Podcasts about somali muslims

Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi Ali's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Raised in a devout Somali Muslim family, Ayaan received a strict Muslim education and fled a forced marriage. Armed only with intellectual curiosity and unwavering determination, she sought refuge in the Netherlands, where she was first exposed to the ideas of the West. It was here that she found her voice, her passion for women's rights, and her commitment to challenging the status quo. Ayaan has become a prominent voice for reform within Islam and has dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of women, minorities, and dissidents living under oppressive regimes. Tune in for a compelling dialogue with one of the world's most fearless voices. - - -  Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold - Open an IRA in GOLD and get a FREE infokit.

It's Friday, April 12th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Former Muslim unable to provide for her children Halima and her three children are part of a group of Somali Christians in Mombasa, Kenya who face persecution, reports International Christian Concern. After Halima left her Muslim faith to follow Christ in 2012, she kept her faith secret for five years. Following her baptism in 2017, her Muslim husband Osman and other family members discovered that she had left Islam. Osman divorced Halima, forcing her to relocate to another part of Mombasa. Despite living discreetly, Halima's Christian activities were uncovered. In May 2023, their home was targeted twice by Muslim assailants, though they were unsuccessful. They accused Halima of leading Muslims astray and labeled her a “Christian crusader.” The combination of unemployment and ongoing harassment left Halima struggling to provide for her children. Consequently, they were forced to drop out of school earlier this year due to unpaid fees. When International Christian Concern learned about Halima's case in October 2023, they provided the funds to send her children back to school. Halima said, “My children had no hope of continuing with school for this year. I kept trusting God, and He surely came through for me.” She asks that you pray that more Somali Muslims come to faith in Christ.  In John 3:3, Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." In addition to praying for their conversion, you can provide funds to help other persecuted Christians like Halima through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Muslim Americans chant “Death to America” in Dearborn, Michigan A video of an anti-Israel activist in Dearborn, Michigan prompted Muslims to chant "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" in their Arabic language. MUSLIM CROWD: “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” (in Arabic) Last Friday, Tarek Bazzi, who is associated with the Hadi Institute, gave a speech at an International Al-Quds Day rally, an annual pro-Palestinian event held on the last Friday of Ramadan. BAZZI: “Malcolm X said, and I quote, ‘We live in one of the rottenness countries that has ever existed on this earth.' It's not Genocide Joe that has to go. It's the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen, and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God's Earth.” As it turns out, Bazzi has a history of espousing violent rhetoric, reports Fox News. Back in 2021, Bazzi can be heard using violent rhetoric towards Israel and Jewish people while speaking to a group of protesters. He said, "Understand what these slogans mean. 'From the river to the sea' means the absolute annihilation of the Zionist regime. It is absolute evil. It is a cancer in the Middle East and in the world. There is no way to deal peacefully with such an entity.” Muslim Congresswoman vs. White House on anti-American chanters Listen to the encounter that Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn had with Democratic Muslim Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan when she asked for the Congresswoman's reaction to the “Death to America” chant in her district. VAUGHN: “Congresswoman Tlaib?” TLAIB: “I don't talk to Fox News. I don't talk to Fox News” VAUGHN: “At a rally in your district, people were chanting ‘Death to America.' Do you condemn …” TLAIB: “I do not talk to Fox News.” VAUGHN: “But do you condemn chants of ‘Death to America'?” TLAIB: “I don't talk to people that use racist tropes.” VAUGHN: “Why can't you just say whether or not you condemn people chanting death to America? Why are you afraid to talk to Fox?” TLAIB: “Fox News is not. Listen, using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about. I don't talk to Fox News.” VAUGHN: “Is death to America racist? Is chanting ‘Death to America' racist?” TLAIB: “Talk about your guys's racist tropes.” By contrast, the White House condemned the “Death to America” chant in Dearborn, Michigan. Listen to Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary. JEAN-PIERRE: “We will condemn any, any violent rhetoric and we've been very consistent about denouncing that type of, that type of rhetoric. Any type of violent rhetoric, we are going to denounce.” O.J. Simpson died O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died, according to his family, reports ABC News. He was 76. On June 12, 1994, Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally stabbed to death outside of her home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood. Within days, police announced their intention to arrest the former football star for the murders. Five days after the killings, 95 million Americans watched as Simpson's white Ford Bronco – with longtime friend Al Cowlings at the wheel and Simpson in the back seat with a handgun, threatening to kill himself – led police on a 60-mile, low-speed televised chase through Los Angeles that lasted two hours. Simpson ultimately surrendered to police and stood trial for the murders. In October 1995, after 11 months from jury selection to verdict, Simpson was acquitted. Though he was acquitted on the criminal charges, the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman filed a civil suit against Simpson. he was ordered to pay a total of $33.5 million in damages. Despite years of efforts, the families were only able to collect from Simpson a fraction of the damages the jury awarded. Two women injured by abortion in one day And finally, on Wednesday, April 10th, Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers documented two abortion-related injuries on the same day at the University of New Mexico Center For Reproductive Health abortion mill. This is the eighth abortion injury documented there since Abortion Free New Mexico launched the daily sidewalk prayer initiative, No Sidewalk Without The Savior in April 2022.  The first abortion injury occurred at 2:30pm. A fire engine, police car, and two ambulances were photographed onsite and a woman was wheeled out of the abortion mill on a gurney and placed in an ambulance. Shockingly, the second abortion injury was documented just an hour and a half later at 4:00pm! Both women were taken to a local emergency room after having likely experienced a botched abortion injury. First and second trimester abortions are performed up to  six months of pregnancy at this location. Tara Shaver with Abortion Free New Mexico, said, ​"Abortion at any stage of pregnancy is a brutally violent act. Precious unborn children pay the ultimate price with their lives. But many times, as documented twice [on Wednesday], women sustain life-threatening injuries because abortions are incredibly invasive and unnatural.” She added that pro-abortion advocates “do not care about women's health. They just demand unrestricted abortion regardless of the life threatening consequences." In Proverbs 6:17, we learn that one of the seven things that God hates are the “hands that shed innocent blood.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, April 12th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

According to a Suffolk University/NBC10 Boston/Boston Globe tracking poll published on Monday, Trump leads Haley by 19 points. Trump received 57 percent support and Haley received 38 percent. With DeSantis dropping out of the race on Sunday, Haley gained two points. The poll was conducted between January 20 and 21 of 500 likely Republican primary voters in the state. The poll has a margin of error of 4.4 percent. A Washington Post/Monmouth University poll, also released on Monday, placed Trump 18 points ahead of Haley, with 52 percent supporting the president and 34 percent backing Haley. DeSantis received 8 percent support, as the poll was conducted before the Florida governor dropped out of the race. This poll was conducted between January 16 and 20 of 712 potential voters in the New Hampshire Republican primary and has a margin of error of 4.2 percent. https://www.frontpagemag.com/vermont-resettled-somalis-shootings-are-up-185/ Vermont Resettled Somalis, Shootings Are Up 185% Shootings are up 185% in Vermont from 2021 to 2022. “We are not used to this level of violence in Vermont,” Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger complained after the city racked up 5 murders. That may not sound like much, but it gives the normally sleepy city, where Bernie Sanders got his start, a higher murder rate than Philly. When James Eaton, a mentally unstable leftist who had praised Hamas, shot and wounded three Arab Muslim men outside his home, the media eagerly diverted attention from the crime wave to the shooter, who was conveniently white, while falsely blaming it on ‘Islamophobia’. The discredited hoax was not only trying to rally support for terrorists, but also to distract attention from the real perpetrators of the violence that has overtaken Bernie’s old city. The shooters in Burlington, VT are much more likely to be Muslim male teens. Another recent shooting out of Burlington made the national news when Hussein Mohamed, the underage son of Somali immigrants who don’t speak English, shot and killed Madden: a local 14-year-old boy. It was reported that “state police were able to make an arrest despite at least two eyewitnesses from the car providing multiple false statements about the crime.” The murder wave in Burlington was touched off in 2022 when a Muslim teen, shot and killed Hussein Mubarak, 21. The 19-year-old had been part of a Somali Muslim refugee family profiled by the New York Times under the headline “U.S. a Place of Miracles for Somali Refugees.” Of that family, one son was convicted of assault with a firearm, another of “aggravated assault for shooting a man in November 2020” and the 19-year-old was the grandson of that same family. The teen had allegedly become a member of a Somali gang that stole cars while “wearing surgical gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints behind” and two of them had attacked a man in broad daylight while wearing ski masks. Mubarak had been born in a refugee camp before his family was resettled in America where his “older and younger siblings” spent time in jail, while he turned to selling drugs. The reporting on the incident and other violent encounters in Burlington are littered with mentions of drug dealing, stolen cars and guns, shootings in garages and names like Mohamed, Ahmed Mohamed, Badal Khadka and Abukar. Abukar Hilowle was accused of a few shootings, including one in which he allegedly shot the driver of the car he was in, resulting in a car crash, and another in which he shot two middle-aged American men on the street, one of whom had told him to “chill”, but the Muslim perpetrator claimed that he was responding to “racial slurs” by his two victims. In 2022 it was reported that, “by mid-summer, about half of the city’s gunfire incidents were connected to a small group of new American young men.” The inaccurate euphemism “new Americans“ was being used to refer to Somali and other often Muslim African immigrants. The perps are usually repeat offenders who wander in and out of the justice system. In 2020, another Somali was arrested for aggravated assault during a fight over drugs. By 2022, when he was accused of trying to shoot his brother, he had racked up 47 police contacts and 11 arrests. Despite being briefly charged with attempted murder, his family refused to testify and he received a plea deal last year for time served. Mayor Miro Weinberger however has claimed that the role of migrant settler teens in the wave of violence is not “particularly relevant”. When the three Arab Muslim men were shot, State’s Attorney Sarah George rushed to claim, without a shred of evidence, that, “there is no question this was a hateful act.” But the Soros DA has been accused of giving violent drug gang members a pass for the sake of social justice. Burlington’s crime level rose sharply after the City Council had voted to defund 30% of the police department during the peak of the BLM race riots. Burlington City Councilor Ali Dieng, an African Muslim immigrant who has run for mayor, has attacked the police while introducing resolutions to boycott Israel and has urged funding for social services to explore the “root causes” of the violence by members of his community. Only a few hundred Somali Muslims were resettled in Burlington with horrifying consequences. The question in Burlington, VT and across a nation under siege by hate, extremism, violence, crime and terror spread by first, second and third generation ‘refugees’ is how much more can we take, how many more lives can we lose and how long can we go on living this way? https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/business/in-n-out-burger-in-oakland-to-close-doors-for-good-over-of-out-of-control-crime-company-says/ In-N-Out Burger in Oakland to close doors for good over of out-of-control crime, company says In-N-Out Burger’s only location in Oakland is closing after the cherished fast-food joint decided it could no longer risk the safety of fed-up workers and patrons in the city plagued by recent crime. The location will shut its doors in March — despite the burger spot turning a profit — because of the constant crime in the community, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a sudden announcement over the weekend. The fast food joint has been in the California city for 18 years. “Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies,” Warnick wrote, according to CBS East Bay, which obtained the announcement. “Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment,” he said. Data released by Oakland police at the start of the new year showed robberies increased 38% from 2022 to 2023, ABC 7 Bay Area reported. Burglaries jumped 23% year-to-year and motor vehicle theft spiked 44%, the data showed. Workers at Oakland’s In-N-Out can either transfer to another one of the company’s fast-food restaurants or accept a severance package. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2024/01/20/the-kingdom-belongs-to-you-lord-ravens-john-harbaugh-opens-post-game-presser-by-reading-bible-verse/ ‘The Kingdom Belongs to You, Lord’: Ravens’ John Harbaugh Opens Post-Game Presser by Reading Bible Verse On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens won their biggest game since they last won the Super Bowl over ten years ago.

Burlington City Councilor Ali Dieng, an African Muslim immigrant who has run for mayor, has attacked the police while introducing resolutions to boycott Israel and has urged funding for social services to explore the “root causes” of the violence by members of his community. Only a few hundred Somali Muslims were resettled in Burlington with horrifying consequences. The question in Burlington, VT and across a nation under siege by hate, extremism, violence, crime and terror spread by first, second and third generation ‘refugees’ is how much more can we take, how many more lives can we lose and how long can we go on living this way? https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/business/in-n-out-burger-in-oakland-to-close-doors-for-good-over-of-out-of-control-crime-company-says/ In-N-Out Burger in Oakland to close doors for good over of out-of-control crime, company says In-N-Out Burger’s only location in Oakland is closing after the cherished fast-food joint decided it could no longer risk the safety of fed-up workers and patrons in the city plagued by recent crime. The location will shut its doors in March — despite the burger spot turning a profit — because of the constant crime in the community, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a sudden announcement over the weekend. The fast food joint has been in the California city for 18 years. “Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies,” Warnick wrote, according to CBS East Bay, which obtained the announcement. “Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment,” he said. Data released by Oakland police at the start of the new year showed robberies increased 38% from 2022 to 2023, ABC 7 Bay Area reported. Burglaries jumped 23% year-to-year and motor vehicle theft spiked 44%, the data showed. Workers at Oakland’s In-N-Out can either transfer to another one of the company’s fast-food restaurants or accept a severance package. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2024/01/20/the-kingdom-belongs-to-you-lord-ravens-john-harbaugh-opens-post-game-presser-by-reading-bible-verse/ ‘The Kingdom Belongs to You, Lord’: Ravens’ John Harbaugh Opens Post-Game Presser by Reading Bible Verse On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens won their biggest game since they last won the Super Bowl over ten years ago. And in his post-game presser, coach John Harbaugh knew exactly who to thank for it. After the Ravens rallied from a 10-10 tie at halftime to thoroughly dominate the second half on their way to a 34-10 victory, Harbaugh opened his presser not by complimenting his future MVP quarterback (probably) but by thanking his Creator. https://twitter.com/i/status/1748892900195438908 - Play Video The verse is from 1 Chronicles 29: 11-13. Harbaugh’s bold statement of faith comes a week after NBC’s official Sunday Night Football account edited out Texans quarterback CJ Stroud’s comments where he said, “All glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” following Houston’s defeat of the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens coach wasn’t the only member of the Harbaugh family to speak out in defense of faith this week.

Buying a house a part of the American Dream. Some people have a mortgage through a lender, others through a “contract for deed.” But this direct transaction between buyer and seller is risky. A new investigation from ProPublica and the Sahan Journal has found that local real estate investors are targeting Somali Muslim families to engage in these risky financial deals. Jessica Lussenhop is one of the reporters behind the investigation, and she joined host Cathy Wurzer to explain the issue.

There is reason to suspect four other people may also have been murdered because of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hatred.  Balbir Singh Sodhi Balbir Singh Sodhi, a forty-nine-year-old turbaned Sikh and father of three, was shot and killed while planting flowers at his gas station on September 15, 2002. Police officials told Human Rights Watch that hours before the crime, Sodhi's alleged killer, Frank Roque, had bragged at a local bar of his intention to "kill the ragheads responsible for September 11."90 In addition to shooting Sodhi three times before driving away, Roque also allegedly shot into the home of an Afghani American and at two Lebanese gas station clerks.91 The Maricopa County prosecutor's office was due to try Roque for Sodhi's murder on November 12, 2002.  Vasudev Patel On October 4, 2001, Mark Stroman shot and killed Vasudev Patel, a forty-nine-year old Indian and father of two, while Patel was working at his convenience store in Mesquite, Texas.92 A store video camera recorded the murder, allowing law enforcement detectives to identify Stroman as the killer. Stroman said during a television interview that anger over the September 11 attacks caused him to attack any store owner who appeared to be Muslim. He further stated during the interview: "We're at war. I did what I had to do. I did it to retaliate against those who retaliated against us."93In addition to killing Patel, Stroman also shot and killed Waquar Hassan on September 15, 2001 (see below), and also shot Rais Uddin, a gas station attendant, blinding him.94 Stroman was tried and convicted of capital murder for killing Patel and sentenced to death on April 3, 2002.95 Waquar Hassan Waquar Hassan, a forty-six-year-old Pakistani and father of four, was killed while cooking hamburgers at his grocery store near Dallas, Texas on September 15, 2001. Although no money was taken from Hassan's store, police in Dallas initially believed that he was killed during a robbery because he had been robbed twice that year.96 Hassan's family, however, believed his murder was a hate crime because nothing was stolen by the assailant and the murder had occurred so soon after September 11.97 His family also pointed out that customers visiting Hassan's store after September 11 subjected him to ethnic and religious slurs.98 The case remained unsolved until Mark Stroman admitted to killing Hassan to a fellow prison inmate in January 2002.99 Murder charges against Stroman were dropped once he was convicted and sentenced to death for Vasudev Patel's murder.100 Ali Almansoop On September 17, 2001, Ali Almansoop, a forty-four year old Yemini Arab, was shot and killed in his home in Lincoln Park, Michigan after being awoken from his sleep by Brent David Seever. At the time of his murder, Almansoop was in bed with Seever's ex-girlfriend.101 Immediately before killing Almansoop, Seever said that he was angry about the September 11 terrorist attacks. Almansoop pleaded that he did not have anything to do with the attacks.102 Seever shot Almansoop anyway. Seever acknowledged to police investigators that he killed Almansoop in part because of anger related to September 11. Prosecutors chose to prosecute the matter as a murder, rather than a bias-motivated murder, because they believe Mr. Seever's motivation for murdering Almansoop was motivated in part by jealousy over Almansoop's relationship with is ex-girlfriend. Mr. Seever had been stalking his ex-girlfriend before the murder.103 Abdo Ali Ahmed On September 29, 2001, Abdo Ali Ahmed, a fifty-one-year-old Yemini Arab and Muslim, and father of eight, was shot and killed while working at his convenience store in Reedley, California.104Cash in two registers and rolled coins inside an open safe were left untouched. In addition, Ahmed's gun, which he kept for protection, reportedly remained in its usual spot, indicating that he may not have felt in mortal danger.105 Two days before his murder, Ahmed had found a note on his car windshield which stated, "We're going to kill all of you [expletive] Arabs."106 Instead of contacting the police, Ahmed threw the note away.107 Ahmed's family and local Muslim leaders have told the local press that they believe his killing was a hate crime.108 However, largely because no perpetrator or perpetrators have been found for whom a motive can be established, police have not classified the murder as a hate crime. California Governor Gray Davis offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of Ahmed's killers.109 At the time of this writing, the investigation into Ahmed's murder was stalled because police had run out of leads.110 Adel Karas On September 15, 2001, Adel Karas, a forty-eight-year-old Arab and Coptic Christian, and father of three, was shot and killed at his convenience store in San Gabriel, California. According to press reports, his wife, Randa Karas, believes he was murdered because he was mistaken for a Muslim. She points out that no money was taken from the cash register and that her husband had a thick wad of bills in his pocket. Local police told Human Rights Watch that they do not believe his murder was bias-motivated because there is no evidence to indicate anti-Arab or anti-Muslim bias. The murder remained unsolved at the time of this writing. 111 Ali W. Ali Ali W. Ali, a sixty-six-year-old Somali Muslim, died nine days after being punched in the head while standing at a bus stop in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 15, 2002.112 According to press reports, the only known witness to the attack saw the assailant walk up to Ali, punch him, stand over him, and then walk away.113 His son and Somali community members attributed the attack against Ali to anger created against Somalis by a front page local newspaper article that appeared two days before the attack.114 The article said that Somalis in Minneapolis had given money to a Somali terrorist group with links to Osama Bin Laden.115 After originally finding that Ali had died of natural causes, the Hennepin County medical examiner's office on January 8, 2002 ruled Ali's death a homicide.116 Ali's family regards his murder as a hate crime. Both local police and the FBI have been unable to find Ali's assailant.117 Assaults Violent assaults related to September 11 were numerous and widespread. A review by the South Asian American Leaders of Tomorrow (SAALT) of news articles published during the week following September 11 found reports of forty-nine September 11-related assaults.118 CAIR received 289 reports from Muslims of assaults and property damage incidents across the United States from September 11 until the second week of February.119 Issa Qandeel On the morning of September 13, 2001, Issa Qandeel, a Palestinian Muslim and an Arab, was leaving the Idriss Mosque in Seattle, Washington when he smelled gas near his jeep and saw a man, subsequently identified as Patrick Cunningham, come out from behind his jeep. Cunningham was carrying a can of gasoline and a gun. When Qandeel asked Cunningham what he was doing behind the jeep, Cunningham walked away. When Qandeel tried to stop him, Cunningham shot at Qandeel three times, although his gun did not discharge any bullets. Cunningham then started running away and Qandeel chased him. Cunningham shot at Qandeel again and this time a bullet did discharge, although it missed Qandeel. Cunningham was apprehended when he crashed his car trying to get away. Police later discovered that Cunningham planned to burn cars in the mosque driveway because of anger at the September 11 attacks. Federal authorities prosecuted Cunningham for attacking Qandeel and attempting to deface a house of worship. He pled guilty on May 9, 2002 and was scheduled to be sentenced on October 18, 2002. He faces a minimum of five years of incarceration.120 Kulwinder Singh On September 13, 2001, Raymond Isais Jr. allegedly assaulted Kulwinder Singh, a turbaned Sikh taxi worker, in SeaTac, Washington. After getting into the back seat of Singh's taxi, Isais told Singh, "You have no right to attack our country!" He then started choking Singh. After both men then got out of the taxi, Isais started punching Singh, pulled out tufts of his beard and knocked off his turban. Isais called Singh a terrorist during the assault. Local police were able to apprehend Isais Jr. the same day using a description provided by Singh. He was charged with a hate crime by local country prosecutors.121 Swaran Kaur Bhullar On September 30, 2001, Swaran Kaur Bhullar, a Sikh woman, was attacked by two men who stabbed her in the head twice as her car was idling at a red light in San Diego. The men shouted at her, "This is what you get for what you've done to us!" and "I'm going to slash your throat," before attacking her. As another car approached the traffic light, the men sped off. Bhullar felt that she would have been killed by the men if the other car had not appeared. She was treated at a local hospital for two cuts in her scalp and released later that same day. Local police and federal law enforcement officials have been unable to identify Bhullar's attackers.122 Faiza Ejaz On September 12, 2001, Faiza Ejaz, a Pakistani woman, was standing outside a mall in Huntington, New York waiting for her husband to pick her up from work. According to press reports, Adam Lang, a seventy-six-year-old man sitting in his car outside the mall, allegedly put his car in drive and started driving towards her. Ejaz was able to avoid the car by jumping out of the way and running into the mall. Lang then jumped out of his car and screamed that he was "doing this for my country" and was "going to kill her." Mall security agents seized Lang. Sergeant Robert Reecks, commander of the Suffolk County Bias Crimes Bureau, told reporters: "if she hadn't jumped out of the way, he would have run right over her."123 Lang was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, which requires an enhanced penalty if the crime is bias-motivated. FK On June 18, 2002, FK, an American Muslim woman who wears a hijab, was allegedly assaulted by a woman in a drug store near Houston, Texas. Before assaulting FK, the woman told her that she had learned about "you people" over the last ten months and doesn't trust "a single damn one of you." Before FK could get away from the woman, she slammed FK to the floor and began pulling at her headscarf, which had the effect of choking her. Though FK told the woman she could not breathe, she kept pulling at the headscarf. FK then pulled off her headscarf, in violation of her religious obligations in a desperate effort to alleviate the choking. The woman then dragged FK by her hair to the front of the store. When police arrived, the woman was holding FK by her ponytail on the front sidewalk of the store. She told police that she was making a citizen's arrest. The police told her to let FK go, at which point FK was able to put her headscarf back on. 124 Karnail Singh Karnail Singh is a Sikh man who owns a motel in SeaTac, Washington. In mid-October, 2001, John Bethel, a local vagrant who sometimes came into Singh's motel for coffee and food, told Singh, "You better go back to your country. We're coming to kick your ass." A few days later, on October 19, Bethel entered Singh's motel and shouted, "You still here? Go back to Allah!" before hitting Singh with a metal cane while he stood behind the counter in the motel lobby. Singh, who bled profusely from the blow, spent half a day in the hospital and required ten stitches on his head. Bethel was sentenced to nearly two years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon.125 Satpreet Singh On September 19, 2001, Satpreet Singh, a turbaned Sikh, was driving in the middle lane of a two lane highway in Frederick County, Maryland. A pickup truck pulled up close behind Singh and the driver started making profane gestures towards him. The pickup truck then moved alongside Singh's car on his left and the driver took out a rifle. Singh increased his speed to get away from the pickup truck. Seconds later he heard rifle shots. No bullets hit Singh or his car. The pickup truck then turned around and started traveling in the opposite direction. Singh filed a criminal complaint with the local police. At the time of this writing, local authorities have not been able to ascertain the identity of the person who shot at Singh.126 Place of Worship Attacks Mosques and places of worship perceived to be mosques appeared to be among the most likely places of September 11-related backlash violence. SAALT's survey of bias incidents reported in major news media found 104 bias incidents against places of worship reported during the first week after September 11.127 Of these 104 bias incidents, fifty-five were telephone threats, twenty-four involved harassment of mosque worshippers outside mosques, twenty-two involved property damage from vandalism, arson, or gun shots, and three were assaults on mosque worshipers.128 Arab churches, Sikh gurdwaras (houses of worship), and Hindu temples were also objects of backlash violence. The number of worshippers at the attacked mosques decreased for weeks following the attacks, apparently because of fear of additional violence.129 Although September 11 backlash violence against individual Arabs and Muslims decreased markedly by November 2001, attacks continued against mosques or houses of worship perceived to be Arab or Muslim. On November 19, 2001, four teenagers burned down the Gobind Sadan, a multi-faith worship center Oswego, New York, because they believed the worshippers were supporters of Osama Bin Laden.130 On March 25, 2002, a man who stated to police that he hated Muslims crashed his pickup truck into a mosque in Tallahassee, Florida thirty minutes after evening prayers.131On June 11, 2002, in Milipitas, California, vandals broke into a mosque under construction, scrawled derogatory remarks such as, "F- Arabs" and damaged the interior of a construction trailer near the mosque.132 On August 24, 2002, federal authorities announced they had discovered a plan by a doctor in Tampa Bay to bomb and destroy approximately 50 mosques and Islamic cultural centers in south Florida.133 The doctor's home contained rocket launchers, sniper rifles and twenty live bombs.134 Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Gurdwara On the night of September 11, 2001, somebody threw three Molotov cocktails into the Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Gurdwara, a Sikh house of worship in Bedford, Ohio. The Molotov cocktails started a small fire that was quickly extinguished by the gurdwara's caretakers. Two windows were also broken. A report was filed with local police. No one has been apprehended for the crime.135 Mosque Foundation of Bridgeview On September 12, 2001, over one hundred police officers were deployed to stop approximately three hundred protestors from marching on the mosque in Bridgeview, Illinois. The mosque is located in a neighborhood of mostly Arab and Muslim American families. Stopped two blocks from the mosque, the protestors then demonstrated for approximately three hours shouting anti-Arab and anti-Muslim insults such as "Arabs go home" and harassing passersby who looked Muslim or Arab. Similar protests, though smaller in size, were held over the next two days. Police from various jurisdictions cordoned off the area around the mosque, only allowing persons into the neighborhood who could prove they lived there. Many of the Muslim and Arab families remained in their homes for the next few days because they feared hostility once outside the police cordon. Scores of police protected the mosque during Friday prayers on September 14, 2001.136 Islamic Center of Irving, Texas On the night of September 12, 2001, someone fired at the Islamic Center of Irving, leaving thirteen to fourteen bullet holes in the building. The shots were fired after the evening prayer had ended and the building was empty. For the first two or three days after the attack, local police provided security for the mosque. Immediately after the attack, the imam reported a noticeable decline in prayer attendance. He estimated that daily prayer attendance dropped from 150 to thirty or forty persons. Friday prayers dropped from one thousand to five hundred persons. Mosque attendance normalized after a few weeks.137 St. John's Assyrian American Church On September 23, 2001, the St. John's Assyrian American Church was set on fire in Chicago, Illinois in the early morning, causing approximately $150,000 worth of damage. The fire was caused by someone who put a piece of paper through the church mail slot and then dropped a lit match onto it. Water from fire department fire extinguishers ruined holy pictures, carpeting, and floor tiles. According to the church's pastor, Reverend Charles Klutz, the person whom he believed set the fire had asked a local resident whether the church was a mosque. Reverend Klutz also stated that local police initially asked whether the church was a mosque when they first arrived at the church even though many crosses were located prominently on the church premises. Local police and federal authorities were investigating the cause of the fire at the time of this writing.138 Islamic Foundation of Central Ohio Sometime during the evening of December 29, 2001, vandals broke into the Islamic Foundation of Central Ohio in Columbus, Ohio. The vandals broke a bathroom pipe and clogged the sink, forcing it to overflow for hours; tore frames encasing religious verses off a wall; destroyed a chandelier in the main prayer hall; flipped over the pulpit; cut the wires of high-mounted speakers and amplifiers and threw them to the ground; tore posters off a mosque classroom wall; pulled down curtains and drapes; and tipped over bookcases and file cabinets in a classroom and threw approximately one hundred copies of the Quran onto the floor.139 Water from the stopped-up third-floor sink seeped into the second floor main prayer hall, causing plaster pieces from the main prayer hall ceiling to fall. A torn Quran and a smashed clock from the mosque were found in the mosque parking lot. The damage to the mosque was estimated at $379,000. The mosque was closed after the incident but planned to reopen in October 2002. Both local police and the FBI are conducting investigations.140 United Muslim Masjid On November 16, 2001, during an evening Ramadan prayer service, rocks were thrown through two windows of the United Muslim Masjid in Waterbury, Connecticut. Approximately thirty-five to forty people were in the mosque at the time. Local police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. Dr. Magdy Adbelhady, a member of the mosque, said that local police were responsive to mosque member concerns and seemed to be taking the matter seriously. He said that immediately after the attack on the mosque, mosque attendance had dropped but was now back to normal.141 Arson There have been press reports of more than fifteen arsons and attempted arsons that may be part of the post-September 11 backlash. 142 Local law enforcement agents believe that fires at six houses of worship were September 11-related hate crimes.143 The other press-documented cases of arson involved places of business owned or operated by Muslims, Arabs, or those perceived to be Muslim or Arab. There have been three convictions and one indictment thus far for September 11-related arsons.144 Curry in a Hurry Restaurant On September 15, 2001, James Herrick set fire to the Curry in a Hurry restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, causing minimal damage. Herrick admitted to setting the fire because he was angry over the September 11 attacks and knew the restaurant owners were from Pakistan. A federal district court in Utah sentenced him on January 7, 2001 to fifty-one months in jail.145 Prime Tires On September 16, 2001, someone allegedly set fire to Prime Tires, a Pakistani-owned auto mechanic shop located in an enclave of Pakistani businesses in Houston, Texas. The fire destroyed the store. The store had received threats immediately after September 11. Thus far, police have been unable to ascertain who started the blaze and the motive of the perpetrator.146 END

Maybe they can blame his “assault” bicycle. A Somali Muslim living in Sweden and dubbed “the bicycle man” has recently been arrested for attacking 21 random people, mostly women, in the Swedish city of Eskilstuna. Prosecutors say they have reason to fear that the migrant will continue committing crimes. Yet three-monkeys style — which is fashionable among Western authorities and media — they say the man’s motives “remain unclear.” Read the article here!

Our identities as Muslims are not immigrants, refugees, minorities, Bangladeshi Muslims, Somali Muslims, Arab Muslims, American/British Muslims, rather we are the proud Ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) with the same beliefs and collective aims. As mentioned, the Prophet (saw) said: "Islam will always be superior, and nothing will surpassed it" How does this statement contrast with the state of our dignity our honor today? We are the nation of Muhammad (pbuh), a nation that transcends any border and man made belief.

Things such as conspiracy theories, the slippery slope and exaggeration are no more given what's currently making news. In The Uncuckables studio tonight is Tim Wilms Editor of Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of The XYZ and Matty Rose from Matty's Modern Life. We begin the show distracted by Matty setting up the Entropy software for the show used on XYZ Live which allows users to send superchats, ask questions, and participate in polls.  The first meaty topic is transgender woman Jessica Yaniv who is suing 15 beauty salons in British Columbia, Canada for refusing to wax her penis and balls. It was also revealed Yaniv was promoting topless LGBT teenage swim sessions where parents would be banned. Pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has reportedly "attempted suicide" while in custody in New York. It has been suspected that powerful people implicated in his crimes may have had a hand in this incident. Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified before the US House of Representatives on his Russian collusion report. For someone who was supposed to bring down the President Mueller came across as a forgetful old fool. Somali Muslim member of the US House of Representatives Ilhan Omar has been unable to refute allegations she married her brother to commit immigration fraud. Laura Loomer also broke that he is also gay adding to the sham nature of the arrangement. We take a slight detour with Matty explaining to us how some Latino people are actually white. In the UK Boris Johnson is the new Prime Minister tasked with making Britain British again. Tommy Robinson is reportedly being treated better in prison this time around, he is in an isolation unit which also houses Julian Assange. The Daily Star reported that he had been decked in the shower. In Sweden a 10 year old has suggested the nation change its name to Blandland to reflect diversity. The political dispute between Hong Kong and the Chinese Communist Party spilled over to the University of Queensland this week with a punch on at its campus by opposing sides. We provide an update on leftist violence and abuse. EggGirl only received 150 hours community service for her attempted egging of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. The Portland police department has stood by their report that Antifa threw cement milkshakes at the Patriot Prayer rally last month. Clementine Ford and Catherine Deveny found themselves suspected from twitter for foul abuse of Lyle Shelton.

In this episode we talk with Khadra Mohamed about her experience growing up Somali in America. Khadra is a friend of ours and a young professional woman who works as a program coordinator for Girl Scouts ConnectZ bringing programming to girls in underrepresented communities. She has a degree in child psychology from the University of Minnesota and has worked with youth in lots of different ways. Outside of her work with girls Khadra loves going to concerts, sewing, journaling, and hanging out with her siblings. We had a great conversation about her experience growing up in the Somali-Muslim community in central New York, Ohio, and Minnesota, and some of the challenges she and her family have faced. Khadra and her parents and siblings moved to Minnesota to be closer to extended family and found a thriving community where she was able to connect with other Somalis and learn more about her culture and religion. But while the Somali community in the Twin Cities is strong, there are still lots of barriers and misconceptions. Our conversation got deep, and we learned so much from Khadra, but we still had our fun and funny moments :-) We learned from Khadra that on top of all the other hard things girls go through in middle and high school, Somali girls are navigating other identities that can make things tough and cause them to be targeted— like being black, Muslim, women, and wearing the hijab, a headscarf many Muslim women wear to connect to their religion. Khadra talks about how Somalis are storytellers and poets, how important it is to have the support of family and community and always have each other's backs, and the significance and deep love of good food! Our takeaways— Somali girls are smart, cool, and creative, and are a thriving, incredible force. We can support Somali girls in our own communities by reaching out with resources and opportunities. Girls can reach across cultures and learn about their peers and neighbors, breaking down the barriers that can keep us from making friends and supporting other girls. Not sure where to start? Do some research, learn about Somali culture, educate yourself! We all have things that make us unique, but also things in common. Reach out and find out what those things are! Check out this great blog post Khadra wrote on supporting Muslim girls to learn more. Stay tuned at the end for Would You Rather, then we'll feature a girl from one of Khadra's Girl Scout troops in Girls Pick!

More than a hundred years ago, a small group of Russian Mennonites went looking for Christ in Central Asia. They didn’t find him, but they did find a home among Muslims in Uzbekistan. Sofia Samatar tells their history in her new memoir, alongside her own story of growing up the daughter of a Somali Muslim and an American Mennonite.

When is a pirate not a pirate? That’s the question posed in a November 2013 article in the LA Times about the arrest and trial of Ali Mohamed Ali, an accused Somali pirate. Mr. Ali, as he’s known, was recruited by Somali pirates to negotiate the payment of a ransom and the release of hostages when the cargo vessel CEC Future was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden in 2008. After successfully serving as a mediator, Mr. Ali was lured into the US by US authorities with a bogus invitation to attend an education conference, and arrested and detained for 30 months leading up to his 2013 trial. What makes the case even more fascinating is that Mr. Ali, a Muslim, was represented pro bono by Matt Peed, a Christian attorney from Clinton Brook & Peed in Washington, DC. Matt joins us to talk about the case and share insights he gained over three years defending Mr. Ali.

Our autopilot system of thinking results in built-in biases based on race, religion or nationality that can then lead to misinformed decisions about people based on prejudices. For instance, the Ohio State knife attack by a Somali Muslim inspires natural and instinctive feelings of anger and fear in us around terrorism. How do we channel these feelings into an effective response that will help us be safer? In this radio interview, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, an Ohio State professor and expert in the role of emotions in political decision-making, provides some insights.

This edition of All Baggage All The Time features our amazing friend Luul! Inspired by a message from our tumblr follower sassypajonua about the intersection of tradition & culture with feminism and growing up in America; Luul shares with us her perspective about growing up in a Somali Muslim household and moving to the midwest and how she connects the two in everything from religion and her choices about how to practice, to dating, and friendship! It’s a dope conversation as we try to explore the connections in growing up in non-American households and how that affects the way we live our feminism/our truths/our ratchetdreams. As always thanks for listening!
