Life was never the same for New Yorkers after the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001, with every resident coping with the trauma and devastation of that day. But for Muslim New Yorkers there was an added burden: the suspicion and sometimes physical harm now lurking around every corner. Vigilante violence against Arabs and Muslims exploded across the city and around the country. In what feels very much like a precursor to today’s ruthless ICE raids, mass arrests swept up Muslims on flimsy immigration pretexts, with many of them being held under extremely abusive conditions. The contemporary national security state...

Before the midterms next November, one of the most important actions that congressional Republicans should take is a vote on the No Sharia Act, a critical bill that reaffirms the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and ensures that Sharia law never finds a home in the United States. The No Sharia Act, introduced by Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) last month, very simply “prohibits the enforcement of Sharia or any foreign law that infringes on constitutional rights.” It also states that “In matters involving marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, or inheritance, no court shall apply or enforce foreign...

A Jewish lawyer was arrested in London for wearing a Star of David necklace, with police claiming it could “antagonize” protesters, sparking outrage and condemnation from Israeli officials. Police officers from London's Metropolitan Police arrested a Jewish lawyer for openly wearing a Star of David necklace, alleging that doing so "antagonized" pro-Palestinian protesters, and that the symbol could "cause offense," British outlet The Telegraph reported on Saturday. The lawyer claimed to the Telegraph that he was handcuffed and detained for almost 10 hours in an attempt to "criminalize the wearing of a Star of David."

Rising outrage by families of 9/11 victims and FBI agents involved in the original World Trade Center bombing investigation, along with attacks from political rivals and questions from the one or two media outlets not in the tank for his campaign, forced Zohran Mamdani to answer why he had campaigned at the Al-Taqwa Mosque, which had been under NYPD surveillance, and tweeted a photo of himself with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted coconspirator in the World Trade Center bombing. And Mamdani’s response was accusing critics of ‘Islamophobia’. “The same imam met with Mayor Bloomberg, met with Mayor De Blasio, campaigned...

“You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.” After Zohran Mamdani castigated Cuomo for not visiting a mosque, he showed him how it was done by visiting the Al-Taqwa Mosque and posing smilingly with its Jihadist Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Mamdani, running to be the city’s first Muslim mayor, had already visited a great many mosques, some, like the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, already notorious for its support for Hamas and cursing Christians and Jews, but had saved the worst mosque for last. The progressive candidate openly embraced an imam who...

Within Islam, the Prophet Muhammad is highly respected and revered. Even mentioning his name requires Muslims to follow it with an honorific like “peace be upon him.” He was also given prestigious titles, such as apostle, messenger, prophet, and warner. The popularity of the name Muhammad for baby boys also demonstrates the respect Muslims have for him. Muhammad has been a common name for boys in Muslim countries for centuries and is becoming increasingly popular in Western countries that have become infested with large Muslim populations. But then, who wouldn’t want to name their child after a serial rapist (see...

Hamas is an irredeemable terrorist cartel that subverts Gaza, uses civilians as shields, and must be dismantled and barred from power before any genuine peace can begin. Hamas was born and exists to kill Jews, seek the destruction of Israel, and, to some extent, overthrow or subvert pro-Western Arab governments. Period. For those ends, it diverted billions of dollars from the people of Gaza to build a vast subterranean labyrinth of military headquarters and arsenals. It expropriated hospitals, mosques, and schools for use as tunnel entries and exits, using expendable civilian shields to protect its rich terrorist hierarchy. Hamas always...

Terrorist who burned mother and child to death is honored by Palestinian Authority TVEphraim D. TeplerOct 19Just a day after being released from prison, official Palestinian Authority television interviewed despicable terrorist Muhammad Daoud, who brutally murdered Ofra Moses and her five-year-old son, Tal.In 1987, Daoud threw a Molotov cocktail at Ofra's car, setting it ablaze and burning her alive in front of her entire family as they also suffered severe burns. Ofra's son succumbed to those wounds 90 days later as well.Palestinian Media Watch has previously exposed how the PA portrayed Daoud on its official television channel as being "kidnapped"...

The terror-linked Brooklyn imam who palled around in a photo opp this week with socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani once urged “jihad” on the Big Apple. Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders, delivered his radical message during a sermon in the early 2000s, telling followers to participate in gun-free jihad and “march through the city of New York,” according to a foreign intelligence assessment obtained Saturday by The Post. “I pray one day Allah will bless us to raise an army, and I’m serious about this,” he said during the sermon, which was first reported...

People living in the West need to understand the Muslim mindset. At a time when America finds itself dealing with pro-terrorist rallies on college campuses, the U.S. government providing military arms and equipment to Islamic countries, and Americans deeply concerned about impending terrorist threats and Islamic law (sharia) being imposed and adjudicated in local communities, how does the average person come to understand these issues? How can an effective solution be reached when few really seem to know what is going on? It is helpful to begin with the understanding that the Islamic world sees everything through the same lens....

Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani happily campaigned with a popular Brooklyn Imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing — and whose son once ran a terrorist camp for kids. The Democratic nominee appears in a photo posted to X laughing and grinning, standing arm-in-arm with Imam Siraj Wahhaj and City Councilmember Yusef Salaam at Wahhaj’s Bed-Stuy mosque to celebrate the weekly Muslim prayer. “Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost...

He said what no politician dares to admit — and that’s exactly why this clip is spreading like wildfire. Tommy Robinson just delivered one of the most explosive, unapologetic monologues Britain has heard in years — raw, furious, and completely uncensored. No teleprompter. No filters. Just truth — the kind the media hides. He started by naming the forgotten victims of October 7th — not as headlines, but as human beings. Innocent families, children, festival-goers — slaughtered and dragged underground by terrorists. Robinson asked the question no one else will: why were there no global protests demanding their release? Why...

Shortly after midday on Saturday a baying mob is expected to gather outside the Birmingham offices of Shabana Mahmood. The Home Secretary would be well advised to stay away, because the ring-leaders are not interested in small measures. In highly inflammatory social media adverts, they have appealed for nothing less than “mass mobilisation” of pro-Palestinian protestors to “shut Birmingham down.” Never mind that the war between Israel and Hamas is officially over: this is an ideological crusade with no obvious end. Those behind the latest march say they “won’t be silenced” until Palestine is “free.”

Steve Yee, the principal of Earl Haig Secondary School in Toronto, has apologized for that school playing “O Canada,” the Canadian national anthem, in Arabic. It was played on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. He claimed, “this was not done with any ill intent.” Well hear Yee, hear Yee, that sounds like so much b*******. The playing of the Canadian National Anthem in Arabic is hard enough to believe. That the first time this ever happened in the entirety of Canadian history just happened to be on Oct. 7 cannot possibly be a coincidence....

In the cesspool of New York City politics, where ambition often trumps integrity, Zohran Mamdani stands out as a particularly insidious figure, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist whose campaign reeks of calculated deception. As the Democratic nominee for mayor in this 2025 election, Mamdani has mastered the art of flip-flopping, dodging, and outright dissimulation, behaviors that echo the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya. For those unfamiliar, taqiyya allows Muslims, particularly in Shia traditions like Mamdani's Twelver background, to conceal their true beliefs under threat. But in Mamdani's case, it's not persecution he's hiding from, it's the electorate's scrutiny. He's weaponizing it to...

Hamas intends to maintain security control in Gaza during an interim period, a senior Hamas official told Reuters, adding he could not commit to the group disarming - positions that reflect the difficulties facing US plans to secure an end to the war. Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal also said the group was ready for a ceasefire of up to five years to rebuild devastated Gaza, with guarantees for what happens afterwards depending on Palestinians being given "horizons and hope" for statehood. Speaking to Reuters in an interview from Doha, where Hamas politicians have long resided, Nazzal defended the group's...

Louisiana man accused of joining Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack, say US prosecutors. Prosecutors say Mahmoud al-Muhtadi urged others to join the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel and that his phone later connected to an Israeli cell tower, indicating he crossed the border. A Louisiana man has been charged with participating in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Friday. The complaint, reported by The New York Times, identified the suspect as Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi, who prosecutors said was an operative for a Gaza-based terror group that fought alongside Hamas. Authorities...

Operatives have been discovered in Italy, Germany, Sweden and Denmark, and are working to obtain permanent residence permits. European leaders are drawing up plans for maintaining peace in the Middle East. But reports suggest they should be more concerned about the presence of extremists at home. Italian daily Libero Quotidiano warned on Thursday that “Hamas is already among us,” with an “armed, organised network ready to strike.” Giovanni Giacalone, who is an expert on terrorism and Islamic groups, also told il Giornale on Friday that while “it’s difficult to provide a precise estimate of how many Hamas supporters there are...
