NEW JERSEY District, home of many 9/11 victims, could elect a Muslim to Congress closely linked to the notorious terror sheikh of the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11

New Jersey, almost more than any other state, is dotted with memorials to the victims of the two Islamic terror attacks on the World Trade Center, the first in 1993 and the successful one in 2001.  Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim running for Congress in New Jersey and backed by $2 million in Muslim tech money, served as a translator and testified for the defense in the terror trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, better known as the ‘Blind Sheikh,’ linked to the WTC terror attacks and the later plots to bomb the Statue of Liberty and other New York City targets.

Daniel Greenfield Now, Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim physician who is running for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th congressional district, stretching from Plainfield, less than an hour away from Ground Zero, to the state capital in Trenton, is promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.

In April, Freedom Center Investigates broke the story that Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy had testified for the defense at the Blind Sheikh’s terror trial. Our reporting demonstrated that Hamawy had been part of an entourage driven to a terror-ridden convention for one of the top Islamic terrorist figures who inspired Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Even while running for Congress, Hamawy has still failed to directly condemn his terror sheikh who was such a crucial figure in the Islamic terrorism world that ISIS had urged kidnapping Americans to hold them hostage in exchange for his release.

The scandal has been slowly percolating in New Jersey since the Free Beacon first flagged a 1995 New York Times article labeling Hamawy a “supporter” of the radical cleric.

Other media outlets, the Free Beacon and FOX News, discovered that Hamawy had enjoyed an even closer relationship with the terror leader. Rahman’s other translator, Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali, had confessed at the trial that Rahman had directed him to bomb the George Washington Bridge and other landmarks. At the trial, Hamawy however had been brought in to deny a government informant’s claim that the Blind Sheikh had called for terror attacks, but was forced to admit that he had called for Jihad and “conquering the land of the infidels”.

Hamawy has been in the news more recently for his Gaza advocacy, demanding that Israel stop its military campaign against Hamas, and in his recent interview with Hasan Piker, a Turkish social media influencer who praised the USSR and defended Hamas, the candidate accused our military of “war crimes”.

Not surprisingly, Hamawy wants a total arms embargo on the state of Israel.

“Two months after six people died in the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the infamous ‘Blind Sheikh,’ held a news conference at his Jersey City, N.J., home to deny his guilt. Standing with him that day was a young medical student from New Jersey who had followed the sheikh’s teachings, traveled with him, and had graciously agreed to translate the sheikh’s press release from Arabic to English. The young man was Adam Hamawy, now considered a front-runner in the crowded Democratic primary race,” Tom Moran reported at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Hamawy claimed that the Blind Sheikh “was a leader of the community” and taught “how to practice as a normal Muslim.” A few years after Hamawy had testified for the terror sheikh, Osama bin Laden had held a press conference featuring two of Rahman’s sons who handed out cards with their father’s picture and his Islamic call to attack America. “A fatwa of the captive Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman … To all Muslims everywhere: Destroy their countries. Tear them to pieces. Destroy their economies, burn their corporations, destroy their businesses, sink their ships, and bring down their airplanes. Kill them in the sea, on land, and in the air.” Several years later, the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Al Qaeda.

In Windsor, where Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy has his plastic surgery office (which has been the subject of multiple accusations by American patients, complaining that the Egyptian surgeon hadleft them with disfiguring scars and burns), there is a homemade bridge, two reflecting pools and seven names of those who were lost when the terrorists struck the World Trade Center six years after the candidate testified on behalf of the terror leader at the center of the original attack.

The ‘Blind Sheikh’ had been the key theological figure for Egyptian Islamic Jihad which made up a core of Al Qaeda. ISIS had called for kidnapping Americans to secure his release. His followers joined Al Qaeda and went on killing Americans in his name. Including on 9/11.

Hamawy once volunteered in Bosnia with a Chicago-based nonprofit whose offices were raided by the government in 2002 after it was determined to be a front for al-Qaeda.
