The Islamization of Catholic Charities

Meet the ‘Mohammeds’ running the Church’s migration agenda.

The Catholic News Herald, “Connecting Catholics in North Carolina,” bragged that the refugee case coordinator for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, had been recently honored.

His name? Ashir Haji-Mohamed. The latter part of the name meant that he had made a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca.

Haji-Mohamed, a former Somali refugee, had previously been in the news for helping resettle Syrian Muslims, as well as Jordanians and Turks, in North Carolina. After the Biden retreat, Catholic Charities of Charlotte had also worked to bring Afghans to North Carolina.

The Islamic Center of Asheville doubled in size as Catholic Charities dispatched Afghans there, and then working with “a Catholic Charities volunteer—a Muslim from Pakistan” transported Afghan Muslims back and forth from their growing mosque in the Blue Ridge Mountains in what an article described as an “island surrounded by bright red, Trump-voting counties.”

When the Trump administration in its first term imposed a temporary travel ban for Muslim terrorist states, Mayada Idlibi, a Syrian Muslim who worked for Catholic Charities in Charlotte, and had previously taken part in World Hijab Day, attended a protest in support of Muslim mass migration to America and against President Trump’s efforts to stop Islamic terrorism.

The troubling events in Charlotte are just one example of the Islamization of Catholic Charities.

Last month, Front Page Magazine+ exclusively reported on how refugee services at the Catholic Community Services of Utah is actually run by Aden Batar, a Somali Muslim refugee imported by the organization, who also serves as the president of the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake. The case manager supervisor for refugee resettlement there is named Khalid Al Hachami.

The story shocked many people and received over 100,000 views on Twitter, but has become all too typical of Catholic refugee programs that are run by Muslims to bring Muslims to America.

And dual roles at a Catholic refugee group and an Islamic mosque are not even unusual.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston Houston employs Samira, a Muslim ‘refugee’ from Afghanistan, as a case manager. This information was put out as a press release as the Archdiocese declared that it was expecting to import hundreds of Afghan families to Houston.

Also working as a case manager at the Archdiocese was Umarfarouk Omaru Lolleh who also appears to be the chairman of the board at the United Muslim Association of Houston (UMAH).

Catholic refugee groups aren’t just bringing Muslims to America, they’re also transporting them to local mosques and even providing leaders for those mosques being set up in America.

Muslims have become so ubiquitous at Catholic Charities that you can count multiple Mohammeds in a single local operation. And that represents only a percentage of the total Muslim employees.

At Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri’s Refugee and Immigration Services two out of three case managers are Muslim. Yusuf Mohammed, one of the case managers, is a Somali Muslim who was resettled in Columbia, Missouri. He’s one of at least two Yusuf Mohammeds who works at this particular Catholic Charities center.

When the first Muslim migrant from Afghanistan arrived in Columbia, Missouri, he was welcomed by the Islamic Center of Central Missouri and the Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri. Representing Catholic Charities was Ismat Rashid Kaakar, the Catholic Charities Afghan Program Coordinator, and Frishta Aslami, the Case Management Supervisor at Catholic Charities, whose name means ‘Submission to Allah’: both of them from Afghanistan.

Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri had helped make Missouri the eighth largest recipient of Afghan migrants.

At the Refugee and Immigrant Services of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Zaki Mohammad Ahmadji serves as the director of refugee services while Sajjad Jawad works as the Supervisor of Employment Services. The archdiocese directory also shows two other employees named some form of Mohammed. That’s a lot of men named after Islam’s founder working at a Catholic organization. But many of these Catholic organizations now have more Islamic priorities.

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis’s fanaticism had previously made headlines when it sent out press releases boasting that it had defied then Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to resettle a Syrian ‘family.’ “We welcome this family during Advent, a time when the Christian community asks God to renew our hope,” then Archbishop Joseph Tobin declared in the press release.

Since much of the Catholic Charities resettlement business focuses on Muslim migrants, employing Muslims from those same parts of the world to act as case managers and interpreters to usher in more of their fellow migrants has become routine around the country.

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma posted a picture of its refugee case manager Maleeha Siddique waving an Afghan flag and bragged that “because of our recent work resettling 1,800 Afghan refugees in Oklahoma, it provided Maleeha the opportunity to serve those from her home country” and announced how happy it was that she was “able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with others, a festivity that marks the end of Ramadan.”

Basira Faizy, the Afghan case worker at Catholic Charities of Arkansas, became a celebrity after she appeared on Hillary Clinton’s short lived TV series Gutsy. Faizy came to the U.S. along with 15 members of her family.

How is Catholic Charities being so rapidly Islamized?

The story of Hekmatullah Latifi, an Afghan who used to work for USAID, is instructive. Latifi went from working for Catholic Charities at the Arlington Diocese to becoming the Assistant Director at the Resettlement Academy in D.C. for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Biden administration’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), the engine for the mass invasion of the United States, signed a $65 million contract with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to resettle ‘refugees’. Among other programs, PRM funded the  Refugee Resettlement Academy. The Director of Recruitment for the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of D.C. is Afghani Barakzai who used to work as a senior administrator at USAID and worked at a USAID funded program for Afghanistan.

At this rate, Catholic Charities could just as easily change its name to Islamic Charities.

Somali Fraudster: $3,000,000 in Fraud. 1 Year in Jail.

Apr 6, 2026 3:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield4 Comments

Good deal for him. Not so much for Americans.

Why do we have so much fraud by Somalis in Minnesota? Consider the severe penalties.

A Minnesota man was sentenced on Monday to more than a year in prison after pleading guilty to creating fake invoices to a nonprofit that falsely claimed it served 1.5 million meals to children in need within seven months.

According to his guilty plea, Abdul Abubakar Ali submitted fake invoices for technology services from his company, Bilterms Solutions, to Youth Inventors Lab.

The Justice Department claimed the Youth Inventors Lab received more than $3 million in reimbursements, of which Ali personally pocketed at least $129,000.

Good deal all around. Not so much for Americans, but who cares about them anyway?

Here are some further details on the case.

Ali and his co-conspirators used the nonprofit “Youth Inventors Lab” as a shell company to carry out his scheme, investigators said. Ali enrolled Youth Inventors Lab in the federal food program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future, according to authorities.

After enrolling, Ali “immediately” began submitting claims for reimbursement for purportedly serving meals to hundreds or thousands of children a day, investigators said.

Ali created and submitted fake invoices purporting to document the purchase of food from a vendor, S & S Catering, according to authorities.

In reality, S & S Catering did not provide Youth Inventors Lab with any meals and Youth Inventors Lab did not serve any meals to children, investigators said.

Youth Inventors Lab falsely claimed to have served more than 1.3 million meals between December 2020 through June 2021, and they fraudulently received $3,029,786 in reimbursements, according to authorities.

But at least the judge was combating implicit racial bias and Bigfoot.

A convicted Somali fraudster who stole millions in taxpayer dollars through the Feeding Our Future scheme was sentenced to only one year in federal prison by a Minnesota judge who has said she has a duty to combat “implicit racial bias” in the criminal justice system, including by acknowledging what she says is a disproportionate representation of black people in the state’s prison population.

And a disproportionate representation of Somali fraudsters.

Islam in the Middle East > Turkey pivoting away from west toward MB and Hamas; The underreporting of Iran's horrors; Syrians want to attack Jews

 

As mentioned before on this blog, Turkey is attempting to find a way to enter the Middle East war. Their goal is to lead Islam into another Ottoman Empire with Erdogan as Caliph.

Turkey’s NATO role under scrutiny as it moves away from the West and toward Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas

Apr 3, 2026 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams5 Comments

Turkey has an extensive history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas, and far beyond. Turkey has collaborated with the worst jihadists, including ISIS. It is a particularly dangerous country, so much that it can be reasonably concluded that NATO would be reckless to continue to include it as a member. It should have long ago been ejected as a NATO member.

Algemeiner gave an update on Turkey’s most recent activity in promoting Hamas:

This week, Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalın met in Ankara with Khalil Al-Khaya, a senior Hamas negotiator, and the terrorist group’s political bureau delegation to discuss prospects for advancing the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire — marking the second such meeting in under two weeks.

Last week, Kalın also met with senior Hamas leaders in Istanbul, underscoring Turkey’s ongoing diplomatic engagement with the Islamist group.

Notably absent from both meetings’ public summaries was any mention of Hamas’s disarmament — a key condition of the US-backed peace plan, which the terrorist group continues to reject, further complicating ceasefire efforts.

Turkey’s NATO role under scrutiny amid new report on Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood ties

by Efrat Lachter, Fox News, April 1, 2026:

A new report is raising concerns about Turkey’s role in the Middle East, arguing that under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the country has moved away from its traditional Western alignment and toward deeper engagement with Islamist movements, including the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies report, led by senior fellow Sinan Ciddi and titled “Islamist Domination of Turkey: A Forward Base for Muslim Brotherhood-Aligned Jihadism,” argues that Turkey has ties to Hamas — the U.S.-designated terrorist group responsible for the Oct. 7 massacre — as well as to the Muslim Brotherhood — an Islamist movement whose affiliates have recently been designated as terrorist organizations by the United States — placing Turkey’s policies under renewed scrutiny as it prepares to host a NATO summit.

Ciddi told Fox News Digital the shift reflects a broader transformation in how Turkey defines threats.

“What we have is Turkey has completely rewritten the rules of how you interpret what a jihadist terrorist entity may be,” Ciddi said. “Erdoğan has reinvented what is interpreted as a terrorist entity … groups such as Hamas or al-Nusra fall into line with his pan-Islamist view of the world.”..

…A central focus of the report is Turkey’s relationship with Hamas, which the United States designates as a terrorist organization, and yet Hamas expanded its presence in Turkey after 2011, establishing offices and networks inside the country…,

The Underreporting of the Iranian Regime’s Crimes

Apr 3, 2026 4:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald5 Comments

This past week offered more examples of the Iranian regime’s criminal behavior. But they have not received the attention they deserved. Meanwhile much of the world’s media chooses to focus on Israel’s nonexistent crimes. More on this phenomenon can be found here: 

Too Many in the West Still Look Away — Even as Iran Further Brutalizes Its Own People

by Micha Danzig, Algemeiner, March 31, 2026:

Start with three facts from this past week.

Not rumors. Not slogans. Not social media noise.

Facts — reported in mainstream outlets, documented by international human rights bodies, and, in part, reflected in the regime’s own conduct and admissions.

First, a 19-year-old wrestler — Navid Afkari — was executed by the Iranian regime after a trial widely condemned by international observers. Hung. Killed. His crime: protesting.

Second, officials tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) advancing frameworks where children as young as 12 can be integrated into war-support roles — patrols, logistics, internal enforcement. Not speculation. Not anonymous leaks. Positions reflected in both external reporting and Iranian media.

Third, multiple independent investigations — and mainstream media reports — documenting the systematic use of rape and sexual violence by the IRGC and Basij against detainees, particularly protesters, as a tool of repression.

Stop there.

You don’t need embellishment. You don’t need a fourth example. You don’t need a roundtable parsing “context.” What you need is to understand what kind of regime produces all three of these facts consistently, predictably, and without apology.

Because in the Islamic Republic of Iran, these are not aberrations. They are not excesses at the margins of an otherwise functioning system. They are the system.

Authoritarian systems do not need to announce what they are. They demonstrate it. Not in their slogans — which are often framed, for many Western audiences, in the language of justice and resistance — but in what they do to people, particularly their own citizens.

For 47+ years under this Iranian regime, the pattern is direct and repeatable. That is not hyperbole or metaphor. It is a description of how the Iranian regime operates.

And yet — and this is where the second scandal should begin — this regime still receives the benefit of the doubt, if not outright support, in significant parts of Western discourse.

Watch almost any show on MSNBC or CNN and you can hear it happen in real time.

The language shifts. It hedges. Or it flips into outright advocacy.

Iran becomes “complicated.”

The regime becomes “reactive.”

We are asked to believe that the Islamic Republic is not itself aggressive, but is merely “reacting” to those who would harm it — the United States, Israel, and the Gulf Arab states that host American bases. It does not oppress its own people, but only “reacts” to street protests inside, or military attacks from outside, that would bring the regime down.

The willingness of large numbers of people in the West to accept the Iranian narrative, to ignore the Islamic republic’s crimes against its own people and its warmongering throughout the Middle East, to continue to see Israel as the threat to peace and stability in the Middle East, will someday be written about as we now write about those who during the 1930s made excuses for the Nazi regime and believed it best to throw Czechoslovakia to the wolves at Munich in order to obtain “peace in our time,” or about those who accepted Soviet propaganda about the building of a brave new communist world that would bring prosperity and economic equality, even as millions died in manmade famines such as the Holodomor in the Ukraine, and more millions were executed or condemned to slow deaths in the labor camps in Siberia.

In Iran, 36,500 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded, by the authorities for the crime of participating in unarmed protests last January. Executions continue for anyone found to have taken part in protests or for having praised them online. Twelve-year-olds are now being encouraged to take on war-support roles, including logistics, patrols, and internal enforcement of the government’s rules. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij routinely use rape as a weapon of oppression, to terrify women and girls who take part in protests. But none of these atrocities have received the attention in the world’s media that they deserve. The media instead focuses on Israel’s strikes on what are routinely and wrongly described as “civilian buildings,” which turn out to be IRGC command-and-control centers, ballistic missile stores, missile factories, nuclear facilities, and Basij barracks.

Just one question about the misreporting and underreporting of events in Iran: why?

Syria: Massive crowds scream ‘All of Syria is Hamas. Let’s attack the Jews.’

Apr 4, 2026 11:00 am By Robert Spencer10 Comments

It is clearer by the day that Ahmed al-Sharaa is still an Islamic jihadi, and that his supporters know that and approve of it. So how long will Trump continue to support him?

 

‘Attack the Jews’: Syrians chant Jihad against Israel in mass protests

by Yulia Pobegailova, i24News, April 3, 2026:

Thousands of Syrians have taken to the streets across the country since Tuesday, with mass rallies featuring open calls for “jihad” against Israel.

The demonstrations erupted after Israel’s parliament passed a law on Monday mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis in terror attacks.

Videos circulating online show protests in at least 12 major Syrian cities. Demonstrators waved Syrian and Palestinian flags alongside Hamas and Islamist banners, voiced support for Palestinian security prisoners held in Israel, and openly backed Hamas.

Chants captured on video included:

“O Abu Obeida, we pledge allegiance to you openly,” referring to Hamas’ military spokesman, and

“They say Hamas is terrorist — all of Syria is Hamas,” and

“Let’s attack the Jews.”

In some cases, protesters were heard chanting:

“O Jolani, our beloved — bomb, strike Tel Aviv,” invoking Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa’s nom de guerre from his Al-Qaeda days.

Crowds were also seen burning Israeli flags and chanting:

“We brought down Assad — now it’s Israel’s turn.”

In one widely circulated clip, a member of Syria’s General Security Service forces declared: “Open the border for us and we will be in Gaza in less than 10 minutes.”

According to footage shared on social media, some government-linked figures also joined the demonstrations, including Syrian Interior Ministry spokesperson Nour al-Din al-Baba and security forces affiliated with the Defense Ministry, chanting Islamist slogans alongside protesters….
