AG Barr: "I'm extremely distressed by the upsurge in violence, hate crimes, committed against the Jewish community." pic.twitter.com/YjQTIrhBqz

This statement by the Attorney General only highlights and confirms what is apparent to everyone in the country. Hate crimes against Jews have reached an unprecedented level.
Behind these crimes are vile words that incite acts of violence.
One of the major promoters of anti-Semitic hate is Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. And in turn, one of his main mouthpieces is Tony Muhammad, Western Regional Minister of the NOI. Minister Muhammad is also the poster child for the ugly marriage of convenience consummated between the Nation of Islam and scientology.
Tony Muhammad (or Abdul Malik Sayyid as he now prefers to be called) is a high ranking scientologist who was awarded scientology’s highest honor by scientology’s grand pooh-bah David Miscavige: The IAS Freedom Medal. He is enabled and supported by scientology and is used as a major fundraiser and speaker at scientology events.
ISNOI News thoroughly documents the history of the disturbing joining of scientology and Nation of Islam, and the unapologetic anti-Semitism of these speakers who purposefully incite hate towards the Jewish Community. The Justice Department should take note — if you want to stop hate crimes, stop those that INCITE them.
Scientology is proud of Tony Muhammad:
Here is just one example of his vile anti-Semitism — “Jewish devils” are “slave-makers of the poor” and “bloodsuckers of the poor”:

Here is another prominent anti-Semite, Scientology Youth For Human Rights Award Winner Rizza Islam, claiming that Ashkenazi Jews are referred to as the “Synagogue of Satan” and “own the movie and film industry.”

Scientology loves to proclaim itself as champions of religious freedom and human rights. It is a cornerstone of their propaganda campaign. Every chance they get they announce it to as many people as they can get to listen.
Yet, if you go to the scientology “STAND League” site, ground 0 for their supposed efforts on this front, you will see a lot of whining about how scientologists are victims, but not a single mention of the vile anti-semitism of these scientology-lauded and supported “human rights advocates” right in their own backyard. Nothing.
Scientology shouts from the rooftops that THEY are “victims” of hate crimes “incited” by The Aftermath TV show which has exposed their abusive practices to the world. But says nothing about their own “champions” inciting hate against the Jewish Community that has resulted not just in violence but numerous deaths.
This is a classic “Methinks thou doth protest too much.” Seeking to deflect attention from their abusive practices, scientology squawks about being the victims of unspecified “hate crimes” they claim are “documented” though none is ever provided. Yet they are provably enabling this vile anti-Semitism.
The only “religious freedom” scientology cares about is scientology’s. The only “human rights” they care about is their right to continue to abuse humans under the protection of religious freedom.
PS: A reader just sent me these shots of David Miscavige presenting the Freedom Medal to Tony Muhammad. Included here for posterity’s sake…
I can hardly wait until there is a “misstep/confrontation/difference of opinion between NOI & COS…the shit will hit the fan & they will be at each other’s throats……
We can all sit back with popcorn & watch the fireworks…..
No kidding! With all the pressure on CO$, I think that could come sooner than later, esp considering the recent seeming distancing between the two at recent events (NYE).
Hello my dear friend! Hope you are doing well! How is my baby niece Haven? I miss you!
Think I’ll purchase some extra butter this week end for the popcorn…you never know when that stuff is going to hit the fan. I can ONLY imagine what will happen when the flood gates of NOI vs COS begins….I can hardly wait.
Can you just imagine the MISTRUST that goes on behind the scenes between these two “religions”…it’s cant be good!
ron akhbar ?
And yet scientologists are the first to shout out the word “bigot” to anyone who opposes them. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Hopefully not to be pedantic and just to be clear, Tony Muhammad now prefers to be known as Abdul Malik Sayyid Muhammad. Mike, I wasn’t sure if you accidentally omitted the last name of “Muhammad” after “Abdul Malik Sayyid” above, or if you meant to give just the new part of his name.
He announced the name change during a lecture delivered on April 14, 2019. During the lecture, he talked about how the Ministers and their wives, including his wife, had their names changed by Louis Farrakhan to purely Muslim names. The name change was very significant and important to everyone involved. As I recall, the new part of his name, “Abdul Malik Sayyid,” is quite esteemed. See

How did thus union come about? Anyone know the backstory? And was Davey unaware of who he was taking a picture with? I mean did he order OSA to investigate this radical and it came back all clear green light? I’m confused how they could be so stupidly and blatantly obviously hypocritical thus slaying any shred of credulity they may one day hope to restore in the public arena.
It was discussed in some detail on an episode of Aftermath as well as here and Tony’s blog. Also the links to ISONews thread on NOI discusses it and demonstrates the progression.
Initially Alfreddie Jackson and a couple others got things started some years ago. The Inglewood .Org and community center are a big part and the address of one or both is also used by NOI for their events and as a mosque location. They’ve been doing joint events and NOI events on the Freewinds and from that spawned the Black Scientologists movement and Facebook page. Leah Remini even donates substantial amounts to pay for books and auditing for (the “artist” formerly known as) Tony Muhammad. Originally it was supposed to just be study tech, Basics and Grades as a means to better “understand” the words of Fard and Farrakhan. But ISONews exposed that a few years back some key opinion leaders of NOI were doing substantial FSMing and even moving onto the OT levels.
What’s a shock is that nothing has blown up sooner! As far as vetting, they have more numbers than scientology and plenty of money to spend and, as we all know, that’s the only vetting about which DM cares.
*Correction – Leah R donateD a lot for TM’s auditing an books. That is also discussed in the Aftermath episode. (Funny aside, he know who she was, took a pic with her and then later when she started criticizing scientology he made a statement against her and purposely butchered her name, as if to say, “I don’t really even know who this is…”)
He probably had OSA do a credit check on various members, and compare the total with their various beliefs, whether outrageous or mundane. We see the result… the IAS medal!
Thank you, Mike, for telling it like it is. Please don’t ever stop.
Mike, thank you so much for compiling and printing this information. It is indeed horrifying. Thanks to your efforts the truth about the link up between the vile NOI and the villainous CO$ will be better understood by the general public. Thank you, Mike.
Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can’t say this often enough.
If you want to get it right every time, judge every person by their own merits, not by which race they belong to. What would happen if the NOI representatives were on an airplane flight, and the pilot was Jewish. Would they take him out right then and there in mid-air?
The rise in anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic violence coincides with Donald Trump’s candidacy and election to POTUS, not NOI and Scientology. NOI has been spewing their garbage for decades, why would it suddenly be having an effect now? The answer is, it isn’t. The rise of Trump and his blatant racism is. It’s been on the uptick since 2016 which is, not coincidentally, when Trump was running for office.
The data on the race/ideology of the perpetrators is scarce BUT what data there is, points to right wing extremism and neo nazis. The Justice Dept doesn’t know the race/ideology of all perpetrators of this violence but the ones they do know, are almost all exclusively white extremists. These people are also big supporters of Trump btw.
The below links are to reputable, mainstream conservative Jewish organizations who track antisemitic violence.

I think you are seeing things through a Scientology filtered lens and excluding info that doesn’t fit into that structure.
I didn’t try to claim that the ONLY cause is NOI/scientology.
This was not intended to be an academic analysis of the entire field of Nazi/KKK hate groups.
This is a blog focused on scientology. That’s why I published this article, because they are promoting and supporting this yet claiming to be fighting against “religious hate speech.”
I hear you about this being a Scientology focused blog but IMHO when you’re talking about a fire, it is appropriate to at least mention the spark that lit it instead of only talking about a bit of the kindling.
For clarity, his son in law is a practicing religious Jew. His daughter is a practicing religious Jew. His grandchildren are Jewish.
He has included his son in law and daughter in his administration. When you hate someone you don’t hire them.
Anti gay? He assigned a gay man to be ambassador to Germany. When he was sworn in his HUSBAND! was with him and Mike Pence swore them in. Google it.
The ambassador to Israel is a Jew
Trumps senior advisor is a Jew
Secretary of Treasury is a Jew
Senior Advisor of policy is a Jew
Deputy of National Security Agency is a Jew
Assistant to the president on Intragovernmental and Technology is a Jew
Deputy Attorney General is a Jew
He declared Jerusalem capital of Israel (what the Jews wanted for years)
He moved the US Consulate to Jerusalem (the Jews love him for it)
I think someone should inform Trump that he’s really not being good at hating Jews.
This is how hate can cause the mind to play tricks.
This is how people become the things they criticize
I could not let this lie go by with no mention MIke. I’ve only conveyed things that are true.
I think we can sum this all up by agreeing that Trump is for anyone who is for him. Specifically, anyone who will help him get whatever it is he happens to want at any given time is someone he’s going to like – a lot! Race, creed, color, nationality, religion, phooey on all that! just be someone in his category of those who help him get what he wants, when he wants it. Oh, and make sure you stay in this category always, like, for the rest of your life! Do that, and no worries, you’ll always be terrific and a total winner 🙂
I dont think the author said Donald Trump is an anti-Semite. I think he was trying to say Donald Trump has encouraged right wing extremists. I don’t think anyone has ever tried to claim Trump doesnt like Jews.
I was addressing Flyonthewall. I should have clarified.
Equating the rise in Anti Semitism with the Trump election is simply not true.
This below quote is from a recent Wall Street Journal. Truth is important.
“Anti-Semitism in the U.S. has paralleled a similar rise in Europe, where Jews have been targeted in a series of attacks in recent years, including one where a Holocaust survivor was thrown out of a window. A report by France’s National Human Rights Advisory Committee found that anti-Semitic incidents in the country rose 70% in 2018 from a year earlier.”
Thank you Brian for your comment. That is all I will say.
Flyonthewal – I made similar responses to your comment on Tony Ortega’s blog. I want to succinctly respond here for the benefit of the people here.
When two causes – i.e., the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories set forth in the Nation of Islam book “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews,” and the anti-Semitic atmosphere allegedly caused by the Trump administration – were both arguably necessary to cause an anti-Semitic attack, and neither alone was sufficient, it is obviously incorrect to blame or assign causation to only one such factor, in this case the Trump administration.
More specifically, as the Vox article explains:
https://www.vox.com/2020/1/3/21039446/anti-semitism-anti-orthodox-farrakhan-conspiracy-theories-bipartisan
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
For example, in Jersey City, the attackers were part of an extremist wing of the Black Hebrew Israelites that believes Jewish people are imposters (as one acolyte put it in 2007, “Negroes are the real Jews”) and worthy of death. One attacker posted about how Jewish people controlled the government and referred to Jewish people as being part of the “synagogue of Satan,” a phrase derived from the Book of Revelation that has become an anti-Semitic calling card.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
Rizza Islam has expressed that “Jewish people are imposters” and Black people “are the real Jews” on more than one occasion. Tony Muhammad has repeatedly said Jewish people control the government and are part of the “synagogue of Satan.” One cannot blame Trump for imparting these ideas to the Black Hebrew Israelites who were guilty of that attack.
To be honest, it comes across as a bit desperate to try to blame Trump for the anti-Semitism of Black Hebrew Israelites, NOI members and other anti-Semitic Black nationalists. They got their anti-Semitic conspiracy theories elsewhere, including the NOI, Louis Farrakhan, Tony Muhammad and Rizza Islam. Trump is the last person Black Hebrew Israelites, NOI members and other anti-Semitic Black nationalists are taking their cue from.
Indeed, when the perpetrators of an attack cite the specific anti-Semitic conspiracy theories promoted by the NOI as the reasons for their attack, one might have to concede such theories really were probably the primary or predominant reason for the attack, and not Trump.
Fly, I agree with you. Hate groups have had their insanity simmering for decades. Even the internet didn’t embolden them that much. But this wretched administration has given them a “voice” and tacit permission to turn up the heat to a full boil. He “speaks” to such people…God help us all. The NOI can spew their venom against Jews and lie about them with impunity – or so they think – and CO$ shrugs and calls it “case”. Besides, the KKK groups and American Nazi groups say whatever they want against the Jews, so why can’t the NOI? God help us all.
It’s actually been on the uptick since 2014, according to ADL data – though starting to rise more sharply in 2016, see for instance the graph at:
https://jewishjournal.com/news/nation/297837/adl-2018-was-third-highest-year-for-anti-semitic-incidents/
That leaves difficult chicken-and-egg type questions related to cause and effect, and causation and correlation. But I don’t disagree that Trump is at least responsible for exacerbating the problem by his willingness to express blatant bias towards other groups like Mexicans, as well as other attitudes and actions, which has emboldened extremism that has then targeted Jews as well.
My Uncle is African American and cried the day Obama was elected, not necessarily because he agreed with all of his politics, but because as a 70-something year old man a black president was something he said he thought he’d never see. He’d been involved in the Black Power movement and stepped away (he’s a Christian) when “It was being twisted into an inaccurate version of Islam and used for the forwarding of certain individuals personal vendettas.”
When Obama was elected he said to me, “Sugar you watch, there are a lot of people who’ve been simmering for a long time. This scares the hell out of them. We’re going to see a LOT of ugly starting to wake up in the coming years because they’re going to see this as a sign to make their ‘last stand’ before their country or creed – their ignorant prejudice – becomes completely unacceptable.” He’s generally quite conservative, but not Trump fan by any stretch. He was the opposite w/Obama. He (and a majority of my POC relatives) agreed that a black president and simmering racism meant it that some people were just waiting to grasp onto people who were unhappy with left politics to try to equate one with the other. A personality that bombastic just “helped” that along a bit more quickly/dramatically IMHO, but was inevitable regardless.
If you read recent articles in Christianity Today and other major publications featuring key opinion leaders for Christians, there is an outcry that in fact Trump does NOT appropriately represent the values of many (hopefully most… unfortunately the extremely loud fundamentalists seem to be heard & repeated far more) Christians, but that doesn’t support the rhetoric so many are afraid to speak up or unsure because they also don’t support the policies of the current left candidates, either. It’s an interesting/scary time for us all.
I don’t believe any ONE person is responsible because if people didn’t genuinely feel that way and carry hate in their hearts, then no one person could just change them to suddenly hold prejudice. That said, I think it is a combination of many things, things that have been ignored, a shift in politics where everything has become SO divisive and given rise to the people in the extreme ends of both sides suddenly being the loudest voices and therefore assumed to be the voices for all.
We’ve definitely had a LOT of things triggering much of it and then as the more extreme points of view started coming out, it invited even more to feel emboldened. And a president who is divisive (as are his opponents) only helps escalate. The question is, who’s courageous enough to stop first on either or both sides? Otherwise things will just continue to ping-pong back and forth into perpetuity.
I’ve said it before and I will say it one more time. The current Church of Scientology IS the cuerent NAZI Party.
I have often thought the same thing. The SS had connections to the Occult and Satanic rituals. Hubbard fits into the same pattern.
My Grandmother and father’s side of the family is Jewish. My Grandma lost relatives in Auschwitz and lived through WWII as a child. Before she passed she said “groups like that” (my dad was mentioning scientology after a volcano commercial came on when I was a kid) are “all the same thing in different wrappings, if you have nothing to hide, you hide nothing. If they won’t tell you what it’s about unless you do certain things or give them money then you know they’re doing wrong.”
The Nazi’s were really popular and elitist for some time. Many people agreed openly and others supported via their silence.
You are correct, Jennyfurr.
I am from a Polish Catholic background and my Grandmother and my mother were living in The US during WWII. However, we did have ties to a small town in Poland. We lost touch with many of our distant name sake cousins. After WW II my brother travelled to Poland and found their names at the murder site that the name began wit “A” which I refuse to correctly spell. My nephew later went to Poland and found out that it was a small town outside of Krakow. They got into trouble with the Nazi’s
Billy Barr is so concerned about antisemitism that he and his cohorts are giving the West Bank to Israel. I do hereby accuse, again, Israel of seeking and getting Lebensraum with American connivance.
That does not excuse any violence against any Jew for any reason.
The $cieno/NOI connection needs to be shouted from every roof top. Let’s see if Krustie Ally and her ‘Jew accountant’ notice the connection.
I’m with you, Zee Moo.
I saw an old friend that is currently on staff, and has been so for around thirty years. He originally considered himself Jewish, and still has Jewish family, so I asked him what he thought of what was being said about Jews by the NOI authorities, such as Farrakhan and Tony Muhammed. He explained it off as “case that will be addressed somewhere on the bridge, everyone has something to handle.” The same mechanisms that excuse fellow scamatologists for the strange and often brutal treatment of other scamatologists, by means of ethics, disconnection, etc. applies to NOI, since they have “seen the light” and reached for Flubtard materials and philosophy.
A very important post.
Thank you Mike.
Who gives awards and honorifics to such vicious Jew haters?
Which group has very publicly sought to cultivate an alliance with one of America’s foremost racist organizations?
Which organization has never once spoken out against even one, of the thousands of vile anti-Jewish utterances of Farrakhan or his Scientologist minions?
The Church of Scientology under David Miscavige, that’s who.
Yes, its astonishing. NOI children are being TAUGHT to hate, blame and vilify Jews.
TAUGHT this. And the “Church” of Scientology, at best, shrugs it off as “case”.
Yo Cult –
Hatred of Jews is not ANYONE’S “case”.
Its TRAINING.
They are being TRAINED to believe this.
They are being TOLD whom they should hate.
Let me try this again:
TRAINING IS NOT CASE!
TRAINING IS TRAINING, IMBECILES!

Pointing the finger at another, while committing the crime oneself, is called hypocrisy and this, my friend, is the hallmark of scientology, its leader and his minions.
Unfortunately Silvia there is too much of that going on in a lot of places in this big old world. 🙁
Nicely said, Sylvia.
The murderous attack in Jersey City involved people radicalized by anti-Semitic propaganda originating with the NOI – note the phrase used by them, “synagogue of Satan,” referenced in the post:
The conspiracy theories behind the anti-Semitic violence in New York
“For example, in Jersey City, the attackers were part of an extremist wing of the Black Hebrew Israelites that believes Jewish people are imposters (as one acolyte put it in 2007, “Negroes are the real Jews”) and worthy of death. One attacker posted about how Jewish people controlled the government and referred to Jewish people as being part of the “synagogue of Satan,” a phrase derived from the Book of Revelation that has become an anti-Semitic calling card.
….
Many of these conspiracy theories heard today can be traced to a 1991 book published by the Nation of Islam, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews.”

It is interesting to see the link in the Book of Revelation to the Jewish attacks. In my opinion, this book is almost 100% Occult and should have never been included in the Bible. Anyone with any awareness whatsoever, rejects it as anti-Christian. Its passages are responsible for many deaths including “Heaven’s Gate” I am not surprised that NOI uses the book to justify hate crimes. The Book of Revelation illustrates a significant problem in Western Religion. We have the Occult married with ideas a salvation and justice. My good friend Larry is a Southern Baptist and refuses to reject the Book of Revelation. He believes it word for word. There is a dangerous Western religious acceptance of Biblical literalism. It destroys any future hope for these religions to survive. People who are religious literalists are a dangerous force in society. Personally, I weaken my support for First Amendment rights when hearing hate crime stories. David Miscavige is far too ignnorant to do anything but support NOI.
One person’s ‘Biblical literalism’ is another’s bullshit. I agree that Revelations should not have been in the Bible. It was tacked on so Christians could have hell and be kept in line with threats of hell.
Revelations was supposedly written by John the Elder while he lived on the Isle of Patmos. I think John ate one too many bad shellfish. Bad Clams will do that.
Actually, revelations doesn’t support the doctrine of hellfire. People have twisted verses in revelation to fit their own agenda, as they have many other parts of the Bible. It also doesn’t promote hatred of Jews. When Jesus was on earth, he was Jewish, and obeyed Jewish laws at that time.
I heard a rumor that John of Patmos wrote Revelations after a long series of bad dreams and nightmares. He obviously studied most of the ancient Occult literature. Quite obviously he dealt in fear of hell. Too bad. My friend Larry justifies it all by claiming that it is all true but that he cannot tell me how it will happen.
“People who are religious literalists are a dangerous force in our society.”
Amen to that. Not only do they vote as a block, eager for the Rapture, the Second Coming. Whoopee, we’re all going to die! They’re happy about this. Fortunately most of these nutjobs are quite old and will die before too long. Hopefully they’ll pop off before getting us into WW3.

Clams having a war with psychs can come together and love each others.
I’ve come back to the blog to read and post again.
This is…horrible…appalling…astonishing…honestly, I don’t have the words. What I’m reading from the NOI leaders right up there with Nazi World War II rhetoric. The kind of anti-Semitism spewed by Hitler himself.
I’m having a hard time believing the word that I’m reading. That this is happening, that this kind of speech is being given a pass, in this day and age, in the United States of America – wow.
