9/11 Firefighter’s Brother EXPOSES Disturbing Pattern of Radical Democrats Infiltrating Party

A decorated Air Force veteran and former New York firefighter whose brother died in the 9/11 attacks is sounding the alarm on a disturbing trend: Democrats with radical Islamic ties are winning party nominations at an alarming rate — and mainstream voters have no idea who they’re actually supporting.
“When it comes to terrorist sympathizers, I don’t really suffer fools kindly, and this guy is beyond the pale,” Don Arias said of Dr. Adam Hamawy, now the Democratic nominee for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.
Arias witnessed firsthand the destruction of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. His brother Adam worked on the 84th floor of the South Tower and perished in the subsequent September 11th terrorist attacks. The morning of 9/11, Arias spoke to his brother after the first plane had already struck — Adam described the chaos as desperate victims jumped from the burning skyscraper.
“So, that has stuck with me for many years,” he told Fox News Digital. Arias has since dedicated his life to advocating for the families of 9/11 victims.
Hamawy, a veteran combat plastic surgeon, won a crowded Democratic primary on June 2 to replace outgoing Rep. Bonnie Watson-Coleman despite carrying extraordinary baggage that would disqualify most candidates in any sane political environment.
The congressional hopeful maintained a close relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, better known as the “Blind Sheikh” — the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who died in federal prison in 2017.
The pair met in 1991 when Hamawy was a young adult. Soon after, Hamawy began accompanying Abdel-Rahman to mosques and even took a 13-hour car ride with the sheikh and others from New Jersey to Detroit for a conference called “Towards a Global Islamic Economy.”
Most shockingly, Hamawy testified on behalf of the defense during the terrorist’s trial.
“But when he’s pals with the Blind Sheikh, and he’s his translator for several years, when he testifies for him in court saying what a great guy is, when he spends that kind of time with this guy, and then says that he’s never heard him say anything about jihad, I have to question his veracity,” Arias said. “I mean, that just doesn’t ring true.”
“Show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are,” he continued.
“And if this guy Hamawy is going to try and forget all about that — he wants it to go down the memory hole and say, ‘oh, I was a veteran, you know, I did good stuff’ — I’m not going to forget, and I don’t think people should forget.”
In 1994, Hamawy also participated in what he describes as a humanitarian mission to Bosnia, working with the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF). In the post-9/11 terrorism crackdown, BIF was designated as a financier of terrorism by the U.S. government over its documented ties to al Qaeda.
“We’re not educating the voters, and the voters aren’t doing the proper research into their candidates, because I think if they knew that this guy, if it was top of mind awareness that this guy had these kinds of connections… they wouldn’t vote for him, and I think people need to bring that to the forefront,” Arias warned.
Hamawy isn’t the only disturbing case. A socialist candidate who once suggested that the United States deserved 9/11 is poised to win a seat in the New York State Senate.
Aber Kawas, the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens, is now the Democratic nominee for New York State Senate District 12. She was backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and won as part of a far-left sweep of several Democratic primaries in the city last week.
“The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy… and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we’re just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11,” she said in a 2017 podcast episode.
“The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery… is something I find reprehensible,” she added.
Arias condemned those comments with righteous fury.
“For her to minimize 9/11 … it’s just like, ‘oh, some people had some planes,’ you know, it’s beyond the pale,” he said. “So, when I look at somebody like Kawas, when I look at somebody like Mamdani, I don’t see an American. I mean, you scratch the surface, you see a commie, you see a radical, and — forgive me for saying it — I see a Nazi.”
He then exposed what he views as the real pipeline feeding these radical candidates: the American education system, which has devolved into a far-left indoctrination factory instead of actual learning.
“It’s very insidious and it’s very seductive to the young and dumb,” he said.
“It’s the young, it’s the dumb, it’s the indoctrinated who are voting for these people in numbers.”
“I don’t know what happens to a person where they actually grow to hate their own country, but I blame universities and the schools for this,” Arias continued.
“It’s an indictment on our education system because almost… they’re all very young, very ill informed and they’re Islamo-Nazis at this point.”
He added that for people like Kawas, Zionism, Judaism and Israel have been conflated with “white supremacy,” and in their warped worldview, this alleged “white supremacy” must be “put down.”
He also described socialism as a “luxury belief” embraced mostly by young, wealthy or upper-middle-class people who have never experienced actual hardship.
“These guys are cruising, so they can have these luxury beliefs, these ethereal conversations about mankind. They’re so out of touch.”
Hamawy’s campaign did not return requests for comment. Kawas also declined to answer questions.
The Constitution must be defended.
