The substances in the packages turned out to be non-hazardous. Were the senders simply trying to “strike terror in the enemy of Allah”? (Qur’an 8:60) Is just asking that question, even amid the skyrocketing Jew-hatred we see today, “Islamophobic”? “Fire crews respond to Northeast Seattle synagogue for possible hazardous substance,” by Paige Cornwell, Seattle Times, […]
Seattle: Ishmail Brown stabs passenger on light rail in ‘random and incredibly violent’ attack
Is Ishmail Brown a Muslim, and likely a convert to Islam, as his name suggests? Did he engage in this random attack in accord with the calls of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda for Muslims in the West to commit random jihad attacks on strangers? We may never know for sure, because one thing is […]
Seattle: Muslim accused of planting pipe bomb in public garage has long felony history, judges always released him
Is Osman Swaray Ibrahim a jihadi? A Leftist activist? A sociopath? Was he repeatedly released because the judges were Leftist activists who wanted criminals on the streets, or because the judges were afraid of appearing “Islamophobic”? No answers are forthcoming in this report, and probably never will be. “Man arrested after planting pipe bomb in […]
Seattle Police So Defunded They Can’t Even Investigate New Rape Cases
Actions have consequences. Stupid actions have stupid consequences. And pro-crime policies always work. Police defunding was billed as making Seattle safer because no longer would mean cops shoot drug dealers for no reason except that they were shooting at them. The Seattle City Council’s headlong dash to defund police is irresponsible, destabilizing — and ongoing. A Sept. 13 […]
Washington state: Muslim County Council candidate endorsed by Democrats once threatened to blow up school bus
Ubax Gardheere says: “My multi-complex, multi-dimensional, hyphenated identity makes me unapologetically Black, unapologetically Muslim, unapologetically Somali, and unapologetically American.” She has wrapped the school bus incident in her own claims of victimhood, which doesn’t bode well for her stint on the County Council. But more important is the moral myopia of those around her. What […]
Seattle: Man converts to Islam, plots to drive semi truck through gay pride parade and then open fire on crowd
A Seattle-area mosque tipped off the feds to this clown, which is good, but will also probably preclude the clueless and corrupt FBI from even bothering to investigate the possibility that Williams also learned at a mosque or from his fellow Muslims that jihad violence was a good thing. Meanwhile, as Williams is white, expect […]
Free speech victory: 9th Circuit rules that Seattle’s rejection of AFDI anti-terror ad violates First Amendment
An important victory for the increasingly embattled freedom of speech. Read Pamela Geller’s reaction and background on this case here. “AFLC Victory Over Government Apologists for Islamic Jihad: Ninth Circuit Unanimously Rules that King County’s Rejection of ‘Faces of Global Terrorism’ Ad Violates the First Amendment,” American Freedom Law Center, September 27, 2018: Seattle, Washington […]
Video: Key free speech case argued, American Freedom Defense Initiative vs. Seattle King County
This video shows Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center arguing that when Seattle refused to run our AFDI counter-terrorism ad, it violated our First Amendment rights. Our ad was a close copy of an ad that the FBI had originally run, before it was taken down after complaints from Leftists and Muslims. Both […]
AFDI Responds to Absurd Seattle King County Claim That We Are AGAINST Free Speech In Trying to Run Counterterror Ad
This all started back in 2013, when the FBI was running a terrorism awareness campaign featuring bus ads depicting photos of sixteen of the world’s Most Wanted Terrorists. This was a publicity campaign sponsored by the Joint Terrorism Task Force for the State Department’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program. The ad featured the world’s leading […]
AFDI lawsuit: “Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend”
One of the reasons why we have such a cult of victimhood in today’s society is because being offended is currency. It buys things for you. But only for some people. If conservatives are offended, it matters not a whit. But if Muslims are offended, everyone jumps to mollify them, in part to stave off […]
