Crying Terror-Linked Islamists Infiltrated Texas GOP. Then they pretended to be the victims and the media bought it. June 24, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield. “A Muslim Texan sought to find his place in the party at the state GOP convention. He left in tears,” Houston’s PBS station reported. “They’re Conservative, Vote Republican, and Love America. The Texas GOP Wants Them to Leave,” a Texas Monthly story complained. The story of how the supposed “patriotic” Republican Muslims were being kicked out made the rounds of the media. There was one little problem. None of it was true. According to the Texas...

Coffee Shop in NYC in Full Retreat After Hateful Attack on Jewish Congressman Backfires in Every Way Possible. By Samuel Short June 23, 2026. Poetica Coffee in New York City claims to be a welcoming place for every guest that walks through the door, but their latest spat with New York Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman shows they aren’t as welcoming as it would seem. [https://nypost.com/2026/06/22/us-news/nyc-coffee-shop-bans-pro-israel-politician-in-nasty-post-despite-promise-to-treat-all-customers-with-unconditional-dignity/]The New York Post reported Goldman made his way into Poetica’s Brooklyn location, and things seemed typical enough until an angry post on social media platform Instagram was made by owner Parviz Mukhamadkulov, who is originally...

Head of Public Policy Tim Dieppe has highlighted for years the link between ‘grooming gangs’ and Islam. He reviews the new report from Rupert Lowe’s inquiry... The scale of the abuse. The report cites evidence that these crimes were carried out by mostly Muslim men with predominantly Pakistani heritage. These gangs have been operating around the country since the 1950s. The report estimates that at least 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma.

Shayma Alzubi was reassigned after social media posts supporting Sharia were brought to light. A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed against the Fort Worth Independent School District over its decision to reassign a newly promoted high school principal after parents and community members raised alarms about her pro-Palestinian and pro‑Sharia social media activity. In May, Fort Worth ISD announced that longtime district administrator Shayma Alzubi had been promoted to serve as principal of Western Hills High School for the 2026–27 school year. Alzubi signed her principal contract and compensation paperwork earlier that month, according to the suit. Days...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its Texas chapter have filed a federal lawsuit against Fort Worth ISD on behalf of Shayma Alzubi, the former incoming principal at Western Hills High School, who was reassigned after scrutiny of past social media posts. The complaint, filed June 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, brings claims under the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. It seeks to return Alzubi to the Western Hills principal role for the 2026-2027 school year, along with damages, attorneys’ fees, and litigation...

A United States-based human rights organization has expressed alarm over the demolition of three mosques in India within a matter of days, arguing that the incidents reflect a broader pattern of discrimination against the country’s Muslim minority. Justice For All, a U.S.-based advocacy group that campaigns for human rights and religious freedom, said authorities demolished the three mosques over a five-day period, including two in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and one in the western state of Rajasthan. The organization’s statement comes after the demolition of Masjid Mustafa Qadri in Sambhal, the Shaheed Azgaib Mosque in Varanasi and Jaipur’s...

The Texas GOP rejected individuals with ties to an organization that Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated as linked to terrorist groups, trying to serve as delegates at their convention. Left-wing Texas media went out of its way to falsely present the story as one of anti-Muslim bigotry. At the Republican Party of Texas Convention in Houston in June, individuals with ties to CAIR attempted to serve as delegates to the state GOP. When party members objected and tried to remove them, the Texas Tribune inverted the facts in order to frame the infiltrators as victims. In reality it was...

As new law looms, allies defend Gov. DeSantis’ CAIR ban before appeals court. The case could test how far states can go in labeling and defunding groups they deem security risks. A conservative legal coalition is urging an appeals court to let Gov. Ron DeSantis bar the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) from receiving Florida contracts, funding and benefits. Their argument: Florida has the power to refuse public support for organizations it says have ties to terrorism. In an amicus brief, Holtzman Vogel lawyers Mark Pinkert and Jason Torchinsky advised the court to rule in favor of DeSantis’ appeal of...

The First Amendment forbids the government from forcing you to disclose the groups or organizations that you support. That is because the First Amendment guarantees our right to associate with others, and associational privacy is fundamental to that freedom. Nevertheless, in complete disregard for these associational rights, the Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires investors to disclose the businesses they support financially. No government agency has the authority to compel Americans to disclose the companies in which they invest. Yet for several years, the SEC has done exactly that through a surveillance program called the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). The...

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is investigating what happened to $30 million it sent to a Muslim nonprofit to help resettle Afghan refugees in the US, The Post has learned. The department is the latest to look into the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) amid accusations it has ties to dangerous groups in foreign nations including terror group Hamas. In letters to the governors of California and Washington, where the $30 million was sent, HHS — headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — claims it has received information that “raises concerns about the business practices and...

The allegations in the complaint were found to be substantiated, and the funds were proven to have...

Concerns are mounting in Washington over Qatar’s expanding financial footprint across key American sectors, where investment flows are increasingly seen as a vehicle for strategic influence and geopolitical leverage, a new study has found. According to a newly released report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a Washington, DC-based think tank, Qatar has invested over $400 billion in the United States since 2000, with analysts now raising alarm bells over the scale and strategic reach of its financial ties. While FDD’s analysis uses a conservative baseline, the estimate could even reach roughly $1.2 trillion in investment flows if...

Terror-linked groups swarmed Amy Mek at ‘Sharia-Free America’ congressional hearing. CAIR, MPAC and Code Pink operatives engaged in intimidation tactics as RAIR’s founder boldly exposed Islam’s threat to the Constitution. Terrorist-linked groups swarmed RAIR founder Amy Mek at Part II of a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing held on May 13, 2026, spearheaded by Representative Chip Roy.

Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer got the cold shoulder from the two Democratic candidates running for the House seat in the district he calls home.During the feisty NY1 debate Monday night, Rep. Dan Goldman and Democratic primary rival Brad Lander were asked if they would support Schumer, 75, a Park Slope constituent, if he runs for re-election in 2028."I think it's time for new leadership in the Democratic Party. That's why I'm running in this race against Rep. Goldman," Lander said, throwing Schumer under the bus..."I have not thought about it. I have no idea whether he's going to...

Who are the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, and why should Americans care? Because both are Islamist front groups dedicated to Islam’s eradication of Christianity and Judaism, the genocide of the Jews and anyone opposing them, and the conquest of Western Civilization. The invaluable Discover the Networks notes the Muslim Brotherhood is determined “that Islam should be ‘given hegemony over all matters of life.” To accomplish that, the Brother’s credo states: “God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of...

CAIR-LA crosses a very distinct line in its attack on UCLA's guidelines against anti-Semitism. Hussam Ayloush deserves credit for cultivating his reputation as a “moderate Muslim.” He has proven effective at winning over audiences -- including liberal Jews -- all the while aiming many of his relentless anti-Israel attacks at them. His worst detractors would concede he qualifies as the educated and polished face of CAIR-LA (Council on American-Islamic Relations). Ayloush showcased his rhetorical skill at the time he issued a “public statement” opposing UCLA’s new guidelines to Combat Antisemitism (released by Chancellor Julio Frenk and a 15-person action group)....

Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it. Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic...
