Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday helped host an online event aimed at encouraging young people to vote that was organized by an activist who said last year that “America deserved 9/11.” The New York Democrat congresswoman, 31, spoke at the beginning of the virtual event, which was streamed on Twitch, and announced an “amazing lineup” of gamers to play “Among Us,” a newly popular video game. Hasan Piker, a vlogger who last year came under fire for saying “America deserved 9/11,” organized the event, which featured popular Twitch streamers along with Ocasio-Cortez and fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who herself has...

This past weekend I did some personal undercover work at a local CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) fundraiser. I made off with a pocket handbook containing some deeply disturbing instructions to their members. I would like everyone to read it.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke has said he is "shocked" the suspected London suicide bombers were British-born. Mr Clarke said the attacks were a "clarion call" for everybody in the UK to defend their society rather than assume "we are all OK". The Muslim community especially must "stand out" against the ideology which promotes bombings, he told BBC News. He said he would consider all means necessary - including deportation - against those fomenting terrorism. 'No coasting' Speaking ahead of an emergency EU summit about security measures in Brussels, Mr Clarke said it was "a central hypothesis" that the bombers were...

I print below an email message I have received from a Muslim. I do so because I believe this writer to be expressing views shared by many, if not most, mainstream Muslims in Britain, the kind who would be utterly horrified by terrorism and are therefore considered to be ‘moderate’. 'I am a Muslim and a regular reader of the Daily Mail. I much enjoy reading your columns. Today, on the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Serbia, I ponder to think what on Earth lead to such hatred against a minority group. What twisted mind...

A journalism professor at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, who previously described the United States as the "Great Deceiver," is criticizing the "attempt to involve U.S. Muslims in London guilt," a reference to the July 7 terrorist attacks in England that killed at least 52 people and may have been the work of al Qaeda. Dr. Kaukab Siddique, who also teaches English at the university named for Abraham Lincoln, is warning readers in his New Trend online magazine not to try to "appease the people in power by subservience, or 'uncle tomming.'"

Anti-American billionaire George Soros is in Spain, where the government agrees with his insane leftist appeasement philosophy: US terrorism approach ‘creates hate’. US billionaire financier George Soros today slammed as dangerous Washington’s strategy to fight terrorism, saying it was creating anger and resentment around the world.
