WHO ARE THEY? CALL CONGRESS 1 (202) 224-3121 (House switchboard)

Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.

And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.

We're NOT going to evacuate everyone from Afghanistan: Government admits rescue operation could last just 'a few more days' as planes take off EMPTY Daily Mail ^ | August20,2021 | By CHRIS PLEASANCE and JACK WRIGHT and JAMES FIELDING Posted on 8/20/2021, 11:16:07 AM by Hojczyk

UK evacuated 963 people from Kabul yesterday and is planning for 1,000 more to leave the country today

But armed forces minister has been forced to admit that people will get left behind when air bridge closes

James Heappey said the airport is likely to remain open for just a few more days before troops are pulled out

It was revealed that planes are still taking off from the airstrip near-empty as the wife of a British ex-Marine boarded a Norwegian plane last night on which she was virtually the only passenger

Meanwhile Taliban guards at the airport are becoming increasingly violent to huge crowds of people waiting to leave, with one man holding US visas shot in the head yesterday

Islamists also said to be going through the crowd looking for western collaborators, while elsewhere in the country NATO and US allies have been shot and tortured to death

The UK will not be able to evacuate everyone it has promised sanctuary to from Afghanistan and the air bridge to Kabul airport may remain open for just a few more days, the armed forces minister has admitted today.

Britain has promised to evacuate some 7,000 UK citizens and Afghan staff from the country, in addition to 5,000 refugees, but James Heappey said today that 'that sad truth is, we don't have it in our gift to stay there until absolutely everyone is out'.

'The air bridge could last two more days, five more days, ten more days,' he added, insisting that the armed forces are 'working hard to maximise capacity' on every flight while revealing 963 people were taken out of Kabul on British flights yesterday with 1,000 expected to be flown out today.

Activist Imam Fundraising For Afghan Refugees Spoke With

As refugees from Afghanistan pour into the Fort Lee U.S. military base in Virginia, an imam named Ammar Amonette is leading the fundraising drive for the Afghan refugees. Ammar Amonette, Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, is a left-wing activist who has spoken alongside Democrat then-Governor Terry McAuliffe, worked with the state’s Democrat attorney general to push hate crime legislation, held a press conference with Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and protested President Donald Trump’s travel ban on terrorism-rich countries.

In a 2004 interview unearthed by NATIONAL FILE, Amonette discussed the 9/11 attackers, saying, “Terrorism is about symbolic targets. It’s sending a political message. The World Trade Center sounds in Arabic like ‘center for globalization.’ I think they took it literally, and globalism may be a threat. But in Islamic law, even if you have a good purpose or goal, you have to follow the rules.” Amonette previously served as imam of the Colorado Muslim Society which, during his tenure, hosted an event with then-Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine Ekrima Sabry, who has said that it is a “fairytale” that six million Jews died in the Holocaust.

Ammar Amonette’s Islamic Center of Virginia is raising money and supplies for the Afghan refugees at Fort Lee. DiscoveringIslam.org describes Michigan-born Amonette as “an American Islamic scholar who is a convert to Islam. He spent 12 years studying in Saudi Arabia. He initially studied at Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He later earned a Masters at the Graduate Institute for Preparation of Imams in Mecca.” Amonette’s efforts to help the migrants was profiled this week by CBS 6 Richmond in which he stated that “It’s going to be a long process and it’s only beginning” and said “a new plane is arriving every day” to take refugees to Fort Lee.
