MEMRI found a video of Dearborn, Michigan
Shi’ite Usama Abdulghani given at the Hadi Institute on June 16th.
Abdulghani, is the spiritual leader of the Hadi Institute and its associated K-5
school, said that according to hadiths every Muslim is supposed to dream about
the opportunity to engage in jihad against the enemy. He added that he hoped
his audience was raising their children with this concept.
The Justice Department announced on June 30th
that Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, New York, was arrested and
charged with attempting to provide material support and resources, namely
currency, to a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad (PIJ) also known as Al-Quds Brigades. The charge carries a
maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The criminal complaint states that Washburn is
a leader of the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), an
extremist organization formed in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on
Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023. DAMPL rejects the idea of peaceful protests
and engages in “direct action” — including acts of sabotage and property
destruction — in support of the Palestinian cause and against entities that it
associates with Israel.
“As alleged, Washburn repeatedly voiced support
for violence against Israeli civilians and attempted to provide material
support to the Palestine Islamic Jihad by sending cryptocurrency to an
individual who claimed to participate in its attacks,” said Assistant Attorney
General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “Those who aid foreign
terrorist groups will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
This is a follow up on a story we reported back
on September 26th, 2025, where Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman was found
guilty of plotting mass casualty attacks on multiple locations in the
Philadelphia region. ABC 6 Action News reported that Abdul-Rahman has been
sentenced to spend 20 to 40 months in prison.

MEMRI reported that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed who is
running for the Democratic US Senate primary nomination in Michigan, discussed
what he described as “foreign government” influence in American politics. In a
June 24th interview on the Ansari Podcast. He said that the
Democratic establishment fears that he will win the nomination because he is
“coming for the system,” under which the way to run campaigns is to take money
from special interest groups like American Israel PAC and then sell half-truths
to the public that are inconsistent because politicians are serving two
masters. Dr. El-Sayed said this after receiving almost 2 million dollars
from ActBlue, which investigators claim does not say no to foreign donations.

MEMRI caught a video of Ohio Immigration
Attorney Shayan Parsai given at California Usuli Institute as a Friday Sermon
on June 5th. In the sermon he claimed that Jews use the Wailing Wall
as a pretext to “sneak closer and closer to the Al-Aqsa Mosque” and are trying
to remove it. He asserted that the wall was never important in Jewish history,
and that Jews pray and wail there because they are digging beneath it in an
effort to enter the Al-Aqsa compound.

Yossi BenYaker posted on X that “an imam in
Alabama, Ragab Abdelmoneim of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville, openly told
his audience that Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through their
money and their blood in order to establish “the religion of Allah” in the
United States.
He claimed that victory over America is closer
than ever. This isn’t being preached in some remote village overseas. This is
being said openly on American soil.”
BenYaker asks, “At what point does this stop
being protected “religious speech” and become a national security threat? How
is he not arrested?”

The Detroit Free Press reported that Shia Muslims
waving religious flags and holding signs calling for justice gathered and
walked on Ford Road in Dearborn in a colorful display Sunday, June 28, that
marked Ashura, a holiday recalling the death of a leader whose message
resonates today with the faithful.
The procession started at Fordson High School, led by a group of young men who held red flags that read "Ashura," referring to the 10th day of the Islamic month of Muharram, when a revered leader who is the grandson of Muhammad, Imam Hussain, died in battle against an unjust ruler.

The CBC reported that in Regina, Saskatchewan,
the downtown, Regina City Jamia Masjid, obtained a permit to broadcast the
three minute call to prayer over the noon hour on Fridays, and this permit was
to stay in place until July 10th when the policy would be reviewed
by the police and city officials. However, the Mosque’s director, M. Anisur
Rahman, said it has been put on hold due to threats that were received after
the first broadcast.
Rahman claims the Muslim community is not
feeling safe after broadcasting the Adhan.
Canada has freedom of religion, he noted.
"We are not here like to dominate
anything, right … We are here to follow our religion. So there are other
religions also, right? And we have a religion of freedom in Canada, right? We
are free to follow our own religion."
UK
Great Britain News reported that a man from
Somalia, who is now a British citizen, has been charged with five counts of
attempted murder after a car hit multiple people in west London, the
Metropolitan Police has confirmed.
Timir Ahmed Mohamed, 34, of Grange Park,
Ealing, was charged after a car struck pedestrians on Ealing Broadway. Three
people were taken to hospital at about 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon after the
crash.
Beyond the attempted murder charges, other
charges include dangerous driving, failing to stop, failing to provide a
specimen of breath for analysis, and criminal damage. A law enforcement spokesman earlier said: “Due to the nature of the
incident, local officers were in contact with officers from Counter Terrorism
Policing London. He continued, "While investigators are keeping an
open mind as to any potential motive, the incident is not being treated as
terrorism.”
Many of England’s news sources are
dropping the name Muhammad when reporting this story, why is that?

Mohamed Ullah,
35 admitted threatening to “kill Jewish schoolchildren.” Ullah, is from
Hackney, east London, made the remark to Avani Hari on February 13, threatening
to “decapitate” the youngsters.
Ullah, who is
in custody, pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court to making a threat to
kill, as well as racially aggravated harassment on the same day.
He has also
admitted damaging a water dispenser and causing a flood at Homerton Hospital in
Hackney that day. Ullah first admitted the offences on June 5, but a judge
imposed a reporting ban as he denied three assault allegations from the same
day. Reporting restrictions were lifted on Friday after Ullah pleaded guilty to
assaulting a woman, Janet Chukwu, and prosecutors agreed to drop the other two
assault charges.
Judge Daniel
Fugallo ordered the probation service to make an assessment of dangerousness of
Ullah, before his sentencing hearing on August 5. The Defence lawyer told
Friday’s hearing: “The defendant at the time of the offending was about to be
discharged as a patient from a mental institution, and he has been assessed as
fit to plead.”
Ullah will
remain in custody until his sentencing.
The Daily Mail reported that a grooming gang ringleader
who was convicted of 30 child rapes reportedly cannot be deported - despite
being stripped of his British citizenship.
Shabir Ahmed, 73, a key figure in the Rochdale
grooming gangs, was released from prison on July 2nd. Ahmed was
jailed in 2012 for concurrent sentences of 22 and 19 years. Yet he was released
early after only 14 years.
Ahmed immigrated to the UK from Pakistan and his
British citizenship was revoked during his prison sentence - but he will stay
in the country thanks to a rule in the Immigration Act 1971. A clause protects
Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK before 1973 from removal.
Instead, he will be allowed to live in the
community under a number of curfews and exclusion zones.
He was one of nine men convicted of sexual
offences against multiple children, who they groomed at two takeaway
restaurants in Rochdale. Prosecutors identified Ahmed as one of the
ringleaders.
GERMANY

Spiked
Online wrote a story on a BILD news article, that revealed a secret German
intelligence report that stated that Islamists, and the Muslim Brotherhood in
particular, are focused on a long-term strategy aimed at ‘gradually
transforming social and political decision-making processes’.
Spiked
Online asked tough questions about the report being secretive. They wrote, “It
is difficult to know what’s worse: the threat posed by Islamists itself, or the
fact the German state wanted to keep this threat secret? By refusing to make
these insights public, the government implies that citizens cannot be trusted with
them.”
This
is a follow up to a story we reported on December 27, 2024. BBC News reported
that a court in Germany has sentenced 51-year-old Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen to
life in prison for an attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg in 2024, in
which six people were killed.
Taleb
Al-Abdulmohsen, a psychiatrist from Saudi Arabia, killed six people and
injuring hundreds, after he rammed a rented BMW into crowds at a historic
market in the eastern city of Magdeburg December 20, 2024.
Officials claimed that he had a history of anti-Islamic rhetoric and far-right sympathies. But Holger Muench, president of the federal criminal police office, said Germany had received a warning from Saudi Arabia as far back as 2023 about the defendant, which authorities investigated but found vague
