My latest at PJ Media:
Fadel Alkilani, a student at Washington University in St. Louis, is an enterprising young man who clearly has a bright future ahead. On Saturday, as people all over the world mourned the deaths of 2,977 people in jihad attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., Alkilani busied himself with pulling up 2,977 flags that had been placed on campus in honor of the victims and throwing them away. Among Leftists today, that’s the kind of behavior that leads to rapid career advancement– clearly, Fadel Alkilani is an up-and-coming young man.
The flags were part of the Young America’s Foundation’s “9/11: Never Forget Project”: “YAF activists at high schools and colleges across the country are keeping alive the memory of those lost to radical Islamist terrorists in the world-changing events of September 11, 2001. The iconic displays made up of 2,977 American flags—one for each innocent life taken—bring schools, communities, and individuals together to pay tribute and continue our promise to ‘never forget.’”
YAF members at Washington University duly placed the 2,977 flags, only to have Alkilani, wearing a mask and his hair in a bun, come pluck the flags up and fill trash bags with them. In a video YAF posted on Twitter, Nathaniel Hope of Washington University’s hearty band of College Republicans confronts Alikani, who justified his action by claiming (falsely) that the flag display was a “violation of school rules.” He maintained that he, on the other hand, had not violated any university rules, telling Hope: “I did not violate any university or legal policy. Now go away.”
Later, Alkilani posted online a “Formal Statement on the Flag Relocation Incident,” in which he sanctimoniously employed that tried-and-true strategy of Leftists everywhere: He claimed victimhood. Instead of apologizing for his callous, thuggish, and fascist act, Alkilani wrote: “Currently, there is a massive harassment campaign propagated primarily by Washington University College Republicans, as well as the national Young American’s Foundation [YAF] regarding an incident that occurred at approximately 6 am on Saturday, September 11, 2021. There is a large amount of misinformation circulating, and I seek to explain both what occurred and why it happened.”
The “misinformation” that he proceeds to clear up is the claim that he was “‘stealing’ the flags. This is due to a WashU College Republicans member, taking a video of me collecting flags in plastic bags. However, I had no intention of removing the flags from the Mudd Field area, and my full protest did not have the chance to be actualized. My planned protest was to place the bags of flags on Mudd field, along with various statistics [including those below] explaining the human cost of 9/11 in the past 20 years. On the sides of the bags, some writing may be visible, but the full statement was not outlined at the time of the video. I did not deface, destroy, damage, nor steal any flags, nor did I interfere with any registered event time. I assert that I did not violate any University Code of Conduct policy, though the conduct process is undergoing. Additionally, I was verbally and physically harassed by numerous WashU students and WUPD officers, whom I plan to report through official channels.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
Callous and despicable , truly , he is.
So wonder he hides behind that mask
Ronald Lightner says
He’s a Muslim…….’nuff said .
mtman2 says
Can’t he be sued by YAF for each flag taken…???
gregbeetham says
Quick alert CNN that a Muslim is in danger of being Islamaphobed while he was innocently defacing a 9/11 memorial and being anti American.
Lion heart says
As a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq,I don’t know why are the Muslims still in the west ?
gregbeetham says
I think there’s a mixture of delusion and ignorance not to mention woke PC rubbish that has infected the West in recent times. Someone said that we are replacing our heritage of adherence to Christian values with a new woke cult that is fragmented and doesn’t have an established doctrine so they wing it and make up social value stuff as they go along.
The church unfortunately didn’t do itself any favours with a poor track record with child molestation and tried to sweep that under the carpet instead of upholding the principals they claim to represent and get rid of the molesters out of the church one way or the other.
So according to the guy I’m thinking of our societies are searching for and trying to establish a new moral base but aren’t doing a very good job, we are in danger of fragmenting completely now that the mainstay of Jesus has been sidelined to a large extent, basically we have become godless.
The majority of Muslims in the West don’t really know what is in the Koran in detail, most just follow the accepted routine but the danger is in their children when they go to various Islamic schools and learn the doctrine possibly more thoroughly than their parents are practising it, it is those that could become an unpredictable unknown quantity.
Yes you are correct, the Muslim problem is an additional problem we just don’t need.
Keith O says
The only things missing from his rambling “statement” are Trump made me do it & Aloha Snackbar!
I feel nothing but contempt for arseholes like this.
He should feel lucky that none of the victims family members saw this callous act.
tim gallagher says
What disgraceful behaviour from this Muslim maggot. Maybe his name will be remembered and when he tries to get a job, after finishing at university, he’ll find it very hard to get any kind of job for showing such callousness and inhumanity. He is going to be a wonderful citizen of the USA with his loathsome attitude. At the end, this maggot says that he was physically harassed by some students. I’m amazed that one or several reasonably patriotic students didn’t beat the shit out of this piece of traitorous Muslim crap. They showed a lot of self control in not rearranging the disgusting person’s features. I suppose that, with mobile phones everywhere, if they’d hit this verminous piece of crap, they would be in big trouble and this Muslim scumbag would be made into some type of hero by the traitorous left wingers that poison all our societies.
Keith O says
Don’t know about you Tim, but I would have paid money & sat there with a cold one whilst the attitude adjustment was delivered.
After he had fallen over several times, maybe the “error” warning light would start to flicker on!
tim gallagher says
Yeah, I feel the same as you do, Keith O. It was appalling, callous behaviour from this absolute grub of a human being. To me, it was amazing that the people he claims harassed him (maybe that was total bullshit from this Muslim) had enough self control to not beat him up for the disrespect he was showing for the people murdered in the terrorist attack. But, as there are always people videoing everything with their mobile phones these days, if people did harass this Muslim creep, then they probably realised that someone would be videoing them, maybe as a trap, so they would therefore decide not to actually harm him. One thing is for sure, and that is that this maggot is going to a useless citizen of the USA, just as so many Muslims are in all countries that have let them in.
Wellington says
Total asshole.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Complete and total…
mortimer says
Fadel Alkilani is an Islamo-fascist and he is doing what fascists do … they defend genocide. Fadel Alkilani approves of genocidal attacks against KAFIRS and wants the memory of them to be obliterated. That is why he removes the flags so that there will be no objection to further genocidal attacks.
The final of the Ten Stages of Genocide is the obliteration of the evidence.
St. Croix says
Exactly. The whole improvised where he made his act of Jihad vandalism and inhumanity out to be some kind of (incoherent at best) performance art piece is a shabby lie. He creatively came up with that excuse after the fact to keep on playing the victim and get off with it.
Just how stupid does he think the watching world is? Right. Mostly brainwashed media consumers who take the blue pill after dinner every night.
They do have the gall. They accuse others of the very thing they do. Projection 101.

Muslim Student at Washington University Removes 2,977 American Flags Commemorating 9/11 Victims
…………….
Just sickening desecration of a memorial to the innocent people murdered in Jihad terror by the coreligionists of Fadel Alkilani.
He claims that he was “harrassed” by Infidels for tearing up these flags, Just despicable.
And note that his statement makes things all the worse. He claims that his lack of respect was a “protest” over rhe human coast of 9/11–apparently he does not consider the murder of these people to be part of that cost. Instead he surely means that non-Muslims have at least sporadically tried to prevent further Jihad terror attacks.
He then claims that he has “faced fear” from Infidels who dare mention the victims of 9/11. Just crap. Then he of course cares nothing for the fear and loss suffered by the victims of 9/11 and their loved ones.
He claims that *he* is unsafe–just grotesque calumny against those trying to memorialize the victims of Jihad terror.
Kashyap says
Were Americans silent spectators! Nope not.
gravenimage says
He was confronted by College Repubican students.
Ecosse1314 says
One moment this bawbag was just moving them to another place. Later it becomes a political protest. Yeh right
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
No peace when the Moslems are about. Remember, they chose 9/11 as a tee hee ha ha about the emergency phone lines. He should be expelled for theft. Whoa on that one though, they do that and the situation on bucolic Wash U campus might get… explosive.
OLD GUY says
Tells you where his heart is, and it’s not with America. His next jihad may not be so peaceful, he bares watching.
Ugly Sid says
Wake me up when they change. Throw/keep them out till then.
CogitoErgoSum says
He should have both hands cut off.
gravenimage says
There is nothing un-Islamic in what he did.
CogitoErgoSum says
Maybe not but I’d still look to Islam for his punishment and then double it … specially for him.
wpm says
Should be expelled from the college and arrested for vandalism. If he is here on a green card visa he should be deported after serving his time in jail.
somehistory says
https://www.investigativeproject.org/8999/selective-memory-the-carefully-excised-why-of
“Stories of anti-Islamic hate crimes, when they are true, deserve to be told, of course. But the dereliction of duty to complete the more complicated, accurate portrait, in which 9/11’s perpetrators acted out of their perceived religious duty, short-circuits the opportunity to explain how that same motivation has survived and thrived around the world under different brand labels, and remains a potent threat.
Fortunately, the 567-page 9/11 Commission Report, the U.S. government’s three-year-long, bipartisan investigative effort to provide as full a possible historic account of how the attacks succeeded – and why the perpetrators carried them out – exists for moments like these. The report was authored by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. That was an independent, bipartisan group created on Nov. 27, 2002 by an act of Congress signed by President George W. Bush to study and then hold hearings about what happened.”
spiro says
He’s been expelled right
Oh wait he’s Moslem so he gets special treatment
He should be arrested
gravenimage says
This Muslim thug is also a senator with the Student Union.
Oren says
He either should have gotten beat up, or arrested and deported. Maybe both, with his attackers being released in order to promote good community relations with the american people. In G-d I trust.
The left hates white people, especially white men, and the G-d who would put them near the top, beneath the Jews. How dare G-d tell the white woman what man she could love?
revereridesagain says
It happened to the display on the Boston Common too. Now we’re told that police have “identified” a suspect — but the name has not been released. He’s been offered counseling services, however!
Maybe he’s “homeless”.
Maybe he’s a slave of Allah. We don’t know.
He has to show up in court for a hearing at some point. Should be interesting.

william Shackelford says
Has anyone recently reviewed the origin of the disgusting term “islamophobia?
gregbeetham says
Possibly all that needs to be done is convert Islamophobia into a virtue instead of a recrimination which is the interpretation the media prefers.
Like for instance, I’m Islamophobic and loving every minute of it, so what else you got?
