A person who should not be in the U.S. Congress. She, along with others who have crept in, are open, blatant, arrogant enemies of America. Islamists. Treasonous subversives. Now installed as legitimate, so-called honorable representatives in “The People’s House,” the U.S. Congress.

THIS is America.

THIS is America’s blindness and decline.

THIS is the death of America.

All because as of September 12th, 2001 this nation decided to bow to Islam, to live in fear of Islam, to make sure to do everything possible to not upset Islam. To lie about Islam. To deny what Islam truly is. To ignore what is in the Qur’an. To ignore and deny the history and reality of Islam.

To not even bother to learn the basics of Islam.

Just automatic subservience to Islam.

Imagine that, America.

Fear and ignorance were not in the makeup of our Founders or what this nation was built upon.

Fear and ignorance now dominate within this lost nation.

“Death to America,” “Death to Israel” chants pour out of Islamists in Michigan on the last day of Ramadan

 

Dearborn has become a “hotbed for hate”

Protesters in Dearborn, Michigan, shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during an International Al-Quds Day rally held in the town.

“Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America,” Tarek Bazzi, a Michigan-based activist associated with the Hadi institute, said in a video from the rally that was shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Bazzi’s comments were followed by crowds chanting “Death to America!” in the background.

Bazzi reasoned that the rallies held on the day “are so anti-America,” instead of a focus on Israel, because “it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities,” pointing to Israel’s continued siege of Gaza as an example.

The activist went on to quote Malcom X, who said the U.S. is “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,” while arguing to eliminate the entire American “system.”

“It’s not just Genocide Joe that has to go,” Bazzi said, referring to President Biden. “It is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth.”

Bazzi then turned his attention to Israel, telling the audience that when “fools” ask them “if Israel has the right to exist,” the chant “Death to Israel” is “the most logical chant shouted across the world today.”

The remarks were followed by chants of “Death to Israel” from protesters in the crowd.

Dearborn, Michigan, America — NOT from an Islamist country.

 

International Al-Quds Day, an annual pro-Palestinian event that is held on the last Friday of Ramadan, enjoys significant support in Dearborn, which has the highest proportion of Muslim residents in the country.

Celebrations of the day have been controversial throughout the world, even drawing a ban by German authorities in Berlin on multiple occasions.

Rallies to mark the day have been taking place in Dearborn for at least 20 years, according to MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky, who told Fox News Digital that the town has become a “hotbed of hate for many years.”

“You can see rallies and sermons in support for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran,” Stalinsky said, noting that the threats emanating from the city have become even more pronounced since the October Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

Republican state Rep. Phil Green told Fox News Digital that he agrees with assessments of a growing problem in Dearborn and around the country, arguing that it saddens him to see “the world’s problems coming to our doorstep.”

“This type of extremism, this type of rhetoric, this type of division … threats of violence was a Middle East thing, it seems like a lot of that was limited to the Middle East, and now it’s come to our doorstep,” Green said.

Green said the majority of Dearborn’s citizens are peaceful and don’t promote violence, but he acknowledged the movements bubbling up from the town are worth monitoring closely for lawmakers.

Dearborn also became the center of a protest movement against Biden last month, with activists from the town encouraging Democrats to vote “uncommitted” instead of supporting the president’s re-election bid.

Bazzi’s speech was followed by remarks from Michigan Iman Usama Abdulghani, who called Israel an “evil settler colonialist project” and a “cancer” while applauding those who are willing to publicly criticize the country.

“Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists,” Abdulghani said. “The people of the world now know this.”

Protesters were then heard chanting “Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea,” a controversial phrase classified as “hate” by the American Jewish Committee.

According to Stalinsky, that type of rhetoric has become a common theme in Dearborn.

“I am not saying that everyone in Dearborn is a terrorist, but there is a large amount of support for jihadi groups there,” Stalinsky said.

Rashida Tlaib Refuses to Condemn ‘Death to America’ Chants at Rally in District

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) looks on following a House Democratic Caucus meeting at Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., May 31, 2023.

 

Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Thursday refused to condemn “death to America” chants that featured prominently at a rally in the district she represents.

Last week, at an anti-Israel demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan, local activist Tarek Bazzi led a crowd in chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel,” saying the Jewish state “does not deserve to exist” and celebrating former Iranian ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn approached Tlaib in the halls of the United States Capitol Complex and asked whether the Michigan congresswoman would condemn the chants. Rather than answer Vaughn’s question, Tlaib said she would not talk to Fox News, telling Vaughn that she does not “talk to people that use racist tropes.” When Vaughn continued to press Tlaib, the progressive Democrat continued to accuse Fox of racism.

“I’m talking about your guys’s racist tropes,” she said. “You know, you guys are — you know exactly what you do. And I know you’re Islamophobic, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own selves. You’re not going to use me.”

 

Tlaib has been a vocal critic of Israel both before and after October 7, often resorting to misleading claims to smear the Jewish state.

Immediately after the Hamas attack, Tlaib blamed Israel for the massacres, writing in a statement that “as long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.” She falsely accused Israel of striking al-Ahli hospital in Gaza and refused to back down once the explosion was confirmed to have been caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket. Tlaib repeated that lie to a crowd of over 500 protesters who later entered and illegally occupied a House office building. She posted a video on X calling for a free Palestine “from the river to the sea” — a slogan advocating the elimination of Israel — and accused President Joe Biden of “support[ing] the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

Even before October 7, Tlaib accused opponents of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement of forgetting “what country they represent,” said she experiences “a calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust because of a supposed history in which it prompted Palestinians to give their land to Jews, and said of both her home state and the Gaza Strip that “if you open the curtain and look behind the curtain, it’s the same people that make money — and yes they do — off of racism, off of these broken policies. There is someone there making money.”

As National Review previously reported, Tlaib has fundraising ties to at least three Hamas-linked activists, including one who served time in prison for his connection to the terrorist organization. During her first congressional run in 2018, three individuals who hosted fundraisers for her campaign had either led or funded U.S.-based Hamas front groups including the Islamic Association for Palestine, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, and the American Muslim Society. All three organizations have in their history been found liable for financing terrorism.
