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...

Amajor Tehran theater production has dropped a prominent actor after his support for Palestine triggered fierce backlash, exposing a rare reversal where a stance strongly backed by the Islamic Republic appears to have become a liability with the public. Navid Mohammadzadeh, one of Iran’s most prominent film and theater actors, was removed Monday from the cast of the theater-orchestral production “Arash,” according to a statement from the production team. The producers cited “multiple controversies,” unspecified personal problems and, unusually, “the lack of audience interest in him” as reasons for the decision, saying a replacement would be announced soon. The wording...

Governor Ron DeSantis: We’ve designated CAIR, named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror financing trial in history, as a foreign terrorist organization. All states should follow suit. We’ve also removed Soros-backed DAs who refuse to honor their oaths to enforce the law. Amazing!

Massive protests have erupted outside the venue where the chief of a Hindu far-right paramilitary, instrumental in putting India’s ruling party in power, Mohan Bhagwat, addressed his supporters in New York. Bhagwat, who leads the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organisation widely regarded as the ideological parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), spoke at the event titled "Universal Oneness Celebration", organised by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD) at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. His appearance capped an international RSS tour that began August 25 and had already triggered significant backlash in the days leading...

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...

Southern Methodist University will not allow a CAIR-Texas-promoted Muslim youth leadership symposium branded “Unapologetically Muslim: Youth in Action” to take place on its campus after reviewing the planned event and citing what the university called the State of Texas’ “current designation of the symposium’s organizer.” SMU announced the decision in a statement to The Dallas Express after DX requested comment about the September 19 Muslim Youth Leadership Symposium, which CAIR-Texas had advertised for the SMU campus. SMU says event will not take place SMU described the symposium as unaffiliated with the university and said allowing it to proceed on campus...

Fatten Elkomy and brother worked for Islamic American Relief Agency that 'provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bin Laden in 1999' ============================================================= ============================================================= Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed last month highlighted how his mother “taught me so much about both how to stand with others, and how to stand alone.” In a video posted to TikTok, the former Wayne County health official chatted on a porch swing with Jacqueline El-Sayed, a highly accomplished engineer from Gratiot County, about how his stepmother helped shape his views on life as she helped raise the progressive firebrand in Bloomfield Hills, an...

Illinois Islamic Scholar Sheikh Kifah Mustapha called for Muslims during Friday prayer to seek positions within the police, federal agencies, the police, fire departments, the Pentagon, the White House, and the Senate to “change the world” for Islam. This cleric has terrorist ties, and is linked to CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. Islamic leaders aren’t trying to hide their intentions… believe them when they tell you their goal is to infiltrate every bastion of American authority so they can seize power. Illinois Islamic Scholar Sheikh Kifah Mustapha at The Prayer Center of Orland Park on July 31, 2026, came right...

The feds are probing a shadowy nonprofit’s $100 million anti-Israel “war chest” allegedly amassed by a glamorous ally of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a racecar-driving billionaire and a Texas private equity mogul, The Post has learned. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating a UK-based outfit known only as PFF, scrutinizing whether it illegally funneled donor funds to Al-Haq, a Palestinian group sanctioned by the US in September, sources said. Two sources with direct knowledge said federal agents are investigating more broadly whether the fund’s organizers employ opaque UK corporate entities to obscure cross-border financial flows. One insider said the “linchpin”...

Oh say can you see…no fireworks or football? Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s (D) past views on iconic aspects of American life might make some voters take note. The progressive candidate, who narrowly won his Aug. 4 primary over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to face Republican Mike Rogers in November, was caught hating on ultra-American things like fireworks, the Second Amendment and even — gasp! — football in old YouTube videos. The clips, some of which have since been deleted, were reported by CNN’s K-File. In one now-deleted July 2024 video, El-Sayed, 41, says, “Fireworks suck!” and pleads with viewers...

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas. A Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed, who has made getting “money out of politics” a central campaign rallying cry, has accepted donations from at least 41 individuals who either work for CAIR, formerly worked for CAIR, or have served in leadership positions with the organization.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed had been the newly picked Democrat party nominee for U.S. Senate from Michigan for only hours when startling charges about improper connections and cash arose. El-Sayed’s campaign had taken in more than $115,000 from people “who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” according to a Fox News report. The problem with that? CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas. CAIR, the politically active organization promotion Islam throughout America, in fact, was named as an...

MIKE ROGERS FOR U.S. SENATE ROGERS ON MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT NOMINEE FOR U.S. SENATE "The choice this November is simple: common sense or complete insanity. For more than 25 years, one party has controlled Michigan's two Senate seats — and they've run our state into the ground. They've driven 200,000 manufacturing jobs out of Michigan. They've dropped our schools to 45th in the nation. They've saddled families with the highest utility rates in the Midwest. Working people are paying more, earning less, and getting left behind. And now the same failed politicians are asking us to send Abdul El-Sayed to Washington....

Less than a 1% lead? That's all Abdul El-Sayed has after (1) coordinated support from imams, (2) a wave of liberal endorsements, and (3) backing from an Arab Super PAC. NYT ScreenshotFreep. — El-Sayed's lead in the race was less than 1% when multiple outlets called it for him early.

NYPD statistics reveal that anti-Jewish hate crimes spiked over 53% in July, accounting for nearly 70% of all confirmed bias incidents across New York City.

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of Tulsa (IST) announced a press conference in Tulsa to announce the filing of a lawsuit against the City of Broken Arrow. CAIR and IST said the lawsuit is in response to the City of Broken Arrow denying a rezoning request for a proposed mosque. The press conference is set to be held on August 3 at 1 p.m. at the Islamic Society of Tulsa. The speakers will be representatives from IST and the CAIR Legal Defense Fund (CAIR LDF).

New York State Attorney General Letitia James hammers conservative outfits over paperwork errors, but look how kind she is when the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a political ally, flouts state charity and elections law. CAIR and related entity CAIR Action jumped into New York Democratic primaries in June to endorse and fundraise for a host of anti-Zionist candidates, including the victorious Darieliza Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez. Setting aside CAIR’s links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, this would be normal political activity — except that CAIR Action NY, though registered federally as a 501(c)(4), never registered with...

NY stabbing the result of Mayor Mamdani’s incitement campaign against Jewish people, says CAM CEO. "We have watched rhetoric normalizing hatred of Jews and Israel move from the fringes into the mainstream of New York City politics.

Everything You Need to Know About Gaza’s Fatality Numbers In recent weeks, two talking points have spread rapidly across media and social platforms. The first is the claim that the IDF now accepts Hamas’ assertion that 70,000 people were killed in Gaza. This was widely framed as a decisive moment, a supposed confession by Israel that Hamas’ figures were correct all along. That narrative is false. The IDF did not affirm Hamas’ fatality count and explicitly rejected the idea that a vague remark by an unnamed official constituted confirmation of anything. More importantly, even if one were to accept a...
