In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, legal authorities are more likely to side with the perpetrator than with the victim. But the world is too preoccupied with “Islamophobia” to notice.
“A 12-year-old Christian girl abducted by a Muslim in Sahiwal,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, November 11, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Sahiwal (AsiaNews) – Another Christian girl was abducted by a Muslim in Pakistan. Meerab Abbas, 12, was taken by Muhammad Daud, 10 years her senior and a native of the Pakistani province of Balochistan.
The girl lived in Sahiwal (Punjab) with her mother, Farzana, a 45-year-old widow who works as a domestic worker.
She disappeared on 2 November, in all likelihood taken to Balochistan to be forced to convert to Islam and marry Daud.
So far, police have arrested two suspects, but the girl remains in the hands of her abductors….
Fr Zahid Augustine, pastor in Sahiwal, joined the appeal, explaining that Farzana “already has many challenges to face in her life”.
“We call upon the government to consider these abductions and forced marriages as a grave issue and adopt strict laws to protect minorities, who are essential for the development of the country,” he said.
“Mareeb is only 12 years old, and she cannot marry,” he added. “The perpetrators commit these crimes in the name of religion. We just want justice.”
Human rights activist Ashiknaz Khokhar notes that kidnapping underage girls from religious minorities is commonplace in Pakistan.
“The government is not taking this issue seriously and parliament recently refused to pass the bill on forced conversion,” Khokhar explained.
“Every year about 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls are forced to convert to Islam. There is a dire need for a dedicated law to protect minority girls.”

“The northeastern Malaysian state of Kelantan has implemented amendments to its criminal code based on sharia law, banning about two dozen activities, including attempts of converting out of Islam. Violators could face prison, fines, or canings.”
Imagine caning a person for his or her choice of religion. It’s a Sharia dictate in the religion of peace, in which genuine “diversity” and equality do not exist.
Malaysia, once a beacon of “moderate Islam,” began public canings in 2015 in the same state of Kelantan where this is taking place now.
To convert out of Islam is punishable by death.
“They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliya’ (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliya’ (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them.” Quran 4:89
“…The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’ “Sahih Bukhari 52:260
“There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu’adh asked, ‘Who is this (man)?’ Abu Muisa said, ‘He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism.’ Then Abu Muisa requested Mu’adh to sit down but Mu’adh said, ‘I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice.’ Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, ‘Then we discussed the night prayers'” Sahih Bukhari 84:58
Banned activities in Kelantan also include “distorting Islamic teachings.”
“Malaysian state criminalizes proselytizing, Christian conversions; violators face jail and canings”, by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, November 8, 2021:
The northeastern Malaysian state of Kelantan has implemented amendments to its criminal code based on sharia law, banning about two dozen activities, including attempts of converting out of Islam. Violators could face prison, fines or canings.
The Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019 went into effect on Nov. 1, making 24 activities illegal, The Star newspaper reports.
Banned activities include proselytizing, distorting Islamic teachings, disrespecting the month of Ramadan, destroying houses of worship, tattooing, undergoing plastic surgery, engaging in sexual intercourse with corpses and non-humans, witchcraft and false claims.
The new offenses are punishable by imprisonment up to three years and a fine up to RM5,000 (US$1,202) or six strokes of the cane.
The amendments to the state’s criminal code, proposed in 2019, are based on the Syariah Criminal Code (II) 1993 and the existing 1985 Syariah Criminal Code. The state sultan, Muhammad V, gave consent to the amendments in July 2020.
Kelantan Chief Minister Ahmad Yakob has said during a program on Oct. 31 that the enforcement of the new bans will help strengthen the sharia law not only in Kelantan but also in other states in the Muslim-majority Southeast Asian country.
He was also quoted as saying that the enforcement seeks to educate and bring the violators back to the right path of Islam and is not simply a means to punish them….

Everyone is worried about “Islamophobia”: New Jersey’s unlikeliest new state senator-elect just apologized for criticizing Islam; Muslim leaders in Canada want the Ontario government to be more proactive against “Islamophobia”; and a mosque leader in London recently charged that Muslim women in Britain live in fear of “racism.” Meanwhile, in Pakistan several days ago, Muslims fired upon Christians in an attempt to seize their lands; in Nigeria, Muslims kidnapped over one hundred Christians; and in Egypt, two Muslim brothers murdered a Christian shopkeeper because of his faith. The Muslim persecution of Christians has rarely been as virulent or widespread as it is today, yet it gets little attention. That’s why a new book by Casey Chalk, The Persecuted: True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith in Muslim Lands(Sophia Institute Press), is a breath of fresh air and a welcome dose of realism in an international public discourse increasingly dominated by sloganeering and propaganda.
Chalk explained to me that this much-needed book had its genesis in encounters he had with Pakistani Christian asylum seekers in Bangkok, Thailand, where he and his wife moved in 2014. “The very first Sunday that we attended Mass,” he told me, “I immediately noticed a substantial number of South Asians. We soon befriended several Pakistani families at our parish and became intimately familiar with their stories of persecution, suffering, and loss. While in Thailand, and since returning to the United States in 2017, I’ve written articles about their plight for many Christian and conservative publications. Sophia Institute Press graciously agreed to help turn their stories — and my reflections on the broader global problem they represent — into The Persecuted.”
It’s more than just gracious. It’s urgent, as most Americans are completely unfamiliar with the plight of these Christians, which has been criminally under-reported. Yet “the Pakistani Christians I now count as friends,” Chalk recounts, “have endured terrible trauma. Some have been shot at, others set on fire by angry militant mobs, and others beaten within an inch of their lives. Many have female family members or friends who have been abducted by extremists and forcibly married to Muslim men, something local authorities rarely do anything about.”
Local authorities rarely act because more often than not, they sympathize more with the attackers than with their victims. But in the establishment media narrative, Christians are always white oppressors and Muslims are always and in every case victims, and stories that don’t fit that paradigm get quickly consigned to the memory hole. One story that did get international attention was that of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who spent years on death row in Pakistan on false accusations of blasphemy before finally having her conviction overturned and being able to leave the country. According to Chalk, she was just one of many. “What is particularly alarming,” he says, “is how similar these stories are to that of Asia Bibi. That similarity, I would argue, demonstrates that their experience is not an anomaly. Christians, not only in Pakistan but across the Muslim world, from North Africa to Indonesia, are experiencing the same kinds of mistreatment. With a few exceptions like China and North Korea, almost all of the worst places to be a Christian in the world are in Muslim majority countries.”
Not everyone is indifferent to this. Chalk observes: “I actually think global Christian persecution is a topic that American Christians, at least conservative evangelicals and orthodox Catholics, know at least something about. There are a lot of great organizations aimed at helping the persecuted church, and America’s faithful have often made their voices heard, for example when the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant were terrorizing ancient Christian populations.”
Nonetheless, ignorance and indifference are still massive obstacles that persecuted Christians face. “It’s also a crisis that’s easy to forget about,” Chalk notes, “given both the distance and remoteness of these problems.” There are other problems as well: “A few years ago, some of my articles on the subject were briefed to a congressional subcommittee. Muslim politician Ilhan Omar, who was on that subcommittee, downplayed the plight of oppressed Christian communities and claimed that it’s Muslims who are suffering the most religious persecution globally. That’s unequivocally inaccurate. Christians need to work to keep the record straight.”
That remains an uphill battle in the face of the prevailing indifference. “It’s difficult to remember daily,” says Chalk, “that while we as Christians in America are still having conversations and debates about the role of our faith in public life, Christians in many countries are yearning simply for the freedom to worship in their churches without fear of violent reprisal and to walk the streets unmolested. Mainstream corporate media in this country also do us no favors — as I argue in The Persecuted, coverage of Christian persecution is very limited, and when journalists take the time to report on it, they often get many of the details wrong. Following the daily news cycle, one rarely, if ever, hears about persecuted Christians.”
Indeed. But now Chalk has struck a massive blow against this by giving us The Persecuted. It’s the perfect gift for every establishment media journalist, and a powerful weapon to bring those who are beguiled by fantasy propaganda back to reality.

The UK’s Daily Mail reported the shocking news Wednesday: “Two-thirds of French people think white, European, Christian populations are being ‘threatened with extinction’ by immigration from Muslim and African countries. Sixty percent of French people said such a scenario will ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ play out in the country when asked by pollsters, who published the results last week.”
The poll, according to the Mail, “was conducted to test belief in the idea of a ‘Grand Replacement’, a concept touted by Eric Zemmour - a right-wing pundit who could face off against Macron in next year’s election.” The more common term is “the Great Replacement,” the idea that the political elites are bringing massive numbers of migrants into the free societies of the West in order to subvert them and create a population that is used to authoritarianism and more easily controlled. It’s also an idea that will get you denounced as a conspiracy theorist and hatemonger by our self-anointed moral superiors. Evidently they’re now going to have to write off two-thirds of France’s population as “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
Yet while the British media, and the establishment media all over the world, universally cast the problem in racial terms, the root problem here is not racial at all, but ideological. Oussama Cherribi, a member of the Dutch Parliament, quoted an imam in Holland: “The sharia (Islamic law) does not have to adapt to the modern world because these are divine laws. People have to bend to the sharia.”
According to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Izmir, Turkey, Giuseppe Bernardini, in Europe, “the ‘dominion’ has already begun.” He notes that Saudi “petro-dollars” have been used “not to create work in the poor North African or Middle Eastern countries, but to build mosques and cultural centers in Christian countries with Islamic immigration, including Rome, the center of Christianity....How can we ignore in all this a program of expansion and re-conquest?”
Bernardini recounted a conversation he had with a Muslim leader who said to him: “Thanks to your democratic laws, we will invade you. Thanks to our religious laws, we will dominate you.”
French authorities have been reluctant to antagonize their growing and restive Muslim minority, despite the fact that many imams in France have said essentially the same thing.
Late in September 2019, French politician Marion Maréchal described France’s “first major challenge, the most vital,” as “the Great Replacement, this demographic countdown, which already makes us realize the possibility of becoming a minority on the land of our ancestors.” A multicultural society in France, she said, would be “fractured and violent,” and she noted that France in many ways had already changed beyond recognition: “After 40 years of mass migration, Islamic lobbies, and political correctness, France is in the process of passing from the eldest daughter of the Catholic Church to becoming the little niece of Islam. Terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg — this is not the France that our grandparents fought for.”
Maréchal had a point. Special accommodation of Muslim sensibilities has become the cultural norm in France and all over Western Europe. The accommodation is a one-way street. In October 2020, a Muslim migrant named Abdulakh Anzorov murdered a French schoolteacher, Samuel Paty, for the crime of showing a cartoon of Muhammad to his class. Abdulakh Anzorov’s father, Abouyezid Anzorov, stated proudly: “I educated him to love Allah more than his parents.” At a French school, the Lycée Gustave-Jaume in Pierrelatte, last week, graffiti was found scrawled on a wall in the boy’s restroom: “F*** the Islamophobes,” “To all teachers, I’ll behead you.”
Earlier this month, a French court sentenced another Muslim migrant to four years (that’s all) in prison for attempting to murder his own sister. Her crime? She was “too Westernised.”
There are so many stories like these, published on virtually a daily basis in the French alternative media, that it is impossible to keep track of them all. They vividly illustrate the fact that France has welcomed a large and growing population of people among whom are many who have absolute contempt for French law and no intention of obeying it, and who believe that they have a responsibility before Allah to replace that French law with Islamic law as soon as it becomes possible to do so. After all, the Muslims are the “best of people, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong (Qur’an 3:110), while the non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).
Those vile beings have every reason to be concerned. But they’ll be denounced and vilified as “Islamophobes” anyway.

After 19 years in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Brandi King was fired from her position because she refused to be vaccinated. When her request for an exemption for religious reasons was denied, she was terminated.
She hired a highly successful civilian lawyer with an extensive and successful career in defending such cases, Davis Younts, who said this was part of a pattern to “purge” the military of Christians:
Our military is being purged of those who dare to be faithful to their Heavenly Creator and Savior over the earthly authorities within the government and military.
This [case] should wake up anyone who believes their God-given, constitutionally recognized freedoms will continue to be protected by our military.
In her prior position she either worked alone or from her home. In addition, she tested positive on a serologic test, showing that she had COVID-19 antibodies present from having previously contracted the virus.
None of this mattered. The letter from her commanding lieutenant general said:
I understand your concerns, which are based on your sincerely held beliefs … [nevertheless] I disapprove your request for religious exemption from required immunizations, including the COVID-19 vaccine….
I do not doubt the sincerity of your beliefs. However … I also had to consider the risk to our mission.… Individual medical readiness is a critical requirement for maintaining a healthy and ready force.
He then said that if she chose to appeal his decision, she had 72 hours to do so.
Her commanding officer said that she would now likely “be subject to court martial, dishonorable discharge along with … punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Service (UCMJ).” He said that since her exemption had been denied, he would terminate her service.
Within 24 hours, her orders were canceled.
In her complaint she provided a timeline of the conversations she had with her superiors and said, “This cancellation of my previously approved order, due to my expression of sincerely held religious beliefs, is religious discrimination.” She added:
The cancellation of my orders was a direct result of my … intent to request religious accommodation [and as a result] I have suffered discrimination and substantial burden for exercising my religious beliefs.
Given her attorney’s remarkable record of defending officers in the past, it is likely that this case isn’t going to go away any time soon.
However, it does reflect the claim that Fox News host Tucker Carlson made on his show on September 20, namely, that the purpose behind the vaccine mandate, and the consequent denial of religious exemptions, represented a “takeover of the U.S. military” by progressives. He called it a “ruse” to rid the military of Christians and other undesirables:
The point of mandatory vaccination is to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, the men with high testosterone levels, and anyone else who does not love Joe Biden and make them leave immediately.
It’s a takeover of the U.S. military.
Whether that’s true remains to be seen. But King’s experience, and her filing of a complaint over religious discrimination, suggests that it is.

This teacher was denounced by one of his students, just as in totalitarian regimes such as National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, where young people, so easily led, were exhorted to report their elders who deviated from the groupthink of the day. At Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, the little Hitler Youth reported his English teacher to his superiors for daring to express his Christian faith, which is so far from what is politically and ideologically correct these days that the young Stalinist was shocked out of his Mao suits when the teacher expressed his convictions that Islam was false and that homosexuality was wrong. He doesn’t appear to have gone beyond that; in other words, he didn’t say that any violence or anything untoward at all should be done to Muslims or homosexuals; he just expressed his disapproval. But that was enough for this budding Stasi agent, and he turned him in. Then the school suspended the teacher, saying they did so in order to preserve a safe environment for students — because as everyone knows, words that dissent from the Left’s agenda equal violence.
The fact that this young man’s Muslim friends would affirm their conviction that Christianity is false and that homosexuality is wrong is likely something he does not know, and would not care about if he did know. He knows that Muslims are a protected class and any criticism of Islam would be “Islamophobic.” That is all he knows, and all he needs to know.
“KCPS teacher criticized for remarks about Muslims and LGBTQ+ population,” by Betsy Webster, KCTV, October 28, 2021:
KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) — A teacher at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy High School has been placed on leave because of some controversial comments he made in class.
Students report the 10th grade English teacher was preaching about Christianity, then disparaging Muslims and LGBTQ+ people.
KCTV5 talked with a student with his mom’s permission and agreed not to use his name to keep strangers from contacting him. That student was in the class where it happened Monday. He said it came out of the blue 10 minutes into class.
“And then he kind of got a little emotional and said, ‘If I get fired for this, I don’t really care. I care more about you guys’ and then started to say stuff about how God loves us and he’s going to save us and how if you don’t, like, basically convert to Christianity, then you’re going to live a bad life,” the student recounted. “It was very uncomfortable.”
Students then started debating with the teacher, he said. He recorded a portion of the interchange on his phone and shared the video with KCTV, which goes as follows:
Teacher: Homophobia. What does that mean, like scared of homosexuals? Student: Homosexuality is a sin in the Bible. Teacher: Yes. Student: Meaning it’s a bad thing in the Bible. Teacher: Yes. Student: (Unintelligible) Teacher: Like, what makes saying that homosexuality is wrong not a horrible thing? Student: Yeah, not a horrible (unintelligible). Teacher: It’s just a wrong thing. Students then reportedly asked about other religions.
“He said that he thinks Muslims are wrong and that Mohammed was a terrible person,” the student recalled.
The principal sent an email to parents saying, in part, “Both LCPA [Lincoln College Preparatory Academy] and KCPS [Kansas City Public Schools] are committed to a school environment that is safe and welcoming for everyone, including honoring separation of church and state within our school community.”
The student KCTV5 interviewed was pleased with how the administration handled the situation, noting that he emailed the principal from class and the teacher was gone at the end of the next period.
A district spokeswoman sent the following statement:
“Our students deserve better than what they got, and we are so grateful to the students who came forward to make us aware of what was happening. Once our administrators were made aware, they went into the teacher’s classroom to observe. At that point the teacher was removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave.”
“I’m pretty sure like 99% of everyone is agreeing that he should not come back to school for a while,” the reporting student said of the student body’s response.
He said there are a significant number of Muslim and LGBTQ+ students at the school, adding that — until yesterday — the teacher was well-liked for giving students a lot of creative freedom on writing assignments.
The district spokeswoman said any disciplinary action would come after an internal investigation, which began immediately….

Micki Jeans is a CT technologist and works for Ballad Health of Tennessee. Up until October 31, that is, when she will resign. She gave two weeks’ notice directly to Alan Levine, executive chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Ballad Health.
In her nine-page letter of resignation, Jeans gave her reasons: Levine sold out, and in good conscience and as a Christian, she can’t work for him anymore:
You are the sole reason that I am resigning from your company, Ballad Health….
You have infringed upon my personal rights and freedoms and the freedom of your employees.
She started from the beginning. For 30 years, she labored faithfully for Mountain States Health Alliance, which became Ballad. And she believed Levine had her best interests at heart. She also believed him when he declared himself to be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ:
When you became CEO, I appreciated your spiritual words of encouragement. I was your advocate. When others came against you, I defended you for no other reason than your consistent religious encouragement.
I thought you to be a Godly man. I considered you not only a hospital leader worthy of respect but a friend and a fellow brother in Christ.
In July 2021, however, “all that changed. I watched as you adhered to the unconstitutional words of the unelected CDC, FDA, WHO, and OSHA … and even the current, yet corrupt, Biden Administration.… I watched you speak on CNN … urging Americans to take the experimental injections.”
She learned the reason why: He was protecting his company from federal sanctions if he didn’t sell out and go along:
I have recently learned … that if you did not adhere to the guidance of these … organizations, you would no longer receive Medicare/Medicaid funding.
You had a decision to make.
You could have, and should have, found a way to fight for Medicare/Medicaid funding while going against the unconstitutional mandates….
You did not choose wisely.
Instead, Levine chose to segregate his employees by badges they were required to wear, for those vaccinated, and those unvaccinated. He forced them to share their private health information.
In so doing, she wrote, he walked away from his Christian faith:
I was shocked that you would go along this path of division because you have claimed Christianity. God calls us to bring unity and peace, not division. You had the incredible opportunity to use your platform to stand up for what is right.
Could you imagine the mountains you could have moved?
Unfortunately, you did not use your platform to stand up for freedom.
There was a moment in time when she saw clearly who Levine really was:
The moment you told every single one of your employees via email that we would face disciplinary action up to termination if we did not comply with your badge buddy system, I saw you in a completely different light.
When you began to encourage the Covid-19 injections, I felt that you absolutely did not care about the freedom of anybody.
As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I value every God-given freedom that I have. In my life, I endured 7 months of captivity and I learned to value and to always fight for the human rights and freedom of every human being.
Jeans had done her homework, even if Levine hadn’t:
I am surprised that you, an educated and Christian man, cannot see right through what Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, and the billionaire global elites on this earth are trying to do. I do hope at this point that you will consider opening your eyes to the evil and corrupt global agenda, of which you are unfortunately a part.
The pandemic is not a healthcare crisis, she wrote, but “a global bioweapon against humanity.” And Levine doubled down by accusing “those who speak the truth of spreading disinformation and misinformation.”
She closed her letter of resignation:
I never would have imagined that I would be fighting government mandates and requirements by [Ballad Health] to receive a non-FDA approved experimental treatment for a disease with a 99.5% survival rate….
Medical decisions should be the sole responsibility of the individual.… These rights are God-given, inalienable, and constitutionally secured! Medical tyranny has no place in America or in Tennessee.
Her letter sounded like an application for membership in The John Birch Society:
I will join every group, every person, every doctor and healthcare worker to stand against what you are doing. I will work to unify the people of this community, not divide them. I will work to support your employees, my peers, who have gotten these injections under duress and coercion. I will work to give Ballad Health employees a voice.
I will work to educate people about our Constitution and make them aware of the freedoms that God gave them. I will travel, speak, write letters, emails and I will do everything in my power to expose the corruption of our world, our beautiful country, our state, and your company.
I will join forces with the Patriots of this great nation to do everything that I can to … combat what you and others are allowing to happen to our nation….
I will give my breath and my very life for the freedom of the citizens of this great nation and for our future generations. I will not stand idly by as communism, socialism, and global elites try to take us out. I was a soldier when our military was honorable and defended our freedoms and I am a soldier for Christ. I will fight. I. WILL. FIGHT.
She signed her letter: “Unvaccinated, unmasked, unashamed, and unafraid.”
Levine’s company’s website declares that, when they were considering what to name the new conglomeration of healthcare companies, “People told us they want to receive care from someone who really listens to them. When our health care is at stake, we need to be able to trust our caregiver.… We’re listening.”
Is Levine listening? Will he respond by doing the right thing? Or will Jeans’ letter of resignation be tossed into the round file so he can continue supporting the pandemic canard against his people?
My name is Micki Jeans and this is my letter of resignation. I am sending it directly to you because you are the sole reason that I am resigning from your company, Ballad Health.
I will admit that I am constantly learning and that I may not understand the details of your job like you don’t understand the details of mine, but there is one thing that I am certain of. You have infringed upon my personal rights and freedoms and the freedom of your employees. I am not concerned about whether (or when) you choose to mandate the experimental and highly controversial Covid-19 injections. I am concerned that you would even consider it.
Let me start by saying that since the onset of my employment with Ballad, long before you took over, I have considered Mountain States Health Alliance the most favorable company that I have ever had the pleasure of working for. When you became the CEO, I appreciated your spiritual words of encouragement. I was your advocate. When others came against you, I defended you for no other reason than your consistent religious encouragement. I thought you to be a Godly man. I considered you not only a hospital leader worthy of respect but a friend and a fellow brother in Christ.
However, In July 2021, all of that changed. I watched as you adhered to the unconstitutional words of the unelected CDC, FDA, WHO, and OSHA through the Department of Labor, and even the current, yet corrupt, Biden administration. You consistently sent us emails stating these words, “according to the CDC.” Admittedly, I was never aware of the evil dictates of these organizations until I was in the position to have to learn more about them. I naively trusted our medical leaders and hospital administrators. I watched you speak on CNN, abusing the “Christian, Conservative, Republican” stance urging Americans to take the experimental injections.
I wonder if your employees realize that Comirnaty (which is not currently in production in America and will not be until 2023), not the current Pfizer-BioNtech injections, was approved by the FDA, and fraudulently at that, according to Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Carrie Madej, and Pfizer whistleblower and scientist, Karen Kingston among others.
I have recently learned from you that if you did not adhere to the guidance of these, in my opinion corrupt, organizations, you would no longer receive Medicare/Medicaid funding. You had a decision to make. You could have, and should have, found a way to fight for Medicare/Medicaid funding while going against the unconstitutional mandates that you instead, seemed to simply accept. In my opinion, you did not choose wisely. To me, it appears that you chose the success of your company over the freedom and rights of your employees and your patients.
You were asked to segregate, separate, and divide over 3,000 employees and you chose to do that with color-coded badges, indicating their injection status.
You were asked to make your employees share their private health information and to violate their own HIPPA rights, the very same rights that we have been taught BY YOU and others to honor during my career of over 30 years.
I was shocked that you would go along this path of division because you have claimed Christianity. God calls us to bring unity and peace, not division. You had the incredible opportunity to use your platform to stand up for what is right. Could you imagine the mountains you could have moved? Unfortunately, you did not use your platform to stand up for freedom.
I read your emails to us where you stated that you were listening to both sides of the current Covid-19 injection opinions, yet I never once heard you inform us that God was your ultimate voice. King David asked God for direction, not his leaders. David wrote in Psalm 118:8 that “it is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” Thank goodness Job did not listen to his friends.
Joshua 24:15 says, “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
2 Timothy 4:2-4 “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will ACCUMULATE FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS TO SUIT THEIR OWN PASSIONS, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”
We fought back against your mandate and you retreated, admitting that you were wrong, but YOU made us fight for ourselves. You didn’t seem to mind seeing us divided. You didn’t seem to mind watching us be brow-beaten by doctors and coworkers, including yourself, for choosing not to take these human experimental injections. You didn’t seem to mind watching injected cliques of people suddenly put on masks and socially distance themselves when an un-injected person walked up to them.
You were asked to support the injections that corrupt global elites choose to falsely call a vaccine, again, in my opinion, which matters just as much as yours. I would like to encourage you to listen to God’s Word in 1 Timothy 6:20 which says, “Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of SCIENCE falsely so-called, which some professing have ERRED concerning the faith.”
The moment you told every single one of your employees via email that we would face disciplinary action up to termination if we did not comply with your badge buddy system, I saw you in a completely different light. When you began to encourage the Covid-19 injections, I felt that you absolutely did not care about the freedom of anybody. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I value every God-given freedom that I have. In my life, I endured 7 months of captivity and I learned to value and to always fight for the human rights and freedom of every human being.
You should be ashamed for making your employees fight for their God-given, inalienable rights. You cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). You cannot serve God and money. You will either love one and hate the other or hate one and love the other. We haven’t received a biblical devotional from you in quite some time. I humbly suggest that you start with this scripture.
As for the CDC, FDA, and the WHO, I am surprised that you, an educated and Christian man, cannot see right through what Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, and the billionaire global elites on this earth are trying to do. I do hope at this point that you will consider opening your eyes to the evil and corrupt global agenda, of which you are unfortunately a part.
If you were on the side of freedom and humanity, and the army of God Himself, it never would have crossed your mind to segregate and discriminate your employees and consider mandating these injections for the sake of the financial Medicare/Medicaid gods. If you would have stood against this from the beginning, I would have respected you and stood with you to fight against government overreach.
During these last few months, I have educated myself on your history. I have learned of the prior accusations against you regarding setting admission goals for the Florida hospital at 20%. I am concerned that money has driven you for years. And sir, quite honestly, I have grieved over learning what you truly seem to value. Money. Not employees. Not people. Not humanity. Not freedom.
You seem to believe that this is a medical crisis and not a global bioweapon against humanity. You seem to believe these injections should be mandated. You seem to believe that your employees cannot see the truth. You have gone as far as to increase wages by 20% plus other financial incentives to keep people working for you. I personally have been informed that you have increased my hourly wage by 20%. 20%! I cannot be bought.
Vulnerable people who work for Ballad Health are trying to financially care for their families. You have selfishly made us choose between our morality and money.
You have even written condescending letters to people, including your employees, in the public eye of Facebook, who do not share your views. Therefore, I will bring this to the public eye.
You have accused those who speak the truth of spreading misinformation and disinformation. I believe that you are spreading misinformation and disinformation. The point is that everybody has the right to their opinion, their own research, and decisions. We are free. Those who are speaking the truth are being bullied and put down, even threatened that their medical licenses will be pulled. I believe it is you who should be pulled and punished.
You will answer to God for your actions on this earth, we all will. Shame on you, Mr. Levine. I have watched as some of our honorable physicians have tried to order vitamins and nutrients for their patients who are suffering from Covid-19. They have ordered medications, only to be undermined by you. With all due respect, neither you nor I are physicians and we do not have the authority to authorize or not authorize orders from a physician.
I have read in the charts of patients here at Ballad where physicians have had to state that “Ballad does not allow the use of Zinc or Vitamin C in the treatment of COVID 19, despite a doctor’s order, pharmacy is authorized to withhold it.” The public and this community have a right to know that. They have a right to know that you have NOT authorized Hydroxychloroquine/ivermectin azithromycin/colchicine/IV or supratherapeutic dose vitamins or minerals for use for COVID-19 at Ballad Health facilities outside of clinical trial, and WHY.
To summarize the words of those who stand for Tennessee (standfortn.com): I never would have imagined that I would be fighting government mandates and requirements by (my words Ballad Health) to receive a non-FDA approved experimental treatment for a disease with a 99.5% survival rate. Governments absolutely should NOT mandate any sort of medical treatment, like vaccines, for which manufacturers carry no-fault or liability for injuries or damages. Medical decisions should be the sole responsibility of the individual and in the case of minors, parental rights should, and still do, reign supreme over any governmental authority. These rights are God-given, inalienable and constitutionally secured! Medical tyranny has no place in America or in Tennessee. Many people have died with Covid-19, not from it.
I will take this time to remind you of the 10 points of the Nuremberg Code.
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
This means that the person involved should have the legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rest upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
During the course of the experiment, the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
There is no informed consent because, to date, there is no accurate, unprotested, factual information to consent to.
Mr. Levine, because you consistently profess to adhere to the CDC guidelines in order to make your decisions, here are some numbers from the CDC that you may want to be aware of. Keep in mind that a study from Harvard University has shown that less than 1% of all vaccine injuries, illnesses, and deaths are reported to VAERS. As of October 1st, 2021, there have been:
The swine flu injections were halted after 26 deaths!
I hate to even imagine the role you continuously choose to play in the responsibility of these numbers.
You stood proudly in solidarity with some of the medical providers of SOPHA, encouraging the COVID-19 injections for everyone ages 12 and over, including expecting and lactating mothers. You said “TRUST US.” Mr. Levine, I do not trust you with my medical treatment. I do not trust you with the treatment of my children and my grandchildren. I do not trust the providers and medical stand by you. My family does not trust you. I will not say that you have broken the trust of many members of our community unless I have written evidence. But I will say that there does exist the possibility. Once trust is broken, it is difficult, if not impossible, to earn back.
In closing, as a fellow human being and sister in Christ, I must consistently repent and turn from my evil ways. I urge you to do the same. It would be prudent to at the very least admit the possibility that it is you, not the physicians who you come against, who is hurting people. I encourage you to seek God, to turn back to your Creator.
2 Chronicles 7:13-14 says, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is not rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send PESTILENCE among My people, if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
1 Timothy 2:2-3 says, “For kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.”
1 Timothy 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared.”
Mr. Levine, with all due respect, you sign every email with the words, “God bless you.” I would never admonish you as a brother in Christ if you did not openly profess your faith. As a Christian man, you are accountable to God for every word that you speak. We should all make sure our hearts are right with God before we use His name.
Matthew 15:8, Jesus says, “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
As a courtesy to you, I am letting you know right now that I have done my research. I will fight this government overreach and global agenda with every fiber of my being. You will begin to see my name in our area, and you will hear my voice. I am not on your side.
I will join every group, every person, every doctor, and healthcare worker to stand against what you are doing. I will work to unify the people of this community, not divide them. I will work to support your employees, my peers, who have gotten these injections under duress and coercion. I will work to give Ballad Health employees a voice.
I will work to educate people about our Constitution and make them aware of the freedoms that God gave them. I will travel, speak, write letters, emails and I will do everything in my power to expose the corruption of our world, our beautiful country, our state, and your company. I will join forces with the Patriots of this great nation to do everything that I can to build a parallel society, a parallel financial system, a parallel healthcare system, to combat what you and others are allowing to happen to our nation.
I will be going public with this letter of resignation.
I will give my breath and my very life for the freedom of the citizens of this great nation and for our future generations. I will not stand idly by as communism, socialism, and global elites try to take us out. I was a soldier when our military was honorable and defended our freedoms and I am a soldier for Christ. I will fight. I. WILL. FIGHT.
I am not afraid of losing every last comfort that I have to stand up for what is right. I will not comply with an exit interview with anybody but you. For you alone are responsible for every action within Ballad Health.

Unvaccinated, unmasked, unashamed, and unafraid,
Micki Jeans Proud leader of the Ballad Health Liberty Union
“I will give my breath and my very life for the freedom of the citizens of this great nation and for our future generations.”
“Mr. Levine, I do not trust you with my medical treatment. I do not trust you with the treatment of my children and my grandchildren. I do not trust the providers and medical stand by you. My family does not trust you.”
Micki Jean, a Computerized Tomography Technologist who turned in her resignation letter to Alan Levin, President and CEO of Ballad Health, is without a doubt, a true American patriot.

A Canadian pastor who was jailed for holding a church service last spring was recently sentenced to a variety of penalties, including a requirement that whenever he speaks out against government COVID-19 mandates, he must also read a disclaimer stating that his views do not align with those of “medical experts.”
Pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Cave at Adullam church in Calgary, Alberta, and his brother Dawid Pawlowski were arrested “in a dramatic highway takedown” in May for defying “a government-mandated health order to keep [their] services at reduced capacity and enforce social distancing and mask-wearing,” The New American reported at the time. The two men spent three nights in jail before being released on bail.
Last Wednesday, Alberta Justice Adam Germain sentenced the Pawlowskis for contempt of court. Although Germain rejected prosecutors’ requests for jail time for the men, he did fine them both heavily, place them on probation, order them to perform community service, and prohibit them from leaving Alberta without their probation officers’ permission.
Perhaps most shocking of all, though, was his demand that “whenever they are opposing the … Health Orders in any public forum…, they must also place the other side of the argument on the record” in the form of this statement:
I am also aware that the views I am expressing to you on this occasion may not be views held by the majority of medical experts in Alberta. While I may disagree with them, I am obliged to inform you that the majority of medical experts favor social distancing, mask wearing, and avoiding large crowds to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Most medical experts also support participation in a vaccination program unless for a valid religious or medical reason you cannot be vaccinated. Vaccinations have been shown statistically to save lives and to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.
There was no word on whether Germain intended to impose a similar mandate for even-handedness on anyone speaking in favor of COVID-19 restrictions or vaccines.
But then Germain is hardly an unbiased arbiter. His 12-page ruling, released Friday, is riddled with statements demonstrating that he sides with the coronavirus tyrants. He repeatedly referred to the health orders as having been “designed to protect people.” He claimed that the Pawlowskis had “contributed to this ominous health situation by their defiance of the health rules and their public posturing.” He complained that Artur Pawlowski had condemned “everyone who follows the science on COVID-19.” And he ultimately declared that the brothers “are on the wrong side of science, history, and common sense.” (There are, of course, mountains of evidence to suggest that those pushing the various so-called mitigation strategies, including the vaccines, are “on the wrong side of science.”)
Germain wrote that while he agrees that the health orders “are all intrusions on personal liberty, they are not sacrifices that would offend the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and they are not egregious sacrifices.” Tell that to the churches and businesses that have gone under all over the world because of such restrictions.
Germain seemed to be less offended by the Pawlowskis’ defiance of the orders than he was by their willingness to speak out against them even if it meant going to prison. Indeed, he suggested that their opposition to the orders had little to do with principle and much to do with fundraising and fame. He griped that Artur Pawlowski had taken advantage of his international fame after his arrest to make a speaking tour of the United States, something “leaders and statesmen don’t do.” He also said the pastor’s repeated references to the health-order enforcers as “Nazis” were “inappropriate.”
In addition, Germain made a point of sentencing the Pawlowskis to punishments severe enough to “impact and influence” the behavior “of others who choose to flaunt [sic] court orders.” In other words, he wanted to make an example of them.
“Welcome to Chinada 2021,” Artur Pawlowski quipped after leaving court last week.
“[Now] every time I open my mouth to the public,” he said, “I have to lie … stating that vaccinations are saving lives, that masks work, that doctors and scientists are all for restrictions.”

The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) is suing the Biden administration over two mandates that force religious nonprofit and for-profit employers to fund "gender transition surgeries, procedures, counseling, and treatments."
Alliance Defending Freedom on Tuesday filed a motion asking a federal district court in Bozeman, Montana, to cease enforcement of the measures on behalf of the Christian employers group, an organization that provides support to Christian businesses and nonprofits, National Review reports.
The lawsuit maintains that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is misinterpreting and improperly enforcing the definition of sex discrimination included in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to force employers to provide gender transition medical coverage and procedures against their religious beliefs.
The lawsuit says the enforcement of a similar mandate by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that reinterprets "sex" to include gender identity will make religious health care providers "physically perform, facilitate, or promote gender transition surgeries and procedures that are contrary to their deeply held religious beliefs and expert medical judgment."
Title VII makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity) or religion. The Act also makes it unlawful to retaliate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
The CEA says on its website that its mission is to "unite, equip, and represent Christian-owned businesses to protect religious freedom and provide the opportunity for employees, businesses, and communities to flourish."
CEA President Shannon Royce said "employers and entrepreneurs, like many Americans, are growing increasingly concerned by rising costs that can be blamed in part on oppressive government mandates."
"These gender transition mandates greatly exacerbate this problem by threatening religious employers with punishing fines, burdensome litigation costs, the loss of federal funds, and even criminal penalties," Royce said. "Additionally, the mandate creates a unique quagmire of concerns for religious healthcare providers by forcing them to speak positively about gender transition procedures even if they disagree with them."
In May 2021, the Biden administration prohibited discrimination against transgender people in healthcare.
Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Matt Bowman said Biden has "far overreached his constitutional authority" by improperly enforcing federal law "to the detriment of people of faith across the country."
"The government cannot force Christian employers to pay for, or physically perform, harmful medical procedures that contradict their religious beliefs," Bowman said in a statement.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga. in 2020, said sex discrimination protections in the workplace include transgender people. Some Christian conservatives are concerned that the decision has impacted religious freedoms and affected faith-based employment.
Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said at the time that the Supreme Court had effectively redefined the legal meaning of "sex."

From the international media, you’d get the impression that this is how Muslims are treated in the U.S. and Europe, not the way Christians are treated in Iran. And the establishment media won’t say a word about this.
“‘We weren’t afraid of prison, but we were afraid of being raped,’” Article 18, October 1, 2021:
Emma’s interrogator said her arrest was part of a major national operation, in which Christians in as many as 23 other Iranian provinces had been detained.
It was the day after Christmas in 2010, just two months since the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had warned in an infamous speech in Qom that the spread of house-churches were among the “critical threats” facing the Islamic Republic – by “deceiving young Muslims”.
It was a speech that made headlines around the world, and it seems as though Emma’s interrogator was one of those listening.
“He said that if they don’t stop Christians, and the Church, the security of the country would be at risk,” Emma recalls….
Emma, whose birth name was Azam Safaei, had been arrested at her home in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, early in the morning of 26 December.
“It was between 6.30am and 7am when someone rang our doorbell,” she explains. “It was cloudy that day. I heard the bell, but I was still sleepy. Suddenly, my husband, Peyman, said loudly: ‘Get up, grab everything you can, and clean up. The MOIS [Ministry of Intelligence Service] are here. They’re climbing over the wall!’”
Four male agents proceeded to enter their home, waking up their school-age children, Negar and Navid, whom Emma says were “terrified and wanted to know what had happened”.
Eventually, the children were ordered to go outside and play in the garden.
“But out of curiosity, and also fear, from behind the curtain they tried to look inside the house,” Emma says, until an officer ordered them not to.
The agents then searched the property for anything related to Christianity, placing all they found on the floor of the family’s main room. These were the items that were to be confiscated.
They included, in Emma’s words, “paintings of Jesus and the Last Supper, a beautiful carved wooden cross, and a crystal cross we had bought from Kish [an island in the Persian Gulf], different Christian books, and a Bible which I had recently got for my mother”.
None of these items were ever returned.
Search completed, Emma was escorted out of her home and told to keep her head down as she was driven away to an unknown location.
She was then blindfolded and made to hold onto a roll of paper, with which she was led into a building.
“There were people laughing at me and telling me to be careful not to fall,” Emma explains….
She says that during her arrest, “the fear of being raped kept coming to my mind, and this made me suffer.
“We had heard a lot about the rapes of women, and even men, during the detentions in 2009 [after mass protests]. We were not afraid of going to prison, but we were afraid of being raped.
“Once, a man entered my solitary cell, with his shoes on, and other officers locked the door from the outside. I was very scared.
“He had a piece of paper in his hand, and he asked me medical questions. But after the interrogation ended, he asked, with a strange smile on his face, ‘Do you have experience being arrested? Does your husband know you’re here?’ I tensed up, became defensive, and didn’t look into his face. I only said: ‘Yes, he knows I’m here.’”
When Emma later refused to sign a piece of paper committing to no more involvement with Christians, she says her interrogator, knowing her fear of rape, used this “weakness” to imply that if she stayed in prison any longer, that would be the consequence.
“He said with a grin: ‘It seems as though you like it here and would like to stay longer?’ He had found my weakness, and started to speak suggestively,” Emma says.
“I bowed my head and said that I wouldn’t sign what he had written – that it would be like still being in prison, and take away my basic rights. How could I not connect with anyone?”
So the interrogator took another sheet of paper and changed some of the wording.
This time it read: “You don’t have the right to evangelise. You don’t have the right to gather with church members. You can’t travel from Iran to Armenia or Turkey. You must obtain written permission to travel to other cities within Iran… All until the judge issues a verdict.”
When Emma was finally brought before a judge – “a young man, strongly built” – she was struck by the cleanliness of the room.
“It felt very odd to see such a clean room in that place,” she says. “The smell of coffee also filled the room. Everyone was drinking coffee.”
This was in stark contrast to the place she had been held, which Emma describes as “a very dirty room with no windows… My body was itching because of the dust and dampness of the environment. The walls were painted only superficially; beneath the paint, you could see the scribbles of former prisoners. It was very depressing and suffocating.
“I asked for soap and they said there was soap. I told them that it was small and dirty. They laughed and said: ‘She thinks she’s come to a hotel!’”
The judge told Emma that what she had said in her interrogations about God being able to speak to people was blasphemy, and asked whether she already knew that his verdict was going to be the death sentence.
Emma’s response was both shocking and courageous.
“I said that if the God that I love issued my death sentence, then I would be ready to die,” Emma says. “The judge became angry and said that I was naive, looking for trouble, and that I had been deceived.”
This wasn’t the first time Emma had been threatened with death for her decision to become a Christian.
Inside the prison, she says “Ayatollah Khamenei’s speech about the death sentence for apostasy from Islam was regularly played over the loudspeakers”…..

Following the university’s court battles against Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Austin Tong, Gabelli School of Business at Lincoln Center ’21, Fordham was ranked 145 of 154 schools in the College Free Speech Rankings survey by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) in 2021. The ranking was determined by feedback from Fordham students.
FIRE is a nonpartisan organization committed “to defend and sustain the individual rights of students and faculty members at America’s colleges and universities,” according to the organization’s website. FIRE educates students about First Amendment rights.
Fordham has been ranked in FIRE’s list of the worst 10 schools for free speech three times, with statements from FIRE specifically referencing the SJP lawsuit and the Austin Tong controversy.
“Fordham does promise free speech. And right now, it is bad at living up to that promise.”Adam Goldstein, FCLC ’99
This year’s list is based on the opinions of 250 Fordham students. FIRE did not specify how these students were selected or if they were representative of the student body. Students in the survey expressed that they found it difficult to have “an open and honest conversation” about racial inequality, the conflict in Palestine, and many other issues at Fordham.
Adam Goldstein, Fordham College at Lincoln Center ’99, senior research counsel to the president at FIRE, explained that Fordham’s broken promises of guaranteeing free speech to students led to the university’s low ranking.
“Fordham does promise free speech. And right now, it is bad at living up to that promise, according to its own students,” Goldstein said.
Fordham is classified by FIRE as a “red light” institution, meaning Fordham has at least one policy that clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech.
Fordham has been issued a red light warning specifically for its IT policies. The policy states that the following actions are banned: “using any IT resource or communication services, including email or other means, to intimidate, insult, embarrass and harass others; to interfere unreasonably with an individual’s work, research or educational performance; or to create a hostile or offensive working or learning environment.”
”While it might be nice if people didn’t insult each other, banning insults is a speech restraint incompatible with Fordham’s other promises,” Goldstein said. “Reforming the IT policy alone would have improved Fordham’s ranking substantially.”
The survey used 100 points to rank schools, with 88 of those points coming directly from student responses to the FIRE survey. Only 7% of respondents said that it was extremely clear that the Fordham administration protects free speech, while 13% said it was not clear at all.
“Fordham’s campus is not a place for free speech under the current rules in place about public display and protest.”anonymous sophomore
One junior who was surveyed expressed being unable to express their opinion about the prison-industrial complex in class: “My professor immediately shut me down and made me feel like a bad person in front of the whole class.”
A sophomore surveyed said they were concerned by how Fordham responds to student protests.
“Anytime that I think of wanting to have a protest on campus I think of the severe punishments that the administration has dealt to students in the past,” the student said. “Fordham’s campus is not a place for free speech under the current rules in place about public display and protest.”
Goldstein suggested that Fordham incorporates a commitment to free speech in orientation materials, as well as releasing a statement to students clarifying Fordham’s commitment to free speech.
“Fordham is free to believe what it chooses, and should be answerable for what it chooses to believe,” Goldstein said. “If Fordham wants to continue onward as an institution that restrains student protest and social media activity, it should remove the free speech promises from its policies and honestly admit that it doesn’t intend to protect free speech.”
Bob Howe, vice president for communications, declined to comment on the ranking.

“What they’re doing today is identical to what I remember growing up” under Soviet communism in Poland, lamented Pastor Artur Pawlowski recently. There is one difference, though:
The communists might have been a bit more even-handed.
Even in China today, religion is persecuted across the board; in fact, a million Uighur Muslims are in concentration camps. But, says Pawlowski, who was recently arrested the very moment he returned to Canada from a trip, while his church was shut down for violating COVID-19 guidelines, “mosques were fully operational” with thousands gathering together.
The Polish-Canadian pastor who has been repeatedly arrested for holding church services in Calgary, Alberta, said Canadian border police confiscated his belongings and apparently broke into his personal computer.
When Pastor Artur Pawlowski landed back in his home city of Calgary on Monday following a four-month tour of the United States, customs officials were waiting to cuff him on the tarmac for two criminal charges, he told Fox News in an interview.
“They have fallen to a new low,” Pawlowski said of the Canadian authorities. “Our lawyers contacted them and asked them if there are any pending warrants for me when I was in the states. They said that there are no pending warrants, [sic] there is nothing outstanding.”
Pawlowski had been traveling throughout the United States over the summer to spread his warning that Western governments increasingly resemble the communist regime in Poland he fled as a young man.
His tour followed the international attention he received in April when officials went to his church in Canada during Holy Week to inspect it for COVID-19 compliance. Because they entered the sanctuary armed and uninvited during a worship service, Pawlowski refused to speak with them.
Instead, he accused them of being “Nazis” and shouted them down until they agreed to leave. Video of the encounter went viral.
But authorities weren’t done with Pawlowski. They returned three weeks later, and on May 8 (video below) the Calgary police pulled the pastor and his brother over and arrested them while the pair were returning home from church.
As for Pawlowski’s most recent arrest (video below), the “Calgary Police Service…said Tuesday that he was charged in relation to the following warrants: failing to wear a face-covering (March 13, 2021) and disobeying a court order (June 5, 2021),” reports Global News. The latter charge involves “contempt of court” for holding church services in violation of lockdown restrictions; a judge will decide on October 18 whether the pastor will spend 21 days in jail as a consequence.
Pawlowski spoke about his persecution on the Ingraham Angle’s Wednesday edition. As Fox News also reports:
“I came to the United States with a simple warning,” the pastor told [host Laura] Ingraham about his recent trip abroad.
“You’re next,” he said. “If they came for me, be sure of it, they’re coming for you as well.”
He called the individuals who arrested him “masked gangsters,” that he “couldn’t even consider them officers of the law.”
…Pawlowski told Fox News in April he was raised under Soviet communism in Poland. “It was a disaster,” he said about his childhood. “Police officers could break into your house five in the morning, they could beat you up, torture, they could arrest you for no matter what reason they would come up with … So, it was like a flashback when those police officers showed up at my church. Everything kind of came back to life from my childhood, and the only thing I could do is to fend off the wolves as a shepherd … We as lions should never bow before the hyenas, and that’s what they’re right now.”
“You came to freedom,” Ingraham said about the pastor’s journey to Canada. “This is feeling very Soviet to me,” adding that the process was incremental.
The pastor responded that he believed “What they’re doing today is identical to what I remember growing up” .
But then there’s that aforementioned difference. As The Christian Post reported Sunday:
Pawlowski told The Christian Post in June that police frequently monitored his church services to make sure he was abiding by coronavirus restrictions and social distancing guidelines. He said the intrusions weren’t necessary because he streamed the church services online. The livestreams illustrated that “I was not hiding the fact that we are not following those restrictions.”
As law enforcement repeatedly descended on his church services, “the mosques were fully operational.” He added that “no one harassed them, no one interfered with them.”
“Not one Imam was being harassed or intimidated. And to this day, there’s not one Imam or one Muslim that has a ticket, even though we have video evidence and pictures [of] them gathering … through the whole Ramadan by the thousands,” he said.
Pawlowski’s YouTube channel includes a video of a gathering of thousands of Muslims that took place on the last day of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Muslim calendar, which police allowed without interruption. He estimated that “about 2,000 people, maybe more, were there.”
This pro-Islam, anti-Christian double standard is common now in Western nations. It’s the phenomenon that, for example,
As for the Branch COVIDians, they’re almost as zealous about their “health” jihad as the Muslims whose efforts they facilitate are about their Islamic jihad. But not only is the coronavirus situation overblown, as regular New American readers know but something else should be pondered:
Even if SARS-CoV-2 regulations did save lives (they actually appear to cost them), would it all be worth the permanent sacrifice of our Western traditions, rights, freedoms, and faith? What does it profit a nation to gain the world but lose its soul?

It also honors its “forebears who fought for the survival, freedom and independence” of Hungary.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been vocal about his country’s determination to reject open-door immigration in order to preserve Hungarian culture. He has put a stop to illegal Muslim migrants trying to storm in, by building a wall. The EU has condemned Orban for his stance as he continues to expose the goals of globalists.
Responsible immigration while upholding the rule of law and national security should be a priority for every nation. Instead, these important attributes of any leader have been virtually abandoned by “progressive” globalists and weak so-called conservative leaders (such as Boris Johnson).
Ahead of European Parliament elections in 2019, Orban stated in a speech:
“We wish for the veil to fall from the eyes of the people of Europe, so they can see and understand that without Christian culture there will be no free life in Europe,” said Orban, who sees Muslim immigrants as threats to Europe’s lifestyle. “Without defending our Christian culture, we will lose Europe and Europe will no longer belong to Europeans.”
“Orban: Mass Migration Agenda Part of ‘Global Plan’ to Create ‘New Proletariat’ in the West,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, September 24, 2021:
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán believes the mass migration agenda is part of a “global plan” to create a “new proletariat” in the West, advanced by people who care nothing for culture and national identity and consider only economics.
Speaking at the 4th Budapest Demographic Conference, organised as a forum where pro-family policies and other measures to reverse population decline without resorting to mass immigration, Orbán addressed attendees including former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, the President of Serbia, the Serbian President of Bosnia, and the prime ministers of Slovakia and Slovenia, noting that the cause of national conservatism had “suffered sensitive political losses” in recent years.
“President Trump was not able to continue his work” in the United States after January 2021, he lamented, while former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now in opposition — “and God knows what will happen in Germany this Sunday” when Angela Merkel’s notionally centre-right party may be displaced by a left-wing government possibly including the communist Marxist Left Party in national elections.
“Like those before me, we are concerned about the advent of the New Marxist, New Leftist ‘woke’ movement, as it is called in America. We can see that already in kindergartens they want to miseducate our children; they use children as Pride activists, they are telling children about the ‘free choice of genre — this is part of the New Marxist ‘woke’ programme,” he warned.
Decades of Soviet communist domination, however, has “inoculated” former Eastern Bloc countries such as Hungary and Poland against “the ‘woke’ virus”, in his view — “our history is protecting us against the cultural left.”
As a result, the Hungarian leader suggested, his government and likeminded administrations in the region can see the divide on demographics more clearly.
“Is it a problem that the population is in decline?” he asked.
“The West… just does not want to maintain itself. Let’s not beat around the bush: certain civilisations are able to reproduce; the Western civilisation is not able to reproduce — so much so that they are unable to decide whether this is a problem at all.
“Some are of the opinion that this is not a problem, and they argue that by increasing productivity and by developing technology fewer people will be able to generate more goods, more public good. Mechanised production, artificial intelligence, an automated economy — human labour doesn’t count anymore. That is the technocratic, Silicon Valley solution,” he explained.
“And there are others who sense the problem of declining demographics and they want migration. They believe alien peoples from distant lands should be moved in and that will stop the demographic decline. But mass migration… the millions of people who have been lured here, are basically a global plan of moving in the new proletariat,” he accused, adding that the promoters of this worldview “do not take into account the cultural aspect of democracy.”…..

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul asked members of a Brooklyn church to "be my apostles" to promote New York's vaccine mandate agenda as unvaccinated individuals "aren’t listening to God and what God wants."
The Democrat governor spoke Sunday at the Christian Cultural Center, an evangelical megachurch, The Western Journal reported.
The state's first female governor, who took office after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace amid sexual harassment allegations, said God had answered prayers about the pandemic.
"He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers — he made them come up with a vaccine," Hochul told the congregation. "That is from God to us, and we must say, 'Thank you, God.'"
Hochul addressed church members the day before New York's vaccine mandate for health care workers went into effect.
"I need you to be my apostles," Hochul told members both present and online. "Jesus taught us to love one another. And how do you show that love but to care about each other enough to say, 'Please get the vaccine because I love you and I want you to live.'"
The governor concluded her remarks by promising to "use the inspiration of God in my life and fight for you every single day as your governor and beyond" without quoting a single verse of Scripture, the Journal said.
Cuomo on Aug. 16 announced that all healthcare workers in the state needed to receive their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 27 or risk termination. There were "limited exceptions for those with religious or medical reasons."
New York’s Public Health and Health Planning Council approved an emergency regulation on Aug. 26 — two days after Hochul became governor — that completely removed the religious exemption but left the medical exemption in place.
A group of anonymous healthcare workers filed a lawsuit on Sept. 13 against the state, arguing that their constitutional rights were violated when New York issued a vaccination mandate with "no exemption for sincere religious beliefs."
The lawsuit said the 17 plaintiffs conscientiously objected to the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds because "they all employ fetal cell lines derived from procured abortion in testing, development or production of the vaccines."
A U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York then temporarily blocked the mandate for those seeking religious exemption. The New York Post reported a judge on Oct. 12 will decide "whether to make the preliminary injunction more permanent."
Hochul, a pro-abortion advocate from "a big Irish Catholic family," told The Associated Press that she's "not aware of any major religious group" that prohibits its followers from getting the vaccine
"Everyone from the pope on down is encouraging people to get vaccinated," she said.
Today we're talking to the subject of a somewhat viral video, Sherry Clemens. Sherry is attracting attention after a video of her speaking at a school board meeting, bringing attention to the sexually explicit material that was available for school kids to read in her kids' class. We'll discuss what her daughter showed her that led Sherry to go before the school board, as we also discuss "Social-Emotional Learning," a progressive activist program that is probably in your kids' school right now.

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
The Biden administration is preventing the rescue of persecuted Christian minorities from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, where they face certain and likely gruesome death.
This information surfaced on August 26, 2021, during an interview between Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson on Fox News. Through his charity, the Nazarene Fund, Beck had managed to charter planes to airlift 5,100 Christians out of Afghanistan and into neighboring nations. Before long, however, U.S. officials intervened and prevented the escape of a batch of 500 Christians, mostly women and children, who were ordered outside of the airport’s protection zone: “I have pictures of them pleading to get back through the gate,” Beck continued:
And then I have pictures of blood and body parts and nothing but death in that same area [where they were confined]. We believe that our State Department is directly responsible… I don’t know how many [of these 500 Christians] survived. The State Department has blocked us every step of the way. The State Department and the White House have been the biggest problem. Everyone else, everyone else, has been working together, putting aside differences and trying to get these people to safety. The State Department and the White House have blocked us every single step of the way. In fact, an ambassador was called in Macedonia last night and told not to accept any of these people, as we were trying to get them off of the tarmac here, to keep the airport flowing, and getting these Christians out. We haven’t really been able to move anybody for about 12 hours. Our mission is now changing greatly. We have to send people into even greater danger to try to smuggle these Christians out, who are marked not just for death, but to be set on fire alive because they’re converted Christians.
Beck, it should be noted, is not exaggerating. According to one recent report, “Taliban militants are even pulling people off public transport and killing them on the spot if they're Christians.” Similarly, any Afghan caught with a Bible app on their phone is executed. “How we survive daily only God knows,” a Christian Afghani said earlier this year on condition of anonymity. “But we are tired of all the death around us.”
According to the World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted for their faith, Afghanistan is the worst Muslim nation in the world in which to be Christian. This is saying much, considering that nearly 80 percent of all persecution Christians experience around the globe is committed by Muslims and/or in the Islamic world. Afghanistan is, moreover, considered the second-worst nation in the entire world, just after North Korea:
It is impossible to live openly as a Christian in Afghanistan. Leaving Islam is considered shameful, and Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered. Either they have to flee the country or they will be killed…. Afghanistan remains the second highest country on the World Watch List, and persecution is only very slightly less oppressive than in North Korea. The Islamic State group and the Taliban continue to have a strong, violent presence in Afghanistan, with the Taliban controlling large regions…. All Christians in Afghanistan are extremely vulnerable to persecution. Areas controlled by the Taliban are particularly oppressive, but there is no safe way to express any form of Christian faith in the country.
The above excerpt was published nine months ago—when a U.S.-supported government ran Afghanistan. Since then, matters have only significantly worsened for Christians, now that the Taliban—whose views and modus operandi is similar to ISIS—has become the official master of Afghanistan.
Ironically, while Afghanistan was always bad for Christians, it became significantly worse in direct response to U.S. intervention Because in many non-Christian majority countries, Christians tend to be conflated with the West in general, and America in particular—based on the popular but erroneous belief in the Muslim world that the West and America are Christian—Afghan Christians were especially targeted after the 2001 U.S. invasion as a form of “collective punishment.”
Indeed, even Christians in neighboring Pakistan got attacked; according a 2011 report:
Life on any given day for Pakistani Christians is difficult. But members of Pakistan’s Christian community say now they’re being persecuted for U.S. drone attacks on Islamic militants hiding on the border with Afghanistan. The minority, which accounts for an estimated one percent of the country’s 170 million [mostly Muslim] population, says because its faith is strongly associated with America, it is targeted by Muslims.
“When America does a drone strike, they come and blame us,” explained one Christian. “They think we belong to America. It’s a simple mentality.”
On the other hand, because U.S. and Western leadership are very careful not to show interest in Christian minorities—a sentiment that goes hand in hand with Western acquiescence to Islamic sensibilities—they are more prone to turn a blind eye to the persecution of Christians than even some Muslim governments.
Worst of all, not only has the U.S. exacerbated and then totally ignored the plight of Christians in Afghanistan, it is now going out of its way to prevent others, as noted by Beck, from helping to evacuate Christians to other nations willing to accept them.
Beck, it should be noted, is not alone in his accusation: “I’ve heard similar reports,” said Senator Tom Cotton:
I know that our people on the ground inside the airport, both the Department of Defense and intelligence agents and our State Department officials are trying to move heaven and Earth to get people into the airport and out of the country, but the senior leadership at the State Department is a different kettle of fish.
At one point in his interview with Carlson, Beck mentioned two nations that were being cooperative in helping him rescue Christians—though he was anxious to add, “I don’t even want to say who they are, because I’m afraid our State Department will call them and threaten them!”
“I don't know why we have open borders and closed airports,” Beck concluded his interview. While it is easy for all sorts of illegals to cross over the porous US/Mexico border, “one group of people”— he said referring to persecuted Christians—is not even allowed to enter airports, and are abandoned to be “raped, exploited and crucified or set on fire by terrorists,” said Beck, before adding, “There seems to be a pattern with the Biden administration.”
In fact, this is a pattern begun by the Obama administration. Biden—who it bears recalling was for eight years Obama’s vice president—is merely continuing it. Under Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency, the White House and State Department engaged in all sorts discriminatory measures against Christians, particularly during the refugee crisis that occurred during the rise of ISIS under Obama’s watch.
The Obama administration's discrimination against Christians was so obvious, in fact, that in late 2016, a federal appellate court filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, in which Judge Daniel expressed his “concern about the apparent lack of Syrian Christians as a part of immigrants from that country”:
Perhaps 10 percent of the population of Syria is Christian, and yet less than one-half of one percent of Syrian refugees admitted to the United States this year are Christian.... To date, there has not been a good explanation for this perplexing discrepancy.
The numbers were even more perplexing when examined in full context. Although the U.S. government had acknowledged that ISIS was committing genocide against Christians in Syria due solely to their religious identity, it brought into the United States only those who by definition were not in any way being targeted by ISIS — Sunni Muslims, of whom ISIS, a Sunni organization, identifies with and does not attack. Despite these two all-important facts — and despite the fact that Sunnis were about 75% of Syria's population, and Christians about 10% — 99% of those brought to America were Sunni Muslims and under 0.5% were Christian. As CNS news noted in 2016, “Record 499 Syrian Refugees Admitted to US So Far in May Includes No Christians.”
In other words, even if one were to operate under the assumption that refugee status should have been made available to all Syrians, regardless of who was and was not being persecuted, there should have been 20 times more Christians and about one-quarter fewer Sunnis granted refugee status under Obama.
This, of course, leads to another pattern established by Obama and continued by Biden: while preventing true victims of Islamic terror from escape or entry into the US, the Biden administration is granting refugee status to countless, un-vetted male Muslims from Afghanistan—not a few of whom share in the same worldview as ISIS and the Taliban.

Little did CVS’s customers know until this week that each time they paid for a prescription at the pharmacy, they also paid for hourly employees to get a dose of Critical Race Theory.
The latest on corporate America’s surrender to leftist propaganda, from City Journal’s Chris Rufo, said the gargantuan of drug-store chains inoculated employees with “antiracist” training to “deconstruct their ‘privilege.’”
Among the privileges CVS seeks to deconstruct are celebrating Christmas and having easy-to-pronounce names. Indeed, employees aren’t just “privileged.” They are racist, and trained to be so since birth, and therefore must learn to speak differently.
Yet the lesson in Rufo report goes beyond just revealing another outrage. It shows just how deeply leftist ideology has penetrated the boardrooms of major corporations. Average Americans buy their products, only to learn that corporate executives think their underpaid employees are privileged racists.
“Soaked” In Racism
Of course, the company turned to anti-white CRT peddler Ibram Kendi, “who told 25,000 CVS employees that ‘to be born in [the United States] is to literally have racist ideas rain on our head consistently and constantly,’” Rufo reported:
Kendi argued that Americans are “walking through society completely soaked in racist ideas,” including children as young as two to three years old. “Our kids are basically functioning on racist ideas, choosing who to play with based on the kid’s skin color,” Kendi said. The solution, in part, is to “diagnose” employees as “racist” in order to help them become “antiracist” and “stop hurting somebody else.”
But the hate program didn’t stop there.
It also included material on “intersectionality” with which employees are ordered “to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their ‘privilege.’”
“The training asked CVS employees to circle their identities — including race, gender, sexuality, and religion — and then reflect on their “privilege” during the discussion,” Rufo divulged:
Examples of privilege, according to a checklist, included “celebrat[ing] Christmas,” “hav[ing] a name that is easy to pronounce,” “feel[ing] safe in your neighborhood at night,” and “feel[ing] confident in my leadership style.”
Employees also had to learn not to use “‘problematic phrases,’ including ‘I’m colorblind,’ ‘I grew up poor,’ ‘peanut gallery,’ ‘I’m not racist,’ and ‘we must stand up for minorities’” because all those statements are racist in and of themselves and “could be seen as discrediting the experiences of Black people and their culture.”
Plutocrat Merlo
Even worse than the program might be the person who foisted on the captive workers.
The recently retired Merlo, Rufo observed, is another of the corporate plutocrats who calls hourly schlubs “privileged” as he rakes in tens of millions of dollars in salaries and benefits. He earned 618 times what the average CVS worker earned.
He “was called ‘the most obscenely overpaid CEO in America,’” Rufo wrote. Total annual compensation: $22 million. The average CVS employee earned $35,529.
Understandably, employees aren’t all that happy with the hate-whitey program. “I have worked at CVS a long time, and we have never had a problem with discrimination or division,” one told Rufo. “Quite the opposite: people of diverse backgrounds always have pulled together to solve complex problems.”
Though Merlo is gone, the company’s corporate bureaucrats are still forcing the toxic snake oil down the throats of employees. Those who object will face ““swift action against non-inclusive behaviors.”
Other Woke Companies
CVS’s employees are just the latest alienated workers who have turned to Rufo with insider documents.
Google tells its already-woke workforce that the United States is based upon a “system of white supremacy” and that Americans are “raised to be racist.” Google too sought Kendi’s anti-white opinions, which include that one is a racist, he says, is racist itself.
Raytheon, the defense contractor, has spread Kendi’s poison to its employees. They received detailed instructions on “What Not To Say to Your Black Colleagues Right Now.”
Raytheon even created “resource groups” to segregate employees. The collectives include “RayPride” for homosexuals, RayBen, the black employees' network, and other fringe groups for Asian, Hispanics, Indians, and women.
Whites, men, and Christians enjoy no such privilege at the company.

If one of those fabled white supremacist terrorists that Biden’s handlers keep telling us are the biggest terror threat in America today had been caught plotting to bomb a mosque, you can bet you would have heard about it. But the news Thursday that a Muslim named Mustafa Mousab Alowemer pleaded guilty to a jihad plot to bomb a Pittsburgh church, the Legacy International Worship Center, got little notice. That’s no surprise: the story doesn’t fit the narrative of either Biden’s handlers or the establishment media, which is that there is no significant jihad terror threat, and a much bigger problem is the “Islamophobia” of Trump’s bloodthirsty MAGA legions. Back in the real world, the guilty plea is a small reminder of what the real threat really is.
There is another reason why both the administration and the media would rather have this story go away, amid the chaos at the Southern border and just after the catastrophe in Afghanistan: Alowemer, 23, came to the United States from Syria as a refugee when he was 18. Yet he doesn’t exactly fit the image of a grateful refugee, eager to become a part of our glorious multicultural mosaic. He told investigators, according to the criminal complaint against him, that “his motivation to detonate a device at the Church was to support the cause of ISIS and to inspire other ISIS sympathizers in the United States to join together and commit similar acts in the name of ISIS.” He added that he “also targeted the Church, which he described as Christian and Nigerian, in order to ‘take revenge for our [ISIS] brothers in Nigeria.’” Christians are suffering fierce persecution from Muslims in Nigeria, but as far as Alowemer was concerned, this meant only that they were infidels at war with Allah, and he thirsted for revenge.
The young jihadi wanted to maximize the casualty count. The Associated Press reported that Alowemer had “detailed plans” to bomb the church, including a particularly cruel touch: “Federal prosecutors said at the plea hearing that he talked about potentially planting a second explosive device, timing the detonation to coincide with when first responders would begin to arrive.”
The criminal complaint also inadvertently reveals the cluelessness of the FBI regarding the beliefs, motives, and goals of Islamic jihadists. It states:
In or around April 2018, the FBI identified a social networking account with display name “Mustafa Alowemer” as likely belonging to Alowemer. Notably, the “Intro” section of the social networking account included a phrase in Arabic text that an FBI linguist translated as “hoping to Allah that he dies in a way that does not require the traditional funeral cleansing and burial rituals.” This same FBI linguist interpreted this statement to mean that Alowemer wanted to die by being blown up, which would render traditional Islamic funeral rituals unnecessary or impossible.
Well, yes, but the FBI linguist seems to have omitted the key point: In a tradition, Muhammad ordered that the bodies of the martyrs are not to be washed, as the blood and gore with which they may be covered is attractive to the virgins of paradise. Alowemer didn’t necessarily have to be blown up, but simply to die in the process of killing infidels, as the Qur’an promises paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). If Alowemer had succeeded in mounting his attack and the FBI was there expecting him to try to blow himself up, they could have been completely wrongfooted.
Anyway, Alowemer was forthright in this social media account about his desire to wage jihad. He wrote: “Indeed, I ask Allah to relief [sic] us and grant us Nafir,” that is, the ability to answer the call to wage jihad. He considered doing so outside the country, at one point asking: “If I want to do Nafir to Turkey and then to Syria or Iraq, do you know someone who can help me?” But ultimately he decided to stage his jihad right in the country that had welcomed him and showered benefits upon him to enable him to start a new life far from a war zone.
Now that Alowemer has pleaded guilty, will investigators go on to other cases, or will they try to determine where Mustafa Mousab Alowemer learned his understanding of Islam? Where did he get the idea that it would be a good idea to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not?
And above all, will Biden’s handlers consider the implications of a young jihadi targeting Christians in the United States for murder after coming here as a refugee? Will they redouble their efforts to vet the Afghan evacuees and other refugees properly, and make new efforts to ensure that no jihadis will enter the country? Don’t be silly. That would be “Islamophobic.”
