This goes back to June 2015, when my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), created a free-speech ad campaign defying the blasphemy laws under the Shariah. We put up 100 billboards around St. Louis, depicting the winning cartoon in our Muhammad cartoon contest that was fired upon by jihadis in Garland, Texas, under the headline, "SUPPORT FREE SPEECH." The cartoon depicted Muhammad being drawn by an artist. Muhammad says, "You can't draw me!" The artist responds: "That's why I draw you." It was an apt summation of the courage and refusal to be bullied that we need to have in the face of violent intimidation from Islamic jihadis.

The billboards featuring this Muhammad cartoon also went up in and around the northern tri-county area of Marion, Baxter and Boone counties in Arkansas. But in what could only called an end-run around the First Amendment, when we tried to run them in the Washington, D.C., subway, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) enforced the Shariah under the guise of banning all "political ads." No other ad had compelled WMATA to take such drastic action. My ads violating Islamic blasphemy laws led to Shariah bans in New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco et al.

The ban itself is mutable and unclear. No contemporary medium of communication may pass the test of being merely commercial and non-political. The New York Times runs an editorial page every day – not to mention the slant of their "straight news" – and therefore, if they can advertise, so can the Village Voice, the Socialist Militant and Dabiq (ISIS' four-color magazine), for that matter.

The WMATA threw in public safety for good measure, as if these craven quislings knew what was conducive to the public good. Color me skeptical. They said the buses would be a target for jihadis. Yet if we've learned anything since 9/11, it is that America is the target. The West is the target for Islamic terrorism. Abridging our freedoms so as not to offend savages is surrender and un-American. It results in more demands, more surrender, more capitulation to Shariah law (which is what WMATA did).

Running and hiding is no strategy in a war. Operation Fetal Position is a recipe for disaster.

No one cared when my ads were banned, but it was never about me. The enemedia makes it about me, monsterizes me, so that people run in horror at the bogeyman and say yes, yes, shut her up, shut her down. It's covert totalitarianism.

The Catholic Church, of course, would not have dreamed of sticking up for my free-speech rights at the time the Geller Ban first was put into place. But it's like the famous Martin Niemöller poem:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.

Now they have come for the Catholic Church, and who will speak up for their free-speech rights?

What most people don't know is the Geller Ban is not unique to Washington, D.C. In fact, the Geller Ban is in effect in every major city in the United States: New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago, liberal San Francisco, Denver and more.

So who will speak up for the other organizations that want to run perfectly reasonable ads, as mine were, and run afoul of this ban?

This is what the left does to anyone who stands in the way of the Islamic agenda. It's all in my new book, "FATWA: Hunted in America." Get the book, buy it for friends. Educate those around you.

The post Catholic Church snagged by 'the Geller Ban' appeared first on WND.

The injustice began in the proceedings at the Snake River Juvenile Detention Center in Twin Falls when Judge Thomas Borreson of Idaho's 5th Judicial District ordered the little victim's parents to say nothing to anyone – ever – about what was said in the courtroom Monday, or to disclose the sentence he gave to the savage attackers. He did allow them to say that they were unhappy with the sentencing, but threatened to jail them for contempt of court if they disclosed why they were unhappy with it.

But even though the victim's parents were not allowed to talk to me, there were 12 to 15 people in the courtroom who saw and heard the whole sorry business. I was informed of what happened by an anonymous source inside the courtroom – and the more I heard, the more I understood why this judge wanted to keep all the proceedings secret.

Janice Kroeger, the senior deputy prosecuting attorney, who was supposed to be trying these boys for their crimes, defended the boys and repeatedly attacked Lacy, the victim's mother. A therapist for the boys was present, as well as a parole officer and a detective. Everything that was said was designed to portray the perpetrators as victims. Throughout the proceedings, they were repeatedly called victims, and the youngest one was called "the biggest victim of them all."

The court heard all about how the attackers are doing well in school, and about how smart they are. They were praised for the supposed ordeal they had to go through. It was claimed that all three are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from having to go through courtroom proceedings.

After this lovefest, which lasted for five hours in the courtroom, all three boys were sentenced, one after the other. All three were given probation. They were not found guilty of rape, but of sexually lewd conduct.

In the midst of this judicial mugging, every time Lacy's lawyer tried to speak up, he was silenced. The little victim, Jayla, was never even mentioned once by Kroeger or the judge – or by the police or anyone else. Only Lacy mentioned her, when she made her statement. Lacy detailed how the poor girl is still suffering the effects of this attack: She is wetting the bed and having bad dreams, and more.

Yet when Lacy completed her statement, Kroeger lashed out not at the perpetrators or their parents, but at Lacy. She viciously tongue-lashed Lacy for a full 15 minutes, until finally Judge Borreson had to stop her.

Understandably, the parents of the victim were and are devastated. Back in April, when the attackers initially pleaded guilty, Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said: "I am pleased that we were able to resolve this case in a way that was approved and agreed to by the victim's family. This continues to be a serious and sad case, but it was resolved properly."

Nothing could be further from the truth. The resolution of the case was not accepted by the victim's family, and it was not resolved properly.

From the beginning to the end, for Idaho officials this case was about one thing, and one thing only: not justice for this poor little girl who was brutalized and abused, but about making sure that Americans don't start to realize what is happening and oppose the Muslim migrant influx. Idaho officials were willing to sacrifice this girl's well-being for that goal – to their everlasting shame.

If there were any justice, Judge Borreson would be impeached and removed now. Meanwhile, please help the victim and her family meet their considerable expenses: Contribute here.

The post Travesty: Migrant attackers of 5-year-old unpunished appeared first on WND.

On May 17, a CNN reporter named Simon Ostrovsky contacted me, inviting me to be interviewed for a CNN Money program: "It's about ad revenue on YouTube. I saw that you published a post about revenue dropping in YouTube, and you attributed it to Google and Facebook being left-leaning companies that were censoring alternate points of view. Would you be able to tell us how significant the impact has been and if it's ongoing and if you see this as a wider campaign to undermine your message?"

Having a sense of what CNN was after, I responded: "Simon, Yes, the revenue drop has been drastic. Who else will be on? I am not interested in an ambush." He responded with reassurances: "This would be a package, so it would not be a studio discussion with other guests. Just me and you, and I'd like cover a couple topics including the revenue on YouTube and AdSense and your views on why the changes are taking place and if you agree with the characterization of your content as advertiser un-friendly. Are those areas you are OK to talk about?"

I agreed to go, since I am currently in a lawsuit challenging Section 230 of the FEC code, which grants these social media giants immunity from prosecution: They can censor as much as they wish without fear of legal action. We are trying to remove that protection, so as to preserve the freedom of speech. As it is, this protection gives them enormous power. I have well over a million followers who voluntarily chose to receive my content, and Facebook is blocking them from getting it. This has dramatically affected the advertising revenue upon which I depend not only for the upkeep of my site, but for my own livelihood; it is 90 percent down since mid-February.

Ostrovsky asked me to bring my laptop to CNN's studios so that I could show him my Google AdSense account and Google Analytics, to show the precipitous drop in referrals from Facebook, Google AdSense, YouTube and related sources. I did. Ostrovsky saw that revenue from Facebook was down from $150 a day at this time six months ago to $30 a day now.

But Ostrovsky had lied in his emails to me. He wasn't really interested in how Facebook and the rest were censoring me at all. He had a thick stack of copies of posts that were 10 years old and older from my website. He was calling out my advertisers, claiming that I was inciting to war crimes and that these advertisers were supporting my incitement by placing ads on my website. "Advertisers should know what they're supporting," he said. He pointed to a 2006 headline in which I had called for bombing Gaza, because of the rockets they were firing at Israeli civilian installations. This was the basis for his claim that I was inciting war crimes.

I explained to him that this post had to be understood in its historical context. At that time, jihadis in Gaza were sending rockets into Israel and hitting Israeli civilian institutions: schools, synagogues, hospitals were all at risk. So I was calling for defense against that. Ostrovsky responded, "Well, that's not in the headline." I said, "Yes, you have to read the story. It's patently dishonest and journalistic malpractice to get me here and ambush me with a vicious, destructive narrative."

Ostrovsky had much more. He pulled out a Daily Caller piece in which I had said that Islam is the problem. He said, "Don't you realize that's deeply offensive to many Muslims?" I answered, "Jihad is deeply offensive to many Muslims. We have to be able to talk about the problem, or we will never be able to deal with it properly. You are adhering to Shariah. Under Shariah, you cannot criticize Islam. There is a death penalty in Shariah for blasphemy, apostasy and hypocrisy. You are bringing this to America. I don't live under Shariah. I can talk about these matters freely, as we must."

Then Ostrovsky said, "If you said, 'Judaism is the problem,' that would be anti-Semitic." To that I responded, "If Jews were slaughtering people while screaming, 'HaShem akbar,' I would say that Judaism is the problem. If Christians were killing in the name of Christ, I would say Christianity is the problem. But they aren't, and it isn't."

What do YOU think? Are the real Islamophobes the ones capitulating to terror? Sound off in today's WND poll!

"FX is a major corporation," Ostrovsky said. "Don't you think they should know what they're supporting?" I said, "They know they want to reach 150,000 people. They aren't supporting everything that's on my page. Do you think CNN advertisers are supporting its scrubbing of all mention of jihad from the reporting of jihad attacks? The Manchester attacker was screaming Islamic prayers on the street in the weeks before the attack – was that on CNN? Do CNN advertisers approve of this being swept under the rug at CNN?"

I told him that CNN's advertisers should not be paying his salary to destroy people with lies and defamation. He asked me what lies CNN had told. We could have been there for days as I answered that question, but I gave him just one example: CNN's headline after President Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia: "Trump silent on human rights." Now all of a sudden CNN cares about human-rights violations in Muslim countries? Incredible. Obama gave billions to Muslim countries with long records of human-rights violations – most notably the Islamic Republic of Iran – and CNN never said a word. Bloody hypocrites. Their only interest is in bringing President Trump down.

I told Ostrovsky that advertisers should not be supporting a news organization that promotes and incites to violence, whitewashing and obscuring the jihad ideology. He said, "I'm Jewish!" I responded, "That doesn't give you a blank check to destroy. You're a left-wing Jew. You guys are the worst. You're a Jew for jihad, you're a kapo. I can't believe that the little advertising I still get, you want to extinguish. You want to silence all voices that don't support your vicious agenda. You should be ashamed of yourself," I told him. "How do you sleep at night? How do you look in the mirror? You brought me here to talk about the freedom of speech, and you are working to destroy it."

He said, "We'll talk about the freedom of speech." I said "No, we won't. You have no intention of discussing how my freedom of speech is being abridged."

And I walked out.

CNN will not accept or allow my earning 30 bucks a day from AdSense. Even this pittance kills them, so they assign this tool Ostrovsky to go after my advertisers, the handful that they are.

Do CNN advertisers know that this is where their ad dollars are going, to destroying Americans and their livelihoods?

The post CNN ambushes me in attempt to silence dissent appeared first on WND.

This action is emblematic of the left: Silence your opponents, as all totalitarians do.

Here is where the euphemistically named "Free Speech Movement" has taken us: not to free speech at all, but to oppression and tyranny. This is an outrageous violation of our First Amendment rights. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely to protect speech that was offensive to some in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.

Our latest ad merely calls for support of President Donald Trump's immigration ban, and it runs the names of refugees into the United States who have been convicted of Islamic terror-related crimes. We intend to run it in sanctuary cities across America where the freedom of speech has not yet been banned. Sadly, the list of cities where it has been banned is ever-increasing. New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Miami and Chicago have all banned "political" and "cause-related" advertising.

Every news report on the San Francisco transit free-speech ban blames me. Every news report runs photos of my ads only. See, for example, this article. No establishment media news report mentions that my ads were a response to vicious Islamic Jew-hating ads.

None of the news reports show the ugly, vicious ads that prompted me to run ad campaigns on San Francisco buses in the first place. One group that has run anti-Israel ads is "The American Muslims for Palestine," which ran an ad nationwide calling for "an end to Israeli apartheid and to unconditional American aid for Israel."

This repulsive, anti-Semitic campaign was nothing less than a Goebbels-style demonization of the Jews. I could not and did not let it go unanswered. Apartheid? Anne Bayefsky noted that "there were once an estimated 900,000 Jews" in the Muslim world, "but today there are less than a few thousand. They were given a choice: Die, convert or flee." That's apartheid. The slaughter of gays across the Muslim world: That's apartheid. The persecution of Christians across the Muslim world: That's apartheid. The prohibition of non-Muslims from even entering Mecca: That's apartheid. Muslims are freer in Israel than in any Muslim country.

The anti-Israel ads that have run all over the country use exactly the technique that Hitler's minions used. If you read the writings of Goebbels, the Nazi narrative was that they were the victims. They were the put-upon ones. That's how they sold annihilation. It's not surprising that Islamic supremacists would appropriate the propaganda methods of the Third Reich, as they partnered with Hitler and shared the same goal.

It's funny, but the very first time I saw one of these vicious, anti-Semitic ads in the New York subway system, before I had ever even imagined running an ad, I thought, how is that legal? How can they allow that Naziesque propaganda on the platform and trains of the New York subway system? It irked me, and it propelled me onto this road.

These anti-Semitic ads are a blood libel.

The SFMTA, WMATA, NYCTA or the transit systems in Chicago, Miami, Denver et al had a problem with them. But they banned political ads after I submitted ads. Our ads of truth made these quisling cretins curl and convulse in service to barbarians.

But there is a silver lining to this ban: The savages can't run their lies and their libel anymore. Their tactics in denying me my freedom of speech backfire against their own allies. Good.

The post Now San Francisco wages brutal war on free speech appeared first on WND.

Idaho's KMVT reported Wednesday that "the case has been resolved" as the three juvenile perpetrators "pleaded guilty in the sexually [sic] assault case of a 5-year-old Twin Falls girl." The article says that "the family and attorney of the family of the 5-year-old victim approved the settlements reached in each of the three cases." It quotes prosecuting attorney Grant Loebs: "I am pleased we resolved this case and received a result which was approved and agreed upon by the victim's family and attorney. This continues to be a serious and sad case, but this is a proper resolution."

Reality is different. Lacy Peterson, the victim's mother, told me: "It isn't a done deal. They're trying to play it out to be, but it's not over at all. When we go to sentencing they can get more charges. And we are allowed to speak as victims, and so I am praying that they get a huge sentencing." That will be in about three weeks.

Lacy continued: "Our lawyer talked to the prosecutor, and we did not say that we were OK with it. … We will be able to speak at the next hearing, and they will be showing the video to the judge." One of the perpetrators filmed the rape and gleefully showed part of the video to Levi, the poor girl's father.

In the courtroom on Tuesday, however, one of the perpetrators' fathers was energetically claiming victim status. Lacy told me: "What happened today was a huge mess. The father fainted, and we had to stop court for a bit so the ambulance can come get him. It was so crazy and hectic." He should have fainted when he heard what his son did. Instead, he gave him a high five. Tuesday, however, his attempt to garner pity failed. Said Lacy: "But we continued on without him. Supposedly he has medical problems."

All this happened against the backdrop of still more favoritism toward the perpetrators. Lacy stated: "It makes me so angry because my mom and Levi's mom aren't even allowed in the courtroom, but they can have family and friends there. That is so unjust. I still can't believe there were so many different women at every hearing who claimed to be the mom one time, and then she's a family friend the next time."

At the hearing, the three older rapists were charged with double felonies, and the youngest boy with one felony. They were charged with "sexual lewd conduct" (SLC), which is essentially the same as rape. Loebs explained that this newly invented charge "fits better than rape." They didn't want to call what the boys did rape, even though it was according to Idaho law. Why not? Did someone tell them not to allow these Muslim migrants to be guilty of rape? Who is protecting them, and why?

The KMVT article quotes the family's attorney, Mark Guerry: "For the record we did in fact approve the resolution of the criminal juvenile plea agreements. That should not be construed to mean the parents of the little 5-year-old victim are completely and fully satisfied with the outcome of the cases. The parents did, however, wish to finally see some kind of resolution of these cases, which have languished in the courts since June 2016. Furthermore, the truth of the matter is nothing will ever restore the lost innocence and vanished happiness of this little 5-year-old girl who was viciously sexually assaulted."

Several weeks ago, Guerry told me: "As you know, Levi and Lacy's supporters, and Levi and Lacy by association, have been treated like the wrongdoers and liars, having been repeatedly been referred to as 'not constrained by the truth' by Grant Loebs."

At the beginning of this case, prosecutor Loebs lied outright when he said, "There was no knife involved; there was no gang rape." In fact, there was a knife involved, and there was gang rape. Why are Loebs and other law enforcement and government officials so desperate to cover up the facts of this case?

Guerry went on to explain how the victim's family and their supporters are being pressured in part because the Chobani yogurt company operates locally:

In January, a former Idaho Supreme Court justice, Jim Jones, yet another mainstream Idaho Republican, browbeat the locals who have stood up to the officials at the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) bureau, Grant Loebs, Twin Falls Police Chief Craig Kingsbury, etc., for hurting businesses like Chobani with their activism. The Twin Falls Times-News gleefully reported that Jones' remarks at the Rotary Club meeting where this happened "were met with nods of approval from club members."

There was not one single word in the story about the little girl, or the horrific sexual assault she endured. Absolutely disgusting. These people are proving the suspicions of many Democrats and Independents around here, that is, that Republicans don't seem to care about anything but business profits, i.e., money.

Lacy commented: "We have been treated horribly. The way I feel, our case has been pushed under the rug and soon to be forgotten about. Since June we moved into a house that we can hardly even afford. We were totally fine in the apartments until now."

They had to move because of ongoing harassment from the perpetrators' families. In July 2016, according to a family member of the victim, at 11:30 at night, the mother of the Iraqi attacker was outside her house, in earnest conversation with an unidentified man. The attacker's mother frequently pointed to the victim's house. Thoroughly unnerved, the victim's family fled to a hotel to sleep.

Lacy added: "I don't think it's fair that us Americans get to struggle and work hard and live paycheck-to-paycheck and pray to make bills. And the refugees get to have everything handed to them."

That's what this is all about: making sure that Americans don't start to realize what is happening and oppose the refugee influx. Idaho officials seem willing to sacrifice this girl's well-being for that goal – to their everlasting shame.

The post Will victim of 'refugee' rapists ever get real justice? appeared first on WND.

Firstly I want to say thank you so much for all your hard work and honest reporting, I am a big fan.

My name is Bernadette Boudreault and I admin numerous popular anti-Trudeau/Liberal Facebook pages here in Canada. Our pages are being deleted by Facebook with no reasons given, but now even our members are being censored. In December the two top popular pages in Canada called "Justin Trudeau Not" and my page "Justin Trudeau is an Idiot" were both unpublished, we have had to start all over, losing over 40,000 members. When my page was deleted we were post reaching into the millions every week.

Over the last few weeks I have been having problems leaving comments on many of my other pages. In the beginning I just thought it was me and maybe my computer was freezing. Now I know this is not the case. A lot of members have now been posting on many different pages on which they too are having problems leaving comments. This intentional technical issue is hurting our post reach as many members frustrated by not being allowed to comment just give up. Just this morning on another page I admin called "I hate Justin Trudeau" a member posted that she was having the same issue. In just over an hour over 50 other members have said they are experiencing the same problems. We are being censored … both pages and now our members. This is only happening on anti-Trudeau sites and this is really happening.

Now you can't even criticize leftist political figures? This has to stop, and our lawsuit means to stop it. We are challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, thereby permitting these social-media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge.

In order for us to sue Facebook (which is our intent), we first need to knock out this federal immunity statute. Our lawsuit is therefore against the federal government. We knock out the immunity, and then we can sue Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

In response, the Justice Department simply tried to dodge the issue, saying we were suing the wrong entity. But we aren't: As everyone knows, the only reason social media can discriminate against us the way they do is because of the immunity granted by the federal government.

The DOJ also argued that there was no constitutional violation because the harm caused (the censorship) was by a private actor (social media). That is generally true, but the Supreme Court has declared that the government is responsible when it enacts laws that change the legal relationship between two groups, including the selective withdrawal from one group of legal protections against private acts, regardless of whether the private acts can be attributed to the government – and that is precisely the situation here.

We will pursue this to the Supreme Court if we have to. This issue is too important.

For years I have documented the outrageous bias of Facebook's speech policies. These are notoriously one-sided – those who oppose jihad terror, support Israel and stand against the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth (Shariah) have been systematically blocked and banned. Just last June, Facebook took down my page and blocked me after a devout Muslim opened fire on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Facebook said they took down my page because of their rule against "hateful, obscene, or threatening" content.

But it is not hateful, obscene, or threatening to oppose jihad terror such as we saw in Orlando and in so many other places. Truth is not hateful or obscene. What is hateful, obscene and threatening is that Facebook is moving to silence everyone who speaks honestly about the motivating ideology behind such attacks. To get at Facebook and the other social media giants, we have to challenge the government statute first.

The left needs to handicap and shut down the opposition because its positions do not stand up to refutation and cogent analysis. That's why the "liberals" are working hard to shut down free speech. Liberal, indeed. But we will continue to fight them every step of the way.

The post Facebook's censoring of truth appeared first on WND.

Yushau Sodiq's faculty page on the TCU website says that he "earned his B.A. degree in Islamic Studies in 1976 and his M.A degree in Islamic law in 1979 from the University of Medina, Saudi Arabia." After earning his Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from Temple University in Philadelphia, he "taught Islamic courses at the University of Sokoto, Nigeria from 1080 [sic]-1983."

Medina, Saudi Arabia, and Sokoto, Nigeria: two hotbeds of jihad terror recruitment and activity. Non-Muslims aren't even allowed to enter the Prophet's Mosque and other areas of central Medina. Did professor Sodiq pick up his Islamic supremacism and contempt for infidel religious observances there?

Sodiq's syllabus for his "Understanding Diverse Faith Communities" states that the course is meant "to enable our students comprehend the meanings and nature of world religions" and "to interact with religious communities and try to understand why they are doing what they are doing. Our study in this class is not to validate any specific religion but to comprehend many of them." Yet while the class discusses Islam, Judaism, African traditional religions and Buddhism (apparently Sodiq assumes that students at Texas Christian University know all they need to know about Christianity already), Sodiq's syllabus plans for five sessions on Islam, plus two more on "The Kite Runner," a novel about Muslims in Afghanistan, and another for the mosque visit, for a total of eight on Islam and related themes. Meanwhile, only four class sessions are planned on Buddhism, three on Judaism and two on African traditional religions.

Regarding the mosque visit, the syllabus contains this information: "A visit to a Mosque (Muslim mosque) is on Friday, April 14, 2017, at 5:45 p.m. Mark your calendar. Our intention is to understand the ritual and tradition of other religions in their own context. We will visit the mosque in group. A quiz on the mosque visit will be on April 18, 2017. We will assemble at the back of Beasley Hall packing lot at 5:30 p.m. Every student is expected to attend this service. This visit is part of your participation in class. Many other students from our department will join us. It is a religious experience visit. No student is required to participate in mosque's service during our visit. If you will not be able to attend the mosque with the group, please let me know in advance by March 30, 2017."

In another section, Sodiq implies that the visit has a proselytizing intent as he writes: "You can also invite your friends to join in this visit" – and ominously, "If you do not attend the mosque, you will not be able to do the quiz and as you know, there is not make-up for quizzes. The visit will take only one and one-half hours. There we'll be addressed by the leader of the Muslim community and we'll watch the sunset prayer."

The syllabus does not explain why there is no visit to a synagogue, church, Buddhist temple, or any other house of worship – only to a mosque. Sodiq also requires that students complete a journal entry on "Islamophobia." He asks for no journal entry on anti-Semitism or prejudice or hatred against any other group.

What is most disturbing about all this is the threat that lies behind it. The people who passed this information on to me refused to be identified because they were certain there would be reprisals if their identities were known. Just as disturbing as that is the fact that in contemporary American academia, Yushau Sodiq's university class of thinly veiled Islamic proselytizing isn't unusual at all. It's all too common.

The post Prof mandates students visit mosque on Good Friday appeared first on WND.

The New York Post reported that "Seweid had been having problems with her strict Muslim Egyptian family in North New Hyde Park because she is becoming 'Westernized,' one source said. Those problems were aggravated when they learned she was dating a Catholic, the source said." Yasmin should be punished for her hate crime hoax, but there is a larger story here that is being ignored by mainstream media: the terror of devout Muslim households.

Because she has a non-Muslim boyfriend, Yasmin is in real danger from her father, her mosque and devout members of ummah. Yasmin Seweid was so afraid of her own family that she preferred to face jail than risk being the recipient of violent treatment from her "strict Muslim parents." And it's clear she had good reason: They shaved her head. A news photo shows Yasmin's brother Abdoul gripping her in a chokehold.

Ironically, New York Newsday reported police charges against Abdoul from a few years ago. Allegedly, Abdoul Seweid and his friends were involved in some serious criminal activity Abdoul tried to cover by blaming the involvement of "three unknown males." Maybe that gave Yasmin the idea for how she was supposedly attacked by the three "Trump supporters."

It could have been worse for Yasmin, and may still be. But Yasmin's sister wouldn't break rank, blaming the NYPD because they exposed the hoax. It's always this way. Amina and Sarah Said's brother aided and abetted their father in the cold-blooded execution of their two Texas Muslim teen sisters who merely wanted to live a freer life.

Aqsa Parvez, a Muslim girl in Mississauga, Ontario, lived in what can only be described as a homemade concentration camp before being murdered by her father and brother because she did not want to wear the hijab.

Rifqa Bary, an Ohio Muslim teen who converted out of Islam, was threatened with death by her father before she escaped to safety in Florida.

Bus ads and taxi ads sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative and offering help to these girls have been banned from running in numerous cities. It's an outrage: Authorities are consigning these girls to their fate and denying them the help that could save them.

The abject terror these young Muslims live with is a deep, dark secret. Fatima Abdullah was abused, beaten and sexually assaulted by family members. Her honor killing in Florida was classified as a suicide (by repeatedly hitting her head against a coffee table) because the Tampa Police Department feared Muslim reprisals – how does one commit suicide by banging one's head on a coffee table? Tampa Rescue said she looked as if she had been beaten.

According to neighbors, Fatima Abdullah had brought shame to her Muslim family because of her divorce. The family allegedly didn't allow her to return to their homeland in the Middle East. Sources close to the family say that they didn't even allow her to drive on her own, even though she had a license. She was the subject of numerous family arguments, and her brothers allegedly treated her horribly. There is a great deal more information on this here and here.

If Yasmin's sister really loves Yasmin, she should stop blaming the NYPD and help her to freedom. Yasmin Seweid is under severe threat – and she is just the kind of girl who we seek to help at the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI). We get help to Muslim girls who want to be free. At RefugeFromIslam.com, Yasmin can connect with other Muslims who have suffered under the boot of Islamic honor violence. And most importantly of all, she can get to safety.

Sara Yasin of BuzzFeed News asked on Twitter: "so, who is going to save muslim women from pam geller trying to save muslim women." How despicable. Apparently, Sara Yasin would rather see Yasmin end up like Noor al-Maleki, Amina Said, Sarah Said, Jessica Mokdad and other dead American Muslim girls than get my help.

Yasmin, if you're reading this, contact me at pamelageller@gmail.com. We will get you help.

The post Muslim hate-crime hoaxer is in danger -- from her family appeared first on WND.

Fiyaz Mughal has a notorious reputation in the counter-terror community. His group lost its government funding in the U.K. back in 2013 for lying about anti-Muslim hate crimes. Mughal is, in his way, just as destructive as the Muslim fighters who drop bombs to conquer infidels and impose Shariah. Mughal is dropping bombs in the information battle-space disarming and deceiving the kuffar.

In his Times of Israel column, he whines:

Geller seems to believe that I was instrumental in influencing a banning order being attached to her which is ludicrous since a number of organisations objected to her entry into the UK in 2013, where she was to give a speech shortly after the brutal terrorist murder of Lee Rigby. No doubt that speech would have contained toxic references to Islam and Muslims being a threat to Western society which is the general drift of her narrative. Whatever, you may think of this position, and I hope that it would raise alarm bells, Geller plays the "freedom" vs. "Islamic tyranny" line like an orchestra in full swing. However, a deeper look at her past comments show more to her than meets the eye.

Truth is now ludicrous. I didn't allege that Mughal was involved; that was clear from the documents released under the duty of candor when we were challenging our ban. The documents were redacted to conceal who was behind the ban, but their black marker missed one reference, revealing that one of the groups complaining about us was Faith Matters. Faith Matters was founded by none other than Fiyaz Mughal.

Mughal adds:

Take for example, her belief that the Srebrenica massacre in 1995 was a hoax. In fact, she made these claims repeatedly. More bizarrely, she claims that Serbia was not a threat to its neighbours and that the Clinton attack on Serbia in 1999 was "in order to pave the way for an Islamic state in the heart of Europe – Kosovo."

It did.

Just to add insult to grave injury, in this article she stated: "The facts stand. Seven to eight thousand slaughter (in Srebrenica) is not even remotely possible. 3,000 Muslim troops were redeployed without their families being told, (there is Muslim confirmations of this). No one 'saw' a single atrocity. And 38,000 out of 40,000 survived the 'genocide.'"

By adding the quotes to "genocide" it was pretty clear that she was disputing that Srebrenica was a genocide and she was effectively, a genocide denier. This in contrast with the fact that our previous Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon David Cameron MP had financially supported Srebrenica memorial day as a national event in the UK, precisely to mark the genocide."

Here's a good piece exposing the continuing Islamic myth behind the Srebrenica narrative. It all began with a big lie. Clearly, both sides committed ugly atrocities – it's war, that's what happens. Little of the terror the Bosnians wrought on the Serbs is ever referenced. And yes, in that war, I sided with the Serbs. But to call a couple of hundred or even a couple thousand of deaths a genocide is a lie. The Muslim world refuses to call the Armenian holocaust a "genocide," and there were millions of victims. Many Muslim world leaders deny the holocaust was a genocide, despite the extermination of over half the global Jewish population. So Mughal's faux outrage is laughable. Nor have I hard him decry the ongoing genocide of millions of Christians in the Middle East in jihad wars.

Or take the fact that Geller supports "alt-right media," sources of media that are run by people with far right ideologies. Or take the fact that she used the term "House Jew" and stated that Obama is an anti-Semite and a "Jihadi" in the White House. Or take the fact that she smeared the well respected and well run Community Security Trust which provides anti-Semitic hate incident third party services to Jewish communities, as well as much needed safety to Jewish institutions across England.

In this article in 2009 Geller stated: "Much like the Jewish councils of World War II Germany that helped assist in what would become the extermination of the Jews, we are witnessing Jewish groups like the CST aiding and abetting Islamic jihad and Islamic anti-Semitism."

They are.

In fact, more recently in 2016, Geller decided to once again attack one of the most respected hate crime organisation in the United Kingdom – the Community Security Trust. She stated: "This poll which shows a vicious Jew hatred among Muslims in the UK. This despite the subservience and craven cowardice of UK Jewish leadership. Jewish 'leadership' in the UK (including the Community Security Trust quoted here) supported my ban in the UK. My opposition to jihad and sharia, and my unwavering support of Israel led to my ban and these cretins supported it. Despite their grovelling, look at the poll results."

Mughal pats the CST on the head like the good little doggie they are. They are weak and cowed, having long abandoned their true role of standing in defense of the Jewish people. These organizations are a pox on our house, standing by while Jew-hatred explodes. CST stands with the haters, throwing brave Jews who stand up against it under the bus, much the way they did during our ban. Not only did they stay silent – they signed off on the ban.

You see, it is not the fact that Geller ardently supports Israel that led to her ban and nor should it ever be the case. A simple and cursory look and review of her comments clearly show, without even referencing her anti-Muslim bigotry, that she was "not conducive to the public good" in the UK as the then Home Secretary deemed her to be. If anything, genocide deniers and those calling people "House Jews" and supportive of far right media sources should stay where they are – in her case in the United States.

"Far right": the leftist/Islamic dysphemism for pro-freedom voices. In reality, the fact that I was banned for being pro-Israel is quite clear from this document we received in our duty of candor request:

Mughal is, as has often been noted, nothing more than a mendacious grievance-mongering taqiyya artist.

The post Jewish leftists blacklist me from Times of Israel appeared first on WND.

PART I: Last week, Yasmin Seweid, a New York Muslim girl, claimed on Facebook that "three white racists" (not only is Islam not a race, but she looks white) "yelled such disgusting slurs at me, I was so helpless and felt defenseless." "Look, it's a f--king terrorist." They were, of course, "Trump supporters," too. This allegedly happened on a full subway car. There is no video, no audio, no proof. Just her claims. Proof? Who needs proof? Muslims know that their claims of "Islamophobia" run without challenge or investigation.

Seweid, a reported business major at Baruch College in the Gramercy Park neighborhood, told police she was attacked Thursday, Dec. 1, in the 23rd Street subway station near her school by a trio of white, male 20-somethings who shouted "Donald Trump!" and tried to remove her hijab.

It was, of course, front-page news in America and across the world. Dead victims of jihad terror don't get this kind of press.

Yasmin Seweid filed a police report. Since her phone was dying, she wasn't able to call her family for help until she managed to get herself to Penn Station and find a phone charging station. Seweid called her father and he came to pick her up. The next day, Seweid sat down with police to look over some surveillance video so that she could identify the men that allegedly attacked her, this according to her father. Police still haven't been able to locate the three men whom Seweid says were involved in the attack.

No one on the train helped her? And then she didn't immediately tell law enforcement or anyone on the platform at Penn Station? This is impossible to believe. Penn Station is teeming with cops. I know, I am there all the time.

No one on the subway car filmed it? Even more impossible to believe in this day and age. And she couldn't identify anyone on the surveillance video (although I wouldn't put it past her to identify and accuse innocent men).

And she didn't call her family because "her phone was dying." I call BS.

But enemedia tools respond as we (and she) expected.

New Yorkers (the real victims of such hoaxers), too:

Seweid's neighbors in Hyde Park felt terrible after hearing what happened, and many have expressed concern for the teen.

"I felt terrible so I went and bought her a bouquet of flowers and wrote a letter to her. They are wonderful people, they really are. She is a sweetheart," said neighbor Carol Zanzonico (more here).

PART II: On Saturday it is reported that Seweid, alleged victim of "verbal abused" by Trump "Islamophobes," disappears. She is missing. Perhaps her story started falling apart. Now the family gets in on the act. The father reports her missing. Newspapers and broadcast media swarm yet again. Not just here in America. It's worldwide news. Australia's News. com.Au ran a story entitled "Muslim teen missing after racial harassment on New York subway."

#LovingtheLimelight.

Police said she was last seen wearing a black jacket, black head scarf, black yoga pants and a blue sweater and was carrying a bag containing clothing. Detectives ask anyone with information to call the Nassau County Police Department Missing Persons Squad on 516-573-7347 or call 911.

PART III: Then on Sunday, Yasmin Seweid quietly and without comment miraculously reappears, as in never mind.

NY Post: The 18-year-old Baruch College student who was reported missing a week after she claimed she was the victim of anti-Muslim harassment has been found, Nassau police said.

Yasmin Seweid, of New Hyde Park, whose father reported her missing Thursday, was located on Friday night, a police spokesman said. Detail of her absence were not immediately available. [emphasis added]

The NYPD is still searching for three white men in their 20s who allegedly called the teen a " f–king terrorist" and grabbed her hijab on an uptown 6 train on Dec. 1.

Color me skeptical, but the whole thing stinks, like Fulton's fish market.

Seweid had claimed:

"They kept saying, 'you don't belong here, get out of this country, go back to your country,' and finally they came really close and they were like, 'take that rag off your head."

Oh, and always the same hoax lines, "go back to your country," just like Shaima Alawadi, who was honor-murdered by her family. They claimed it was an "Islamophobe" who left a note that said, "go back to your country."

Yasmin Seweid's story has more holes than Swiss cheese. Where did she go missing? Where was she? Did the enemedia even ask? Will the media follow up? When pigs fly.
