Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.
As we head toward the midterms in this last month of October, it’s time to reflect on who are the leadership of what we would call the democratic socialist-Islamist new basis or alliance with or absorption of the Democratic Party.
On October 10, 2026, the Hilton Toronto Markham will host a training session. The trainers are Muslim elected officials from the United States. The trainees are Muslims in Canada. The subject is how to capture political power for Islamic interests.
The session is called “From the Masjid to City Hall”. The convention is the 24th Annual UMAA Convention, organized by the Universal Muslim Association of America, a Shia Muslim NGO with consultative status at the United Nations. The theme: “The Next Chapter: From Identity to Impact.”
On Monday, the Detroit Free Press endorsed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s open Senate seat with the justification that it is his opponent, Mike Rogers, who is the real extremist.
“Everything you’ve heard about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is true: An extremist is asking voters to send him to Washington, masking an agenda far out of step with Michigan’s mainstream under the pretense of normalcy. If elected, this man would urge America down a dark path, changing the shape of our nation, perhaps irrevocably,” said the Detroit Free Press. “But that man is not Abdul El-Sayed.”
The Virgin Mary “wore a hijab”, staff at a council have been told.
In a talk about Islamophobia, North Yorkshire council staff who handle anti-terror work were taught that Islam’s attitude to women did not conflict with Western values.
An example used was that “Mother Mary wore a hijab”.
Abdul El-Sayed is not a doctor. He’s got the degree, but he’s never been licensed to practice medicine, and he’s never treated a patient. So he’s lying about being a physician, because under Michigan law he’s not — and he shouldn’t even call himself one. Under Michigan law, that’s illegal. Despite this reality, El-Sayed said measles cases in Pennsylvania prove we need him in the Senate.
For 25 years, American counterterrorism policy has been organized around the image of September 11: a terror cell, an aircraft, an explosion. Billions went into intelligence, airport screening and wars abroad. Across those same years, a slower project advanced through channels that no security agency was built to monitor: one moving through universities, lobbying organizations, municipal, state and national politics, and the vocabulary of civil rights. It required nothing more explosive than money, patience and a working knowledge of how an open society such as the United States functions.
A dangerous trend is unfolding in America: please do not let what happened in my home country happen here. Many people refuse to see the gradual creep of Islamist ideology into nearly every sector of American society: media, politics, community organizing, education, and public discourse. These are what the stages of an Islamic revolution look like. It advances quietly and methodically — an ideology that prioritizes its religious doctrine over national identity, Sharia constitutions over non-Islamic ones that are made by made by man, not by Allah.
Of Course the CBC just gave Mamdani a Blow Job.
Mamdani’s populist style is all over the Toronto election race
Twenty years ago, as America fought in the Middle East, a junior Democratic senator from the Midwest, a forty-something man with a Muslim name, decided he was going to run for president. Against the odds, Barack Hussein Obama of Illinois, who’d dabbled in Marxist academia and whose father was born in Kenya, went on to become the first non-white commander-in-chief.
Two decades on, as America fights another war in the Middle East, an even more unconventional Midwestern Democrat is rapidly advancing. Dr Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, whose father was born in Egypt, is currently the favourite to win his senate race in Michigan in November – even as Republican campaigners spend millions of dollars branding him a terrorist sympathiser.
Federal departments have designated 934 prayer or “quiet” rooms in government buildings, according to documents tabled in the House of Commons.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures were disclosed in an Inquiry Of Ministry requested by Bloc Québécois MP Martin Champoux, who asked how many prayer and quiet rooms were located on federal premises.
Inch by incremental inch and we let them. Shame on us.@fancypants_s https://t.co/9tDbfb7rOP

Muslim police who defend Hamas are damaging forces’ impartiality.
The warning came in an analysis of police officer associations, which highlighted how some are entering ‘contested ideological, religious or political territory’.
There are more than 200 staff networks, which cover a range of characteristics, including veganism and paganism. However, there is little oversight of their activities.
Well, DUH! 🙄@fancypants_s https://t.co/IEymsaWR5q

The current director of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), Isha Khan, told its board that it is not her “boss.” The Globe and Mail reported this in August, in its article on the controversy over the museum’s “Nakba” exhibit, drawing on interviews with five board members.
The law is clear. And it is contrary to what Ms. Khan told the board about who is in charge.
Before Americans take Abdul El-Sayed’s advice about moving to Canada, they might ask Canadians how the experiment worked out.
In remarks recently reported by the New York Post, the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate declared, “If you want to achieve the American dream, well, you should move to Canada.” He was speaking on his podcast in May 2023, nearly eight years into Justin Trudeau’s rather disastrous prime ministership.
Canada was then in the midst of a lost decade. Its economy was falling further behind America’s, while reckless immigration policies brought in newcomers faster than the country could accommodate. Trudeau’s postnational experiment was straining the shared sense of belonging that held the country together.
Hasan Piker told Axios.com this week that he judges America as worse than al Qaeda in terms of terrorism. He explained, “We have caused tremendous terror all around the world.”
Speaking of terrorism, Piker says “America deserved 9/11,” calls Hamas “a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state” of Israel, and confesses “no issue” with Hezbollah, which he maintains flies “a dope flag” that features “an AK on it and a f—ing hand holding it up!
A nonpartisan entity charged with reviewing misconduct allegations has cleared Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) of wrongdoing in connection with documents she submitted to Congress that dramatically overstated her wealth.
The Office of Congressional Conduct, which reviews allegations concerning House members and staff, made the determination after opening an investigation into Omar earlier this year. The findings, marked confidential, were viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.”
