If you won Beast Games would you rather take $5,000,000 upfront or $50,000 a month for life?

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani just endorsed a candidate for New York State Assembly who described a convicted Al Qaeda financier as an “imprisoned hero” and an Algerian man convicted of plotting to bomb New York City synagogues as her “brother.’’ I decided to do some digging and I found Aber Kawas’s old Tumblr account. I found these posts defending convicted Al Qaeda financier Fahad Hashmi and synagogue bomb plotter Ahmad Farhani. Hashmi pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to provide material support to al-Qaeda in Federal District Court in Manhattan. He was asked by Judge Loretta A. Preska whether he was pleading "because you are in fact guilty" to which Hashmi replied, "Alhamdulillah, yes.’’ Kawas described Hashmi as an “imprisoned hero.” She wrote of Hashmi and the Holy Land 5: “Each day they are locked up is a day that our hearts cannot be at ease. We cannot rest until each and everyone is free. Their lives are a source of inspiration to us for they are living martyrs, teaching us lessons in patience, sacrifice, and integrity.’’ Ahmad Farhani meanwhile was sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to plotting to blow up a synagogue in Manhattan. He told the court: “I intended to create chaos and send a message of intimidation and coercion to the Jewish population of New York City, warning them to stop mistreating Muslims.” Kawas wrote of Farhani as a “brother … whose family I know.’’ She wrote: “He saw nowhere out but death. This is the state our people are in.”

Jesus defeated death so you can live.
