NJ Dem congressional candidate has a history you wouldn't believe, or maybe you would

Adam Hamawy, running to represent the state’s 12th district, told prosecutors he had a years-long relationship with the so called cleric whose followers carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Hamawy is a New Jersey reconstructive surgeon, U.S. Army veteran who served as a combat trauma surgeon in Iraq, and now a Democratic candidate for Congress in NJ-12 to replace the retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. He shot to prominence by volunteering as a doctor in Gaza in 2024 at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, where he got briefly trapped after the Rafah crossing shut down.

The guy has racked up endorsements from all the usual suspects: Justice Democrats, CAIR Action, PAL PAC, Senator Comrade Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ro Khanna, and the rest of the pro-Palestine progressive crowd. His platform is the standard leftist greatest hits: Medicare for All, ending U.S. funding for Israel's military actions, and the ever-so-clever slogan "healthcare not bombs."

The real fireworks, as always with these candidates, center on his blistering criticism of Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war. Hamawy popped up on streamer Hasan Piker's show and came out swinging against U.S. funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. He argued it "insulates Israel from having to make decisions to make peace" and "isolates them from having to deal with the consequences," likening it to "giving a bully body armor." He backed a full arms embargo on Israel and insisted that Israelis need to "feel the effects of war" to get serious about peace.

That did not sit well with fellow progressive Democrat Sue Altman in the same primary. Altman accused him of "cheerleading and wishing for the deaths of Israeli children" and said she draws the line at rhetoric that seems to treat more Israeli civilian deaths as some kind of goal.

Hamawy's supporters immediately cried smear and Islamophobia, pointing to his humanitarian record (including saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth's life in Iraq). Altman eventually issued an apology (though it was apparently unwritten), which Hamawy graciously accepted. Critics, however, figured the damage from the inflammatory exchange was already done.

During and after his Gaza stint, Hamawy insisted he saw no weapons, no military presence, and "definitely no tunnels" under the European Hospital or places like Nasser. He described it as a purely civilian facility treating mostly civilians, many of them children, in the middle of the devastation. Later reports about Hamas command centers and tunnels under or near the hospital (including the strike that took out Mohammed Sinwar in a tunnel beneath it) led critics to call him naive, in denial, or worse. Hamawy and his backers stand by his firsthand medical observations and dismiss the rest.

A shiny new Super PAC called American Priorities (or PAL PAC) is dumping serious cash, around $2 million, to boost him as a counter to pro-Israel money in the race. There is also some past testimony linked to the "Blind Sheikh" from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that conservative outlets have dusted off. His strong progressive bona fides get him cheers from the Sanders wing and eye rolls from everyone else who thinks his Israel rhetoric veers into antisemitism territory or puts civilians at risk.

Hamawy likes to frame it all as principled opposition to U.S.-funded wars and military aid overseas while focusing on domestic priorities like healthcare. To his fans he is a heroic humanitarian. To his detractors he is another example of the Democratic Party's lurch into territory that endangers allies and excuses terrorists. The NJ-12 primary remains a messy fight between the pro-Israel and anti-Israel factions as of early May 2026. For the unvarnished details, primary sources like the Jewish Insider piece or his own campaign site are worth a look.

Linda Sarsour's role model and mentor

Linda Sarsour has called for Muslims to wage jihad against President Trump in her address to the 54th ISNA Convention. Sarsour is one of the more prominent Muslim jihadis in America who would like to see the imposition of sharia law which limit the rights of women and non Muslims.

But the most relevant and revealing thing she said in her 22-minute speech came within the first two minutes when she gave props to her "favorite person in this room," radical imam and scumwafer Siraj Wahhaj. He was referred to by Sarsour as her "mentor, motivator and encourager."

In a recent police raid in New Mexico of an extremist Islamist compound where children were being trained to become school shooters and one 3-year-old was found dead, one of the leaders happened to be Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the son of Sarsour's mentor, Siraj Wahhaj.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj had kidnapped his own physically disabled child--the 3-year-old mentioned above who died. It was learned that he was deprived of his medicine and instead underwent an exorcism ritual. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the son of Sarsour's mentor, attributed his son's condition to demonic possession.

Other Islamist training camps are located within the U.S. borders. In January 2018, FBI documents confirming Jamaat ul-Fuqra is training jihadis in dozens of isolated camps across the USA and Canada.

Fuqra now goes by the name of the Muslims of the Americas, as well as other names. It's an Islamist group with a history of terrorism and crime. The group conducts paramilitary training in their camps.

Wahhaj, Sr. is well-acquainted with Fuqra/MOA. Many of his former congregants at Wahhaj's Al-Taqwa mosque are intimately tied to MOA, including Ali Abdelaziz and Clement Rodney Hampton-El.

In the aftermath of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Wahhaj's sermon asked the question: "Who are the real terrorists?" He named the U.S. government, big business and the media.

The bombing took place in late February when a truck bomb detonated beneath the North Tower. The 1,336 pounds of urea nitrate-hydrogen gas enhanced bomb was meant to send the entire North Tower (Tower One) crashing down into the South Tower (Tower Two) and kill tens of thousands of people. It failed to do so but did succeed in killing six people and injuring over a thousand.

So who are the real terrorists, Wahhaj?

Wahhaj Sr. also was a character witness for the "Blind Sheikh," Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was found guilty of being the mastermind behind terrorist plots against the United States as well as the 1993 WTC bombing.

 In 1992 Wahhaj gave a sermon advocating for armed jihad.

It's highly likely that Ibn Wahhaj was influenced by his father when he trained those children to kill innocent victims.

Sarsour may never wear a suicide vest, or drive a truck into a crowd of pedestrians, or stab someone on the street, but she is a "mentee" of Siraj Wahhaj and she has a long history of hateful views, particularly her anti-Semitic, anti-American views.

For example, in 2017, Sarsour attended a summit run by the suicidal and radical leftist group Jewish Voice for Peace. She sat next to the convicted Palestinian terrorist, Rasmea Odeh, and gave her a warm embrace. Sarsour said that she was "honored and privileged to be here in this space, and honored to be on this stage with Rasmea."

Sarsour has even called for people to show solidarity with Muhammad Allan, a member of the terrorist group Islamic Jihad. Allan has a history of recruiting suicide bombers but refuses to partake in that religious experience.

How Muslims can have a person like Sarsour as their spokesperson is beyond comprehension. They can do a lot better than this woman.

Texas imam wants to kill Jews as called for in Islamic scripture

Sheikh Ramadan Elsabagh (he changed it from Elsaburgstein because it sounded too Jewish) a Texas imam of the jihad faith, has called for Israel's destruction and "their allies, and those who assist them and those who allowed them into the abodes of the Muslims" . . . in Arabic, hoping only anti-Semites would understand him. 

The imam's call came after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, which it has always been but the world pretended otherwise.

"Our Lord. Help holy Palestine," the anti-Semite chanted. ". . . O Allah, be with your oppressed worshipers in Palestine, O Allah destroy the Zionists and their allies, and those who assist them and those who allowed them into the abodes of the Muslims. By your power, O mighty one, O mighty one, through your power and might, O Allah, deflect them with what you will, and however you will, for you are omnipotent, and with a response omnipotent."

Elsabagh is listed as the head of the Islamic Services Foundation Quran Institute in Garland, Texas, and is a featured Quran reader on a host of Internet sites, and he is also seen on Google Play and iTunes.

In conclusion, the hater said: "O Allah save [Al Aqsa] from the hands of the accursed violators, whom you have cursed in every book, and cursed them through every prophet. O Allah destroy them."

He's right--the Quran has the anti-Christian and anti-Semitic quotes and the Hadith explains the quotes and what inspired them. The other scripture, the Sira, is a biography of Muhammad's life and describes how he married a 6-year-old Aisha, and beheaded 900 Jews for refusing to convert to Islam, and robbed travelers.

The video made by the imam received several "amen, amen" responses and one of those was from Said Abbasy.

Abbasy is a New York-based Muslim Brotherhood supporter who has mourned the death of Omar Abdel Rahman (aka The Blind Sheikh) considered to be the spiritual guide for the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. Rahman was convicted for a plot to attack other New York landmarks and assassinate high-profile targets. 

Andrew McCarthy was the prosecutor who helped but his butt in prison.

Abbasy posted his thoughts on Facebook about Rahman: "Oh God, take vengeance on those who wronged him."

McCarthy is doing just fine in spite of Abbasy's prayer for vengeance.

Garland, Texas was the scene of a terrorist attack on May 3, 2015, the first claimed by ISIS. It was a free speech, "Draw Muhammad Contest" led by activist Pamela Geller. 

The only deaths were those of the two terrorists.

Over 100 people were inside the building and the terrorists, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, drove up to a checkpoint manned by a Garland police officer and school security guard, Bruce Joiner.

The terrorists opened fire with automatic rifles and Joiner was shot in the leg. Officer Greg Stevens returned fire with his handgun and a SWAT team on the scene shot both terrorists in the head, which had a deleterious effect on their lives.

"This is standard Islamic belief," Geller told the media. "This imam may be reacting to President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but Muhammad says that Muslims will kill Jews and the Jews will hide behind the trees, and the trees will cry out, 'O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.' Trump's decision is smoking out some of these Jew-haters, but American authorities are eventually going to have to face the fact that this is the Islamic mainstream, not 'extremism.' And it is Islamic Jew-hatred as commanded in Islamic texts and teachings that fuels this holy war against the Jewish state."

As Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:

"If the Arabs put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel."

Sadly, that's a fact.

The Blind Sheikh to get 72 virgin seeing-eye dogs

The blind sheikh is dead. 

Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the scum cleric linked to the 1993 World Trade Center truck attack that killed 6 infidels has died in federal prison. He unfortunately lived to be 78.

Abdel-Rahman was an Egyptian orthodox Muslim who had a world following even while he was in the slammer for over 20 years. He finally finished serving his life sentence as he died at Butner Federal Medical Center in North Carolina (GO Blue Devils!)

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Abdel-Rahman's journey to Jahhah (Islamic heaven, thought to be laden with rivers of wine, boys who tend to every need and virgins galore) Abdel Rahman died at approximately 5:40 a.m. Saturday of natural causes. 

He has been battling diabetes and coronary artery disease for a long time and Allah finally called him home where he will be receiving 72 mangy virgin seeing-eye dogs for his pleasure.

The Blind Sheikh's son Ammar told Reuters that the family was called by a U.S. representative to start spreading the news.

The man who prosecuted Abdel-Rahman for the federal government told Fox News that the sheikh was globally notorious as the "emir of jihad" long before al-Qaeda and ISIS existed.

"He provided the international jihadist campaign its deep roots in sharia supremacism," he said.

"His scholarly heft made him highly influential, in the deadliest of ways. The only thing he could do was lead [the terrorist organization]--provide it with inspiration and a sense of divine mission. His life is a testament to the centrality of sharia supremacist ideology to the terrorist threat."

Abdel-Rahman lost his eyesight when he was 10 months old and by 11 years old he memorized the Braille version of the Qur'an. People who memorize the Qur'an (aka the Islamic war manual) are known as hafiz.

Rather than going on with some kind of eulogy for this crap weasel, let's all be thankful he's gone to where the goblins go, and Osama bin Laden.

They say people like Abdel-Rahman make great fertilizer.
