Being blacklisted by CAIR a ‘badge of honor,’ Republican Jewish Coalition says. Sam Markstein, national political director and spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition, told JNS on Thursday that being blacklisted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a “badge of honor.” CAIR, which blamed Israel for being attacked shortly after Oct. 7 and which the Biden administration initially listed as part of its national strategy on fighting Jew-hatred but later evicted it, designated the coalition and Jewish American Summit as “anti-Muslim extremist organizations.” The antisemitic group announced the designations on Thursday, accusing both Jewish groups of platforming speakers who...

Besheer Mohamed @bmoham Sep 3 I wrote a data essay on Muslim Americans 25 years after 9/11 – American Muslims have grown in numbers and political visibility, but views of Islam are more negative now than they were six months after the attacks, and far more partisan

Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order recognizing 9/11 Friday — and then gave the symbolic pen to his controversial aide who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon.Administration officials were gathered at City Hall for a pair of executive orders — ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — one establishing a Day of Remembrance and another beefing up security against future terror threats. After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, Hizzoner gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, “Can you pass this?” Tisch awkwardly handed...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order honoring the victims of 9/11 on Friday. Then he handed the ceremonial pen to a lawyer who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist. Yes, really. The surreal ceremony unfolded at City Hall just one week before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Mamdani gathered senior administration officials to sign two executive orders related to the tragedy. You just knew this was going to be a fiasco. And it was. The first “order” establishes September 11 as an official New York City “Day of Remembrance and Service,” complete with a...

Two chilling videos kept out of sight for decades could be the key to persuading a court next month that Saudi Arabia was behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and that victims’ families have amassed enough evidence to continue their years-long legal battle, according to family members of victims. Federal Appeals Court judges in lower Manhattan will hear oral arguments for the first time Oct. 7 that connect the men in those videos to the Saudi government and its intelligence services, as well as the horrific attacks of that day. Both videos involve the same enigmatic figure, Omar al-Bayoumi,...

“Never forget where we came from. I will remember this for as long as I am alive. I thought I was going to get called back into service but I didn’t. God bless our troops and god bless all the hero’s from that day,” Alderman Mike Adkins of Quincy, Illinois posted in commemoration of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on America. One of his posted images included a billboard favoring President Trump’s immigration ban noting that “19 Muslim immigrants killed 2977 Americans” on September 11, 2001. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was named...

Let's Examine Mass Killings in Recent History and Islamism The Muslim Turks murdered, either directly or indirectly, between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians between 1894 and 1924. It was also a jihad, or "holy" war.Sudan, 1953–2004: Some 4 million dead. Written in September 2005: Genocide in Darfur – How the Horror Began , Sudan Tribune, 3 September 2005. Copied here: Racism and Islamism in Khartoum... Perhaps the most destructive civil conflict since World War II and one of the longest wars in Africa's history, it saw the Christian and animist South pitted against the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. As many as...

In the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks, and on the day itself, the establishment media is going to inundate us with feature stories about “Islamophobia.” Here’s one: NPR on Tuesday ran an interview with Rozina Ali, who writes for the New York Times and has just published a new book of victimhood propaganda, Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America. Hawking the book and Ali’s appearance, NPR tells us: After the Sept. 11 attacks, assaults against Muslims in the U.S. surged. At the same time the U.S. government launched a...

Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed loved the Green New Deal, which is economic poison for his state’s economy. That’s why he tried to bury his tweets supporting it, though it’s not shocking given his far-left views. Okay, it’s not the most earth-shattering news that El-Sayed is a green socialist, but he’s been haggled over his support for Hasan Piker and his virulent antisemitic views, and the concerns of Jewish voters, which his campaign has handled miserably. Black and Jewish voters are the two largest minority voting blocs in the state, and they hate this guy. But there’s another headache...

In their collective Trump Derangement, the Elitist Media will grab and hold on to anything they can in order to claw their way back to Regime Media in service of Democrats in power. Most egregious of these are the Hall Monitor subset, who will seemingly defend anyone and anything standing opposite a Republican.This means that America is subjected to Oliver Darcy hysterically howling in protest because the Bari Weiss-led CBS News had the temerity to point out that Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed deleted a series of social media posts evoking the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001. What...

Canada’s state broadcaster announced Friday that journalists will no longer be required to attribute the term “terrorism” when describing the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. “After reviewing our current language guidance, we have decided to adjust it to clarify that direct attribution is not required for describing the historic events of 9/11 as terrorism,” said Basem Boshra, CBC’s senior director of journalistic standards and public trust... https://www.junonews.com/p/breaking-cbc-reverses-911-terrorism

FBI agents also didn't tell the Al Qaeda leader he could call a lawyer. Using the Article III system to try Al Qaeda terrorists was a reasonable solution, the trouble is that military tribunal personnel in this century look nothing like the guys who took a smoke break and sentenced Nazi saboteurs to death during WWII. Their ideal is A Few Good Men, they’re liberals if not outright leftists, and they’re far more likely to be on the side of the terrorists than to be on our side. The few Islamic terrorists whom Obama and Biden didn’t free from Gitmo...

Council on American-Islamic Relations, the US’s largest Muslim charity, blamed the 9/11 terror attacks on the country’s “support of Israel” and accused it of “state-sponsored Islamophobia” in its aftermath, according to since-deleted back-to-school material. The embattled nonprofit released its annual “Back to school resource guide” for K-12 students Monday, containing a link outlining the outrageous claims – but it was inexplicably yanked a day later. Screenshots obtained by The Post show the 16-page guide linked to a page that claimed the devastating Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans were masterminded not by Islamic terrorists but a “group...

Many of you who read Just the Facts know my 2003 book, Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11. It reached #2 on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction list that fall. Its final chapter, “The Interrogation,” broke the story of what Al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah told CIA interrogators shortly after his capture. There’s front-page news today that brought me back to it —and what the coverage is missing. A military judge, Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, has set a June 5, 2028 trial date for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three of his Guantánamo Bay...

A Smithsonian-affiliated museum features programming minimizing the 2,977 Americans killed by Muslim terrorists and instead says Arabs were also victims in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Ward Churchill, the former University of Colorado professor whose writings and outspoken political views ignited a national debate over academic freedom and free speech, has died. His former lawyer says Churchill died of a stroke. ... Churchill was a longtime professor of ethnic studies at CU Boulder. He became a nationally controversial figure in higher education after an essay he wrote that referred to some of the victims of the 9/11 attacks as "little Eichmanns," a characterization that prompted widespread condemnation and made Churchill a national figure. The controversy soon expanded beyond his writings about the 9/11 attacks. In 2005,...

New Orleans has become the first city in the US to use artificial intelligence to answer emergency 911 calls — but critics warn it could have deadly consequences. The Orleans Parish Communication District — which gets over a thousand emergency dials a day, in what is among the highest volume of calls in the country — is routing the 911 calls to an AI agent that decides which ones get bumped to human dispatchers and which get handled by the bot itself, according to the Shreveport Times. “I was a 911 dispatcher for 11 years and this is the worst...

A California city pulled the plug on its entire computer network after a cyberattack knocked out key systems, including 911 routing and police and fire dispatch. Suisun City declared a state of emergency Saturday after malicious software breached its IT systems at about 5:45 a.m. Friday. The city’s response was drastic. Officials shut down the entire network to stop the threat from spreading and protect evidence for a federal investigation. Despite the digital chaos, Suisun City officials said residents are not facing an immediate danger. Emergency crews remain on the streets, with city dispatchers routing calls through the Solano County...
