Leading NJ Democrat Congressional Candidate Volunteered to Join an Al Qaeda Terrorist Front Group

This guy was also a character witness -- a positive character witness, mind you -- for the "Blind Sheikh" terrorist who was the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Muslim terrorists' first attempt to bring down the towers. In case you forgot, they parked vans filled with explosives next to the pillars that supported the entire WTC, which went up from the bedrock through the underground parking garages and then through the entire towers.

The plan would have worked, except that they just didn't bring enough explosives. Just eight years later, Osama bin Ladin would perfect the plan by using planes as the bombs.

And what a shock, this loyal Muslim citizen who Shares Our Values and certainly would not support terrorism turns out to in fact support terrorism.

And Democrats are about to make him a Member of Congress, with the ability to smuggle bombs into Congress itself.

Leading N.J. Dem Congressional candidate Adam Hamawy volunteered with Al-Qaida-tied group in Bosnia
After traveling with the 'Blind Sheikh,' Hamawy worked with Benevolence International Foundation, later shuttered as an Al-Qaida front

Adam Hamawy's past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).
Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy's service as the sheikh's translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy's testimony on the sheikh's behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.

Oh, I guess there was a plan for a whole series of bombings, after the attempt to destroy the towers and kill 6000 or more people. (Remember, if this plan had worked, there would have been no evacuation time to get out of the building before it collapsed).

IIRC, the blast penetrated through six floors, and it subsequently cost $1B to clean all the soot out of the building.

But just one year before Hamawy took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abdel-Rahman, the now-Congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies: to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing "logistical support" to Al-Qaida.
In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, according to a copy Jewish Insider recovered through an archive of print publications, Hamawy described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the "Benevolence International Foundation."
...
Sarajevo and Zenica were the exact cities where Benevolence International maintained its offices -- offices that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for Al-Qaida. The 9/11 Commission Report would later identify the foundation's base in the Bosnian capital as part of the "impressive array of offices [that] covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activities" that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s.
Hamawy, who has scored endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in his New Jersey congressional bid, did not respond to repeated questions about his relationship with Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia.
The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the "Blind Sheikh" receiving significant coverage in recent weeks.

A 1995 court transcript shows how the then-medical student Hamawy described meeting the Islamist leader in 1991, visiting him at his home and accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to a conference in Detroit. In the courtroom, he and the sheikh greeted each other warmly, and Hamawy denied a government informant's claim that Abdel-Rahman had urged the assassination of the then-president of Egypt.
But no other publication has reported Hamawy's connection to Benevolence International since the Star-Ledger interview in 1996.

Oh the media's covering it up? What a surprise!

Update: More.

...

But what has given the plastic surgeon such recent prominence has been his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip during Israel's war with Hamas, including at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The IDF struck the hospital repeatedly in 2025 to take out an underground Hamas command center that it said operated beneath the medical center.
In multiple interviews in far-left media, Hamawy has denied the existence of such a terrorist post, and insisted to Jacobin that the facility was "a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

There was a conscious strategy by Clinton era goons in government to treat state level foreign terrorism - acts of war, technically speaking, as some sort of garden variety criminality that ought to be handled by the courts.

These clowns are unlawful enemy combatants. They have no constitutional rights as we understand them, nor do they deserve any. At best they get a military tribunal and then hanged.

96 The idea was to topple one of the towers into the other. They enlisted an engineer to help them figure out how that could be done. What they came up with was to detonate and explosion near a slurry wall. That would undermine the foundation on that tower by rushing the Hudson River through that spot. The only reason it failed was because the idiot parked the truck in the wrong place.

Toppling one tower into the other and then having them collapse in that manned would have made 9-11 look small by comparison.

BUT

You still need people to tell the AI what to do, manage it, and make sure it isn't doing something screwy and wrong.

188 For Bulg, beacause he doubts :
"The Fifth Congress of the RSDLP was held in London from April 30 to May 19 (May 13 to June 1), 1907. It was attended by 336 delegates representing more than 147,000 members: 105 Bolsheviks, 97 Mensheviks, 57 Bundists, 44 Polish Social-Democrats, 29 members of the Social-Democracy of the Latvian Territory, and 4 “non-faction” delegates. The large industrial centres were represented by Bolsheviks. The St. Petersburg Party organisation sent 12 Bolsheviks of its 17 delegates; the Moscow City and Moscow District, 16 out of 19; the Urals, 19; Ivanovo-Voznesensk, Vladimir, Kostroma District, Bryansk, Kazan and Krasnoyarsk, Bolsheviks only. Lenin was a delegate to the Congress from the Upper Kama organisation. At the Congress there was a well-knit group of Bolsheviks led by Lenin, among them A. S. Bubnov, I. F. Dubrovinsky, M. N. Lyadov, V. P. Nogin, M. N. Pokrovsky, K. N. Samoilova, S. G. Shahumyan, J. V. Stalin, A. M. Stopani, I. A. Teodorovich, M. G. Tskhakaya, K. Y. Voroshilov, and Y. M. Yaroslavsky. Maxim Gorky attended the Congress with voice only. Following a long and sharp debate the Congress adopt ed this agenda:

Twenty plus fucking years and now when we have a chance to squash these cocksukers in Iran......nope, can't do that because we're still war weary(understandably) jfrom erking off in Iraq n Afghanistan. Never understand why we went into Iraq instead of Iran, but in hindsight the powers that be would have fucked that up too and here we are./rant

Because Saddam tried to kill GHWB, Shrub's father in Kuwait is my guess. The second reason is that Iraq was doable for an invasion in which Iran wasn't. Iran has a much greater land area plus a much larger population about twice the size of Iraq. We also knew already how to take Iraq and the northern quarter was a no go region already for Saddam because of the Kurds.

The dumbass Bush and his idiots from the CIA and State Dept. decided instead of leaving after Saddam got offed, we would stick around and make Iraq into a democracy.

Classic liberalism projects values as universal. They aren't. Outside of perhaps a few universal wants--eats, shelter, etc., the higher level wants and needs are dictated by the culture around them, in many cases far older than the West.

So liberals trending into leftist thought believed in contradictory things--one is that leftists were the most perfect and moral beings ever on this earth, and that all cultures are equal, in part because the old liberalism made peoples of the world into interchangeable widgets. Commies adopted that.

So among the leftists now, it is an oppression olympics based on personal identifiers where the party cadre fight over who is the most oppressed (and consequently highest status deserving rule) of all. Everyone is unique but the same.

Leftist crackpots using society instead of economics where everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.
