Adam Hamawy is running to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. Hamawy’s terror connections are beyond disturbing.
His relationship with the “Blind Sheikh” received significant coverage in recent weeks. A 1995 court transcript shows how the then-medical student Hamawy described meeting the Islamist leader in 1991, visiting him at his home and accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to a conference in Detroit. In the courtroom, he and the sheikh greeted each other warmly, and Hamawy refuted a government informant’s claim that Abdel-Rahman had urged the assassination of the then-president of Egypt.
New York police who taken into custody El Sayyid Nosair, the assassin of militant Jewish leader Meir Kahane and co-conspirator in the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing, uncovered Saffet Catovic’s business card from the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation amongst Nosair’s personal effects.

His terror connections have already come up in this campaign. He assisted the World Trade center bombing’s “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel-Rahman, both before and after the bombing, for which Abdel-Rahman was tried and convicted for terrorism and seditious conspiracy. Even Politico noted three weeks ago that Hamawy “had a real years long association” with Abdel-Rahman, as established at trial. Hamawy shrugged it off as “guilt-by-association attacks on Muslim and Arab candidates.” It turns out that Hamawy has some other associations that are just as problematic.
The jihad candidate has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race.
We’ve spent a lot of time covering the story of Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim running for Congress in New Jersey, backed by $2M in Muslim tech money, who had accompanied Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheikh’ linked to the WTC terror attacks and the later plots to bomb the Statue of Liberty and other New York City targets, and who had developed ties to Al Qaeda and its leadership, as a translator and testified on his behalf at his terror trial.
Somehow though the Hamawy story keeps getting worse, as Jewish Insider reports, he also volunteered for an Al Qaeda linked group.
Based on evidence federal prosecutors proffered in court, and the affidavits of federal agents, the 2002 raids on the Bosnian offices recovered weapons; correspondence between the group’s chief executive, Enaam Arnaout, and bin Laden from the 1980s and 1990s; letters from other Al-Qaida leaders on battles and financial transactions; a photo of Arnaout and bin Laden together; an organizational chart of Al-Qaida; a handwritten list of top donors to the terror organization; copies of never-before-seen documents concerning Al-Qaida’s 1988 founding and its admission policies; and details regarding training camps and Al-Qaida operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan.
When we exposed Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy’s terror ties before, he replied by accusing us of being “anti-Islam” and the whole thing of being “guilt-by-association attacks on Muslim and Arab candidates”, but if you spend this much time being associated with Islamic terrorists, maybe there’s some ‘guilt’ there.
Hamawy was clearly plugged into a terrorist network and the Blind Sheikh allegedly had ties to another player in the Egyptian congressional candidate’s orbit.
One of the other lecturers at the Jihad Camp (who has teamed up with Catovic at many other speaking events) was Imam Siraj Wahaj, a radical African-American Muslim cleric, listed by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in 1995 as an “unindicted person who may be alleged as [a] conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
What emerges is a picture of a congressional candidate who was plugged into a Jhadist network that went all the way up to Al Qaeda.
As I noted in yesterday’s article, the Blind Sheikh paved the way for 9/11.
Hamawy asserted that the Blind Sheikh “was a leader of the community” and taught “how to practice as a normal Muslim.” A few years after Hamawy had testified for the terror sheikh, Osama bin Laden had held a press conference featuring two of Rahman’s sons who handed out cards with their father’s picture and his Islamic call to attack America. Tear them to pieces. “A fatwa of the captive Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman … To all Muslims everywhere: Destroy their countries. Destroy their economies, burn their corporations, destroy their businesses, sink their ships, and bring down their airplanes. Kill them in the sea, on land, and in the air.” Several years later, the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Al Qaeda.
I don’t know if Hamawy would officially qualify as an Al Qaeda candidate, but at the rate that Islamic Jihadism is being mainstreamed, we’re bound to have one before long. The only question is whether it will be in New Jersey or Michigan.
