REMEMBER, THEY'RE ISLAMIST FIRST, DEMOCRATS SECOND, AND AMERICANS NEVER!
Like Christianity, Islam is a global religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam imposes an imperial global vision on true believers and denies them freedom of thought and movement.

Orlando, Florida-based Democrat operative and Rashida Tlaibstaffer Rasha Mubarak has a soft spot for bloodthirsty terrorists.She uses her claim of “Palestinian heritage” to make common cause and to glorify them, justifying suicide bombings and aiming rockets at Jewish civilian neighborhoods. Last month,her affinity towards murder and mayhem was displayed in her retweeting of a Hamas media site celebrating the hunger strike of a Hamas terrorist. Mubarak’s notable and influential position in politics demands this information be exposed.
Hamas or the Islamic Resistance Movement was founded in 1987, during the first Palestinian Intifada, a violent uprising against Israel. According to its covenant, Hamas opposes Israel’s existence in any form. The group believes its (untenable) goal of replacing the Jewish state with one that practices Islam can only be achieved through violence, and it has been responsible for the murders of hundreds of Israeli civilians. Since 2007, when the group expelled the ruling Fatah Party, Hamas has had de facto control over the Gaza Strip and rules over the citizens of Gaza employing torture and capital punishment, while offering no recognition of civil rights.
Hamas has a number of media affiliates. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), one of them is the Quds News Network (QNN). QNN refers to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militants as “freedom fighters,” promotes Hamas rallies, mourns Hamas deaths, publishes Hamas statements, and this past May, produced a video honoring the “achievements” of Hamas and PIJ in advancement of tactics and weapon technologies. In November 2019, Twitter suspended QNN’s account, following a letter sent by members of US Congress to social media outlets asking to remove all entities linked to Hamas and Hezbollah.
On November 6th, Rasha Mubarak retweeted a post made by QNN in praise of a Palestinian hunger-striking prisoner, Fatah member Kayed Fasfous, for standing with fellow hunger-striker, Hamas member Miqdad Qawasmeh, who has a page devoted to him on Hamas’ official website. The tweet depicts Fasfous in a hospital bed next to a photo of Qawasmeh. Both were detained, according to Israel, to prevent terror attacks. Militants held in Israeli jails stage hunger strikes and use sympathy-grabbing photo ops from Israeli hospital beds to gain early releases. QNN ended the post with “#FreeThemAll,” QNN’s call for all Palestinian terrorists to be set free.
Less than a week later, Mubarak celebrated Qawasmeh’s negotiated release from prison with a Twitter post of him smiling from another hospital bed, Mubarak stating “God is great.” The deal has the Hamas member getting out in February2022. Mubarak then added her own “#FreeThemAll.” In November 2020, Mubarak did the same, when she tweeted a graphic of then-jailed PIJ leader Maher al-Akhras (also in a hospital bed) with the caption, “FREE THEM ALL.”
Mubarak’s support for terrorists is not just limited to those on hunger strikes in hospital beds.
In August 2014, at the end of the 2014 Gaza War, along with photos of a jubilant Hamas, who had bizarrely just declared victory over Israel, Mubarak tweeted, “Thousands of people celebrating in the streets of Gaza for the victory. Alhamdulillah. #VictoryForGaza.”
In June and July 2020, Mubarak posted memorials onto her Twitter and Facebook pages for car-ramming terrorist Ahmed Erekat, who was shot and killed after attempting to run over a female Israeli border officer, at a checkpoint east of Jerusalem.
This past March, Mubarak tweeted a video honoring deceased Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) spokesman Ghassan Khanafani as a “martyr.” Khanafani was responsible for the May 1972 Israel Lod Airport massacre, which left 26 innocents dead, including 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico. On the video, Khanafani is adamant about the fact that his group refuses to engage in any peace talks with Israelis, even if lives would be saved as a result, saying it would amount to “capitulation.”
And on September 11th, a date most hold in contempt for terrorists, Mubarak once again shilled for operatives from PIJ, when she wrote admiringly of the six widely reported mostly PIJ Palestinian prisoner escapees from an Israeli jail. She stated, “The Palestinian diaspora is grieving today as a total of 4 of the 6 Palestinian political prisoners from #thegreatescape were detained. Nonetheless, the hope these 6 Palestinian freedom fighters have offered us, will not be short lived – we will resist to exist.”
Though support for terrorists from someone living in the United States is no doubt a problem, an even greater problem is the fact that Mubarak harbors these views while holding positions of political influence. Indeed, Mubarak has served as a National Committeewoman for the Democratic Party and the Finance Director for US Representative Rashida Tlaib. Regarding Tlaib, Mubarak’s consulting firm, Unbought Power, has received $140,000 from the Congresswoman, nearly $70,000 of that coming from this current election cycle. Tlaib has even told Mubarak that she – Mubarak – is, one day, going to run for political office, herself.
There is zero chance that Representative Tlaib will do anything to halt Mubarak’s actions, as Tlaib has been cited and continues to engage in similar acts. Regardless, Mubarak’s behavior should be seen as anathema to the Democratic Party.Unfortunately, the party has trouble speaking out about Tlaiband even throws its support behind her, so why would it do so against her staffer? Consequently, this author is left to continue to sound the alarm on Mubarak’s extremism, in hopes that, one day, the party wakes up and does the right thing. And given that Mubarak is being groomed for political office by Tlaib, exposing these evils is even more crucial.

Egyptian Scholar Asks Reasonable Questions about Islam, Gets Arrested
According to a Nov. 19, 2021 report, "an Egyptian court sentenced an 80-year-old-intellectual earlier this week to five years in prison over his remarks on the early Islamic conquests." Ahmed Abdu' Maher, a high-profile lawyer, expert on Islam, and author of fourteen books on Islamic history and jurisprudence, was found guilty of "contempt of Islam, stirring up sectarian strife and posing a threat to the national unity."
One of Maher's chief "crimes" is his view on the seventh- and eighth-century Arab conquests — a view based on a close and correct reading of both Muslim and non-Muslim sources: that Arabs conquerors invaded non-Muslim regions — specifically the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain — and engaged in atrocity after atrocity; that, while "spreading Islam" was the motive Islamic later historiography attributed to the Arabs, their true actions belied a lust for rape and rapine; and that they overthrew and supplanted much more advanced societies, to the region's lasting regret.
Put differently, Maher's views are identical to those presented in Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West, particularly its first three chapters, which focus on the early Arab conquests. As the Nov. 19 report continues:
Maher claimed in many of his speeches, writings, and TV appearances, that the early Islamic conquests were "military invasions", and called on Egypt's top Islamic institution — Al-Azhar — to apologise on behalf of the Prophet Muhammad's companions who led the raids. According to Maher, those "invasions aimed to enslave women rather than spread Islam" around the world.
Maher's position naturally goes counter to the mainstream Islamic presentation of the early Arab conquests, which are referred to as futuhat — literally, "openings" for the light of Islam to enter (or fatah in the singular, as the Palestinian group tellingly calls itself). In this context, every land ever invaded or seized by Muslims was done "altruistically" to bring Islam to wayward infidels, who are seen as the aggressors for unjustly resisting Islam. Or, in the words of an article titled "The Wisdom of Jihad," published by Islam Question and Answer, jihad does not "only and simply mean to kill non-Muslims"; rather, "[t]he kuffaar [non-Muslims] whom we fight will themselves benefit from jihad. We strive against them and fight them so that they will enter the religion of Allah which is acceptable to Him, which will lead to their salvation in this world and in the Hereafter."
Maher made his position especially well known back in early 2017, when the Muslim world was in an uproar after the announcement of President Donald Trump's "Muslim ban" (as referred to by Trump's woke enemies). Then, Maher had posted a video on YouTube (since removed, naturally, though not before I had translated relevant excerpts, which follow):
Friends, in regards to ... Donald Trump, we wanted to ask our brothers — the fuqaha [jurists of Islamic law] and the ulema [scholars of Islam] — a question: if this man ... were to coerce, through the power of arms, the greater majority of Muslims living in America ... to become Christians, or pay jizya, otherwise he takes over their homes, kills their men and enslaves their women and girls, and sells them on slave markets; if he were to do all this, would he be considered a racist and a terrorist or not?
Of course, I'm just hypothesizing, and know that the Bible and its religion do not promote such things, but let's just assume: Would he be a racist or not? Would he be a terrorist or not? How then [when one considers] that we have in our Islamic jurisprudence, which you teach us, and tell us that all the imams have agreed on, that the Islamic openings [i.e., conquests] are the way to disseminate Islam? This word "openings" [futuhat] — we must be sensitive to it! The Islamic openings mean swords and killing. The Islamic openings, through which homes, fortresses, and territories were devastated, these ... [are part of] an Islam which you try to make us follow.
So I wonder O sheikh, O leader of this or that Islamic center in NY, would you like to see this done to your wife and daughter? Would you — this or that sheikh — accept that this be done to your children? That your daughter goes to this fighter [as a slave], your son to this fighter, a fifth [of booty] goes to the caliph and so forth? I mean, isn't this what you refer to as the Sharia of Allah? ... So let's think about things in an effort to discern what's right and what's wrong.
Simply put, Maher asked the clerics of Islam what, precisely, they were complaining about. All that Trump had done is ban immigration from Muslim nations closely associated with terrorism. What if he actually treated Muslims in America the way Muslims have always treated non-Muslims under their authority — the way Islamic law, sharia, demands — that is, in a manner far worse than simply banning immigration from terrorist nations in the interest of self-preservation?
For having such views and asking such questions, Maher has just been sentenced to five years in prison — the maximum penalty — in accordance with Article 98 F of the Egyptian penal code, which states:
Detention for a period of not less than six months and not exceeding five years, or paying a fine of not less than five hundred pounds and not exceeding one thousand pounds shall be the penalty inflicted on whoever exploits and uses the religion in advocating and propagating by talk or in writing, or by any other method, extremist thoughts with the aim of instigating sedition and division or disdaining and contempting any of the heavenly religions or the sects belonging thereto, or prejudicing national unity or social peace.
Nor is Maher's case an aberration; as the Nov. 19 report says, "[s]everal other intellectuals, writers, and public figures have stood trial or received verdicts over the past few decades for their views under the infamous anti-blasphemy law."
On Nov. 29, Maher appeared on BBC Arabic. He refused to offer an apology, insisted that all he had done is relay history and ask commonsensical questions, and urged Egyptian president al-Sisi — now his only hope, as Maher's recent five-year-imprisonment sentencing is final and cannot be appealed before a higher court — to consider pardoning him.
As obscene as Maher's experiences are, it's worth noting that something similar is happening in the West, though in reverse: whereas Muslim nations insist on portraying their brutal and savage heroes of the past as noble and pious, Western nations insist on portraying their noble and pious heroes as brutal and savage (or just "racist"). As Western governments become more third-world dictatorial — and as their war on history becomes more uncompromising — look to see elements of Maher's fate surfacing in the West.

In today's election, yours is a choice between freedom and globalism
I know something about both freedom and globalism. What I know is that you cannot have both, which is why I immigrated to America, the world's last stronghold of freedom.
In the way of background, I grew up in a prominent Muslim family in Egypt and became an imam at an early age. Like Christianity, Islam is a global religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam imposes an imperial global vision on true believers and denies them freedom of thought and movement.
Progressive globalism does much the same. Although Islam and progressivism would seem to have nothing in common, they do share one overriding goal: the need to crush traditional American Christianity, the one obstacle to world dominance in either case. At some point, Islam and progressivism will part ways, but for now, they are content to "coexist."
Progressive leaders turn a blind eye to the slaughter of Christians at a church in France or the shooting of a priest in another church or the beheading of a French teacher for daring to show a picture of Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. In countries like France, leftists have been responsible for as much church vandalism as Muslims, maybe more. For now, the left and Islam are allies. The result of the failed immigration policies and the rabid push of atheism by most European governments has made their combined mayhem possible.
The mayhem has been papered over with lies, which is why Joe Biden makes such a perfect front man for the global elites. Biden has lied about almost everything in his life. Where to begin?
Biden lied about his undergraduate degree and his majors, lied about his rank in law school, lied about scholarships and educational aid he had received, lied about his stance toward the Vietnam war while in college, lied about his plagiarism of other politician's writings and speeches, lied about the circumstances around his first wife's fatal accident, lied about how he met his second and current wife, and lied about the affair they were having when they were both married.
Joe Biden is the embodiment of the dark side of American politics.
When the Vietnam war ended, and our troops needed funding to evacuate gracefully, Joe Biden stood in the way. His obstruction led to Saigon's fall and the disgraceful flight of American troops and personnel off the American embassy's rooftop in Vietnam.
When President Ford pleaded with Congress to help the Vietnamese refugees, the ones who were aiding Americans during the war, Joe Biden stood in the way. Even though many of these refugees were orphan children, Joe Biden called them criminals and prostitutes on the Senate floor.
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and bribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.
Biden has lied about so much that I am not sure if he ever told the truth or is now even capable of doing so. Thanks to Big Tech's and Big Media's suppression of his record, he can present himself as a man of character and high morals. We must feel sorry for the multitude of gullible Americans who believe him.
Do not be a fool and believe for a second that the elites hate Trump because of his tweets or because he is allegedly a sexist, a rapist, a racist, or a foreign agent. Nor do they hate him because of the pandemic death toll.
In reality, the elites hate Trump because of "YOU," because you elected a man they did not nominate and could not control. I have never seen global anticipation for an American election like this one. The world is watching. The progressive and Islamic elites are pulling for Biden, but lovers of freedom all over the world are quietly cheering for Trump. If you have yet to vote, be sure to vote today and give them something to cheer about.
