Democrats nominate jihadi associate in 9/11 hero’s congressional district Adam Hamawy, the Democratic nominee for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, has a controversial past involving associations with convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, whom he served as a translator and witness for. Further revelations indicate he volunteered for an organization in Bosnia that was later identified as an al Qaeda front. Despite these revelations and endorsements from individuals with controversial views on 9/11, Hamawy remains the favorite to win the election in a district that includes the hometown of 9/11 victim Todd Beamer.

• Adam Hamawy, the Democratic nominee in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, has a past association with “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman, a convicted terrorist.
• Hamawy served as Abdel-Rahman’s personal translator and a defense witness during his terrorism trial, admitting he heard the Sheikh preach jihad against the U.S.
• Hamawy also volunteered for a “charitable” organization in Bosnia that journalists identified as an al Qaeda front, which was subsequently disbanded.
• The candidate is endorsed by streamer Hasan Piker, who has expressed controversial views regarding the 9/11 attacks.
• Hamawy’s past is being scrutinized in the context of his likely election in a district that includes Cranbury, NJ, the hometown of 9/11 victim Todd Beamer.
• Critics argue that despite any past good deeds, campaigning alongside an extremist who declared America deserved the 9/11 slaughter negates any benefit of the doubt for Hamawy.
