While the next phase of the 1619 Project will no doubt produce its alternative history which will reveal that Alexander Hamilton bowed to Mecca and Dolly Madison wore a burka, there’s little doubt among sane historians that the French were here first.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere are 12 million Americans of French descent and while the last time a congressional resolution on French-American Heritage Month was passed was back in 2002, that’s because Franco-Americans are much less vocal about occupying cultural territory than Omar and Tlaib. The resolution noted that the French had established parts of the United States, that Lafayette had fought for American independence, Tocqueville had explained America, and L'Enfant had laid out Washington D.C. (3 out of 4 ain't bad). The French were here first.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThough perhaps Rep. Carson can explain more of the “major role” that Muslims played “in shaping our nation for centuries” and how it exceeds that of the role played by the French.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf it weren’t bad enough that Omar, Tlaib, and Carson were spitting in the faces of 12 million French-Americans, they’re also hijacking Disability Pride Month. The Hamas Caucus could try to move Muslim Heritage Month to June, but that’s already Gay Pride Month. And when Islam and gay people meet, the latter tend to get thrown off tall buildings and then stoned to death. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAugust however is pretty clear aside from being National Immunization Awareness Month.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut, much like the Ground Zero Mosque had to be near the site of the greatest impact Islam has had on shaping American history, Muslim Heritage Month has to take over July. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENo other month will do.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERep. Rashida Tlaib had already introduced a resolution for April as Arab Heritage Month where it displaced Scottish American Heritage Month. (But what contribution have the Scots ever made to America compared to the centuries of Omar and Tlaib’s shaping of the country?) \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDoes Tlaib really need two months or a sixth of the calendar year? Heritage months are generally ethnic, not religious. But the Hamas Caucus wants two months to start with. Having seized one month from the Scots, they’d like to hijack another one from the French.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOne of them has to be about violating the separation of church and state by promoting a religion.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd hating America.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJuly means fireworks, barbeques, and patriotic songs. But Rep. Rashida Tlaib would like it to be about honoring \"the achievements, contributions and sacrifices of Muslim Americans in the face of rising anti-Muslim hate.\" Or, according to Tlaib, it will “provide an opportunity to foster religious tolerance nationwide and combat misinformation directed at the Muslim community.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike every theme month lately, this seems destined to be another ‘America Sucks’ month. But it will come packaged with an extra share of Dawah or Islamic missionary activity while informing us that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and anyone who disagrees should be beheaded.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELos Angeles, which rushes wokely where angels fear to tread, is already celebrating Muslim Heritage Month through its libraries with Linda Sarsour’s biography and Rep. Omar’s biography. Don’t just think of Muslim Heritage Month as displacing July 4th when it’s also a great gimmick for selling otherwise unsellable books. And even as the Taliban retake Afghanistan and prepare to put those women who took off their burkas and hijabs in their place, Muslim Heritage Month is being used to promote The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family to small children.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndeed, the resolution itself promotes the hijab by insisting that \"women who wear the hijab, or headscarf\" are discriminated against in America. The resolution then goes on to celebrate accused domestic abuser Keith Ellison and then, after appropriating July, tries to also appropriate the ice cream cone. It’s one thing to hijack the Fourth, but ice cream cones too? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Whereas Syrian immigrant Ernest Hamwi’s invention of the ice cream cone is a practical confection with a near ubiquitous presence in American life,” the resolution falsely claims.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile the ice cream cone is indeed a most ubiquitous and practical confection, the ice cream cone was \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/americacomesalive.com\/ice-cream-cones-the-true-story\/\"\u003Einvented and patented\u003C\/a\u003E by Italo Marchiony: an Italian-American immigrant. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFirst, Omar and Tlaib displaced the French and the Scots, and then the Italians. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EErnest Hamwi, a Syrian immigrant, did play a role in the ice cream business, and he patented his own cone decades later in the twenties, but he was Christian, not Muslim.

The pleasant New Jersey community has become the place where successful Chinese immigrants move after they’ve outgrown places like Fort Lee. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike the earlier generation of Jewish residents, they came for the schools and suburban living. The neighbors of the Xie family on the tree-lined street are mostly Jewish and Asian upper middle class professionals employed by Fortune 500 companies and living the American dream.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Xie home with its soaring gables, its two car garage, and the Porsche out front, signaled that they had made it. And with access to good schools, their children would outdo them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJonathan Xie probably never will. His guilty plea to one count of concealing attempts to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization puts an end to the case against him, and likely to the future his parents might have planned for him: a degree from an Ivy League college, a prestigious profession, and another big house like theirs in a leafy suburb.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETwo years after Jonathan graduated from high school, federal investigators were going through the familiar and humiliating process of carting boxes past the loaner Porsche and the two car garage. Something had gone very wrong. Like a surprisingly diverse number of American teens, Jonathan had decided to convert to Islam, become an Islamic terrorist and kill lots of people.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEspecially Jews. And possibly anyone in Trump Tower. Including President Trump.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Islamic terrorism in America is still mostly the hobby of first and second generation immigrants from Muslim countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Egypt, Xie was far from the first non-Muslim teen to pick up the basics of Islam and try to join a terrorist group.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut there were two unique things about the Xie case. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJonathan came from an immigrant group with a strong sense of familial identity. When he declared that he had become a “revert” to Islam, he turned his back on his family, his culture, and his family’s Christian faith.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd then there was his choice of terrorist organization.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETeens who convert to Islam in some quiet suburb used to choose Al Qaeda, and these days pick ISIS. But Jonathan wasn’t drawn to any of the flashy globalist jihadist newcomers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe chose Hamas. And the Muslim Brotherhood.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"As-salamu alykum. My name is Jonathan and I reverted to Islam a few weeks ago,\" his first letter to Hamas, a year after graduating high school, went. \"I was wondering if non-Palestinians\/non-Arabs would be allowed to join the Al-Qassam Brigades.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn another email, he mentioned, “As a Muslim living in the US, I would like to support the Palestinian resistance as much as possible.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt was the sort of polite letter that Jonathan must have been taught to write when applying for internships or colleges, but he was instead applying to join the military wing of a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group known for firing rocket launchers at school buses and blowing up entire families in pizzerias. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Xie was using the correct Islamic language, his roster of political terminology, referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state, ranting about “neo-liberalism”, and building a YouTube playlist of videos supporting Saddam Hussein and Bashar Assad, both Arab Socialist Baath Party regimes, North Korea’s Communist Party, and Iran’s Shiite Houthi and Hezbollah terrorists, was strongly suggestive of a particularly radical strain of leftist politics easily available online.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EXie’s hatred for Israel and Jews vied only with his hatred for President Trump.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Donald Trump, he should be hung from the gallows!\" he ranted in one post. \"I went to NYC today and passed by Trump Tower, then I started thinking about bombing it and I was imagining that the explosion would kill Trump.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Xie's Instagram rantings could be mistaken for posturing, he tried to follow through on his plans.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"I'm joining the army,\" he claimed. \"Not to fight for Jewish internets (sic)... but to learn how to kill.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd he actually did apply to join the military. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe boasted of donating money to Hamas, and he actually did donate to the terrorist group.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMeanwhile he was fantasizing about becoming a terrorist.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"I want to shoot the pro-israel demonstrators,\" he pondered in one, referencing a 4chan meme about vehicular attacks. \"Maybe I should rent the truck of peace.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn a video, Xie brandished a gun and showed off a Hamas flag \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-nj\/press-release\/file\/1164941\/download\"\u003Ewhile\u003C\/a\u003E denouncing \"Zionism\" and threatening, “I’m gonna go to the f____ pro-Israel march and I’m going to shoot everybody.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"I should do lone wolf,\" he speculated elsewhere. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Watch their blood and dead bodies litter the streets,” he fantasized in yet another message.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter all that, much of it public on social media, combined with showing an undercover FBI employee how to donate to Hamas, his guilty plea concedes the obvious. Xie did little to conceal his plans or attitudes. And while his defenders have attempted to blame mental illness, that excuse has been employed so often for Islamic terrorists that it has lost all its credibility.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut what drove a Chinese-American teen to convert to Islam and try to join Hamas?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe same year that Xie graduated from high school in Basking Ridge, likely chosen by his family because it has the 2nd and 3rd highest ranked high schools in New Jersey, the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge, with the assistance of the DOJ, won a victory allowing it to build a mosque, despite zoning issues, and collecting over $3 million in fees and damages.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe DOJ’s lawsuit was one of the closing acts of the Obama administration. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBasking Ridge, home to the country’s oldest white oak tree that George Washington once picnicked under, has been slowly trending leftward.
