Read more for the ugly and un-American reality, as I have documented over the years.

The New JDL said,“Since CAIR will use the parade as an opportunity to recruit and promote their false agenda, exposing CAIR should be everyone’s mission.”

AFDI subway ad from 2014

In 2010, Nihad Awad Executive Director and Founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations was a Grand Marshal. (second from right.)

In 2017,”for the first time in the parade’s history, a Jewish leader will be honored: Rabbi Marc Schneier will serve as the honorary grand marshal.“ Who is this bridge-building rabbi?

Rabbi Marc Schneier, the philandering spiritual leader was booted from the Rabbinical Council of America two years ago after dumping wife No. 4 so he could marry wife No. 5. He is now married to wife No. 6…. one congregant told The Post last year,“It’s like, ‘Marc cheated on his wife again — what’s new?’ It became a running joke: the annual Marc Schneier wedding.

This desperate attempt to jump-start the dwindling Muslim Day Parade, with a philandering rabbi and terror-loving CAIR, came to naught. It remained a fragmented event, yearning to build bridges to nowhere.

After 32 years, not even the Muslim community is motivated to show up.

I heard more than one reporter/photographer comment on the very thin turnout this year .

They had expected a larger crowd, due to claims of Trump-inspired Islamophobia, but that was not the case.

The parade started with tarps laid out on Madison Avenue for the noon Dhuhr prayer.

All Muslims must have to support this noble cause. We must have to come out, stay united and show our strength minimum at this platform which called a Muslim Day Parade.

It’s not me it’s not you. It’s US brothers & Sisters. It’s all of US and all about US.  Building Bridges.

As salamo Alikum brothers & Sisters. Come with your entire family. Remember together we strong and unbreakable strength divided we fall. Show your strength. Send the message to entire world thru your unity. God bless you all. Ameen. [sic]

Friends, try as much as possible to participate. Many reasons why it is crucially important to take part.

Part 2 — The New JDL Goes The Distance

The NEW JDL peacefully protested the parade and its organizers. “No Bridges With Terrorists. NO CAIR!”

How do you build bridges when one of your sponsors works with the Muslim Brotherhood and finances Hamas?

The organizers claim the parade will address anti-Semitism. Really? With CAIR on board, the parade supports attacks against Jews in Israel.

Predictably, the ‘progressive’ Jews lent support to CAIR and terrorism. They would have made fine Kapos at Auschwitz.

Erhan Yildirim, a Turkish undertaker and community co-ordinator for the NYPD, gave a hard stare to the JDL signs.

The Muslim Day Parade legitimizes CAIR as a benign advocacy group, which they are not; and the idea that Islam promotes peace, which it does not.

After the prayers, I decided to skip the walk down Madison Ave. But the New JDL went the whole distance. This was their report:

Yes, we walked with them, however we started to feel less love the closer we got to the staging area. (25th St and Madison Ave) One “lady” insisted on calling us “Hitler’s children”.

On the flip side, a very nice black guy, who was a medic assigned to the parade, gave us ice packs and a male participant from the parade shook James’ hand. When we got to the speakers’ area, the love was gone.

One rather angry “lady” took our pic and then went to parade “security”. A large black dude who told us since CAIR is part of the event, we can’t stand there with the signs. He told us if we didn’t leave he would get the police.

We told him very nicely fine, get the police. If the police ask us to leave, then we will go. His final attempt at having us removed, he went to a couple of large police officers in riot gear and told them about the “bad Jews”. (the saga ends)

The speeches were boring as all hell. Most of the speakers could not be understood. They should have spoke in their native languages. Carolyn Maloney spoke. I understood her. The rabbi (Mark Schneier) … the rabbi spoke liberal gibberish.

They spoke of love for the U.S. but then spoke of standing with Kapernick & other football players.  They spoke of standing with the president but then condemned DACA and his policies towards immigrants. One speaker praised Sarsour a few times.

(Note Sarsour and Schneier at “I am a Muslim, too” – at a separate event in Times Square earlier this year)

Oh yes, there were three floats. THREE . We couldn’t figure out why there was a Turkish flag and two others (not sure where they were from) on the Temple Mount float. They called it Al Aqsa. Tried to inform them otherwise but they wouldn’t listen.

Floats in 2011 — they are the same every year

2010

2010 

We tried to decide which float was the best. It was very challenging because there was such a variety. (snark intended)

One more thing, no Muslim Day Parade would be complete without some hard core “I love Jesus” people coming over. One of them danced some sort of jig. Now their t shirts were “inflammatory”. On it was – Muslims bad, Homosexuals bad, etc. (I’m paraphrasing.) No one said anything to them. Only the bad Jews/JDL.

This had to have been the most boring parade I have ever been to. Good grief. We decided we were probably the most entertaining people there.

On a good note; we brought awareness about CAIR. Many people never heard of CAIR. Now they have. End the silence! Anti-Semites have no place on our streets!

Part 3, IN CONCLUSION:

For ten years I’ve observed this annual event. And now, as it dwindles down to obscurity, I need to look back before I walk away.

Supported by CAIR and the very left-leaning Jewish BDSers (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), these elements did not make the bridge inviting nor strong. It is not the first time that terrorism has made its presence known within the ranks of the parade.

In 2013 — the militant flags marched down Madison Avenue.

2013 — The Muslim Brotherhood Black Hand salute.

2014 — plastic guns and virgins.

Plastic guns. Jailed virgins. What were they thinking?

Women hung. The scaffold. The noose.  These were parade floats in 2014.

In 2017, the creeping jihad was still at work. Indonesians, historically victims of the Muslim invasions, marched in praise of their conquerors. Islam was forced upon their country at the point of a sword and yet they do not repudiate it. They live the lie that Islam can live in peace with the rest of the world.

In 2017, the signs of discord were further exposed in the Buddhist uprising in Myanamar. Who is the victim? Who is the aggressor?

The media and the international elites are framing the jihad in Burma as another “Muslims are victims” story. But it is not. It is another Islamic supremacist holy war to kill and conquer — more of what we are seeing in the Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Israel, Congo, Thailand, Chechnya, etc. etc.”Rohingyas threat to national security, they have link with Jihad.” [Pamela Geller]

Is this another Reconquista? Are they taking back their country from centuries of Muslim horror, as the Andalusians did centuries ago? Perhaps Myanmar has had ENOUGH.

An addendum:

And then, I remembered my NYC niqab and hijabs photo essays from 2012.  They present more evidence of creeping Islam — CAIR — ISNA — ICNA — Linda Sarsour — the Muslim Brotherhood — Muslim Student Association — slowly, but surely, bringing the seventh century to the modern public square — normalizing barbarism.

Are the second and third generations of Muslims assimilating? I found the remnants of  seventh-century Arabia walking around Times Square.  It was unsettling

It’s a day the left would rather we ignore. It’s a day that Islamic supremacists secretly and not so secretly celebrate. It’s a day the elites call a day of service. In service to whom? The attackers? The simpering soft selling and apologetics is a deliberate distraction and a diversion from discussing the enemy and their ideology. September 11th is national day of mourning. Period.  (Pamela Geller)

…

A day that lives in Infamy.

What caught my eye, as I got closer, was the Jewish bagpiper playing Amazing Grace and the towers of  blue light shining to the heavens. It reminds us that this is a Day of Remembrance and a Day of Mourning.

Never, Never, NEVER FORGET!

Sadly, in 2017, the truth is silenced and the enemy grows bolder.  The following video, “Can’t We Talk About This,” is an important tool in educating people about the fight against Islamic Terrorism. Never Give In.

Violent Islamists apparently demonstrate their civic pride by opening fire on crowds of infidels. France 24 has the details. It should be noted that French authorities were already pursuing terror cells throughout the country in the prelude to Sunday’s presidential election, the first to be held while under siege. An illuminating comment on the current state of affairs in France was made by a correspondent for the BBC, who observed that French intelligence and military forces believe there are too many Islamists-a little under 10,000 to be precise-to monitor each one individually.

Which raises the question: wouldn’t it be a more practical use of resources to prevent Islamists from settling in France in the first place? Just a thought.

Could the timing of this attack be symbolic? 

The Guardian is live-blogging the terrorist assault upon the UK’s seat of power.

For those of you under the misimpression that this weekend’s thwarted terror attack in France is an anomaly, Breitbart London has some sobering news. In a single 18 month span, over 230 people were murdered in jihadist attacks upon that country. And while most of us are aware of the horrors perpetrated in the Bataclan and the offices of Charlie Hebdo, few recall the many acts of terrorism which were prevented by well-trained security forces.

Perhaps, like Londoners, residents of cities like Toulouse, Marseilles, and Paris will just have to adapt to the new normal…if you can call it that.

Update: Plot twist. 

The White House won’t immediately appeal this ruling. 

Josh Blackman has an interesting post explaining the possible paths going forward for the Trump administration. 

The temporary restraining order against President Trump’s executive order is still in effect, as you probably know. Josh Blackman has a good analysis of the ruling on his website, which I would recommend reading. There are a number of fascinating and disturbing elements of this decision, including the imposition of a “no evidence” standard upon the Trump administration. Although some are attempting to put the best face on what is a sweeping, unprecedented ruling, the truth is that we are entering uncharted waters. We have the largest circuit court in the federal system essentially erasing the plenary power doctrine as it relates to immigration matters.

The fact that the administration was intentionally hamstrung in its appeal is irrelevant in the larger context, i.e. we are dealing with a federal judiciary that’s unwilling to recognize Congressional and presidential authority to execute immigration law. What’s more, the reasoning, such as it is, behind this decision is so shoddy that it would be laughable if the consequences weren’t so dire. The idea that universities and colleges have a vested interest, i.e. continuing the flow of tuition dollars from the coffers of foreign students, which supersedes the national security concerns of the President and his cabinet would be an absurdity in any other era. Keep in mind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the defiant architect of the 9/11 massacres, was brought to the United States along with other Muslim students from abroad in order to pad the enrollment and keep afloat a struggling North Carolina college.

Even if the statutory and Constitutional rationales for enjoining the President’s executive order are incredibly weak-which they are-that doesn’t make the path forward any easier. Whether the administration decides to rewrite this EO from scratch, as some have suggested, or simply appeals to the Supreme Court, those of us who believe that American interests outweigh those of foreign nationals and international organizations have already been dealt a grievous blow by a judiciary which no longer recognizes itself as a co-equal branch of government.

How long before this quasi-ironic tweet becomes a reality? I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.

The Soho Forum is a fantastic new institution which explores important philosophical and political issues, many of them topical in nature, through rigorously argued debates. An upcoming event might be of particular interest to our readers, as it features libertarian economist Benjamin Powell and the head of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian. They’ll be debating the proposition that American should have free migration, barring certain disqualifying features on the part of potential migrants, e.g. direct ties to terrorism, contagious diseases.

Coming as it does on the heels of President Trump’s controversial executive order, this should be a fascinating discussion. You can reserve your tickets and RSVP at this link, and find details of future events by perusing the Soho Forum’s website. Regardless of your views, vis-a-vis immigration, I hope all of you in the New York City Area take advantage of this opportunity.

Update: The stories of those who were murdered. 

Alexandre Bissonnette has been charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder. 

The names of the victims have been released. 

The sole suspect in the Quebec City mosque attack has been identified. 

In a correction of an earlier report, it now appears that only one of the detained individuals is a suspect. The other is being held as a witness, according to police. 

2 suspects have been identified, one of Moroccan origin and one who is evidently Quebecois.  

Another reminder of why no one trusts the drive-by media. 

The motives and identities of the assailants haven’t been revealed, but we do know that there are at least 5 fatalities, as well as many other victims. Breitbart has posted links to some firsthand accounts of the attack, which is the first major terrorist incident on Canadian soil since the failed 2016 plot by ISIS supporter Aaron Driver.

President Obama’s last week in office has brought with it a flood of breaking news. The biggest story, of course, is his commutation of Chelsea Manning’s 35 year prison sentence. My own impression is that his decision is designed as a cynical bit of legacy-building, with the added benefit of perhaps inducing Julian Assange to leave the Ecuadorian embassy. Although that prospect appears increasingly remote, it very well might have factored into his judgement. Overlooked in news coverage of the Manning commutation is the grant of clemency to Oscar Lopez Rivera, a leader of the Marxist-Leninist Puerto Rican terror group FALN. Like Bill Clinton’s pardon of previously released FALN terrorists, which was intertwined with his wife’s Senate bid in New York, this decision was politically-based. In this case, as a parting gift to violent socialists who still comprise a significant portion of the Democratic base and will populate future revolutions.

Another early Christmas present for the hard left  comes in the form of the President’s revocation of the federal government’s Wet Foot, Dry Foot policy. It should be recalled that the policy itself was implemented prior to a pivotal election year, when former President Clinton was attempting to empty Guantanamo Bay of Cuban refugees. In order to prevent a repeat of Mariel-which sunk a young Bill Clinton’s chances of being reelected governor of Arkansas-he struck a deal with Fidel Castro which limited the number of Cubans who would be allowed to enter the United States. As Humberto Fontova astutely points out, one of the unreported effects of this adjustment will be an increase in the number of dependents flowing into the United States with a commensurate decrease in the amount of skilled professionals immigrating.

Even as the Obama administration’s days draw to a close, it continues to imperil the health and safety of ordinary American citizens, as ICE and CBP effectively serve as a shuttle service for unidentified illegal aliens under the pretext of being reunited with family. How many innocent people will meet the same fate of Sarah Root because of this willful indifference to the lives of Americans? Even  as people living throughout the United States are placed in imminent danger through the reckless ideology of the outgoing administration, the tide of refugees from Asia, Africa, and broken nations like Haiti shows no signs of ebbing. The conditions Barack Obama and his lawless bureaucracy have established bear all the hallmarks of the disaster we’ve seen unfold across Europe over the past 2 years.

Unfortunately, there are also ominous hints being dropped by President-Elect Donald Trump, who has responded favorably to proposals to salvage his predecessor’s patently unconstitutional administrative amnesty. In addition to going back on one of the central planks of the platform upon which he was elected-and deflating any enthusiasm felt by his staunchest supporters-this maneuver would significantly enhance the prestige and power of the very worst people, e.g. Paul Ryan, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham. The idea that one of the first domestic policy decisions will be to embrace the instincts of open borders fetishists and neoconservatives is unconscionable. If Trump had campaigned on a promise to continue the disastrous immigration policies of the current administration, he never would have made it past New Hampshire. This is an idea which needs to be categorically rejected by any right-thinking immigration patriot.

In order not to black pill the majority of our audience, we should leave you with a bit of good news from abroad. It seems that Norway has finally shown some of the Scandinavian backbone which Sweden surrendered several centuries ago. While the Norwegians haven’t ejected every jihadist apologist and Muslim fifth columnist from their nation, 2016 did see a record number of deportations. Although too many of these deportees were Europeans, it’s significant that there is a growing movement within that country to assert its sovereignty in the face of a Muslim population that has grown to nearly 150,000.

Perhaps it’s not too late to save Europe.
