THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
REMEMBER THE MUSLIM INVASION SEPT 11 AND THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS
What could possibly go wrong? Border Report reported Monday that “a shelter for Muslim migrants opened over the weekend in Tijuana, the first of its kind in all of Mexico.” This is no small-time effort: “The Latino Muslim Foundation, based in San Diego and Tijuana, raised half a million dollars to make the facility a reality.” Meanwhile, fifty people on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the Southern border so far this year, and there is no telling how many got across without being caught. Welcome to Old Joe Biden’s America.
Houston Islamic Center Video: Children Sing, ' I Make an Oath, I'll be Your Martyr'

(CNS News) -- The Islamic Education Center in Houston, Texas, recently posted a video on YouTube of children in its community, ages 4-14, singing the song "Salam Farmande" (Hello Commander), which includes lyrics where the kids "make an oath" to "Sayeed Ali," and sing "I'll be your martyr."
Sayeed Ali Hosseini Khamenei is the Supreme Leader of Iran, a Shia Muslim. Some defenders of the video, however, claim that the Sayeed Ali referenced is the 12th Imam and Shia Messiah from the 9th century, who will return to establish peace on Earth. Yet other videos of the same song show Muslim children pinning pictures on their chest of Sayeed Ali Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader, and of Qasem Soleimani.

Soleimani was a major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, and former right-hand man to Ali Khamenei. The U.S. designated Soleimani a terrorist in 2005. He was killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2020 on the orders of President Donald Trump. Soleimani is considered a hero and martyr by the Iranian government. He is directly named in the song "Salam Farmande" sung by the Muslim children in Houston.
M. Hanif Jazayeri, the editor of Free Iran and a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which supports creating a democracy in that country, said on Twitter that the video constitutes "Iran recruiting child soldiers" in the U.S.
As he tweeted, "State media airs video of kids in Houston TX swearing allegiance to the regime's Supreme Leader Khamenei. They sing 'Don't look at my young age' 'I will be your soldier' 'I make an oath. One day when you need me, I will be your martyr."
Jazayeri, a Muslim, told CNS News that the Houston video "has been published by the Fars News Agency (affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards), the Mehr News Agency (affiliated to the Ministry of Intelligence and Security), the Mashregh News Agency (which belongs to the hardline faction), and a whole host of other state-run news agencies [in Iran]."
In the original video posted by the Islamic Education Center in Houston it included captions in English. Since last Friday those captions were turned off and the video was removed. But it was reposted on Islamic TV's page YouTube page where it clearly states "Salam Farmande/Houston TX USA." Parts of the song are in Farsi, other parts in English.

CNS News did take some screenshots of the video and the lyrics. In the captioned translation, some of the lyrics state: "Salam Farmande [Hello Commander] ...
"In spite of my young age, I will be your army's commander. Please don't look at my young frame. Don't look at my young age. Salam, from this young and eager generation, Sayyed Ali has called the fearless and youthful generation.
"I make an oath, one day when you need me, I make an oath, I'll be your Shaheed hadi [a martyr]. I make an oath just like bahjat and just like your loyal sergeants.
(Screenshot, YouTube)
"I'll be your servant. I make an oath that I will stay loyal to you, oh Imam. I long for your presence every day and every night. ... Don't worry about it, my Agha [leader], Your soldiers are here without fear."
The word "shaheed" is used both in Arabic and Persian and it means "martyr," said Jazayeri. He also explained a sentence in Farsi in the song, "which is repeated more than once, makes a direct reference to Khamenei's name. It says 'Seyyed Ali.' That's his title and first name, and that's how he is referred to in pro-regime poems and songs. His title and name is Seyyed Ali Khamenei."
In the emotional and patriotic video, the children, boys and girls are dressed well and often saluting and waving Iranian flags.

The video apparently was made on July 22 at the Houston center. Flyers of the event were posted on Twitter and Instagram. (See image.) The flyer partly reads, July 22, 2022, 6:00 pm, Salam Farmande, Group Recitation By The Houston Community. ... IEC, 2313 S. Voss Road, Houston, TX 77057... We request every member of our community to join us along with their kids as we express our love for the imam of our time by reciting Salam Farmande. The group recital will be filmed & shared on social media. #salamfarmande.
In one tweet of the flyer (@MojtabaRohizade), it states at the top, as translated by Google and Jazayeri, "There is nothing left for the White House to become a Hosseiniyeh, God willing. #Salamfarmande in America." A Hosseiniyeh is a mosque.
Apparently, this tweet is calling for the White House to become a mosque -- "God willing."

In a story about the video, theHouston Chronicle reported, "[A] Texas-based Middle East expert who reviewed the video agreed that the song makes multiple indirect references to the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, the country's highest ranking official who holds ultimate power in Iran. The 83-year-old Shiite leader has bristled in response to most U.S. foreign policy. Iran and the U.S. ended diplomatic relations in 1980."
"The expert, who asked not to be identified due to fear of retribution, also shared links to coverage of the Houston music video by state-controlled Iranian outlet Fars News, with the headline 'Salam Farmandeh Went to America,'" said the Chronicle.

In an Indonesian video of the song, the children have pictures of Ali Kamenei and Soleimani pinned to their chests. (See image below.)
Jazayeri also told CNS News, "I can understand that Khamenei's regime would have agents in places like Iraq or Nigeria or Lebanon indoctrinating young people. But Texas is a different story. U.S. law enforcement should be investigating such centers."
CNS News contacted the Islamic Education Center in Houston for comment, but it did not respond before this story was posted.

IT'S TIME TO STOP BEING FOOLS
ABOUT THE MUSLIMS!
Blinken: Taliban ‘Grossly Violated’ Agreement With US by ‘Hosting and Sheltering’ Zawahiri

(CNSNews.com) – The Taliban “grossly violated” its 2020 agreement with the United States by “hosting and sheltering” al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday, after President Biden announced that the fugitive terrorist had been killed in a weekend drone strike in Kabul.
Blinken said the Taliban had violated not just the Doha agreement but also its “repeated assurances to the world that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used by terrorists to threaten the security of other countries.”
“They also betrayed the Afghan people and their own stated desire for recognition from and normalization with the international community,” he said.
“In the face of the Taliban’s unwillingness or inability to abide by their commitments, we will continue to support the Afghan people with robust humanitarian assistance and to advocate for the protection of their human rights, especially of women and girls.”
There was no immediate official Taliban response overnight to news of Zawahiri’s death, although Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid Tuesday morning did repost a statement from the previous day, “strongly” condemning the drone strike, without mentioning the target, and calling it a violation by the U.S. of the Doha agreement.
The February 2020 agreement signed between the Taliban and the Trump administration in Doha, Qatar paved the way for the U.S. troop withdrawal and an end to the war.
It included a clear pledge that the Taliban would “not allow any of its members, other individuals or groups, including al-Qaeda, to use the soil of Afghanistan to threaten the security of the United States and its allies.”
That commitment was then laid out in more specific terms.
The Taliban said it would instruct its members “not to cooperate with groups or individuals threatening the security of the United States and its allies” and to send “a clear message that those who pose a threat to the security of the United States and its allies have no place in Afghanistan.”
Moreover, the Taliban would “prevent any group or individual in Afghanistan from threatening the security of the United States and its allies, and will prevent them from recruiting, training, and fundraising and will not host them.”
Finally, the Taliban pledged to deny asylum or residence in Afghanistan, and not issue visas, passports, travel permits, or other legal documents, to individuals posing a threat to the security of the U.S. and its allies.
One day after the Taliban seized power in Kabul almost a year ago, Biden described al-Qaeda as having been “severely degraded” in Afghanistan.
Several days later, he raised eyebrows when he said that al-Qaeda was “gone” from Afghanistan.
“Look, let’s put this thing in perspective here,” he told reporters in the East Room. “What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with al-Qaeda gone? We went to Afghanistan for the express purpose of getting rid of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, as well as – as well as getting Osama bin Laden. And we did.”
Hours later, then-Pentagon spokesman – now National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications – John Kirby confirmed that “al-Qaeda is a presence” in Afghanistan.
When asked about Biden’s remark, however, Kirby said the Pentagon believes that that “there isn’t a presence that is significant enough to merit a threat to our homeland, as there was back on 9/11 20 years ago.”
During a visit to Kuwait the following month – shortly after the chaotic evacuation mission from Kabul ended – Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. had “put the Taliban on notice” that it expects it will not allow al-Qaeda to “regenerate in Afghanistan.”
“One of the ways that the Taliban can demonstrate that they are serious about being a bona fide government and respected in an international community is to not allow that to happen,” he said. “So I think everybody’s watching this very closely.”
‘A safe haven under the Taliban’
Since then, reports by U.N. Security Council sanctions monitoring teams have highlighted concerns about Taliban-al-Qaeda cooperation.
“The relationship between the Taliban and al-Qaeda remains close, with the latter celebrating the former’s success and renewing its pledge of allegiance to [Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada],” said one such report last May, pointing to assessments by member-states suggesting “that al-Qaeda has a safe haven under the Taliban and increased freedom of action.”

“Al-Qaeda has used the Taliban’s takeover to attract new recruits and funding and inspire al-Qaeda affiliates globally.”
The report also stated that some al-Qaeda members were reported to be living in Kabul’s former diplomatic quarter where they have access to foreign ministry meetings, although it said the monitoring team could not confirm that.
(The CIA drone strike that killed Zawahiri targeted a house in the capital’s Sherpur neighborhood, which lies immediately adjacent to the diplomatic quarter and is also within a mile of two of major regime ministries, including the foreign ministry.)
“Going forward, al-Qaeda appears free to pursue its objectives, short of international attacks or other high-profile activity that could embarrass the Taliban or harm their interests,” it said.
“These objectives are likely to include recruitment, training, fundraising and al-Zawahiri’s video communications. It is assessed that al-Qaeda is focused on reorganizing itself in the short-to-medium term with the ultimate objective of continuing its idea of global jihad.”
A similar assessment came in a more recent U.N. sanctions monitoring report, in mid-July.
“Al-Qaeda leadership reportedly plays an advisory role with the Taliban, and the groups remain close,” said the more recent report.
It included an assessment that al-Qaeda would not likely try to carry out direct attacks outside the country in the short term, “owing to a lack of capability and restraint on the part of the Taliban, as well as an unwillingness to jeopardize their recent gains.”
However, the report added that al-Qaeda “is considered a significant threat to international security over the long term.”
In his remarks at the White House on Monday night, Biden said that Afghanistan would never again be allowed to be “a terrorist safe haven because he [Zawahiri] is gone, and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens.”
“You know, it can’t be a launching pad against the United States,” he said. “We’re going to see to it that won’t happen.”
New Taliban Decrees Further Oppress Women: Stay Home, Cover Up

(CNSNews.com) - The oppression of women goes from bad to worse in Afghanistan, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), who has just submitted his 56th quarterly report to Congress.
The new decrees include one requiring women to cover their faces and bodies while outside the home; and another one requiring female television presenters to cover their faces while on the air.
SIGAR notes that the newly imposed restrictions follow the Taliban's refusal to reopen secondary schools (grades 7–12) for girls and recall the Taliban’s repressive rule in the 1990s.

Women mandated to cover themselves
According to the report:
"[T]he Taliban's Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice decreed on May 7 that women must cover themselves completely when in public.
"The decree said that while women were not specifically mandated to wear the Afghan all-covering burqa if they were required to go outside, the burqa was preferable to a loose-fitting hijab or covering.
"The decree went on to say the 'best' hijab is not to leave the house at all. It further stipulated that the male relatives of women who failed to cover their faces in public would be subject to punishments including jail time or dismissal from government jobs."
Women in media
SIGAR reports that the Taliban issued a new mandate on May 19 requiring women in media to cover their faces while broadcasting.
"Women media members initially defied the amended decree and appeared on May 21 without face coverings," the report continued:
"Following Taliban warnings that they would lose their jobs for noncompliance, the women presenters covered their faces on-air the next day. Male employees of Kabul-based TOLOnews also covered their faces in solidarity with their female colleagues.
"The news station said it would follow Taliban mandates, but contended that virtual representations of women should not fall under the hijab decree. The Information and Culture Ministry, however, said the decree is 'final and non-negotiable.'"

Women should stay home
According to SIGAR:
"In conjunction with the mandate to cover, the Taliban are limiting women’s freedom of movement.
"In March, the group banned women from air and long-distance travel without the accompaniment of a male guardian (known as a mahram). Unable to board a plane, cross borders, or travel more than 48 miles from home without a male chaperone, women are now more likely to adhere to the Taliban admonition that they remain in their houses.
"Further media reports indicate women face harassment for using public transit without a male chaperone. Human Rights Watch has noted that these restrictions also hinder women seeking necessary health care, limit a woman’s ability to flee an abuser, and lower the number of employable adults in a household."
The report says the Taliban has "redefined the types of employment deemed appropriate for women, according to their interpretation of Islamic law."
"Women’s participation in the workforce had slowly increased from 14% of the working-age population in 1998 to 22% by 2019," the report said. "Even under the previous Afghan governments, a dearth of health-care workers and female teachers remained a significant barrier to achieving development goals. With access to education limited and with women pressured to stay home, it is unlikely these metrics will improve under the Taliban."
SIGAR notes that with women and girls largely excluded from employment opportunities and access to education, local media report more forced marriages, including the marriage of underage girls."
U.S. investment in Afghan women and girls
In 2001, when President George W. Bush ordered troops into Afghanistan, the U.S. made the rights of Afghan women and girls a reconstruction priority.
As the SIGAR report noted, between 2003 and 2010, Congress appropriated $627 million for gender-focused programming. "SIGAR found that USAID, State, and DOD disbursed $787.4 million to programs focused on women and girls from 2002 to 2020. The actual figure is likely much higher, as many programs had gender-related components not reflected in this composite figure."
SIGAR credits the U.S. intervention for improving Afghan women’s health care, education, and job opportunities between 2002 and 2021 and decreasing maternal mortality rates.
But those days are gone. Conditions for Afghan women began deteriorating as soon as President Joe Biden pulled all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan a year ago.
Biden later told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, "The way to deal with that [women's rights] is putting economic, diplomatic, and international pressure on them [Taliban] to change their behavior."
"We write to you today deeply concerned about the future of Afghanistan following the unjustifiable cancellation of secondary school for Afghan girls," the female senators wrote:
"While we are not surprised that the Taliban has once again dismissed the rights of girls and young women, we are alarmed by the implications of their decision for 50 percent of the population and the future of Afghanistan.
“To this end, we urge you to convey clear consequences to the Taliban for their actions, and take immediate steps to bolster support for Afghan women and girls."

Pakistan’s Minister of Health: Populate the World with Muslims
Pakistan’s economy cannot sustain its population. But instead of a massive campaign encouraging birth control, and providing free contraceptives, or even of mandating smaller families the way that China did with its “one-child policy,” the Pakistani Minister of Health is encouraging Pakistanis to migrate to non-Muslim lands, and once there, to procreate to their heart’s content, demographically conquering, little by little, these countries and their indigenous Infidels.
A report on the Pakistani Health Minister’s plan is here: “An ‘out of Pakistan’ solution for population control—produce kids in non-Muslim nations,” by Akansha Sengupta, The Print, July 20, 2022:
Minister of Health and PPP member Abdul Qadir Patel Monday offered an ‘out of Pakistan’ solution to the population problem—couples wanting more kids should leave the country and add to the Muslim population in nations where they are in minority.
At a seminar in Islamabad, the minister said that by 2030 the population of Pakistan is expected to cross 285 million. “We do not want to decrease the Muslim population. We want Muslims to be better, more educated and provide them with better health care facilities,” he said.
Population is a big reason for Pakistan’s troubles, especially when it remains fragile and debt-ridden. According to a UN projection, Pakistan is set to see a 56 per cent population increase by 2050, which amounts to over 366 million people.
A recent Dawn editorial titled The population bomb highlighted the seriousness of the issue: “We are fighting a losing battle, slipping inexorably towards a dystopian future where want and deprivation will be our lot. The reason? There are simply too many of us: the pace at which Pakistan’s population is growing is fast outstripping our ability to provide for the millions that call this country home. Unbelievably, there still appears to be no well-thought-out and cohesive population control programme in the offing.”
The Pakistanis have already been moving in droves to Infidel lands, especially to the U.K., where there are now several millions of these economic migrants. Once in the U.K., they have managed to take advantage of all the benefits a generous welfare state provides: free or subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, family allowances, and more. In return, the Pakistani migrants have offered their British hosts the Grooming Gangs, made up largely of Pakistani sexual predators, who seduce and rape vulnerable young girls, and then pass them around among themselves for sexual pleasure. In this fashion the Pakistani grooming gang, have ruined the lives of tens of thousands of English girls, in dozens of cities, with Rotherham, Rochdale, Aylesbury, Oxford, Peterborough, and Newcastle being those most affected.. For years these grooming gangs were allowed to operate because the police were afraid to be tarred as “racists” if they went after these Pakistani criminals. As shadow women and equalities secretary Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham has said, Asian grooming gangs had been allowed to thrive because people were “more afraid to be called a racist than they are afraid to be wrong about calling out child abuse.”
Aside from the grooming gangs, the Muslim rates of criminality in the U..K. are unusually high. Muslims in the U.K. – most of them Pakistanis – make up 4.4% of the total population, but nearly 30% of the total prison population.
This plan of demographic conquest is not limited to the Pakistani Minister of Health. Many Muslims have spoken of this being the way that Europe may be conquered for Islam. Muammar Qaddafi told his followers in 2006 that “there are fifty million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest, and will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.
Before Qaddafi, there was Houari Boumedienne, the President of Algeria, who in a speech at the U.N. in 1974 was reported as saying: “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.“
And then there was, from yet another part of the Islamic world, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who in 2017 addressed Turks living in Europe, urging them to have at least five children, saying they are the future of the continent and that it would be the best response to the “injustices” imposed on Turkish expatriates there:
“Go live in better neighborhoods. Drive the best cars. Live in the best houses. Make not three, but five children. Because you are the future of Europe. That will be the best response to the injustices against you,” Erdogan said.
It’s not only Muslim political leaders who foresee the Muslim conquest of Europe through demography. Muslim clerics generally see the encouragement of family planning for Muslims in impoverished and overpopulated states as a Western conspiracy. “The West’s policy is about reducing our numbers,” said Hassane Seck, an imam from Senegal. “Because of their perverse promotion of contraception, women in Europe are no longer fertile, but ours are. There are going to be many more of us, and they’re afraid.”
Muslims are being told not just to “go forth and multiply,” but rather, “go forth and multiply and overwhelm the Infidels by sheer numbers, until Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere.”
Long before Health Minister Qadir Patel made his statement, Pakistanis by the millions had already moved to the U.K. where they have not only followed the command to “go forth and multiply,” but have gone a step further, to “go forth and multiply so as to conquer the Infidel lands through sheer numbers.” This demographic jihad has no limits. The aim is to ensure that Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere.
And so far, I regret to say, it’s working.
Boca Raton Mayor Signs Proclamation in Name of Mosque Linked to Terror and Anti-Semitism
Will Scott Singer continue to bow to radical Islam or will he rescind this award?
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).
The Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) has a long history of terror relations. From Hamas to Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) to al-Qaeda, ICBR’s widely chronicled links to terrorism are prolific. And the mosque’s attacks on Jews and Israel are well documented. So when a politician, like Boca Mayor Scott Singer, who is Jewish himself, grants ICBR a proclamation, residents should be outraged. Yet incidents such as this – the prizing and legitimizing of radical Muslim institutions with officially signed proclamations – are often underreported. That is why Mayor Singer’s contemptable action needs to be exposed, and the proclamation, rescinded.
On June 30, 2022, Mayor Singer issued a City of Boca Raton Proclamation “to proclaim July 2022 as Muslim Heritage Month.” The document was enacted in the name of ICBR, making note of ICBR’s involvement in “community-service initiatives” and invitations to “neighbors and community and government leaders to participate and share in events.” The document further mentions ICBR’s founding in 1998. It is a significant mention, as those who founded the mosque in that year included persons with major links to Islamic terror.
One of ICBR’s founders was current ICBR Secretary Bassem Alhalabi. Alhalabi was an assistant to Sami al-Arian, at a time when al-Arian was actively developing a US infrastructure in Southwest Florida for Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a group that al-Arian would be convicted of providing material support to. Alhalabi wrote materials with al-Arian and even used al-Arian as a job reference, when he applied for a teaching position at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). In June 2003, Alhalabi was charged by the US Commerce Department with illegally shipping a $13,000 thermal imaging device to Syria. Alhalabi has also been arrested for assault.
According to the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF), an umbrella group for local radical Muslim outfits, including ICBR, Alhalabi was instrumental in getting Mayor Singer to issue the proclamation. Indeed, Singer has participated with and, on different occasions, posed for photos with Alhalabi. As well, David Steinhardt, the rabbi of the synagogue Singer is affiliated with, B’nai Torah, has a close relationship with Alhalabi, as the two have been involved in interfaith events together. Steinhardt has also been photographed with ICBR President Abdulrauf Khan, who has used his social media to promote Louis Farrakhan videos and to vilify Jews and gays.
Others involved in the founding of ICBR include former website developer for Hamas, Syed Khawer Ahmad, who taught classes at ICBR, and founding imam of ICBR, Ibrahim Dremali, who would later be arrested for marriage/immigration fraud and put on the federal no-fly list. Dremali’s replacement as ICBR imam, Muneer Arafat, once roomed with Ziyad Khaleel, the al-Qaeda operative who delivered the satellite phone used by Osama bin Laden to plan the ‘98 bombings of two US embassies in East Africa, and admitted in court that he (Arafat), himself, was a member of PIJ and had the goal of destroying Israel.
The seed money for the building of ICBR’s current mosque – $600,000 – came from the Global Relief Foundation (GRF), an al-Qaeda-related charity that was shut down by the US government in December 2001 and an entity that ICBR, itself, had donated nearly $17,000 to. According to the US Treasury Department, “The Global Relief Foundation (GRF), has connections to, has provided support for, and has provided assistance to Usama Bin Ladin, the al Qaida Network, and other known terrorist groups.”
ICBR has published violently antisemitic essays on its website. One, titled ‘Why can’t the Jews and Muslims live together in peace?’ described Jews as “people of treachery and betrayal” and “enemies” and spoke of a “Day of Judgement” when Muslims will “fight the Jews and kill them.” Writing in Salon.com, in 2001, Jake Tapper reported that then-ICBR spokesman Daniel McBride defended the essay “word for word” and also believed “Jews have ‘carried out chemical and radiational [sic] experiments on their prisoners, and taken organs from them for transplant into Jewish patients.’” The ADL declared the essay was “filled with poisonous anti-Semitic bigotry.”
Another anti-Jewish ICBR published essay, titled ‘The importance of al-Quds for the Muslims – and do the Jews have any right to it?’ stated, “[I]t is clear that the Jews have no right to the land, whether according to religious law or in terms of who lived there first and possessed the land… We ask Allaah to rid Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) of them sooner rather than later…”
Following then-ICBR congregant and physician Rafiq Sabir’s May 2005 arrest for allegedly conspiring to provide medical treatment to injured al-Qaeda fighters overseas, McBride, speaking on behalf of ICBR, called Sabir a “friend” and said that his organization would raise funds for him. Sabir would soon be convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
All of the above information about the Islamic Center of Boca Raton and its bigoted and terror-tied history should alert Mayor Scott Singer to the fact that he has made a grave error and compel him to rescind his proclamation immediately. ICBR presents both a danger to the community and to national security. By honoring this entity, Mayor Singer has bestowed ICBR with a mantel of legitimacy, which the mosque will undoubtedly exploit to continue in the promotion of its Islamist agenda. By not rescinding this decree, Mayor Singer will be officially endorsing the hatred and violence of others, including that of his own people.
Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Last May, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (“ISIS”) published a video of the execution of about 20 Christian civilians in Nigeria. As with many other such ISIS-type videos, the terrorists stood behind their bound and kneeling victims, before knocking them over and carving their heads off to cries of “Allahu Akbar.”
Before doing so, one of the masked Muslims, speaking in the Hausa language, said that the execution of these Christians was “to avenge the killing of the group’s leaders in the Middle East earlier in 2022.” This is apparently a reference to ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi—a man with a reputation for extreme brutality—who was killed last February during an airborne raid by U.S. and Kurdish forces in northwestern Syria.
The reader may be pondering how impoverished Christian civilians in Nigeria are connected to or responsible for the activities of U.S. and Kurdish forces in Syria. The fact is, Muslim terrorists are notorious for offering any number of pretexts—many of which border on the absurd—to justify their cowardly targeting and murdering of the Christian minorities in their midst.
For example, ISIS cited similar “grievances” to justify its grisly slaughter of 21 Christians—20 Copts and one Ghanaian—on the shores of Libya in 2015. An article in Dabiq, the Islamic State’s online magazine in English, titled “Revenge for the Muslimat [Muslim women] Persecuted by the Coptic Crusaders of Egypt,” claimed that the 21 Christians were slaughtered in “revenge” for two Coptic women who, back in 2010 and according to Islamic propaganda, were compelled by Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church to recant their voluntary conversion to Islam and return to Christianity.
Indeed, the late Coptic Pope Shenouda III, who was then nearly 90-years-old and immobile, was portrayed as “a U.S. agent, an abductor and torturer of female Muslim converts from Christianity, who was stockpiling weapons in monasteries and churches with a view to waging war against the Muslims and dividing Egypt to create a Coptic State.
The Islamic State also cited the 2010 bombing of Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad as a product of “revenge” for those same supposedly forced-to-reconvert-back-to-Christianity women in Egypt. Then, armed jihadists had stormed the Iraqi church during worship service, opened fire indiscriminately, before detonating their suicide vests, which were “filled with ball bearings to kill as many people as possible.” Nearly 60 Christians—including women, children, and even babies (pictures of aftermath here)—were slaughtered.
Nor is this blame-the-victim strategy limited to the Middle East. Speaking two days after a series of bombings rocked Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, 2019, killing 359 people, a junior defense minister said that the attack “was in retaliation for the attack against Muslims in Christchurch,” where an Australian man killed 51 Muslims in two mosques in New Zealand.
Two points give the lie to all such claims of Islamic “retaliation” due to “grievances”:
First, and as mentioned, what did the 20 Nigerian Christians recently slaughtered have to do with U.S. and Kurdish forces in Syria? What did the Iraqi Christians of Our Lady Church, or the one decapitated Ghanaian, have to do with the imagined crimes of the Coptic Church?
For that matter, what do Christians in the Middle East, Africa and Asia have to do with the secular West? Whenever the latter somehow offends Muslims—whether by publishing cartoons or launching military operations in Afghanistan—Muslims “respond” by terrorizing the Christian minorities in their midst. As such, what exactly do brown Sri Lankan Christians celebrating Easter have to do with a white man killing Muslims in New Zealand? Moreover, if the Easter Day attack was a form of retaliation, what explains the fact that Muslims bomb churches on virtually every Easter (most recently in Indonesia).
Which leads to the second point: since when did Islamic terrorists that regularly preach hate for the other ever need a reason or excuse to make the lives of non-Muslims, chief among them Christians, miserable? Since July 2011, for instance, I have been compiling monthly “Muslim Persecution of Christians” reports (published by Gatestone Institute). In virtually every one of these monthly reports, Muslims bomb, burn, or ban churches and generally terrorize Christians. Are we seriously to believe this is all due to Muslim “grievances” against the disempowered Christian minorities in their midst?
Even the Muslim terrorists who cite “grievances” often let out the truth behind their actions. For example, in 2021, Muslims videotaped the murder of yet another Christian, Nabil Salma, in the Sinai region. In the video, the terrorists falsely accused the Copt of building a church which was “cooperating with the Egyptian army’s and intelligence’s war on the Islamic State.” Yet, immediately before murdering Salma, the speaker standing behind him said this:
All praise to Allah, who ordered his slaves [Muslims] to fight and who assigned humiliation onto the infidels [this latter part was said while the terrorist contemptuously pointed at the bound and kneeling man before him] until they pay the jizya while feeling utterly subdued.
This, of course, is a paraphrasing of Koran 9:29, which commands Muslims to wage jihad against the “People of the Book—Christians and Jews—until they pay tribute and feel themselves utterly subdued. Note: the Koran does not cite any grievances against Christians and Jews—except, of course, for the fact that they are Christians and Jews, that is, infidels, who reject the authority of Muhammad, and are therefore the enemy.
In short, all “grievances” cited by those Muslims who terrorize already disenfranchised religious minorities in their midst are false and meant to “legitimize” the Muslims’ otherwise cowardly and atrocious deeds.
Last year, a Lund University study revealed that a majority of those convicted for rape in Sweden were either migrants or from migrant backgrounds, with nearly half of the convicts being people born outside of Sweden.
THE MUSLIM CULTURE OF VIOLENCE
Meanwhile, fifty people on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the Southern border so far this year, and there is no telling how many got across without being caught. Welcome to Old Joe Biden’s America.
REMEMBER THE MUSLIM INVASION SEPT 11 AND THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS
What could possibly go wrong? Border Report reported Monday that “a shelter for Muslim migrants opened over the weekend in Tijuana, the first of its kind in all of Mexico.” This is no small-time effort: “The Latino Muslim Foundation, based in San Diego and Tijuana, raised half a million dollars to make the facility a reality.” Meanwhile, fifty people on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the Southern border so far this year, and there is no telling how many got across without being caught. Welcome to Old Joe Biden’s America.
Khan’s London Suffers Most Sex Assaults in Decade, Attacks on Males Up 59 Per Cent
London is experiencing the highest number of sexual assaults for a decade, with attacks on males aged over 13 up by an astonishing 59 per cent.
Some 7,500 women told London’s Metropolitan Police they had been sexually assaulted in 2021, according to Home Office statistics reported by the BBC, with the number of police-recorded sexual assaults against men and boys aged 13 and over standing at 924.
“These record numbers are of great concern, as more rape victims will wait longer for justice,” commented Claire Waxman, London’s Victims’ Commissioner, in a social media post.
“Govt’s ambition of improving rape charges and convictions hardly seems achievable now, especially with record crown court backlog & a chronically underfunded [Criminal Justice System],” she lamented.
“We know sexual offences have been underreported in the past and we have been working hard to increase reports to the Met in order for us to investigate,” wheeled a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police in comments to the BBC.
“The public is rightly less tolerant of these crimes and are speaking out,” they added, appearing to try and feed the well-worn narrative that rises in serious violent and sexual crimes are never due to law enforcement failures or a breakdown in social cohesion, but merely a result of “more people coming forward” to report crime that was always there.
Notably, the figures released by the Metropolitan Police do not even provide the full picture for sexual offences in the British capital, as some attacks will have been reported to the City of London police, an independent force covering the Square Mile centred on the Bank of England, and the British Transport Police (BTP), which has responsible for law enforcement on much of the public transport network, both in London and nationwide.
PARIS (AP) – French authorities on Tuesday repatriated 51 women and children from the former Islamic State group-controlled areas in Syria, according to a statement from the national counterterrorism prosecutor´s office.
It´s the single largest return of women and children to France from camps in northeastern Syria since the territorial defeat of IS in March 2019. France saw more of its citizens leave to join the group than any other country in Europe.
Tuesday’s group was made up of 16 women, ages 22 to 39, and 35 minors, seven of whom are coming to France unaccompanied by adults. All but two of the women in the group are French citizens. Twelve women returned with their children and four of the women had previously agreed to the return of their children, according to the prosecutor´s statement.
Eight women were taken into custody for questioning and the other eight were detained on arrest warrants. The children were placed in the care of the child protective services attached to the Versailles Judicial Court.
One of the 35 minors is in police custody on suspicion of participating in activities of a terrorist criminal enterprise, according to the prosecutor´s statement. The minor will shortly turn 18, the statement said.
Many European countries were slow to allow the return of women and children for fear they would violently turn on their homelands. France, which saw more of its citizens join IS in Syria than any other European country and suffered multiple deadly attacks beginning in 2015, has been especially reluctant.
French authorities have insisted that adults, men and women, who fought with IS should be prosecuted in the country where they had committed crimes. Authorities also insisted on bringing back citizens and their children on a case-by-case basis, a long and cumbersome procedure that has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.
In December, a 28-year-old Frenchwoman with diabetes died in the Roj camp in Syria, leaving her 6-year-old daughter an orphan, according to the family´s lawyer, who had been requesting their return since 2019.
The orphaned girl was in the group of children repatriated on Tuesday, according to a statement by the United Families Collective, a group of families that has been campaigning for repatriations of women and children detained in the Kurdish-controlled camps of Syria and Iraq.
The United Families Collective hailed the government’s repatriation effort and urged the French authorities to continue bringing home children and mothers trapped in “inhumane” and “degrading” living conditions at the detention camps.
The collective said there were still 150 French children and their mothers trapped in the Roj camp.
“France must repatriated (them) as soon as possible (…) and close this shameful chapter in our history without delay,” the group’s statement said.
