Islam in the USA > Mohammed kidnaps woman from gay bar in Chicago; Five Iraqis violently rape a woman in Colorado

 

Afghan Muslim Refugee Named Mohammed Kidnaps Woman From Gay Bar


Diverse.

This story has everything the Left loves. Afghan Muslim refugees. One of them named Mohammed. And LGBTQ. It also has the consequence of everything the Left loves. A horrific crime.

On a night in late June 2023, the victim, a 22-year-old woman who had recently moved to Chicago, went out for drinks with coworkers and ended up at one of Chicago’s iconic gay bars in the 3300 block of North Halsted Street, according to prosecutors and court records.

Presumably she was in a gay bar because she didn’t want to be raped by Afghan men. Unfortunately nothing seems to keep them out. Except perhaps mass deportations. We might want to consider those.

Why were two Afghan Muslim men in a gay bar anyway? Their religious supposedly forbids both of those words. Perhaps they’re straying from the path of the devout (but atoning for it by assaulting an infidel and taking her as a sex slave, in the full tradition of the original Mohammed.) Or perhaps they’re not too picky about whom they assault. Women. Men. In Afghanistan, the two can be surprisingly interchangeable when it comes to sexual assault.

Khan told her she was going home with him and “forcefully guided her” toward the front door, where Mohammad met them, the filing said. Both men pushed her into the back seat of a car.

Chicago police later recovered city and private surveillance footage showing the two men forcing the woman into a Toyota Prius owned by Mohammad. As Mohammad drove to Khan’s home in the 5700 block of North Washtenaw Avenue, Khan sexually abused the woman in the back seat, according to prosecutors.

Shortly after 2 a.m., the woman managed to call 911, but Khan allegedly knocked the phone out of her hand and ordered her not to call anyone. Mohammad fled the apartment and hid the woman’s wallet in a nearby yard before police arrived. Khan went downstairs to meet the officers when they arrived. Not satisfied with his presence, they contacted the woman by phone, persuaded her it was safe to come outside, and summoned an ambulance. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of “extensive” injuries consistent with sexual assault, along with abrasions and marks on her body, prosecutors said.

Thanks, Joe Biden and everyone who favored bringing hundreds of thousands of Afghan ‘refugees’ to America.

At an initial court hearing, Khan’s defense attorney said he had moved to the United States from Afghanistan more than a decade before his arrest and had been living in Chicago for about a year after previously living in Milwaukee. The attorney said Khan supported a wife and 13 children in Afghanistan by working at a parcel company and sending money back home.

Mohammad’s first defense attorney said he came to the United States from Afghanistan in November 2021 and had been living in Chicago since February 2022. According to the attorney, Mohammad worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan and left the country fearing for his safety after the Taliban regained control, then supported himself in Chicago by driving for food delivery apps.

The vast majority of Afghans and Iraqis who supposedly worked with the U.S. military never did. That status has been handed out to practically everyone. The end result have been more rapes.

Like this house of horrors in Colorado.

Jasim Mohammed Hasin Ramadon and Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori, Mustafa Sataar Al Feraji, Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori, and Yasir Jabbar Jasim, 5 Iraqis who who came to America on SIV visas, took part in the rape of an American woman in Colorado Springs who was abused so badly that there was blood splattered on the wall.

Two Mohammeds. Now where are women supposed to hide from the Mohammeds when they even invade gay bars in search of women to prey upon?




Wolves Among the Sheep > Another international church leader fools the righteous

 

Francis Chan offers public apology for past endorsements of Mike Bickle, fallen ministry leaders

Francis Chan speaks at Together 2018 held in Fort Worth, Texas. | TOGETHER 2018

Pastor and New York Times–bestselling author Francis Chan has issued a public apology acknowledging that his past endorsements of Mike Bickle and other Christian leaders who were later disgraced by scandal contributed to confusion, hurt and broken trust within the Church.

In a statement published through his ministry, Crazy Love, Chan said he has been convicted in recent days by biblical passages warning that people will give an account for “every careless word,” prompting him to reflect on his own speech and leadership after more than four decades of teaching the Bible.

The California-based pastor said he has faced criticism for responding slowly or not responding publicly when controversies emerge, stating that his first reactions often include pride, self-preservation, hurt or anger. He said he has tried to restrain those responses and speak only in ways that offer grace to those who hear.

He said he has received repeated requests in recent years to publicly address leaders he once endorsed who were later exposed for wrongdoing.

Over his 40 years in ministry, he said he has seen “hundreds of leaders fall,” with scandals involving immorality, false prophecies and greed.

"Each time, it feels like a kick in the stomach," Chan wrote. "Years of immorality are uncovered, false prophesies are exposed, or greed is brought to light."

Chan said Scripture teaches that when a leader falls, the sin should be exposed publicly so others are not misled. At the same time, he said modern expectations for public denunciations differ from earlier eras of ministry, when it was assumed that prior endorsements no longer applied once wrongdoing became known.

“For the sake of clarity, please know that of course I do not continue to endorse people like Mike Bickle (founder of the International House of Prayer Kansas City) who have been caught in unrepentant immorality,” Chan said. He added that if he issued a public statement each time he realized he had trusted someone wrongly, the list would be “very, very long," adding that he doesn't believe it is a "biblical mandate" for everyone to "weigh in" any time a ministry scandal is exposed.

"I understand that some people see it as apathetic or irresponsible to refrain from commenting on these situations," Chan stated. "But I would ask you to consider that after issues have been disclosed about someone, there may be some of us who remain silent, not because we don't care, but because we believe there is already too much focus and discussion about these people. I've seen leaders get pressured by others to say things that God may not be leading them to say. I have fallen into this trap as well."

Chan acknowledged that his previous support of leaders who later proved untrustworthy contributed to the pain experienced by fellow Christians.

“I know that my endorsements of leaders who have later fallen have added to the hurt and heartbreak experienced by the Body, and for this, I sincerely apologize,” he said.

He addressed a specific remark he made in 2021 defending Bickle, saying he regretted previously calling people “so foolish” for abandoning the leader because they had “heard something from a friend.” Chan said that the comment referred to theological disagreements circulating at the time, but now recognizes it could have discouraged people with legitimate concerns.

A second statement accompanying Chan’s apology came from the network elders of We Are Church, an entity founded by Chan. In that statement, Kevin Kim, Rob Zabala, Sean Brakey and Joe Moore said Chan had no knowledge of hidden moral failure when he associated with or endorsed the leaders involved.

The elders said Chan’s public words carried influence and that some of those statements unintentionally gave credibility to leaders who later proved deeply untrustworthy. They apologized for the confusion, hurt and loss of trust that resulted.

They also acknowledged the victims of abuse connected to those leaders, writing that protecting vulnerable people and confronting abuse must take priority over protecting reputations or institutions.

The statements address questions surrounding Chan’s relationship with Bickle of IHOPKC, which attracted a global following for teachings on prayer and prophetic ministry.

Chan and the elders said that before working with Bickle, Chan had conversations with Bickle’s wife, IHOPKC leaders and other pastors who had known him for decades, and the consistent testimony he received described Bickle as a man of strong character and devotion.

They said Chan also consulted ministry leaders outside the charismatic tradition before agreeing to speak at an IHOPKC event and heard no concerns about Bickle’s character at that time. The elders said they reviewed public criticisms of IHOPKC but found no verifiable evidence of moral misconduct before 2023.

Allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse of power involving Bickle surfaced in the fall of 2023, leading to investigations and public scrutiny of the ministry.

Bickle acknowledged “inappropriate behavior” in December 2023 while denying more serious sexual allegations. A 68-page report later released by the independent sexual abuse investigation firm Firefly concluded that Bickle used predatory tactics and spiritual manipulation to sexually abuse at least 17 females, including minors.

The report also described sexual misconduct allegations involving other individuals connected to IHOPKC and identified 16 accused staff members implicated in such claims.

Sam Storms, pastor emeritus of Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City and a longtime friend of Bickle, publicly apologized in February 2025 for defending the ministry leader over many years.

Storms said he had once considered Bickle one of his closest friends, but changed his view after speaking with Deborah Perkins, one of Bickle’s alleged victims, in August 2023.

Chan said he first heard the allegations about Bickle in 2023 and traveled with Storms to confront him in person, but Bickle refused the meeting.

‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie’: Cheers after five Iranian players granted asylum after escape

Updated first published 


Five Iranian soccer players, including team captain Zahra Ghanbari, have been granted humanitarian visas to stay in Australia after a daring escape from their minders at a Gold Coast hotel on Monday night.

“Once everything had been signed off last night, there were lots of photos, lots of celebrating, and then a spontaneous outbreak of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi oi,” a smiling Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced at a press conference at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday morning.


“These women are great athletes, great people, and they’re going to feel very much at home in Australia.”

Revealing that the government had been in secret talks with the players for days, Burke acknowledged that fleeing was a “difficult decision” and assured the remaining 15 or so members of the team that they would be welcome if they wished to stay.

“Even though the offer continues to be there for other members of the team, it is quite possible and indeed likely that not every woman in the team will make a decision to take up the opportunity that Australia would offer to them,” Burke said.

“What matters here is that they have the best agency they can over those decisions, and so we’re making sure that the opportunity to seek assistance is there. But I don’t want to begin to imagine how difficult that decision is for each of the individual women, but certainly last night, it was joy, it was relief, and people were very excited about embarking on a life in Australia.”

The five players - captain Zahra Ghanbari and teammates Fatemeh Pasandideh, Zahra Sarbali, Atefeh Ramezanizadeh, and Mona Hamoudi - are now under the protection of the Australian Federal Police and have given permission for the publication of their names and faces.

They were condemned in Iran as traitors after they failed to sing the Iranian national anthem at their first match, escalating moves to provide assistance because of the risk they would face serious punishment and possible executions once they returned.

Exiled Crown Prince Reza Palavi named the women as he paid tribute to them last night.

News of the matter prompted US President Donald Trump to intervene overnight, first by demanding on social media that Australia give the women asylum, and then by speaking with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

“He’s on it!” Trump posted after their conversation. “Five have already been taken care of, and the rest are on their way. Some, however, feel they must go back because they are worried about the safety of their families, including threats to those family members if they don’t return.


“In any event, the prime minister is doing a very good job having to do with this rather delicate situation.”

Less than two hours earlier, Trump had warned Albanese he would be making a “terrible humanitarian mistake” if he allowed the team to be forced back to Iran, and offered to give the women asylum in the US if Australia would not.

“Everyone is so happy for the girls. They would not have been safe if they went home,” said Shahzad Shirkhanzadeh, an active member of the Iranian-Australian community.

She praised the government for moving swiftly to ensure the players had the option to seek asylum in Australia before being forced to return to Iran.

As news broke of the escape, members of Australia’s Iranian diaspora danced and sang on the street at the Gold Coast location where they’d held a vigil for the team.

Protesters reported that Iranian officials were searching the lobby and grounds of the Royal Pines Resort on Monday night.

The players’ dramatic escape could have major political implications as the hardline regime in Tehran fights against the US and Israel to hold on to power in a war that has spread throughout the Middle East.

Iranian state television presenter Mohammad Reza Shahbazi last week accused the team of dishonour for not singing the national anthem before their first match against South Korea last Monday, branding them “wartime traitors” who must be “dealt with more severely”.

There appear to be at least 20 women in the team, including substitutes, and it is unknown when the rest of the team is due to leave Australia.

Members of the team gave what appeared to be an SOS hand signal from their team bus on Sunday night as advocates pleaded for the Australian government to do everything possible to allow them to stay in Australia.

The Iranian team, known as the Lionesses, played their final match of the Women’s Asian Cup on the Gold Coast on Sunday night, losing 2-0 to the Philippines.

Footage taken after the match shows at least one woman on the bus appearing to make the international help sign to a crowd of protesters outside.

The gesture is performed by holding one hand up, tucking the thumb into the palm, and folding the fingers down over it.

A parliamentary inquiry on February 26 heard that the team’s entourage included suspected members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a listed terrorist organisation.

On Friday, after Australia beat Iran 4-0, the Matildas swapped jerseys with the Lionesses, and Australia’s captain Sam Kerr paid tribute to their struggles and bravery.

More than 71,000 people have signed a petition since Friday, calling for the government to ensure that no member of the team departs Australia while credible fears for their safety remain.
