Islamist rebels backed by Turkey abruptly toppled Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad on Saturday, ending a 50-year family dynasty in a little over a week. After a decade-long civil war, a coalition of jihadist groups captured Syria’s second-largest city, Aleppo, last weekend before advancing rapidly south with swelling ranks. To everyone’s surprise, the rebels arrived in Damascus on Saturday, hours after Assad secretly fled the country.
With his generals planning to hand over power peacefully, Assad escaped Syria, skipping a prepared address to the nation and leaving his cabinet with no idea of his whereabouts. Hours later, he turned up in Moscow with his family, where they received political asylum. The Russian foreign ministry announced that Assad had resigned and that his prime minister would facilitate a peaceful transfer of power.
As instructed, Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali called for free elections, while the rebels declared Syria “free of the tyrant” and released hundreds of prisoners held in Saydnaya prison, dubbed the “human slaughterhouse,” where as many as 13,000 people were executed since 2011.
The Assad regime was brutal and inhumane, and its swift collapse underscores just how fragile it had become, after years of corruption, civil war, and an economic crisis. The regime was “in worse shape than we thought,” said Swedish government think tank security analyst Aron Lund.
Its sudden collapse also underscores just how fragile its allies have become. The Assad regime had been weak for years, propped up only by the aid of Russia and Iran. Now, Russia’s military might is so tied up in Ukraine that it is renting soldiers from North Korea. Consequently, Russian air strikes against the rebels tailed off after only a few days, with some speculating that Russia cut a deal to maintain its military bases. Now it suffers the international embarrassment of abandoning a close ally without even putting up much of a fight.
For its part, Iran’s network of terrorist proxies has suffered heavy losses in their unjustified war against Israel, particularly Hezbollah, which operates out of neighboring Lebanon. Iran declined to send reinforcements due to the threat of Israeli air power, and it ordered its militias to stay out of the fight. Still, rebels, who allowed the Iranian embassy in Damascus to be looted after they seized the city, may prove far less cooperative with Iran. Assad’s fall takes a hefty bite out of Iran’s regional security plan, cutting off routes to resupply and rearm Hezbollah in Lebanon.
It’s unclear what sort of government will succeed the Assad regime, and who will run it. The rebel coalition that toppled his regime represents a hodge-podge of factions that lack unifying interests. A key leader of the rebel march southward was Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani. Wanted by the U.S. government to the tune of $10 million, al-Jawlani is affiliated with al-Qaeda and leads a faction of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO). Meanwhile, other parts of Syria remain under the control of U.S.-backed rebel factions, including northeastern Syria, where a Kurdish government holds sway.
In other words, someone threw a cup of dice into the middle of the geopolitical chessboard. And, while we’re still counting the score, it’s safe to assume that no one can declare Yahtzee!
As for establishing a free and fair democracy, there are precious few examples where jihadist rebels toppled a dictator, and the result was a stable, Westernized system of government. Even if such a government was established, there is always the danger of leaving a power vacuum that might be filled by remnants of ISIS, bringing further chaos and suffering to the region.
As happened in Libya and other toppled dictatorships, “We might see a big, quick victory, and then the problems start,” an unnamed Western diplomat suggested to The Wall Street Journal.
All we can say for sure is that Russia’s and Iran’s influence in Syria has waned, while Turkey’s influence has increased. As the state sponsor for the rebel groups that toppled Assad, Turkey will likely have some influence over the government that takes shape on its southern border. “What is significant is the fact that these rebels were Turkish-backed, and so this is an extension of Turkey’s influence southward into the former borders of Syria,” Travis Weber, vice president for Policy and Government Affairs at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand.
A NATO member with an Islamic maverick streak, Turkey is not fully aligned with either the U.S. or with its adversaries, and Turkish leader Recep Erdogan has ambitions to recapture the glory of the Ottoman Empire.
As the Islamist rebels marched on Damascus, foreign ministers from Russia, Iran, and Turkey met at a conference in Qatar to discuss the future of Syria.
“Many will be taking note of the fact that … that continuous string of Iranian and anti-Israel influence from Iran to the Mediterranean has been broken,” Weber observed, but “those who are celebrating this as some universal win … [are] taking the wrong approach.”
“We must be under no illusions that the rebel forces are somehow a friend of Western values,” Weber warned. “Their posture towards Israel, ideologically, is likely very hostile as well.”
“So,” he concluded, “we will have to see how things shake out regionally, but in a sense, we’re trading one bad apple for another.”

The FBI just foiled a plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, of Coral Springs, FL was arrested today for attempting to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce.
”The Stock Exchange, we want to hit that, because it will wake people up,” the suspect is quoted as saying in the documents. At another point, he is quoted as saying that he “feel[s] like Bin Laden.”
A Florida suspect was recently arrested for allegedly planning to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida announced the arrest on Wednesday.
“Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, of Coral Springs, Fla., was arrested today based on a criminal complaint charging him with attempt to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce,” the office’s statement read.
According to the court files obtained by Fox News Digital, suspect Harun Abdul-Malik Yener unknowingly worked with undercover FBI agents before he was arrested.
“The Stock Exchange, we want to hit that, because it will wake people up,” the suspect is quoted as saying in the documents. At another point, he is quoted as saying that he “feel[s] like Bin Laden.”

She’s complicit not with dead Nazis, but with live ones dedicated to killing Jews today.
“I don’t understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter,” Barack Obama wondered at a Kamala rally in Wisconsin.
A day later the Kamala campaign began accusing Trump of being Hitler.
As October surprises go, a Democrat accusing a Republican of being Hitler is as surprising as pint size witches and ghosts showing up on your doorstep on October 31. Ever since FDR accused Wendel Wilkie of using “Hitler tactics” back during the 1940 election, calling your opponent Hitler has been a rite of passage since even before Joe Biden was born.
Goldwater, Reagan and both Bushes, were accused of Hitlerism, Nazism or fascism.
No Democrat was too respectable to get in the game including MLK who claimed, “we see danger signs of Hitlerism in the candidacy of Mr. Goldwater.”
Barry Goldwater was half Jewish, a WWII vet and a lifetime member of the NAACP who helped found the NAACP’s Arizona chapter, and seemingly the worst possible candidate for ‘Hitlerism’.
Except for Trump who has Jewish family members and is performing so well among Jewish, Latino and black voters that his opponent and her media have to compare him to Hitler.
There was a time when comparing your opponent to Hitler was a mostly harmless form of watering down some of the most horrific events of the twentieth century for political gain.
These days however it’s all too easy to find an influential political movement championing the extermination of the Jews with a foothold inside the Kamala campaign and the Democrats.
If the Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah boasted. And the Islamic terrorist group proved it was serious about killing Jews outside Israel with terrorist attacks like the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires which murdered 86 people.
These days you can spot Hezbollah flags flying at any respectable anti-Israel rally. Including the ones that Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz have defended and are complicit in. Harris, Walz and the party have praised the mobs waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags, chanting in support of the Houthis and assaulting Jewish students, and they want to claim the role of the Allies fighting Hitler when they’re at best the Quislings who are aiding and abetting the Nazis.
Kamala privately met with Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud to urge him to support her campaign. Hammoud had spoken at a rally that included chants of “Death to Israel” and calls for Jews to be returned “back to Poland.”
Hammoudwas introduced by Osama Siblani as “the greatest mayor in the United States of America.” “Mr. Bush believes Hezbollah, Hamas and other Palestinian factions are terrorists, but we believe they are freedom fighters,” Siblani had previously told the Washington Post.
Osama had bragged, “If the FBI wants to come after those who support the resistance done by Hezbollah, then they better bring a fleet of buses. I for one would be willing to go to jail.”
“Our martyrs are heroes, our leaders are great,” Osama Siblani said after the death of the Hezbollah leader “And first among them, their leader, the great Sayyed, Hassan Nasrallah.”
Osama had previously met with Ms. Chávez Rodríguez, Kamala’s campaign manager, as part of a delegation to win over the votes of the Hezbollah community in Dearborn, Michigan.
The Biden-Harris administration and the Harris-Walz campaign are complicit with Nazis. Not historical ones or dead ones, but actual movements dedicated to killing Jews today.
After a year in which American Jews have been assaulted, terrorized and threatened, forced out of campuses and systematically discriminated against, Kamala failed to call out those parts of her base that are responsible for it, sometimes condemning the acts, but never the movements.
When mobs wave Hamas flags in front of the White House and openly identify themselves as Hamas supporters, Kamala, Democrats and the media carefully look the other way. When they do that, they’re looking away from public support for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust by a Muslim Brotherhood movement that got its start being funded by Nazi Germany.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her people refuse to stop meeting with Nazis, Nazi supporters and their political allies, but want to play the game of calling everyone else “Hitler”. This not only trivializes the Holocaust, but ignores an actual attempt to exterminate that is going on today.
“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them—even though they exaggerated this issue—he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers,” Muslim Brotherhood ‘spiritual guide’ Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi wished.
Qaradawi, the Qatari backed leader of the Brotherhood, hoped that Islamists would carry on the work of the Nazis. The Obama administration helped the Brotherhood seize power, reached out to Qaradawi and his National Security Council met with Qaradawi’s deputy.
The same people telling us that Trump is Hitler met with actual Nazis who are not shy about announcing their desire to kill all the Jews.
If Kamala wants to find Nazis, she needn’t look far, just as far as the nearest mirror.
Bay‘at (A pledge, swearing unconditional subservience to a powerful person), a longstanding practice among the pre-Islamic Arabs, was fully incorporated into Islam by Muhammad and accounts for much of his success in gathering more and more power.
Bay’at is a very effective yet simple practice. A locally powerful tyrant summons less powerful individuals, usually one at a time, and gives them a choice: Become my subservient, loyal follower and recognize me as your superior. If you do so, your life is spared, and I may reward you in other ways. If you fail to do so, I will take your life, assume lordship over your followers, and take possession of everything you have.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the lesser chiefs and leaders fall into line very quickly, realizing the alternative is complete devastation and death for them, their families, and their followers. So, with one stroke, the more powerful brute subsumes a significant human and material resource under his reign.
Muhammad practiced this art with consummate skill. The highly scattered, chronically at war with one another tribes of Arabia didn’t have much choice when Muhammad and his superior force offered them the bargain. The great majority of these tribal chiefs did take the bargain and saved their own necks and that of their people. Those who resisted lost everything anyway.
And power begets power, up to a point. Islam’s power continued long after Muhammad’s death through the practice of Bay’at on a much larger scale or the use of the sword.
“Broadly speaking, this pledge of allegiance to a person of authority has become the practical meaning of the term “bay‘a” in Islam. It was first and foremost applied to the Prophet. Still, after his death, it was also extended to other Muslim community leaders, primarily the caliph, the successor to the Prophet in political affairs and in upholding Islamic rule. Ideally, this pledge of allegiance to a caliph takes place through his election, but it may also happen through appointment by his predecessor. According to ‘ulama’ (Muslim scholars), the caliph himself must satisfy several conditions, including ruling based on justice (‘adala), possessing knowledge (‘ilm) of Islamic tradition and law, having physical and mental fitness, being courageous and determined, waging jihad, and being a descendant of the Quraysh tribe, to which the Prophet Muhammad himself also belonged. [14]”
When the prophet Muhammad died, infighting started earnestly among the various factions. Each demanded Bay’at with another clan. People began jockeying for power and doing their best to destroy their competition. Ali, Muhammad’s son-in-law, was elbowed out of the way by the more powerful disciples of the prophet, and he had to wait his turn to lead the already fractured and feuding Ummah. Several of the faithful resented the fact that Ali was not allowed to take over. Some felt victimized by Umar and his powerful conspirators and hated Ali for not standing up and fighting like a man. Some real stand-and-fight Muslims decided that Ali should be punished, and he was knifed to death on his way to the mosque.
The death of Ali was the real stirring of the hornet’s nest. All kinds of power struggles, infighting, and bloodletting started among the followers of the religion of peace. Ali’s boys, namely Hassan and Hussein, decided to salvage their dad’s honor by standing and fighting like a good Muslim should and enjoying the perks of being the gang’s leaders. So, a real fight was joined. On one side was Yazid with his mighty army and wealth, and on the other side were Hassan and Hussein with their ragtag band of followers. Hassan was killed unceremoniously in short order, but Hussein was not about to bow out. Hussein started a dialogue with his adversary, Yazid.
Hussein: I am the rightful inheritor of the house of Muhammad. I demand that all believers, including you Yazid, accept me (bay‘at) as the head of the Ummah.
Yazid: Nothing doing, man. Muhammad’s Ummah is not a family business. It is the faith of Allah that must follow His laws. The people select the most righteous man as the head of the faith, just as the Caliphs did. The faith of Allah is based on meritocracy and not heredity.
Hussein: You are wrong, Yazid. My granddaddy started the business, my daddy gave his life for it, my brother was murdered to claim it, and I intend to take what is rightfully mine.
Yazid: Hussein, you seem just as stubborn as Hassan. You are not amenable to reason, so let the sword of justice settle our dispute. You know the rest of the story. Hussein stubbornly refused to relinquish his claim to power over Yazid. Shimr cut off his head, impaled it on a spear, and presented it to Yazid as a trophy.
The followers of the house of Ali and his lineage, a minority of about 10 percent of Muslims, felt victimized by the evil Yazid. Since there was very little that these lovers of Ali’s house could do to change things materially, they assumed the role of victims.
Let’s be clear: a Muslim’s loyalty or Bay‘at is to the Islamic Ummah that recognizes nothing other than one worldwide Ummah of Islam with no allowance for independent nationalities. A Muslim is required to abide by and live under the laws of Sharia and not the Constitution of the United States of America or any other laws. Because a Muslim must adhere to Islamic laws and not to a man-made law like the US Constitution, a Muslim can never be both a Muslim and an American at the same time.
The Pledge of Allegiance says, “one nation under God,” while a Muslim is required to be part of the Ummah under Allah. It is critically important to realize that Allah is not the same as the Judeo-Christian God. The two are vastly different beings.
In short, Muslims, those who consider themselves good and peaceful, as well as those who want us to accept their ideology of barbarism at the point of the sword, take the fateful step of joining the free and emancipated family of humanity and pledging (Bay’at) allegiance to the US Constitution, or they can move back to the country of their origin.

My breach with Islam started as far back as I could discern things. More to the point, I never embraced Islam in the first place, although I was born and raised in a Muslim family.
For one thing, I had a tough time following a so-called religion whose founder and followers had butchered my ancestors, raped and sold our women, burned our libraries, and destroyed our magnificent culture. Islam was forced down the throats of Iranians with the sword of Allah. In my heart, I never considered myself a Muslim.
However, I didn’t reveal this until later in life for fear of retribution by radical Muslims.
Sharia law stipulates that any Muslim who turns his back on Islam should be given a chance to revert to the faith. For an unrepentant male apostate, death is the prescribed punishment, and life imprisonment for the female apostate.
“Kill whoever changes his religion.” __Sahih al-Bukhari 9:84:57
Islam considers an apostate as a person who unilaterally breaks the covenant he has made with the faith. An apostate is condemned as guilty of turning his back on Allah’s immutable, eternal religion.
I realized that the root cause of my people’s degradation and suffering was Islam. It was a creed imposed on an enlightened, tolerant, and free people at the point of the sword by savages hailing from the Arabian Peninsula during the seventh century with promises of booty and women in this world and glorious eternal sensual rewards in the promised paradise of Allah in the next. With each passing day, I rejoice more and more in my good fortune, in my ability to avoid the yoke of Islamic slavery and its blinders that imprison a billion and a half people by walls of superstition, hatred of others, and a celebration of death.
Things Islamic not only did not resonate with me, but they often clashed head-on with what I valued and loved. What appealed to me and even enchanted me were, more often than not, taboo in Islam or anathema to the creed. I loved life, beauty in all its forms, poetry, ancient Iranian culture, and traditions.
I loved laughter and celebrations of joy, such as birthdays and my favorite yearly festivities, Nowruz, for the last thirteen days. This ancient festival has been celebrated for thousands of years by my people; it ushers in the spring, welcomes the renewal of life, and expresses optimism for the year ahead, blessing us with good health, abundant food, family, and friends in the land of a civilized and free people.
I have always believed one cannot possibly be a Persian, hold to the lofty tenets of the ancient Iranian Zoroastrian triad of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, and remain a Muslim.
In the same fashion, one cannot cherish American values, the Bill of Rights, and the United States Constitution and be a true Muslim. They are inherently and comprehensively incompatible with Sharia Law.
Iranian Muslims are victims of the Islamic virus that has destroyed their traditional respect for diversity. It is the Iranian ancient fundamental belief in the validity and value of diversity that is enshrined in the Cyrus the Great Cylinder, the unconditional respect for the complete rights of all the people of the world (an anathema to the Islamists’ credo) that has held the nation together over the millennia.
Although Islam was imposed on Iran some 1,400 years ago, Iranians deeply value their own ancient non-Arab identity and have never fully surrendered to the Arab culture.
Currently, a large number of Iranians are entirely fed up with Islam, and they want to leave this dogma of hate and violence. Many already have, but they aren’t able to come forward and announce it for obvious reasons.
Such duplicity exists within the Iranian culture. Initially, Iranians were forced to accept Islam to save their lives from Arab invaders, but deep within the heart of every single Iranian alive today exists a burning resentment of the Arab-Islamic invasion of their homeland and culture. Ironically, many Iranians may confess to being Muslims, yet an overwhelming number of Iranians have never read the Quran or understood its language. The events in history have toughened present-day Iranians. They have become great pretenders. But the totality of 1400 years of Islamic barbarity and savagery must end. We no longer need to pretend that we are practicing Muslims when, in fact, we are not.
Realistically speaking, perhaps 10-15 percent of the population supports the clerical system in varying degrees. Many in this group are government employees, Mullahs, and hired thugs such as the Basiji. Also, the regime has some backers among the poor, the less educated, and the deeply religious. Yet, the alienation from the government and Islam spans the entire spectrum of Iranian society, with the intelligentsia and the university students leading the determined opposition to end Islamic rule.
Masses of Iranians are irreparably alienated from a corrupt and oppressive Islamic rule. The rule of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) is crumbling. The previously solid tower, or at least its appurtenance, is finally showing many cracks that continue to grow. There are just too many fault lines to list here.
My fellow Iranians and I have indeed done, and continue to do, what we can to help our compatriots in Iran, who are on the front line fighting Islam and the Islamic Regime.
The 2009 protests were just as much against the Islamic Republic as they were about Shi’a Islam. Much of it was against Islam itself. People have experienced what a primitive and defective system of belief Islam is and aim to abandon it for good. Many will still hang on to it to some extent for some time. Yet, a great many would leave Islam and even actively oppose it.
There are still those who foolishly claim that Muhammad was a messenger from God and that the Quran is a divinely revealed book. I suggest that they use their intellect and read the Quran fully for themselves without assuming that the book is the literal word of God and that Muhammad was their messenger. Without this assumption as their starting point, they will find better than 90% of the book is about violence, threats of hell, exclusion of people, and the like. What kind of God would dictate things like what you find in the Quran? It took Muhammad 20 years to reveal this hodge-podge book that reads more like expressions of a delusional individual with dissociative identity disorder.
Hatred, not love, drives Islam.
I lament the plight of my native land and the people who have suffered and continue to suffer under Islam. Without Islam, there wouldn’t be any Muslims to hoist the banner of hate and violence against non-Muslims. A few claim that Islam has done some good in the past. Well, that’s debatable. Some are equally convinced that Islam has inflicted a great deal of suffering on others from its inception to the present. What we all must agree on is that Islam and its Sharia laws, at the very least, do not fit in today’s world.
Islam is a creed of an ignorant people in a primitive and barbaric age. It is fixated on time and place; it harbors the ambition of taking the 21st-century world back 14 centuries and ruling it by its dogma of violence, intolerance, injustice, and death. Yet, Islam is not only an obsolete vestige of a defunct era but is an infinitely fractured belief that can hardly put its own home in order. The numerous Islamic sects are at each other’s throats; sub-sects and schools despise one another as much as they hate non-Muslims. Hatred, not love, drives Islam.
I am not against Muslims. I condemn Islam with all its derivatives and those who support and promote it.
Muslims are patients, and Islam is a disease. You want to help the patients to rid themselves of the affliction. You want to eradicate a horrifically communicable disease. Although many prefer to tackle the militant version of Islam, “Islamism,” for all intents and purposes, there is no sharp boundary between Islamists, Jihadists, and Islamists. One and all are the progeny of Islam itself. Any differences among the three are of degree and not kind. When one addresses Islamism and jihadism, their source is also addressed.
Regrettably, Islam cannot be reformed. Remember that Islam claims to be the perfect eternal faith for humanity. Splits have occurred and will continue to appear in Islam. Reformation has yet to happen in nearly 1400 years and will not occur. Islam is carved in granite, just the way it is. There will be no change. Allah’s book is sealed.
In dealing with Islam and its variations, every individual, group, and government must combine their resources and energies to prevail. We must urge all people to resist Islam’s encroachment and not be deceived by its sanitized version presented in non-Islamic lands.
The destiny of civilized life hangs in the balance. Shirking of this responsibility would be an unpardonable act of every enlightened human being in an organization that values human liberty and dignity.

Friends, this is one of the rare times I’m sharing the full version of a story to convey the true danger of a Kamala-Walz administration, which already surrounds itself with dangerous, radicalized Islamic leaders that defy belief.
Kamala’s Islamists
Daniel Greenfield | Frontpage Mag | 9-10-2024 | Condensed
“During the blessed last ten days of Ramadan, we celebrate our Administration’s incredible Muslim team,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced, posing on the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with some of the most controversial figures in the administration.
There right behind Kamala was Nasrina Bargzie, her deputy counsel and future Muslim liaison, who had been interviewed by the FBI after 9/11, wore orange for the Islamic terrorists at Gitmo and had fought a lawsuit Jewish students over harassment by pro-terrorist activists at Berkeley.
Second from Kamala’s right was Mazen Basrawi, Biden’s current Muslim liaison, who had attended a conference honoring one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing, and whose appointment was hailed by Muslim Brotherhood groups.
Second from Kamala’s left was Brenda Abdelall, who had taken part in anti-Israel protests in college, and had falsely accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” as part of a “brutal occupation”. Abdelall became the “assistant secretary for partnership and engagement” at the Department of Homeland Security in the Biden-Harris administration and then appeared at a convention where speakers had called for a caliphate ruled by Islamic law and freeing Islamic terrorists.
Abdelall was recently chosen to head Kamala’s Arab-American outreach. And the campaign refused to part ways with her over past comments accusing Jews of controlling America.
Also allegedly present was Yousra Fazili, who had studied Islamic religious law or sharia at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, notorious for its terrorist teachings, and represented the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations co-founded by figures tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama bin Laden, before becoming the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs and now serves as the Chief of Staff to the Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of the Pentagon.
Yousra’s sister, Sameera Fazili had served as the deputy director of the National Economic Council despite being a member of Stand With Kashmir (SWK) “which was founded by her cousin, Hafsa Kanjwal” and which had “praised and defended the actions of a number of violent Islamists” including one who had “met with Al Qaeda figures” and praised Osama bin Laden.
Other members of Kamala’s “incredible Muslim team” included Maher Bitar, a former executive board member of Students for Justice in Palestine, a campus hate group which has since endorsed Hamas and the atrocities of Oct 7, and an organizer of a conference by the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which worked with Hamas, and whose previous event had reportedly included chants of “Kill the Jews”.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, Bitar became the Senior Director for Intelligence on the National Security Council and then the chief coordinator for intelligence and defense policy making him, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, “the senior-most official responsible for coordinating U.S. Government intelligence and defense policy.” Reporting tips Bitar as a likely Director of National Intelligence or “some kind of senior role” in a Kamala administration.
Reema Dodin, who had described suicide bombings against Jews by Muslim terrorists as “the last resort of a desperate people”, was brought on as the deputy director for the Office of Legislative Affairs.

Well… Let’s start with what was known hours and hours before this report:
The attacker yelled “Allah hu ackbar” -not mentioned by Global ‘News although they surely knew it
The Islamic State issued a letter of responsibility for the attack immediately after it happened. -Global ‘News’ also likely knew this because we all did.
UPDATE: Somebody has leaked an internal police report to Welt am Sonntag. The report contains this statement: “A witness who was injured in the attack stated that the unknown suspect was ‘familiar from Solingen’ and that he was also a visitor at a local mosque. One witness reported that the suspect shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the attack.”
UPDATE 2: The Amaq News Agency of the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Solingen stabbings. They say they their “soldier” conducted the attack on a “gathering of Christians” in Solingen as revenge for Muslim victims in Palestine. Anything is possible but I would be sceptical of this report; IS can claim responsibility for anything that’s in the news, and it’s somewhat amusing that their press office thinks the Solingen Diversity Festival was a Christian event.
Global News, probably along with the Leni Riefenstahl Award winning CBC, are complicit. When news agencies fail to inform you of a persistent threat and you get killed by it, they are accomplices. It is worse because these agencies also tend to constantly warn you of things which are not threats. And worse because they go to pains to make sure you do not know who or why did these attacks. And perhaps worse again becuase they will report faitfully on anyone arrested or convicted for telling the truth about these attacks. Which should make people realize which side of the line the deterrence is on.
(For anyone planning and writing me up for this, I know the CBC has not won the LR award for Excellence In Public Programming because the society that presents the award has not been asked yet to go down and tape it to their doors.)

As Kamala Harris curries favor with pro-Hamas Democrats, her administration is euchring Israel to agree to a ceasefire designed to save that terrorist organization from increasingly imminent destruction by the Jewish State.
Should her efforts succeed, the predictable result would be not only the death in captivity of more hostages, but the imperiling of every other Israeli as what would amount to their country’s defeat emboldens Iran and its friends to try to finish her off. They will then turn to us, “the Great Satan.”
Fortunately, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is resisting such extortion, as he must. U.S. polls keep showing eighty percent of Americans stand with Israel, and not Hamas. Especially if our campuses are again besieged by the pro-jihadist “Red-Green axis” this fall, Kamala’s sympathies may become a distinct political liability, as well as a strategic disaster for America.

Now that the Party of Democracy has done away with all that cumbersome “voting” business and anointed Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate, Harris is busy demonstrating that she holds all of her party’s deeply held principles. This reassures the Democrat base, in case anyone was worried, that she is a bona fide far-left ideologue of the kind they favor these days and can be trusted to implement the party program.
And so Harris has been paying obeisance to all the left’s gods. This has meant a call for a ceasefire in Gaza that would allow Hamas to survive and murder more Israeli civilians in the future, as it has vowed to do. Harris also made an appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” as if to emphasize that she fully intends as president to perpetuate the left’s wholehearted embrace of sexual perversion, gender delusion, and overall insanity. And in a video that surfaced on X Thursday, Harris told an appreciative audience at the Islamic Center of Southern California, “We must have the courage to object when they use that term, ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’”
Courage? That’s like saying that we must have the courage to be a total conformist lemming who says exactly what everyone else is saying. If Kamala Harris really wants to demonstrate her courage, she should try bucking the prevailing winds and stating the readily demonstrable fact that core texts of the religion of Islam teach that Muslims should wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. She will, of course, never do such a thing, primarily because she isn’t aware of that fact, but also because she likely knows that if she said such a thing, she fairly quickly would be the former Democrat candidate for president.
Hillary Clinton summed up the predominant view, at least among leftist politicians, when she declared in Nov. 2015, “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Virtually every politician on the left and many on the right have said much the same thing, although usually, they didn’t go as all-out as Hillary did on the sweeping generalizations. In 2011, working from the same set of assumptions, the Obama administration removed all mention of Islam and Muslims from its entire counterterrorism program. The program has not been reformed since then; the same willful ignorance prevails to this day.
Harris’ statement at the Islamic Center of Southern California is just a variant of the same theme, as is her subsequent explanation that to speak of “radical Islamic terrorism” supposedly ignored the fact that Muslims have been “the greatest victims of terror.” Harris apparently assumes that someone who attacks a Muslim could not possibly be a Muslim himself. In making that assumption, however, she is herself ignoring the fact that Islamic law mandates death for heresy and apostasy. Throughout Islamic history, this has led to violence between Islamic sects and factions. If a Muslim kills another Muslim, the killing doesn’t necessarily signify that the killer is violating Islamic principles; abundant justification can be found within Islamic law for such behavior.
If there is any actual problem with the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” it is with the word “radical.” Violence against unbelievers is unfortunately mainstream in Islamic theology. Iraqi scholar Majid Khadduri, in his magisterial book “War and Peace in the Law of Islam,” says that the function of the Islamic state in Islamic theology and law is to “establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world… The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state.” That’s the ultimate goal of Islamic terrorism: to weaken and ultimately destroy governments that aren’t based on Islamic law so that they can be replaced with Islamic ones.
This has been a consistent imperative throughout Islamic history. A Pakistani professor of Islamic law, Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, quotes the 12th-century Islamic jurist Ibn Rushd: “Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book [that is, Jews and Christians]…is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah,” a tax on non-Muslims specified in the Qur’an (9:29). Nyazee concludes, “This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation” of non-Muslims.
The problem with Harris’ call for “courage” is that it not only ignores the unpleasant reality of Islamic jihad violence, but it also perpetuates the longtime leftist strategy of shaming and silencing those who tell the truth about such violence. The ultimate beneficiaries of this willful ignorance are the Islamic jihadis themselves; if Harris and her ilk have their way and silence all those whom they smear as “racists” and “bigots” for speaking honestly about jihad, the jihadis will be able to go about their work unopposed and unhindered. Is that what she wants? If she doesn’t, what is she doing to stop them?

The world is rapidly crumbling under the combined political, economic, and religious assaults. Politically, nations are at each other’s jugglers. Economically, there are more people than humanity can adequately feed, house, and care for them. Our numbers keep on exploding while resources of all sorts are depleting, the environment is degrading, and other life forms are being pushed toward extinction.
To exacerbate the problem, humanity’s genius needed for addressing its monumental challenges is severely sapped by the religious menace of Islamism.
Let’s trust the forever distrustful, self-serving politicians to deal with the political conundrum. In their for-sale hands, they are bound to make matters worse politically.
And the effete academes can sit in their ivory tower offices, smoke their pipes, and divine good as gold solutions (read, hallucinations) to the morass of the economy.
On the religious front, we are faced with the corrosive and deadly menace of Islamism. This is the subject of great concern to me, and I have specific suggestions on how to deal with this ever-expanding threat to our collective and personal liberty.
Several million Muslims live in this welcoming land. Muslims are everywhere. How are we to deal with them? Right at the start, let’s abandon some idiotic proposals that occasionally pop up. Deport the Muslims, herd them into concentration camps since they are enemies of the nation, and brand them like the dastardly murderer Nazis did the Jews. And on and on and on.
Those Muslims who are here legally are entitled to live here and enjoy the beneficence of this great country to the fullest of a citizen’s rights.
At the same time, we have every right and even responsibility to be concerned about the danger of Islamism to our way of life. It is a way for free people to live peacefully and respectfully with one another without in any way posing threats to the fundamental ideals that birthed this nation and sustained it to the present.
Moslems are not our enemies. Islamism is. Below are some specific suggestions on how to defeat Islamism at home.
Don’t kill the patient; eradicate the disease.
A Muslim is the patient; Islamism is the disease. The overwhelming majority of Muslims contract the viral virus of Islamism at birth when they are most vulnerable. Once this virus takes hold, it either completely destroys the individual’s cognitive immune system’s ability to reject the disease or makes it most difficult for the person to see the pathology. That’s why the great majority of born Muslims remain Muslim for life. It is a fact that a significant percentage of Muslims contract the virulent form of the belief, Islamism.
Islamism is a jihadist, intolerant of the “other,” and is rooted in most base beliefs and practices.
Defeat the creeping sharia law. I cannot overstate the dangers of Sharia law and its insidious, creeping nature. Regrettably, some provisions of sharia are already on the books in some states.
This Sharia intrusion is a monumental threat to our laws that are grantors of our liberty. No effort should be spared at denying the stone-age misogynistic body of Islamic laws from invading our legal system and purging the ones that have already sneaked in.
In infidel lands, the slow-acting yet deadly cancer of invasive sharia is wedged into our laws by powerful, moneyed Islamic organizations coaxing and greasing the politicians to issue ordinances or legislate seemingly harmless provisions of the sharia. Islamic organizations and vested-interested clerics begin their Sharia campaign by asking for ordinances or legislations for seemingly inconsequential little things, such as requiring stores to clearly designate and completely separate halal food and meat from nonhalal. What is important here is that ordinances and laws like this are the beginning of getting the government into the business of enforcing sharia laws. That’s the way they get a toehold, and the camel’s head pokes into the room, so to speak. Little by little, the rest of the terribly ugly stinking camel gets in the room, and there will be no way to get it out.
Islamism is a hydra, and every head of this deadly creature, no matter how small, must be severed. If not, before long, we end up in the same irreversible horrible mess that countries such as Great Britain find themselves, with full sharia law and sharia courts.
Unless you want yourself or your children to be treated/litigated under Sharia Law, you want to make sure that none of its provisions get on the books and that no mercenary politician does anything as an Islamist enabler. The separation of religion and state is the First Commandment of our Constitution that should not be violated or compromised. And you, the individual, are the best guardian of the Constitution.
Don’t do as Islamists do. Don’t vilify, persecute, or even harass the Muslims. They are entitled to be treated fairly, although they don’t feel they should also treat non-Muslims fairly. Believers in liberty want the God-given gift for all of mankind and not just for themselves. We want Muslims to be free also, without threatening our liberty. First and foremost, we must do what we can to empower them to exercise their gift of reason and free will and cast off the shackles of radical belief. We must remain true to our Pledge of Allegiance: “…justice and liberty for all.”
Don’t lie about Islam. Lying and dissimulation are—taqiyya is ordained by Muhammad for use by Muslims only. Muslims have the patent and copyright on the practice, and the non-Muslims do not need it. You lie when you aim to deceive, are ashamed of something, or wish to distort things. Free people need not resort to any such practice. The contents of the Quran that feed Islamism are the proof you need to present to Muslims.
Muslim women are the second-class victims of the beliefs and practices that date back some fourteen centuries to the primitive practices of the Arabian Peninsula. Beliefs and practices that have formed the foundation of Islam.
Be firm but kind. Do honor your conviction, a conviction worth defending with unshakeable resolve yet with kindness. Avoid belligerence when challenging Muslims. Sincere kindness works much better than hostile confrontation. Attacking a person’s belief can often backfire and serve to further confirm him in the ideology. Challenging individual Muslims with an open mind and heart is much more likely to make them rethink the pathological belief and hopefully abandon it.
Don’t believe the sanitized versions of Islam. Paid mercenaries, Islamic apologists, and many others trip over each other, overwhelming us with distorted and highly sanitized versions of Islam. The distortions and lies are frequently so blatant that we take them as truth, particularly when our own Presidents throw them at us. Islam is a religion of peace, they keep telling us. It is not, and it has never been. Study the facts. Read the Quran, study the Sunna and Hadith from Islam’s own historical documents, and find out for yourself why Islam is not what its apologists claim and, in fact, what a menacing scourge Islamism is. You need nothing more. Their very own sacred book and other records are your best proof to reason with Muslims and help them abandon the fold.
Drain Islam’s source of funds. Money is the lifeblood of every enterprise. It is money, much of it from oil sold to the kafir world by oil-bloated Islamic countries. We, the kafir are literally financing our own destruction by heedlessly continuing our addiction to oil. We are forced to buy oil from our very own enemies because oil is oil. If we boycott the oil from the Persian Gulf area, then we have to buy it elsewhere unless we buckle down and do what we must to become self-sufficient in energy. We indeed have the resources to become self-sufficient in energy but don’t seem to have the will to do it.
Challenge the professors, the preachers, and individual Muslims. Don’t get cowed in by the professor. Challenge him to document his claims and provide him with your own evidence that clearly falsifies his propaganda. Attend mosques and Islamic centers and do the same without being discourteous or belligerent. Do the same with the Muslims you know or meet. Keep in mind that many of these people are very hard nuts to crack. Yet, we must slowly wipe out Islamism from our homeland slowly.
Work with the media. A great majority of the media either sings the praises of Islam or avoids saying or publishing anything that might offend the Muslims. Money and fear are operating here. Threats of boycotting businesses and withholding advertisements are effectively used by Islamic organizations to intimidate the media. Legal actions are also threatened against the media as well as any individual who dares to speak the truth about Islam. These litigations can be immensely costly to individuals and companies, while the flush-with-funds Islamist outfits can boldly carry out their threats without worrying about the costs.
Define and defend freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it grants the diverse people of this nation the right to worship according to their own beliefs. On the other hand, it becomes a license for Islamist clerics to preach hate about non-Muslims and indoctrinate their young in the intolerant, violent, and jihadist doctrine of Islamism. Thousands of mosques, Islamic centers, and university academic departments dot the land with thousands of preachers, politicians, and paid professors pushing Islam. We must make it a criminal offense to preach hate under the rubric of religion, to misrepresent and lie about religion.
Islamic clerics have a great vested interest. They make a very good living with lifetime job security. They do all they can to keep the charade going. So do the others who sing the praises of Islam. We must make sure that they do not practice dispensing misinformation, disinformation, and flaming the fire of hatred for non-Muslims.
Islam is a religion of peace. That’s not the way it is operating in Muslim lands with daily free-for-all mayhem and massacres. If Muslims want to have a place in the home of the free, they absolutely must live by the rules of this welcoming nation and abandon the attempt at subverting our cherished way of life and replacing it with theirs.
Retaining what is human. We believe the Creator has endowed human beings, both men and women equally with the gift of intellect. We are also endowed with a measure of freedom to think, choose, and act. As individuals, we are responsible for how we use these resources, for the good, for the bad, or the indifferent.
Islamic doctrine is diametrically in conflict with the above belief. According to Islam, the individual is a mere choice-less vessel in the hand of all-everything Allah. Islam strips the individual from self-reliance and replaces it with unconditional surrender to Allah. Not a leaf falls without Allah so decreeing, asserts the Quran unequivocally. Inshaallah (Allah decreeing, Allah ordaining, or Allah willing) precedes every commitment of the faithful Muslim. It is all up to Allah, as Muslims are led to believe. No wonder the Islamic world is in such a chronic state of backwardness. Muslims sit around waiting for Allah to decree and even do everything. It is a true belief of nihilism.
Resist multiculturalism. For a variety of reasons, during the past decades, Western societies opened their doors to a flood of Muslims from Islamic lands. They aimed to make the newcomers feel at home, retain their way of life, and live in harmony with the endogenous population. Some call it a practice in Christian charity. But the good-heartedness not only failed, it boomeranged to hurt the welcoming hosts severely. It is wonderful to be charitable. It is great to be good-hearted. But being charitable and accommodating evil can empower evil to tear your good heart out literally. Islamism and jihadism are on the rampage, playing out all over the world and literally tearing out the hearts of innocent people, many of them Muslim. We don’t want to repeat the European mistakes. No multiculturalism fantasy to create a nightmare reality. Muslims who live here must become part and parcel of America just like all the other diverse people who have come to this welcoming land. Muslims must abide by and honor the same values and laws that have made this nation a beneficent refuge for all people. No separate but equal foolishness was the banner cry of the segregationists for Muslims. Together, equal, and under the same law.
Challenge all politicians. The naked truth is that politicians are paid agents. They do and say what gets them elected and keeps them in office. As a voter and fund contributor, you are important. Let them know how you feel and how you are going to treat them if they sell their services and become Islam enablers. Hold them accountable at all levels of government, from the local city council to the occupier of the White House.
In short, we have a great country troubled by numerous challenges. We can ill afford to become complacent or disheartened. If we band together in a common cause with devotion to our nation’s principles and values, we can meet and defeat any threat of any nature or magnitude. Past generations of Americans have always done so, and this generation of Americans should do no less

Mirroring the Jew hating indoctrination of children in Gaza, Portland’s public school is brainwashing American children to hate and kill Jews. Kindergarten through high school. Hitler youth.
I have obtained a collection of publicly accessible documents produced by the Portland Association of Teachers, an affiliate of the state teachers’ union that encourages its more than 4,500 members to “Teach Palestine!” (The union did not respond to a request for comment.)
The lesson plans are steeped in radicalism, and they begin teaching the principles of “decolonization” to students as young as four and five years old. For prekindergarten kids, the union promotes a workbook from the Palestinian Feminist Collective, which tells the story of a fictional Palestinian boy named Handala. “When I was only ten years old, I had to flee my home in Palestine,” the boy tells readers. “A group of bullies called Zionists wanted our land so they stole it by force and hurt many people.” Students are encouraged to come up with a slogan that they can chant at a protest and complete a maze so that Handala can “get back home to Palestine”—represented as a map of Israel.
Other pre-K resources include a video that repeats left-wing mantras, including “I feel safe when there are no police,” and a slideshow that glorifies the Palestinian intifada, or violent resistance against Israel. The recommended resource list also includes a “sensory guide for kids” on attending protests. It teaches children what they might see, hear, taste, touch, and smell at protests, and promotes photographs of slogans such as “Abolish Prisons” and “From the River to the Sea.”
In kindergarten through second grade, the ideologies intensify. The teachers’ union recommends a lesson, “Art and Action for Palestine,” that teaches students that Israel, like America, is an oppressor. The objective is to “connect histories of settler colonialism from Palestine to the United States” and to “celebrate Palestinian culture and resistance throughout history and in the present, with a focus on Palestinian children’s resistance.”
The lesson suggests that teachers should gather the kindergarteners into a circle and teach them a history of Palestine: “75 years ago, a lot of decision makers around the world decided to take away Palestinian land to make a country called Israel. Israel would be a country where rules were mostly fair for Jewish people with White skin,” the lesson reads. “There’s a BIG word for when Indigenous land gets taken away to make a country, that’s called settler colonialism.”

Sounds absurd? Why? All kinds of well-meaning and not so well-meaning people who are alarmed with Islam Mayhem and Murder, Inc. have been proclaiming that their fight is with Islam and not with Muslims. Who knows what motivates these people and how their system of logic runs.
Geert Wilder says that his battle is with Islam, and he does not hate Muslims. No one, please, should take my criticism of Muslims as hating them. I certainly am critical of their belief and feel that Muslims must wake up to the destructive nature of their creed. The Muslims not only need to leave Islam, they owe themselves and the rest of humanity to actively work at putting an end to one of humanity’s most harmful dogmas.
In my thinking, Islam is the problem because there are Muslims who take its holy book, the Quran, as gospel and carry out its divisive and deadly provisions. Without Muslims, Muhammad’s Quran would be just another historic relic sitting on library shelves, next to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, gathering dust, and criminals of the world would have to find other instruction manuals to guide their activities.
What good is it to burn the Quran or desecrate it? The fire from burning the Quran only energizes the already zany fanatical believers of Allah to further engage in their world-dismembering acts.
People who keep proclaiming that they have nothing against Islam but that their battle is with Muslim terrorists are an enigma. Perhaps these people are the politically correct, the delusional who rearrange reality to their fancy, or the naïve who are incapable of dealing with facts. These people are either incapable or do not want to see that it is the Muslims, the active jihadists, as well as their masses of supporters who are and remain culprits committing much of what is repugnant and harmful to civilized humanity.
If the fight is with Islam and not with Muslims, then in the interest of fairness, we must apply the same standards to other criminalities.
We should condemn arson, but not arsonists: Rape, not rapists: Theft, not thieves: Murder, not murderers; and all other forms of crimes, but not the people who commit them.
Terrorism has no external reality without terrorists. For as long as there are people who cling no matter how loosely or tightly to Islam, humanity, including Muslims, stands to suffer the consequences. Yet, sadly, many Muslims refuse to recognize the fact that it is their sickly belief system that is at the core of leading them astray and inflicting great harm to all.
It is foolish to wage battle against beliefs that promote mayhem and murder while giving a free pass to those who adhere to those beliefs and carry out their dogma.
“When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” Quran 8.12
I fully realize that not every Muslim is a card-carrying, hell-bent jihadist. Yet, by being a Muslim, the individual, willingly or unwillingly, directly or indirectly, empowers the zealot jihadist Muslims who live and die to further the cause of Islam.
In what way does your average peaceful Muslim support the work of the not-too-insignificant cadre of Islamist terrorists, you may ask? In multiple ways. For one, by paying his religiously required tax known as Khums (one-fifth of his income) to the imams and mullahs. What do the Islamic clerics do with the funds? They make a very good living by not breaking a sweat day and night, preaching hatred of non-Muslims, and training wave after wave of impressionable young as soldiers of Allah.
These clerical parasites are equal opportunity haters and promoters of violence. They do not limit their campaign to only non-Muslims. They even exhort their just too-happy jihadists to wage war against each other whenever it suits them, and they can get away with it.
Just look at what is happening these days in the lands of the religion of peace. In Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan, Bahrain, and even the Islamic showcases such as Egypt and Turkey. Repression and slaughter are in full operation.
Syria’s in-power Alawites and their Shiite allies are engaged in the shocking butchery of the Sunnis, even under the eyes of the impotent United Nations observers. In one recent brutal attack by the Alawite forces of President Bashar Assad, some 90 people, including many children, were murdered.
I hardly need to tally the criminality and horrors of these Muslim-inspired regimes. Peace, tolerance, and respect for others are alien to the followers of Muhammad, no matter which sect they belong to and irrespective of where in the world they live. No sooner in power, in any place, they shamelessly and brutally begin their mayhem and murderous practices.
This primitive chauvinistic creed is custom-made for the savage male, where women are systematically abused in every imaginable way. Not only are women officially worth one-half of a man, but they are also to serve as a man’s property in the tragically ordained manner. Four women to a man in regular marriage and as many women as a man wishes in temporary marriages. Woe upon a woman who thinks of herself as an equal-rights human and violates these Islamic draconian laws. Honor killing awaits the fate of any woman who steps outside Islam’s misogynistic boundaries.
Give the ringleaders of this creed of violence credit. They have perfected their skills at their trade of spreading Islam, the means of making their parasitic living.
These so-called clerics make “good” use of the funds they extract from their followers. For one, they buy the ever-ready-for-purchase politicians to further their cause through legislation that would muzzle freedom of expression by any voice that dares to expose Islam for what it is.
For yet another, with their coffers flush with funds, the clerics enlist lawyers and launch lawsuits to destroy any person who speaks the truth about their barbaric beliefs and practices.
In addition, they honestly report intimidating businesses that fail to toe their line by boycotting their products and services. They force other businesses to withdraw their advertisements from any print or electronic medium that may honestly report the horrors of their beliefs.
Tolerance is a great social virtue that becomes a vice if extended to those who do not practice it and to criminals who take advantage of this noble human attribute. Muslims are the most oppressive and intolerant people in the world, and they justify their intolerance on the teachings of their holy book, the Quran.
The persecution of religious minorities in Islamic states is a legend. Yet, these very intolerant people come to the welcoming Western countries and demand one-sided tolerance from their hosts. Over time, these Muslims increased their demands to the point of aiming to subvert the civilized hosts and transform them into their failed savage system ruled by the Sharia Law.
Remember that Islam operates by stealth when not quite powerful, just as Muhammad did. Then, it gradually builds its power to the point that the soft approach is no longer necessary to subdue others and impose its will.
The stealth soft strategy is presently playing out in the United States. Islam’s tentacles are expanding into the body of this free and welcoming nation. In 2000, there were 1209 mosques in the United States of America. By 2010, the number has almost doubled. By 2021, the number had increased to 2769.
Islam is a bad idea, and Muslims are guilty of living by it and promoting it. Some Muslims take up arms, following the examples of Islam’s founder, Muhammad, in their aim to vanquish the non-Muslims. Other Muslims empower the frontline jihadists by supplying them with material support and manpower. In the same manner that an army can’t fight without the essential logistics supplied to them by civilians, the soldiers of Allah will be incapable of waging their death and destruction campaign without the support of the generality of Muslims. It is long overdue that Muslims be held accountable for the so-called religious belief that controls their actions: actions aimed at destroying anything and anyone non-Muslim.
It is imperative that we see reality and deal with it. No euphemism, no sugarcoating, no politically correct posturing. It is time to abandon all pretenses and place the blame where it belongs. It is the Mayhem and Murder Islam, Inc. that is breeding terrorists. Without Islam, there would be no Islamic terrorists.
A video of the instances in which female IDF observers were kidnapped from the IDF Nahal Oz base to the Gaza Strip on October 7 was published on Wednesday evening, the Hostage and Missing Families Forum announced.
The video, taken from Hamas terrorists’ body cameras, is 3:10 minutes long and has been censored.
Videos emerge of the taking of Nahal Oz observers as hostages on October 7, 2023.
The forum stated the decision to release the video was made by the families of the five observers who remain in Gaza captivity: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa, and Naama Levy.
Seven observers were kidnapped alive from the base. Ori Megidish was rescued by the IDF in October, and Noa Marciano was killed by Hamas in captivity. Her body was recovered by the IDF in November and returned for burial in Israel.
“Look them in the eyes,” the Hostages and Families Forum said. “The video is a sharp indictment of the national failure of the lawlessness of the hostages for the past 229 days.”
‘Government must return to the negotiating table’
“Every new testimony about what happened to the hostages echoes the same tragic truth – we must bring them all back home, now,” the forum said in a statement.

Munich, where Hitler staged his attempted Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923, was his favorite city, filled early on with Nazi true believers. He would have been pleased to see the 4,000 antisemites out in force in mid-May, marching along, baying their hate in front of the city’s main synagogue, scaring the Jews worshipping inside on Shabbat. They called for the destruction of the one, very small, Jewish state and of all of its Jewish inhabitants. If you’re a Nazi, what’s not to like? More on this horrifying spectacle can be found here: “Mass antisemitic rally in front of Munich synagogue calls for Israel’s eradication,” by Benjamin Weinthal, i24 News, May 19, 2024:
Nearly 4,000 anti-Israel protestors turned up on Saturday in front of the main Munich synagogue demanding the obliteration of the Jewish state, according to German media reports.
A mix of German Muslim, leftist and mainstream Germans appeared at the mass rally, according to the online German news organization NIUS.
So it has come to this: “Mainstream Germans” now unembarrassedly call for the obliteration of the Jewish state. These “mainstream Germans” have convinced themselves that they no longer need feel any guilt about the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, now that they can concentrate on the Holocaust being perpetrated, so they allow themselves to believe, by the Jews of Israel on their innocent Palestinian victims in Gaza. It’s preposterous, and sickening.
Signs were on display declaring “Israel has no respect for [sic] Holocaust.”
One eyewitness told NIUS that “The noise could be heard in the prayer room” in the synagogue. NUIS wrote that according to one eyewitness, “The demonstration was perceived by the Jewish community as threatening.” The eyewitness added, “What the city of Munich has achieved by approving this demonstration is to terrify the Jewish population.”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told i24NEWS, “it is beyond an outrage that the local government allowed a pro-Hamas mob to march outside Munich synagogue, especially on the holy day of Shabbat. 4,000 antisemites given government sanction to curse Israel with tropes in front of a Jewish House of prayer! SWC urges State and Federal authorities to protect the Jewish community from antisemites and government officials who approved this attack.”
The Süddeutsche Zeitung paper reported one speaker at the anti-Israel protest rejected Israel’s existence, saying, “we do not recognize the right to exist if it means displacement and oppression. We only recognize the rights of the oppressed.” Israel was termed a “terrorist state” and a “Zionist regime” at the rally.
This was not a rally about a change in Israel’s boundaries, or about what a “two-state solution” should look like.It was a call for the obliteration of the Jewish state, which according to the protesters had no moral right to exist on land the Jews “had stolen from the Palestinians.” As for the Israeli Jews, the implication was that they would all have to be expelled, or killed.
NIUS reported one of the organizers from Palestine Speaks group equated Zionism with racism. “Together against Israeli fascism,” was charged at the event and reportedly a number of participants brought large keys with them, which is recognized as a symbol for the demand of the return of Palestinians to Israeli territory….
These keys are symbolic, meant to signify the properties left behind by Arabs who in 1948-1949 fled the state of Israel. They represent, too, the “right of return” of more than five million Palestinians who are demanding to be allowed back into the area where Israel now stands, thereby overwhelming the Jewish population.
Gerald Hetzel, a 27-year-old law student from Passau in Bavaria, set up a screen across from the tent encampment to show footage of Hamas’ brutality and murder spree on October 7.He told the Bild paper that “I think the camp is massively intimidating and stressful for Jewish students.” He added “It helps the most to show what happened. In the camp there is never any talk about the fact that more than 130 Israeli hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip.”
Hetzel also oversees the German-Israel Friendship Society (DIG) in Passau. While Hetzel and DIG-Passau engage in energetic opposition to mushrooming hatred of the Jewish state in southern Germany, observers of pro-Israel activity in German say the DIG-Stuttgart in the neighboring state of Baden-Württemberg refuses to call on the mayor of Stuttgart, Frank Nopper, to delete information on funding Hamas via the Palestine Committee Stuttgart on the city’s website….
The mayor of Stuttgart, Frank Nopper, continues to show information on the city’s website that lists ways to fund Hamas.
Israeli lawyers told i24 that Nopper can delete all postings of NGOs, including Palestine Committee Stuttgart, on the city website to ensure that the city does not enable Palestine Committee Stuttgart to finance the terrorist entities, Hamas and Samidoun [the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network]. Nopper has refused to scrub the city’s website of NGOs, a move which would make Hamas and Samidoun terror financing much more difficult.
While the neighboring state of North-Rhine-Westphalia has not hesitated to ban the pro-Hamas group Palestine Solidarity Duisburg, in Baden-Würtemburg it is a different story. There the mayor of Stuttgart, Frank Nopper, has refused to remove from the city’s website the list of NGOs that enable Hamas and Samidoun terror financing. He has refused to give an explanation for his failure to act. There needs to be pressure put on him to resign. Perhaps the Alternative für Deutschland anti-Muslim immigrant party, which is strong in Bavaria, will help remove Nopper from office.
Meanwhile, in Munich, 4,000 Muslims, leftists, and “mainstream Germans” have had a high old time trying to terrify Jews inside the city’s main synagogue. In front of the synagogue, they screamed “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which means, if rightly understood, that the Jewish state must be obliterated, and a 23rd Arab state be created in its stead. The Jewish inhabitants would, of course, have to be expelled or killed. Another slogan of the rioters was “No To Genocide,” which refers, of course, to the non-existent “genocide” supposedly carried out by the IDF on the people of Gaza. Never mind the 15 million text messages, the 16 million robocalls, the 100,000 telephone calls, and the 9 million leaflets that the IDF has sent or made or dropped in order to warn civilians in Gaza away from areas, and buildings, about to be targeted. Never mind the eight field hospitals that Israel has set up in Gaza to treat Gazan civilians. Never mind the civilian-to-combatant ratio of nearly 1:1 in Gaza, a figure that, according to Professor John Spencer of West Point, is lower than that of “any army in the history of warfare.” It’s all a Zionist trick to make us think well of the apartheid colonial-settler genocidal state of Israel. We’re not fooled.
