9/11, GWOT, Osama & Hamza Killed


By John R. Houk
© August 1, 2019

Way back on September 11, 2001 Osama bin Laden headed the Islamic terrorist organization responsible for killing 2,977 people instantaneously in New York City, the Pentagon building, Shanksville PA airline crash and the passenger victims on three other flights.

Art Moore reported in September 2018:

More than 2,000 first responders have died from diseases related to the toxic fumes and dust at Ground Zero in New York City.

Thousands more, perhaps as many as 10,000 people, have been diagnosed with 9/11-related diseases such as cancer and severe respiratory disease.

The Daily Wire in September 2018 used some USA Today statistics to report:

• In 2017, 23 current or former members of the New York City Police Department died of 9/11-related diseases. That's the same number of NYPD members that perished on Sept. 11, 2001.

• The FDNY lost a stunning 343 members on Sept. 11, 2001. Since then, line-of-duty deaths linked to 9/11 are approaching 180, now well over half lost on the day of the attacks. So many have died since the attacks that last year, a new tablet had to be added to the Hall of Heroes at 1 Police Plaza to accommodate all the names of the fallen.

• One FBI agent was reported killed in Sept. 11, 2001, attacks; as of this August, the FBI reports a death toll of 15 from cancers linked to toxic exposure during the subsequent investigation and cleanup.

• According to John Feal, founder of the Feal Good Foundation that supports 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, there have been more losses so far this year – 163 – than in any year since he started tabulating them in 2008."

American-hating Muslims followed the dictates of their revered writings to make the entire world submit to Islam or kill those who refuse to submit led to nearly 3,000 immediate deaths on American soil. Those attacks way back in 2001 are still killing Americans in 2019. That day on a September morning made Roosevelt’s day that would live in infamy – where “2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians” not as infamous in comparison to 9/11. I wonder how many Americans continued to die from the affects of that Pearl Harbor attack for years to come – even after WWII. Now 65,811,500 died as a result of WWII, all those millions died to combat or massacre scenarios. Not one (excluding the Pearl deaths) of those WWII millions died from the post-affects of the Pearl Harbor attack at least not in the same way FIRST RESPONDERS from 9/11 are still dying today.

THANK GOD a significant majority in Congress passed and President Trump signed September 11th Victim Compensation Fund on July 29.

According to Brown University’s Watson Institute, American and Allied troops that have “ died fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had passed 6,900 at the end of 2018.” Those numbers relate to 17 years of an eighteen year old war still happening. WHY?

Because an Islamic Supremacist from Saudi Arabia in his perceived safe have in Afghanistan decided to kill people on American soil for the glory of the moon-deity turned into a monotheistic god called Allah. It is my suspicion more Muslims who may or may not publicly agree with the global dictates of Islam shouted Allahu Akbar on 9/11.

So yes, as what Leftists, Multiculturalists and far too many Muslims would guess by now, I am not very friendly toward any part of the ideology inherent in Islam thus calling me with their epithet of Islamophobe.

As such, I was quite pleased with one thing accomplished in the Obama Administration: The demise of the perfidious instigator of this current war on terrorism, specifically Navy SEALS killing Osama bin Laden in his Pakistan hideout in an Abbottabad compound on May 2, 2011. Just in case you are not privy to the location of the Abbottabad compound, it was remarkably close to a Pakistani elite military academy leading many - including myself - to believe Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was hiding bin Laden from the USA.

Even though Afghanistan is hardly a unified nation. It is my humble opinion America should began pulling out of Afghanistan after the 9/11 perpetrator faced American justice. I have no doubt the reason the U.S. Military has maintained its Afghan presence because of the common belief the still powerful Taliban would ultimately reassert control of the nation enforcing Islam’s draconian Sharia Law brutalizing all who do not submit to said Islamic Sharia. Also Afghanistan would again become a haven for globalist-Caliphate-minded Islamic terrorists taking potshots not only at American and Israeli interests but toward anything portraying Western Culture. Europe’s idiotic Multiculturalist policy has already disrupted the European rule of law towards trying to add incompatible Islam, think how much worse for those folks with an Afghan protected terrorist haven aimed at the West.

At any rate, I had heard Al Qaeda had been grooming Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden to take the reigns of terrorist leadership. From a 1600Daily.com alert I have learned that Hamza bin Laden has been killed. Al Qaeda will have to look for another loony Muslim for charismatic leadership.

The media outlets reporting Hamza’s death are mum on the details of the how, where and when. I’ve only found the BBC willing to report Hamza’s death was accomplished by a U.S. airstrike. My guess details may be lacking because an actual body hasn’t been spotted and perhaps only distant drone video footage has led to the assumption of death.

Hamza Bin Laden, the son of al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, died in an air strike, US media outlets report, citing intelligence officials. The place and date of death were unclear. The Pentagon did not comment. Bin Laden, thought to be aged about 30, had released audio and video messages calling for attacks on the US and other countries. As recently as February, the US government offered $1m (£825,000) for information leading to his capture.

To date, time will tell if Hamza survived an airstrike or died ending Islamic terrorist aspirations.

So far Heavy.com is the best run-down on profiling Hamza bin Laden. Below is that cross post.

Hamza bin Laden Dead: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know


Central Intelligence Agency -  Hamza bin Laden pictured in a video released by the CIA in 2018.

Updated Jul 31, 2019 at 4:33pm

Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, is dead, NBC News reported on July 31. Hamza had been expected to take over as al Qaeda leader. He was 30 years old. His death has not been officially confirmed. The NBC report was later confirmed by the New York Times.

Hamza bin Laden is one of Osama bin Laden’s living wives, Khairiah Sabar. Sabar was present during the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound that resulted in the death of the 9/11 mastermind. Hamza was at a training camp at the time of the raid. The current leader of al Qaeda is Egyptian eye surgeon Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The NBC report says that Hamza’s death was confirmed by three U.S. officials. The New York Times reports that the U.S. was involved in Hamza’s death. In February 2019, the CIA offered a $1 million reward for information regarding Hamza’s whereabouts.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Hamza Was Born to a Child Psychologist Mother in Saudi Arabia in 1989


[Posted by CNN
Published on Aug 14, 2015]

The Associated Press reported in March 2019 that Saudi Arabia, where Hamza was born, in the city of Jeddah in 1989, had revoked his citizenship. That AP article identified Hamza’s mother a child psychologist who was also from Jeddah. Jon Gambrell wrote, “She gave birth to Hamza, their only child together, as al-Qaida took its first, tentative steps toward the Sept. 11 attacks.”

FBI Hamza bin Laden’s wanted poster.

Hamza’s latest wanted poster from the FBI says that he was suspected to be in either Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, or Iran. The poster concludes with the lines, “Hamza bin Laden is wanted for questioning in connection with his membership in the Al Qaeda organization and his public declarations threatening the security of the United States.”

2. Hamza Is Said to Have Been Extremely Popular Among Rank-and-File Jihadis


[Posted by BBC News
Published on Mar 1, 2019]

Former FBI agent Ali Soufan wrote in September 2017 that “Hamza is being prepared for a leadership role in the organization his father founded. The article said that Hamza was looked upon fondly by “rank-and-file” jihadis. Soufan added that Hamza was seen as a new figure who could unite jihadis across the world due to the collapse of ISIS. The article’s title referred to Hamza as being “al Qaeda’s Leader in Waiting.”

Those writings were echoed by Professor Fawaz Gerges told the BBC in August 2017 that Hamza was “the new face of al-Qaeda – he is charismatic, he is very popular with the rank and file. He was his father’s favorite son – everyone, even for the last ten years, has been talking about Hamza succeeding his father.”

3. Hamza Is Rumored to Have Married to the Daughters of Al Qaeda Leaders


[Posted by CBS News
Published on Aug 4, 2018]

The FBI said in 2018 that Hamza had married the daughter of Al Qaeda senior leader Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, aka Abu Muhammad al Masri. al Masri has been indicted for his involvement in the bombings of the United States Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

The Guardian reported in August 2018 that Hamza was also married to the daughter of Mohammed Atta. Atta is considered to have been the lead hijacker on 9/11. Hamza’s uncles, Ahmad and Hassan al-Attas told the newspaper that their nephew had taken a senior role within Al Qaeda and was planning revenge on the U.S. for the death of his father in 2011. Ahmad said in the interview, “We have heard he has married the daughter of Mohammed Atta. We’re not sure where he is, but it could be Afghanistan.”

4. Al Qaeda Released Audio in 2016 in Which Hamza Called for War Against Israel & the U.S.


The SITE Intelligence Group published audio in 2016 that had been released by al Qaeda. Hamza could be heard calling for war against Israel and U.S.


[Posted by Newsy
Published on Jul 10, 2016]

The act of promoting Hamza was an attempt to capitalize on the 30-year-old’s last name. Security analyst Peter Bergen told CNN at the time, “Obviously, he has the family name. He’s now playing a propaganda role, and he’s a lot younger than some of the other leaders of al Qaeda, in their 50s or their 60s.” In 2008, the Daily Telegraph reported that Hamza made similar calls for war against the United Kingdom.

5. Hamza bin Laden Was Originally Reported to Have Been Killed in the 2011 Raid that Killed His Father


Published on Mar 1, 2019]

In the confusing aftermath following the SEAL Team 6 raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in May 2011, the New York Times reported that one of those killed in the firefight was Hamza bin Laden.

On May 6, three days after the raid, the Guardian reported that Hamza’s remains had been removed from the compound. By May 11, the Daily Beast was reporting that Pakistani authorities were saying that Hamza had not been at the compound at the time of the raid and was considered to be on the run.

Oklahoma: Saudi Muslim Immigrant Who Attended al Qaeda Training Camp Arrested



I live in Oklahoma, so this concerns me! Think of it. A trained Muslim terrorist from Saudi Arabia and trained at an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan came to the USA as a husband to a Muslim woman who gained a student visa under the Obama Administration. How many other crazy Muslim terrorists did Obama allow into America?

Oklahoma: Saudi Muslim Immigrant Who Attended al Qaeda Training Camp Arrested

FEBRUARY 7, 2018




WASHINGTON — A Saudi immigrant who attended Al Qaeda’s most notorious training camp was arrested on a charge of lying to the F.B.I. and on two counts of visa fraud in Oklahoma, where he had been living for years with his family, federal law enforcement officials announced Tuesday.

The F.B.I. discovered the man, Naif Abdulaziz M. Alfallaj, only recently, when the authorities matched his 15 fingerprints to those taken from a document captured in Afghanistan, the officials said. The document was a five-page application for the Farooq camp, where four of the Sept. 11 hijackers trained.

He apparently filled out the application in September 2000, when he was a teenager, the officials said, well after Al Qaeda had made its intentions of attacking the United States and its allies known to the world. Anyone who tried to join the camp would have known that Al Qaeda was a terrorist organization, law enforcement officials said. The United States military recovered the document at a Qaeda safe house in Afghanistan in December 2001, prosecutors said, who added that the document had an emergency contact for Mr. Alfallaj’s father in Saudi Arabia.

Typically people who applied to the camp filled out what was known as a “mujahedeen data form.” They needed an invitation to join the camp and a reference from someone known and trusted by Al Qaeda. Trainees learned how to use weapons and explosives at the camp. After training, camp attendees fought with Al Qaeda or the Taliban in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden and his top deputies frequently visited the camp.

Mr. Alfallaj, 34, used a fraudulent visa to take private flying lessons in October 2016 in Oklahoma, according to federal court records. Noncitizens are required to submit fingerprints as part of the licensing process. The Federal Aviation Administration revoked his license last year after the F.B.I. made the discovery.

Mr. Alfallaj was arrested Monday and made an initial appearance in federal court in Oklahoma City. A message left with a public defender assigned to represent Mr. Alfallaj was not immediately returned.

Mr. Alfallaj, who is from Riyadh, came to the United States in late 2011 on a nonimmigrant visa based on his wife’s status as a foreign student. He had been living in Weatherford, Okla., about 70 miles west of Oklahoma City, the authorities said. Prosecutors say that he falsely answered questions on his visa application, including about whether he had supported terrorists. The F.B.I. said he lied about whether he had contacts with anyone from a terrorist group when agents interviewed him in December. The next month, Mr. Alfallaj confirmed that the telephone number found on the application belonged to his father, the F.B.I. said.

The F.B.I. had been watching him for several months and had been trying [to] determine whether Mr. Alfallaj was involved in terrorist activity in the United States.

The case of Mr. Alfallaj is similar to one brought in 2011 against two Iraqi men who were arrested in Bowling Green, Ky., after they had entered the United States. The F.B.I. discovered the men after finding fingerprints on explosive devices that had been used to attack American soldiers in Iraq. The two men were later convicted of terrorism charges and sentenced to life in prison.

After the men were discovered, the F.B.I. deployed hundreds of people to pull fingerprints off of improvised explosive devices stored at the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center, known around the bureau as the Bomb Library of America. Officials said a similar effort is underway to make sure other materials similar to the training camp application are examined.

In March 2017, the F.B.I. decided to go through the terrorist camp applications to determine whether any fingerprints could be identified as part of a renewed effort to identify possible terrorism suspects, federal court documents show. Seven months later, the F.B.I. matched the fingerprints taken from Mr. Alfallaj when he applied to become a pilot.

Mr. Alfallaj should never had been able to enter the country, said James W. McJunkin, the former head of counterterrorism at the F.B.I.

“I’d say there was a number of breakdowns going back to where the original intelligence was maintained and stored,” Mr. McJunkin said. “He should have been on a watch list.”

About Creeping Sharia

Creeping Sharia is a phenomenon scourge occurring across the free world. We’ll define it as “the slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law (sharia) in non-Muslim countries” (literal definitions below). Another frequently used term is ‘stealth jihad’.

To the general public, justifiably pre-occupied with work, family, pleasure, dreams, hopes, goals, and the stresses of each, “creeping sharia” goes mostly unnoticed. Until, that is, a particular event generates enough concern from those who focus on the “creep” that the general public takes notice. These singular events are sometimes less worrisome, but taken in whole, the uncoordinated yet explicit goal of the ummah and worldwide caliphate become obvious and alarming.

Hence the birth of the “Creeping Sharia” blog.

The blog will focus on “creeping sharia” in the United States however major events in other nations will also be highlighted. Many topics will be broached that may not appear related to sharia at first glance, but keep reading and we’ll connect the dots for you.

Learn more from Muslims, and former Muslims, in their own words, by watching the many valuable videos on our Creeping Sharia Videos pages (Page 1 and Page 2).

America Clearly Remembers September 11


Sixteen years ago, on September 11, 2001 Americans awoke to the morning news reporting a hijacked airline was flown into one of the then existing towers of the World Trade Center. Then if you were watching your TV a certainty was realized it was no accident when another airline flew into another tower of the World Trade Center.

All of a sudden the news was reporting other airlines had been hijacked and we later learned that one flew into the Pentagon and another mysteriously crashed in Pennsylvania.

Then the news reported that Islamic terrorists belonging to a group of terrorists called al Qaeda perpetrated the attack. Then we were told the Muslim in charge of these terrorists was Usama (aka Osama) bin Ladin. Bin Ladin was holed-up in a nation most Americans barely knew about called Afghanistan. If you did know about Afghanistan it was because you were a news hound in the ‘80s aware that our Intelligence services were helping a group of Muslims rebel against their Soviet controlled Communist government. The irony of our aid to these Muslim rebels: Usama bin Ladin – a Saudi national – learned or earned his chops fighting the Soviets propping up the Afghan Communist government.

Justin Smith has submitted a bit of a memorial which will give the reason why we are at war with Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan who too often sneak across the border to Pakistan to regroup.

America Clearly Remembers September 11
The Depths of Inhumanity

By Justin O. Smith
Sent 9/6/2017 12:36 PM

Sixteen long years have passed, since the clear blue sky above New York City exploded in a fiery inferno, toxic smoke and the stench of burning flesh and death on September 11, 2001, and for many, the memories of the murder of nearly three thousand Americans, friends and relatives and fellow countrymen, remains as fresh as this morning's dew. Those of us, who remember all too well, have the solemn obligation and duty to ensure America's future generations do not soon forget, that Islamic jihadists struck the single deadliest attack on U.S. soil by any foe since the War of 1812.


Two thousand nine-hundred and seventy-seven (CNN Library) Americans never could have imagined the horror they would soon face the morning of 9/11, as they headed to work at the Twin Towers. Their thoughts were filled with work, schedules, and perhaps returning home to play softball with their children or having dinner with a fiancee, or a husband or wife.

It was 8:46 a.m. (EST), when nineteen Muslim terrorists, following the edicts of the evil ideology of Islam and their false "prophet" Mohammed, flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Seventeen minutes later, 9:03 a.m., Muslim terrorists hit the South Tower with United Airlines Flight 175, and 34 minutes later American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

People jumped and fell from all four sides of both towers. There's no way of accurately telling how many people died this way, but the horror they experienced just before their deaths is unimaginable, as they plummeted towards the earth at 150 miles per hour.

The end to this heinous attack and the final blow arrived, with the horrifying news that United Airlines Flight 93 crashed, while its passengers bravely fought the terrorists. From start to finish, nearly an hour and a half had elapsed. By 10:03 a.m. nearly 3000 innocent Americans -- loved ones, friends and neighbors -- were dead.

Set aside any emotional impulse to block 9/11 from one's mind and embrace the gut-wrenching memory. Remember that America was attacked because of Her freedom and liberty and Her stand against oppression and tyranny worldwide. And there are many other things America should never forget, while we lower the flag, lay wreaths and ring bells in memory of the dead this September 11th.

Never forget, America received many warnings that a clash between Islam and the West, a clash of civilizations, was on the way, with tragedies like the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon and the U.S. Embassy in Kenya and the suicide bombing attack on the USS Cole. We were even informed ahead of 9/11 that it was coming soon.

The first real warning occurred on February 26, 1993, when Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, master bomb-designer, detonated a bomb under the World Trade Center, on orders from Al Qaeda's Blind Sheikh, that carved out a stories deep crater, injured a thousand people and killed six. The bomb was supposed to kill thousands by releasing a cyanide cloud, however, the explosion incinerated the gas.

Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheikh'

Never forget, since 9/11, at least thirteen Islamic inspired terrorist attacks have been carried out across America, by Muslims following Mohammed's "perfect" example, such as we witnessed in the Boston Bombing, the D.C. sniper murders, the shootings at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, San Bernardino, Chattanooga and several others. There have been numerous attacks by Muslims that the press refuses to call "terrorism", and there have been scores of terror plots and attempted terrorist acts foiled by the authorities.

Never Forget, the nineteen Muslim terrorists were able to attack America on September 11, 2001, because they were trained and funded by Wahhabist imams and members of the Saudi Royal Family, as revealed by the 9/11 Commission Report. And recall, that they also had some large degree of help from Shiite Muslims in the Islamic Republic of Iran, having spent significant time in Iran between October 2000 and February 2001.

The fires of that September morning burned for 100 days and moved America to seek an accounting from these Sons of Allah in wars we are still fighting. Islam is at war with Western civilization, Europe and America, just as Islam fought us (infidels and Westerners) under the Ottoman Empire, or a thousand years ago, now that Islam is in a new ascendancy.

America is still in an ongoing war against us, being waged by Islam, its imams and jihadi terrorists, who want to do the very same thing today that they did sixteen years ago, except on a grander scale.

The United States intelligence community acknowledges that all Al Qaeda and the Islamic State have had some recent, if limited, success in acquiring chemical weapons, like anthrax, VX nerve agents and ricin. More troubling and dangerous, they seek nuclear weapons, as Graham Allison notes in a policy brief for Harvard's Belfer Center; and though many may see any success towards this as unlikely, it is certainly not implausible, given Iran's, Pakistan's and Saudi Arabia's duplicitous, self-serving roles in the "war on terror".

No one ever envisioned jet airliners would be used as Muslim terrorist's instruments of death against us, however, September 11th brought a new visual reality, as officials sworn to protect America were forced to stare into a vast, smoking pit scooped out of lower Manhattan. As then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice repeatedly stated: "If you were in the White House that day ... every day since has been September twelfth. And your great fear is that it may be September tenth."

In his book 'The Field of Fight', former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Michael Flynn wrote: "We're in a world war, but very few Americans recognize it, and fewer still have any idea how to win it."

Americans have the agonizing images of the horrible and unimaginable calamity of September 11th seared into their minds and hearts. We never forgot the lives so brutally and callously cut short, the children who lost mothers and fathers, and the sorrow that followed; and, we clearly remember the depths of inhumanity to which these Islamic terrorists are willing to sink, as we ring the bells, read the names and honor our dead: September 11, 2001 forced many Americans to the understanding, that America must gather the strength and courage to stop Islam's violent ascendancy and expansion, at home and abroad, by driving their "holy warriors" into the ground, killing them, and even killing their families, until they grow weary of death and make war no more, if that is the only way to end their insanity.

The EU, Islam and Radicalization

Europeans face the same kind of propaganda of blaming the exposers of reality as Conservatives face in America from the Left on multiple issues, including gun control. After Leftist hater James Hodgkinson (See Also HERE) went to murder Republican members of Congress because he hated Trump, the Dem gun control rhetoric was amped up almost as viciously as the Hodgkinson shooter himself.

Fjordman (Peder Jensen) is the Counterjihad writer that European Multiculturalists love to hate. They would rather blame Fjordman (and other Counterjihad writers daring to risk EU hate-speech laws) for acts of Islamic terrorism rather than the Muslims devoted to the purist Islam of Muhammad and the revered writings of the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah.


Below is a Fjordman essay I found on the Internet European publication Snaphanen that takes a stark look at Muslim immigration to Europe and the troubles that immigration is causing.

JRH 6/15/17

The EU, Islam and Radicalization

By Fjordman
June 13, 2017 [SENESTE OPDATERING – Danish for LATEST UPDATE] 1806 KL [I’m guessing Danish for “o’clock” – HERE & HERE]

[Blog Editor: I must admit ignorance of European publications. Snaphanen has a “.dk” indicating Denmark but the news seems to focus on Sweden. And Fjordman is Norwegian. It’s all Nordic to me.]

One of the frustrating things about trying to warn against a gradually-developing threat is that many people choose to ignore the warnings until it is almost too late. Perhaps this is human nature. We prefer to ignore unpleasant realities as much as possible, and don’t believe a problem is real until we can see it with our own eyes. Some people will not believe it even then.

If seeing is believe, the time has now come to believe. The problems of mass migration and radical Islam have been developing for a long time. However, they have intensified recently and keep on escalating. 2015 may in hindsight be remembered as the year when illegal mass immigration was brought to the forefront of mass media attention. Migrants have been arriving illegally to the Western world for many years. Yet the flow of illegal migrants arriving in boats in the Mediterranean has drastically increased in 2015 compared to 2013 or 2014.

After some high-profile incidents in which migrants have drowned,[1] several European countries sent ships to pick up illegal immigrants in the Mediterranean and bring them to Europe. Critics argue that this is not a long-term solution. This sends out a signal to illegal immigrants and people smugglers that Europe is open to them. That will encourage even more of them to come. There is no reason to assume that the pressure of illegal immigration from the south will stop in the year 2016, 2017 or 2030. On the contrary, the ongoing population explosion in Africa and parts of the Middle East indicates that mass migration could further increase in scale in the coming years. The turmoil caused by militant Islam also continues.

Sometimes, bringing attention to a problem may trigger accusations that you caused the problem to exist in the first place. Jan Opsal is a Professor of Science of religion at the School of Mission and Theology (MHS) in Stavanger, Norway. He works with issues related to Christian-Muslim relations. In July 2015, Professor Opsal accused me personally of contributing to the rise of radical and militant Islam by spreading alleged “conspiracy theories” about Islam.[2] According to him, “Those who warn against Islam, through constant assertions that are not factual, will thereby contribute to increased radicalization of Islam.” Mr. Opsal further suggested that maybe one tenth of a percentage point of Muslims support the Islamic State (IS or ISIS).

With all due respect to the professor, the percentage of Muslims sympathizing with the militant Muslims of ISIS is a lot bigger than what he suggests. It could be 50 times as great, or even 100 to 200 times. Muslims supporting jihadists from groups such as ISIS or al-Qaida can now be found in cities and towns across the Western world. This is not a “conspiracy theory.” It is a fact. Just listen to the increasingly worried warnings of professional security services.

Furthermore, if you listen to the jihadists themselves, they legitimize their actions by referring to the Koran and other authoritative Islamic texts. Suggesting that critics of Islam helped cause the slave markets and massacres of ISIS is not merely wrong, it is absurd. This is like suggesting that critics of Communism caused the Gulag, or that critics of Nazism caused Auschwitz.

Next to Islamic theology, the primary cause of radicalization in Europe today is arguably the immigration policies promoted by Western political elites. EU governments have a duty to help the flood of migrants arriving in Europe and not cave in to “populist” demands to turn them back, European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker says.[3] In other words, EU leaders think native Europeans have a “duty” to settle large numbers of illegal immigrants from dysfunctional African and Muslim societies permanently in their nations. “Ministers, unlike citizens, have an obligation to act. We made proposals that went far, while still being modest given the scale of the problem,” Juncker said, referring to the proposals from the Commission, the executive arm or unelected “government” of the 28-nation EU. “We proposed a mandatory system to redistribute asylum seekers and people who need international protection, but the member states did not follow us,” he said. At a July 20, 2015 meeting in Brussels, EU justice and home affairs ministers agreed to relocate more than 32,250 Syrians, Eritreans, Iraqis and Somalis who had landed in Greece and Italy. The ministers also agreed to take in some 22,500 Syrian refugees currently living in camps outside the EU. Juncker said the EU would resume efforts to reach a higher target. “If we don’t get there on a voluntary basis, we will have to reconsider the Commission’s proposals,” the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg said. Mandatory distribution of asylum seekers among member states is still being seriously considered.

Illegal immigrants currently arrive on a daily basis, at a pace of hundreds of thousands annually. They use every trick imaginable to get into Europe, perceived as the promised land of milk and honey. Migrants hide in containers, storm trucks, occupy railway stations or use inflatable rubber dinghies. Some even try to swim to European-controlled territories,[4] or get smuggled in suitcases.[5] Meanwhile, there is rising opposition among ordinary Europeans to having their local communities forcibly changed by this influx.

It is interesting to note that some of the strongest opposition to mass immigration can be found in societies that have first-hand experience with Communist rule: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Eastern Germany and Baltic nations. Nationalists protested in Riga, Latvia’s capital, against their country’s taking in a planned 250 migrants under an EU resettlement scheme. “I don’t feel that EU institutions are listening to our concerns about taking in refugees from very different cultures,” said MP Raivis Dzintars.[6] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has repeatedly sounded the alarm. He warns that mass immigration constitutes a threat to European civilization.

EUSSR It has long been a joke to compare the European Union to the Soviet Union, an EUSSR. Some people wonder whether this is really a joke. The Russian intellectual and former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovksy believes the EU has certain structural similarities to the dictatorial Soviet Union.[7] The unelected and powerful European Commission resembles the Soviet Politburo, ruling hundreds of millions of people without their consent. While partly true, it should be mentioned that not even Communist states such as the Soviet Union championed mass immigration of Muslims and Africans on the scale which the EU is doing today. The USA does, however. The EU seems to have adopted harmful traits from both Cold War superpowers: The anti-democratic bureaucratic structure of the Soviet Union, and the mass immigration “diversity” policies of the USA.

It has become increasingly apparent that the EU in its present form is actively harmful to the long-term interests of native Europeans. The organization provides weak leadership. When it attempts any leadership at all, it usually leads Europe in the wrong direction. The handling of illegal immigration and radical Islam has been very poor, and dominated by Utopian ideas without basis in reality. Its handling of the euro crisis in Greece has not been impressive, either. With its increasingly authoritarian centralization, the EU robs national parliaments of their power and undermines its own popular legitimacy. The repeated attempts to force illegal immigrants on all of its member states trigger outright hostility. Its immigration policies contribute to the rising polarization of European societies.
Perhaps the EU will be remembered as the alleged “peace project” that once again plunged Europe into conflict.

Showing How Volatile Prof. Zufari’s Boyfriend Is

Yurki1000 left a lengthy comment at my NCCR blog on the post, “Polston Suspension Lifted – Prof Zufari Resigns”.

Adulteress Areej Zufari - Left & Adulterer Maher Ghawji - Right

The post Yurki1000 is commenting on delves into Areej Zufari’s radical Muslim ties. Her ties to Radical Islam should disqualify her to be a professor anywhere in the USA. Yurki1000 amplifies those Islamist ties. Even going as far as to indicate Zufari’s extramarital affair with boyfriend Maher Ghawji has all the appearance of an al Qaeda terrorist connection.

The blowing up of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia was an al Qaeda operation. This was a precursor to America’s 911 attack that has so drastically changed how Americans travel in the 21st century.


Did you know that the CIA had a huge part in the evolution of al Qaeda? The CIA probably felt it was looking after American National Interests in arming the Afghan Mujahideen to fight the then Soviet occupiers. The CIA failed to see the folly of collaborating with radical Muslims that not only hated atheistic Communism but also hated Western Values of a Christian Heritage and Liberty.

With that in mind, Yurki1000 points that one time CIA Director William Casey has been exposed for purposefully planting false information to mislead the American public.

Showing How Volatile Prof. Zufari’s Boyfriend Is

Thanks again for your in-depth article John.

A PICK

“ROSINE COLLIN GHAWJI vs. MAHER GHAWJI”

– MY HUSBAND’S SUPPORT OF TERRORISM:

[Blog Editor: Affidavit has 85 points. Yurki1000 excerpts points 12 – 25]

12. In 1991, Haitham Ghawji (“Haitham”), my Husband’s brother and the strangest and most dangerous of his associates, came to NYC with a friend. They also visited the New Jersey Mosque.

13. We moved to Memphis in 1992.

14. In 1993, I saw a letter addressed to my Husband and received phone calls for him from Haitham. Haitham wrote about his intentions to train for Jihad. The letter from Haitham was read and explained to me by Dr. Aljamolhi (who was a friend of ours). Dr. Aljamolhi explained the letter contained disturbing explanations and justifications for killing non-Muslims, provisions which encouraged my Husband to join the Jihad, and leave me, his non-Muslim wife. The letter also pressured my Husband to indoctrinate our sons in militant Islam, including preparing them to “die for Islam.”

15. When I confronted my Husband about the letter, he explained Jihad was going to war in order to die for Islam. He also told me that Haitham was going to go “with a bunch of friends and their leader to train for Jihad.”

16. My Husband flew to Canada immediately after receiving Haitham’s letter in order to meet with him and others before they had to leave for Bosnia. The letter, interpreted for me by Dr. Aljamolhi, totally changed my Husband’s attitude toward me and our two sons. I tried to reason with my husband and encouraged him to first talk with his brother on the phone in lieu of going to Canada. My husband got very upset with me and told me that I will never be able understand them and that he had to go. Things got very bad between us after that incident.

17. My Husband later told me that Haitham had left to join a Bosnian training camp to fight the Jihad. Haitham trained a man named Rafat Jamal Malawi, whose Memphis’ home was raided by the FBI on April 4, 2005; there they found a gruesome video tape of war casualties with Arabic text and voice over, weapons, ammunition, two pictures of Malawi holding a rocket launcher, and $34,000 in cash.

18. In 1993, Haitham called several times from Afghanistan, Turkesjistan, and Bosnia. He mostly talked about needing money.

19. In 1996, my Husband gave Haitham a $13,000.00 check to support his alleged computer business in Bosnia. I never saw that money again. I now know Haitham was working for a company called Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), which the U.S. Government closed because it financed terrorism. BIF’s founder Enaam Arnaout was later sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for financing terrorism. Arnout is also the last name of my mother in law.

20. Later that year, Haitham left Bosnia and came to Memphis to visit my Husband. I opposed the visit because I was aware of his brother’s negative feelings against my boys and I because we’re not Muslim. I felt had no choice because my Husband said that he would kick me out of the house if I did not allow his brother to visit us.

21. My Husband worked most of the time during Haitham’s visit. My relationship with my brother-in-law was polite, but distant. He was constantly on the phone calling his friends and reading stuff in Arabic. One night Haitham asked to watch the 11:00 news and did not say a word. He seemed to have been very disappointed about something. The next night, around 2:00 am or 3:00 am, I received a phone call from a man in Saudi Arabia requesting to speak immediately with Haitham. I objected because it was so late at night. The man was very nasty to me on the phone and ordered me to get Haitham immediately.

22. The next day, Haitham asked again to watch the 11:00 o’clock news. When breaking news was reported about the bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, he jumped to his feet and screamed, “WE GOT THEM.” I asked him, “What?” because I was not paying much attention to the news.

23. He then said, “The Americans, we got them. They think they are going to rule the world, but they do not know what it is to have a war on their own soil, but pretty soon they will.”

24. When I looked closely at the bombing described on the TV, I immediately realized what he meant. They were going to do the same thing to the United States.

25. I never mentioned this situation to my Husband. I was afraid of saying anything to him because I knew he would take his brother’s side and take it out on me. Days after this incident, my Husband called a friend of his in Florida by the name of Amar Charani, to ask him to get Haitham a job. Haitham left for Florida with a suitcase full of audio tapes with recordings from a man I later identified as Osama Bin Laden (his picture was on the cover of the tapes). --http://www.americansagainsthate.org/ghawji/RGA.php (The Case of Rosine Ghawji or I Married a Terrorist Collaborator; IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE FOR THE THIRTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT AT MEMPHIS; ROSINE COLLIN GHAWJI, Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant, No. CT-003545-04 vs. MAHER GHAWJI, Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff; AFFIDAVIT; Posted at Americans Against Hate)

AN ADDITION

“Who Bombed Khobar Towers? Anatomy of a Crooked Terrorism Investigation”

– The Khobar Towers bombing, which killed 19 US servicemen and wounded 372, is one of the events that US officials and news media routinely mention as proof of Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism. And in 2001 the Bush administration indicted Mughassil, along with twelve other members of “Hizballah Al-Hijaz,” the Saudi Shiite dissident organization aligned with Iran, for allegedly carrying out the Khobar bombing under direction from Iran.

But an investigation of the Khobar Towers case that I conducted in 2009, based on interviews with more than a dozen former FBI, CIA and other administration officials knowledgeable about the official investigation, reveals a very different story:

* The official Khobar Towers investigation led by FBI Director Louis Freeh was precooked to arrive at the outcome that had been politically determined by the White House.

* The only evidence of Saudi Shi’a involvement in the bombing was from confessions obtained by torture by Saudi secret police.

* The investigation ignored compelling evidence that Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda – not Iran-supported Saudi Hezbollah” – planned and executed the bombing.

From the beginning of the investigation, the FBI and CIA were determined to focus solely on evidence of Iranian involvement and to exclude leads linking al Qaeda to the blast. FBI and CIA experts on bin Laden who offered to assist in the investigation were rebuffed. Jack Cloonan, a member of the FBI’s I-49 unit, which had investigated previous terrorist actions by bin Laden, recalled that when he offered his unit’s assistance on the probe to the Washington Field Office (WFO), he was told to “f**k off.” [Blog Editor: Profanity though obvious, is edited with asterisk]

Similarly, CIA Director George Tenet created an encrypted “passline” that allowed only a handful of agency officials to know what was going on in the investigation. One of those excluded was the head of the bin Laden unit at the CIA’s Counter-Terrorism Centre, Michael Scheuer. That unit compiled a four-page memo containing all the intelligence it had collected before the Khobar Towers bombing, indicating that al Qaeda was planning an operation in Saudi Arabia involving explosives during 1996. Scheuer told me that Khobar was one of the places that came up in the intelligence. “They were moving explosives from Port Said through Suez Canal to the Red Sea and to Yemen, then infiltrating them across the border with Saudi Arabia,” Scheuer told me.

Scheuer recalled how the head of the CIA’s Counter-Terrorism Centre, Winston Wiley, came to his office after getting that intelligence memo to convince him that Iran was responsible for the Khobar bombing. Wiley showed him a translated intercept of an internal Iranian communication in which there was a reference to Khobar Towers. “Are you satisfied?” Wiley asked him. Scheuer replied that it was only one piece of information in a much bigger universe of information that pointed in another direction.  – (Who Bombed Khobar Towers?

The Khobar Towers bombing was a terrorist attack on part of a housing complex in the city of Khobar, Saudi Arabia, located near the national oil company (Saudi Aramco) headquarters of Dhahran and nearby King Abdulaziz Air Base on June 25, 1996. At that time, Khobar Towers was being used as quarters for Coalition forces who were assigned to Operation Southern Watch, a no-fly zone operation in southern Iraq, as part of the Iraqi no-fly zones.

A truck bomb was detonated adjacent to Building #131, an eight-story structure housing members of the United States Air Force's 4404th Wing (Provisional), primarily from a deployed rescue squadron and deployed fighter squadron. In all, 19 U.S. servicemen were killed and 498[1] of many nationalities were wounded. The official June 25, 1996 statement by the United States named members of Hezbollah Al-Hejaz (English: Party of God in the Hijaz) as responsible. In 2006, a U.S. court found Iran and Hezbollah guilty of orchestrating the attack.

The case reminds me of this “brave” case(y):


“Editor of Major German Newspaper Says He Planted Stories for the CIA”

– Becoming the first credentialed, well-known media insider to step forward and state publicly that he was secretly a “propagandist,” an editor of a major German daily has said that he personally planted stories for the CIA.

Saying he believes a medical condition gives him only a few years to live, and that he is filled with remorse, Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, the editor of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of Germany’s largest newspapers, said in an interview that he accepted news stories written and given to him by the CIA and published them under his own name. Ulfkotte said the aim of much of the deception was to drive nations toward war.

Dr. Ulfkotte says the corruption of journalists and major news outlets by the CIA is routine, accepted, and widespread in the western media, and that journalists who do not comply either cannot get jobs at any news organization, or find their careers cut short.

Dr. Ulfkotte is the author of a book currently available only in German, “Bought Journalists” (Kopp 2014.) Aged 55, he was also once an advisor to the government of German Chancellor Helmet Kohl.

The book has become a bestseller in Germany but, in a bizarre twist which Ulfkotte says characterizes the disconnect caused by CIA control of the western media, the book cannot be reported on. – (Editor of Major German Newspaper Says He Planted Stories for the CIA; By Ralph Lopez; Global Research; 2/4/15)
