Couple Harris's record as the most progressive Senator in Congress with her embrace of radical Muslim haters and anti-Semites, add to that a man who's spent months pandering to that same community and stood by Obama's eight years of demonization of Israel and we have a problem for American Jews and the U.S./Israel relationship.
Biden, Harris shared forum with organizations reportedly linked to slaughter of Jews
According to Joe Biden, it was not the economy, health care, or national security that drove him to run for president. It was anti-Semitism. Repeating a tall tale he hopes to get away with, he declared in his acceptance speech:
Remember seeing those neo-Nazis and Klansmen and white supremacists coming out of the fields with lighted torches? Veins bulging? Spewing the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the '30s?
Remember the violent clash that ensued between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it?
Remember what the president said?
There[sic] were quote, "very fine people on both sides."
It was a wake-up call for us as a country.
And for me, a call to action. At that moment, I knew I'd have to run...
Almost identically, when Sen. Kamala Harris launched her presidential campaign in early 2019, she:
...lashed out at President Donald Trump for “fueling division,” including on anti-Semitism.
“Racism is real in America, sexism, antisemitism, transphobia, homophobia — these things exist in America,” Harris said... “We have seen when Charlottesville and a woman was killed that we’ve had a president who basically said, well, there were equal sides to this,”...
Yet, in a scandal that's hiding in plain sight, Biden and Harris themselves have shared a forum with representatives of groups reportedly linked to deadly violence against Jews in Israel. And in dramatic contrast, they've snubbed Israel and its supporters.
Harris boycotted the 2020 American-Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, along with fellow candidates who understood that the party was turning against Israel, and that associating with its supporters might hurt her with the Democratic base.
Yet, as a presidential hopeful, she addressed the 2018 Netroots Nation convention in New Orleans, where her fellow speakers included an official of a radical anti-Israel organization that allegedly assists in the slaughter of innocent Jewish men, women, and children by funding Palestinian terror gangs.
Leah Muskin-Pierret addressed the convention's Democratic activists on behalf of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), which has funneled money to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to a Tablet magazine expose two months before the conventiion.
The Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund and American victims of terror are suing the USCPR, based on the Tablet investigative report.
The Jewish Journal reported that the USCPR “has also celebrated convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh...” Odeh was convicted of the bombing murder of Hebrew University students Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner in 1969, an atrocity reminiscent of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four African-American girls attending Sunday school.
The USCPR was not the only allegedly terror-linked group at the convention. As the Zionist Organization of America noted, the Progressives for Palestinian Rights panel was “run by leaders of the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR, an unindicted conspirator named in the Holy Land Foundation trial for funneling money to HAMAS), and other radical anti-Israel groups.” CAIR has also rallied in support of double murderer Rasmea Odeh.
The ZOA reported that at the convention, Harris' fellow speaker Zahra Billoo, the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, San Francisco Bay Area (CAIR-SFBA) office, “jokingly commented that she participated in 'all the terrorist orgs you could imagine!'...”
Senate colleagues of Harris have noted Billoo's organization's ties to terrorists. Sen. Richard Durbin said CAIR “is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect.” Sen. Chuck Schumer said its co-founders have “intimate links with Hamas.” and that “we know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism.”
CAIR's Billoo has tweeted:
--”No need for a holocaust museum, seeing as Israel has taken it upon itself to recreate it. #Israel #Nazis."
“‘Israel ‘defending’ itself from Palestinians is analogous to Nazi Germany defending itself from Jewish uprising.’"--“Blaming Hamas for firing rockets at [Apartheid] Israel is like blaming a woman for punching her rapist. #FreePalestine.
--”AH [Alhamdulillah - Praise God] for Hezbollah having the courage to do what the Arab governments won't!"
-- “Will we hunt down and kill the IDF terrorists.”
--‘Zionism is the violent ideology responsible for the genocide and displacement of indigenous Palestinians and the destruction of Palestinian land.”
--“Israel commits war crimes and terrorism as a hobby.”
Billoo also spoke at Netroots Nation four years earlier in Detroit, a few minutes after Vice President Biden delivered a keynote address.
Another of Biden's 2014 Netroots Nation fellow speakers was Max Berger of the anti-Israel extremist organization IfNotNow. Berger had his own troubling trail of tweets:
--“What Israel is doing in Gaza should be familiar to Jews. It's called a pogrom. You'd think Jews would be against those. #Shanda #NotInMyName.”
--“Sometimes I feel the biggest obstacle to peace in Israel-Palestine is the bigotry of American Jews.”
--“I support BDS because ultimately it's the only way to stop the occupation...”
--“Confession: I would totally be friends with Hamas.”
The ZOA's Morton A. Klein and Mark Levenson noted that Berger's organization:
...trains camp counselors to infiltrate Jewish summer camps to teach little Jewish children the lie that Israel is an evil occupier of “Palestinian” lands and to turn Jewish children against Israel.
Max Berger also reportedly was affiliated with Dream Defenders, whose long string of anti-Jewish anti-Israel activities include lauding as heroes the designated foreign terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and bringing people to meet with PFLP leaders and PFLP front group Addameer...
And, just as Harris boycotted AIPAC after palling around with officials of terror-affiliated groups, Biden would go on to display the same double standard. The year after his Netroots Nation keynote, in his role as president of the Senate, Biden refused to be in the same room as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, boycotting his address to a joint session of Congress regarding the Iran nuclear deal. A mere eight of 100 senators joined him in the boycott.
In repeating falsehoods that smear Trump as a racist and supporter of murderous anti-Semites, Harris and Biden appear to be projecting their own coziness with terror-promoting bigots onto the president.
The media has been silent about this under-the-radar scandal. But imagine the reaction if it were Trump or Vice President Pence addressing a Republican activist convention where fellow speakers represent organizations that reportedly funnel money to facilitate the mass murder of Jews, African-Americans, or any other historically persecuted minority group.
Edward Davis is the author of Netroots Nation and the Democrats' War on Israel.
Heaven help us all if that
happens.
Couple Harris's record as the
most progressive Senator in Congress with her embrace of radical Muslim haters
and anti-Semites, add to that a man who's spent months pandering to that same
community and stood by Obama's eight years of demonization of Israel and we
have a problem for American Jews and the U.S./Israel relationship.
The
get-out-the-vote message includes clips of Biden promising that "I'll be a
president who seeks out and listens to and incorporates the ideas and concerns
of Muslim Americans on every day issues that matter most to our
communities. That will include having Muslim American voices as part
of my administration." No surprise there, since that would be
in keeping with his partner in crime, Barack Obama, who grew up on the
teachings of the hadith, enjoyed quoting from the
Koran himself, and welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood into his White House, all
while inserting daylight into the U.S.-Israel relationship and empowering the
world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, aiding Iran's path to a nuclear
weapon.
Biden/Harris: Muslim American voices matter
On July 20, Joe
Biden spoke on video to the Million Muslim Votes Summit during
which he promised to "end the Muslim ban on day one; day
one." Biden was referring to the Trump administration's policy,
based on national security considerations, of banning entry to the U.S. of
citizens of a limited number of Muslim countries that harbor terrorists or
support terrorism, or both. Biden made this promise notwithstanding
the national security implications and despite the Supreme Court's decision
upholding the constitutionality of Trump's policy.
Pandering to his
Muslim audience, Biden quoted from a hadith from the "Prophet
Mohammed" as he pronounced that "Muslim American Voices
Matter!" Interestingly, no one attacked Biden for making that
non–politically correct comment since, supposedly, only Black Lives Matter in
the U.S. today. Sadly, in the year 2020, when one suggests that all
lives matter, blue lives matter, or any other lives matter, he is immediately
canceled by the social justice warriors in powerful positions across the
Democrat portion of government, academia, the media, and corporate America.
Lucky for Joe,
savior of the Democrat Party, progressive far leftists, and Muslim
anti-Semites, he was given a pass for elevating Muslim Americans to a stature
previously preserved solely for blacks. Apparently, however, the
rest of us, including the American Jewish community, remain relegated to being
labeled racists, white supremacists, and Islamophobes undeserving of having our
lives matter.
Shortly after
Biden's remarks at the Summit, Voice of America's Urdu language service
released a pro-Biden video advertisement that has
recently resurfaced.
I'll be a president who seeks out and listens to and incorporates
the ideas and concerns of Muslim Americans on every day issues that matter most
to our communities. That will include having Muslim-American voices as part of
my administration.

Koran himself, and welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood into his White House, all
while inserting daylight into the U.S.-Israel relationship and empowering the
world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, aiding Iran's path to a nuclear
weapon.
Biden has
consistently promised to rejoin the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal, from which
President Trump wisely withdrew. While Trump's Middle East policies
and strong support of Israel led to the Abraham Accords pursuant to which the
UAE and Bahrain have established peace and normalization agreements with Israel
— the first time Arab countries have done so since 1994 — with additional Gulf
Arab states likely following suit in the near future, Biden's foreign policy mistakes
over the course of four decades are well known. As former Obama
secretary of defense Robert Gates noted in his
memoir and has repeated, Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major
foreign policy and national security issue over the past four
decades."
So what makes
Americans think the second-in-command of an administration that embraced Iran's
terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American mullahs while turning his back on Israel
will not continue where Obama left off — with the dangerously anti-Israel U.N.
Resolution 2334, which, in an unprecedented move, the Obama/Biden
administration refused to veto. You know what they say about the definition of insanity.
The VOA
pro-Biden ad also promises Muslim Americans that "2020 is our year"
and plays "we got the power" while displaying images of Muslim
anti-Semites including Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib and Bernie Sanders
surrogate and well known anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.
To be clear,
these wretched, hate-filled women, embraced by the Democrat Party, are being
elevated by the likes of Nancy Pelosi (who even endorsed them in their
campaigns for re-election) as well as other party leaders including Biden and
Sanders. I have written about the Democrats' Israel problem, but it's
clear that as the "Squad" grows (Eliot Engel will be replaced by a
radical socialist, for example), these haters will become the face of Democrats
in the coming years.
Biden not only
appeared on a conference call with the
Farrakhan, BDS-supporting Sarsour over the summer, where he rallied against
"Islamicphobia" (a typical Biden gaffe) and lamented that he wished
"we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith," but also
allowed Sarsour to speak at the Democratic National
Convention. After denouncing Sarsour's hateful remarks after the
convention, he pusillanimously walked that back and apologized to Muslim
Democrats lest he lose the radical Muslim vote. As Sarsour stated, "the
Democratic Party needs me and the communities that I come from more than we
need them."
Biden certainly
is not a man of principles, but again, this is not surprising, since Democratic
presidential nominee Obama pulled a similar stunt in 2008 promising the 15,000
Jews in attendance at the AIPAC Policy Conference that Jerusalem would remain
undivided, only to reverse course immediately thereafter in the face of
Palestinian criticism. And we know what he wrought on Israel during
the next eight years. Say what you will about Trump, but he keeps
his promises, and he never apologizes for the truth. Beware of those
who do.
The obsession
with Muslim Americans on the left is misguided at best, but more likely a
disingenuous campaign tactic. On the Sarsour conference call Biden repeated the
propaganda that "Under [the Trump] administration, we've seen an
unconscionable, an unconscionable rise in Islamicphobia and incidents including
kids being bullied in schools and hate crimes in our communities." This is
a lie – FBI hate crime statistics for years reflect that Jews by far suffer
from the greatest number of hate-crimes in the U.S. I have yet to hear Biden emphatically
denounce the actual bullying and hate crimes in that community.
In fact, in yet
one more virtue signaling stunt, Biden recently met with the father
of Jacob Blake killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin, despite the fact that Blake posted
numerous anti-Semitic posts on Facebook while praising Farrakhan. And I have
yet to hear Biden denounce the anti-Semitism in the BLM movement and pervasive
across the protests roiling our streets, instead giving it a front and center
platform at the DNC. He furthermore refuses to recognize Antifa and its hate as
a danger to the country let alone denounce its violence.
We always hear
about Trump's white supremacist supporters – supporters he denounces over and
over again – and yet when Biden actually embraces, appears with, and promotes
racists, radio silence from the left and within the ranks of the Democrat Party
who do the same. We also never hear praise from anyone on the left for Trump
keeping every single one of his campaign promises including all of those
pertaining to Israel and fighting anti-Semitism and yet when Biden (and Obama)
flip flop on faux promises, they get a complete pass from the left and Jewish
Americans.
Lest anyone
think that Biden's running mate Kamala Harris will be any better, she too
panders to and embraces the Muslim community without hesitation. The Zionist
Organization of America recently called on Harris
to denounce the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization she
endorsed in prior years. Notwithstanding the fact that CAIR was an unindicted
co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, one of the country's largest
terrorism-funding cases, Harris, "expressed her gratitude and admiration
for [CAIR's] tireless work to promote peace, justice, and mutual
understanding."
As ZOA pointed
out, "according to CAIR's California Chapter's 2020 voting guide, Harris voted
in-line with CAIR's positions on nine of ten legislative items highlighted in
the guide" and "according to a profile on Harris at ivoterguide.com, CAIR rated
Harris at 100% for 2017-2018. Harris supports reentering the JCPOA, voted no on
anti-BDS legislation, and refused to denounce Omar's anti-Semitism
feigning concern that doing
so "may put her at risk."
Couple
Harris's record as the most progressive Senator in Congress with her embrace of
radical Muslim haters and anti-Semites, add to that a man who's spent months
pandering to that same community and stood by Obama's eight years of
demonization of Israel and we have a problem for American Jews and the
U.S./Israel relationship. But hey, in the minds of the Democrats embracing the
Biden/Harris ticket, Black Lives Matter and Muslim American Voices Matter, the
rest of us, not so much. If Biden wins, no one should be surprised when the
policies emanating from his administration reflect that from education and the
economy to foreign policy and law enforcement. Heaven help us
all if that happens.

A Radical
Shift
The
nightmare Obama brought to U.S. foreign policy.
Thu Oct 15, 2020
Editors' note: Walid Phares has a new book out on the difference
in foreign policy between Obama and Trump titled: The Choice: Trump vs. Obama-Biden in
US Foreign Policy. Below is an exclusive excerpt
- Chapter 3 - which illustrates the nightmare that Obama brought to U.S.
foreign policy.
Soon
after landing in the White House, President Obama initiated two major moves,
which by the end of May or early June 2009 indicated where his administration
was going in terms of national security and foreign policy. It was obvious to
me at the time that the country was veering away from the post-9/11 posture and
the so-called War on Terror and heading in the opposite direction of
demobilization of America on the one hand and the activation of an apologist
policy on the other in order to engage with future partners who were actually
at the core of terrorism and extremism.
Most
Americans in the early years of the Obama administration focused on the
domestic agenda and therefore did not see or understand the much wider change
of direction that the new team at the White House was implementing: the
eventual dismantling of the War on Terror and with it the war of ideas. In
other words, the Obama doctrine was telling Americans that our conflict with
the radicals overseas was in error because the conflict was caused by us—and
therefore we need not only to cease our efforts of resistance against the
jihadists, Iran, and the other radicals but jump on a train going in the other
direction, one that would lead us to engaging the foes and finding agreement
with each of them in order to transform American policy overseas.
The
first major benchmark that indicated a massive Obama-Biden change in foreign
policy with implications on national security was Obama’s trip to Egypt in
spring 2009 and his address at Cairo University. The main idea of President
Obama on the political philosophy level was to inform the American public that
the United States has been seen as an aggressor against Arabs and Muslims since
9/11—maybe even decades before that. This perception prevailed on U.S. campuses
for decades among leftist academics and intellectuals. It was explained as the
American branch of Western colonialism. But the urgency behind this U-turn made
by the administration in foreign policy perception was in fact linked to how
the United States reacted to the 9/11 attacks.
In
my own experiences after the 2001 jihadist strikes against New York, D.C., and
elsewhere, the immediate reaction after al-Qaeda suicide missions on
American soil was explained by a combination of Far Left and neo-Marxist
circles actually accusing the United States of provoking the attacks. During the
seven years of the Bush administration, both the Islamist lobbies and their Red
allies in America were organizing to oppose any form of American self-defense
and thus did oppose both the war in Afghanistan and the one in Iraq while also
framing them as neocolonialist conquests.
It
was imperative for the Obama team to change the national security doctrine that
had been approved by a unanimous and bipartisan 9/11 Commission to align with
their own narrative. The reality was that for years, before the Obama victory
in 2008, a new alliance was being forged between the Islamists in general (the
Muslim Brotherhood and the Khomeinist Iranians in particular) and the core
left-wing neo-Marxists within the West in general (and the United States in
particular). The Obama group belonged to that core—a subset found mostly on
campuses but also in parts of the media.
With
the alliance already in place, it made sense for the new administration to
unleash its plans as early as possible. Hence, Obama’s 2009 address in Cairo
was essentially an open invitation through public acknowledgment of his desire
for a partnership between his administration and the Muslim Brotherhood. Though
Egypt was ruled by authoritarian President Mubarak, Obama’s visit and his
praise of the Ikhwan talking points were the opening salvo of a campaign
designed to crumble the Egyptian regime and, later, other Arab governments—and
replace them with the Brotherhood. The genesis of the Islamization of the Arab
Spring of 2011 thus started in 2009.
The
Obama speech at Cairo University, in fact, officialized a partnership between
the United States and the Muslim Brotherhood, and in general terms with the
Islamist movements in the MENA region. One might think that such a move
would be checked by the mainstream Republican Party in D.C., but it was not—due
to the equal impact of the Qatar and Islamist lobbies on the Republican
institution. It did, however, unnerve the conservative sectors of the
Republicans both in Congress and in the grassroots while also putting pressure
on the traditional liberals in the Democratic Party after the ilk of Joe Lieberman
and others.
The
major shift towards engaging the Islamists worldwide also opened the door
for partnerships with their lobbies and NGOs inside the United States. This led
to an unstoppable rise of influence of militant groups such as CAIR (Council on
American-Islamic Relations), which in turn became the spearhead of a campaign
to silence the critics against Obama’s new policies in Congress and in the
media.
But
a shift to align with the Muslim Brotherhood was not the only onslaught of the
Obama administration in foreign policy; it was simply the first
one. Indeed, in the same month of June 2009, President Obama engaged in a
second track that would change another U.S. national security policy, one that
was established in the early 1980s: the containment of the Islamic Republic of
Iran.
In
early June 2009, President Barack Obama addressed a letter to the Grand
Ayatollah of Iran, Imam Ali Khamenei, calling on him to begin a new era of
cooperation between Tehran and Washington. That letter, which was as apologist
as the speech to the Muslim Brotherhood weeks earlier in Cairo, signaled the
beginning of a long process that would lead to the negotiation and signing of
the Iran nuclear deal in 2015. But June 2009 had one more surprise that
revealed a third shocking policy shift, one that would divert the country from
its longstanding tradition of helping nations facing oppression and seeking
freedom.
Indeed,
America, in one century—between the First World War, the Second World War, and
the collapse of the Soviet Union—had demonstrated its commitment, through blood
and treasure, to stand by peoples on many continents as they had been
brutalized and oppressed—from Europe and the Middle East to Asia and Latin
America. But the events in Iran at the end of June 2009 signaled a drastic
third policy change. Millions of Iranians, including many women, took to the
streets to protest the suppression by the regime. Many of these protesters held
signs in English—one of which called on President Obama by name to help them.
Yet to reaffirm that the U.S. would not “meddle” in Iranian politics or stand
with the democratic revolution in Iran, a second letter was sent to Khamenei on
September 3.
The
abandonment by the Obama administration of the Green Revolution in Iran was the
benchmark that told me that the American policy of supporting freedom fighters
and people’s uprisings against totalitarian governments, the praise for
dissidents, and the backing of free societies around the world had ended.
2009
was the year that broke the backbone of post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy and
rebuilt it into a radical approach inconsistent with the feelings and
perceptions of the majority of Americans. Yet most Americans were not informed
and educated enough, particularly by their academia and media, to correct such
radicalization of policy via their members of Congress—or to elect a new
president who would change directions one more time to align policy to once
again be consistent with U.S. national security and traditional American liberty
principles.
Fears for the Future
Both
the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon in 2005 and the Green Revolution in Iran in
2009 provided indications that peoples in the region had reached critical mass
in regard to their tolerance for authoritarians and would eventually protest
and demand change. Social media has also evolved and has become much more
accessible by ordinary people. In my book The Coming Revolution, I predicted that
most countries in the Arab world were going to witness social and political
unrests, results I had been waiting for, for many years, to push back against
the extremists.
I
briefed many members of Congress during that same period of time and convinced
them that there were authentic forces of change in the region, including
seculars, women, and minorities, and that the United States should immediately
partner with them as the authoritarian leaders were going down—and fighting a
lost battle to support ailing dictators would not be the right battle for the
United States.
My
concern was that the moment would be squandered as the Obama administration was
racing to connect with the Islamists and the Iranians in the region and thus
diverting the resources of the U.S. government to the wrong factions instead of
helping civil society forces. I observed how the lobbies of our traditional
foes were moving with great speed at all levels within the bureaucracies and
the administration. I was also receiving many complaints from Middle East
human rights and minorities groups that officials and governments were no
longer engaging them like the Bush administration had tried to do. In addition,
members of Congress in the Republican opposition (who won the majority in the
U.S. House of Representatives in 2010) were sharing their fears that the
administration had abandoned our allies in the region, not just allies among
Middle East minorities, but also Israel. So by the end of 2009, early 2010, I
could see the whole picture, and it was a dark and dire one.

South Florida ‘ISIS’ Imam: 'Jews Behind All Corruption in the Earth'
Fadi Kablawi spews venom against Jews, Hindus, Christians, gays and fellow Muslims.
Joe Kaufman, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative and the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23).
Fadi Kablawi (Qablawi), head imam of the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC) and FBI ‘person of interest,’ is a radical Muslim’s radical. His targets comprise of Jews, Christians, homosexuals, women, Hindus and Muslims, even his fellow radical Muslims. This past July, he made the claim that Jews are behind all the corruption on Earth. He did so, during one of his Friday khutbas (sermons), in front of his congregation, which includes young and impressionable children. At times, he draws large crowds. Will Kablawi’s dangerous rhetoric drive one or more of his followers to commit acts of violence? Has it already?
Fadi Yousef Kablawi, a.k.a. Abu Ubeidah, was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1978. At the age of 17, he moved to the US with his family. After finishing high school, Kablawi attended Florida International University (FIU) for his undergraduate studies and completed his doctoral degree in dental medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania, in 2005. Working alongside his wife, he had a thriving Miami dentistry, until August 2017, when he was arrested for allegedly using his business to overcharge his patients and commit Medicaid fraud. A video news report depicts a somber Kablawi handcuffed and sporting an orange jumpsuit, standing in front of Bond Court judge, Mindy Glazer, who happens to be Jewish.
Incorporated in September 2010, the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC), a.k.a. Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah, is the brainchild of Kablawi. In fact, the mosque’s colorful logo bears the name of Kablawi’s former corporation, al-Tayyib, which is as well the mosque’s website address, altayyib.com. A children’s school, Reviver Academy, shares the identical North Miami location of the mosque. According to Kablawi, he created the school in order to provide a pure and unfiltered form of Islam for the kids. Photos and video footage from the school show the children using the same area of the mosque where Kablawi emits his hate speech.
Kablawi is an equal opportunity offender, attacking all faiths, including his own, though Jews are by far his primary target. Last month, he told his congregants, “[A Muslim] doesn’t associate his behavior with an iman (faith). The Jews are different. They will use the iman, which is ‘We’re Jews,’ to justify every heinous thing they do.” Also last month, he stated, “You will find the most enemies to the believers are the Jews.” This past July, Kablawi told his congregation the following about Jews: “Look at the façade and the corruption in the Earth, today. You’ll find them behind it, in everything.”
Kablawi is not happy that some of his fellow Muslims are making peace with Israel. On September 15th, at the White House, historic peace agreements were signed between Israel, Bahrain and the UAE. On October 2nd, Kablawi told his audience, “Anything you sign as peace is nothing but selling out, is nothing but cowardice, is nothing but humiliation, is nothing but debasement.” On September 20th, he stated, “If anybody who brings this issue up… tell them brotherhood is stronger than cousinhood. When they abuse and kill our brothers… the Muslims in Palestine are brothers not cousins, and when my cousin kills my brother I will kill my cousin.”
Kablawi is also not friendly towards Muslims who side with Hindus wishing to resettle in the Indian state of Kashmir, following years of terror and dispossession at the hands of Islamists. In August 2019, he tweeted his own mini fatwa (religious ruling), stating, “Whoever allies himself, celebrates and honors the Hindus for what they have done to Muslims in Kashmir is an apostate, out of the fold of the religion of Muhammad…”
Kablawi likes vilifying Christians, too. Last month, he told his congregants, “[T]he Christians don’t think. They just follow whatever.” He said that Christians have a “hallucinating imagination.” He called Christianity “fake.” In January 2019, he told his congregation, “The Christian religion makes no sense… If you look at all the religions in the world, Christianity can compete for first place in stupidity.” This past July he stated, “Someone might ask, ‘Why are there a lot of Christians?’ There are lots of Christians, because their fitra (state of purity/innocence) got corrupted.”
Kablawi also hates gays with a passion. Last month, he railed against gay rights. He stated to his audience, “20 years or 30 years ago, talking to someone about the rights of homosexuals – crazy! God knows what there will be tomorrow… Maybe the straight ones will be the gay ones. We will be looked at as abnormal.” He referred to gays as “Sodomites.” In March 2019, Kablawi bizarrely attacked gays and Christians together, tweeting, “After long research, I think I finally discovered the virus responsible for LGBTQ disease… It is called the Church virus; most dangerous mutation of such virus is the Catholic one.” Kablawi has even attacked Islamist favorite Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and a leader from CAIR for cavorting with LGBT.
And when it comes to jihad, for Kablawi, there is only one primary meaning, and that is holy war. In July, he said, “[J]ihad is when you put your life on the line. Not the cute jihad, as they call everything ‘jihad’ today. A brother sent me a message, ‘This is the Real Jihad’… about coronavirus. This kid somewhere in Falastin. They stopped him from seeing his mother, at the hospital, who was infected with the virus. He would climb, every night, the walls of the hospital and sit next to the room of his mother… May Allah reward him for being righteous and dutiful to his mother. But that’s not the real jihad. Real jihad is not climbing walls. Real jihad is climbing over people’s necks and heads and skulls.”
This past July, hundreds of mosque goers packed Kablawi’s NMIC, as Kablawi stood in front leading prayers. No doubt, his type of no frills Islamic fundamentalism has attracted a significant segment of the Muslim community. One must therefore question how much of Kablawi’s extreme and bigoted rhetoric has his congregants taken to heart, and are they willing to act on it, meaning violently? One of his followers, Salman Rashid, this past December, was charged with soliciting ISIS to murder the deans of two South Florida colleges. And according to Kablawi, he himself is considered by the FBI to be a member of ISIS.
Fadi Kablawi is a danger and threat to society. The message that he sends to his congregation and all who watch and share his videos is one of hatred and violence. Kablawi believes that he is teaching the Islamic religion in the proper manner – one that is unfiltered and unapologetic – and that may very well be so. However, what Kablawi is doing, as well, is inspiring his followers and congregants, including very young and impressionable children, to retain this hatred and to potentially carry out the same type of jihad that Kablawi lauds and embraces.

Dodge the Real Reparations
How
about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?
Thu Oct 15, 2020
“As
a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to
thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and
bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic
institutions.”
That
was California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a September 30 signing
statement for Assembly Bill 3121 which
“establishes a nine-member task force to inform Californians about slavery and
explore ways the state might provide reparations.” For all its faults,
California was never part of the Confederacy, and Californians might wonder
about a stronger case for reparations from damages caused by the China virus.
Evidence
points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, recipient of funds from the U.S.
National Institutes of Health, which banned “gain of function”
research in 2014 because of danger that a manipulated virus might be
released into the population. The NIH revived the dangerous research in 2017
but kept it secret. The Wuhan Institute was an ideal place to hide gain of
function, and Anthony Fauci backed the lab with more than $7 million. Dr. Fauci
has been evasive about what, exactly, went on at Wuhan but there can be no
dispute about the aftermath.
The
China virus claimed more than 200,000 deaths in the United States alone and
touched three leaders of G7 nations: President Trump, British prime minister
Boris Johnson, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose wife Sophie tested
positive for the coronavirus in March. The economic damages are undeniable:
millions unemployed, businesses going bankrupt, mounting debt, and all the
social wreckage now on display.
President
Trump is on record that this was all “China’s fault,” and China is going to pay
“a big price” for what they’ve done to the United States and the world.
One U.S. state is already taking measures. In April, Missouri attorney general
Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the
enormous death, suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world,
including Missourians.” For Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat,
the Missouri lawsuit was the problem.
“We
launch a series of unknown events that could be very, very dangerous,” said
Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I think this
is a huge mistake.” And Feinstein had only praise for China, “as a country that
has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time”
and as “a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations. And I
deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the
issues.”
Indeed,
as Feinstein told James Areddy of
the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to
Shanghai, the San Francisco Democrat had been coming to the Communist nation
for 31 years. Feinstein compared Tiananmen Square to Kent State, and as Rosemarie Ho reported
in The Nation, Democrats in general and
Feinstein in particular ignored the Communist crackdown against Hong Kong.
As
the San
Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for
20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her
own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben
Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s
husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China
trade she supported.”
None
of this has touched off an investigation, which confirms that FBI favors for
Democrats go far beyond Hillary Clinton. A party that functions as a
cheerleader for China will not seek any reparations from China, or any other
entity that has inflicted vast damage on the United States.
On
September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists claimed nearly 3,000 American lives and
caused billions in damages. If that not a case for reparations, it is hard to
know what one would look like. Democrats made no case, and the president
formerly known as Barry Soetoro shipped billions in cash to Iran, the major
sponsor of terrorism in the world.
President
Trump pushed back on terrorism, taking out Iranian master terrorist Soleimani
and ISIS boss al-Baghdadi. Democrats were critical of these actions, and their
diversionary push for slavery reparations has no merit. Neither does Gov.
Newsom’s charge of “structural racism,” which as David Azerrad explains, lacks
proof on the historical, legislative, and even the subconscious level.
The
nation can only thrive, Gov. Newsom contends, “when every one of us has the
opportunity to thrive.” As it happens, the most powerful figure in recent
California history is the African American Willie Brown. The thriving assembly
speaker set up his girlfriend Kamala
Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her career all the way to
candidacy for what she has called a “Harris administration.”
Meanwhile,
old-money Democrats are grooming Gov. Newsom for a presidential run in 2024.
Should he succeed, the nation would never get reparations for terrorism or the
China virus. On the other hand, the entire nation would soon look like
California, whose rapid decline reminds Bill Maher of “Italy in the 70s or
something.” As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
