The Nine-Billion-Dollar Somali Fraud

The nine billion dollars that a network of nearly a hundred Somali-Americans in Minneapolis stole from American taxpayers is the largest fraud — forget about the Yazoo Land and the Teapot Dome scandals — in American history. The investigation is still going on, and still more frauds may be discovered, and other Somalis may emerge as participants. But it’s not too early for a summing up, at this stage, of the story so far, which you can find here: “Minnesota’s Somali-linked scams drain US taxpayers of a sum rivaling Somalia’s GDP: Read how the welfare system was gamed in a multi-billion-dollar fraud,” by Rukma Rathore, OpIndia, December 30, 2025:

With around 80,000 residents, Minnesota hosts the biggest Somali diaspora in the United States. Many of them are refugees from the civil war that has raged in their native nation since 1991. They moved to Minneapolis and its suburbs, enticed by meatpacking jobs, Lutheran charity networks, and a more generous welfare system than others.

The civil war in Somalia is over. Shouldn’t our government now insist that those who claimed “refugee status” because they fled that civil war, and have not become citizens, now be asked to return home? After all, they are “refugees” no longer. And shouldn’t those Somali-Americans who may be citizens, but are shown to have taken part in this immense series of frauds while they were applying for American citizenship, now be stripped of their citizenship?

Notably, anti-India Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is also of Somali descent. However, the community has often come into the spotlight following significant scandals that erupted concerning Minnesota’s social programmes. An astounding $9 billion is the anticipated overall damage, which is close to Somalia’s entire GDP.

It was also determined that of the 98 defendants indicted and over 60 convictions in significant fraud cases across the state, 85 are either Somali Americans or of Somali heritage.

The truth comes to light
On 27th December, the issue surfaced after Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old YouTuber, exposed the pervasive fraud at childcare centres run by Somalis using publicly accessible data from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. These facilities had received millions in government subsidies, but the footage showed deserted playgrounds, blacked-out windows, closed doors at licensed daycares and angry employees who screamed or ran away when confronted.

A woman even yelled, “Don’t open up, it’s ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).” A neighbour also attested that no kids had been spotted there in eight years. Shirley stated, “This could be the largest fraud scandal in US history,” during his investigation. He pointed out that federal and state funding were diverted to businesses that had negligible or no operational history….

It was a 23-year-old investigator, Nick Shirley, and not anyone working for the state of Minnesota, who managed to supply the evidence of empty childcare centers that had received $110 million in state aid, which turned out to be a small part of the massive fraud. A coup for Mr.Shirley, and a great embarrassment for the state government, including Governor Tim Walz, who had continued to sing the praises of the Somali community against those who expressed alarm over its role in the fraud.

In addition to whatever punishment — prison time and large fines — these fraudsters may receive, there is a further punishment now being considered: stripping the fraudsters of their American citizenship, and, after they have served their sentences, deporting them back to the hellhole of Somalia, which will be a source of great anguish for them.

It would have been bad enough had the original figure of $1 billion stolen by fraudsters not increased first to $3 billion, then to $5 billion, and now to a scarcely believable sum of $9 billion. But still worse is the fact that much of that money ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group in Somalia that has links to Al Qaeda. The Minnesota taxpayer has thus been helping to fund Al-Shabaab, and hence, also, Al-Qaeda. The two government officials most responsible for this state of affairs are Walz and the state’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison. One hopes this will put a stake through the heart of their political ambitions. Given their failures to investigate, or even to admit to, the Somali scandal, Walz and Ellison ought to be finished as politicians. But who knows? The scandal-ridden Ilhan Omar was a friend to at least one of the Somalis, a restaurant owner who was involved in the fraud. Yet Omar still riding high, still sure to be reelected by her Somali-heavy electorate.

“I wouldn’t be proud to have the largest Somalian – look at their nation. Look how bad their nation is. It’s not even a nation. It’s just people walking around killing each other. Look, these Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. Billions and billions,” Trump later outlined.

“Those Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country,” he further stated. “Go back to your own country and figure out your constitution. All she (Omar Ilhan) does is complain about this country, and without this country, she would not be in very good shape. She probably wouldn’t be alive right now. Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on Earth. I don’t know. I haven’t been there, I won’t be there anytime soon, I hope,” the president added.

The Trump administration intends to deploy additional federal agents to Minneapolis with the authority to target Somalis, especially those who have final deportation orders.

Does anyone take issue with Trump’s description of Somalia? Isn’t it, by every measure, including the World Happiness Index, the Religious Freedom Index, the Corruption Barometer, the Violence Scale, close to being “the worst country on Earth”? Why import into the U.S. any more of those people who come, according to many foreign observers besides Trump, from the “worst country in the world”? And after this nine-billion-dollar loss of government aid money meant for the poor, to Somali immigrant scammers and their progeny, isn’t it time to halt all immigration from Somalia, and to insist that all Somalis convicted of crimes will, at the conclusion of their sentences, be stripped of American citizenship (if they managed to acquire it), and be sent back to their hideous country of origin on the Horn of Africa?

CAIR Action Operates Illegally In 22 States

December 11, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Must Read, News, Policy, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Terrorism, Violence/by Jihad Watch

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a louche group that claims to be a “civil rights organization” but in fact is a Muslim supremacist group that spreads anti-Israel propaganda, admires Hamas, conducts voting drives for Muslim candidates, and warns its members not to cooperate with law enforcement on terrorism. It now turns out that it has been operating “without legal authority” or proper “registration” in 22 states. More on CAIR’s widespread violations of the law that have just been revealed can be found here: “CAIR political arm operating illegally in 22 states, linked to Turkish gov’t, report finds,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, December 9, 2025:

The political arm of the Council of American-Islamic Relations has been acting without legal authority, licenses, or registration in 22 American states, according to a joint report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), first published in The Washington Free Beacon.

CAIR National is known for its radical anti-Israel activities, pro-Palestinian stance, and potential ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR Action is its political arm that operates as a national political-solicitation and voter-mobilization enterprise.

CAIR Action does have the ability to engage in political activity under its 501(c)(4) status. However, this is only the case if it complies with state and federal reporting laws and registrations, which the NCRI and IAN found was not the case in 22 states.

In these 22 states, CAIR Action solicits donations, collects membership dues, and coordinates votes, all without the license or registration required of political nonprofits. Even in Washington, DC, where the group is incorporated and from where it directs its nationwide activity, CAIR Action has never obtained the Basic Business License it would need to be able to operate legally. In California, it is registered but only as an out-of-state nonprofit, which does not allow it to solicit funds. In the other states, there are no registrations.

According to the report, that makes CAIR Action an unlicensed interstate political-solicitation enterprise, operating “entirely outside the legal framework required for entities seeking funds across state lines.”

This creates two legal problems: first, federal criminal exposure, such as wire fraud, deceptive solicitation, and false statements to the Internal Revenue Service; and second, state-enforced exposure nationwide. The latter is because every state in which CAIR Action solicits funds can treat its fundraising and political influence as unlawful. Because CAIR Action is openly presented as CAIR National’s political arm, any unauthorized solicitation is CAIR National’s responsibility.

The report also found that CAIR Action’s ecosystem exhibits a “converging pattern of foreign-state alignment,” especially regarding Turkey. This includes sponsorships from Turkish Airlines (state-linked), political programming hosted at the Turkish government’s Diyanet Center of America, multiple CAIR leaders’ appearances on Turkey’s state-run broadcaster (TRT World), and technical indicators showing CAIR Action’s official accounts routing through the Turkey App Store.

Taken together, these factors indicate that CAIR Action is functioning as an unregistered national 501(c)(4) political-influence machine operating entirely outside the regulatory framework that Congress requires, the report added.

NCRI and IAN urgently referred CAIR Action to the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service for investigation….

What a mess CAIR has created for itself. It could potentially have to shut down the operations of CAIR Action in 22 states. It might have to close down CAIR Action altogether. And as the just-released report gets greater coverage, the pressure on CAIR to shut down certain unauthorized operations will increase. The bad publicity for CAIR could decrease membership and drive away donors.

CAIR offers hollow bravado, but things are not looking good for this unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land trial. It could potentially have to shut down its operations in 22 states. It might have to close down CAIR Action altogether. And with this new information about CAIR Action’s violation of the law now published, how many more governors will follow the lead of Abbott and De Santis, and designate CAIR, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, to be a “foreign terrorist organization” and a “transnational criminal organization”?

Texas Congressional Candidate Burns Qur’an, Leftist Media Outraged

August 29, 2025/in Culture War, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

If Valentina Gomez had posted a video of herself burning the Bible, the same people who are calling her a “bigot” and claiming that she is “desperate for attention” would be hailing her courage.

Note that in the avalanche of negative courage that Gomez has received for daring to burn the only religious text that leftists respect, not a single leftist “journalist” thought it newsworthy to ask her why she was burning the Qur’an, or to say even the smallest thing about why anyone might have any problem with the book. No, instead, all we get is a monochromatic “Valentina Gomez is bad for burning the holy book,” with no curiosity whatsoever about what might be in it that could be problematic. Nor do any of the establishment media stories about Gomez say anything about jihad terrorism at all, or about the death threats from jihad groups for anyone who burns the Qur’an, which makes burning it a stand against violent intimidation and bullying. The less the public knows about all that, the easier it will be for establishment media propagandists to portray her as an evil fascist.

WATCH: Texas Republican candidate Valentina Gomez is going viral after lighting the Islamic Qur’an

“Latina firebrand desperate for attention torches Quran in vile stunt to ‘end Islam,’” by Victoria Churchill, Daily Mail, August 26, 2025:

A Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives is gaining attention for her latest social media stunt.

Valentina Gomez, running in the GOP primary for Texas’ 31st congressional District posted a video on X Monday of her burning the Quran with a flamethrower.

‘America is a Christian nation, so those terrorist Muslims can *** to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel,’ she said in the video.

This isn’t the first time Gomez has tried to make a national splash by courting controversy.

Earlier this year, Gomez barged on stage during a Muslim event at the Texas Capitol, and used the occasion to decry Islam as the ‘religion of rape, incest, and pedophilia, where they bow down to a stupid rock, and a false prophet.’…

“MAGA candidate sparks backlash after burning Quran and promising to ‘end Islam’ in Texas,” by Oliver O’Connell, Independent, August 26, 2025:

There has been a furious reaction to an anti-Islamic campaign ad posted by a far-right MAGA congressional candidate in which she sets fire to the Quran with a flamethrower.

Valentina Gomez, who is running for Texas’ 31st District in 2026 as a Republican, shared the extreme video on X as part of her vow to “end Islam” in the Lone Star State.

Approximately one percent of Texas’s population is Muslim.

Gomez has a history of posting violent stunts and using hateful rhetoric against Muslims, the LGBT+ community, Black people, and immigrants, in an attempt to gain notoriety to further a flailing attempt at a political career that has so far gone nowhere.

“Your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all,” Gomez said before setting fire to a copy of the holy book.

“America is a Christian nation, so those terrorist Muslims can f*** off to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel.”

Gomez’s video ended with her declaring that she is “powered by Jesus Christ.”

Condemnation came quickly in response to the clip.

“This isn’t politics. It’s incitement,” podcaster Brian Allen wrote on X. “When the mosques start burning, remember: this was the match and the Texas GOP handed her the lighter.”

Another X user added, “She will literally do anything for clout. Anything. Why is this person allowed to incite hate and murder?”

One X user wrote: “Get out of my state. We have no place for intolerance and hateful people who don’t believe in basic human rights such as THE FIRST AMENDMENT which allows for freedom of religion. Why don’t you learn the basics before running for office.”…

The Notorious Muslim Cleric Siraj Wahhaj and Zohran Mamdani

July 14, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Communism, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

Among the admirers and supporters of Zohran Mamdani — such people as Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Linda Sarsour — we can add the name Siraj Wahhaj, an Islamic supremacist who has contributed his financial mite to a PAC supporting Mamdani. More on Siraj Wahhaj, and his support for Zohran Mamdani, can be found here: “Pro-Mamdani PAC Took Donation From Islamist Cleric Who Vouched For Terror Plot Mastermind,” by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller, July 10, 2025:

A super PAC supporting Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor accepted $1,000 from a Muslim cleric linked to the architects of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist plots.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj donated to the super PAC Unity and Justice Fund in May, days before it funneled most of its money to a PAC exclusively supporting Mamdani for mayor, campaign finance records show.

Wahhaj has called for an Islamic state in America, and Mary Jo White, formerly the Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, named him among involved people who are “unindicted persons” in the trial of a terror plot mastermind praised by Wahhaj as “a strong preacher of Islam.” White’s memo also said that the people on that list “may be alleged as co-conspirators,” but Wahhaj was never charged.

Unity and Justice Fund, Mamdani’s campaign and Wahhaj, who leads the Brooklyn-based mosque Masjid At-Taqwa, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. Wahhaj has denied any involvement in criminal conspiracies since the trial and called the FBI and CIA “the real terrorists.”

Three children of Wahhaj also received life sentences in 2024 on terrorism, kidnapping and conspiracy to murder charges for organizing a jihadist training compound in New Mexico used to plot attacks against the U.S. government, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Wahhaj told the press that he helped police find the training compound by reporting its location to the authorities.

In 1995, prosecutors named the imam among dozens “who may be alleged to be co-conspirators” in the trial of several men convicted of planning a terrorism campaign that included the first World Trade Center attack, court records show. The 1993 bombing killed six people and injured more than a thousand others, while the other violent plans were thwarted. Al Qaeda terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers eight years later in the 9/11 attacks.

Defense lawyers used Wahhaj in the 1995 case as a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, a cleric who later served a life sentence, according to media reports and court documents. Prosecutors said Abdel-Rahman, commonly known as “the Blind Sheikh,” helped orchestrate plans to murder hundreds of Americans, attack a U.S. military installation and assassinate Egypt’s then-president. Several people connected to the World Trade Center bombing attended or visited Wahhaj’s Brooklyn mosque around the time of the massacre. Abdel-Rahman died in 2017.

Wahhaj testified that he had met Abdel-Rahman on multiple occasions and called him a “respected scholar.” By that time, Abdel-Rahman had already been a founder and spiritual leader of an Egyptian militant group that the State Department later designated a terrorist organization.

“He has memorized the many statements of Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him,” Wahhaj said in court. “And he is bold, as a strong preacher of Islam.”

Those statements included such remarks by Muhammad, found In the “reliable” (sahih) collections of hadith, as “war is deceit” and “I have been made victorious through terror.”

Wahhaj has long drawn controversy by advocating for America’s form of government to end.

“In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam,” Wahhaj once said in a sermon, according to The Wall Street Journal….

Mamdani has seen widespread support from the left’s pro-Palestinian factions over his stances on Middle East conflicts. Voices on the left and the right criticized him since June for refusing to disavow the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which activists have made into a rallying cry despite it historically being tied to terrorism against Jews. Mamdani said the slogan symbolized “a desperate desire for equality.”…

As everyone, including Zohran Mamdani, well knows, the slogan “globalize the intifada” does not express a “desperate desire for equality.” The word “intifada”a refers to two campaigns of mass murdering of Israeli men, women, and children, carried out by Palestinian terrorists, that resulted in the deaths of more than one thousand Israelis. The first intifada lasted from 1987 to 1990, and the much deadlier second intifada lasted from 2000 to 2005. To “globalize the intifada” means to carry out attacks on Jews not just in Israel, but around the globe. That slogan expresses not a “desire for equality,” as Mamdani absurdly maintains, but rather, urges its hearers to take part in the mass killing of Jews — that is, a “genocide.” Yet Mamdani continues to defend that call to “globalize the intifada,” and tries to mislead the public as to the phrase’s real meaning.

Would Zohran Mamdani care to explain why Siraj Wahhaj, a Muslim cleric with ties to terrorism, who has called for the downfall of the American government, a man with three of his children now serving life sentences for their terrorist-related activities, would want to support him? Will he denounce Wahhaj, and demand that his donation to the Unity and Justice Fund, a PAC that exists only to support Mamdani, be returned to Siraj Wahhaj? No, of course not.

Norwegian Journalist Rebecca Mistereggen on the state of Norway (and Scandinavia) thanks to Islamic immigration

May 24, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Immigration, Iranian influence, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Terrorism, Video/by Vlad Tepes Blog

In a fearless and deeply personal interview with RAIR Foundation USA, Norwegian journalist Rebecca Mistereggen exposes how mass Islamic immigration, weaponized hate speech laws, and enforced multiculturalism have turned Europe into a censored, unsafe, and unrecognizable continent – where truth-tellers are silenced, women are stripped of freedom, and national identity is collapsing.

Mass immigration. Exploding crime. Government-enforced silence. Rebecca Mistereggen knows what’s destroying Europe, and she’s naming it. In her exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation, the Norwegian journalist exposed the raw reality of life under Europe’s new regime: fear, censorship, and a continent slipping into chaos. As a leading voice at Norway’s Document Media, Mistereggen is doing what the legacy press won’t: telling the truth while it still can be told.

“Islamic immigration began long before 2015,” she explained. “It started in the 1960s. But the damage accelerated with mass migration—first a demographic shift, then a cultural collapse.”

Mistereggen was clear: what’s happening in Norway and across Europe is not mere cultural transformation. It is civilizational dismantling. She described a Norway that no longer resembles the country she grew up in—a nation where women are afraid to walk freely, crime surges are covered up, and even the police remain silent for fear of offending migrants.

“There were attack rapes in Oslo happening every summer. I felt stripped of my freedom as a teenage girl. I had to constantly look over my shoulder just to go outside.”

She pointed to chilling statistics. “Somali men in Oslo are 15 times more violent than ethnic Norwegians,” she revealed, citing an official report. Other high-crime migrant groups include those from Ethiopia, Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, and Russia. Yet the state remains willfully blind.

“We have open borders with Sweden, where you can now hire a 12-year-old as a mercenary. That’s how bad it’s gotten.”

But even worse than the violence is the silencing.

“We don’t have free speech anymore. Norway has a ‘racism law’—Paragraph 185—which means minorities can’t be prosecuted for hate speech, but the majority can.” She recalled calling the police after someone graffitied a church with “Kill the Whites.” The response? “They told me it wasn’t hate speech. Just vandalism. Imagine if I wrote ‘Kill all the Muslims’ on a mosque. Do you think that would be vandalism?”

Rebecca described the two-pronged assault on free society: a state-sponsored regime of “positive discrimination” that punishes native citizens while coddling migrants, and a cultural witch-hunt against dissenters who are socially destroyed for telling the truth.

“If you post support for Trump, criticize COVID policies, or question climate change, you can be de-banked, de-platformed, or fired. You can be ostracized by your family. People are terrified.”

She shared a disturbing case: an elderly man in a Norwegian town asked a migrant gang to stop intimidating shoppers. He was knocked unconscious. “The police ignored the case until media pressure forced an investigation. Then, a peaceful parade against violence was cancelled after threats. The next day, someone spray-painted ‘Kill the Whites’ on the church. Still no hate crime investigation.”

Mistereggen emphasized how Quran-burning protests—an act of free expression—are now criminalized in parts of Europe.

“In Sweden, Salwan Momika was murdered for burning a Quran. His friend was fined the next day for the same act. The case went cold almost immediately, despite the fatwa against Momika. Sweden now has a de facto blasphemy law.”

She emphasized how Islamic immigration and EU centralization have destroyed Europe’s uniqueness.

“Europe used to be the most diverse continent on Earth. You went to Paris, you felt French culture. Now it’s just like Oslo. The continent has become one uniform gray zone.”

Even worse, she warned, is the coordinated effort to glorify Islam while erasing Christianity.

“Our state church reads from the Quran on Good Friday. Schools are now required to teach how beautiful Islam is. Meanwhile, Christianity is gone.”

And in Sweden? “There’s already a Sharia Party. Yes, you heard that right. They’ve even won elections in some areas.”

When asked how her work has affected her personally, Rebecca was candid.

“People have tried to ruin my life. But I’ve always spoken my mind. I’ve had supportive friends and family. Islam hasn’t crushed me yet. COVID was harder – I had to fight everyone over that.”

But she made her stance crystal clear: “I’d rather die than let my country become Islamic. It’s not going to happen. Europe has kicked Islam out twice before. There will be a third time.”

Her message to Americans was blunt: “Don’t think this can’t happen to you. It’s already begun. Learn from Europe’s mistakes – before it’s too late.”

RAIR Foundation thanks Rebecca Mistereggen for her courageous work and truth-telling, and looks forward to future collaborations as the fight for freedom continues.

TEXAS: Department of Justice Announces Investigation of Muslim EPIC City

May 12, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Must Read, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

There are serious concerns about the application of Sharia in this place, and so the investigation is entirely warranted, although it is not at all clear that the investigators will know what danger signs to look for. In any case, the fact that any investigation is being conducted at all is a tribute to the heroic efforts of the great Amy Mek.

“Department of Justice announces investigation of Muslim EPIC City,” by Caroline Love and Penelope Rivera, KERA, May 9, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The U.S. Department of Justice is opening an investigation into a proposed Muslim development of a North Texas mosque.

Sen. John Cornyn sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon last month asking them to to investigate potential “religious discrimination” at the East Plano Islamic Center’s EPIC City, a proposed housing development that would be located in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties.

Cornyn said in a press release on Friday the U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation in response to his concerns.

“I am grateful to Attorney General Bondi and the Department of Justice for hearing my concerns and opening an investigation into the proposed EPIC City development in North Texas,” Cornyn said. “Religious discrimination and Sharia Law have no place in the Lone Star State. Any violations of federal law must be swiftly prosecuted, and I know under the Trump administration, they will be.”

Dan Cogdell, the attorney for EPIC, said the North Texas mosque will cooperate with the investigation.

“EPIC will cooperate fully with any and all investigations — regardless of how misguided and unnecessary they are,” Cogdell said.

EPIC City is a proposed 402-acre development associated with the East Plano Islamic Center mosque. It would be roughly 40 miles northeast of Dallas near the city of Josephine. The mixed-use development would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single- and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.

Yasir Qadhi, a resident scholar at the East Plano Islamic Center and one of the people involved in the project planning, told KERA in an interview last year EPIC City is not exclusive to Muslim residents.

“It’s an open community,” Qadhi said. “Anybody can come in. We’re welcoming people of all backgrounds and diversity and we’re offering them facilities that we think would be very, very useful.”…

Mustafaa Carroll, the executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth office of the Council of American Islamic relations, said at a press conference in April that Abbott and Paxton have abused their power by launching groundless investigations into the East Plano Islamic Center and its project and violating their rights to religious expression….

EU to provide $11 Million to Highlight the Contribution of the Qur’an and Islam to European Civilization

April 19, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

The study will cover the period between 1150 and 1850, when Islam had no influence on European civilization except as a constant existential threat. This is wasted money that will be spent on fantasy and provide evidence of nothing more than modern Europe’s capitulation.

“‘The European Qu’ran [sic]’: Falsifying European History With Funding from the EU,” by Hélène de Lauzun, European Conservative, April 16, 2025:

The European Union is preparing to provide €10 million in funding for a scientific research project aimed at highlighting the contribution of the Qu’ran [sic] and the Muslim religion to European civilisation. The influence of the Muslim Brotherhood is evident behind this undertaking.

The objective of this programme, entitled ‘The European Qur’an,’ the idea of which was launched six years ago and which is due to last until 2026, is to “challenge traditional perceptions of the Qur’anic text and well-established ideas about European religious and cultural identities” through travelling exhibitions, conferences, and book publications. The starting point of the project’s initiators is that the influence of Islam on European culture is greatly underestimated. “Our project is built on the conviction that the Qur’an has played an important role in the formation of medieval and early modern European religious diversity and identity and continues to do so,” reads the website homepage. The project aims to cover a chronological span of seven hundred years, from 1150 to 1850, from the Iberian Peninsula to Hungary.

All of this could be part of a field of scientific research (almost) like any other, if a clearly militant design were not at work in the background, as revealed by an investigation conducted by the French conservative newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche: several academics involved in the process are notoriously close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The French academic Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, known—and persecuted—for her work on the entryism of the Muslim Brotherhood into both academic and political circles, warns against this organisation, which has gradually established itself as an essential “institutional interlocutor,” particularly in its interactions with European programmes, as she explains in an interview with Le Figaro….

‘House of David’ Replaces Jews With Muslims

Biblical Israel just wasn’t diverse enough.

The story of the rise of David, a shepherd boy, into a hero, a king and one of the great religious lyricists, is a phenomenal drama that Hollywood has fumbled again and again. For different reasons.

1951’s ‘David and Bathsheba’ was the typical clunky overdramatized spectacle of the era and the less said about Richard Gere as David the better. NBC’s Kings was an interesting, but baffling TV series, setting the struggle between Saul and David in a modern-day New York City ruled by kings.

Amazon Prime ‘House of David’ is more repugnant, but that has more to do with our own age than anything else. Our age is woke, Amazon Prime’s originals are particularly woke and ‘House of David’ starts out by jettisoning the Jewishness of the story in the most woke way possible by replacing both Saul and David with Arab Muslim actors.

David, traditionally seen as a redhead, becomes the latest ‘ginger’ to bite the dust and be replaced by what woke Hollywood decided is a more diverse appearance.

I recently wrote about a William Tell adaptation bringing in Muslim characters to show how diverse 14th-century Switzerland was. Biblical Israel was also apparently a very diverse place. But in typical woke DEI fashion, that diversity only goes one way, sidelining people who ‘look’ the wrong way and replacing them with more ‘diverse’ Arab Muslims who look the right way.

Woke replacement theology stems from the conviction that Jews are colonial invaders in Israel and the Arab Muslim invaders are the legitimate residents. Having transformed Jesus into a ‘Palestinian’, the next inevitable stage is an Islamic reading in which King David is ‘Daoud’, a Muslim, not Jewish figure.

There is no reason why King David needs to be played by a Jewish actor and the role rarely has been played that way. No more than Saul needs to be played by a Jewish actor. But replacing them both with Arab Muslim actors in a movie that was filmed in Greece and was certainly not a case of staffing lead roles with locals is not a coincidence, it’s a deliberate statement of the woke view of history.

Amazon Prime has long made a point of its diversity quotas which are even more militant than those of any other streamer leading to Rings of Power, a Lord of the Rings multicultural knockoff series, and now a King David story with the protagonist recast to symbolize the replacement of the Jewish population.

What’s at stake in such narratives is that they deny cultural history. The conviction that people in the Middle East must have looked like the Arab Muslims who would later go on to conquer it reverses history. It also covers up the Islamic conquests that actually made much of the Middle East look the way that it does.

An Islamic ‘David’, like an African Cleopatra, also pushes the false genocidal notion that ‘native peoples’ are more authentic as they get darker, and more invasive as they get lighter. This kind of thinking helped justify the ISIS atrocities against the Yazidis, who in many cases had light hair and eyes. It’s used to justify a good deal of the woke racism today.

Woke replacement theology feeds racism and antisemitism. It justifies genocide. And it shows a complete disrespect for the culture and the biblical narrative that it claims to be interested in.

What could possibly go wrong?

Sharia for everyone!

Germany: Muslim party DAVA wins 41 per cent in Duisburg in the European Parliament elections

The fact that Germany no longer looks like Germany in certain areas is evident after the EU elections in voting districts in the highly Islamized city of Duisburg, where Erdogan’s hardcore Muslim party, DAVA, was able to collect 41.10 per cent of the vote.

Voting district 1001 in the city of Duisburg – like many districts in Germany – has already been lost to Islam. There, the Muslim party founded in January, which operates under the bogus name ‘Democratic Alliance for Diversity and Awakening’ (DAVA), was able to mobilise its Islamic voters and achieve a shocking election result. With 41.10 per cent of the vote, the Muslim party did best by far. In second place was the AfD with 14.16 per cent, followed by the SPD with 10.96 per cent. The CDU achieved 8.68 per cent.

DAVA, which is considered to be Islamist and the extended arm of Erdogan, celebrated its victory in Duisburg on social media: ‘ Let’s see what we can achieve together’ was the party’s message to its Muslim voters.

What they want to achieve can be described in one word: Islamisation.

A World-Historical Transformation Is Taking Place in Britain, Yet Few Have Noticed

June 10, 2024/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Jihad Watch

A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.

The English actor-turned-political-activist Lawrence Fox recently noted what was happening: “The Mayor of London is a Muslim. The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim. The Mayor of Leeds is Muslim. Mayor of Blackburn – Muslim. The mayor of Sheffield is a Muslim. The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim. The mayor of Luton is a Muslim. The mayor of Oldham is Muslim. The mayor of Rochdale is Muslim. All this was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of 66 million people in England.”

This kind of thing has happened before, but few remember. Back in the days when our schools and universities concentrated on teaching actual facts rather than leftist propaganda, race hatred, and gender fantasy, every schoolchild learned about the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Nowadays one would be hard-pressed to find someone under twenty who knows what a “Norman” was (they were people from Normandy, in northern France, where a large number of Norsemen from Scandinavia had settled), but a few decades ago any random student would have been able to tell you that this conquest was not just a military victory. It heralded the thorough transformation of English society.

The invading Normans were few in number compared to the English, but once they had defeated the defenders, they set about systematically to ensure that England would remain theirs in perpetuity. They removed the native English from positions of political and ecclesiastical power. Norman French mingled with the Old English language, ultimately creating the English language as we know it today. Historian Richard Southern observed that “no country in Europe, between the rise of the barbarian kingdoms and the 20th century, has undergone so radical a change in so short a time as England experienced after 1066.”

Until now. Lawrence Fox continued: “Today there are over 3,000 mosques in England. There are over 130 sharia courts. There are more than 50 Sharia Councils. 78 percent of Muslim women do not work, receive state support + free accommodation. 63 percent of Muslims do not work, receive state support + free housing. State-supported Muslim families with an average of 6 to 8 children receive free accommodation. Now every school in the UK is required to teach lessons about Islam. Has anyone ever been given an opportunity to vote for this?”

There is more. Read the rest here.

The way Italy is going, before too long all students will be completely exempt from studying Dante, or anything besides the Qur’an.

Backlash as Muslim children in Italy exempted from studying Dante

by Nick Squires, Telegraph, May 24, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Italian school’s decision to exempt Muslim children from studying Dante because the mediaeval poet placed Mohammed in hell in The Divine Comedy has sparked a backlash and a debate over cancel culture.

Politicians from both the Left and Right said that Dante was a pillar of Italian literature and that it was unacceptable for children to be exempted from studying his writing because of their faith.

The row broke out after a secondary school in Treviso in the north of the country reportedly allowed two Muslim children, aged around 14, to not attend classes in which The Divine Comedy was being studied.

Written at the start of the 14th century, it is an allegorical poem that revolves around a man’s journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, aided by two guides, Virgil and Beatrice.

In the epic work, Dante places the Prophet Mohammed and his cousin Ali in Hell, where they are tortured by sword-wielding demons.

“How is Mohammed mangled! Before me walks Ali weeping, from the chin his face cleft to the forelock,” Dante wrote.

The exemption was criticised by MPs from across the political spectrum.

‘Shameful case of cultural cancellation’
Simona Malpezzi, a senator with the centre-Left opposition Democratic Party, said it was “deeply wrong” to deprive any pupils of the chance to acquire the “deep knowledge of Italian culture that studying Dante brings. Knowing Dante does not take anything away from children’s religious faith and adds a great deal to their knowledge of Italian culture”.

Federico Mollicone, an MP from Brothers of Italy, the party led by prime minister Giorgia Meloni, said: “This is just the latest shameful case of cultural cancellation. An exemption like this not only undermines our national identity but deprives new generations of formative scholastic study.”

At International Al-Quds Day Rally in Dearborn, Michigan Protesters Chant ‘Death to America!’; Speakers at the Rally: America Is One of the ‘Rottenest Countries’ on Earth; Israel Is ISIS, Nazis, a Cancer

MEMRI, April 5, 2024:

At an International Al-Quds Day rally in Dearborn, Michigan, held on April 5, 2024 and streamed live on Dearborn.org on Facebook, protesters chanted: “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” Michigan activist, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute, Tarek Bazzi said that it is not “Genocide Joe” that has to go, referring to President Biden, but it is the entire system of the United States “that has to go.” He Quoted Malcolm X, saying: “We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this earth.”

Bazzi added that “death to Israel” has become the “most logical chant shouted across the world today.” Michigan Imam Usama Abdulghani, who is also affiliated with the Hadi Institute, said that the founder of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini established the International Al-Quds Day because he realized that Israel was a “cancer” and an “evil settler colonialist project.”

He said that the “people of conscience” recognize that Israel is ISIS, Nazis, and fascists.

At the end of the rally, Tarek Bazzi encouraged a young child to lead the chant: “Free Palestine! From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free!”

Muslim Brotherhood Leader: Oct. 7 Paves Way for Conquest of Rome

March 8, 2024/in Culture War, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Video/by Jihad Watch

“Rome will one day be in our hands, and every house and every tent will have a Muslim in it.” — Tareq Al-Suwaidan, Kuwaiti Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader.

The first rule of Islamic fight club is that non-Muslims aren’t allowed to talk about it. And if it must be talked about, it has to be treated as a local phenomenon. That means insisting that Hamas is attacking Israel for political reasons, the Houthis are shooting at ships for political reasons, the Fulani are massacring Christians in Nigeria for political reasons, the Pakistanis, the Taliban, the Iranians, the Syrians, the Iraqis, ISIS and Mohammed who decided to stab someone on a train are all doing it for completely unrelated reasons.

On the other side, devout Islamic leaders focus on the linkage. Every battle is a step toward global conquest and the Fourth Reich of the Ummah.

They’ll say it out loud, too. (MEMRI)

Kuwaiti Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan bragged that he had met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh a week earlier.

“I was just last week with my brother Ismail Haniyeh, so I got the details of what is going on. Istanbul, Allah be praised, is now in our hands. Rome will one day be in our hands, and every house and every tent will have a Muslim in it. Palestine will be free – there is no question about it. It started by the way – October 7 was a very clear start.”

It’s not about oppression. It’s not about “open air concentration camps” or any of the other lies. It’s about the Islamic manifest destiny of conquering the world and subjugating all non-Muslims.

Istanbul is viewed as a model for the conquest of Europe. Islamic leaders dream of turning Rome and every non-Muslim city into another Istanbul.

That is what Oct, 7 was really about.

February 15, 2024/in Culture War, Hot Topics, Must Read, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

This effort is going on now all over the U.S., and none of the major churches have any response, or prepare their young people in any way to withstand the appeal of dawah.

“Miami Imam Dr. Fadi Kablawi: We Are Not Here To Kill Anyone; If We Can Take Your Country And Implement Shari’a law, We Will Do It, But Only According To Your Laws, By Becoming The Majority; I Am Here To Convert America,” MEMRI, January 26, 2024:

Dr. Fadi Kablawi said in a January 26, 2024 Friday sermon at Masjid As Sunna An Nabawiyyah North Miami, which was streamed live on Facebook that Zionism is a problem for the whole world. He said that if it serves their interests, “those sociopaths” will do what they are doing to the Palestinians in Gaza to the Christians, Chinese, Germans, and Americans. Dr. Kablawi said that they have to create “scenarios” like 9/11, assassinations, or explosions around the world, “so they can come and kill us.” He said that Muslims do not wish to kill any Americans or to take over their country. However, Dr. Kablawi said, if the U.S. becomes a Muslim majority country, the citizens would choose to implement shari’a law. He added: “I am here [in the U.S.], so I can covert America.”

Dr. Fadi Kablawi: “Those enemies of human beings, if they do it to the Palestinians in Gaza, they will do it to you if they need to.

[…]

“This is who they are, sociopaths. They will do that to any other person if they just reach a point that they are convinced that it is for their interests. They will do it to the Christians, they will do it to the Chinese, they will do it to the Americans, they will do it to the Germans… By Allah, they will do it to anybody. With Muslims, they have extra reasons to do it. They will do it to everybody.

“So that sign here on the Golden Glades, when you leave… that Hamas is not only your problem or something… It’s your problem too… Hamas is your problem too. Did you see the language? Hamas is going to finish Israel, and they are going to start going to Europe and America. It is going to take a long time, digging a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, dude.

“But anyway, the idea is scare tactics, ‘it is your problem too.’ You know who is your problem too? Zionism is the problem of the world. Take it from me. Go back and read their history, learn their history. Who did assassinations all over the world? Who blew up buildings all over the world? Who blew up American ships? Who did? Hamas or the Mossad? Who blew up [the World Trade Center] on 9/11? Oh…

[…]

“By Allah, oh brothers, we had nothing to do with it, and they will see it. They have to create scenarios like this, so they can come and kill us. Most Americans are naïve and have no clue. All they are worried about is the Super Bowl. We need to change that, we need to propagate that, and change it with people around us.

“Open your mind, we are not here to kill anybody. We are not here to hurt anybody, we don’t want to take over your country. If we can, we will take it, but with means that the law allows us. Here, we are going to make da’wa to the people… Like the guy who emailed me, some guy, Brad Jennings… [He wrote:] ‘Do you want to shari’a laws in America?’ I said if America becomes a majority Muslim [country] then inshallah, we will choose to implement shari’a.

[…]

“Then he says: ‘Go to Gaza, they need dental work.’ I said that there are enough dentists in Gaza, but I am here so I can convert Americans.”

Hamas top dog: ‘Our nation will sit on the throne of the world’

December 11, 2023/in Culture War, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

A recap of Islamophobic fearmongering from some of the world’s top Islamophobes: the top dogs of Hamas.

Hamas Leaders: Our Goal Is Establishment Of Global Islamic Caliphate, Not Just Liberation Of Palestine

MEMRI, December 8, 2023:

While Hamas presents itself as a Palestinian movement whose goal is to eliminate Israel and establish an independent Palestinian state stretching from the River to the Sea, this movement is also part of the global Muslim Brotherhood (MB), whose ultimate goal and vision is the establishment of a worldwide Islamic caliphate. Hamas leaders and spokesmen repeatedly express that their movement will not liberate only Palestine, but aims to bring all the Islamic countries, and eventually the entire world, under Islamic rule. The liberation of Palestine, they stress, is just a prelude to the establishment of a worldwide caliphate: Rome will be conquered by Islam as Constantinople was once conquered, and then the rest of the world will be overtaken as well, including America and Eastern Europe.

Arab writers have in fact slammed Hamas for this aspect of its ideology and rhetoric. In a recent article, published in the wake of Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern Israel, Egyptian author Dr. Mouna Al-Hilmi wrote that Hamas purports to be fighting for the liberation of Palestine, but its ultimate goal, like that of the MB, is the restoration of the caliphate. Yemeni journalist Hani Salem Mashour made similar remarks in a recent article in the Emirati daily Al-Arab.

The following are translated statements by Hamas officials and clerics published by MEMRI over the years in which they articulate the movement’s vision of reestablishing the Islamic caliphate. Also below are excerpts from the articles of the two journalists who criticized Hamas for this.

Hamas Official Fathi Hammad: “We Shall Liberate Our Al-Aqsa Mosque, And Our Cities And Villages, As A Prelude To The Establishment Of The Future Islamic Caliphate”

Hamas Political Bureau member and former Minister of the Interior Fathi Hammad declared on a December 1, 2023 show on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas – Gaza) that the Palestinians are preparing to establish an Islamic caliphate with Jerusalem as its capital. Hesaid:“The [Palestinian] people have been soldiers throughout history. They are now preparing to liberate Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and I am saying this loud and clear: [The Palestinian people] are preparing to establish the Caliphate, with Jerusalem as its capital city, Inshallah. Jerusalem will not only be the capital city of Palestine as an independent state – it will be the capital city of the Islamic Caliphate…

Fathi Hammad made similar remarks in a November 13, 2013 public address in Gaza, when he was serving as Minister of the Interior. He said: “We shall liberate our Al-Aqsa Mosque, and our cities and villages, as a prelude to the establishment of the future Islamic Caliphate. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are at the threshold of a global Islamic civilization era. The fuel and spearhead of this era will be Gaza, and its mujahideen and leaders will be from Gaza, Allah willing.”

Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahar: The Army Of Jerusalem Will Not Liberate Only Palestine; The Whole World Will Come Under An Islamic System “With No Zionism, No Treacherous Christianity”

In a December 12, 2022 show on Al-Masirah TV, affiliated with the Yemeni Houthis, Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahar said: “When we speak about the Army of Jerusalem and the Battle of the Promise of the Hereafter, we are not talking about liberating our land alone – but we believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: ‘Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me.’ The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity, and no killings and crimes, like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries – in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries.”

In a speech aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on September 5, 2010, Al-Zahhar made similar remarks, saying: “Our enterprise extends far beyond Palestine: Palestine in its entirety, the Arab nation in its entirety, the Islamic nation in its entirety, and the entire world.”

Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al: The Nation of Islam Will Sit at the Throne of the World

In an address he gave at the Al-Murabit Mosque in Damascus, which was aired on Al-Jazeera TV on February 3, 2006, Hamas leader Khaled Mash’al stated that the Islamic nation will regain the leadership of the world, and then the West will be full of remorse when it is too late. He said: “Wherever the [Islamic] nation is targeted, its enemies will be defeated, Allah willing. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Palestine. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Iraq, and it will be victorious in all Arab and Muslim lands. ‘Their multitudes will be defeated and turn their backs [and flee].’ These fools will be defeated, the wheel of time will turn, and times of victory and glory will be upon our nation, and the West will be full of remorse, when it is too late…

“Today, the Arab and Islamic nation is rising and awakening, and it will reach its peak, Allah willing. It will be victorious. It will link the present to the past. It will open up the horizons of the future. It will regain the leadership of the world. Allah willing, the day is not far off…

“I say to the [European countries]: Hurry up and apologize to our nation, because if you do not, you will regret it. This is because our nation is progressing and is victorious. Do not leave a black mark in the collective memory of the nation, because our nation will not forgive you.

“Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good. Our nation is moving forwards, and it is in your interest to respect a victorious nation…

“Our nation will be victorious. When it reaches the leadership of the world, and controls its own will decisions, then it will prevent this overt interference [in our affairs], and its pillaging of natural resources, and will prevent these recurring offenses against our land, against our nation, and against our holy places – then you will regret it.”

Hamas Senior Official Ahmad Bahr: The Arab Spring Revolutions Were A Prelude to an Islamic Caliphate

In an April 9, 2011 interview with the Qatari daily Al-Raya, top Hamas official Ahmad Bahr, then deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), said that the Arab Spring uprisings against the dictatorships that the West had installed in the Arab countries heralded the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate. He said: “I would like to say that these [revolutions] are [merely] a prelude to the Islamic Caliphate… [whose establishment] the Prophet [Muhammad] foretold in the hadith: ‘You will have the prophecy, according to Allah’s will. Then will He put an end to it, according to His will. And then there will be a Caliphate by way of prophecy, according to the will of Allah… And there will be a biting kingdom [i.e., an oppressive rule], according to the will of Allah… [and then] a kingdom of coercion, according to the will of Allah… Then there will be a Caliphate by way of prophecy,’ etc. The [term] ‘kingdom of coercion,’ as the hadith [commentators] explained, refers to the dictatorships that oppressed, cheated, killed, and destroyed. These were [created by] Western and American industry, which paved the way for the plundering of all the [Muslim] ummah’s resources – its oil and its agriculture. I hope that this awakening heralds the establishment of a Caliphate by way of prophecy, according to the will of Allah…”[1]

Hamas MP and Cleric Yunis Al-Astal in a Friday Sermon: We Will Conquer Rome, and from There Continue to Conquer the Two Americas and Eastern Europe

In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal said: “Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad. Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs [i.e., the Jews] in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam – this capital of theirs will be an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.

“I believe that our children or our grandchildren will inherit our Jihad and our sacrifices, and Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them. Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls, and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire on the brink of which they stand.”

Similar remarks were made In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on March 5, 2010: “The prophecy of the conquest of Rome remains valid, Allah willing. Just like Constantinople was conquered some 500 years ago, Rome too will be conquered. Our prayers, our fasting, and the charity we give will be to no avail, if we doubt the Prophet Muhammad. How can we proceed along the path of righteousness, if we are not secure in our belief that Rome will be conquered, as promised by the Prophet Muhammad and as proclaimed by Allah?”

Egyptian Writer: Hamas Hides Behind The Slogan Of Liberating Palestine But Is Really Interested In Establishing An Islamic Caliphate

Arab writers have commented on this aspect of Hamas and its ideology. In a recent article in the Egyptian daily Al-Dustour, published in the wake of Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern Israel, Egyptian author, poet and journalist Dr. Mouna Al-Hilmi wrote that Hamas purports to be fighting for the liberation of Palestine, but is not really interested in a Palestinian nation-state. Rather, like its parent movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas’s ultimate goal is the restoration of the global caliphate. Al-Hilmi wrote: “Whoever reads Hamas’ charter will become convinced that it is a terror organization par excellence, which is why many countries have agreed to designate it as such. As stated in its charter, from 1988, Hamas explicitly seeks to destroy or dismantle Israel, while hiding behind [the slogan] of freeing Palestine, which it regards as ‘Muslim’ land. Ever since it won the elections to the legislature [in 2006], the power of the terrorist Hamas has grown, and since it is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, it takes part in the [Brotherhood’s] jihad to establish a global Islamic caliphate…

“Hamas is not interested in liberating the Palestinian homeland, because, ultimately, it does not recognize the idea of the homeland [i.e., of the nation state] and regards Islam as the homeland. What really interests it is what it regards as the ‘sacred religious duty’ of every Muslim everywhere, namely, getting rid of the Jews and expelling them from every place, because [according to Hamas] the Jews hate Allah, killed their prophets and denied Allah’s signs. Let us beware [this organization], since it is a cruel arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.”[2]

Similar arguments were made by Yemeni journalist Hani Salem Mashour. In his October 17, 2023 column in the London-based Emirati daily Al-Arab, he too argued that the aim of Hamas, like that of the Muslim Brotherhood movement to which it belongs and of the other extremist organizations with which it is linked, is to topple the Arab regimes and establish an Islamic Caliphate:

“…The primary goal of the extremist Islamic organizations… is still to crush the nation-state. Thus, the Houthis [i.e. the Houthi Ansar Allah movement in Yemen] emerged, claiming to represent Yemen; Hizbullah [claimed it] represented Lebanon, and Al-Hashd Al-Sha’abi [Popular Mobilization Units, aka PMU] and its allies [claimed] to represent Iraq. These organizations engage in taking peoples and countries hostage and entangling them in wars and conflicts that have no clear objectives besides a desire to abolish the political borders of the Arab nation-state. This is the goal pursued by the religious organizations, in order to establish… what they describe as ‘the Caliphate State.’

“The Hamas and PIJ movements have no right to claim that they represent the will of the Palestinian people in order to entangle it a pointless war – just as none of the religious organizations have the right to do so. In light of the siege on the Gaza Strip, and following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, it would be appropriate for the wisdom of the Arab collective to awaken [and recognize] the truth as it is. It is inconceivable for the nation-state to be replaced by a caliphate state… [This is because] such a state cannot exist in the [current] political reality. Although today’s reality is drenched in blood, it may indeed turn into an opportunity for an awakening, for reexamination, and for deciding to disengage from the legacies exploited by the extremist organizations in order to destroy all of mankind.”[3]
