When Focus on Western Islamism (FWI) called Salaheddin Fahmy, the outreach coordinator of the Islamic Center of Passaic County to follow up on an email inquiring about Muhammad Qatanani’s case, Fahmy declared he would respond to the email with two words.

“The first word will begin with ‘F,’ and the second word will begin with ‘Y,’” he said.

Tarek Mehanna was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for conspiring to kill Americans and providing material support to Al Qaeda. He praised jihad, justified violence, and spewed antisemitic conspiracy theories — even while behind bars. He mocked dead U.S. and Israeli soldiers on Facebook after his release.

A mosque on Staten Island has enlisted his help in teaching young children in its congregation.

BREAKING: Former Alberta Human Rights Commission Chief Sues Islamist Advocacy Group for Defamation

In a landmark legal battle, Collin May—the former head of the Alberta Human Rights Commission—is suing the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) for defamation. This is the first case of its kind in Canada, targeting the growing influence of Islamist pressure groups that wield increasing sway over public institutions.

May’s lawsuit follows his forced resignation after NCCM publicly smeared him as “Islamophobic”—despite May’s consistent record of supporting religious freedom and condemning extremism.

This case could reshape the boundaries between advocacy, defamation, and ideological coercion in Canadian public life.

🛑 **Britain’s new “Faith Minister” just kissed the ring — and not in a metaphorical way.**

On February 22, Lord Wajid Khan, recently appointed by Labour to promote “faith and cohesion,” bent the knee (and lips) to Maulana Tariq Jamil, a radical Deobandi preacher linked to Tablighi Jamaat — a movement banned in Saudi Arabia for being *too extreme*.
