US and Israel vs Iran
MEMRI reported that during and after the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, Oman – one of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which were all attacked by Iran with missiles and drones – adopted a conspicuously pro-Iranian stance. One example is, its statement congratulating Mojtaba Khamenei on his appointment as Iran's Supreme Leader, and from the understanding expressed by the Omani Foreign Minister, Badr Al-Busaidi, for Iran's attacks on the Gulf states. In an article in the British weekly The Economist, Al-Busaidi wrote that "Iran's retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbours was an inevitable, if deeply regrettable and completely unacceptable, result. Faced with what both Israel and America described as a war designed to terminate the Islamic Republic, this was probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership."
This pro-Iran stance was also evident in the Omani press. Articles in Omani dailies claimed that Iran has won the war and forced the U.S. to accept its terms for a ceasefire thanks to the successful deterrence strategy it adopted. Conversely, America's decision to start the war was hasty, reckless, and futile, they said, and thus revealed this country's political and military incompetence, as opposed to Iran's courage and resilience. The articles also accused the U.S. of leaving its Gulf allies, which host its military bases, alone in the fray and of extending its protection only to Israel. The articles therefore called on the Gulf states to reassess their relations with Iran, their strong Muslim neighbor, instead of continuing to rely on an untrustworthy Western defense umbrella.
MEMRI reported that an April 16, 2026 editorial of the Iranian regime mouthpiece Kayhan stated:
"The government of Bahrain has filed a complaint to the United Nations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, claiming that Iran is intervening in its internal matters.
First of all, Bahrain belongs to Iran, and the residents of that territory view themselves as Iranians; they speak Farsi and demand to be re-annexed to their motherland. Second, the 'puppet' rulers of Bahrain have allowed the land of this Iranian island to be used by America and the Zionist regime for military attacks against Iran. Thus, they must not only be ousted, but also tried and punished."
USA
7News Miami reported that a suspect in the case of a man opening fire on a woman at a shopping plaza in Coral Springs is 49-year-old Abdul Perez, who was her ex-boyfriend.
Detectives described April 16th’s afternoon shooting as a domestic incident as he had lived with his girl-friend 49-year-old Mirtha Sanchez-Teran for a year and the relationship ended a few weeks before the shooting. It unfolded in broad daylight in an alleyway behind the plaza.
Teenagers walking home from school took out their smartphones and recorded the terrifying moments when, Perez crashed head-on into his victim’s gray SUV while behind the wheel of a white van. The footage shows the suspect as he steps out of the van, walks toward the victim’s car. Seconds later, the first shot rings out, with the victim’s 17 year old daughter in the car, she was not hurt.
The victim is alive, and receiving intense medical care.
According to court records, Abdul Perez has a previous domestic violence arrest that prevents him from possessing or owning a firearm, which he did in this instance.
Fox News reported that Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers said his Democratic opponent, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, aka Abdul El-Sayed, has "no business" running for public office after seeing a video of him discussing the importance of having empathy for terrorists.
El-Sayed, a medical doctor and former Wayne County health director of the state of Michigan, is running in the Democratic primary for Michigan's open Senate seat in the 2026 midterms. He suggested during a town hall last summer that the United States should try to understand why terrorists commit such "heinous acts," suggesting those actions stem from a place of "pain and frustration and a level of lack of agency."
Mike Rogers stated, “It’s a scary world we live in where Democrats now make excuses for terrorists. And even more terrifying, it’s this level of radicalism that is propelling Abdul to the front of the primary." He also said, "These heinous comments are no surprise after he fundraised off of October 7, refused to disavow Hasan Piker saying that 'America deserved 9/11,' and called it a 'risk' to condemn a terror attack that nearly mass murdered 140 kids in our own backyard. It’s indefensible."
Usama we covered a story on Abdul El-Sayed on November 7th of 2025.
The Department of Homeland Security reported that Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a 26-year-old born in the United Kingdom, who was naturalized by the Biden Administration in 2022, brutally murdered DHS employee and public servant Lauren Bullis in Georgia on April 13.

Daniel Greenfield reported in Jihad Watch that the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been targeting the gaming platform Roblox and the children who enjoy spreading its memes since October of 2025. Specifically, CAIR is upset about a shark in sneakers and the children who enjoy spreading its memes on a gaming platform known as Roblox.
According to CAIR, the shark in sneakers is guilty of blasphemy for saying “porco Allah” or “Allah is a pig.” And so are the kids spreading memes of the shark, better known as “Tralalero Tralalá” chanting “Allah is a pig.” (It rhymes in Italian.) The children’s memes, known as “Italian Brainrot,” are big on absurdist rhymes that are meaningless to anyone who doesn’t speak Italian. “Tralalá,” the shark’s name, conveniently rhymes with “Allah.” It previously also describes god as a pig, but CAIR doesn’t object to that.
Greenfield continued, writing that, “worse still is “Bombardino Crocodilo,” a plane with a crocodile’s head, who likes “bombing Gaza.” In the original Italian, “non crede in Allah e ama le bombe,” doesn’t believe in Allah, but loves bombs. CAIR did not clarify whether crocodile planes should believe in the Islamic deity.” When CAIR claims that mocking Allah makes Muslims “unsafe,” the truth is that Islamic violence makes anyone poking fun at Islam extremely unsafe. Especially inside Muslim countries.
Daniel Greenfield stated that this is the kind of Islamic violence that Roblox could be exposing creators to by collaborating with CAIR. Many of those spreading the shark and crocodile memes could be children since 22% of Roblox users are under the age of 9, 23% are 9-12 years old, another 15% are 13-16 years old, while the remainder are adults. Those are the kids in the sights of the Islamists.
The Daily Mail reported that Iranian, Shamim Mafi, 44, was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night amidst attempting to fly to Istanbul, Turkey, and charged with allegedly brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition to be sold to Sudan, the US Attorney for the Central District of California said on Sunday April 19th.
Mafi left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent US resident in 2016 under the Obama administration, officials stated.
Shamim Mafi allegedly used Atlas International Business, an Oman-registered company, to broker weapons deals as recently as 2025, according to court records obtained by the New York Post.
One of Shamim Mafi’s sales included a contract for more than $70 million for Mohajer-6 armed drones made by Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. Those drones and 55,000 bomb fuses were transferred in deals with the Sudanese Ministry of Defense, which has been fighting in a violent civil war since 2023.
According to phone records included in court documents, Mafi had direct contact with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) between December 2022 and June 2025. During her time in America, Mafi has shared pictures of her living the high life, including an image of her posing in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz.
The prosecutor in the case states he has evidence that Shamim Mafi was acting in coordination with the Iranian government.
This is a follow up story to one reported on July 4th, 2025.
The Department of Justice reported that Ashraf Al Safoo, a Chicago man was sentenced April 16th to 25 years in federal prison for conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) by using social media to encourage attacks on ISIS’s enemies and recruit ISIS members.
Ashraf Al Safoo was a leader of Khattab Media Foundation, that swore allegiance to ISIS and created and disseminated threats and ISIS propaganda on social media. Al Safoo and other members of Khattab created and posted pro-ISIS videos, and more at the direction and coordination ISIS. Much of Khattab’s propaganda promoted violent jihad of ISIS, which had been designated by the USA as a foreign terrorist organization.
In one posting, Al Safoo encouraged Khattab members to post pro-ISIS information “to cause confusion and spread terror within the hearts of those who disbelieved.” In another posting, Al Safoo wrote, “Work hard, brothers, edit the issue into short clips, take the pictures out of it and publish the efforts of your brothers in the pages of the apostates. Participate in the war, and spread terror, the [Islamic] State does not want you to watch it only, rather, it incites you, and if you are unable to, use it to incite others.”
Al Safoo immigrated to the U.S. in 2008 and naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2013 under Obama.
Al Safoo, 41, has been in federal custody since his arrest in Chicago in 2018. This means he may be out in a few years having already served 8 years in prison, given that good behavior can create an opportunity for parole at half the sentence.
UK
The Daily Mail reported that an RAF cadet has been suspended after stating that Islam poses the greatest security threat to the UK while taking part in a training during a question-and-answer session in which he and other cadets were asked about dangers to British security. It led to him being kicked off the officer-training course, pending an investigation.
Retired Rear Admiral Chris Parry has since accused the air force of shutting down the ‘critical thinking’ of new officers around controversial issues and said the cadet should be reinstated.
Perry stated ‘If I’d asked that question and got that answer I would have also asked the cadet to expand on his thinking and got some critical thinking going rather than suspend him.’
Retired Rear Admiral Parry continued, ‘Clearly Islamic extremism is the issue and not Islam, but how are young people expected to develop critical thinking around these complex issues if they are shut down in this way? This is the fault of a system that is training its young people but not allowing them to express themselves and develop their thoughts. Any mature educational establishment should do just that.”
The Mirror has reported that Shaikh Abdullah al Faisal - who was booted out of the UK in 2007 after terror convictions - is still able to communicate with the outside world from his cell in a maximum-security prison in New York, over JPay, a secure messaging service used by loved ones to speak with inmates in some of America's most notorious prisons.
Shaikh Abdullah al Faisal, 62, is currently held in a New York penal facility as he serves an 18-year sentence for being an ISIS fixer. The firebrand jihadist - named in a Home Office report as having “strongly influenced” terrorist Germaine Lindsay. The Shaikh was deported from the UK in 2007 after serving a seven-year sentence for inciting murder.
US prosecutors described him as one of the "world's most influential English-speaking terrorists" after he was jailed for "drawing hundreds of recruits to terror". His disciples are said to include some of the world's most notorious extremists including shoe bomber Richard Reid, 52, and Zacarias Moussaoui, 57, the infamous 20th 9/11 hijacker.
Shaikh al Faisal was convicted and sentenced to 18 years in a New York State prison in 2023, but had been held since 2020 in the US, meaning he could be getting parole in 2032.
The BBC reported that a group of men have denied being part of a child sexual exploitation gang that raped teenage girls and supplied them with drugs. They are accused of being involved in a conspiracy to traffic teenage girls and supplying drugs in payment for sexual services the Crown Court heard on Monday, April 20th.

The prosecutor said the main abuser was Iqbal, a food delivery driver and drug dealer, describing him as a "predator who used and abused his victims".
The jury was told the girls had already taken cannabis and "were ripe for sexual exploitation". The prosecutor then shared that Iqbal persuaded them to come to his home and called his friends over.
"They took the girls as sexual commodities," The court heard that the accusations came to light after another man, Jaswinder Singh, 61, took Girl B to London where the alarm was raised.

Great Britain News reported that Abdullah Albadri, 34, a migrant from Kuwait, who is accused of planning a terror attack in Palace Green, Kensington, on April 28 last year, stood before the court in the Old Bailey on April 16th.
Catherine Pattison, prosecuting, said that at just before 6pm, Mr Albadri, armed with two knives and with a red and white scarf wrapped around his head and face, jumped on to an 8ft fence surrounding the Israeli Embassy and tried to enter the grounds. Ms Pattison said Mr Albadri was "almost successful in his attempt to scale the fence", and that had it not been for the armed diplomatic protection officers there to reach up and grab him, he would have been.
He later told police "that he wanted to send a message, to stop the killing of children, to stop the war", which prosecutors said was a reference to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the court heard. Jurors were told that police officers seized several pieces of paper, including one which "read as a martyrdom note".
Mr Albadri has denied that he was preparing to commit an act of terrorism. He added the knives were intended for "personal use" as he was homeless.
Mr Albadri first entered the UK in August 2021, arriving at Dover in a small boat from France.

PAKISTAN
Pakistan Today reported that a video of religious cleric and media personality Mufti Abdul Qavi has gone viral— and once again, not for a religious sermon, but for another scandalous reason as this time he has appeared at a rave.
The footage, which is circulating under the hashtag #halalrave, shows Qavi in his traditional attire standing in the middle of a party where a DJ is blasting music and the atmosphere is anything but conservative. One caption making the rounds reads: “When Mufti approves your raves.”
A social media user cautioned others, saying, "Don’t call him Mufti, he is fitna."
ISRAEL
(Gaza)
The Daily Mail reported that Gazans living under Hamas rule are beginning to break their silence, describing sexual abuse by multiple men, sexual blackmail for aid or money and abuse by people in positions of power.
The Daily Mail has obtained rare video testimony, filmed by Jusoor News from inside the Strip, where speaking out carries severe risk.
One Gazan man, who identified as being in the Qassam Brigades, confirmed this was the case with widows. He said he had told the leadership that some Qassam members were taking advantage of the 'wives of Martyrs' in a tent in the Gharabli area. He was ordered to keep it quiet. 'We told them it was an insult to our honour and dignity,' he said, and tore down the tent in anger.
This is just one of many accounts of sexual abuse and rape by Hamas agents and religious cleric in Gaza during the war against their own women, that were reported to the Daily Mail.
ALGERIA
Two suicide bombers detonated their explosive vests in Blida, Algeria, on April 13, 2026 — the very day Pope Leo XIV began his historic first visit to the country.
The attacks occurred approximately 40–45 kilometers southwest of Algiers. Both bombers were killed in the blasts. Several people were wounded, but there were no other fatalities.
Videos verified by AFP showed the bodies of the two suicide bombers at the scene near a police station. Algerian authorities attempted to impose a near-total information blackout on the incidents while the Pope was in the country.
International media had to rely on anonymous sources and verified social media footage to report on what happened. No group has yet claimed responsibility.
Some believe that these were not random or “baseless” acts of terror and claim that they were ideologically motivated attempts to strike at a high-profile Christian leader on what jihadists consider Islamic territory, or “Dar al Harb,” which translates to the World of War, any territory not yet conquered by Islam and under the Sharia.
NIGERIA
PM News reported that an unidentified northern Islamic cleric has publicly offered a 1 million Naira (approximately $742) bounty for the killing of a Christian cleric, openly calling for his beheading in a video circulating widely on social media.
The footage, obtained by PMNews, shows the cleric holding wads of cash while urging members of the public to carry out the act. He also promises to increase the sum if ₦1 million is considered insufficient.
“I swear to Allah, I promise ₦1 million to whoever beheads this man,” the cleric says. “If the person who wants to cut off his head feels the money is too small, let them go ahead and do it, I will increase the money.”
