🚨BREAKING AMERICA - THE JIHADI PLOT THICKENS WEEKS AGO, WE CALLED FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHO WE BELIEVE IS A POTENTIAL THREAT INSIDE THE STATE DEPARTMENT: 🛑Jomana JIhad Qaddour. NOW - ONE OF HER LONGTIME TERROR-ASSOCIATED CONTACTS, 🛑 Salah Sarsour, HAS JUST BEEN PICKED UP BY ICE. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS WE EXPOSED OF Jomana Qaddour and Salah Sarsour, working and traveling together THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATION - HOW DID JOMANA JIHAD QADDOR GET A SECURITY CLEARANCE 🚨 BACK STORY Jomana Jihad Qaddour, the Senior Syria Advisor at the U.S. State Department who helps shape America’s policy on Syria, has DEEP Muslim Brotherhood ties that should have disqualified her from government service - were these disclosed? 🚨 WE SHOWED 🔺Her education under jihad recruiter Hamed Ghazali (named in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum, now in Texas, suing to collect tax dollars) 🔺Her father, Jihad Qaddour (longtime MAS Treasurer, who we showed flashing the Rabia Brotherhood gesture at a 2013 rally) 🔺Her own leadership in the Muslim Brotherhood–tied MSA & MAS at the University of Kansas 🔺Her 2013 board role at Islamic Relief USA (amid Hamas-praise scandals) 🔺Her participation in the Hamas-linked Viva Palestina Gaza Convoy ❓ Did Jomana Qaddour disclose her ties to Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Relief USA, which is banned in several countries? We released the very troubling photos of Qaddour as proof of her troubling background: Qaddour in Gaza with convoy members, checking passports in Egypt, relaxing at the beach in Al-Aqaba, Jordan, all from Viva Palestina albums. A report quoting her calling Gaza a “prison” during the trip. (This is what her close friends still say today) Viva Palestina was exposed by the Investigative Project on Terrorism as a front that funneled cash, vehicles, and aid directly to HAMAS networks. 🚨AND NOW - THE PLOT HAS EXPLODED Just yesterday, ICE detained notorious Hamas fundraiser Salah Sarsour - the longtime AMP national board member with decades of terror ties: 🔺1995 Israeli prison for supporting Hamas 🔺Close friendship with a Hamas military commander 🔺FBI memos tying him and his brother to the Holy Land Foundation (largest terror-financing conviction in U.S. history) 🔺Years of alleged money laundering through his Milwaukee furniture stores 🚨THE CONNECTION We already showed the 2009 photo of Jomana Qaddour and Salah Sarsour together at a Muslim American Society (MAS) fundraiser in Overland Park, Kansas - the same radical circle tied to the Viva Palestina convoy effort. They don’t just appear in one old photo. They go way back. Their networks have overlapped for years - right up until recent weeks through mutual associates like radical activist Celine Kasem. Celine Kasem posted a proud arm-in-arm cab selfie with Qaddour, calling her “brave, resilient, intelligent,” and aggressively defending her against scrutiny of her ties. Then, after we exposed Kasem’s own rants calling Israel an “occupying, genocidal cancer” genociding Gaza “live on TV,” Kasem quietly deleted the post. 🚨WHAT CELINE KASEM DID NEXT IS SHOCKING! She amplified a radical terror-tied event titled: “Syria: The Blessed Revolution” - featuring the exact same network that RAIR has been warning about and calling on the U.S. government to investigate. 🛑That event included a who's who of radicals: 🔺Texas Imam Omar Suleiman (already screaming “abduction” and demanding #FreeSalahSarsour) 🔺Yasir Qadhi (EPIC) 🔺Tom Facchine 🔺Haitham al-Haddad (who called Jews “enemies of God and descendants of apes and pigs”) 🔺Moazzam Begg (former Guantanamo detainee arrested at an Al-Qaeda safe house) …and more from CAGE, DOAM, Islam21c, and other MB-linked outfits. Kasem also serves as social media coordinator for the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) - the same organization where Jomana Qaddour’s father, Jihad Qaddour, sat on the board. Their Muslim Brotherhood and overlapping networks run deep. While Omar Suleiman and this circle cry foul over Sarsour’s detention, one of Sarsour’s photographed longtime associates remains in a senior State Department role shaping U.S. Syria policy. 🚨WHY IS NO ONE CONNECTING THESE DOTS? We are laying it out plainly: 🔺A documented Hamas financier (Sarsour) photographed with a senior State Department official (Qaddour) 🔺Qaddour’s history in the Hamas-linked Viva Palestina convoy 🔺Deep Muslim Brotherhood ties running through her family, education, associations, and this overlapping network — still active up to recent weeks 🚨 SERIOUS QUESTIONS THE STATE DEPARTMENT MUST ANSWER ❓Did Jomana Qaddour disclose her long-standing connection to Salah Sarsour? ❓Did she disclose her participation in the Viva Palestina convoy? ❓ Did she disclose her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and ongoing associations with this network? ❓Have she and Sarsour - or their shared circle - remained in contact over the years? ❓What is Jomana Qaddour sharing with Celine Kasem? ❓What is her relationship with Yasir Qadhi and Omar Suleiman? ❓Is this why no one is addressing Yasir Qadhi and Omar Suleiman's training programs for U.S. Muslims involving banned Muslim Brotherhood figures in places like Turkey? ❓Is this why massive compounds like EPIC and similar developments are being allowed to expand in Texas with NO deep investigations into the money building these fortresses? ❓Taxpayers fund her senior role. We deserve transparency, not deleted selfies, emotional deflections from @FDD and the Qarar Embassy, or silence. 🚨 ACTION Deport Salah Sarsour immediately. Full proceedings. No delays. Congress must investigate the entire network. The State Department must explain how this infiltration happened. We warned you weeks ago. The receipts are here. The photos don’t lie. The networks still overlap. THE JIHADI PLOT THICKENS PS - NEVER FORGET: When we raised legitimate questions about Jomana Qaddour, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the Qatari Embassy tried to shut us down. They answered zero concerns with facts. Not one. Instead, they launched personal attacks, smears, and public tantrums to avoid addressing the substance.
