America and Anti-Semitism

The shooting last Wednesday night of two Israeli diplomats, a couple that were soon to be engaged, was a horrible act of violence. It comes as anti-Semitism in America is increasing on college campuses and elsewhere. Many protesters reject Israel and embrace Hamas, which officially states, “Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.”

An American Jewish Committee survey last year found one-third of Jews in the U.S. were targeted by anti-Semitism in the previous 12 months.

What made last’s week shooting so egregious was that it was on American soil. 30-year-old Israeli citizen Yaron Lischinsky, a Messianic believer, and his fiancé-to-be, 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim of Kansas, were shot in cold blood outside of a Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.

The alleged shooter, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who has already confessed, told police, “I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza.”

America was largely created by Christians for the purpose of religious freedom. People of all religions or even no religion have been afforded sanctuary here.

Jews in particular, who have suffered in various nations around the world, have prospered and flourished here.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin, the founder and director of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, commented: “No country in the last two thousand years has provided the same haven of tranquility and prosperity for Jews as has the United States of America. And, this is not in spite of Americans being Christian; it is because of it. You might say that America’s Bible belt is the Jewish community’s safety belt.”

Lapin adds, “I fear for life in America if, heaven forbid, we ever find ourselves in a post-Christian society. Because what will come in its place is not a benign neutrality, but a very sinister form of secularism. And it is one in which life will have diminished value.”

We can see what the rabbi warned about on Christian television in the early 2000’s coming to fruition on many of our college campuses, with the pro-Palestinian protests.

For example, a month after October 7, some pro-Palestinian protesters at GWU wrote up in big words, “From the River to the Sea.” What does this mean? It means death to the Jews, who live between the River (Jordan) and the Sea (the Mediterranean).

Thankfully, the administration of the school was swift in curbing such protests. One could only wish such was the case with Columbia and Harvard and other Ivy League schools.

But anti-Semitic protests at GWU were ironic, in light of the views of the school’s namesake.

Around the time of our first president’s tenure, there were only a handful of synagogues in America. Just as President Washington found time to send correspondence to various Christian groups and ecclesiastical societies, he wrote letters of encouragement to some of the Jewish houses of worship.

These missives show how out-of-step anti-Semitism is with the founding of our nation.

For example, on June 14, 1790, President George Washington wrote a letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Savannah, Georgia: “Happily the people of the United States of America have, in many instances, exhibited examples worthy of imitation.” America is a land of sanctuary to the Jews and the rest.

Washington continued, “May the same wonder-working Deity, who long since delivering the Hebrews from their Egyptian Oppressors planted them in the promised land—whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in establishing these United States as an independent nation—still continue to water them with the dews of Heaven and to make the inhabitants of every denomination participate in the temporal and spiritual blessings of that people whose God is Jehovah.” Washington knew his Bible and was grateful for Jews to flourish here in this land.

In his August 18, 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Rhode Island, he again expresses his gratitude for the United States’ enlightened policy, “worthy of imitation,” allowing “liberty of conscience.” He pens, “For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.”

And he closes with a summary of his favorite Bible verse, Micah 4:4, which he saw as a picture of what America offers. Here “every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”

The Judeo-Christian views espoused by early Americans like George Washington keep this nation much safer than the radical views voiced by those who labor to kill Jews in America.

All ideas have consequences, and as John Stonestreet of the Colson Center likes to add: Bad ideas have victims.

George Washington renounced anti-Semitism—so should we.

Muslims and Jews on the Temple Mount

According to anti-Israel propagandists, the Jewish state severely restricts Muslim access to Al-Aqsa Mosque, while there are no restrictions on Jews who visit what they call the Temple Mount. This is the very opposite of the truth. More can be found here: “The story isn’t ‘Israeli restrictions on Al Aqsa.’ It is how unbelievably tolerant Israel is towards Muslims in Judaism’s holiest spot.” Elder of Ziyon, March 6, 2025:

On Thursday night, 85,000 Muslims worshipped at the Al Aqsa Mosque complex for Ramadan night prayers.

Lots of Muslims have been complaining about Israeli restrictions. According to reports, during Ramadan Israel would allow 10,000 Arabs from the West Bank, with permits, to travel there, excluding men under 55 and women under 50.

However, there are no restrictions on Israeli Arabs and Arab residents of Jerusalem in attending. Here’s a detail of the crowd Thursday night, showing lots of young men.

I expect the Friday morning crowds to exceed 150,000, in line with previous Ramadans.

Now, let’s think for a minute about how incredibly liberal Israel is in allowing so many Arabs to enter the complex:

– It is the holiest site in Judaism. According to Jewish law, no one should walk in the area around the Dome of the Rock nowadays at all because of its intense holiness. The Jewish state is violating Jewish law by allowing tens of thousands of Muslims to desecrate the most sacred spot in Judaism.

Jews who visit the Temple Mount stay away from both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. But Muslims visiting Al-Aqsa make it a point to walk all over the Temple Mount, knowing that they are thereby desecrating the most sacred place in Judaism.

– Israel is currently in a low level war in areas of Judea and Samaria. Palestinian sites keep running totals of how many times they shot at, stabbed, rammed their cars or threw stones at Jews. Even so, Israel is allowing tens of thousands of Arabs to enter even during wartime.

– In every Muslim holy place that they took from Jews under Muslim rule – the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Joseph’s Tomb, the Temple Mount, Samuel’s Tomb  – Muslims forbade Jews to enter altogether when they were under Arab control. The Jewish state gives rights for Muslims to pray in sites that both claim (and, let’s be frank, sites that Muslims stole from the Jews), the Arabs never gave the smallest amount of similar rights to Jews. (Under the Ottomans, Jews were allowed to worship at the Western Wall with severe restrictions; under Jordanian rule, Jews were not allowed in the Old City at all, even if they were not Israeli.)

Whenever Muslim Arabs came into possession of sites that were holy to the Jews, they would forbid them to enter. Every single site that is considered holy by the Jews, once it fell under Arab control, became off-limits to Jews. These sites included Joseph’s Tomb (which Palestinians have tried to destroy), Rachel’s Tomb (ditto), Samuel’s Tomb, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, the Western Wall (in front of which Muslims dumped tons of. garbage), and the Temple Mount itself.

– Muslims are allowed to publicly pray, to bring in political flags, to play sports, to have picnics, to have summer camps for children on the holy site. Jews are highly restricted in what they can do there, when they can visit, and what they can bring in.

The Israeli government allows Jews to visit the Temple Mount only for four hours a day, five days a week, while Muslims can visit the site, and pray at Al-Aqsa, at all hours of every day. The Jews, furthermore, are forbidden from saying prayers, aloud or mouthed silently, while on the Mount. They may not bring prayerbooks with them onto the Mount, or prayer shawls, or any other religious artifacts. Israeli police strictly enforce this prohibition, and Jews caught praying will be stopped and admonished.. If they persist in attempting to pray, they will be escorted off the Mount.

– More Muslims visited the Temple Mount Thursday night than the number of Jews who visited the site in all of 2024….

Far from the Jews keeping Muslims off the Temple Mount, it is the Muslims who pray in huge numbers at Al-Aqsa, at times reaching 150,000 to 250,000. On just one night — March 6 — 150,000 Muslims prayed at Al-Aqsa, which Elder of Ziyon points out is more than the number of Jews who visited Temple Mount in all of 2024. Israel strictly limits to fifty the number of religious Jews who can visit the Mount at one time.

In times of great insecurity, when the Israeli authorities worry about anti-Jewish riots on the Temple Mount, there are — most temporarily— restrictions placed on which Muslims can visit. People less likely to be volatile, and violent, are allowed in —Muslim males over the age of 55, Muslim women over the age of 50, and children under the age of 12. This is done purely for security reasons, and the age restrictions are lifted as soon as the danger of violence has passed.

Unlike the Muslims who when they controlled Judea and Samaria, and the Old City of Jerusalem, prevented Jews access to all of their holy sites, the Israelis do not deny Muslims access to any of the sites they consider holy. They can visit the Temple Mount at any time. On the Temple Mount, hundreds of thousands of Muslims may worship at Al-Aqsa at one time. Occasionally there are age restrictions, most temporary, placed on Muslim visitors, which are imposed only for security reasons. The Muslim visitors can walk all over the Temple Mount, thereby desecrating this holiest of all Jewish sites. Meanwhile, the Jews are severely limited in when they can visit the Temple Mount — four hours a day, five days a week. Religious Jews can visit, but only in groups of under 50. All Jews on the Temple Mount are severely restricted in what they can do: they cannot pray, either openly or silently. They cannot blow a shofar. They cannot even bring prayerbooks or prayer shawls with them to the Temple Mount. If these rules are violated, Israeli police will may make them leave.

This is the real story: when Muslims controlled the Old City (which includes the Temple Mount) and Judea and Samaria, the Jewish holy sites — the Western Wall, the Temple Mount itself — were off-limits to Jews. Now that Jews control the Old City, Judea and Samaria, Muslims have access to all the sites that they consider holy, and above all, to the Temple Mount, where they can visit at any time of day or night, can walk all over the site, desecrating ground that is holy to the Jews, and can pray at Al-Aqsa whenever they like. But do the Jews of Israel, so accommodating to those who have been so intolerant of them, receive any credit for this? Of course not.

New Poll Spells Major Trouble For Harris With Unlikely Demographic

Former President Donald Trump is maintaining a small lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among an unlikely demographic as her campaign reportedly worries about her chances in key swing states, according to a new Arab News/YouGov poll obtained by Semafor.

In a new Arab News/YouGov poll, 45% of Arab American voters said they are more likely to vote for Trump, compared to 43% who said they will likely vote for Harris. More Arab Americans, 39%, think Trump will “successfully resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict,” compared to Harris who has 33% of the community’s support on this question, the poll shows. Two weeks before the election, the Harris campaign is worried about the vice president’s chances in the “blue wall,” such as Michigan, where the Muslim community is prominent, three sources with knowledge of the campaign’s strategy told NBC News.

“There has been a thought that maybe Michigan or Wisconsin will fall off,” a senior Harris campaign official told NBC News, emphasizing that there are real concerns over her path to victory if Michigan goes for Trump while Wisconsin and Pennsylvania stay blue.

Of likely Arab American voters, 4% of respondents said they would cast their vote for third-party candidate Jill Stein and 6% said they were still undecided, according to the poll. Arab News/YouGov surveyed 500 Arab Americans nationally between Sept. 26 and Oct. 1 2024 and the poll has a margin of error of 5.93%.

Muslim Americans in Michigan are making an effort to flip the state for Trump in protest of the Biden-Harris administration’s Middle East policy. One activist organization, Drive for 75, has calculated that if 75% of its community can turn out to the polls then the vice president has a 99.9% chance of losing, Rex Nazarko, who is heading up the effort, previously told the Daily Caller.

“What was a guarantee for [a Harris loss] to happen? We tried with different percentages and different turnouts, and with the 75% number, again, accounting only for the Muslim community, not other communities, not other allies, not other progressives. It essentially guaranteed a 99.9% likelihood of the vice president losing the election in Michigan, if 75% of [the community turned out],” Nazarko told the Caller, explaining that they ran numerous mathematical simulations to inform their strategy.

“We ran that simulation 10,000 times, and almost every time that was the case. So that’s how we got the Drive for 75 call to action and idea,” he explained.

As a part of the effort to flip the state, Muslim activist organizations are pushing their community to vote for Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, or even Trump, they told the Daily Caller. Abandon Harris, one of those groups trying to spoil Harris’ election chances, threw its support behind Stein, who also has the backing of some socialist groups in the U.S. due to her anti-capitalist economic positioning.

“We need to be clear about what our goals are, we are not in a position to win the White House. But we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan,” Kshama Sawant, a former Seattle City Council Member and self-described socialist, said to cheers at a recent rally for Stein.

A Harris campaign spokesperson denied NBC News’ report that there were concerns over their ability to win Michigan.

“We absolutely are competing to win Michigan,” Harris campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt told NBC News, pointing to the vice president’s recent stops in the state. “We think we will win Michigan.”

The vice president has recently campaigned across key swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin alongside former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney.

Alongside Cheney, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney previously endorsed Harris, though the endorsement might not have the positive effect the campaign is hoping to have, one Michigander told the Caller.

“Here’s the new thing going around, people are saying that, ‘hello, she’s been endorsed by Dick Cheney.’ That tells you everything you need to know about this woman: that her intentions are war,” Vice chair of the 12th Congressional District Republican Committee Stephanie Butler, who is married to a Muslim, told the Caller.

Trump took to TruthSocial Monday to give a message to Arab and Muslim American voters ahead of the election on Harris’ Middle East policy.

“Arab Voters are very upset that Comrade Kamala Harris, the Worst Vice President in the History of the United States and a Low IQ individual, is campaigning with ‘dumb as a rock’ War Hawk, Liz Cheney, who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind,” Trump wrote.

“If Kamala gets four more years, the Middle East will spend the next four decades going up in flames, and your kids will be going off to war, maybe even a Third World War, something that will never happen with President Donald J. Trump in charge. For our country’s sake, and for your kids, Vote Trump for PEACE!” the former president wrote.

The Knife Did It!

Germany Chancellor Olof Scholz is calling for greater “knife control.”

That’s right. When a Syrian Muslim illegal migrant slashed the throats of several middle aged Germans at a “diversity festival” recently, it was the fault of the knife, not the Muslim.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Now the German government wants to ban German citizens — who, let’s remember, weren’t the ones on a slashing spree — from carrying knives over 2.4 inches long. That’s down from the current ban on knives over 4.5 inches.

I wonder, will the German police start frisking German citizens to test the size of their concealed knives? What other concealed parts will they also begin to measure?

I can just about guarantee you that they won’t be measuring those Muslim “migrants” for anything, let alone the size of their Korans. That would be racist and discriminatory.

Instead, let’s have more “knife control.”

Perhaps the Chancellor should leave his kitchen knives lined up outside his bedroom door to see what crimes they will commit overnight? (But perhaps he doesn’t dare to….)

Also this week, Pope Francis called on governments around the world to welcome migrants, because it was the right thing to do. I guess he failed to consult with Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, who as president of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State, actually runs the Vatican and has authority over its immigration laws.

There are currently 618 citizens of the Vatican, and a total of 764 residents. To protect them, Cardinal Alzaga retains 104 Swiss Guards, and another 130 gendarmes tasked with ensuring “internal security.”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the Pope shouldn’t be protected better than former president Donald Trump. But I don’t want to live in a country where every third person is an armed agent of the government.

Even the family members of the Vatican’s Mercenary Army don’t get to keep their citizenship forever. Once their children turn 18, they become stateless.

How’s that for Christian charity?

You’ll be relieved to note that another week has gone by without a major regional war in the Middle East, just your average bombings and missile strikes and Israeli raids to catch terrorists plotting to kill Jews. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency tells us that the Iranian regime continues to enrich uranium to 60%, which is essentially weapons-grade.

I’m sure you will be especially relieved to learn that Kamala Harris’s presumed Secretary of State nominee, Philip Gordon, helped negotiate the failed 2015 Iran nuclear deal and has co-authored opeds with members of the pro-Tehran lobby in Washington, DC. More about that in my upcoming book, The Iran House.

But hey, no one cares until Labor Day, right?

Until then, I remain yours in freedom,

FLORIDA: Jordanian Muslim Terrorist Arrested for Attacks pro-Israel Businesses and an Energy Facility in Orlando

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ⁄ Orlando, Florida — Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, 43, a Jordanian citizen residing in Orlando, Florida, is charged with four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility. At his detention hearing yesterday, Hnaihen was ordered detained pending trial.

“We allege that the defendant threatened to carry out hate-fueled mass violence in our country, motivated in part by a desire to target businesses for their perceived support of Israel,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “Such acts and threats of violence, whether they are targeting the places that Americans frequent every day or our country’s critical infrastructure, are extremely dangerous and will not be tolerated by the Justice Department.”

“Under the guise of expressing his beliefs, the defendant allegedly attacked a power facility, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, and threatened local businesses,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Violence and destruction of property to threaten and intimidate others will never be tolerated. The FBI and our partners will work together to pursue and hold accountable those who resort to violence.”

“Targeting and attacking businesses for perceived beliefs is unacceptable,” said U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg for the Middle District of Florida. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and federally prosecute those who make violent or hate-based threats and who seek to act on these threats.”

According to court documents, beginning around June 2024, Hnaihen targeted and attacked businesses in the Orlando area for their perceived support for Israel. Wearing a mask, under the cover of night, Hnaihen smashed the glass front doors of businesses and left behind “Warning Letters.”

Hnaihen’s attacks escalated. At the end of June, as law enforcement worked to identify the masked attacker, Hnaihen broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, and spent hours systematically destroying solar panel arrays. He smashed panels, cut wires, and targeted critical electronic equipment. Hnaihen left behind two more copies of his threatening demand letter. Hnaihen is believed to have caused more than $700,000 in damage.

Following a multiagency effort, law enforcement identified Hnaihen and arrested him on July 11, shortly after another “Warning Letter” threatening to “destroy or explode everything” was discovered at an industrial propane gas distribution depot in Orlando.

Hnaihen is charged with four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for each threat offense and a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for the destruction of an energy facility offense.

The FBI and Orange County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case, with valuable assistance by Maitland Police Department, Winter Park Police Department, and Orlando Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Varadan for the Middle District of Florida is prosecuting the case, with valuable assistance provided by Trial Attorneys Ryan White and George Kraehe of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

For those who know our organization, The United West, we hunt down Muslim terrorists, expose them to America and Law Enforcement and mobilize activists to warn others about these anti-American, anti-Israel Jihadis.

Well, it is no secret that the winner of the

“Most-Muslim-Terrorists-Who-Were-Ever-Involved-With-A-Mosque-And-It’s-Members”

Is the Dar Al Hijrah Mosque in Fairfax, Virginia.

Our video is NOT meant to be comical, truth is, this place has been Ground Zero for
bad-ass terrorists to help start, fund, teach and keep the Mosque and its mission of Cultural Jihad (destroying America) moving ahead at top speed.

Part of the Muslim Brotherhood political methodology is to do the “Assalamalakum Tap Dance” all over politicians and law enforcement officials, especially the FBI.

“Assalamalakum Tap Dance” is when Muslim Brotherhood leaders make the FBI think they are getting “inside” information from the Muslims, when in fact, the Muslim Brotherhood hug their FBI “partners” to get the Agents to fall in line with the Muslim Diversity, Equity and Inclusion bullshit, resulting in the Agents being totally “owned” by Mosque officials.

In our expose’, you will see this happen right before your very eyes.

Remember, the Muslims have been running these scams for 1400 years before the FBI even was a twinkle in J. Edgar Hoover’s eye.

One of the main FBI contacts for the Dar Al Hijrah leaders was Agent Paul Abbate, who is the focus of our video, obviously along with the panoply of top-tier jihad terrorists who “pop-up” in our pop-up video!

The “hook” of this story is the role Agent Paul Abbate plays in the Trump assassination attempt investigation.

Islamic Jihad Deputy Head of Weapons Manufacturing Eliminated in Israeli anti-Terror Operation

Inshallah!

Thank you, Israel. Don’t stop.

During a targeted, intelligence-based operation, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Mohammed al-Jabari, who was deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Islamic Jihad.

Al-Jabari was responsible for financing weapons manufacturing infrastructure for the Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, the distribution of salaries and funds, and was part of attempts to restore the Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure.

IDF: The IDF eliminated the Islamic Jihad’s Deputy Head of Weapons Manufacturing; IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists in the area of Rafah During a targeted, intelligence-based operation, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Mohammed al-Jabari, who was deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Islamic Jihad.
Al-Jabari was responsible for financing weapons manufacturing infrastructure for the Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, the distribution of salaries and funds, and was part of attempts to restore the Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, surveillance, and additional intelligence.
Moreover, troops of the 162nd Division are continuing precise, intelligence-based operational activities in the area of Rafah. Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists during close-quarters encounters and in aerial strikes. Furthermore, troops of the 16th Brigade began operational activities in central Gaza under the command of the 252nd Division. The troops identified a terrorist cell exiting a terror tunnel in order to attack IDF forces.
Shortly following the identification, the IAF eliminated the terrorists. In addition, the IAF struck a structure in which numerous explosive devices and weapons were stored.

IDF: Deputy head of Islamic Jihad weapons manufacturing unit killed in Gaza airstrike

By Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, 2 August 2024:

A senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the military says, as troops continue operations in Rafah and the Netzarim Corridor.

Muhammad al-Jabari was the deputy head of an Islamic Jihad weapons manufacturing unit, and responsible for the unit’s finances, according to the IDF.

The IDF says that al-Jabari “was entrusted with the organization’s production of weapons in the northern Gaza Strip, distribution of salaries and money to the organization’s terrorists, and took an active part in the attempt to restore the organization’s rocket production capabilities and infrastructure.”

The military carried out “many steps” to mitigate harm to civilians in the strike, including using aerial surveillance and precision munitions, the IDF says.

Meanwhile, the IDF says that troops with the 162nd Division killed more than 30 gunmen in close-quarters combat and by calling in airstrikes in southern Gaza’s Rafah in the past day.

In the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip where the 252nd Division is deployed, reservists with the division’s Jerusalem Brigade spotted a cell of gunmen emerging from a tunnel, and called in a drone strike, according to the military.

In the same area amid operations by the Harel Reserve Armored Brigade, an attack helicopter struck a building used as a weapons depot, the IDF adds.

Iran is No Longer a Majority-Muslim Country

An online survey about the religious beliefs of Iranians, with replies given anonymously so as to prevent any possible retribution, was conducted several years ago in the Islamic Republic.

In June 2020, our research institute, the Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in IRAN (GAMAAN), conducted an online survey with the collaboration of Ladan Boroumand, co-founder of the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran.

The results verify Iranian society’s unprecedented secularisation.

Iran’s census claims that 99.5% of the population are Muslim, a figure that hides the state’s active hostility toward irreligiosity, conversion, and unrecognised religious minorities.

Iranians live with an ever-present fear of retribution for speaking against the state. In Iran, one cannot simply call people or knock on doors seeking answers to politically sensitive questions. That’s why the anonymity of digital surveys offers an opportunity to capture what Iranians really think about religion.

Our results reveal dramatic changes in Iranian religiosity, with an increase in secularisation and a diversity of faiths and beliefs. Compared with Iran’s 99.5% census figure, we found that only 40% identified as Muslim.

So Iran, for the first time in more than 1,200 years, is no longer a majority-Muslim country. And just before the Islamic Revolution 80% of Iranians described themselves as very devout. That percentage has been slashed in half. But even among those 40%, who identify as Muslims, as we shall see, many are not Believers but only “cultural Muslims.”

In contrast with state propaganda that portrays Iran as a Shia nation, only 32% explicitly identified as such, while 5% said they were Sunni Muslim and 3% Sufi Muslim. Another 9% said they were atheists, along with 7% who prefer the label of spirituality. Among the other selected religions, 8% said they were Zoroastrians – which we interpret as a reflection of Persian nationalism and a desire for an alternative to Islam, rather than strict adherence to the Zoroastrian faith – while 1.5% said they were Christian.

The opinion takers’ observation that Zoroastrianism is adopted not so much because of the contents of the faith, but as a symbol of disaffection with Islam and of a desire to reclaim the quintessential Persian pre-Islamic faith, is convincing. Nationalism, not deep religious belief, surely explains the nearly 10% of Iranians who now identify with Zoroastrianism.

Most Iranians, 78%, believe in God, but only 37% believe in life after death and only 30% believe in heaven and hell.

In Iran, 22% of the people are now atheists. Worse still for the mullahs, while 40% of Iranians claim to be Muslims, only 30% believe in a central tenet of Islam – the existence of paradise and hell, which could be interpreted to mean that only 30% are true Muslims. The 10% who do not believe in heaven and hell, but claim to be Muslims, are not true Believers, but “cultural Muslims,” a category which has more to do with filial piety — the tug of affection for their devout parents, with fond memories of family iftar dinners, and the deep religiosity of other relatives or friends whom they cannot emulate but still respect. If so, then it would make sense to conclude that only 30% of Iranians are Muslim believers.

These numbers demonstrate that a general process of secularisation, known to encourage religious diversity, is taking place in Iran. An overwhelming majority, 90%, described themselves as hailing from believing or practising religious families. Yet 47% reported losing their religion in their lifetime, and 6% said they changed from one religious orientation to another. Younger people reported higher levels of irreligiosity and conversion to Christianity than older respondents….

Almost half of the children of devout parents in Iran report they have lost their religion. It’s not surprising, given how monstrous the theocracy has become. The Iranian clerics have done more to discredit Islam than any Infidel propaganda could possibly accomplish. They hang homosexuals from cranes, execute political dissenters on trumped-up charges (such as the wrestler Navid Afkari), murder inoffensive members of the Iranian emigration who had been opponents of the Shah (such as Shahpur Bakhtiar, killed in Paris by agents of the Islamic Republic), punish anyone who defends opposition figures (Nasrin Soutoudeh, a female lawyer, was sentenced to 38 years in prison).

The venality of the clerics is also well-known, and has contributed further to the disenchantment with Islam. A long investigation by Reuters revealed what many Iranians suspected. Their Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has amassed a business empire worth $95 billion, far more than the Shah of Iran’s fortune.

80% of Iranians were very devout before the Islamic Revolution, but there has been a drastic decline, with 60% now reporting that they do not perform the required daily prayers, nor observe Ramadan, meaning that 40%, at most, can still be considered devout.

We found that societal secularisation was also linked to a critical view of the religious governance system: 68% agreed that religious prescriptions should be excluded from legislation, even if believers hold a parliamentary majority, and 72% opposed the law mandating all women wear the hijab, the Islamic veil….

In other words, in a regime that is based on the idea of the Muslim jurist as ruler, and Islam as the only basis for legislation, now more than two-thirds of Iranians utterly reject that very idea: 68% say that religious commands (“prescriptions”) should be excluded as a basis for legislation.

Other research on population growth, whose decline has been linked to higher levels of secularisation, also suggests a decline in religiosity in Iran. In 2020, Iran recorded its lowest population growth, below 1%.

Is the steep decline in Iranian fertility rates not an oblique comment on younger Iranians’ disaffection with the clerical regime? Those who choose not to have children, or have fewer than the replacement level (2.1) are making a statement, signaling that they don’t have much faith in the country’s future. They see on the horizon only the continuation of religious despotism, with the mismanagement, corruption, cruelty, venality, and hypocrisy of the clerical rulers.

The Internet makes it almost impossible for the Iranian regime to prevent those they rule over from finding out what is going on in the world, including in Iran itself. The Iranians learn about American sanctions, about successful attacks on Iran’s nuclear project and other targets, find out about the catastrophic economic condition their country is in, discover the staggering net worth of their rulers – in short, the kind of news that once could be kept from being widely known, when the only sources of information were government-controlled newspapers, radio stations, and television networks. The Internet has made all of this information accessible with a few clicks.

When the Iranian regime finally collapses, we will be able see for ourselves what has been reported by the anonymous participants in these surveys. From 80% believers just before the Islamic Revolution, to 40% — or rather, 30% (with another 10% calling themselves only “cultural Muslims”) — today, its been a decline in belief unparalleled in Iranian, or Islamic, history. We have Ayatollahs Khomenei, and Khameini, and their equally cruel epigones, to thank for freeing so many Iranians — though it was hardly intended — from the mind-forged manacles of Islam. By their savage misrule they have accomplished what no collection of proselytizing Infidels could have managed to achieve. For this relief, ayatollahs, much thanks.

To Hate a Jew: How Jew-hatred serves as one of the key bonds in the Leftist-Hamas romance.

Editor’s note: Ever since Hamas’ Oct 7th savage terror attack against Israel, we have observed – in horror – how the Left has risen up in rabid support of the terror group and engaged in ferocious hatred of Jewish people in general – and of the state of Israel in particular. The examples have been unending: Harvard student organizations rallied around Hamas, Black Lives Matter endorsed Hamas’ murder of Israeli babies, and leftist groups and individuals everywhere have vociferously supported the Hamas massacres.

And just recently, the Left has even engaged in denouncing Israel for rescuing its hostages.

This is all nothing new, of course. Frontpage Editor Jamie Glazov has documented the Left’s long traditional dance with Islamic jihad and Jew-Hate in his critically-acclaimed and best-selling book, United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and TerrorNow, because of the Left’s current passionate alliance with Hamas, our editors have deemed it vital to run a chapter from Jamie’s book, titled “To Hate a Jew.” The chapter explores how and why anti-Semitism serves as one of the core bonds between the Left and Islam in the Unholy Alliance.

Make sure to read the eye-opening chapter below and to order United in Hate, which reveals the shocking truth of what really lies behind the Left’s dark love affair with Hamas’ bloodthirsty jihad against Israelis.


Chapter 13: To Hate a Jew

“Behind the doctrine of atheistic materialism was a Jew; behind the doctrine of animalistic sexuality was a Jew; and behind the destruction of the family and the shattering of sacred relationships in society…was a Jew.” —Sayyid Qutb

The hatred of Jews serves as a central underpinning to the Islamist death cult—as it does to most death cults. Like its ideological cousins, fascism and communism, Islamism wages war against Jews in its effort to secure its own survival. Totalist ideologies detest modernity, individual freedom, and any value placed on individual human life—notions with which Jews are strongly identified. Jews also personify the enduring struggle to survive, rather than the impulse to destroy and perish. For Islamists—as for leftist believers, as delineated in the believer’s diagnosis and documented throughout Part II—such a disposition is tantamount to a declaration of war.

In Islamists’ eyes, not only are Jews guilty because, as a people, they are synonymous with liberty and the veneration of life on earth; they are also guilty for being the creators and inhabitants of the state of Israel—the very existence of which is an affront to Islam’s quest for dominion over all the lands of the Middle East and, ultimately, the world. The fact that Israel is an ally of the United States only magnifies the “crimes” of the Jews. Consequently, the Jewish state serves as a nearby stand‐in for the West in general, and for America in particular. As Kenneth Timmerman notes, “much of today’s anti‐Semitism, while aimed at Jews, stems from a belief system that equally rejects America and indeed Western civilization as a whole.”[i]

As will be demonstrated in this chapter, Islamist Jew hatred is, first and foremost, rooted in Islamic theology and culture. At the same time, it is important to stress that, as shown in chapter nine, since Islamism is partly an outgrowth of the European ideological virus that spawned communism and fascism, so too is its Jew hatred an outgrowth of those two death cults.

Many Muslim Arabs adored Hitler and were enchanted with his Final Solution. As mentioned in chapter nine, the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al‐Banna, was a devout admirer, and the Nazis helped create the organization as a weapon against the British in the Middle East.[ii] By the end of World War II, the Muslim Brotherhood had a half million Arab Nazis as members.[iii] The grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al‐Husseini, met with Hitler on November 28, 1941, to request German assistance in engendering a Middle Eastern Final Solution, and he offered to form an Arab army to help carry it out.[iv] Al‐Husseini became the Arabic voice of Nazi Germany in all of its broadcasts to the Arab world, exhorting Muslims to murder Jews.[v] Hitler’s Palestinian disciple understood, however, that direct assistance could be provided only after the Führer had finished the job in Europe— an objective the Nazi dictator never achieved. Yasser Arafat was one of al‐Husseini’s most admiring disciples, even claiming that he was his nephew.[vi]

Sayyid Qutb, meanwhile, helped frame the Jew hatred of the Islamic world in the modern era. For Qutb, the Jews represented the “eternal enemy” of Islam. Behind every evil, in Qutb’s view, were the Jews: “Behind the doctrine of atheistic materialism was a Jew; behind the doctrine of animalistic sexuality was a Jew; and behind the destruction of the family and the shattering of sacred relationships in society…was a Jew.”[vii]

Al‐Qaeda and all other Islamist terrorist organizations have emerged, clearly, from traditional political Islam. But they also have evolved from the Nazi‐Arab World War II generation, through the connection with the Muslim Brotherhood, which remains the backbone of al‐Qaeda and the parent of nearly every other Arab terrorist group.[viii] As Timmerman has noted, “If today’s Muslim anti‐Semitism is like a tree with many branches, its roots feed directly off of Hitler’s Third Reich.”[ix] Mein Kampf was and still is circulated widely in the Muslim world. It is, for instance, a bestseller among Palestinians and it has also recently been on the bestseller lists in Turkey.[x]

Just as it has Nazi‐Fascist roots, so too the Islamist death cult has communist origins, as we saw in chapter nine, and the communist death cult was also rife with Jew hatred. The Soviet regime viciously persecuted its Jews, and newly discovered evidence indicates that Stalin was planning a second Great Terror, his own version of the Holocaust, to rid the Soviet Union of its remaining Jews.[xi] Shortly before his death he authorized the construction of four large death camps for this purpose in Kazakhstan, Siberia, and the Arctic north.[xii]

The Soviet regime consistently used its power and influence to channel Islamism’s Jew hatred into a ferocious anti‐Americanism.[xiii] Former Romanian intelligence general Mihai Pacepa has revealed how the Soviet‐bloc espionage community’s main objective was to transform Yasser Arafat’s war against Israel and its main supporter, the United States, into a central doctrine throughout the whole Islamic world. Pacepa writes:

According to KGB theorists, the Islamic world was a petri dish in which we    could nurture a virulent strain of America‐hate. Islamic cultures had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch. Terrorism and violence against America would flow naturally from their religious fervor. We had only to keep repeating, over and over, that the United States was a “Zionist country” bankrolled by rich Jews. Islam was obsessed with preventing the infidel’s occupation of its territory, and it would be highly receptive to our dogma that American imperialism wanted to transform the rest of the world into a Jewish fiefdom.[xiv]

This explains why the Soviet bloc flooded the Islamic world with Arabic translations of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, along with other “documentary” materials, “proving” that Jewish money governed the Zionist United States, whose aim was to extend its domination over the rest of the world.[xv]

Soviet communism, therefore, fueled the energy and hate with which Islamism, its ideological cousin, would fight modern liberalism and freedom. The totalitarian virus was simply transported into a new theater. As Pacepa powerfully observes, “the hijacked airplane was launched into the world of contemporary terrorism by the KGB and its puppet Yasser Arafat, and it is significant that this became the weapon of choice for September 11, 2001.”[xvi]

Islamism’s Jew hatred also has numerous other sources. One significant ingredient is the humiliation phenomenon delineated in chapter eleven. Muslim Arabs experienced excruciating shame in losing three wars to the Israelis (1948, 1967, 1973) and in observing the success and prosperity of the Jewish civilization right in their midst. For generation after generation, Arabs in the Middle East have known nothing but backwardness, poverty, dictatorship, and cultural impotence. Yet they have had to witness a comparatively small number of European and American Jews migrate to a tiny stretch of desert a half century ago, to join the Jews already living there and, within a single generation, build the most powerful economic and industrial nation in the entire Middle East. This is an agonizing dose of reality for many Arabs, causing them to try to destroy the reminder of their own impotence—i.e., the Jews—rather than to acknowledge the flaws of their own civilization and admit that they might profit by learning something from the hated “infidels.” In the Arab world, Israel’s creation is Nakba—the Catastrophe.

But despite the Nazi and communist reinforcement, Islamist Jew hatred is primarily founded in Islamic sources, which will always take precedence for Muslims. And one of the key problems is that Muslims do not see Jews as merely their enemies; they see them as the enemies of God. The Koran attributes many negative characteristics to Jews, especially falsehood and distortion,[xvii] and it teaches that Allah, as well as David and Jesus, has cursed the Jews.[xviii] In fact, Allah was so disgusted with Jews that he transformed them into apes and pigs.[xix] The hadiths also contain many anti‐Jewish teachings. A hadith collected in Mishkat Al‐ Messabih, for instance, says, “When judgment day arrives, Allah will give every Muslim a Jew or Christian to kill so that the Muslim will not enter into hell fire.”[xx]

It is important to point out, of course, that there are some Islamic leaders, such as Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, director of the Cultural Institute of the Italian Islamic community, who seek to abolish Jew hatred within Islam.[xxi] But they have a great struggle ahead of them.

The Prophet Muhammad taught Jew hatred explicitly by example. He commanded his followers: “Kill any Jew that falls into your power.”[xxii] In his later years, Muhammad himself persecuted Jews and sanctioned the killing of the males of large Jewish tribes, notably in the brutal massacre of the Jewish tribe Banu Qurayza. Muhammad ratified a judgment that saw as many as nine hundred men from this tribe beheaded and their decapitated corpses buried in a pit while he looked on. The Muslims then sold most of the murdered men’s wives and children into slavery, while distributing some of them as gifts among Muhammad’s followers (Muhammad took one Qurayza woman, Rayhana, for his own pleasure).[xxiii] In his 1895 biography of Muhammad, which relied entirely on the original Muslim sources, the scholar Sir William Muir observed: “The massacre of the Banu Coreiza was a barbarous deed which cannot be justified by any reason of political necessity…. [T]he indiscriminate slaughter of the whole tribe cannot be recognized otherwise than as an act of monstrous cruelty…”[xxiv]

These crimes by Muhammad himself serve as a foundation for Muslim hatred and persecution of Jews throughout history. In AD 807, for instance, Harun al‐Rashid, the caliph of Baghdad, enforced Muhammad’s directive to humiliate Jews by mandating that they wear a yellow belt and dunce cap. If they failed to do so, they faced execution. In different periods of dhimmitude, Jews were also forced to wear the image of an ape on their clothes and to nail onto their front door a board bearing the sign of a monkey.[xxv] This was the inspiration for the yellow star later used by the Nazis.[xxvi]

We get a clear picture of how Islam’s ancient hatred of the Jews has fused with present‐day resentments. Israel, like the United States, has become a symbol of modernity, freedom, corporate capitalism, and globalization—all things that are reviled by Muslim fundamentalists. And it is no coincidence that the Left despises modernity, freedom, corporate capitalism, and globalization as well. Jew hatred, therefore, serves as an indispensable element in the leftist‐Islamist romance.

VIDEO: Interview with Michael Stürzenberger after he was stabbed numerous times by Muslim migrant

One of the saddest elements of this interview is how much Michael was concerned about the officer who was also stabbed, but that Michael did not know the officer had died.

The officer even at the time of the interview was already essentially dead, but being kept alive on life support for organ viability, and was declared dead a couple of days later. But Michael’s character and decency really shows in his concern for others after having been savagely stabbed in the face and legs multiple times by an illegal in Germany determined to show how peaceful Islam is.

Michael Stürzenberger interview from Hospital room

This feels a little redundant, but for anyone left on Planet Earth who does not already know, Islam commands its followers to strike at the necks of the unbelievers. It does so in multiple places in the Koran, as well as across the cannon of Islamic scripture.  All of this can be found at the website, The Religion of Peace.

The seeds of Biden’s betrayal of Israel were planted a long time ago

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned Israel on Thursday against cutting off Palestinian banks and spoke about the need to increase aid to Gaza, that is, Hamas, even further. Yellen’s words gained little attention, as the Biden regime’s betrayal of Israel is now old news. It is now widely known that the regime, deeply afraid that it could lose Michigan in November, has brought a seventy-year-old alliance perilously close to rupture to gain the Arab vote. Yet the betrayal of Israel didn’t begin when the polls started looking bad for Old Joe. The seeds of it were planted long before Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.

Back during the 2020 campaign, Old Joe vowed: “My administration will look like America, Muslim Americans serving at every level.” Although his career is an appalling record of seven decades of lying, this is one promise he has kept. On May 15, I wrote here at PJM about Maher Bitar, Old Joe Biden’s new special counsel and director of intelligence and defense programs at the National Security Council. Bitar is a longtime foe of Israel and an alumnus of the viciously anti-Israel campus group Students for Justice in Palestine. Bitar, however, is not even close to being the sole foe of Israel at high levels among Biden apparatchiks.

The man to whom the Biden regime has given the responsibility of being its special representative for Palestinian affairs, a particularly important post during this war, has declared: “I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada.” Hady Amr has also said that Palestinian Arabs would “never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military, and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents.” He did not, of course, say a word about Hamas’ long-established practice of launching jihad attacks from civilian areas, so that retaliatory fire could be used for propaganda purposes.

Yet despite his obvious bias, Amr has been the regime’s point man for Israeli and Palestinian issues from the beginning. Before getting his present job, he was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs within the State Department.

When reading about the regime’s latest accusation that Israel is violating human rights norms, it’s useful to keep in mind that the State Department’s undersecretary for civilian security, democracy, and human rights is Uzra Zeya. Zeya has “worked for the magazine Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and its publishing group, American Educational Trust. The Washington Report has questioned the loyalty American Jews have to the United States; published accusations against the ‘Jewish lobby’; claimed American Jews control the media; and accused the Mossad of perpetrating the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Bihar, Amr, and Zeya had plenty of company, but some of the Israel-haters have now departed from the regime. Most notorious among them was Robert Malley, who served as the regime’s special envoy to Iran until June 29, 2023. He is not on the Biden team at the moment because his security clearance was revoked and he was put on leave over his alleged mishandling of classified information.

Malley’s support for Iran’s Islamic regime and pronounced distaste for Israel had raised eyebrows for years. The Washington Times revealed in February 2021 that back in July 2019, “Iran’s smooth, English-speaking foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, met with Robert Malley, who was President Obama’s Middle East adviser, in an apparent bid to undermine the Trump team and lay the groundwork for post-Trump relations.”

VIDEO: Israel Proves Biden Wrong on Rafah, Again!

Once again the Biden administration has been proven wrong about its predictions in Israel’s war against Gazan Jihadists.

From the beginning of the war they were predicting tens of thousands of casualties on the Israeli side. Although every soldier’s death is a tragedy, the casualty count is far lower.

The Biden team’s latest blunder was the prediction that it would take weeks to evacuate the “civilian” population of Rafah. The operation in Rafah began on May 4th and has resulted in 950 thousand Gazan “civilians” fleeing to other areas.

So why has the Biden team continued to get it so wrong on Gaza?

Simply put, like anything else in the Middle East, the Biden team just doesn’t get it. They are out of touch with the culture, the people, and the military reality on the ground. This is what makes their lecturing about what they feel is best for Israel so bothersome to so many Israelis.

With the Rafah operation continuing, it is only a matter of time until the IDF finishes off the last remaining Hamas battalions and ultimately find the hostages and Sinwar. Can they do it and beat Biden’s expectations?

Without a doubt.

Prominent American Muslim Declares: ‘We Are On The Road To The White House’

This is terrifying.

We cannot have our constitution subverted by this stealth jihad about which my colleagues and I have been writing for years.

Do you think our military could be relied upon to round these people up and kill or deport them?

Disgustingly, the “We Are Hamas!!” crowd has become much more emboldened in recent years and we can see how our educational institutions have already been grievously subverted. Most people are too busy to pay attention and tend to mock the likes of us as alarmists or white supremacists.

The preposterous assertion of Biden and the Leftocracy that America is under threat from white supremacy is part of the persistent effort to undermine our democracy in favor of a tribal, authoritarian, undemocratic regime.

The Biden/Obama administration is chock full of jihadis including in our security apparatus. If Biden wins in November this process will be unstoppable.

Prominent Muslim Declares: ‘We Are On The Road To The White House’ – The Islamic Takeover of America Unveiled

By: RAIR Foundation, May 2024.

Osama Siblani declares the Arab-American community’s unstoppable ascent to political dominance in the U.S., aiming for control from local towns to the White House.

In a recent address on May 10, 2024, at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, Osama Siblani, the radical editor and publisher of The Arab-American News, declared the Arab-American community’s growing influence in the United States. Speaking at a terror-tied dinner hosted by the Lebanese International Business Council, Siblani proudly asserted, “Forty years ago, we had a mayor for this town who talked about the Arab problem. Guess what? The Arabs are ruling Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Hamtramck.”

The Shift in Demographics and Politics

This proclamation marks a significant shift in the demographic and political landscape of these Islamized American cities, which have seen a substantial influx of Arab and Muslim immigrants over the past few decades. What was once a warning of an “Arab problem” has turned into a reality of Arab leadership and governance in these areas.

Ambitious Political Aspirations

Siblani’s speech wasn’t just a reflection on the past; it was a forecast of an ambitious future. He confidently stated, “We are on the road to the White House, to Congress, to the decision-making everywhere in the United States.” His remarks underscore a vision of Arab Americans not just integrating into American society but ascending to the highest echelons of power.

#11091 | 01:25

Source: Online Platforms – “Dearborn On on Facebook”

Osama Siblani, the editor and publisher of The Arab-American News said in a May 10, 2024 address at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan that the Arab-American community is on the way to the White House, Congress, and decision making everywhere in America. He said that 40 years ago, the mayor of Dearborn said that the city had an Arab problem, and now Siblani said: The Arabs are ruling Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Hamtramck. Siblani spoke at a dinner hosted by the Lebanese International Business Council in honor of former director of the Lebanese General Security Agency Major General Abbas Ibrahim, who is known for ties with Lebanese Hizbullah.

Earlier, in November 2023, Siblani shared the stage with Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and several extremists in a pro-Palestinian rally where the dismantling of Israel was being called for. Siblani said that a new generation has emerged, who will “clean” the U.S. Congress and White House of bloodthirsty killers. He said: “We are on the road to a great victory here in D.C. and there in Palestine” (See MEMRI TV clip 10862).

In a 2022 Nakba Day rally attended by U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Siblani praised Palestinian martyrs and said that Arabs will “lift Palestinians all the way to victory,” whether in Michigan or in Jenin, and that all means should be used, including stones, guns, planes, drones, and rockets (See MEMRI TV clip 9566). The previous year, in the 2021 Nakba Day rally, also attended by Rep. Tlaib, Siblani, Siblani praised Palestinian rockets (See MEMRI TV Clip 9598). For more on Siblani, see clips 10927 and 10901.

Osama Siblani: “We have the best we can offer to the United States of America – not only in Michigan, but across the country – and we [have] offered our best.

[…]

“The best is yet to come. I can be very confident to tell you that we are on the road to the White House, to Congress, to the decision-making everywhere in the United States.

[…]

“Forty years ago, we had a mayor for this town who talked about the Arab problem. Guess what? The Arabs are ruling Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Hamtramck.

Muslim Border Invaders on Terror Watchlist Tried to Break Into Quantico

“The driver, ignoring the direct instructions of the officers, continued to move the vehicle past the holding area”

Biden chose to open up the border to the invaders of the world. And they’re coming. Including Muslims on terror watch lists. A number have been caught, others have gotten through and since Biden insists on releasing virtually every border invader into the country, they’re free to do what they please once they get in.

And what are they doing?

Two people inside a box truck tried to force their way onto Quantico Marine Corps Base.

After being pressed by Potomac Local News, base officials today said that in the early morning hours of Friday, May 3, 2024, the two men drove a truck up to the base’s main gate on Fuller Road, just outside Dumfries, told guards that they were contractors for Amazon and were making a delivery to Quantico Town’s post office. The town is located inside the military base.

The men did not provide any approved access credentials, and police determined the vehicle had no affiliation with the base, so officers directed the truck to a holding area for standard vetting procedures. “One of the military police officers noticed the driver, ignoring the direct instructions of the officers, continued to move the vehicle past the holding area and attempted to access…Quantico,” said base spokesman Capt.

Officers then used vehicle denial barriers, or roadblocks that were used to keep out cars, which prevented the two men from traveling further onto the base. The occupants were detained and eventually turned over to ICE, and no one was injured, said Curtis.

Multiple sources report one of the individuals inside the truck is a Jordanian foreign national who recently crossed the southern border into the U.S., and that one of the occupants is on the U.S. terrorist watch list. Quantico did not confirm this information.

No one will be in any hurry to confirm something that makes the administration look terrible.

Would a normal Amazon delivery driver be willing to risk his life by ignoring instructions from military officers just to make that delivery?

No Amazon driver is that dedicated.

POLL: Vast Majority of Americans Back Israel over Hamas

Against almost unimaginable odds – the Democrat Jew hating media, Jew hating academia, massive dark money funding anti-Israel terrorism in the information battle-space, , Soros, et al — over 80% of American’s support Israel. Righteous. Divine.

Most  Americans support Israel over the terrorist organization Hamas in a poll released on Monday, with 80% of respondents saying they support Israel more in the conflict.

Vast majority of Americans back Israel over Hamas: Poll

By: Jared Gans, The Hill, April 29, 2024:

An overwhelming majority of Americans support Israel in its war against Hamas over the militant group running the Gaza Strip, according to a new poll.

The Harvard CAPS-Harris survey shared with The Hill showed 80 percent of registered voters said they support Israel more in the war, while 20 percent said they support Hamas more. That is about in line with the poll’s findings from last month, when 79 percent indicated they support Israel more.

In this month’s poll, older age groups were much more likely to be supportive of Israel than younger respondents, though a clear majority of each age group supported Israel more than Hamas. More than 90 percent of those 65 years old and older and of those 55 to 64 said they support Israel more, while 85 percent of those 45 to 54 and three-quarters of those 35 to 44 said the same.

Support for Israel was the lowest among the youngest age groups. Pollsters found 64 percent of those 25 to 34 and 57 percent of those 18 to 24 said they support Israel more, while the rest of those age groups said they support Hamas more.

The poll’s results come as numerous pro-Palestinian protests have popped up on college campuses throughout the country. Students have set up encampments to protest for days at schools including Columbia and New York University.

Universities have responded to the protests with a range of tactics including negotiations, suspensions and arrests to try to end the encampments taking place on school property. Protesters have called for their universities to end their business relationships with companies that they say are contributing to Israel’s war, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians.

Mark Penn, the co-director of the poll, said support for Israel “has not budged” despite the “campus unrest.” He said the student protests appear out of step with broader public attitudes on Israel and noted that the poll showed Americans largely want a cease-fire in the war but only after Hamas is removed from power and the hostages they seized during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel are returned.

The poll found 61 percent of respondents support a cease-fire only after those conditions are met, while 39 percent support an unconditional cease-fire. A stark divide exists based on age group in responses to this question.

An overwhelming majority of those 55 to 64 and those 65 and older support a cease-fire only after Hamas is gone and the hostages are returned. More narrow majorities of those 35 to 44 and those 45 to 54 also support that, while 59 percent of 25-to-34-year-olds and 67 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds support an unconditional ceasefire.
