No government has the right to shut down a church, a synagogue, a mosque or any other house of worship for reading text from their faith’s holy book. Shutting down a mosque for preaching The Holy Quran is the definition of religious discrimination and persecution. We call on the State Department, which has repeatedly called for the protection of religious freedom, to condemn this reprehensible violation of liberty by the French government.
Rep. Nancy Mace says President Trump needs to answer more directly to Congress on Iran, that the Epstein files won't go away, and stands by her post that every Muslim in office is a "threat to both national security and our republic." Our full interview:
“Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance (of justice) so that people may administer justice.” The Noble Quran, 57:25
Hardcore Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a new video as part of his election campaign, filmed at a prison where Palestinian detainees are held, boasting about the harsh conditions imposed on them in an apparent bid to win votes.
💢 A newly leaked photo shows two blindfolded elderly Palestinians, Nadi Ma’rouf, 63, and Ali Ma’rouf, 60, alongside an Israeli soldier hours before Israeli forces killed them in November 2024, according to journalist Younis Tirawi, who published the photo.
He reported Israeli forces used the men as human shields before executing them in Beit Lahia. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights documented at the time that the bodies of Nadi and Ali, along with 25-year-old Hamza al-Hatoo, arrived after Israeli forces shot them near Al-Khaldi Mosque.
PCHR said its researchers received information that all three had been detained by Israeli forces, released, and then shot shortly afterward.
Al Jazeera later reported Palestinian accounts that Nadi and Ali were held for days and forced to enter buildings ahead of Israeli soldiers as human shields before being released and shot after walking only a short distance.
Wow… she killed children, she was the one feeding the targets to her colleagues….
Now the kids haunt in her dreams.
‘I have nightmares. I see inside my head dead children, crying mothers. I imagine how the bodies are removed. The guilt doesn't leave me. How can it? I killed an innocent child, I was the one who fed the targets, it's on me.’
"Cruz’s fellow Republicans also skipped the hearing — though probably less because of the subject matter than because Cruz is so singularly disliked.
"The result was a one-man show of religious bigotry and conspiracy theories, an awkward development that Cruz attempted to conceal.
“You may notice that there are empty chairs on the Democrat side of the dais,” he said, without mentioning that the seats were equally empty on the Republican side.
"Over the next hour, he struggled his way through Arabic names in a convoluted attempt to demonstrate that the Muslim Brotherhood is everywhere in America — in public schools, in universities, in government, probably in your sock drawer. " @NOTUSreports

This mass funeral of Palestinian civilians slaughtered by Israel is another devastating reminder of the unimaginable human cost of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. Every new massacre, every family wiped out, and every funeral procession carrying innocent civilians further exposes the reality of this genocide.
The international community, including our own government, must stop enabling Israeli atrocities and instead demand a real ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, accountability for war crimes, and an end to the occupation.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "There is no one who goes out of his house in order to seek knowledge, but the angels lower their wings in approval of his action.” Sunan Ibn Majah
The murder of this entire family, including their unborn child, exemplifies the evil of the wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his openly genocidal government. Despite the so-called ‘ceasefire,’ atrocities like these are daily and escalating occurrences in Gaza.
As the Israeli government ripped this innocent child out of their mother’s womb, it is seeking to rip the Palestinian people out of the remaining pieces of their homeland.
Members of Congress with any conscience must condemn these massacres of children and call for an immediate end to all American support for these crimes against humanity.
