MUSLIM TERRORISM IN AMERICA - WHO IS REALLY ON THEIR SIDE? - “Of course, one of the main reasons the nation is now “divided, resentful and angry” is because race- baiting, Islamist, class warrior Barack Hussein Obama was president for eight long years." MATTHEW VADUM

"Americans watched so-called 'home grown' terrorists unleash multiple bombings in the city of London. Some in this country may have mistakenly believed that it could not happen here. Today we have chilling evidence that it is possible,” Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said.

The terror plot had been aimed at military targets, as well as a number of Los Angeles congregations, including, allegedly, the ultra-progressive B’nai David-Judea, which would have been struck by armed gunmen pushing their way inside and opening fire on Yom Kippur.

 

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

 

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.

How an Islamic Terror Sheikh Ended Up Selling Meth in Orange County

And why the authorities let it happen.

Mon Sep 7, 2020 

Daniel Greenfield

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

The end of what law enforcement had called the most imminent Islamic terrorist plot since September 11 came when Gregory Vernon Patterson left his cell phone behind at a gas station.

Patterson and his roommate, Levar Haley Washington, had joined Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, a prison Islamic terror group, and had been conducting a robbery spree to finance terror plots against the LAX airport, the National Guard, and local synagogues during the High Holy days.

The shotgun robberies by the organization, whose name meant the Association of True Islam, were going well. The gang of criminal Jihadis had pulled off eleven gas station robberies in LA and Orange County to raise funds for their terror spree until Patterson dropped his phone during a robbery at a gas station in Torrance. The phone led authorities to the South Central apartment being used by Patterson and Washington where they found Bin Laden posters and a target list.

The target list included LAX which was convenient because Patterson already worked there.

Washington and Patterson were busted while trying to rob another gas station in Fullerton.

Patterson told cops that robbing gas stations was “part of a jihad against the U.S., particularly against American oil companies who are stealing from our countries” and that he wanted to die for Allah. The gas station robberies had been meant to raise money to buy weapons and to provide training to Patterson, who had no criminal record, in how to be a terrorist.

Patterson and Hammad Riaz Samana, a Pakistani, had all attended the Jamaat-E-Masijudal mosque where Washington had recruited the black convert and the Pakistani Muslim. The two terrorists swore allegiance to Washington and the shotgun robberies of gas stations began.

Washington, a former Crip, had done time in Folsom State Prison where he found a copy of the Koran, began calling himself Abdur Rahman, and was recruited by a terror mastermind.

There were two unique things about the 2005 terror plot. As Daniel Pipes pointed out at the time, it was the first “large-scale” terror plot organized by Americans, not Muslim immigrants.

But it was also the first Islamic terror plot in America that was organized from prison.

Kevin Lamarr James, a Crips gang member, had been sent away for a decade for a robbery in 1996. A member of the Nation of Islam, James made the same journey as Malcolm X and many other black Muslims, away from the racist black nationalist UFO cult, and to mainstream Islam.

On one hand, he had gotten a tattoo of Allah and on the other, the star and crescent of Islam.

The charismaic James created Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh or JIS to spread true Islam, recruit prisoners, and set off a wave of Islamic terrorist atrocities against American targets in California.

Members were told to swear an oath of secrecy, to wage war on infidels, especially Jews. In prison, they practiced Arabic, studied Islamic theology, and trained in martial arts. Out of prison, they were told to blend into society and build the Caliphate in America through Jihad.

By the time the robberies began, a Jihadist group had been secretly operating in Folsom Prison for nearly a decade, and was about to make the leap to carrying out attacks on the outside.

One of their target dates for a terror attack was the fourth anniversary of September 11.

“This incident is the first in a series of incidents to come in a plight to defend and propagate traditional Islam in its purity,” James, who had changed his name to Ahmed Binyamin Alasiri, allegedly declared in a press release for the attacks.

“We are not extremists, radicals, or terrorists. We are only servants of Allah.”

But James hadn’t picked the best servants for his deity. When Patterson left behind his phone, the authorities followed the trail right back to Folsom Prison and JIS’ mastermind.

The four-man cell was charged with levying war against the United States.

But James was the one with the brains. While Washington, his patsy, was slapped with a twenty-two year prison sentence, his ‘Sheikh’ who had built an entire terror group in prison, denied everything and then claimed that he suffered from a really bad childhood.

"Your honor, I'm thoroughly embarrassed and appalled by my actions. I don't even recognize who I was three years ago. Never before in my life before meeting these people, did I believe in violence or targeting innocent civilians,” the terror sheikh gushed.

Judge Cormac Carney, who would later illegally declare the death penalty to be unconstitutional, called James' missive “the most powerful letter I’ve ever received.”

The naive judge was also impressed by all of James' prison college classes and his evolution and repentance, and described him as a victim from a disadvantaged background.

In the portion of James’ letter that Judge Carney read out loud in court, the terror mastermind vowed that, “My country need never fear from me again.”

That was in 2009.

He was freed in September 2019. And in August 2020, he was busted selling meth.

James, now living in Orange County and officially being called Ahmed Binyamin Alasiri, had been selling nearly pure methamphetamine for thousands of dollars.

And all of this was going on while James was on supervised release.

The FBI had called the terror plot by Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, "probably the one that operationally was closest to actually occurring".

"Americans watched so-called 'home grown' terrorists unleash multiple bombings in the city of London. Some in this country may have mistakenly believed that it could not happen here. Today we have chilling evidence that it is possible,” Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said.

The terror plot had been aimed at military targets, as well as a number of Los Angeles congregations, including, allegedly, the ultra-progressive B’nai David-Judea, which would have been struck by armed gunmen pushing their way inside and opening fire on Yom Kippur.

The heavy security presence at Los Angeles synagogues, which includes heavily armed guards and bulletproof vests, is part of the legacy that James and his True Islam terror group left there.

James had built up a terrorist operation in prison backed by manifestos and operational documents making him the closest counterpart to the Blind Sheikh. Instead he was given a lighter sentence because the same charismatic gang member turned preacher, who had convinced hardened criminals from rival gangs to believe in him, had turned a judge.

Selling meth may have been the alleged hobby of a newly freed criminal, or something more. Traffic in certain drugs, including methamphetamines, has been used by Islamic terrorist groups to finance their operations. It’s unknown whether this is the case here, but the FBI, after Obama, is less likely to be looking for it or to even know what to be on the lookout for.

When Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh fell afoul of the FBI in 2005, law enforcement was acquainted with the methodology, infrastructure and strategies of Islamic terrorists. During the Obama administration, a cultural revolution was waged against counterterrorism from the inside.

If James is up to anything these days, the FBI is unprepared and unready to find out.

Fifteen years later, the terror plot, once a major event, has been largely forgotten. And the same is true of most Islamic terrorist attacks except for September 11. As the country enters another September and begins a countdown to 9/11, everything afterward is being forgotten.

During the Black Lives Matter riots, a white Muslim illegal alien stabbed a New York cop, grabbed his gun, and opened fire on other officers while shouting, “Allahu Akbar”. Despite wounding three cops and claiming, “my religion made me do it,” there’s been little coverage.

In the midst of a pandemic and nationwide race riots, we should not forget that there is more than one threat vector. Islamic terrorists don’t go away just because no one is paying attention. And the same prison system that helped produce the wave of BLM violence has also incubated Islamic prison terror cells like the one that plotted to kill Americans on another September 11.

The Nation of Islam has been a feeder for both Islamic terrorism and Black Lives Matter violence. All three are deeply violent, bigoted, and possessed of a feverish hatred of America.

 

AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS

 WAY OVER THERE?!?

Muslim Beheads Man on French Street, and Here We Go Again

Once again we get the same mind-numbing denial and willful ignorance we always see after jihad attacks.

 

Robert Spencer

 

69

It happened again on Friday: a Muslim migrant from Chechnya, screaming “Allahu akbar,” beheaded a schoolteacher, Samuel Paty, on a street in a Paris suburb for the crime of showing cartoons of Muhammad to his students. The response to this gruesome jihad murder has been as predictable, and dreary, and drearily predictable, as one might expect.

In response to the murder, French President Emmanuel Macron said: “This battle is ours and it is existential. They will not pass. Obscurantism and the violence that goes with it will not win. They will not divide us. That’s what they seek and we must stand together.”

This sounds great on the first hearing. That’s the idea. But in reality, “They will not divide us” is a statement that is designed to reassure Muslims in France. Macron is saying that he will do nothing to “divide” the supposedly happily united French people. What would “divide” them? Well, something like scrutinizing the Islamic death penalty for blasphemy and challenging Muslim leaders in France to repudiate it explicitly and declare their support for the freedom of speech, and to demonstrate their sincerity by instituting programs in mosques and Islamic schools in France to teach against Sharia blasphemy laws and emphasize the importance of the freedom of speech. That would “divide us.” Macron is saying it won’t happen, as expected.

Meanwhile, according to the Telegraph, “Jean-Luc Mélenchon, head of the far-Left party, Unbowed France, said: ‘Horrible crime in Conflans! In fact, the assassin takes himself for the god that he claims he follows. He is sullying religion. And he is inflicting on us all the hell of having to live with murderers like him.’”

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, like so many non-Muslims who assure us that Islam is the most peaceful, benign and cuddly of religions, clearly has no clue about what Islam actually teaches.

Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.

These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)

Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad bin Maslama, answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)

Likewise, the popular fatwa website Islam QA used to call for death for blasphemers, using both Qur’an and Hadith to make its argument, although now it has removed this. “The scholars are unanimously agreed,” the site explained, “that a Muslim who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) becomes a kaafir [unbeliever] and an apostate who is to be executed. This consensus was narrated by more than one of the scholars, such as Imaam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, Ibn al-Mundhir, al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad, al-Khattaabi and others.”

In light of all that, what this migrant did Friday is not in the least out of the ordinary, or unexpected.

When is France, and when is the West in general, going to recognize the danger that mass Muslim migration without any attempt at assimilation poses for the freedom of speech and other aspects of a free society? Note that Paty invited Muslim students to leave the room before showing the Muhammad cartoons. He was beheaded anyway. His crime, as far as his attacker was concerned, was daring to show the cartoons at all, even if the tender eyes of Muslim students were not assaulted by this blasphemy. The Islamic supremacist demand is that all people, Muslim and non-Muslim, in non-Muslim as well as in Muslim countries, bow to Islamic law.

The West is eventually going to have to decide whether it is going to do so, or defend free society. So far it has gotten along by pretending that the conflict doesn’t exist and that the showdown will never come. Samuel Paty is dead today because of that pretense. At a certain point, France is going to have to choose between the freedom of expression and Sharia blasphemy laws. Which it will choose is anyone’s guess, but in Sweden police are already hunting down people who burned the Qur’an, and the social media giants are increasingly open about their silencing of all dissidents from their hard-Left agenda, so the overall prognosis for free societies is not good.

The terrorist killers are alleged to have shouted, "We have killed Charlie Hebdo; we have taken revenge for the sake of the Prophet Mohammed."

Will France Finally Rain Justice Down on Islamic Terrorists?

By Michael Curtis

A court case in Paris began on September 2, 2020 to render justice concerning a series of terrorist attacks in recent French history.  The case is occurring after five years of investigation and delay, partly due to COVID-19, which caused the closing of most French courthouses, with the trial of 14 suspects, three in absentia, accused of being connected with those responsible for the terror attacks on the satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in central Paris and following events — the attack on a kosher supermarket, Hypercacher, in east Paris and other sites for three days beginning on January 7, 2015.  The suspects are charged with being involved in the logistics and preparation of the events, helping finance and providing operational materials and weapons in support of the jihadists.  Because of its unusual nature, and the judicial and political importance of the trial, which is expected to last two months, the high-security proceedings are to be filmed.

This case is important not only in itself, but also because of its relevance in the ongoing highly controversial debate on the limits to freedom of speech and the importance of intellectual and cultural freedom. 

The magazine Charlie Hebdo has been a beacon of free speech in France.  It is an equal-opportunity offender, satirizing public figures, religious symbols, and ideas of all kinds.  The terrorist attacks, the subject of the Paris trial, began as a result of Islamist opposition on the grounds of blasphemy to the publications by Charlie Hebdo that on February 9, 2006 republished 12 satirical cartoons.  The cartoons were originally published by the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in 2005, titled "The Face of Mohammed," some of which were deliberately provocative.  Muslim authorities regarded them as insulting, especially one that portrayed the prophet with a bomb in his turban.  In general, many Muslims consider a portrait of the prophet sacrilegious and thus were offended by the cartoons.

In 2007, the Grand Mosque of Paris brought criminal proceedings against C.H. under France's hate speech laws, but the Paris court acquitted the magazine, finding that the magazine had ridiculed fundamentalists, not Muslims as a whole.  At the time, President Jacques Chirac condemned the cartoons as publications that could hurt the convictions, in particular religious convictions, of others.

This court decision did not prevent violence.  In November 2011, the office of C.H. in the 20th arrondissement was firebombed.  Going beyond peaceful protest, two brothers, the Kouachi brothers, of Algerian descent, armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers, attacked the office of C.H., killing 12 people — the editor, journalists and cartoonists, and a police officer outside the building.  The killers shouted, "Allahu akbar," "God is great," and claimed they were part of an al-Qaeda group.  They proclaimed, "We have killed Charlie Hebdo.  We have taken revenge for the sake of Prophet Mohammed.

Three days later, another terrorist , Amedy Couibaly, a friend of the Kouachis, pledged to ISIS and the Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula and attacked the kosher supermarket in east Paris, shooting four Jews and a female police officer.  He was assisted by a woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, who fled via Turkey to Syria.  One of those on trial in Paris in absentia, she is regarded by police as armed and extremely dangerous.  The attack on the kosher supermarket was an indication that Jews were the main target of Islamist extremists, three years after the attack, in March 2012, on the Jewish school in Toulouse in which three children and their teacher were shot dead by a .45 caliber gun and a 9 mm gun that jammed.

At the core of the events concerning Charlie Hebdo is a courageous figure, Flemming Rose, then cultural editor of the Danish paper and the person principally responsible for the decision to publish.  He was prepared to defend free speech in all its forms and risked his life to do so.  Al-Qaeda put him on its hit list.  Rose has always refused to apologize for publishing the cartoons.  He explained in an article of February 19, 2006 that he had commissioned the cartoons in response to several incidents of self-censorship in Europe caused by increasing fears and feelings of intimidation in dealing with issues relating to Islam.  His goal was simply to reduce or end self-imposed limits of expression.  His argument is highly relevant today.  Some among the political left in Europe have been unwilling to confront the racist ideology of Islamists.  They mistakenly view the Koran as a new version of Das Kapital and continue to see the Muslims of Europe as the new proletariat.

 The terrorist events had a double impact. One was an outpouring of sympathy for C.H. with large peaceful demonstrations in France and abroad, one in Paris attended by François Hollande, Angela Merkel, and British then–prime minister David Cameron.  Pencils were held up by demonstrators to indicate support for freedom of expression.  For a moment, the magic words "je suis Charlie" were carried on signs and on clothing to show international support.  In its honor, a street name in Paris was changed to "Place de la Liberté d'Expression."  President Hollande sent troops into the streets to guard sites.

The other impact was further attacks in France, especially a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris and its suburbs.  The most brazen were outside the Stade de France, the sports stadium in Saint Denis outside Paris, during a football game between France and Germany at which President Hollande was in attendance, followed by mass shootings at cafés and restaurants, and then, on November 13, 2015, an attack, the deadliest since World War II, at the Bataclan theater in the 11th arrondissement, previously owned by a Jewish family, when 130 were killed and many more injured.  The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL, claimed responsibility.

The terrorist killers are alleged to have shouted, "We have killed Charlie Hebdo; we have taken revenge for the sake of the Prophet Mohammed."  But they are mistaken.  Charlie Hebdo remains published.  It again courageously published in its current September issue a dozen cartoons first published in Denmark in 2005 and bravely asserts, "We will never lie down; we will never give up."  However, caution is necessary.  C.H. is published under conditions of absolute secrecy, in a secret location; the staff is surrounded by armed guards and security measures.  Special doors and code words are used, and the journalists are threatened with death.

France officially recognizes that hatred still thrives in the country.  In a French database, over 8,000 are listed as Islamist radicals.  The wave of violence has led to 258 killed since January 7, 2015.  In the midst of this reality, the court in Paris must consider the basic issue.  Is France the champion of free speech and expression in its publications, or did the cartoons go beyond the bounds of civility and respect for others?  French law states that incitement to terrorism is a punishable offense.  The controversy will continue.  The French Constitutional Court in June 2020 struck down provisions of a law to combat online hate speech.  Perhaps the present court case will decide on the general issue of freedom.  It will certainly confirm the nature of the terrorist attacks.  One was against freedom of expression.  The other was against Jews because they were Jews.

James, now living in Orange County and officially being called Ahmed Binyamin Alasiri, had been selling nearly pure methamphetamine for thousands of dollars.

And all of this was going on while James was on supervised release.

The FBI had called the terror plot by Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, "probably the one that operationally was closest to actually occurring".

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

By Lauri B. Regan

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.


YouTube screen grab.

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 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.

OBAMA AND HIS SAUDIS PAYMASTERS… Did he serve them well?

Malia, Michelle, Barack and the College Admissions Scandal https://globalistbarackobama.blogspot.com/2019/03/malia-michelle-barack-and-college.html

 

Michelle was the next to attend Harvard, in her case Harvard Law School. “Told by counselors that her SAT scores and her grades weren’t good enough for an Ivy League school,” writes Christopher Andersen in Barack and Michelle, “Michelle applied to Princeton and Harvard anyway.”

Barack Obama’s back door, however, was unique to him. Before prosecutors send some of the dimmer Hollywood stars to the slammer for their dimness, they might want to ask just how much influence a Saudi billionaire peddled to get Obama into Harvard.


Democrats Dodge the Real Reparations

How about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?

Thu Oct 15, 2020 

Lloyd Billingsley

“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.
