„A recent Zoom event at San Francisco State University (SFSU) sparked investigations by the Departments of Education, Justice, and Treasury. Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) requested this action in a letter that threatened SFSU with severe federal consequences if it proceeded with an event hosting Leila Khaled, a current leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP), a US and EU-designated terrorist group.

Given these violent actions, Khaled has never been granted a US visa and has been denied visas by several other Western countries for her involvement with the PFLP and terrorist acts.

Kommentar GB:
Wir haben es nicht nur in der EU, sondern ebenso in Nordamerika mit der islamischen Hidjra zu tun, d. h. der Auswanderung von Muslimen in nicht-islamische Länder, um diese zu islamisieren, und zwar in strategischer Verbindung mit einer vielfältigen diplomatischen, politischen und finanziellen Einflußpolitik, insbesondere innerhalb nationaler und supranationaler Organisationen (z.B. UNO).
