More radicalized than ever: a Democratic candidate with ties to Al Qaeda won a key primary in New Jersey.

The far-left pro-Palestine activist Adam Hamawy, with ties to an Al Qaeda terrorist, won the primary elections for the Democratic Party in a key district of New Jersey. As it is a Democratic stronghold, the candidate who wins the opposing primary is guaranteed a seat in the United States Congress.

Hamawy, a 56-year-old doctor born in Egypt and a former Army trauma surgeon, received support from far-left streamer Hasan Piker and Senator Bernie Sanders in his bid to reach Capitol Hill. The candidate has ties to Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka the "Blind Sheikh," whose followers carried out the car bomb attack on the Twin Towers in 1993.

An investigation by Jewish Insider exposed the relationship between Hamawy and Abdel-Rahman, which dates back to a road trip they took together to Detroit in 1991. Additionally, Hamawy served as a translator for the extremist leader during a press conference in which he denied any involvement in the 1993 attack in New York. Later, in 1995, Hamawy testified in defense of the sheikh during the trial in which Abdel-Rahman was convicted of planning a series of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

A victory for the far-left wing of the Democratic Party

Hamawy defeated twelve other Democratic candidates in the primaries to succeed Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, who is retiring from her legislative role. In addition to the support from Piker and Sanders, the pro-Islamic terrorism doctor received funding and endorsement from anti-Israel organizations like American Priorities, an entity that funded the mayoral campaign of Zohran Mamdani.

Furthermore, Hamawy was backed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization whose leader, Nihad Awad, publicly stated that he was "happy to see" the terrorist attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Republican Congresswoman from Florida, Anna Paulina Luna, commented on Hamawy's victory, echoing a latent concern within her bloc. "There is no way he can obtain a credential for access to classified information. He poses a risk to national security," Luna stated.
