Mosque tied to Shamsud-Din Jabbar directs queries to Islamic non-profit linked to terror

By Ari Hoffman | The Post Millennial A Houston mosque, that has been tied to the Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who killed 15 people and injured dozens more in a New Orleans terror attack, has reportedly told its members to refer any questions from law enforcement or media to a non-profit group that has been linked to terrorism. Investigative journalist Bree Dail obtained an announcement from “Masjid Bilal management” informing saying that the “tragic events that took place in New Orleans this morning" were being "classified as an act of terror" by the FBI. "If anyone is contacted by the media it is very important that you do not respond," the announcement read. "If approached by the FBI and a response is necessary please refer to CAIR and ISGH."

Lyman: Here’s who Biden’s FBI decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist Imagine how much worse Wednesday’s deadly event would have been had the FBI not taken dangerous grandmothers off the street? Early Wednesday morning, a radical Islamic terrorist drove his truck through a crowd of people celebrating the start of the new year in New Orleans. Fifteen people were murdered and more than 35 injured. But maybe this tragedy could have been avoided if the FBI spent less time targeting parents, Catholics and countless other dissidents and instead focused its resources on catching actual  terrorists. Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag before shooting at police officers, who fatally shot Jabbar. Jabbar “recently converted to Islam” and ...

As Breitbart News reported, Dutch security forces appeared unable to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by roaming gangs of masked attackers who shouted “Free Palestine” as they hunted, beat and brutally harassed the Israelis.

Dr. David Fox, director of crisis and trauma services for Chai Lifeline International, a Jewish nonprofit and network supporting families living with illness or loss, said he’s traveled to Israel multiple times over the last year to meet with hostages' families and consult with survivors' families on the ground.  "I think Oct. 7 will remain seared into the consciousness of Jews and of Israelis," Fox told Fox News Digital.
