Islamists call for terror attacks on the streets of New York



Islamists have been swarming the streets of New York City, flying Palestinian flags and calling for terror attacks “stronger than ... the first October 7.”

“We did not act enough,” the protesters chanted. “If we acted enough, the headline behind me would read, ‘Gaza has been liberated.’”

“Our work is not done. We must show up stronger than we did the first October 7. To make it clear that we are not going anywhere. We will keep fighting until Palestine is free,” they yelled.

“If he hadn’t referenced October 7 ... you could say he’s just making a benign statement. No, no, actually. This is clearly, clearly a terroristic threat. ... And my opinion, I would hope that Pam Bondi and Donald Trump share that same opinion,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”


“You should not be allowed to come into my country and spew terroristic threats and not expect to get denaturalized and deported,” she says.

Gonzales points out that 9% of the residents in New York City are Muslim — which comes out to be nearly a whopping 750,000 Muslims.

“We’re almost to the point where we can’t put the genie back in the bottle. I think it’s time that we start talking about this and stop being afraid to hurt people’s feelings, especially when you talk about how they are infiltrating at the highest levels,” Gonzales says.

“How it is a fact that we have a Muslim Democrat socialist — which don’t get me started on how that all works — Zohran Mamdani, who is about to win the mayoral race in New York City in November. I mean, there’s basically no way he doesn’t win,” she continues.

“And the problem is that the tenets of Islam, the tenets of their holy book, completely contradict the tenets of this country and the tenets that this country was founded on,” Gonzales explains. “They are not compatible with one another, and it should not be controversial to say that.”

Dearborn mayor tells pastor he’s ‘not welcome’ after he criticizes street named after Hamas sympathizer



Last month, Ted Barham, a Christian pastor and longtime resident of Dearborn, Michigan — the city with the largest Arab population in the U.S. — bravely spoke out at a city council meeting about the ceremonial naming of two intersections after Osama Siblani.

Siblani is the publisher of Dearborn’s Arab American News and a prominent community leader.

Barham took issue with the city’s honoring of Siblani given his past remarks praising Hezbollah and Hamas as "freedom fighters.” At the meeting, he calmly but pointedly made his case, arguing that the city might as well have named the streets “Hamas Street” and “Hezbollah Street.”

Dearborn's Muslim mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, however, was enraged. He called Barham an "Islamophobe" unfit for the city, declaring him "not welcome here" and quipping that he would personally throw a city parade upon his departure.

On a recent episode of “LevinTV,” Mark Levin played the clip of the heated interaction.

“This is sick,” says Levin, condemning the lack of media coverage on this story.

The Arab takeover of Dearborn, he argues, mirrors the swell of Palestinians in places like Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, and Hebron, the burial site of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

“It wasn't that long ago that Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, was 80% Christian. Today ... less than 15% of the population of Bethlehem is Christian. It's Palestinian,” says Levin.

“Some time ago, many [in Hebron] were slaughtered by the Palestinians. The Palestinians took over the area, so the IDF has a significant force there to protect the 85 Jewish families who are still there,” he adds.

Levin recalls traveling to Hebron with his family: “We had to go there in a vehicle with a driver. The vehicle was armored, the driver was armed, and we had to stay close.”

He then connects Dearborn’s controversy to broader historical shifts, arguing that the biblical regions of Judea and Samaria, named in the Bible for their significance to the ancient Israelites, are improperly called the West Bank of Palestine today. He rejects this modern term, asserting it erases Jewish historical ties, much like the street naming in Dearborn overlooks problematic associations.

The “Islamists” in Dearborn stand with Hezbollah and Qatar, says Levin.

That means “they want the annihilation of Israel and the Jews and the annihilation of the United States.”

Remember the Battle of Lepanto



On September 16, 1571, the 212 ships of the Holy League set out from Messina, Sicily. The ships carried 40,000 sailors, 35,000 soldiers, and the hopes of Christian Europe. Led by Don John of Austria, they headed for the Gulf of Patras in Southern Greece.

Their target? The 278 war galleys and 67,000 men composing the war fleet of the Ottoman Empire under the command of Muezzinzade Ali Pasha. On October 7, the two armadas met in the largest naval engagement since the Battle of Salamis in 480 B.C. The result changed the course of history.

The wind was against the Christians, leaving them scrambling to form a line of battle before the Ottoman galleys closed in.

The Battle of Lepanto stands as a decisive point in a thousand-year conflict between Christian Europe and the Islamic empires of the east.

Rise of the Ottoman Empire

Islam began its expansion in 622. Only a hundred years later, it had conquered all of the Middle East and North Africa. The Christian cities of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Hippo, Tunis, and Carthage had fallen, as well as all of Spain.

The Crusades managed to slow and even push back some Islamic advances but were ultimately a failure. By 1291, the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land had fallen. The next 200 years saw the rise of the Ottoman Empire and the continued advance of Islam, culminating in the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the capture of the Balkans by 1475. The only bright spot was the Spanish Reconquista, returning the country to Christianity by 1492.

The 16th century started with more Christian defeats. Rhodes fell in 1522, and the Christian forces suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Preveza in 1538, ceding control of the Eastern Mediterranean to the Ottomans.

Famagusta falls

In 1565, something changed. Against all odds, the Knights Hospitaller held out during the Siege of Malta and handed the Ottomans their first real defeat in the Mediterranean. Then came the fateful year: 1571.

It did not start out well. Early in the year, Ottoman ships raided the Adriatic coast, venturing closer to Italy. In August, the fortress of Famagusta — the last Venetian stronghold on the island of Cypress — fell after a 10-month siege. After initially promising safe passage, the Ottomans slaughtered the remaining Venetian soldiers and subjected their leader, Marcantonio Bragadin, to brutal public torture and execution.

The Holy League

Meanwhile, Pope Pius V had called together the Holy League — an alliance of Christian forces, including the Spanish Empire, the Republic of Venice, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Papal States. Led by Don John of Austria, the League assembled its armada at Messina. The night before they set out, Don John ordered the celebration of holy Mass and the hearing of confessions throughout the fleet. Pius V granted a plenary indulgence to all who took part in the campaign and gave a consecrated papal standard to Don John, who flew it from his flagship, the Real.

The soldiers and sailors of the Holy League had no doubts about the nature of their mission. Every ship in the fleet had a crucifix prominently displayed aboard, as well as images of the Virgin Mary and other religious items.

Legend has it that a copy of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a gift from the Archbishop of Mexico, was carried aboard a Spanish galley. Bolstered by faith and incensed by the news of the Ottoman brutality at Cypress, the Holy League set out from Messina and reached the Gulf of Patras on October 6.

Preparing for battle

The next day, the two armadas slowly moved toward one another, creeping across the waters of the narrow strait between the Gulfs of Patras and Corinth. Hundreds upon hundreds of ships were arrayed in lines, stretching for miles, as the two fleets closed in. Banners fluttered as the rowers moved the galleys forward. Prayers were uttered as the thousands of soldiers, gunners, and sailors prepared for battle. The wind was against the Christians, leaving them scrambling to form a line of battle before the Ottoman galleys closed in.

Meanwhile, back in Rome, Pius V prayed without ceasing. He had called upon all of Europe to join him in praying the rosary, imploring the Blessed Mother to aid the Christian forces in battle. On October 7, he led a procession through the streets of Rome, praying the rosary with the people of the city.

At Lepanto, the two fleets drew closer and the wind shifted in favor of the Christians, allowing them to take their positions before reaching the enemy. As the two fleets clashed, the Christian strategy paid off immediately. The Venetians, experienced sailors filled with rage at the treatment of their compatriots at Famagusta, shattered the Ottoman line and threw the fleet into disarray. In the center, the six galleasses — newer, large ships with heavy armaments — dealt crushing damage to the more vulnerable Ottoman galleys, breaking up their formations and allowing the Christian galleys to ram and board them.

Our Lady of Victory

In four hours, it was all over. The fury of the Venetian attack decimated the left wing, and the center collapsed under the relentless fire from the galleasses and the ferocity of the soldiers disgorged from the Christian galleys. The climax of the battle came when the Ottoman flagship Sultana rammed the Real and fierce hand-to-hand fighting broke out. The Real was in danger of falling when the papal commander, Marcantonio Colonna, brought his galley alongside and mounted a counterattack. Ali Pasha was killed, and the papal standard was hoisted over the captured Sultana.

New of the victory reached Pius V as he was praying the rosary in the Church of San Sabina, according to his biographer. He is said to have wept with joy and pronounced, "There was a man sent from God whose name was John" in reference to John 1:6. The pope ordered immediate celebrations, Masses in thanksgiving, the ringing of bells across the city, and the singing of the Te Deum.

Crediting the intercession of the Virgin Mary for the victory, Pius V established October 7 as the Feast of Our Lady of Victory. Today, it is celebrated as the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary.

The defeat was crushing for the Ottomans: 187 ships destroyed or captured, over 20,000 men dead. Although they rebuilt their fleet, they never managed to pose another serious threat to the Western Mediterranean.

The struggle between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire was far from over. It would be another 112 years before the land-battle equivalent of Lepanto — the Battle of Vienna — would signal the end of Ottoman expansion. Lepanto, however, served as a critical turning point, showing that Europe, when united under its Christian faith, could drive back a seemingly invincible foe.

Zeal for Christ

The lessons of the Battle of Lepanto are simple yet profound: Remember our heroes, honor their accomplishments, and never forget the source of their strength and zeal.

The heroes of Christendom were bold men who achieved the impossible against overwhelming odds. From Charles Martel’s ragged band turning back the Islamic conquest of Spain and beginning the 781-year Reconquista to King John Sobieski III’s thunderous cavalry charge that broke the siege of Vienna, these were leaders of courage and conviction.

Yet more important than the men themselves was the source of their victories: their Christian faith. Constantine’s soldiers bore the cross of Christ on their shields; centuries later, the sailors at Lepanto displayed the same cross on their ships. It was that faith that gave them strength to fight and to win — and it is that same faith that can give us strength to face and triumph over our own battles today, great or small.

The DARK past of Ilhan Omar's father and how he came to America



According to journalist Ashley Rindsberg, information about Ilhan Omar’s father and his alleged role in Somalia’s Marxist-Leninist Siad Barre regime was long dismissed by mainstream outlets as conspiracy theory.

But as Rindsberg tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, the evidence paints a different picture — one the press seemed determined to bury.

“The Omars were brought or came to America under a refugee program. It gave them a special ability to enter the U.S. and to have their pathway to citizenship. And that was presuming that they were not serving in the military or the genocidal military of the country which they came from,” Rindsberg tells Wheeler.

However, Rindsberg explains that this turned out to be the case.


“This was something that was buried by the so-called fact-checking industry and the mainstream media. They called it ‘misinformation.’ They called it an anti-Muslim smear. But the reality is that Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel in the Siad Barre regime, a Marxist-Leninist regime responsible for genocide of a neighboring tribe,” he says.

“And he was a senior official in that very regime,” he adds.

“And yet he denied association with that government and claimed he was trying to escape it?” Wheeler chimes in.

“He cast himself as a so-called teacher trainer. This was the term that kept coming up,” Rindsberg says.

While the media acted as though his so-called position as a “teacher trainer” was a noble and harmless pursuit, Wheeler notes that the term sounds like a major “red flag” when “that person comes from a Marxist regime.”

“That phrase in and of itself is not convincing to me; that’s almost laughable,” she says.

When Omar’s father passed away in 2020, Rindsberg explains that there were “a lot of obituaries in local Somali-language and English-language outlets in Minnesota claiming and celebrating the fact that he was a colonel in the regime.”

“They were not ashamed of it. They thought this was something to be proud of,” he adds.

From Dearborn to DC: Mark Levin warns of enemies eroding our heritage



Whether you celebrate Christmas and Easter or Rosh Hashanah and Passover, read the Bible or the Torah, go to church or to the synagogue, these traditions trace their origins to the ancient Middle East, a region Mark Levin passionately defends as central to our shared faith and heritage.

If we cherish these time-honored traditions and want to continue practicing them freely, then we need to understand that a very real enemy lives and breathes to see them crushed.

“They are people who want to destroy [our traditions], and they want to destroy us ... and if they get their way, that's the plan," Levin warns.

The enemy he speaks of is primarily Iran, whose nuclear ambitions and network of terrorist proxies, like Hamas, along with Qatar’s financial influence, threaten everything the West values.

And yet, we have Democrats, RINOs, and grifters in this country who are aiding and abetting the enemy.

Whether it's Dearborn, Michigan, attempts to establish a Sharia-governed city in Texas, growing anti-American sentiment in parts of New Jersey, a New York City mayoral candidate or Virginia’s lieutenant governor candidate sympathetic to radical causes, CAIR and Students for Justice in Palestine acting as Hamas front groups, or Qatar’s billions buying off American institutions, Levin warns these are vivid threats to our cherished traditions enabled by complicit leadership.

“The only thing that can stop it is you and me,” he says.

“That's why when ... grifters out there, podcasters, and others, use a platform like mine to lie about the president, to lie about the prime minister of Israel, to give aid and comfort to this enemy, I speak out.”

The amount of “crap” he gets for this is sometimes overwhelming, but Levin’s resolve is iron. “So be it,” he shrugs.

“And I will continue to speak out because [we’re] red-blooded Americans. We're not the French; we're not the British ... and we will stand up to this. We're people of faith, not fundamentalists.”

“We don't seek to destroy people who disagree with us. We don't seek to destroy anybody, but we will defend ourselves — just as the Israelis do, just as our president, our historic iconic leader, defends us today,” he encourages.

Controversy erupts after Muslim cleric denies Christian pastor access to DFW airport chapel



A well-known Christian pastor was physically blocked from entering an airport chapel last week.

Tom Ascol, the president of Founders Ministries, was returning home after visiting the family of Voddie Baucham Jr., a popular American pastor who recently passed away.

'Beyond the entry were two stalls with water faucets for ablution.'

While awaiting his flight home at the Dallas-Forth Worth airport, Ascol said he heard a public address across the airport that Terminal D was offering a prayer service and that "all are welcome."

With very minimal expectations, Ascol proceeded in hopes that "someone might read Scripture during the service."

Upon his arrival, the pastor found the "interfaith chaplaincy" to be completely ensconced in Islamic tradition.

"My departure gate was near there, so I walked over and saw the entry lined with Muslim prayer mats," Ascol told Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, executive producer for Glenn Beck.

"Beyond the entry were two stalls with water faucets for ablution. They had signs saying that the stalls were not to be used for showers. The main room had several men kneeling on mats, with a Muslim imam in the far corner and a man praying aloud a Muslim prayer near the door," Ascol explained.

Ascol said he looked through the door and realized that the prayer service the public was invited to was, "in fact, Muslim prayers."

Still, Ascol waited until the audible prayer was finished to try and enter the room and observe. Despite the sign outside the door declaring "all are welcome," the man who was praying out loud allegedly determined he was within his rights to stop Ascol from entering.

"He quickly came and blocked my entrance as the imam started speaking about the prophet Muhammad," Ascol told Ratliff-Fellman. "He said there was a chair in the back for me but that I must take off my shoes."

Ascol explained that when he tried to step farther toward the door, the man shifted to stand directly in front of him. The pastor said it felt like he was not welcome in the interfaith chapel unless he abided by Islamic rules and "removed his shoes."

"I had no energy to press the issue of the dishonesty of the announcement," Ascol said, adding that he simply took pictures and walked away.

Ratliff-Fellman reached out to DFW Interfaith Chaplaincy, which said it had recently become aware of a "disheartening claim posted on social media that a traveler was allegedly denied entry, or felt unwelcome, during a Muslim prayer service held in one of our airport chapels."

"We take that claim seriously," Reverend Greg McBrayer told Ratliff-Fellman.

The executive director said that those at the chaplaincy "never refuse others from observing any service, or place requirements or restrictions on entering the space during any services."

McBrayer said his group immediately investigated the claims with an unnamed Muslim cleric, who is their "longest-standing chaplain and a person who upholds our shared values of inclusive, shared spaces."

But the director said the cleric was not aware of the incident and that it was not brought to his attention until after the post was made online.

"Our cleric was shocked and saddened at this claim," McBrayer stated.

The reverend went on, "Had he been made aware of the alleged encounter, he would have made clear that the space is open and available to all people with no restrictions on entry."

McBrayer added that the chapel has been used for five decades, offering various services that are "brief and all inclusive."

"We want our airport community to know that we are shaken by this incident, which would run counter to our core mission, values, and beliefs that all are welcome in our spaces," he noted in his comments.

In his remarks to Ratliff-Fellman, the reverend did not deny the incident, nor was the Muslim cleric named.

Following the events, Ascol said it has only provoked him to pray more diligently.
