Watch How a Hijab-Wearing AOC Is Treated by a Muslim Male Audience as She Tries Pandering to Them During Eid Celebration in New York City

A Muslim male crowd gave AOC a rude welcome as she attempted to pander to them at a prominent Muslim holiday celebration in New York City.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, AOC was seen wearing a hijab at an Eid Celebration in New York City, which was attended by Muslim men.

Addressing a crowd on Wednesday, AOC called on people to “renew our commitments to one another” so together they “can bring light into the darkness.”

Despite claiming to be a feminist who wants to dismantle the patriarchy, the hijab is widely seen as a symbol of female repression intended to prevent Islamic women from attracting the attention of men.

Despite AOC’s pandering, the Muslim audience was unmoved.

Instead of listening, the attendees ignored what she was saying and started speaking among themselves.

In addition, the background noise completely muffled her speech.

So much disrespect for AOC.

German Gov’t Handed Out Millions to Charity Allegedly Tied to Muslim Brotherhood: Reports

Millions in taxpayer cash were directed towards an Islamic organisation with alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood by the German government, reports have revealed.

According to reports from Berlin’s Federal Audit Office, obtained by paper of record Die Welt, Germany’s Federal Foreign Office (AA) gave Islamic Relief Germany (IRD) nearly 8.5 million euros ($9.9m) between 2013 and 2016 and millions more on top of that.

This is despite the group’s parent organisation, Islamic Relief Worldwide, having been classified as a terror group in 2014 by Israel, which accused the group of having funnelled money to Palestinian Hamas terrorists, a charge the supposed charity denies. A 2009 report from Germany’s Baden-Württemberg Office for the Protection of the Constitution also accused the group of being tied to the radical Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to impose Sharia on the world.

A later 2019 government report found that the IRD had “significant personnel connections to the Muslim Brotherhood or organisations close to it,” following which the Foreign Office ceased funding the group.

The reports from the Federal Audit Office concerning the grants provided by the German government to IRD were classified and withheld from the public for over five years, with the government arguing that the release of the information could “lead to polemics” and would risk public discourse that would not be “conducive to the welfare of the federal government.”

However, the findings were finally disclosed following a lengthy lawsuit from attorney Seyran Ateş and the Institute for Secular Law. According to Die Welt, the first report found that the Foreign Office was “unable to explain on what basis” it had decided that Islamic Relief Germany was a reputable charity and worthy of millions in government grants.

How Western Intelligence Agencies Built the Global Jihadist Network

Americans have been fed a comforting fairy tale about Islamic terrorism. Radical jihadists attack the West simply because they despise freedom, democracy, and the American way of life. This narrative flatters domestic audiences while conveniently obscuring a far more troubling reality. For decades, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel have armed, financed, tolerated, and tapped into Sunni Islamist extremists as geopolitical tools to destabilize rivals. The evidence spans multiple theaters and rests on declassified documents, congressional investigations, and credible investigative journalism.

The most thoroughly documented case is Operation Cyclone, the CIA program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen from 1979 to 1992. In a 1998 interview with Le Nouvel Observateur, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski confirmed that the CIA began aiding mujahideen opponents of the pro-Soviet Kabul government six months before the Soviet invasion—a calculated provocation intended to draw Moscow into an unwinnable war. When asked if he regretted supporting Islamic fundamentalism that gave “arms and advice to future terrorists,” Brzezinski replied:

“What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?”

Multiple intelligence agencies participated in this operation. MI6 ran covert operations supporting hardline commanders. Pakistan’s ISI served as the critical financial and logistical conduit—operating under the direction of Pakistani President Zia ul-Haq, who controlled ISI policy throughout the war. Saudi Arabia agreed to match CIA contributions dollar for dollar, a commitment secured when Brzezinski visited Riyadh in February 1980 and one that CIA officer Gust Avrakotos and congressman Charlie Wilson (D-TX) would fly to Riyadh to enforce whenever Saudi payments fell behind. Historian Steve Coll documented in Ghost Wars that Osama bin Laden informally cooperated with ISI-run guerrilla training camps on behalf of newly arrived Arab jihadists, with intimate connections to CIA-backed commander Jalaluddin Haqqani. The global jihadist network that became al-Qaeda grew directly from this infrastructure.

The Afghan theater was not an isolated experiment but the opening chapter of a longer story. The same networks it created spread rapidly to the next front. The Chechen insurgency of the 1990s was joined by Arab and Central Asian jihadists who had cut their teeth in Afghanistan. The most prominent was Ibn Khattab, a Saudi-born mujahideen veteran born in 1969 inʿAr’ar, Saudi Arabia, who left for the Afghan jihad at age 18 before entering Chechnya in 1995. Saudi-backed organizations funneled funds, and Gulf state charities developed during the Afghan jihad maintained, in some cases wittingly and in others not, support for al-Qaeda-affiliated groups throughout the decade. Several of the future 9/11 conspirators—including Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah, and Ramzi bin al-Shibh—originally sought to travel to Chechnya in 1999 before being redirected to al-Qaeda’s Afghan camps, per the 9/11 Commission.

Iran-Linked Terror Plot in Europe: Migrant Spy Ring Accused of Targeting Jewish Leaders in Germany

Federal prosecutors in Germany, according to various reports, have charged two men accused of participating in an Iran-linked plot to carry out violent attacks against Jewish leaders, in what officials describe as a chilling escalation of foreign-backed threats on European soil.

The case, naturally, has reignited urgent concerns across the continent about rising anti-Jewish violence, foreign intelligence operations, and the growing vulnerability of Europe’s Jewish communities.

According to prosecutors, a Danish national identified as Ali S. and an Afghan national, Tawab M., are accused of helping to prepare attacks targeting prominent Jewish figures in Germany. Both men face charges related to attempted murder.

Ali S. is also charged with acting as an agent for a foreign intelligence service. Authorities allege he was working on behalf of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
Investigators say he maintained close ties with the elite Quds Force, a unit known for conducting operations abroad. The allegations point to a coordinated effort reaching far beyond Germany’s borders.

Prosecutors state that in early 2025, Ali S. was tasked with gathering intelligence on high-profile targets. Among them were Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, and Volker Beck, head of the German-Israeli Society.

Additional targets reportedly included Jewish businesses in Berlin. Investigators say the intent was to map out potential sites for attacks.

Democrat candidate spoke at mosque event where imam prayed for infidels to be killed

Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander quoted the Quran before an imam reportedly prayed for “the killing of infidels” during a recent mosque visit.

During a visit to the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens, New York, Lander described himself as “a proud Jewish New Yorker” before denouncing “Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” MEMRI reported May 15. He expressed his desire to partner with Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Lander did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

“In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say: ‘He is Allah, [who is] One, the Eternal Refuge, He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.’ Thank you very much for welcoming me today,” Lander said before leaving the podium.

“Through your hands comes the relief for the believers and the killing of the infidels by your sword,” the imam then prayed, according to MEMRI.

Lander is currently running for New York’s 30th congressional district. He is the former comptroller of New York City, and a close ally of Mamdani.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him after he allegedly assaulted Department of Homeland Security officers last June, the DCNF previously reported.

Lander’s wife, former Planned Parenthood executive Meg Barnette, reportedly stated on X that the arrest occurred while he was “escorting a defendant out of immigration court.” He was released that same afternoon, according to CCN.

Rep. Chip Roy Files Bill to BAN Chinese Communists and Radical Islamists from Buying American Homes

Rep. Chip Roy has introduced new legislation to stop Chinese Communist Party members, radical Islamists, and other designated foreign adversaries from purchasing homes and real estate in the United States.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Roy declared that American property should belong to American citizens, not to geopolitical foes who seek to undermine the country from within.

The bill would explicitly prohibit individuals affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, Islamist groups, or other designated adversaries from acquiring residential property.

“American homes belong to American families — not the Chinese Communist Party, foreign Islamists, or our geopolitical foes,” Roy told the Daily Caller. “While Americans struggle to afford housing, hostile regimes are buying up our land and neighborhoods.”

“This bill slams the door on foreign adversaries owning American housing and forces them to sell what they already control,” Roy added. “We’re putting America’s homes back in American hands.”

Housing affordability is a top issue for American families struggling with high prices and limited inventory, while foreign entities, especially from China, continue to snap up homes and farmland in strategic locations.

Shooters And Motives Revealed In San Diego Mosque Shooting That Killed Three

The two young alleged gunmen who descended upon a San Diego Islamic facility on Monday — killing three men and themselves — have been identified, along with early indications of their motives. Police sources have told multiple outlets that 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez — driven by hate — scrawled racist themes on their weapons and carried a gas can emblazoned with a Nazi SS sticker. One of them left a suicide note emphasizing “racial pride.” 

The attack was carried out on the Islamic Center of San Diego, which is roughly eight miles north of downtown and is home to the county’s largest mosque, and Bright Horizon Academy, a K-12 Islamic school. While the shooting began around 11:40 am, one of the shooter’s mothers contacted police at 9:42 am. She told them her son was missing, that he was suicidal, and that her firearms and her car were gone. She also reported that he was with a companion, both of them dressed in camouflage clothing. Police tried to track them down using license plate readers, at one point responding to a possible matching plate near a shopping mall. Other officers were dispatched to a high school that one of the alleged shooters attended. 

Police say that, after leaving the Islamic center, the alleged young murderers fired shots at a landscaper two blocks away, with one of the rounds grazing his helmet. He wasn’t wounded. Soon after, the two were found dead inside a white BMW another block away from the Islamic center, having apparently died of self-inflicted gunshots. Inside the vehicle, investigators found some type of anti-Islamic writing. In addition, the BMW contained a gasoline can that had a Nazi SS sticker on it, and police say unspecified “hate speech” was written on their firearms. They haven’t described the weapons yet.

South Carolina County Unanimously Rejects Mosque Permit After Residents Protest: ‘Islam Is Not a Religion — It’s a Takeover’

South Carolina’s Lancaster County Council voted unanimously last week to deny a conditional-use permit for a proposed Islamic Mosque and community center in the Indian Land area after angry residents passionately spoke out against it.

The rejection came after more than two hours of intense public testimony in which multiple residents warned that the mosque would import Sharia law and represent an ideological takeover incompatible with American values.

One resident went viral after she declared, “This is not about a place of worship; this is not about religion; Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover.”

She went on to read a passage from the Quran, which states, “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.”

“I just want to say this is not about a place of worship. This is not about religion. Islam is not a religion; it’s a takeover. And if you’ve done any studies, if you listen to any of the news media, you will find out that that is true,” she added.

16-Year-Old Texas Student EXPOSES Woke High School’s War on Conservative Kids – SILENCING Republicans While Openly Promoting Sharia Law and Islam

Brave 16-year-old sophomore Marco Hunter-Lopez just blew the lid off the radical left’s blatant double standard in Texas public schools: conservative students get censored, harassed, and stonewalled for months, while Islamic groups get the royal treatment to push “Understanding Shariah” pamphlets, Qurans with conversion cards, and hijabs right in the lunchroom.

As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit in February, “Why Islam” (tied to the Islamic Circle of North America) invaded Wylie East High School during lunch, setting up a massive table and handing out Islamic materials and head coverings while administrators watched approvingly.

The school later tried to downplay it as a “procedural breakdown,” but Hunter-Lopez – president and founder of the Wylie East High School Republican Student Club – has now gone public with the full story of systematic anti-conservative bias.

Hunter-Lopez detailed how his club faced endless roadblocks that other groups never encounter: months of delays in getting approved, posters ripped down by administrators while he was out of town, and hostile interrogations and condescending lectures pulled straight from the principal’s office.

He’s documented over 55 specific incidents of censorship, unfair treatment, and outright harassment against him and his conservative club dating back to August 2024.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Student Association and “Why Islam” got a free pass. They operated with zero pushback, distributing Sharia-promoting materials and hijabs as part of World Hijab Day celebrations.

School administrators didn’t just allow it – they enabled it. Principal Tiffany Doolan has proudly participated in World Hijab Day two years in a row, posting photos of herself wearing the hijab and gushing online: “I LOVED this experience!”

‘We must not become a caliphate’: Fury in Austria as study finds 41% of young Muslims say their religion supersedes local laws

A new study in Austria has found that 41 per cent of young Muslims agree with the statement that their religious beliefs supersede the country’s laws. 

The report, which explores religious attitudes among young people, was commissioned by the City of Vienna and was based on interviews with 1,200 people aged between 14 and 21. 

Researchers also found that 46 per cent of young Muslims interviewed believed people should be prepared to ‘fight and die,’ Austrian newspaper Heute reports. 

In addition, 65 per cent said Islamic rules should apply strictly to all aspects of daily life. 

Responding to the study, General Secretary of the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP), Nico Marchetti, said the findings paint a ‘devastating picture’ and must serve as a ‘clear warning signal.’

He said: ‘If 41 per cent of young Muslims place Islamic precepts above our laws, then that is a situation we cannot accept. Anyone who comes to us must adapt and become part of our society.’ 

The ÖVP General Secretary continued: ‘Austria must not and will not become a caliphate. Anyone who rejects these principles has no place in our country.’ 

The findings also prompted a strong reaction from Austria’s right-wing opposition party FPÖ. 

Politician Harald Vilimsky said on X: ‘We’ve been warning about this for decades. Got insulted and slandered for it. Now Sharia is entrenched in Europe.’

Vienna’s FPÖ leader Dominik Nepp said the results were ‘an alarm signal for the whole of Austria’ and blamed the situation on decades of failed migration and integration policies under the city’s Social Democratic leadership.

Islam is the largest minority religion in Austria and is practised by 8.3 per cent of the total population in 2021, according to Austria’s Federal Statistics Office. 

There has been fierce political debate regarding Muslims in recent years over integration, security concerns and restrictive legislation targeting Islamic culture. 

Last year, Austria’s lower house of parliament passed a ban on Muslim headscarves in schools for girls under 14. 

The ban, proposed by the ruling coalition of three centrist parties, was also backed by the far-right Freedom Party, which was alone in calling for it to apply to school staff as well. 

The only party to oppose the proposed ban was the smallest in parliament, the Greens, arguing it violates the constitution.

Rights groups have criticised the plan.

 Amnesty International said it would ‘add to the current racist climate towards Muslims’. The body that officially represents Austria’s Muslims has called it an infringement of fundamental rights.

‘This is not about restricting freedom, but about protecting the freedom of girls up to 14,’ Yannick Shetty, the parliamentary leader of the liberal Neos, the most junior party in the ruling coalition, told the lower house.
