“We Will Never Forget” goes up against $2 million in Islamic cash.
There are two towers in Old Bridge Plaza that are far shorter than the ones they memorialize, but taller than any man, and around them are the names of a dozen victims of the Islamic terror attacks of September 11. East Brunswick has its own two towers standing tall in the center of a garden and wrapped in the flag with eight names carved around them. In Monroe, there are two flags and nine names, and in Plainsboro there are two benches and four plaques, and over in Cranbury, there is a post office named after Todd Beamer who said “Let’s Roll” on Flight 93.
New Jersey, almost more than any other state, is dotted with memorials to the victims of the two Muslim terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in nearby Manhattan, the initial attempt in 1993 and the successful attack in 2001.
Now New Jersey’s 12th congressional district, stretching from Plainfield, less than an hour away from Ground Zero, to the state capital in Trenton, may elect the translator for Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, widely known as the ‘Blind Sheikh’, the Islamic terror leader at the center of the original attack and a follow-up plan to attack the Statue of Liberty, to Congress.
In April, Freedom Center Investigates broke the story that Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim plastic surgeon running for Congress, had testified for the defense at the Blind Sheikh’s terror trial. Our reporting demonstrated that Hamawy had been part of an entourage driven to a terror-ridden convention for a top Islamic terrorist figure who inspired Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Even while running for Congress, Hamawy has still failed to directly condemn his terror sheikh who was such a crucial figure in the Islamic terrorism world that ISIS had urged kidnapping Americans to hold them hostage in exchange for his release.
Other media outlets, notably the Free Beacon and FOX News, picked up the story and did more digging to discover that Hamawy had enjoyed an even closer relationship with the terror leader and helped him with translations. Rahman’s other translator, Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali, had confessed at the trial that Rahman had directed him to bomb the George Washington Bridge and other landmarks. At the trial, Hamawy however had been brought in to deny a government informant’s claim that the Blind Sheikh had called for terror attacks, but was forced to admit that he had called for Jihad and “conquering the land of the infidels”.
I reached out to Hamawy and asked him if he had any relationship with Ali, but once again the campaign responded by stonewalling me and fearfully refusing to provide any response.
And yet the congressional candidate was so close to the terror leader that he appeared as Rahman’s translator at a press conference denying his role in the terror attack.
“Two months after six people died in the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the infamous ‘Blind Sheikh,’ held a news conference at his Jersey City, N.J., home to deny his guilt. Standing with him that day was a young medical student from New Jersey who had followed the sheikh’s teachings, traveled with him, and had graciously agreed to translate the sheikh’s press release from Arabic to English. The young man was Adam Hamawy, now considered a front-runner in the crowded Democratic primary race,” Tom Moran reported at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Hamawy claimed that the Blind Sheikh “was a leader of the community” and taught “how to practice as a normal Muslim.” A few years after Hamawy had testified for the terror sheikh, Osama bin Laden had held a press conference featuring two of Rahman’s sons who handed out cards with their father’s picture and his Islamic call to attack America. “A fatwa of the captive Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman … To all Muslims everywhere: Destroy their countries. Tear them to pieces. Destroy their economies, burn their corporations, destroy their businesses, sink their ships, and bring down their airplanes. Kill them in the sea, on land, and in the air.” --->READ MORE HERE
Democrat Adam Hamawy, who was a defense witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman in his 1995 trial, is the frontrunner in the race to fill an open New Jersey House seat
Victims and survivors of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing reacted with shock and horror at the possibility—if not likelihood—that a close associate of the "Blind Sheikh" terrorist mastermind who inspired the attack may soon be a member of Congress.
Adam Hamawy, a Princeton plastic surgeon, is a frontrunner in a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D.) in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th Congressional District—despite his years-long friendship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Muslim extremist cleric who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1993 bombing.
The February 1993 blast killed 6 people and wounded more than 1,000. Rahman, better known as "the Blind Sheikh," went on trial in 1995 for his role in the attack. Hamawy was a defense witness in the spectacular trial and described the terrorist as a "leader of the community" on the campaign trail just last week.
He also claimed he never heard Rahman discuss terrorism or violence, even though he took a 13-hour road trip in 1991 with the Blind Sheikh to a Detroit conference called "Toward a Global Islamic Economy in Detroit," which featured multiple extremist speakers talking about jihad and infidels.
"I would never vote for Hamawy because of this and again, saying that as a lifelong Democrat and someone who really wants to keep New Jersey blue, I would find another Democrat to vote for even if it meant writing in someone. I could not with a clear conscience ever vote for this man. Nor would I encourage anybody else to. Some things are just not forgivable," Michael Macko, a retired fashion consultant who lives in Morristown, told the Washington Free Beacon.
Macko's father, William Macko, worked at the World Trade Center as an assistant chief mechanical supervisor. He was killed by the blast while on his lunch break in the basement of the north tower.
"These are people being associated with the very horrific killing of my father. Whenever I see things like this it's hard because your immediate reaction is just unbelief," Michael Macko continued.
"Maybe he didn't know how bad the sheik was," Macko said of Hamawy, "but I would find that hard to believe given his closeness to him."
Memories of the 1993 bombing, when a terrorist bomb exploded in the underground parking garage of the north tower, have been obscured by the horror of the 2001 attacks that brought both towers down. But survivors of the 1993 attack say they are still suffering. --->READ MORE HERE
