The troubling ties of the state’s top prosecutor.
After a wave of Islamic mob attacks and riots aimed at Jewish synagogues and communities in New York City that began after the Oct 7 and many of which were titled ‘Flood’ echoing the name used by Hamas for those attacks, the state’s top prosecutor finally took action.
Against the Jews.
Even as she failed to take action against the Islamist mobs waving genocidal terrorist flags and chanting, among other things, “we support Hamas”, Attorney General Letitia James proudly announced that she had shut down Betar, a pro-Israel group whose members had rallied to protect Jewish institutions, accusing it of the “widespread persecution of Muslim, Arab, Palestinian(s)” because its “members repeatedly referred to keffiyehs – traditional Palestinian scarves – as ‘rape rags’ and claimed that Muslims ‘hate America.’”
This shutdown of legal First Amendment speech by the most partisan attorney general in the country, herself under investigation in an unrelated case, was all the more shocking because it came even as AG James had conspicuously failed to act to prevent Muslim attacks on synagogues and harassment of Jewish neighborhoods.
After the Betar shutdown, a number of Jewish groups asked AG James to tackle pro-terrorist Muslim groups like Within Our Lifetime. Her office, however, took no action.
What was behind AG Letitia James’ systemic antisemitism? Some pointed to her alliance with Zohran Mamdani and his coalition merging Islamists and the far left who were responsible for the attacks on Jewish communities. But signs point to the growing Islamization of the attorney general’s office under James as a likelier explanation for her systemic two tier actions.
Attorney General Letitia James had developed close ties to Islamist groups and even before targeting Betar had threatened Steven Emerson, one of the earliest counterterrorism figures to monitor and expose Islamic terrorism in New York, and the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), for monitoring activities by Islamist terror-linked groups. The press release by James’ office objected that IPT had been monitoring CAIR, an unindicted terror funding co-conspirator whose leader praised the Oct 7 attacks, and which has links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“As we enter the holy month of Ramadan, it’s more important than ever that we show our support for our Muslim communities and stand up to Islamophobia,” James warned in her press release, promoting her illegal assault on a counterterrorism organization on behalf of an unindicted terrorist funding co-conspirator.
The surveillance of CAIR had not even been taking place in New York State, but in Ohio.
But Attorney General Letitia James had been caught picking up materials and agendas from CAIR despite its ties to terrorism and support for the murder of Jews.
Why was James so desperate to pander to Islamists? Her political aspirations have become entangled with Islamic political elements and her office has become Islamized on her watch.
Last month, Halimah Elmariah, AG James’ Egyptian Muslim press secretary, announced she was stepping down to become the press secretary for the New York and New Jersey Port Authority.
Elmariah had previously referred to Israel’s response to the Hamas kidnapping and murder of 3 Jewish teenagers, one of them American, as an “assault on Gaza”, and compared Israel’s campaign against Hamas terrorists to the Holocaust. Beyond Israel, Emariah appeared to adopt conventional Muslim brotherhood positions, defending Muslim Brotherhood dictator Mohammed Morsi and complaining about his successor “who crushed all political opposition, including most notably the Muslim Brotherhood, which he dubbed a terrorist organization.”
The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of Hamas and in some ways of Al Qaeda.
Elmariah claimed that counterterrorism programs in New York City were “spying on Muslim communities”, defended Qatar, a terrorist state sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Syrian ‘rebels’: a mostly Islamist movement spanning the Brotherhood and Al Qaeda.
In her departure post, Halimah Elmariah bragged about how “alongside Umair Khan and Mamadou Bah, we led the Attorney General’s efforts to convene roundtables with community leaders, share resources, speak out against anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate, host Iftars, and most importantly, hire the office’s first-ever Muslim Affairs Director.”
I was not however able to find any evidence of a “Jewish Affairs Director” in AG James’ office.
The position of Muslim Affairs Director.went to Mohammad Awais who was featured at an event of the Muslim Americans in Public Service (MAPS) that included Mamadou Sire Bah, previously mentioned by Elmariah, who had advanced from beginning James’ scheduler to a ‘senior advance associate’ on her team. Partners of MAPS include CAIR and other Islamist groups with a history of supporting terrorism. Journalists have noted ties between MAPS and Islamic groups linked to terrorism.
Umair Khan occupies an even more prominent position as a senior advisor and special counsel to Attorney General Letitia James.
Attorney General Letitia James’ problematic alliance with Islamists go back to when Dabah ‘Debbie’ Almontaser was serving as an early “advisor on cultural and religious diversity issues” for James back when she was occupying the position of ‘public advocate’.
Almontaser had become a controversial figure over her “Intifada NYC” branding. The board member of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York (MDCNY) was alleged to have played a significant role in Mamdani’s career who had also come through the MDCNY.
AG James’ desperate courting of Islamists led her into an alliance with Mamdani, with CAIR and undermined the security of New Yorkers and their First Amendment rights. Some of the courtship has verged on the pathetic with AG James rushing to brag that, “for the first time in our state’s history, January is officially recognized as Muslim American Heritage Month! This month, and every month, we celebrate the invaluable contributions, recognize the rich culture, and honor the traditions of our Muslim communities in New York.”
The invaluable contributions from Muslims that James may be most interested in are not to New York, but to her political career.

The “don’t rape me, rape her” line is appropriate per Qur’an 33:59.
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.”
Of course, Qur’an, in all its iterations was created by human beings.

I agree—about all religions and their texts. Though supportive of basically decent religions (Islam of course doesn’t count) because, as Benjamin Franklin, himself a skeptic, said, if man is bad with religion, imagine what he’d be without it, nonetheless I think it far more probable that man created God than the other way around.
PRCS USN (ret) says
I do concur.

Personal experience proved you are not correct. In the military I was injured so severely that the doctors told my wife I was dead and they were waiting for the body to catch up to the brain. 2 hours after telling he that I woke up after having what is called a near death experience. I was asked if I wanted to go back and when I said yes, I was told “Well come on then. There is nothing wrong with you that cant be fixed”. I then woke up a complete quad and was told that’s what I’d be the rest of my life. 7 days later I walked out of the hospital. A month later I was cleared to go back to work and a month after that I was cleared to go back to the gym. 30 yeas later doctors look at new MRIs and still cant believe I’m alive and functional.
You are fee to believe whatever you want but I dont think you are completely wrong about some religions.

Not to cast aspersions, but ironically, the “Man created God rather than the other way around” happened to be a Karl Marx quote. Would have been fair, had his substitute for it not been such a sociopathic, genocidal mess
Wellington says
Well, Infidel, even a foolish intellectual (largely redundant) like Marx can stumble into the truth from time to time. Another example from Marx demonstrating this is that even though one after another of his main theories are completely bogus, examples being dialectical materialism, determinism (which I like to call voodoo for intellectuals), the class struggle theory (particularly pernicious), the theory of alienation and the labor value theory, Marx somewhat got matters correct with his economic interpretation of history, though he took this defensible theory to remorseless lengths and rather ruined it.
As for Marx agreeing with me respecting who created whom (yes, Marx agrees with me, not I with Marx), he assessed religion in a totally cynical vein while I do not. Sound religions like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism have merit in the ethical realm and there is also the matter of the power of myth to inspire the best in man. Michelangelo’s greatness in the arts serves as an example of this. Marx missed all this but then he missed a lot and fostered much mischief with his foolish ideas.

Namer: I am glad for your recovery but I don’t see how anything I stated is incorrect. I could be incorrect but I would contend I have not been proven incorrect, which was your contention.
Medical science is hardly all knowing and so much that happens remains unexplained but this does not mean the only explanation for unexplained events is a spiritual/religious one. For example, NDEs can plausibly be explained as due to hormonal surges, different mixtures of oxygen and CO2 in the brain and other biochemical anomalies resulting from severe trauma.

Namer, I’m glad you had recovery. I have been near death several times, but each time through what I see as miracles, I managed to keep on living.
For those who believe in God and Christ and see miracles in Creation, there is abundant proof, as the Apostle Paul wrote.
For those who don’t believe, the proof we see, is not enough.
Had man created a god, it would be like what the muzzies worship as it is easier to do wrong than to do right.
Psychopaths join islam because it encourages the behaviors they like, and promises rewards for the evil they think and do.

“Minnesota GOP state lawmaker pushes House Oversight panel to subpoena Rep. Ilhan Omar”
“A Minnesota state lawmaker is asking a powerful House committee to subpoena US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into her possible ties to Somali fraudsters who bilked Twin Cities taxpayers out of $250 million.
State Rep. Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove), who is chairing a fraud oversight investigation in Minnesota’s legislature, wrote to US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) on Thursday requesting that his panel compel Omar to hand over “her staff’s communications with defendants” implicated in the fraud.
“As you may be aware, Rep. Ilhan Omar has documented ties to criminals convicted in the Feeding Our Future case, including holding her 2018 election party at the Safari Restaurant and appearing in a video promoting the MEALS Act, which was filmed at the Safari Restaurant,” Robbins told Comer.

Something specific in the article
“In the federal case U.S. v. Bock, several text and email exchanges between Rep. Omar’s office and the defendants in the case were listed in the trial exhibits,” she also said, noting that she sought the information and an interview from the congresswoman — but was rebuffed.
“Although we cannot compel Rep. Omar to turn over the communications, we respectfully request that the House Oversight Committee consider requesting or subpoenaing this information,” Robbins emphasized.”
““It is essential to understand the genesis of the largest COV
ID-related fraud scandal by getting the documents and the facts about Rep. Omar’s and her staff’s communications with defendants in this case.”
A proposed subpoena submitted to the Oversight panel lists internal records related to Minnesota Department of Education food programs, as well as communications “with the owners and staff of Safari Restaurant” about the same programs as well as with Omar’s ex-staffer Guhaad Hashi Said.
Said worked for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 congressional campaigns as an “enforcer” overseeing voter mobilization in the Somali community, according to local conservative outlet Alpha News.
The 49-year-old pleaded guilty in August 2025 to conspiring to commit wire fraud and money laundering as part of a scheme that defrauded taxpayers out of $3.2 million for a bogus food center called Advance Youth Athletic Development.
he site falsely claimed to be giving as many as 5,000 meals per day to children in need.
Robbins’ suggested subpoena also asked for emails between Feeding Our Future defendant Aimee Bock and Omar’s former community representative in Minnesota, Natasha Rice, as well as information related to a “video aired on Somali TV,” in which Omar had “touted the MEALS Act and highlighted Safari Restaurant as a place where meals were available.”
The MEALS Act, which passed in a March 2020 package that included COVID relief money, had “removed important guardrails in the federal School Nutrition Program which, in turn, allowed restaurants to participate in the program.”
Robbins had tried to issue her own subpoena to Omar, but it was blocked along party lines in a 5-3 committee vote.
Comer, whose reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment, previously told The Post he was weighing a subpoena regarding Omar’s suspiciously skyrocketing net worth — which jumped to nearly $30 million in 2024, per House disclosures.
The Minnesota Democrat later blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for the inflated assets, with a spokesperson insisting Omar was “not a millionaire” after an amended disclosure had been filed this year.
President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have also alleged that the congresswoman may have committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother, which Omar has denied as a “sick” personal attack.”
