Links - 6th April 2026 (2 - Migrants: US - Islamist Attacks)

Austin mass shooter Ndiaga Diagne became citizen despite string of busts - "The gunman behind Austin’s possible terror-related mass shooting entered the US  and cemented his legal immigration status under Democratic administrations — despite a growing criminal record.  Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, arrived in America on March 13, 2000, on a B-2 tourist visa during the Clinton administration... Diagne — who killed two people and wounded 14 more during his rampage outside a Texas bar early Sunday — then became a lawful permanent resident on an IR-6 visa in June 2006 when he married a US citizen, the source said.   He had already racked up at least one arrest before that, for illegal vending in June 2001 in New York City... He then went on to lodge a string of other arrests in the Big Apple between 2008 and 2016 — but that didn’t keep him becoming a naturalized US citizen on April 5, 2013, around the start of former President Barack Obama’s second term...   He was wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie at the time of the rampage and had a Quran in his car"

Will Cain on X - "This month:
Austin shooter - naturalized citizen
OD shooter - naturalized citizen
NYC teen bombers - children of naturalized citizens
Michigan synagogue attack - naturalized citizen
Who are we giving citizenship to in America? We have a legal immigration problem."
Will Ricciardella on X - "We went from 9/11 vigilance to literally importing terrorists virtually overnight. Intergalactic levels of self-sabotage"

Meme - Kathryn Paisner @KathrynPaisner: "When you compare the @nytimes  profile of the Michigan synagogue attacker to the profile of another deranged bigot who set out to commit mass murder at a place of worship, the contrast is really quite striking."
"Dylann Roof, Suspect in Charleston Shooting, Flew the Flags of White Power. Dylann Storm Roof wearing a jacket with the flags of apartheid-era South Africa, top, and Rhodesia, as modern-day Zimbabwe was called during a period of white rule."
Aviva Klompas @Avivaklompas: "The Michigan synagogue attacker tried to murder 140 Jewish children. So the @nytimes presents him as a "quiet restaurant worker""
The New York Times: "The Michigan Synagogue Attacker Was a Quiet Restaurant Worker"
Terrorism supporter logic - this shows the New York Times is pro Israel

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on X - "The reports coming out of West Bloomfield are horrifying. I am praying for the safety of everyone at Temple Israel. No one should face violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship."
๐Ÿ’œSarah๐Ÿ’œ| ✡️๐Ÿณ️‍⚧️ on X - "You do not get to attend events with Hamas members here in Michigan, or constantly call for globalizing the intifada, and then offer condolences when someone does it. Fuck you."

Conflict Alarm on X - "BREAKING: The brothers (Qasim and Ibrahim Ghazali) of the suspect in the Michigan synagogue attack appear to have been affiliated with Hezbollah's Imam Al-Mahdi Scouts."
The Persian Jewess on X - "CBS News confirms the Michigan synagogue terrorist’s family were “members of Hezbollah’s rocket unit.” The same rocket unit that has been indiscriminately firing rockets at residential homes in Israel for 3 years."
Clearly if you attack Jews and kill civilians on purpose, it's Resistance but when Jews fight back and kill civilians accidentally, it's Genocide

Omri Ceren on X - "Did the CNN expert mention that the two brothers targeted in the Israeli strike were Hezbollah terrorists? We are in the middle of a full-blown legitimacy crisis, in which the institutions that are supposed to produce facts and knowledge are no longer trusted. Yet journalists and news outlets are still parading "experts" who rationalize terrorism in the U.S., in the process of obfuscating terrorism in the Middle East."

The New York Times on X - "The man who rammed his truck into a Michigan synagogue on Thursday had four family members who were killed in an airstrike in Lebanon the week before, a Lebanese official and a Michigan imam said."
Yoni Michanie on X - "Imagine the NYT in 1994: ‘The man who shot up a mosque had family members killed in a Palestinian terror attack the week before.’  They would never print that.   When the victim is a synagogue, suddenly the attacker’s grievances become the lede.   The editorial instinct to contextualize antisemitic violence is automatic and unconscious — and that’s exactly what makes it so insidious.  Jews are always the exception."

Senator Ashley Moody on X - "I know I’m new to Washington, but can someone please explain how the Obama adminstration allowed in and granted citizenship to the brother of a Hezbollah commander?" Rebekah Jones on X - "Israel killed his family. So he drove his car into a synagogue that advertises trips to steal from his people. I may not agree, but I understand."
Rebekah Jones on X - "A "house of worship" that fundraisers for a foreign military engaged in genocide is no longer neutral. A father whose two young children were murdered by that foreign military saught revenge against those complicit in his children's deaths. THEY put people in danger by supporting a foreign terrorist campaign.  We may not like vigilante justice, but don't pretend you don't understand why a father who just lost his children would do what he did."
In 2 hours she went from not agreeing to supporting it

Matt Stoller on X - "The guys family was killed last week by Israel and he was taking revenge. That’s wrong. Murder is wrong. But this isn’t some uptick of antisemitism, it’s blowback. A lot of us have been saying that Israel is bad for the Jews. It is. We have to reject that country."
PoIiMath on X - "Imagine if a man attacked a black church, specifically targeting black children, because a black man killed his daughter. Imagine if someone told you "that's not racism, that's blowback"  idk, that would seem like a weird take to me bc it's saying that the killer is not a someone with agency. Because, wink wink, of course the killer would target black children. That's just the natural inclination of people "like that". You know. *Those* people. You just have to expect this kind of behavior from them."

StopJewHatred ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐ŸคŸ on X - "@TorontoStar joins the chorus of left wing media making excuses for violent Islamists terror attacks."
Barbara Kay on X - "Context is so important, @TorontoStar. Thanks for the reminder. Although I don't remember you citing the fact that the polytechnic massacres who killed 14 women in Montreal had had his application to the Engineering Faculty rejected. That must have really harsher his mellow. So you see..."

Benjamin Weingarten on X - "By leading his statement with an allusion to the fact would-be jihadist Ayman Ghazali's family members were killed in an Israeli attack in Lebanon -- and of course without noting the targeted were allegedly Hezbollah members, the terrorist organization seeking to annihilate Israel -- Dearborn Heights' Mayor Mo Baydoun makes one thing abundantly clear:   He is justifying the act of Ghazali crashing his truck through a synagogue laced with explosives and armed and ready to massacre 140 kids at the day school, and others present there.   He is justifying the attempted mass murder of Jews in America -- and because Israel is defending itself from those seeking to mass murder Jews in Israel.  He incidentally is showing you that for such genocidal psychopaths, "anti-Zionism" is a thin facade for Jew-hatred.  His concern isn't with the would-be victims of the undescribed "incident." It's with the aggressor.   And then it's with nameless "communities everywhere...confronting rising hate and senseless violence."    The Mayor doesn't even feign condemning the attack and attacker at the outset, only to then try to rationalize and justify the unjustifiable.  That's how confident he is in his position in Dearborn Heights.  Incidentally, Mayor Baydoun includes a Lebanese flag and a watermelon -- a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian cause -- in his social media bio."
Hans Mahncke on X - "Of the 3,000 people murdered on 9/11, there are roughly 30,000 grieving immediate family members, somewhere like 100,000 grieving extended family members, and about half a million grieving close friends and immediate colleagues. How many of them decided to shoot up a mosque?"

Eitan Fischberger on X - "The terrorist who tried to kill Jews at the Michigan synagogue yesterday lived in Dearborn Heights. After the attack, the mayor of Dearborn Heights issued this psychotic statement explicitly excusing antisemitic terrorism"
Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️ on X - "I think the wider left needs to look at the way that supposedly "integrated" Muslims in America continually monomaniacally focus on Israel when excusing hate crimes against Jews and contemplate what message tolerating this rhetoric, or excusing it, sends to the median voter about liberal priorities.  You can call people Islamophobic and xenophobic bigots all you want, but the truth of the matter is that it is reasonable to wonder how someone like this terrorist became a naturalized US citizen, and how the author of a statement this deranged became the elected mayor of suburban city with a population over 60,000.  You can't "just a bad apple" this. It symbolizes a flaw in US immigration screening, where someone with such Unamerican thoughts and priorities, and family connections to Hezbollah, earns citizenship while Mexican citizens, who have worked harmlessly in this country for decades, have zero path to citizenship.  It also shows that something is deeply, deeply wrong with the citizenry of Dearborn, and that this sort of thinking (and in Hamtrack nearby, which also has a Muslim plurality or majority) is endemic there. That they elect people who make statements like this shows what level of antisemitism is tolerated, or worryingly, approved of.  That we have metropolitan areas in America where a significant portion of the voting population thinks it is understandable or justified to try to blow up dozens of Reform Jewish preschoolers because the attackers family got eliminated by Israel for being Hezbollah operatives is... not great. It doesn't take being a hateful person that reflexively despises all Arabs or Muslims to see that.  The more than the wider left refuses to grapple with the reality of the open acceptance of antisemitism in certain immigrant communities from countries where Jews have been ethnically cleansed, the more the median voter will disapprove of the Democratic party, and flirt with voting for the right. Nothing motivates voters like primal fear, especially those old enough to remember watching fellow Americans die in real time on the news during 9/11, and the more real that fear is, the more it is brushed off as inconsequential even when it is reasonable, the more people will grow to distrust the wider left."

Jesse Arm on X - "My God.  Look at how local press in Dearborn are framing this.  “The suspect died following reports of an active shooter at the synagogue, where police say a truck crashed into the building and shots were fired.”  Yes—because the armed suspect himself rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the synagogue.  And isn’t it interesting how we’re constantly told that hating Jews and hating the Jewish state are two entirely separate, disconnected things—yet when a Lebanese immigrant from Dearborn attempts a mass-casualty terrorist attack at a Jewish preschool in West Bloomfield, the fact that his family was impacted by a conflict started by a terrorist organization against Israel on the other side of the globe suddenly becomes relevant context.  Depraved, toxic insanity. Terrorism that we imported into our own country. Pure poison for America."

Lebanon town grapples with family ties to Michigan attack : NPR - "As you arrive in this town in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, one of the first things you notice is a poster of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, plastered across a concrete wall.  Usually about 25,000 people live here, and many support the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah."
Norm McDonald is laughing in his grave
When even NPR admits they are Hezbollah supporters

Magills on X - "For everyone saying Muslims can’t assimilate to American culture let me point out that they’ve attempted two school shootings today"

Brianna Wu on X - "I want to be very clear about what is happening. Media and the freak left have decided that Jewish children in America are valid military targets if it helps the cause of eliminating Israel."

Hen Mazzig on X - "If your country has freedom of religion, but members of one religion need to pay millions on security just to safely gather, then your country does not have freedom of religion."

Threads - "If a mosque was targeted for violence, exactly zero of my “progressive” friends would blame the government of a Muslim country. They would blame Islamaphobia, full stop. It is no different than societies of the past blaming us for our own oppression. The justifications and excuses I’m seeing are only ever reserved for one minority group. And we are sick of your shit."

Meme - thatkoreanjew: "Do you know how many Americans have family members murdered by Hamas and other IR terror groups? A lot. Do you know how many of them have retaliated by attacking an American mosque? Zero."

Meme - Ike Ijeh: "Up to a quarter of a million people were tragically killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the 81 years since, I cannot recall a single incident of retaliatory Japanese terrorism against Christianity or the United States."
Robert McCartney @McCartneyWP: "CNN expert says it appears Michigan synagogue attacker lost family members to Israeli air strike in Lebanon in past week."

Michigan synagogue shooter who drove car into Jewish temple is PRAISED by neighbors in Muslim enclave where he lived - "A shooter who drove a truck loaded with explosives into a synagogue was praised by locals in his Michigan neighborhood, which is America's most Muslim.   Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, a naturalized US citizen born in Lebanon, was killed by security on Thursday after ramming his pickup truck into the Temple Israel synagogue in the Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield.  Ghazali lived in a $315,600 home in nearby Dearborn Heights... The gunman lost four family members - two brothers, a niece, and a nephew - in an Israeli airstrike in his native Lebanon last week, authorities confirmed. His longtime neighbor Kandie Zaidieh, who described Ghazali as 'my rock,' was shocked to learn of his involvement in the attack and suspects the tragedy in Lebanon may have played a role in his decision-making.  'Because his brother died, right?' Zaidieh, 60, questioned when approached by the Detroit Free Press. She added: 'He was the best. The best neighbor. Always quiet, a hard worker. He was always pleasant. Everybody liked him.'"

HonestReporting on X - "Seriously, you don’t hate the @nytimes enough. A synagogue with a preschool is targeted. The NYT reminds readers it was “dedicated to the formation of a Jewish state.” The journalistic equivalent of: “well… what was she wearing?”"

Orli Peter on X - "You can hear the echo if you listen across media outlets. A line dropped here, a shrug there, each one shifting the Overton window another inch. Until the moral ground moves beneath our feet and the unthinkable becomes speakable: that shooting up Jewish children in a synagogue nursery is somehow justified because …something something …Israel."

Peter Kazanjy on X - "So just two days after Haroon tried to cancel me for documenting the clear, public math associated with Islamic terrorism in the US in response to the failed islamic terrorism bombing in New York, there's been not one, but TWO new Islamic terrorism attacks in the US - both at schools.  It's a problem. It's ok to talk about it.   Don't let people silence you."

Meme - Mike Pesca @pescami: "When a truck crashes into the front doors of your synagogue and the driver starts shooting, the proper response is "but our net favorability is 2 points higher than Catholics""
Matt Stoller @matthewstoller: "Jews are disproportionately better off on virtually every social indicator and position of power than the median American, and Judaism polls as the religion with the highest approval rating. Antisemitism may make you feel alive but it's not a real problem for you."
Joe Roberts @Joe_Roberts01: ""There is no antisemitism on the left" is the kind of lie people tell when ideology matters more to 'them than truth. Everyone knows it exists. Everyone..."

Jews Fight Back ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ on X - "๐Ÿšจ MEET MOHAMED BAILOR JALLOH, 36 The jihadist who opened fire inside an ROTC classroom today at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.  Born in Sierra Leone.  Later became a naturalized U.S. citizen.  In 2016, the FBI arrested him for supporting ISIS.  He cheered the slaughter of Americans.  He told an informant he “thought about conducting an attack all the time.”  He talked about carrying out a Fort Hood-style massacre.  He said doing it during Ramadan would be “100 percent the right thing.”  He pled guilty.  In 2017, he was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.  He got out early.  Today he walked into a classroom and asked:  “Is this an ROTC class?”  He heard yes. Then opened fire.  He murdered the retired military officer teaching the class.  He critically wounded two ROTC cadets.  A hero ROTC cadet charged him with nothing but a knife and ended him right there.  BUT HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?  He wasn’t born here.  He swore allegiance to a jihadist death cult.  He was caught red-handed plotting our murder.  Then he was released back into society.  Why wasn’t he denaturalized?  If swearing allegiance to ISIS isn’t enough, what is?"

Ken Dilanian on X - "The convicted ISIS sympathizer who carried out today’s shooting at Old Dominion U. was released from prison in December 2024. Why wasn’t the FBI monitoring him? Why wasn’t he, as a native of Sierra Leone, denaturalized and deported by the Trump Admin?"
Legal Phil on X - "Just unbelievable to ask why the Trump Admin didn't deport him, after the left has been using every legal means (including abusing power) to stop deportations."
champagneayatollah on X - "He's a citizen though. And so far, the Trump administration has made only small scale efforts to denaturalize anyone, usually based on fraud. Can you imagine the hue and cry if Trump was more aggressive in this space? It would make the current wailing over enforcement seem mild."
Legal Phil on X - "Of course. They would lose their minds. The pretending is ridiculous."

Republican Patriots | Facebook - "Stephanie Minter, a 41-year-old woman just waiting for her bus, was brutally stabbed to death in a random attack at a Fairfax County bus stop. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh—a man with over 30 prior arrests, including multiple violent felonies—was allowed to roam free time and again. Charges dropped, bail granted, repeat offenses ignored. Now an innocent life is gone forever. The national media—CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, and the rest—have given this horrific story zero coverage. Not one story, not one mention. If the demographics were flipped, it would dominate headlines for weeks with wall-to-wall outrage and endless panels on "systemic" issues. This selective silence speaks volumes. It shows whose lives truly matter to the legacy press and the progressive policies that keep dangerous criminals on our streets. Say her name: Stephanie Minter. Demand real justice, tougher enforcement, and accountability before more families are destroyed."
