Last week, my home state of Michigan witnessed something truly terrifying: a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">terrorist attack</a> at a house of worship. The attacker drove a vehicle filled with explosives into a synagogue in West Bloomfield, a suburb of Detroit, just a few hours outside of my district.
Thankfully, on-site security personnel quickly intervened — stopping the terrorist and preventing any injury to the innocent children or staff inside. I am grateful to these guardians for responding quickly to safeguard those innocent lives, and I pray for the recovery of those injured in stopping this despicable attack.
This attack, however, isn’t an isolated incident. It is part of a broader and deeply troubling rise in antisemitism that has spread across our country since the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel.
Nowhere is that rise more evident than on our college campuses.
Students have been whipped into an activist frenzy targeting Israel and the Jewish people.
Rather than stamping out the antisemitic fervor, faculty are fanning the flames. Many campus leaders seem completely unwilling to do anything about it.

On campuses across the nation — regardless of size or location — student groups are organizing to harass and intimidate Jewish students. Groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) are the ringleaders, often with the backing of similar faculty organizations.
At Columbia University, antisemitic demonstrators stormed a library, disrupted students, and chanted slogans like “from the river to the sea.” Eden Yadegar, my guest to President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress last year, described it as “disrupting one of the most basic functions of the university.”
All too often, this chaos leads to violence. The House Committee on Education and Workforce — of which I am the <a href="https://edworkforce.house.gov/">chairman</a> — heard from Michael Kaminsky, a student at DePaul University and a first-generation American who was assaulted by masked attackers for his efforts to promote dialogue about Israel and the Jewish faith. He was left with a fractured wrist, and his friend was knocked unconscious.
This is not what college should be. Students should be focused on learning and growing — not fearing harassment or assault because of their identities.
These actions are not happening in a vacuum. They are being encouraged — sometimes openly — by faculty.
At Haverford College, Tarik Aougab — a member of Haverford Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) — labeled pro-Israel students as “racist genocidaires” while praising the October 7 attacks as “a historic moment.”
At the University of California, Berkeley, a professor posted that he “could have been one of those who broke the siege.”
At MIT, former linguistics professor Michel DeGraff accused a student of having a Zionist “mind infection.”

This kind of rhetoric has consequences.
Let’s be clear: for many Jewish Americans, Israel is central to their identity. When students are targeted under the guise of “anti-Zionism,” the line between activism and antisemitism is not just crossed — it’s erased.
And yet, too many university leaders have failed to meet this moment.
Time and again, university presidents have come before this Committee and refused to take responsibility. They hedge, they equivocate, and they fail to enforce even their own rules.
The result is what we see today: antisemitism that is spreading, intensifying, and, in some cases, turning violent.
My Committee has released a report documenting just how serious this problem has become.
The findings are clear: weak leadership, radical faculty, and emboldened student groups have created an environment where antisemitism festers — and Jewish students are paying the price.
This cannot continue.

European authorities are investigating an overnight explosion that struck a Jewish school in Amsterdam, the latest in what officials say is a troubling string of Islamic attacks targeting Jewish communities across the West.
The blast struck the exterior wall of a Jewish school in the Buitenveldert neighborhood, widely regarded as the Dutch capital’s modern Jewish quarter and home to synagogues, kosher restaurants, and religious schools. Authorities said the explosion caused minor structural damage, charring part of the outer wall and damaging a rainpipe, but no injuries were reported.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jewish-school-amsterdam-attack-explosion/">condemned</a> the incident as a deliberate act of intimidation against the city’s Jewish population. “This is a cowardly act of aggression towards the Jewish community,” Halsema said, adding that additional security will be deployed around Jewish institutions throughout the city.
Dutch police say investigators have obtained images of the suspect believed to have detonated the device, though no arrests have been announced.
The incident comes amid a surge of antisemitic attacks in Europe. Earlier this week, an explosive device ignited a fire at a synagogue entrance in Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city. <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/03/13/dutch-police-arrest-four-over-rotterdam-synagogue-fire_6751421_4.html#:~:text=On%20Monday%2C%20an%20explosion%20shook,potentially%20jihadist%20video%20claiming%20responsibility.">Police later arrested four teenage suspects</a> nearby after officers spotted a vehicle driving erratically near another synagogue.
In <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-liege-synagogue-antisemitic-attack/">Liège, Belgium</a>, a synagogue was also struck by an explosion earlier in the week, an attack local officials described as antisemitic.
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said the Amsterdam bombing would prompt renewed security consultations with Jewish leaders. “There must be no place for antisemitism in the Netherlands,” Jetten said in a post on <a href="https://x.com/MinPres/status/2032724208963186982">social media</a>. “I understand the anger and fear and will quickly engage in talks with the Jewish community. They must always feel safe in our country.”
The European incidents come as authorities in the United States are also grappling with a series of threats and attacks linked to extremist ideologies targeting Jewish institutions.
However, the trend of antisemitic and general Islamist violence was not contained to just Europe. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Police+Respond+To+Reports+Of+Active+Shooter+As+Michigan+Synagogue+Goes+Up+In+Smoke">In Michigan</a>, a gunman rammed a vehicle into Temple Israel, the largest Reform Jewish congregation in the United States, before opening fire. The attacker was killed in a shootout with armed security, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which described the incident as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.
Authorities said the synagogue’s security team engaged the attacker after he drove a vehicle through the building’s entrance, sparking a fire and filling parts of the synagogue with smoke. No congregants were killed, though one security guard was injured after being struck by the attacker’s vehicle.
The Michigan attack came shortly after a separate act of terrorism at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gunman-opens-fire-injures-two-at-old-dominion-university">Old Dominion University</a> in Norfolk, Virginia, where a gunman identified as Mohammad Bailor Jalloh opened fire inside an academic building. Three people were wounded and one later died from their injuries. Officials said Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier previously convicted of supporting the terror group Islamic State, was killed at the scene.
Then earlier in March, there was an attempted bombing in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-opens-terror-probe-after-homemade-bombs-in-nyc-linked-to-isis">New York City</a> in which two suspects deployed improvised explosive devices outside Gracie Mansion during competing protests. Authorities said the devices contained triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, an explosive compound frequently used in terrorist attacks.
According to investigators, the suspects allegedly admitted they were inspired by ISIS propaganda. The case has been taken over by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Security officials have <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2026/03/12/iran-war-fuels-further-threats-to-europes-jewish-communities-experts-warn">warned</a> that Jewish institutions remain frequent targets for extremists, particularly during periods of heightened geopolitical tension involving Israel and Iran. For Jewish communities in Amsterdam and beyond, the latest explosion underscores fears that synagogues, schools, and community centers remain symbolic targets for violent actors.
Authorities say the investigation into the Amsterdam attack remains ongoing.

The man who targeted Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on Thursday has been identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a Lebanese national who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2016 under the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2032250045756498058">confirmed</a> to The Daily Wire.
Ghazali ran his car into Temple Israel, the largest Reform Judaism congregation in the United States, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">opened fire</a> with a rifle on Thursday. He was pronounced dead at the scene after the synagogue&#8217;s security engaged him with gunfire.
Ghazali was born in Lebanon in 1985 and first entered the United States in 2011 on an immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen, the Department of Homeland Security said. After he applied for naturalization in October 2015, he was granted citizenship in February 2016. 
One security guard was injured as a result of being struck by the attacker’s vehicle, but is in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">stable condition</a>. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard confirmed that no one else was injured in the attack. Temple Israel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">runs</a> a drive-thru food pantry on Thursdays and has a preschool that was in session. The synagogue said on Thursday that “all 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe.”
The attack comes amid a heightened concern over terror attacks after President Donald Trump launched &#8220;Operation Epic Fury&#8221; in Iran. Abroad, at least 11 U.S. soldiers have been killed during the operation, with about 140 others wounded.
Trump was briefed on Wednesday on the possibility of Iranian sleeper cells being activated in the United States. The president responded, “We know where most of them are. We have our eyes on all of them — I think.&#8221; 
This week alone, two men who pledged their allegiance to ISIS attempted to throw a bomb into a crowd of protesters, and at least one person was killed in another shooting at Old Dominion University.
The Old Dominion University shooter was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/old-dominion-university-gunman-identified-as-ex-national-guardsman-turned-isis-operative?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Old+Dominion+University+Gunman+Identified+As+Ex-National+Guardsman+Turned+ISIS+Operative">identified</a> as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS, according to multiple reports.
Jalloh, 36, discussed plans to carry out a Fort Hood-style attack with a government informant he believed was an ISIS terrorist, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/ex-national-guard-member-from-virginia-sentenced-to-11-years-for-terrorism-after-supporting-isis/35484/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NBC4 Washington. Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years behind bars and an additional five years of supervised release.
He was let out early in December 2024, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-news/old-dominion-university-gunman-idd-as-former-national-guardsman-convicted-of-plotting-attack-to-support-islamic-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the New York Post.
Jalloh, who is a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone, stormed into a classroom on Thursday and asked if it was an ROTC course, according to the New York Post. When someone confirmed that it was, he opened fire, shooting the professor several times.
The professor, a retired military officer, died at the hospital, according to the news outlet. One of the students heroically stabbed Jalloh to death to stop him from harming others.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on X that one person is dead and two others were wounded in the shooting.

In the immediate aftermath of an attempted terrorist attack by young supporters of radical Islam outside Gracie Mansion, Mayor Zohran Mamdani chose to tell the world which side he’s on. And it’s definitely not on the side of the cops and protesters who would’ve died in an explosion the young radicals hoped would cause death and destruction &#8220;even bigger&#8221; than the Boston Marathon bombing. No – it’s on the side of radical Islam, the kind supported by his virulent anti-Israel activist friend Mahmoud Khalil.
“Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together,” Mamdani posted. 
The mayor <a href="https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2031185185002164590">attached a picture</a> of he and his wife welcoming the activist who led the anti-Jewish protests at Columbia University, including illegal occupations of buildings which caused the Trump Administration to detain him over support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and lying on his original visa form.
The mayor, who chose to condemn the twenty participants in the “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City” protest as white supremacists but slow-rolled his condemnation of the would-be Islamist terrorists, was deliberately sending a signal that is impossible to ignore. Zohran Mamdani won’t endorse the violent young radicals outright – that would be a bridge too far – but he wants everyone to know where his heart lies.
It’d be less disturbing if, as so many legacy media organizations declare, Mamdani is a fringe character in the Democratic Party, a TikTok friendly accidental mayor thanks to the fluke of a rash of bad candidates undone by scandals present and past. But Mamdani doesn’t do things by accident, especially when it comes to social media: he sent a message by hosting Khalil, and he wanted young Democrats to see it. And for New York City’s Jewish population to see it, too.
The reason why is made clear by new polling data from the Manhattan Institute, which <a href="https://manhattan.institute/article/do-democrats-want-to-be-normal-survey-analysis-of-todays-democratic-coalition">surveyed</a> the current Democratic coalition on numerous questions related to policy. MI’s overall takeaway is that the Democratic Party has opinions that are much more moderate than those of Mayor Mamdani or New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But digging into the survey’s details illustrate a younger radical fringe which doesn’t have a problem with Khalil, and probably doesn’t have much of a problem with the attempted bombers, either.
According to MI’s polling, a quarter or more of 18–29 year-old Democrats view Israel essentially the same way as Nick Fuentes. “One in four (26%) of these younger Democrats believe that Israel is a colonial apartheid state that must be dismantled and that Israel bears responsibility for any and all violence since its founding,” writes MI vice president Jesse Arm. And of that same cohort, 38% claim the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel was either an “inside job” or a “false flag operation”, allowed or created whole cloth by Israel as a pretext for war in Gaza. And of course they would think that – 24% of them told MI’s pollsters that the Nazi Holocaust of Jews was either greatly exaggerated, or did not happen at all.
There’s no real separation between these Democrats and Mayor Mamdani – he simply represents an elevated luxury version of these beliefs, one that calls for the end of billionaires while hanging with Alex Soros and Huma Abedin in their tricked out penthouse duplex overlooking the city. The Gracie Mansion Khalil féte is a drab return to the Seventies era of “That Party at Lenny’s,” when Leonard Bernstein hosted the Black Panthers and the doyennes of the city hoped to leave their society friends behind as one of “the few attuned souls” to the new Radical Chic. 
As Tom Wolfe <a href="https://nymag.com/article/tom-wolfe-radical-chic-that-party-at-lennys.html">wrote</a>:
<blockquote>They had to be morally avant-garde, able to articulate the luxury opinions fashionable at that exact moment. They had to perform all these inversions—rising to the social stratosphere by ostentatiously demonstrating their solidarity with the oppressed, securing their place atop the structures of power by striking radical poses, and pretending to support tearing those structures down.</blockquote>
Of course, Democrats and their legacy media allies will dismiss this development as an exaggeration. It’s just a dinner, after all. What’s to worry about a bit of light terrorism among friends? And there were probably Nazis there, what do you expect? His wife&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mamdani-makes-excuse-for-wife-oct-7-likes-but-paper-trail-doesnt-add-up">Instagram likes</a>, who cares about those, she&#8217;s a private citizen! Chuck and Hakeem, they’re still the leaders of the party last we checked.
The aging neoliberal Democrats still fancy themselves in charge of the situation. They still have their hands on the wheel, and the youngsters will learn their place in time. With the rise of Mamdani and his cohort, that grip will be tested like it has not been in half a century. Do not be surprised when it fails.

As the sun set in Paris, a suspected Islamist terrorist was shot after charging French police with a bladed weapon near the Arc de Triomphe during a solemn ceremony Friday evening, authorities said. The attack unfolded shortly before the daily rekindling of the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, one of France’s most symbolically charged national rites.
Police identified the assailant as Brahim Bahrir, a 48-year-old French national who had been released from prison on Dec. 24, 2025, after serving 12 years of a 17-year sentence for terrorism-related violence. According to a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/paris-police-attacked-arc-triomphe-61a6af125becebd1d425c7e0b14a8f79">report</a> from the Associated Press, Bahrir was convicted in 2013 for stabbing three Belgian police officers in Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb, as part of a terrorist enterprise. He was later transferred to France to complete his sentence before his release late last year.
The Friday attack occurred shortly after 6 p.m. local time as members of the Republican Guard were conducting the Flame-of-the-Unknown-Soldier ceremony. Bahrir reportedly lunged at an officer, armed with a knife and scissors, prompting police to open fire. One officer sustained minor injuries before another officer shot the suspect multiple times, stopping the attack.
French authorities said no bystanders were injured. Bahrir was transported to the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital in critical condition, but later died of his wounds, according to the national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office.
Officials confirmed that Bahrir was already known to authorities and had been placed under post-release surveillance due to his prior radicalization and assessed threat level. He was subject to routine reporting requirements at the time of the attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the incident as an act of terrorism and praised the police response, commending officers for their composure and for preventing what he said could have been far worse during a ceremony attended by civilians, including schoolchildren.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
À l’Arc de Triomphe ce soir, alors que la Flamme était ravivée, une attaque terroriste a visé la Garde républicaine.
Je salue le courage et le sang-froid exemplaires de nos gendarmes et de nos militaires de Sentinelle : ils ont mis fin à l’attaque et évité le pire.…
— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/2022413803720188337?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 13, 2026</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The nearby metro station was temporarily closed at the request of police, and security forces sealed off the area around the monument, which was converted into a crime scene. The traffic circle surrounding the Arc de Triomphe remained open, though the landmark itself was closed to the public as the investigation began at the scene of the crime.
France’s national anti-terrorism prosecutor has opened an investigation into the attack.
The incident comes amid renewed scrutiny across Europe over Islamist violence carried out by individuals already known to security services, often following prison release. Recent attacks and foiled plots in France, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-people-stabbed-by-arab-looking-man-in-terror-attack-on-diversity-festival-in-germany-report">Germany</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alleged-isis-member-kills-2-in-brussels-belgium-raises-terror-alert-level-to-extremely-serious">Belgium</a>, and the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c875xgxjgj2o">United Kingdom</a> have fueled concerns that existing monitoring regimes are insufficient to contain the long-term threat posed by radicalized offenders, particularly as European governments grapple with high levels of immigration from regions affected by Islamist extremism and ongoing instability.
Friday’s attack, carried out at the heart of French national symbolism by a convicted terrorist under supervision, is likely to intensify debate over counterterrorism enforcement, post-release monitoring, and whether Western governments are adequately confronting the ideological roots of Islamist violence rather than merely responding to its aftermath.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday that he was investigating whether a development project linked to a Dubai-based company was going to be a “sharia city.”  
Paxton, a Republican, said he was taking action to examine a development underway in Kaufman, Texas, about 34 miles southeast of Dallas. The development drew attention after an American subsidiary of the Dubai-based SEE Holdings purchased thousands of acres of land near Kaufman, and claims circulated that up to 20,000 foreign nationals would be moving there. 
“There will be no ‘sharia city’ in Texas under my watch,” Paxton said. “While you’re on American soil, you will obey America’s laws. I have launched this investigation to determine the nature of this development in Kaufman County and will be thoroughly investigating this matter for any unlawful actions.” 
The land was purchased in connection with the Delaware-based Kaufman Solar, Paxton <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-announces-investigation-potentially-illegal-sharia-city-development">said</a>. Paxton has requested information from SEE Holdings and Kaufman Solar, including communications with the city and government officials, the relationship between the two companies, and details on the planned development. 
Paxton’s investigation comes after The Daily Caller published a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/02/04/kaufman-solar-llc-texas-plano-epic-sustainable-city-dubai-saudi-middle-east/">report</a> noting concerns from residents that there could be up to 20,000 foreign nationals coming to the “sustainable” development.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) told The Daily Caller that SEE Holdings contacted him about the development. 
“The group reached out to me, and I said under no circumstances would we accept any planned community that included mosques or religious buildings or schools. Twenty thousand foreigners is news to me, but that would also be a nonstarter, obviously,” he told the outlet. 
“If they were from New York and not Dubai, then we likely wouldn’t be concerned, but considering what our neighboring counties have been through, they’re going to have to actively involve the community to get buy-in, and that has yet to happen,” he added. 
Kaufman Solar is a limited liability company registered in Delaware that was founded in August 2022. Its registered agent is the Delaware-based Nextera Registered Agency, and <a href="https://kaufmancountytx.new.swagit.com/videos/320652">minutes</a> from Kaufman County commissioner meetings show that NextEra Energy Resources represented Kaufman Solar during talks with city officials. 
The Daily Wire reached out to SEE Holdings and NextEra Energy Resources. They did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 
After publication, NextEra Energy Resources told The Daily Wire that neither it &#8220;nor Kaufman Solar is affiliated with or involved in the proposed sustainable city development in Kaufman County.&#8221;
Last year, Paxton launched a similar investigation into EPIC City, a planned Muslim community in northern Texas. Paxton sued in December to stop construction of the city, alleging that developers violated state securities laws. The developers have denied any wrongdoing. 
“The leaders behind EPIC City have engaged in a radical plot to destroy hundreds of acres of beautiful Texas land and line their own pockets,” Paxton said. “I will relentlessly bring the full force of the law against anyone who thinks they can ignore the rules and hurt Texans.”
In recent months, Republican lawmakers have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-take-stand-against-sharia-law-with-new-house-caucus">stepped up calls</a> for the need to ban Sharia law in the United States. Last week, House Republicans launched the Sharia Free America Caucus, saying that Islamic law was incompatible with the Constitution.

Just one week after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned of the major threat posed by Islamists, major cities across the United States — and around the world — have altered and even canceled New Year&#8217;s celebrations due to security concerns.
In Chicago, state and local officials released a joint threat assessment just before Christmas, and warned that <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/post/new-years-eve-chicago-news-citys-nye-2025-celebration-is-attractive-target-foreign-domestic-extremists-report-says/18310758/">crowded celebrations</a> — such as the annual New Year&#8217;s Eve fireworks at Navy Pier — could be &#8220;attractive targets&#8221; for either domestic or foreign terrorists. They plan to go ahead with the events as planned, but will be increasing security in the area — and will be actively monitoring for potential attacks with drones or by using vehicles to ram crowds.
In <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/four-indicted-foiled-new-years-eve-terror-bombing-plot-targeting-southern-california-businesses">Los Angeles</a>, just over a week earlier, the FBI foiled a series of planned New Year&#8217;s attacks by the anti-government extremist group Turtle Island Liberation Front. Those attacks were supposed to target local businesses — and the group also planned to target Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the coming weeks. Members of the group had already begun the process of building and testing pipe bombs to be used in the holiday attacks when they were caught.
Audrey Carroll, one of those indicted in the Southern California case, had sent messages to other members saying things like, &#8220;I identify as a terrorist,&#8221; and, &#8220;I am a Hamas fangirl.&#8221;

A <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/lone-wolves-small-groups-most-persistent-security-threats-new-years-eve-times-square-report-says/18305122/">threat assessment</a> for the massive New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration held in Times Square, New York City, also raised red flags as officials said the largest concerns were potential &#8220;lone wolf&#8221; actors and small, organized groups. New York City is a symbolically &#8220;aspirational target&#8221; for would-be terrorists, the assessment stated, also noting the potential for &#8220;vehicle ramming attacks.&#8221;
&#8220;Lone offenders remain a particular concern due to their frequent ability to avoid detection until operational — al-Qa&#8217;ida and ISIS, and their supporters, continue to demonstrate an interest in targeting special events in the Homeland, as well as US officials and other perceived enemies,&#8221; the assessment read.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that he would still feel comfortable allowing celebrations to go on if he were in charge, touting the capabilities of the New York Police Department: &#8220;If it were me in New York, I would go ahead, but that&#8217;s because I know I have the greatest police department in the world.&#8221;

The threat assessments come as multiple <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/the-real-war-on-christmas">celebrations</a> and holiday events — from Christmas markets to New Year&#8217;s Eve concerts — have been noticeably changed or canceled altogether across Europe amid similar threats of Islamist attacks.
In Salzburg, Austria, the famous Christmas market has had a security overhaul — including security guards and dozens of cameras — and Paris has canceled the annual New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration on the Champs- Élysées.
It also comes as Gabbard recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tulsi-gabbard-warns-that-islamist-ideology-is-freedoms-greatest-threat">laid out</a> the threat posed — in the United States and around the world — by Islamist ideology.
“It is a political ideology that seeks to create a global caliphate that governs us here in America,” she said, adding, “And if you fail to comply, if you fail to adhere to this ideology, if you dare to exercise your God-given right to free speech, censorship is not what we face. They will use violence or any means that they deem as necessary to silence us.”

One of the dumbest things we can do is flatten all ideologies and pretend all human beings think the same way.
Every time someone does this, you end up with the worst possible policy.
If you say, for example, all human beings have a yearning in their human heart for freedom in the same exact way, that can very easily lead you to the policies pursued by the George W. Bush administration, in which the president declared that the goal of the United States was to end tyranny on planet Earth.
Of course, that is not a sustainable goal, because it assumes that everyone has the same priorities that you have.
In the same way, when you suggest that all acts of violence are equivalent, when you abstract terrible things happening to the level of the general, when you say, “Okay, there&#8217;s a specific terror act directed at whites or Jews or blacks” — instead of looking at the specific cause that is being pursued, instead of looking at the specific ideological matrix used to justify and foment violence, you simply say “Violence is bad, and all human beings should just know that violence is bad,” you are preventing the actual solutions to those problems.
That’s because if you refuse to face up to the fact that certain ideas are worse than other ideas, certain cultures are worse than other cultures, certain ideological frameworks are worse than other ideological frameworks, you&#8217;re missing the motivating factor in human action.
Instead, what you end up with is a blunderbuss foreign policy that differentially strikes groups in an unfair and stupid way. 
The other day, Sunny Hostin of The View did a signal version of this. She was commenting on the mass shooting in Bondi Beach in Sydney against Jews by two Islamists.
Here is what she had to say:
<blockquote>I used to think that gun violence was just an American phenomenon. And now we see this sort of anti-Semitic attack in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah, which is so disgusting and disturbing. And then, you know, kids going to college at Brown in the middle of finals getting murdered. What those families went through? Why all of this sickness and hatred going around the world? </blockquote>

“Why all of this sickness and hatred going around the world?” That’s fine on the level of a two-year-old.
But let&#8217;s be very clear. Different ideological groups commit different types of crimes. Some commit no crimes. Some actually promote peace. Some ideologies promote vast terror attacks, such as radical Islamism.
But when you reduce everything to “It&#8217;s just an act of violence,” or to the tool, such as a gun; when you look at the Brown University shooting, where we still don&#8217;t know the motive, and then you look at what happened in Sydney, Australia, where you absolutely know the motive and you flatten that out and pretend they are both the same, you&#8217;re preventing the implementation of policies that would actually prevent shootings.
That’s because there actually are ways to target radical Islam in, for example, Sydney, Australia: Don&#8217;t import more radical Muslims. Surveil radical mosques. Create a better security apparatus. Have a government that does not grant credibility to radical Islamists and their arguments.

There are many ways to fight particular ideologies or particular ideas.
But when you flatten that all out to the idea that it&#8217;s all just “gun violence,” you are preventing a solution.
That is often the core of the debate between the Right and the Left, the traditional Right and Left.
I always have to clarify this because there are people who exist on the so-called political Right who are not in any real way conservative; they just don&#8217;t like some of the elements of the Left.
But traditional conservative thinking suggests that human beings are motivated by the ideas and ideologies they carry, and also that human beings are deeply flawed. They&#8217;re not inherently good; human beings have the capacity for greatness and also the capacity for sin.
All of this is embedded in Federalist 51, in which James Madison argues that if human beings were angels, you wouldn&#8217;t need a government in order to govern them because they would be angels.
Once you recognize the reality of human flaws and nature, once you recognize that people change their behavior based on the ideologies that they hold, then it makes it possible to look at the outgrowth of particular ideologies and then fight those ideas.
Otherwise, what you end up with is a very bad and stupid public policy.

A man in his mid-30s deliberately drove into pedestrians and cyclists on Île d’Oléron, a French island off the Atlantic coast, on Wednesday, injuring ten people — four critically — between the villages of Dolus-d’Oléron and Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron.

The attacker, known locally for prior offenses including theft, substance abuse, and erratic behavior, reportedly shouted &#8220;Allahu Akbar&#8221; during his arrest, yet authorities have not confirmed a terror motive. He attempted to ignite his vehicle, which contained gas cylinders, before being subdued by police. Despite his alarming actions, French intelligence said he was not on any radicalization watchlists. The local mayor described him as someone “known to police for behavior that is not entirely normal.” Victims, aged between 22 and 69, were airlifted to the University Hospital of Poitiers, while a psychological support unit was established on the island.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez promptly launched an investigation and traveled to the scene upon the prime minister’s request. The anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office is monitoring but has not officially taken over the investigation. The attack has reignited urgent calls from French leaders like Sébastien Chenu, Deputy of the National Assembly, who stated, “There is an urgent need to identify, root out, track down, and combat this Islamist hydra in each of its networks, its funding channels, its rhetoric, and its political supporters. This is a war you must wage here and now.”

In October 2020, an 18-year-old Russian Muslim refugee killed Samuel Paty, a French secondary school teacher, beheading him with a cleaver. In October 2023, a 20-year-old who claimed his act was in the name of ISIS, launched an attack at the Gambetta-Carnot school in Arras, the capital of the Pas-de-Calais, killing a literature teacher who was trying to protect his students. In December 2023, a French man attacked three people in Paris using a knife and hammer as he allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar.” One victim was killed.
The latest incident spotlights systemic gaps allowing individuals with troubled pasts — though not flagged as radical — to carry out violent rampages. It serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat of Islamist-inspired violence in France and the imperative for decisive governmental action to safeguard citizens and counter extremism effectively.

France Car Attacker Screams ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Mows Down Innocents In Deliberate Assault

I recently listened to the daughter of a Hamas sheikh share her story — one that serves as a warning for New York’s mayoral election. For her safety, I’m withholding her name. 
Her mother was Jewish and escaped their Arab village in Israel soon after giving birth. Her father was a wealthy, devout Muslim sheikh with multiple wives. At 14, his daughter chose to live with him, hoping for family and belonging. Instead, what she found was indoctrination and abuse.
Her father woke her routinely in the middle of the night to test her on the Quran. Beatings were justified because, in the Quran, women are only capable of reaching heaven if the men around them are satisfied. At 15, he forced her to marry her 22-year-old cousin. She immediately became pregnant. At six months, her husband beat her in the street for stepping outside her home without permission. She lost the baby at his hands. Her father blamed her — and made her thank her husband for not killing her.
Her father was embedded in Yasser Arafat’s inner circle — the leader of the Palestinian Authority (PLO), and architect of the Second Intifada. The men around her spoke of Israel as a meal to devour “bite by bite” — relentless, incremental, unending. In conversations she overheard, the goal was never compromise. The hate was endless.
She escaped at 17. Homeless, terrified, and alone, when an Israeli social worker discovered her and soon discovered Judaism’s light: a faith rooted in justice, kindness, and human dignity. Today, she raises her children in freedom and dedicates her life to protecting girls from the same abuse she endured.
Her warning is simple: no matter what you give, negotiate, or attempt at nation-building, political Islam’s hate will never stop. 
The ideology that brutalized her doesn’t stay overseas — it is finding its way into our American cities. Hamas wages physical war in Gaza, but its politics are being waged in local councils and mayoral races, where figures like Zohran Mamdani repurpose Hamas-style rhetoric of “resistance” and “liberation” under the banner of socialism.
I’ve seen it firsthand — radical doctrine pushed under the guise of progressive policy. Over the past two years, I helped apply pressure to block two BDS resolutions at the council level in Nashville, Tennessee. This isn’t theory — it’s unfolding through politics, education, and activist networks quietly advancing Islamist agendas to destabilize the West.

<h3>Politics:</h3>
Islamist‑backed groups like <a href="https://www.cair.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Directory.pdf">CAIR sponsor or support at least 235 elected officials</a> at state and federal levels, shaping policy and narrative — including in the current New York mayoral race. Once in office, these politicians import religious ideology into governance, reshaping norms and weakening Western culture. 
CAIR’s Unity &amp; Justice Fund reportedly contributed <a href="https://www.jns.org/cair-reportedly-donated-100000-to-support-mamdani-campaign-for-nyc-mayor/">$100,000 to Zohran Mamdani’s campaign</a>, reinforcing the alliance between Islamist networks and democratic‑socialist politics. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) have called for a federal investigation into CAIR’s funding sources, questioning whether the organization is financed or directed by Hamas or other terrorist groups. 
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has renewed efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization — a network whose U.S. affiliates, including the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), hold the deeds to hundreds of mosques and Islamic centers across the United States. CAIR has documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, including being listed as a member of its Palestine Committee in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism‑financing trial, and was named an unindicted co‑conspirator.
<h3>Political Symbols And Education:</h3>
Anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric are being woven into classrooms, books, and art — disguised as “diversity” or “multiculturalism.” This summer, a public school in downtown Nashville hosted “<a href="https://x.com/StopAntisemites/status/1966492472827101673">Keffiyeh Day</a>,” celebrating a political symbol tied to Yasser Arafat and the Second Intifada. <a href="https://combatantisemitism.org/cam-news/virginia-high-school-students-glorify-violence-in-horrifying-mock-kidnapping-videos/">At Thomas Jefferson High School in Northern Virginia</a>, students from the Muslim Student Association reenacted Hamas kidnappings in keffiyehs to promote their group. These are not isolated incidents — they reflect a broader ideological initiative.
<h3>The Socialist Cover For Islamist Ambition:</h3>
Words like justice, freedom, victim, oppressed, and occupation are being repurposed to advance extremism. Mamdani, who up until recently has refused to condemn chants to “globalize the Intifada” while promoting the anti-American and anti-Israel BDS movement, exposes how Islamist talking points are being mainstreamed through progressive politics. Under the banner of equity and oppression, Mamdani blurs the line between social justice and political Islam — turning compassion into a Trojan horse for division. His rhetoric mirrors the same moral inversion used by groups like Hamas and the BDS movement: recasting terrorists as victims, and democracies like America and Israel as oppressors. It’s not solidarity — it’s subversion.
The solution is not compromise — it’s clarity. If we elect leaders without Western values, we erase Western values.
Just as the daughter of the Hamas sheikh found light after darkness, our communities must commit to deradicalization, education, and the moral courage to say a definitive “no.”
The fight is no longer overseas. It’s here — on our American soil. We must act now, before the next bite is taken.
