    Brothers Sentenced In $1.4M Welfare-For-Cash Scheme At Maine Halal Market


    Start the denaturalization process.
    Via BDN:
    The former owner of a Portland halal market who, with his brother, traded $1.4 million in federal food benefits for cash was sentenced Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court to three years in prison.
    The federal prosecutor called the case “one of the largest, if not the largest, fraud cases involving [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] benefits in [Maine].”
    Ali Ratib Daham, 41, of Westbrook, who originally owned Ahram Halal Market, 630 Forest Ave., pleaded guilty in November to one count each of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, money laundering and theft of government funds.
    A halal market under different ownership still operates at that address.
    Daham remains free on bail until July 18, when he must report to a prison assigned by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
    His brother, Abdulkareem Daham, 23, was sentenced Monday morning to two years in prison. He was convicted after a three-day jury trial in January of conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to court documents.
    The older brother was ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution, while the younger was ordered to pay up to $955,000, according to their attorneys. The restitution order states that the men are equally responsible for payments but the younger brother’s payments are capped.
    Ali Daham already has paid $80,000 toward restitution, according to court documents.
    In addition to prison time, both men were sentenced to three years of supervised release.
    In sentencing the older brother, U.S. District Court D. Brock Hornby, who himself is a naturalized citizen, said there were “no winners in a case like this.”
    “By sentencing two brothers, I realize I’m creating great pain for this family,” he said. “I’m also creating great pain for the immigrant community, as many members have told me he was a great helper to them. Sadly, he was a helper to them by defrauding the government.”

    DNC Vice Chair Keith Ellison: “Muslims Can Prepare Pork For Infidels, It Will Send Them To Hell And Make Allah Happy”…


    Nice.
    Via KSTP:
    Republican Rep. Steve King says he asked Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison — a Muslim — about Muslims working in Iowa pork processing plants.
    In an interview posted Friday by Breitbart News radio, King says he didn’t know whether Muslims would handle pork, so he “talked with Keith Ellison about that, who would be the lead Muslim in Congress.”
    King says he learned an imam would need to grant someone a “special dispensation.”
    He adds that it would be OK because “as long as they’re preparing this pork for infidels, they’ll send them to hell and it must make Allah happy.”
    King adds that, “I don’t want people doing my pork who won’t eat it.”
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    In Chicago And Elsewhere, Latinos Converting To Islam


    Via Chicago Sun Times:
    Standing shoulder to shoulder inside a community center in Morton Grove, Muslim men and boys bowed their heads in prayer. Behind them, women and girls prayed along, some with faces covered, some just their heads.
    At the same moment, Muslims around Chicago and the world faced Mecca and prayed to Allah. They repeated the pattern of standing, kneeling, bending their foreheads to the ground, uttering prayers.
    It was Ramadan — the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims fast and devote themselves to prayer, giving to the less fortunate and nourishing relationships. At the end of their fast each day, they ate an iftar — breaking their fast.
    At this iftar in Morton Grove, Arabic, Urdu and English were spoken by Muslims whose roots traced to India, Pakistan, Jordan and Palestine. Soon, Spanish could also be heard.
    Alongside the traditional Pakistani and Indian dishes — daal, butter chicken and endless naan — were Mexican dishes like molé y arroz.
    It was a slice of the Muslim world that’s often overlooked — people whose families are from Mexico, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Peru.
    There are no precise figures on how many Latino Muslims live in the Chicago area, where the population is about 30 percent Latino. But, according to various estimates, the 130 mosques in the city and suburbs are the spiritual home to a small but growing group of converts — Latino Muslims.
    According to Aaron Siebert-Llera, an attorney with the Inner-City Muslim Action Network who is the current director of the Latino American Dawah Organization, the black Muslim population has been the predominant Muslim group in Chicago. During the 1960s and 1970s, Siebert-Llera says, the South Asian and Arab Muslim populations grew, separately on the North and Southwest Sides.
    As with other immigrant groups, different communities tended to have their own places of worship.
    “It’s just based on how Chicago has always been — a very divided city,” he says. “Muslim immigrants kind of followed the same pattern. These communities have all segmented themselves. Latinos are the same way. They stay in the neighborhoods where they’re comfortable.”
    Siebert-Llera says Latino Muslims around Chicago tend to be more dispersed than they are in other cities. In Houston, for example, the Centro Islámico mosque opened in 2016 to serve Latino populations.

    Obama Admin Granted Citizenship To 2,500 Iranians With Nuclear Deal: Iran Official


    Via Fox News:
    The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.
    Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.
    He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.
    He claimed that the deal was made during negotiations for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached in July 2015. President Trump announced in May that the U.S. would withdraw from the agreement.
    “When Obama, during the negotiations about the JCPOA, decided to do a favor to these men, he granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians and some officials started a competition over whose children could be part of these 2,500 Iranians,” he claimed.

    Virginia: Convert to Islam who discussed joining the Islamic State gets 20 years for obstruction of justice and child porn

    Jul 8, 2018 4:49 pm By Robert Spencer 11 Comments
    Where did Sean Andrew Duncan get the idea to do all these things? Could these ideas have had anything to do with his new, peaceful religion? Could it be from Islam that he got the idea that murdering non-Muslims was a righteous act (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, and 9:5)? And that prepubescent children could be objects of erotic interest, in light of the fact that Muhammad, the supreme model of conduct for Muslims, consummated his marriage with the nine-year-old Aisha when he was 54?

    “‘I was a poser,’ says young man caught with Islamic State propaganda and child porn,” by Rachel Weiner, Washington Post, July 6, 2018:
    When the FBI knocked on his front door in December, Sean Duncan says, he ran out the back carrying a thumb drive full of child pornography. He broke it in half and doused it in cleaning solution.
    But in a sign of how strange his criminal case has been, prosecutors say he might be lying in an effort to conceal ties to terrorism or information on the death of his son.
    U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema on Friday sentenced Duncan to 20 years in prison and a lifetime of supervision, the maximum allowed under his plea agreement to charges of obstruction of justice and receipt of child pornography.
    The FBI was at the 22-year-old’s Sterling, Va., home that December day because of his interest in radical Islam and the Islamic State, not child pornography. He also remains under investigation by authorities in Pennsylvania after the death of his infant son in June 2017, according to court papers.
    Prosecutors in federal court in Alexandria said that in the months before his arrest, Duncan was simultaneously looking up child pornography and information on terrorism. In one instance, they said, he took a sexually explicit photograph of an infant relative while changing her diaper.
    “I don’t know which is the more serious of the two,” Brinkema said in court Friday — the crimes against children or the interest in terrorism.
    “There’s a huge gap in all the information,” she added, because the contents of the thumb drive were never recovered.
    In court papers, prosecutors said Duncan was still probably hiding something.
    “The investigators believe that he . . . has withheld important information,” assistant U.S. attorneys Colleen Garcia and Gordon Kromberg wrote.
    Defense attorneys said Duncan had, on the contrary, been completely forthcoming with law enforcement and has begun confronting untreated mental health problems and trauma.
    “Young, lonely and isolated, he was particularly susceptible to . . . the dark underbelly of the Internet,” public defender Elizabeth Mullin said in court.
    But his interest “never resulted in any concrete plan to fight or commit a terrorist attack,” she added, and there is no evidence he shared the pornographic photo he took with anyone….
    “I was a poser,” Duncan wrote in a letter to the court.
    In court Friday, Garcia pointed out that at least one Islamic State recruiter Duncan dealt with was a man, and Duncan repeatedly discussed traveling to Syria….
    Prosecutors saw in that same conversation reason to take Duncan seriously as a threat, citing his reference to “referrals” that help people join the Islamic State.
    “I’m seeking to change and better myself,” Duncan said in court Friday. “I apologize to everybody I’ve hurt.”
    He said he understood now “the kids in the pictures are real” and added, “I also renounce ISIS.”
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    “As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”

    A North Carolina Inmate Signed Up For Ramadan Fast, Now He’s Suing Because He Got Hungry


    He didn’t read the fine print when he converted.
    Via Charlotte Observer:
    During a holy month when he was supposed to be fasting, a Muslim inmate in the Mecklenburg County Jail still wanted his lunch.
    So Travaile Speller has sued, claiming that his jailers and the Mecklenburg Sheriff’s Office discriminated against his religious practice by forcing him to eat only two meals each day during Ramadan.
    “That is clearly depriving me of necessary calories, as well as the recommend(ed) daily volume of nutrients that my body requires to function normally,” Speller says in his hand-written complaint. “They are intentionally eliminating one whole meal (lunch) which is cruel and unusual punishment directed towards all Muslims.”
    There’s just one problem: During Ramadan (which took place this year from May 15 to June 15), practicing Muslims are limited to two meals each day. Those are known as suhoor, which can be eaten before dawn, and iftar, which is served after sunset.
    The daylight hours are off limits for food, drink and sex, a month-long ban that would appear to cover Speller’s lost lunches.
    “They withheld his lunch during Ramadan? They were supposed to withhold it during Ramadan,” said Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Charlotte and a member of Sheriff Erwin Carmichael’s faith advisory board.
    “The jail was doing him a favor and actually respecting his faith.”
    Both approved Ramadan meals were provided to any Mecklenburg inmate who registered in advance to observe the fast, according to the copy of the sign-up form included with Speller’s lawsuit. Speller added his name to the list on April 30, court documents show.
    As written, the form serves as almost a step-by-step guide on how to adhere to the four weeks of fasting. Inmates would remain on the approved list of Ramadan observers as long as they accepted the suhoor meal, did not drink fluids or eat commissary items during the day, and did not join the lunch line, the sheriff’s office said.
    In other words, they had to fast.

    AP: Record Number of Muslims Running for U.S. Office

    ‘Numbers not seen since before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001’

    More Muslim Americans are currently running for government office than at any other time since Sept. 11, 2001, the Associated Press reported Monday.
    Islamic advocacy groups say as many as 90 Muslims are vying for positions on both the national and statewide level this election cycle.
    Recent primaries, however, have lessened that number to roughly 50, according to Jetpac, a nonprofit that trains Muslim-Americans for office.



    “Nine candidates for Congress are still in the running… At least 18 others are campaigning for state legislature and 10 more seek major statewide and local offices, such as governor, mayor and city council,” the AP writes, citing Jetpac statistics. “Even more are running for more modest offices like local planning board and school committee.”
    The report also notes that Michigan, a state with one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, has at least seven Muslims on its Aug. 7 ballot.
    Numerous Muslim reportedly cited the recent win by New York Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “anti-Muslim policies” as the reason behind their campaigns.
    While the majority of Muslims candidates have aligned with the Democratic party, 36-year-old Omar Qudrat is running for Congress as a Republican from San Diego.
    When questioned about “Islamaphobia” recently, Qudrat opted to instead focus on the issues of the race.
    “Running for public office is about advancing the interests of your constituents and the American people,” a statement from Qudrat said. “Nothing else.” Only two Muslims, Michigan Rep. Keith Ellison and Indiana Rep. Andre Carson, have ever been elected to the U.S. Congress.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    “As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
