Leading NJ Democrat Congressional Candidate Volunteered to Join an Al Qaeda Terrorist Front Group

Masks. Off.

This guy was also a character witness -- a positive character witness, mind you -- for the "Blind Sheikh" terrorist who was the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Muslim terrorists' first attempt to bring down the towers. In case you forgot, they parked vans filled with explosives next to the pillars that supported the entire WTC, which went up from the bedrock through the underground parking garages and then through the entire towers.

The plan would have worked, except that they just didn't bring enough explosives. Just eight years later, Osama bin Ladin would perfect the plan by using planes as the bombs.

And what a shock, this loyal Muslim citizen who Shares Our Values and certainly would not support terrorism turns out to in fact support terrorism.

And Democrats are about to make him a Member of Congress, with the ability to smuggle bombs into Congress itself.

Leading N.J. Dem Congressional candidate Adam Hamawy volunteered with Al-Qaida-tied group in Bosnia

After traveling with the 'Blind Sheikh,' Hamawy worked with Benevolence International Foundation, later shuttered as an Al-Qaida front

Adam Hamawy's past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).

Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy's service as the sheikh's translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy's testimony on the sheikh's behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.

Oh, I guess there was a plan for a whole series of bombings, after the attempt to destroy the towers and kill 6000 or more people. (Remember, if this plan had worked, there would have been no evacuation time to get out of the building before it collapsed).

IIRC, the blast penetrated through six floors, and it subsequently cost $1B to clean all the soot out of the building.

But just one year before Hamawy took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abdel-Rahman, the now-Congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies: to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing "logistical support" to Al-Qaida.

In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, according to a copy Jewish Insider recovered through an archive of print publications, Hamawy described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the "Benevolence International Foundation."

...

Sarajevo and Zenica were the exact cities where Benevolence International maintained its offices -- offices that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for Al-Qaida. The 9/11 Commission Report would later identify the foundation's base in the Bosnian capital as part of the "impressive array of offices [that] covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activities" that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s.

Hamawy, who has scored endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in his New Jersey congressional bid, did not respond to repeated questions about his relationship with Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia.

The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the "Blind Sheikh" receiving significant coverage in recent weeks.

A 1995 court transcript shows how the then-medical student Hamawy described meeting the Islamist leader in 1991, visiting him at his home and accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to a conference in Detroit. In the courtroom, he and the sheikh greeted each other warmly, and Hamawy denied a government informant's claim that Abdel-Rahman had urged the assassination of the then-president of Egypt.

But no other publication has reported Hamawy's connection to Benevolence International since the Star-Ledger interview in 1996.

Oh the media's covering it up? What a surprise!

Update: More.

...

But what has given the plastic surgeon such recent prominence has been his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip during Israel's war with Hamas, including at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The IDF struck the hospital repeatedly in 2025 to take out an underground Hamas command center that it said operated beneath the medical center.

In multiple interviews in far-left media, Hamawy has denied the existence of such a terrorist post, and insisted to Jacobin that the facility was "a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

Guys, diversity is our strength, and we could all use Cultural Enrichment until we are all raped and murdered into submission.
