GET THESE FUCKING MUSLIMS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!
The Taliban, a radical Islamist terrorist organization, seized leadership of the country on Sunday after surrounding the nation’s capital, Kabul, prompting former President Ashraf Ghani to flee. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan until 2001, when the United States invaded the country, and established a brutal regime that regularly persecuted political dissidents, religious minorities, women, and anyone considered to be violating Islamic law, or sharia.

How the CIA Failed to Protect America on 9/11
But now spies on American citizens and meddles in domestic politics.

“September 11, 2001, was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the United States,” proclaimed “The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States.” The nation was “unprepared,” notes the 2004 report, including the agency that should have been the best prepared, the Central Intelligence Agency.
Before 9/11, “no agency had more responsibility, or did more, to attack al Qaeda, working day and night, than the CIA,” but the bosses “believed they desperately needed funds just to continue their current counterterrorism effort.” To some officials, “the CIA’s leadership did not give sufficient priority to the battle against Bin Laden and al Qaeda.” After CIA director George Tenet obtained a supplemental appropriation, “the CIA still believed that it remained underfunded for terrorism.” On the other hand, the report leaves little doubt that the CIA underperformed.
Information from the National Security Agency (NSA) and CIA “often failed to make its way to criminal investigators.” The intelligence unit of the Federal Aviation Administration was supposed to receive “a broad range of intelligence” from the CIA, but didn’t.
After the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in October 2000, the CIA “had no definitive answer on the attack, how or by whom.” The agency “was not able to find or disrupt al Qaeda’s money flow,” and “analysts stopped distributing written reports about who was responsible.”
Counterterrorism director Richard Clarke warned that the CIA bureaucracy was “masterful at passive aggressive behavior” and “a hollow shell of words without deeds.”
In May 2001, reports were surging that al Qaeda terrorists Khalid al-Mihdhar, and Nawaf al-Hamzi had arrived in Los Angeles but “the CIA official who reviewed the cables took no action regarding them.” When al-Mihdhar flew to New York on July 4, 2001, “no one was looking for him.”
On May 15, 2001, CIA officials examined cables from 2000 indicating that al-Mihdhar had a U.S. visa and al-Hamzi had come to LA in 2000. According to the report, the CIA official who reviewed the cables took no action regarding them.
CIA agent “Jane,” who had been involved with U.S.S. Cole, did not share information with an FBI agent because he was involved with merely “criminal” activities. That kept the FBI agent “from any search for Mihdhar” and Jane even destroyed the FBI agent’s copy of the lead “because it had NSC information.” And the CIA “did not write analytical assessments of possible hijacking scenarios.”
The CIA inspector general contributed to the 9/11 Commission Report, which doubtless understates the agency’s ineptitude. The report has no index and no names of CIA agents, so any lapses by CIA official John Brennan remain unknown.
In 1976, Brennan voted for hardline Stalinist Gus Hall, presidential candidate of the Communist Party USA. That was Brennan’s right, but there is no right to a job at the CIA, and a vote for a foreign-controlled political party hostile to the United States disqualified Brennan from any job with any U.S. intelligence agency. Incredibly enough, the CIA duly hired Brennan in 1980 as a “career trainee” in the agency’s Directorate of Operations.
In 2009, the composite character president David Garrow profiled in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama made Brennan assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism before choosing him as CIA director in 2013. That marks a contrast with Clinton national security boss Anthony Snow, who in 1997 failed to become CIA director partly because he believed Stalinist spy Alger Hiss might be innocent.
Before 9/11, the CIA refused to share information with the FBI. By contrast, when the Crossfire Hurricane operation against President Donald Trump was playing out, the “intelligence community” did not hesitate to share information with the establishment media. In early 2018, former CIA director John Brennan became “the latest member of the NBC News and MSNBC family, officially signing with the network as a contributor.” How that enhanced national security is open to question, but it did expand the possibilities of CIA meddling in domestic politics.
CIA director Gina Haspel had been with the agency since 1985. By contrast, current director William Burns is a career diplomat who previously served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and after retirement became president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. According to his official CIA profile, Burns has a record of “keeping Americans safe and secure,” but the people have cause to wonder.
Before 2001, the 9/11 Commission Report confirms, the CIA failed to keep America safe. Radical Islam is again ramping up, and under the Biden Junta, the southern border is more porous than ever. Before Sept. 11, 2021, the nation could easily experience more days of unprecedented shock and suffering, with casualties in the thousands. To adapt the famous saying of Milan Kundera, the struggle against terrorism is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
Muslim Congressional Candidate Featured at Event Sponsored by Islamist Outfit ICNA
Barbara Sharief builds political profile by participating with group harboring death squad leader.
1 comment
Joe Kaufman is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative. He was the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23).
In January 2011, Broward County, Florida Commissioner Barbara Sharief’s name was listed as a speaker at a conference sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), on ISNA’s conference schedule. When this author questioned her participation at an event put on by a radical Muslim group – ISNA was co-founded by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader Sami al-Arian and had been named by the US government a co-conspirator in the financing of Hamas – Sharief claimed she had rejected the request to speak at the conference and said she had “no idea” why her name was attached to it. Today, Sharief cannot speak at enough Islamist events.
Sharief, while still a Broward commissioner, is currently running for US Congress, in the Democratic Primary of the 2022 special election to replace Alcee Hastings, who was recently deceased. Since announcing her candidacy, Sharief has become a regular at functions sponsored and hosted by Muslim groups associated with terrorism. On August 8th, Sharief was the “Special Guest” at an event sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), not to be mistaken for ISNA. The event – a giveaway of cheap backpacks and school supplies to children – seemed innocuous. However, when it comes to ICNA itself, nothing is innocuous.
ICNA is the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), South Asia’s largest Islamist group. ICNA has spent 30-plus years harboring Ashrafuz Zaman Khan, a former death squad leader allegedly responsible for the murder of 18 individuals. In July 2014, ICNA co-sponsored a pro-Hamas rally in Downtown Miami. In March 2000, ICNA asked its followers to provide “material support” to Chechen militants linked to al-Qaeda. The Public Relations and Government Affairs Coordinator of ICNA Relief USA, Ammar Ahmed, once joked about threatening to blow up a school. And ICNA continues to promote domestic violence against women on its Why Islam (WI) website.
At the ICNA event, Sharief was photographed with Rasheed Mahamad, the Assistant Secretary of the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA). In July 2010, Muhamad’s AMANA was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for posting what the ADL called a “venomous” anti-Semitic video, featuring David Duke, on AMANA’s official website. Mahamad devotes a large part of his social media to Fadi Kablawi, the imam of the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC). This past December, Kablawi referred to Jews as “the lowest of the lowest.” In March 2018, Kablawi told his congregation that the FBI considers him to be a member of ISIS.
On August 6th, two days prior to the ICNA affair, Sharief spoke at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR). Facing the audience, along with her, was ICBR co-founder Bassem Alhalabi. Alhalabi was a former assistant to and co-author of publications with Sami al-Arian, and in June 2003, he was charged by the US Commerce Department with illegally shipping a $13,000 thermal imaging device to Syria. ICBR fellow co-founder, Syed Ahmad, was a website designer for Hamas. In October 1999, ICBR posted a violently anti-Semitic essay on its website, referring to Jews as “enemies” and speaking of a day when Muslims will “fight the Jews and kill them.”
At the ICBR event, Sharief was photographed with Chief Operating Officer of ICNA Relief and Secretary of ICNA Florida Abdul Rauf Khan. The two have been photographed, at a number of her recent events. Khan is an avid fan of Louis Farakhan and has used his social media to target Jews and gays. In July 2014, Khan promoted on Facebook an anti-Semitic video labeling comedian talk show host Bill Maher, “Zionist Jew Bill Maher.” In April 2018, Khan posted the anti-gay propaganda piece, Why is it haram to actively be gay? It was produced by a media outlet that openly supports Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HT), a group that calls for gays to be put to death.
In June, Sharief was interviewed by Shafayat Mohamed, the imam of the Darul Uloom mosque, located in Pembroke Pines. In July, she spoke at the mosque. Darul Uloom has been a haven for high-profile terrorists. “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla was a student of Mohamed’s at Darul Uloom, and now-deceased al-Qaeda commander Adnan el-Shukrijumah was a prayer leader there. Mohamed, himself, was thrown off a number of community boards for his public vitriol against homosexuals. In February 2005, Darul Uloom published an article written by Mohamed, titled ‘Tsunami: Wrath of God,’ claiming that gay sex caused the 2004 Indonesian tsunami.
Also in June, the Muslim community hosted a town hall meeting for Sharief. Ironically, the moderator for the event, Khurrum Wahid, was the same moderator for the ISNA event she refused to speak at, over a decade earlier. Wahid is the National Chairman of Emgage Action, an Islamist group that attempts to disguise its sinister goals as political advocacy. Wahid, as well, has been an attorney for many of the high-profile terrorists that the US government has prosecuted, including members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and reportedly, Wahid himself was placed on a federal terrorist watch list in 2011.
In a poll that was conducted last month to see which Democrat candidates vying for Hastings’ seat were the most popular with Democrat voters, Sharief scored a close second, in a field of nine candidates (As of this writing, eleven Democrat candidates have qualified). Most likely, given the demographics of this congressional district, the winner of the November 2, 2021 Democratic Primary will be the next representative. And given Sharief’s courtship and participation with the radical Muslim community, her winning this seat should and must be seen as a threat to our nation
After Biden Admin Warns of "Strongly Worded" Letter on Women's Rights, Taliban Kill Woman for Not Wearing a Burqa
10 comments
Yesterday, Biden's UN Ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said that there was "a very strongly worded press statement" expecting "the Taliban to respect women's rights."
While the Taliban had been prepped by the Qataris to say a lot of the right things, including claiming that they'll respect the rights of women within the very narrow boundaries of Islamic law, they apparently killed a woman for not wearing a burqa.
Even as Afghanistan's resurgent Taliban pledged to respect "women’s rights" in a propaganda blitz Tuesday, fighters from the group shot and killed a woman in Takhar province after she went out in public without a burqa.
And in Kabul, Taliban vehicles packed with armed militants were recorded on video patrolling residential areas for activists and government workers. Gunshots can be heard as they accelerate down the street.
Longtime Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid held his first news conference Tuesday to state that the extremist group would honor women’s rights -- within sharia law
What the Taliban's official mouthpieces and even its leaders say doesn't matter all that much.
The Taliban is a Potemkin village. A lot of its fighters appear to actually be foreign Jihadists. (Again, something our intelligence agencies and military and NSC people should have been on. If there was a major flow of foreign fighters, as locals have reported, why were we not tracking it?) They're going to follow their own orders. And many of the so-called Afghan Taliban are their own militias with their own leaders who don't necessarily take orders and certainly not from Taliban press conferences. And the Taliban are fine with that.
Before and after 9/11, the Taliban tried to use plausible deniability to avoid any responsibility. They're still playing the same old game.
Report: Taliban Killing People Found with Bibles on Their Phones
The Taliban is killing people in Afghanistan they find with copies of the Bible on their mobile phones, a Christian non-profit denounced on Tuesday.
The Taliban, a radical Islamist terrorist organization, seized leadership of the country on Sunday after surrounding the nation’s capital, Kabul, prompting former President Ashraf Ghani to flee. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan until 2001, when the United States invaded the country, and established a brutal regime that regularly persecuted political dissidents, religious minorities, women, and anyone considered to be violating Islamic law, or sharia.
According to SAT-7, an organization that broadcasts Christian programs to churches and Christians in the Middle East and North Africa, the Taliban is using “spies and informants” to persecute the Christian minority in the country.
“We’re hearing from reliable sources that the Taliban demand people’s phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately,” said SAT-7 North America President Dr. Rex Rogers told Religion News Service. “It’s incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere.”
Other Christian nonprofits and ministries that specialize in assisting persecuted Christians around the world have been sounding the alarm as well, emphasizing the ruthless nature of Taliban leadership. A Christian contact of one Release International partner described the situation as “dire” in a report published Monday. Release International is a Christian ministry that also assists persecuted Christians around the world.
“Our brothers and sisters in Christ are telling us how afraid they are. In the areas that the Taliban now control girls are not allowed to go to school and women are not allowed to leave their homes without a male companion,” said Micah, a name assigned to him to protect his identity.
Even without the Taliban in power, Afghanistan was the second most dangerous place for Christians to practice their faith, behind North Korea, according to the 2021 version of Open Doors’ World Watch List. Open Doors is a non-profit that monitors Christian persecution and aids its victims. The U.S. State Department similarly described the now-former Afghan government as extremely hostile to Christians.

In its 2020 Report on International Religious Freedom, the State Department documented widespread death threats against Christians — most commonly from family members — and from officials. Christians in Afghanistan were forced to practice their faith underground and meet with small groups to worship.
Christians also faced significant legal persecution under the U.S.-backed government. Apostacy, the “crime” of renouncing Islam for a different faith, was punishable by death, imprisonment, or confiscation of property. Anyone who preaches another religion is subject to the same punishment. After conversion to a different religion, an individual was given three days to recant before they face punishment for apostasy.
“According to Sunni Hanafi jurisprudence, which the constitution states shall apply ‘if there is no provision in the constitution or other laws about a case,’ beheading is appropriate for male apostates,” the report states, “while life imprisonment is appropriate for female apostates, unless the individual repents.”
The State Department estimated Christians and other minority religious groups made up 0.3 percent of the population, adding that no reliable estimates of the Christian community exist.
Now that the Taliban has seized power again after a 20-year war, Christians who were already being forced to conceal their beliefs for fear of retribution are reportedly being targeted and murdered for their faith.

“Secret believers in Afghanistan are especially vulnerable. Prior to Taliban rule, they already had a very difficult time living out their faith, as they had to keep it secret from their families for fear of being shunned, or worse, killed,” said Brother Samuel, Open Doors Field Director for Asia.
“Now that the Taliban is in power, their vulnerability increases tenfold. It would be almost impossible to be a follower of Jesus in this country,” Brother Samuel continued. “We are monitoring the situation, but this is the time for us to ask God to have mercy not only on His people but on this country as a whole.”
The Taliban is infamous for monitoring the social practices of local populations and imposing ruthless punishments based on their interpretation of Islamic Law, or what observers call a “parallel system of justice,” according to the U.S. Department of State’s 2020 Report on International Religious Freedom.
Open Doors noted that though the Taliban has promised a “more modern and reformed approach to government,” fear remains as to how it will impose sharia in the coming days and weeks.
“With the collapse of the government, the expansion of extremism, food shortages and the raging pandemic, Afghanistan needs urgent prayer from the global Church right now, more than ever,” the organization said.
