May it truly come to pass in our lifetime.🙏

I am much more worried about Nick Fuentes and his Groypers than I am Nihad Awad and his bumbling band of CAIR clowns.

The Groypers are quietly taking over the GOP from within. While CAIR has never been more marginalized now because of Awad’s post-Oct. 7 admission.

Thank you for this, David. Our teacher, Prof. Barry Rubin, would be proud. We need him, and if not him, his wisdom, more than ever these days.

Did you know Barry? Since he died I’ve felt a moral and professional obligation to try and popularize his approach to analyzing the Middle East.

I appreciate your kind words so much.

Oh how I wish it were true. For decades they have faithfully followed their roadmap to infiltrate western democracies to destroy them from within. Radical Islamists, meaning those who publicly expose rape and kidnapping as justifiable because of the mythical oppression suffered by Palestinians as iconic of Jewish western domination. They are in key educational positions and have warped/radicalized students from elementary school right up through the universities. It’s not an accident. It’s intentional! Rashid Tlib has pictures on the Internet of herself with her Hamas Palestinian, brother. Mamdani and Al-sayed were groomed to look and speak in a way that far left extremist have embraced with zeal! Never mind that right up until his election the mayor was showing up at Hamas rallies not wearing his Wall Street business suit and has openly said Hamas is not a terrorist or organization. Al-Saeeds coach is violent anti American Hassn Piker who since 911 has said America deserved it. They’re trying to walk it back now but when people show you who they are, you better believe it! Read the family background not the sanitized lies that they’re making up know whoAl- Sayeeds parents are and what activities did they dedicate their lives to? It’s not Islamaphobia when you learn people who have been blatantly, anti-American and democracy, denies, and now get groomed to say what they have understood people will be enticed by.. put on the international level to see and understand that within 24 hours of the most horrific demented Savage assault on civilians in this century was executed around the world. That doesn’t happen in a blink and definitely not a coincidence that they managed to warp the barbaric activities against mainly women, children, and the elderly into condemnation of Israel and Jews everywhere. Most people with no dog in the fight like mainstream Canadians and Americans have almost no idea about October 7 or the mythical Palestinian and oppression. They simply don’t know. There have been, in the last two or three months, some significant cracks in the wall of hate and anti-American infiltration. Some of the universities who enabled, intimidation hate violence, and vandalism on their campuses are finding that mainstream citizens are standing with the Jews in their community and often Israel. It’s daWNING on people that their tax dollars are going to repair the damage that HAMAS SUPPORTERS at universities caused. They realize that expense and damage has nothing to do with the Jews, it’s taken a while, but the legal establishment and some governments are taking a stand, not against antisemitism. But against ISLAMIC JIHADI who are the CAUSE OF THE CHAOS DESTRUCTION AND COST. Not a time for complacency! People on Facebook are proud to love also Saied. They haven’t a clue.

Stephanie, El-Sayed and Mamdani are leftists. They are not Islamists. Their goal is to promote more leftism in America. Their goal is not to implement Shariah.

That is what has happened over the last generation. The younger generations which would have become Islamists just became leftists instead.

I see what you are saying, and there are certainly Muslim groups and Imams who emphatically disown the Islamic terrorists as an ulafront to the true teachings of the Quran. Not these men. Just months before his election Mamdani participated in Pro Hamas rallies and lobbies for Hamas to be removed from the United States list of terrorists. The October 7 attack is universally admitted to be the most horrific terrorist attack of our century. Regardless of what judgments, the United Nations and other countries might say about Israel’s response. Rape kidnapping, sexual atrocities, and savagery are hallmarks of Islamic terrorists. There is no finessing ones endorsement of those who commit such acts. El-Sayeed’’s Involvement with Hassan Piker Is a red line! Whatever They are saying now Must be regarded as inconsistent with their intentions. A few weeks ago in a report to Congress, detailing with substantial Documentation a roadmap decades old from the Muslim brotherhood a map of how to infiltrate democratic institutions and government In order to desensitize the public to the horror site Islamic terrorism like of 9/11 and Isis. I can’t believe I’m even writing this because I have no patience for conspiracy theories. And that’s what it sounds like. Giving power in our government to those who have espoused hatred for America or celebrating 911 is dangerous! They have shown who they are. attempts to walk back their anti American/pro terrorist rhetoric NOW should be suspect. Understatement. The right were swept away with their shiney object. Buyers remorse doesn’t quite capture the mistake and damage it’s done. But for all of Trump’s failures and interest only in his own narcissistic impulses and the damage he’s done, he is not guilty of ever hating America. I don’t trust them.

For someone to count as an Islamist, their goal needs to be Shariah law governing the entire planet.

Don’t believe what I say or think. And don’t be duped by the orchestrated rhetoric they say today. I don’t know much about El-Sayeed but it is DOCUMENTED Mamdani Attends Pro Palestinian hummus rallies, and lobbies for Hamas To be removed from the US terrorist list. If you support rape, kidnap and atrocities as legitimate vote for them support them if you think that rape, kidnap and atrocities are never justified as a stipulated in the United States laws do not be distracted! This Association and support of those ideals should be Repugnant to you.

Here are some responses from AI To the question as to whether terrorist groups and advocating global, Jihad is contrary to democracy. The attribution is NATO. I trust their assessment

The term "Islamic Jihad" refers to different concepts depending on whether it is interpreted as the broad, global ideology of Salafi-Jihadism, or a specific militant group like Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Islamic_Jihad, https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/en/article/20180703STO07127/jihadist-terrorism-in-the-eu-since-2015]

The primary goal of global jihadist networks is to establish a strict Islamic state or Caliphate governed entirely by Sharia law. While their long-term ideological vision involves replacing secular democracies and Western systems, their immediate military and strategic focus is almost entirely aimed at overthrowing governments in Muslim-majority countries (the "near enemy") and expelling Western military and political influence from those regions (the "far enemy"). [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30411519]

The distinction between how global jihadists view Western democracies and their actual strategic goals breaks down as follows:

1. View on Democracy and Sharia Law

Jihadist groups (such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS) explicitly reject democracy, elected parliaments, and popular sovereignty. Under their fundamentalist interpretation of Salafi-Jihadism
