He fought police brutality and racism, wielding his fierce pen at the New York Daily News, The Young Turks and The North Star. Then in March 2024, the icon for the Left — whose combined followers on X, IG and FB is 8 million — became Muslim. “It has touched me in the most profound ways to see people right now in the most dangerous, traumatic place on the planet still be able to sometimes look at nothing but rubble and the remains…

By Kirollos Abdalla — For the first time ever, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and a host of other Arab nations unequivocally condemned the terrorism of Hamas and called for the Gaza leadership group to disarm and hand over power to another Palestinian group. “On the part of Saudi Arabia and the Arab and Muslim countries who for the first time will condemn terrorism, the acts of terror on the 7th of October, a call for the disarmament of Hamas and expressed their hope to have a normalized relationship with Israel in due time,” said UJean-Noël Barrot, the French foreign minister,…

By Kirollos Abdalla — An Oklahoma man who was caring for his elderly father in Syria was dragged outside and executed in Tishreen Square by Syrian-backed militia — the latest of 182 estimated to be killed by government soldiers. Interim President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa (formerly an ISIS commander known as Al-Julani) blamed the Druze as renegade terrorists threatening to undermine the legitimacy of the new government. The Druze along with the Kurds have refused the government’s order to disarm. Hosam Saraya, a 35-year-old MBA graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, was made to kneel before being killed in the Druze-majority city…

He became a recruiter for the Egyptian Islamist organization Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya which tried to overthrow the government and institute Sharia law. Salam’s earliest memory was the death of President Nasser, the anti-Israel socialist. When Andwar Sadat, the next Egyptian president, signed peace treaty with Israel, Salam cried; he saw it as a betrayal. Every day he had to pass by the Israeli Embassy on his way to school, and he would spit on it, going and coming. “Every problem we had in the 70s and 80s were blamed on Israel,” explains Salam (@IbnAlwarraq on X). “Rising prices,corruption in the government,…

By Kirollos Adballa — If you wish to understand the mind-boggling marriage of Leftists and Islamists, you need to trace back to Carlos the Jackal, the godfather of terrorism who exploded bombs, killed people, extorted OPEC and eluded capture for decades. In Carlos you see communism and anti-Israel Muslim hate joined seamlessly. Born Ilich Ramírez Sánchez in Venezuela, the mythical guerrillero followed his father’s footsteps into Marxist-Leninist ideology of violent overthrow. Trained to be an agent for the spread of communism at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, Ilich moved in July 1970 to Beirut where he joined the communist Popular…

So says economist Thomas Sowell, whose intellect is as huge as his humility. “In the first draft of The Communist Manifesto, Friedrich Engels specifically wanted to dismember the family,” Sowell says. “But (Karl) Marx decided that wasn’t gonna fly, so when he rewrote it he left that out. “But that’s been there over the past two centuries, they try to undermine the decision-making autonomy of the family,” he adds. The latest public policy…

By Kirollos Abdalla — Every 10 days, Afshin Javid read the Quran cover to cover. A Hezbollah militant from Iran, he volunteered to walk on land mines and participated in the hanging of infidels “trying to please Allah.” But when 30 fake passports landed him in jail in Malaysia en route to the U.S., Afshin Javid had an encounter with Christ. “A man appears in front of me normal size but his being shines light, not a normal light,” Afshin says. “I knew I’m not holy and I knew the only just thing for him to do was to kill…

By Kirollos Abdalla — Steven Fernandez hated the Christian school his grandfather enrolled him in after he got out of juvenile hall, so he jumped the principal. It didn’t work. Pastor George Neos was a former linebacker from Dartmouth University. “I jumped on his back from the stairs and tried to choke him,” Steven tells. “He grabbed me and and slammed me up against the wall.” Steven Fernandez was part of a tagging crew that spray painted their insignia on freeways, bridges and stores across Los Angeles. He fought other gangs, was addicted to cocaine and ran from the police.…

By Kirollos Abdalla — In 2015, progressives celebrated the diversity of Hamtramck, Michigan when an all-Muslim city council was voted into power. In 2023, they saw what it actually means to have Muslims in power. The City Council voted unanimously to ban gay pride flags from city property. “There’s a sense of betrayal,” said former Mayor Karen Majewskin. “We supported you (Muslims) when you were threatened, and now our (LGBTQ) rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.” With Yemeni population at more than 30% and growing and the Bangladeshis at about 25%, Hamtramck can be seen as…

By Kirollos Abdalla — Turkey’s president may want to restore the glories of the Islamist Ottoman Empire, but lately he’s been at risk of losing democratic power in his homebase and has cracked down on opponents, journalists and protesters. Recep Tayyip Erdogan partially funded the Islamist takeover of Syria and is operating in airports and infrastructure inside Syria – a move opposed by Israel, given Erdogan’s increasing anti-Israel rhetoric that aligns with Muslim hatred of Jews. Analysts suspect Erdogan is trying to mobilize Islamist outrage behind him in a bid for increasing regional power. The Turkish Ottomans controlled most of…
