MENACING MUSLIMS - THE ISLAMIC DEGRADATION OF WOMEN - India: Muslim Doctor, Despite Warnings, Harasses Hindu Medical Student Until She Commits Suicide

 

India: Muslim Doctor, Despite Warnings, Harasses Hindu Medical Student Until She Commits Suicide

"We demand an inquiry by a sitting high court judge into this murder.”

A bright young medical student, Dr. Preethi Dharavath, attempted suicide on Thursday, February 22, and after an ordeal of three days, was declared dead on Sunday, February 26. She was undergoing treatment at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad. As per reports, Preethi injected herself with anesthesia drugs after being harassed to the point of ending her life by a Muslim senior physician, MA Saif. Saif is a second-year MD student at Kakatiya Medical College. Preethi had experienced a multi-organ failure, and her condition remained critical throughout her treatment. The hospital announced on Thursday night that ECMO and CRRT were instituted to maintain her failing lung, cardiac, and renal functions. A multidisciplinary team of experts continuously monitored her vital signs until she passed away. Though the victim is said to have injected herself with a muscle relaxant, the police are awaiting the toxicology examination report to take the investigation further.

Though the incident occurred on the 22nd, police did not arrest the accused until Friday, February 24, after a delay of two days. The police have also cited harassment-related laws and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in this case. In addition, they have levied charges of abetment to suicide against Saif.

Commissioner A V Ranganath had earlier confirmed that the victim was persistently targeted by Dr. Saif, who also intentionally attempting to degrade her. The police accessed her phone, examined the discussions between the two and their group chats, and reviewed their conversations with each other and with other classmates, before concluding that the victim had been subjected to harassment.

After careful observations, Ranganath stated that the victim had been targeted since she joined the anesthesia department in November 2022. He asserted that Preethi was brave and challenged her seniors, which irked the latter. On February 18, Saif reprimanded Preethi for a specific incident through a private group chat. Reacting to his constant harassment, Preethi said she felt offended and asked Saif to mind his business. “You are trying to insult me. In case you have anything to say, you should tell my HoD,” she added. The authorities state that the inquiry had revealed several such occurrences.

Commissioner Ranganath also confirmed that the institution’s authorities had spoken with Saif and Preethi, and Saif was given strict warnings against such behavior. An additional investigation was also initiated. But none of these warnings were severe enough to stop Dr. Saif, and the continuous harassment ended with 26-year-old Preethi injecting herself with a muscle relaxant from an emergency supply box. “We think she attempted suicide. The last search on her phone is about what happens if a healthy person takes this drug. Doctors believe it was a cardiac arrest. We are awaiting the toxicology examination report in one or two days,” the commissioner disclosed.

A statement released by NIMS Medical Superintendent Dr. N Satyanarayana on Sunday evening said: “Despite continuous efforts by a multidisciplinary team of specialist doctors, Dr. Preethi could not be saved and was declared dead on February 26, 2023, at 9.10 pm.”

Hyderabad Police deployed a massive force around the area to prevent agitation and stop furious members of student organizations from storming the hospital. Nevertheless, several student organizations outside the medical facility organized protests, demanding justice for Dr. Preethi. Later, Preethi’s body was taken to her native town in the Jangaon district for final rites.

The last time Preethi spoke to her father, D Narender, was on the evening of the incident. Saif had forced her to work extra hours. The father had contacted the police and complained to the local sub-inspector the same evening.

The bereaved father stated: “Doctors said there was no improvement, and her health condition remained as it was when she was first brought here, and there was no chance that she would survive.” He recalled how she had broken down on the phone when detailing the harassment by Dr. Saif. “I think Dr. Saif’s harsh actions led to my daughter’s death. He murdered her. He should receive the strictest punishment. I am not satisfied with the investigation by the Warangal Police. We demand an inquiry by a sitting high court judge into this murder,” he said. Meanwhile, the accused has not only argued otherwise, but blamed the outcome of his irresponsible actions upon the “prevailing culture among juniors and seniors” in the medical institution.

Ex-Soldier Gets 45 Years Behind Bars for Plotting ‘Jihadist Attack’ on Unit: ‘He Betrayed the U.S. Military’

An ex-soldier from Louisville, Kentucky, will spend the next 45 years behind bars for planning an attack on other soldiers, the Hill reported Saturday.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) detailed the case in a press release on Friday:

Ethan Phelan Melzer, aka Etil Reggad, 24, of Louisville, pleaded guilty to attempting to murder U.S. service members, providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists, and illegally transmitting national defense information on June 24, 2022, before U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods, who imposed today’s sentence. According to court documents, Melzer planned a jihadist attack on his U.S. Army unit in the days leading up to a deployment to Turkey and sent sensitive details about the unit — including information about its location, movements, and security — to members of the extremist organization Order of the Nine Angles (O9A), a white supremacist, neo-Nazi and pro-jihadist group.

Woods described his crimes as “repugnant,” adding, “He betrayed the United States of America. He betrayed the US military,” he said in court moments before imposing the sentence, according to the New York Post.

Meanwhile, Melzer said he regretted everything, stating, “I wish I could say I’m sorry to my platoon.”

Per the DOJ’s news release, Melzer is a member of O9A, a group that espouses Neo-Nazi, antisemitic, and Satanic beliefs. The organization also “promotes extreme violence to accelerate and cause the demise of Western civilization” and has voiced admiration for Adolf Hitler and jihadists such as now-deceased former head of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden.

In May 2011, then-President Barack Obama (D) announced the United States conducted an operation resulting in bin Laden’s death, describing him as “a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.”

Melzer joined the Army reportedly in 2018. The following year, he deployed to Italy with the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. At that time, he consumed propaganda from several extremist groups.

In May 2020, Melzer was reassigned to a unit preparing for deployment. The unit was supposed to guard an isolated, sensitive military base.

During his training for the assignment, Melzer learned details about the base. He eventually started sharing that information with O9A.

“Melzer secretly used an encrypted messaging application to propose, advocate for, and plan a deadly attack on his fellow service members,” the DOJ’s press release said.


IRS Allows PFLP Terrorists to Fundraise Through Leftist Nonprofit

The IRS investigates waiters, but won’t touch Islamic terrorists.

[Order David Horowitz’s and John Perazzo’s new booklet: “Internal Radical Service: Abuse Of Taxpayer Dollars To Advance Leftwing Causes Illegally And Unconstitutionally”: CLICK HERE.]

Rabbi Eitan Shnerb was hiking to a spring with his son Dvir and his daughter Rina when the bomb went off. For a moment, as he described it in the hospital, everything went black. Then, badly wounded, he saw that the two teenagers were bleeding. Rabbi Shnerb was a trained paramedic. He saw that Rina, his 17-year-old daughter, had absorbed most of the blast. He kissed her on the forehead. And then he turned his Tzizit, the biblical garment that Orthodox Jewish men wear, into a tourniquet for his 19-year-old son to stop the bleeding.

 Dvir told his father that he couldn’t breathe and passed out. His daughter was already dead.

“I wanted to believe it was just a dream,” Rabbi Shnerb said from his hospital bed. “I have experienced several bombs in my life and been saved, thank God, but this one got us,..I immediately called to Rina, shouting ‘Rina, Rina,’ I looked down and saw that she was not alive.”

Rabbi Shnerb had stopped a terrorist attack earlier this year by two armed attackers. This time he had not seen the explosion coming.

The terrorist group behind the 2019 terrorist attack was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. And the IRS is accused of allowing it to fundraise through a leftist nonprofit group.

One name that keeps coming up in the Freedom Center’s investigations of nonprofits is the Alliance for Global Justice. AFGJ was spun off from the Nicaragua Network which had been set up to support the Sandinista Marxist terror regime. It went on to operate the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign in support of the narcosocialist Maduro regime in that country.

While the IRS has harassed pro-Israel groups and interrogated them about their views, it has apparently never found the time to ask the AFGJ about its support for enemy nations. It currently features a commemoration of Chavez’s legacy in support of a regime whose bosses are wanted criminals for their role in a cartel smuggling cocaine into the United States.

AFGJ’s backers include George Soros, Tides, the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, and other wealthy leftists, and it has used its status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to offer fiscal sponsorship to some of the worst of the worst close to home. The 130 groups it sponsors include several Black Lives Matter chapters, the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition in support of a cop killer, pro-illegal alien groups, as well as several brail funds whose mission is freeing rioters and criminals.

Some of these groups might not be able to obtain nonprofit status on their own, but benefit from the fiscal sponsorship of the Alliance for Global Justice.which allows them to accept tax-deductible contributions. When Refuse Fascism, a group linked by some to Antifa and which has defended Antifa violence, solicits donations, it does so using the Action Network, a platform utilized by both Antifa and the DNC, and directs tax-deductible donations through AFGJ.

The same is true of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network which asks supporters to direct checks to AFGJ. Samidoun does not bother to disguise what it is. It describes terrorists as “resistance fighters” and “martyrs”, and urges support for the “resistance”. The cheerleading for terrorists is accompanied by a call, “Make your US tax-deductible donation today, and donate safely and securely from around the world.”

The AFGJ states that, “Fiscal sponsorship services are offered to grassroots non-profits that agree with the AFGJ vision and mission statements.” Does that include terrorists?

After the murder of Rina Shnerb, Israel arrested members of a PFLP terror network embedded inside nonprofit groups. Israel designated Samidoun as a subsidiary of the PFLP terrorist organization. Multiple PFLP figures have been accused of serving leadership roles in Samidoun including its executive director, former vice chair, and multiple coordinators.

PayPal, MasterCard, Visa and other financial services have cut off access to Samidoun and the latest also cut off AFGJ. Currently, AFGJ and its various sponsorees warn donors that they can only take paper checks.

“AfGJ cannot accept credit donations—and neither can the 140 organizations that rely on AfGJ to provide them with fiscal sponsorship,” the leftist group cautions.

While AFGJ is running low on online sites willing to process donations to them, the IRS has yet to take any action. The Zachor Legal Institute, a pro-Israel group fighting BDS, filed an IRS complaint and directed a letter to the DOJ noting that the “PFLP has built a financial system supported by an infrastructure of the Seven PFLP Proxies who raise money on various humanitarian pretexts” while “directing money to the PFLP.”

And yet the odds of the IRS taking action are slim. Even though the PFLP was designated as one of the terrorist groups listed by President George W. Bush after September 11, it was less difficult for Zachor and conservative media to persuade financial services companies to stop processing donations for AFGJ than to get the IRS to enforce tax code regulations and the law.

AFGJ informed the IRS that its mission is to “achieve social change and economic justice”. In reality it has helped unleash violence at home and abroad. The beneficiaries include BLM’s Louisville Community Bail Fund which bailed out Quintez Brown, a Black Lives Matter activist, who walked into the campaign office of a Louisville political candidate and opened fire.

While payment processors have cut off the Alliance for Global Justice, the IRS has yet to act. After over two decades, the IRS has shown no interest in taking action even as the AFGJ continues to act as a fiscal sponsor for groups that would not qualify for nonprofit status. The fiscal sponsorship loophole continues to be abused to fund everything including terrorism.

The Freedom Center’s pamphletInternal Radical Service by David Horowitz and John Perazzo, has exposed how the IRS routinely allows leftist nonprofits to violate tax codes and the law. The fiscal sponsorship loophole is widely used by radical leftists to make illegal activity tax deductible. Tax code regulations state that “exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good”. They warn that, “violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3)” and that “planned activities that violate laws are not in furtherance of a charitable purpose”.

Terrorism is one of the most blatant possible examples of behavior at odds with the public good.

While the IRS is warning waiters to report their tips, it allows terrorists to benefit from tax deductible money. Payment processors have shown that they have a higher level of compliance with the law than the IRS. When the IRS refuses to enforce the law while demanding that everyone abide by it, that is a culture of lawlessness and, in this case, it’s costing lives.

Biden Admin Awards Grant to Palestinian Activist Group Whose Leaders Hailed Terrorist as 'Hero Fighter'

Community Development and Continuing Education Institute board members also applauded Hamas missile attacks on Israel

The Biden administration gave a $78,000 grant to a Palestinian activist group whose leaders attended an anniversary event celebrating the founding of a terrorist group and praised the murderer of a U.S. military attaché as a "hero fighter," according to a funding announcement.

The Community Development and Continuing Education Institute (CDCEI), an activist group based in the West Bank of the Palestinian territories, received the grant to promote "youth participation and accountability in local governance," the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced in November.

But an anti-terrorism watchdog group is raising concerns about the funding, after finding that the activist group's board chairman participated in a celebration for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group, while other board members lauded convicted terrorists as "heroes" and applauded Hamas missile attacks on Israel.

NGO Monitor, a watchdog group that investigated the CDCEI funding, questioned the federal government's vetting process for grantees. The news of the USAID grant comes as the Biden State Department has faced criticism from lawmakers for funding a Gaza-based journalist training program run by another charity, Fares Al-Arab, that has worked with terrorists and has promoted anti-Israel views.

"These findings reinforce the need for USAID to consult a wide array of publicly available sources when vetting potential grantees, to ensure that taxpayer funds are not provided to organizations led by individuals that glorify violence, espouse anti-Semitic rhetoric, or embrace anti-normalization," NGO Monitor said. "USAID grantees should align with U.S. goals and values."

USAID did not respond to a request for comment. CDCEI did not respond to a request for comment.

CDCEI is a "nonprofit organization established in Bethlehem in 2010" that "promotes the values of human rights, pluralism, equality, good governance, and civic participation within the Palestinian society," according to its website. But Arabic-language news articles and social media posts provide a different image of the group's leadership, according to an NGO Monitor investigation shared with the Washington Free Beacon.

Imad Al-Zeer, who has served as chairman of CDCEI's board of directors since 2012, in Dec. 2019 attended a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine event celebrating the 52nd anniversary of the terrorist group's founding, according to an Al-Hadaf news report translated by NGO Monitor. Photos from the event showed Al-Zeer posing next to Popular Front signs.

In social media posts, senior board members also indicated their support for terrorists.

Mike Salman, the deputy chairman of CDCEI's board, in an April 2, 2020, Facebook post translated by NGO Monitor praised "hero fighter" George Abdallah and called for Abdallah's release from prison. Abdallah is serving a life sentence in France for the 1982 murder of U.S. military attaché Charles R. Ray, as well as an Israeli diplomat.

"Together, with one another, to support the release of George Abdallah," wrote Salman. "One of the idioms used by the hero fighter George is 'I shall never compromise, I shall keep resisting.'"

In a 2021 post, Salman also celebrated six escaped Palestinian prisoners as "heroes"—including Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade terror chief Zakaria Zubeidi and a Palestinian Islamic Jihad member convicted of killing an Israeli teenager in 2006.

After the Israeli military killed five members of a Hamas terrorist cell in Sept. 2021, Salman wrote, "May Allah have mercy on the spirits of Palestinian hero martyrs, including the five martyrs that rose to the supreme companion yesterday."

Yasser Shaheen, a CDCEI board member, in a May 10, 2021, Facebook post translated by NGO Monitor applauded Hamas missile attacks on Israel as "rockets of the Palestinian resistance." He also mourned "hero martyr Omar Abu Layla," three days after Layla killed a rabbi and an Israel Defense Forces soldier.

Board member Jiries Abu Ghannam published a Facebook post in "solidarity with the prisoner fighter Marwan Al-Barghouti in his 19th year in Israeli prison." Barghouti is a convicted murderer who helped instigate the first and second intifadas.

Rana Abu Farha, another board member, in a post last March translated by NGO Monitor celebrated the "44th anniversary of Dalal Al-Mughrabi and 11 Palestinian revolutionaries' martyrdom" and praised the female terrorist as a "beautiful and brave fighter."

The post was a reference to Al-Mughrabi's 1978 bus hijacking and massacre of 38 Israelis, including 13 children. Al-Mughrabi also killed American photographer Gail Rubin, the niece of a then-U.S. senator, in the attack.

CDCEI isn't the only Palestinian group funded by the Biden administration to come under scrutiny in recent weeks. Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) sent a letter this week calling on the State Department to suspend funding to the Gaza-based charity Fares Al-Arab, following a Free Beacon report that found the group has worked with terrorists.

The group worked with the Hamas government as recently as 2021 on a housing project. The charity also gave a media award to a radio network run by the Islamic Jihad Movement, honored a self-described journalist who belonged to the Popular Front, hosted a press freedom event that featured a spokesman for Islamic Jihad, and co-led a human rights training course with a convicted terrorist.
