The federal government knows a lot of troubling things about two prominent American Islamist organizations. Curiously, the same federal government continues to seek out partnerships with those same radical organizations and even awards them taxpayer-funded grant money. Last summer, the Commerce Department severed a partnership with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)…
Their countries wanted them dead because of their ideas. You’ve probably heard of one – Jamal Khashoggi. His 2018 murder inside a Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey sparked international outrage and front page headlines. Khashoggi was a Washington Post columnist, and his brutal killing at the hands of Saudi government agents naturally sparked anger and a vociferous defense…
It is an ultra-conservative Sunni movement that seeks a global Islamic state. It has been banned in 13 countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Germany and Turkey. But representatives of the group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) were welcomed recently by two of America’s largest Islamist groups at their annual joint convention. The group was…
Its leaders won’t condemn terrorist groups like Hamas or Hizballah, but the founder and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says his organization deals with “Zionism on [a] daily basis.” Nihad Awad, who co-founded CAIR in 1994 and is the only person to run it, cast Zionism as inherently…

Nihad Awad has a vision for America’s future. Awad, a co-founder and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) calls it “the formula.” “A strong CAIR equals a strong community,” he said Saturday during CAIR’s national fundraising banquet. “A strong community will produce a strong, and confident and successful Muslim…
Because Saudi Arabia got caught lying about the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi last year, defense attorneys say a Virginia man convicted in 2005 of supporting al-Qaida terrorism should go free. Ahmed Abu Ali‘s 2005 conviction on nine terrorism-related charges – including a plot to assassinate then-President George W. Bush – hinged on…
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used his United Nations General Assembly speech last week to blast Israel as the cause of “injustice” in the Middle East and vow that his country “will continue to stand by the oppressed people of Palestine as she has always done.” But a new report…
A wide-ranging set of comments by Linda Sarsour – the newly designated official surrogate for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders – reveals the full extent of the Orwellian world in which she lives. Her views are even more shocking than what we already know about her pathological fabrication of history, her…
Note: This article has been updated to include the Women’s March’s statement. Zahra Billoo’s tenure as a board member for the national Women’s March lasted three days. The board voted her off Wednesday night, she wrote. The Women’s March issued a statement Thursday saying it “found some of her public…
Bernie Sanders has made an odd calculation in his quest for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He all-but-ceded support from Jewish Democrats during the weekend by announcing anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour again will serve as a campaign surrogate. When Sanders embraced Sarsour’s support during the 2016 campaign, we showed how her rabidly anti-Israel views…
