The Jewish Insider reported that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and other members of the squad along with Bernie Sanders endorsed New Jersey House Candidate Adam Hamaway who had a relationship with the terrorist mastermind known as Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka the Blind Sheik. In 1991 he took a road trip with the blind sheik to Detroit. Later Hamawy also worked as the sheikh’s translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing at his 1995 trial, where he was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.

In an interview in 1996 for the Newark Star-Ledger, Hamawy himself described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the “Benevolence International Foundation.” He said, “I worked in Sarajevo for 10 days and then the rest in Zenica, a large regional center in central Bosnia,” Hamawy, told the paper about the five weeks he spent with the organization. “We went out to hospitals around the area and in the mountains to check what supplies they needed and we tried to deliver them.” Benevolence International Foundation was a non-profit front “Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s” to provide financial and other support for Al-Qaida.

Fox News reported that Outrage erupted after a "Why Islam?" table sponsored by CAIR was present within a Texas high school, where they handed out Qurans, pamphlets about Sharia law and hijabs in February.

A counter-response surfaced outside Wylie East High School on Tuesday; a table stocked with Bibles, miniature Jesus figures and bracelets set up near the parking lot before school. Some participants also held signs reading, "Bibles Not Qurans," directly responding to the earlier Islam display.

The principal lost her job this week because she gave preferential treatment to Muslims including wearing a hijab on World Hijab Day. While she did not allow equal treatment by Christians.

The Jerusalem Post reported that on May 22nd a 15-year-old teenager was re-arrested in Florence for recruiting for the purpose of international terrorism after having previously been arrested for the same crime. According to the police, the teen had declared himself “ready to act” and received instructions on how to choose a target for a terror attack in chats with individuals linked to Islamist extremism.

The suspect was originally arrested for similar actions months ago and was held in a community detention center until he was released on probation. Shortly after his release, he once again began interacting with social media profiles used by members of the Islamic State, a jihadist terrorist organization active mainly in Syria and Iraq.


BELGIUM

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/05/23/uproar-as-paris-attacks-coordinator-mohamed-bakkali-granted-prison-leave

Euro News reported that A key member of a terrorist cell that carried out the November 2015 Paris attacks has been allowed multiple temporary prison leaves and could be eligible for conditional release. Mohamed Bakkali was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a French court in 2022 for his role in helping coordinate the deadly attacks that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more after gunmen stormed Paris' Bataclan theatre and suicide bombers struck across the city.

Bakkali, who was extradited to Belgium in 2018, was also sentenced to 25 years in prison in Belgium for his part in planning another attack on a Thalys train from Amsterdam to Paris. Belgian prosecutors told the press on Friday that a Brussels court had decided Bakkali could be temporarily allowed out of a maximum-security prison that opened in 2002.

The Brussels prosecutor's office said the court had made the decision "despite the prosecution's opposition," adding that "the prosecution has no right to appeal, and the decision is therefore final." The decision, allows Bakkali to leave prison six times for a day and a half day each time, has sparked backlash in both Belgium and France.

Thibault de Montbrial, a French lawyer and president of the Center for Reflection on Internal Security, wrote on X that "His prison releases and his possible upcoming release after serving one-third of his sentence are a slap in the face to the victims, to the investigators, and to the justice of democracies."

 

GERMANY

https://www.jpost.com/international/islamic-terrorism/article-897262

The Jerusalem Post revealed that Germany’s Federal Court of Auditors has exposed that the German foreign office had financially supported Islamic Relief Germany (IRD) until 2019. Islamic Relief Worldwide is an identified financial supporter of Hamas and is known an entity of the Muslim Brotherhood. In 2020 that support was suspended, and requests to reveal that information were refused until this week’s report was released. It revealed that the German foreign office had rejected a relationship with Islamic Relief in 2009, the report could not find a reason to have restarted the relationship.

The report revealed that the German foreign office had transported cash filled suitcases to Turkey. The report also states that it is highly possible these funds were used by the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or to finance terrorist attacks.

Bild reported that Zahra (22), was killed by her Afghan migrant, ex-boyfriend Farid A., whom she wanted nothing to do with. Farid claimed he had throat cancer in order to attain a meeting in a public place she believed would be safe.

But the numerous witnesses didn't deter the Afghan man from attacking his ex at Burger King in Magdeburg, he pulled a pencil from his pocket and stabbed the 22-year-old in the neck. But when the lead broke, Farid A. threw Zahra to the ground, knelt on her, and tried to strangle her. Other customers intervened and freed the young woman.

Farid received a lenient sentence of two and a half years after claiming he did not intend to kill her. That sentence was appealed and overturned Police who encountered the Afghan man shortly after the attack said, "After we informed him of his rights and offered him a lawyer, he said: 'I didn't want to let her live anymore. She's like an animal to me. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't care if I go to prison for 20 years.'" He has now been sentenced to serve 7 years.

https://www.memri.org/tv/brooklyn-sermon-masjid-taqwa-mamdani-wahhaj-nypost 

MEMRI reported that on November 7, 2025, an unknown Islamic scholar gave a Friday sermon at Masjid At-Taqwa in Brooklyn, where the Islamic Scholar criticized the New York Post for spreading "lies" against the mosque's leader, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, in an effort to prevent Mamdani's victory. He said that Muslims do not force people to convert, yet in some countries, in Canada and Europe, one out of every three or five newborn babies is Muslim, and in the UK, Muhammad is the most popular name.

The imam said that despite these efforts, Mamdani still won, and listed other Muslim officials such as Adam Alharbi, who was recently elected Mayor of Hamtramck, MI, U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan. He cited additional UK cities with Muslim "mayors," though most of these refer to the ceremonial title of Lord Mayor. The imam concluded that no matter what people say, "Allah is going to let His light come all over."

 

https://jihadwatch.org/2025/11/hamas-linked-cair-demands-an-apology-from-an-american-da-for-mourning-9-11 

On the day Hamas butchered Israeli civilians, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) blamed Israel; now it is demanding an apology from an American DA for mourning 9/11.

When Hamas gunmen swept into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, murdering, torturing, and kidnapping civilians, most Americans were horrified. CAIR, however, issued no words of sympathy for the victims. Instead, at 11 a.m. Eastern, CAIR’s national account on X posted its support for “the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation … which sparks the deadly violence that we see again and again, including today.” Soo they publicly supported Hamas without mentioning them.

Yet, when San Luis Obis-po County District Attorney Dan Dow reposted a message on social media expressing sorrow over the 9/11 jihad attacks, along with criticism of New York politician Zohran Mamdani’s far-left views, CAIR denounced him. Its press release accused Dow of “weaponizing anti-Muslim bigotry” and demanded a public apology, as well as a “probe” of Dow.

what do you think of this hypocrisy of CAIR?

 

https://www.fox9.com/news/minneapolis-man-sentenced-2013-assault-solved-years-later-through-dna-testing 

Mohamud Bulle, 36, has been sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for a 2013 attack solved years later when evidence was tested as part of an effort to clear a backlog of untested sexual assault kits.

A jury found Mohamud Bulle, guilty on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of kidnapping for the 2013 attack. He was sentenced on Wednesday to 187 months for the sexual assault and 48 months for the kidnapping, to be served consecutively, totaling 19.5 years. 

The backstory is that the attack occurred on Oct. 13, 2013, when Melissa Zimmerman became separated from her group at an event in Minneapolis. Bulle offered her his phone to make a call, and after she returned it, he pushed her into a ditch in a nearby park and assaulted her. A passerby helped her and called 911. Sadly, the evidence was not examined until 2020, and it came back DNA unmatched until 2024.

Townhall reported that a high-ranking member of Mamdani's transition team not only hates Jews, but also questioned gay rights in social media posts. Hassaan Chaudhary is the newly appointed political director for Mamdani's transition and inaugural teams, and was the director of Muslim engagement for the campaign.

Hassaan Chaudhary, who identifies himself as newly appointed political director for Mamdani’s transition and inaugural committee on LinkedIn, used the word “Jew” as a slur, and even praised former Iranian President Mahmoud Ah-ma-din-ejad, who infamously said Israel is “a cancer which will be eliminated soon.”

Chaudhary, who was the director of Muslim engagement for the Mamdani campaign, also described Israel as a “bloody country” and a “barbaric nation” in the posts — some of which date back to when he was 18 years old.

https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/gov-abbott-designates-muslim-brotherhood-and-cair-as-terrorist-organizations 

 KFOX14/CBS4 has reported that Texas has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.

This designation prohibits these groups from purchasing or acquiring land within the state, Governor Abbott announced on Tuesday, November 18th.

Additionally, it grants the Texas Attorney General the authority to initiate legal action to shut them down.

CAIR responded on Friday stating it had filed a federal lawsuit against Governor Abbott to block enforcement of the proclamation. This lawsuit will lead to CAIR being forced to open it’s books, which it previously dropped lawsuits because they would force discovery and expose CAIR’s foreign relations.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15297049/Rapis-escaped-deportation-compensation-electronic-tag-depressed.html (Yousif)

Mustafa Taskiran (48), a convicted rapist who avoided being deported for more than a decade could receive compensation because he claims an electronic ankle monitor made him 'depressed'. Lawyers are engaging in legal arguments over whether 'appropriate relief' should be given to the Turkish migrant. This complaint came after he confessed to stalking and threatening to kill a woman with a knife. Taskiran is expected to be sentenced this month for that crime. 

He told the court that the tag caused him 'intense physical and mental distress' due to its heaviness and discomfort. But this comes after decades of crime - beginning four years after the Turkish man was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 1994. Over the course of 10 years he went on to commit 54 offences, but escaped a deportation order in 2009.

In 2014, he was sentenced to six years behind bars for rape. Following his release in 2018, Turkish authorities revoked his nationality and declined to release travel documents, meaning another deportation attempt had failed. 

Taskiran was then ordered in 2018 to wear a 24-hour electronic ankle monitor while he is on immigration bail. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said he does not care about the migrant's 'so-called depression'.  A Home Office spokesperson said: 'When foreign nationals commit serious crimes we do everything in our power to deport them.'

A Muslima daughter of Bangladeshi migrants, refused to wear the veil to cover her head at the age of 14. The 50 year old father had been charged with abuse of means of correction and discipline. The man frequently beat his 14-year-old daughter with a stick and a belt (on more than one occasion, he threw a chair at her) and severely berated her "for not wearing the headscarf," also complaining that she had cooked poorly. He denigrated and insulted her using vulgar epithets and prevented her from associating with her classmates. The female body was at the center of this battle between father and daughter.

Among the many violent episodes, on December 19, 2022, there was an assault by the father after which the 14-year-old ended up in the hospital. The 50-year-old, seeing the daughter leaving the house without wearing the veil and leaving her hair free and visible, he lost it. He grabbed his daughter, by her hair, punched her in the back, and injured her hands with a fork. This caused abrasions and swelling, and pain in her jaw, and scratches on the face and hands.

The court ordered this week, the man whose name is protected, to serve a 9-month perform community service at ANFFAS during that period) and ordered to pay the young woman €2,000 in damages. She was removed from the home on December 19, 2022.

The Jerusalem Post reported that an alleged Hamas operative was arrested in Germany on last Thursday for transporting weapons for a cell that planned to attack European Jewish and Israeli sites, according to the German Federal Public Prosecutor office, and is the sixth suspect accused of being part of a multinational network.

Mahmoud Z. was arrested on a train in Flensburg after entering Germany from Denmark and being charged with multiple firearms violations.

The Lebanese-born man allegedly received weapons and ammunition in Hesse from alleged Hamas operative Borhan El-K., and transported them to alleged Hamas operative Wael FM in Berlin. Through Mahmoud Z., fellow Lebanese national Wael and his cell received in August a Kalashnikov automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols, and 600 rounds of ammunition. Four others were arrested in London the previous week.

WAZ reported that around four years ago, a twelve-year-old girl from Syria was married in Essen to a then 20-year-old Muslim man. To ensure there would be no problems on their wedding night, a woman from Gelsenkirchen was allegedly brought in. Now, the 24-year-old is on trial in Essen.

The prosecution believes that the defendant took the young girl aside in December 2021 to inform her about the upcoming wedding night. He allegedly told the twelve-year-old that she could watch everything on the video platform YouTube. There were photos and videos there showing what would happen. The fact that this would involve impending child abuse was apparently of no concern to the man almost twice her age.

After the child marriage came to light, he was sentenced to five and a half years in jail for rape, child abuse, and assault. He confessed to these crimes.

Now, he is accused of another child marriage. He is alleged to have married a 13-year-old girl before marrying the 12-year-old. This girl is also alleged to have been raped.

MEMRI reported that Tehran University Professor Foad Izadi discussed Zohran Mamdani's victory in the New York mayoral race in a November 6, 2025 interview with Khatenergy.ir (Iran). He said that the message of the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran was that it is possible to confront the United States by means of the youth, and that this has now become reality with Mamdani's election. Izadi added that Iran's role "should not be underestimated," since without the "two-year genocide" in Gaza, Mamdani would not have become mayor. He praised Mamdani as "freedom-loving" and described a meeting with Mamdani's father, Professor Mahmood Mamdani, in New York, where Mahmood recalled being chastised for failing to revere Ayatollah Khomeini enough. Izadi said Mamdani's election is especially significant because a pro-Palestine figure was elected mayor of "the most Zionist city" in the U.S., calling it "a vote of defiance" against New York's Zionists. Izadi himself studied in the United States, graduating from the University of Houston and Louisiana State University.

SAMNYTT reported that claims of “starving Palestinians” during the last 2 years is in conflict with data collected by the UN. According to UNICEF data in the report, 28 percent of Palestinian children aged 5-9 are overweight compared to 23 percent in Israel. Among 10-14 year olds, it is 33 percent compared to 28 percent of Israelis, and at 15-19 years old, the gap widens further to 32 percent overweight among Palestinians compared to 19 percent among Israelis.

Obesity is not just a problem for children. Using data from the Global Obesity Observatory and related nutritional profiles, it is noted that if “Palestine” were ranked as a country, it would be among the world’s most obese societies, with an adult obesity rate of 40 percent, far above Israel’s approximately 23 percent.

Police in Nigeria’s north-central Niger State reported that a group of armed bandits invaded a private Catholic school early on Friday, abducting an unknown number of students from their hostels amid widespread outrage over ongoing concerns about violence against Christians in the West African nation.

The Strait Times reported that Nigeria has grabbed global headlines again following a spate of attacks by gunmen involving the kidnapping of dozens of students from two schools and a deadly assault on a church service.

This week's incidents have piled more pressure on the Nigerian government following U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of military action over the alleged persecution of Christians in the West African nation.

No one has publicly claimed responsibility for the assaults, although the perpetrators of the raid on Tuesday appear to belong to an armed gang motivated by ransom money.

The attacks are indiscriminate and follow a similar pattern. Gangs known locally as bandits and brandishing guns, arrive, shoot sporadically to scare people, abduct victims and vanish into nearby forests.
