America in the Crosshairs: Imam Facchine’s Plot to Silence Dissent and Build an Islamic Army to Impose Sharia (Video)

U.S. Imam Tom Facchine, a figure deeply embedded in the global jihadist movement, is playing a central role in the radicalization of young Muslims across America and Europe. His influence stretches far beyond isolated sermons—from urging pro-Hamas students to target and destroy the careers of pro-Israel professors to spreading anti-Jewish conspiracies in London. Facchine’s speeches at Muslim Brotherhood-linked events and his leadership in Wahhabi-inspired organizations, like the Yaqeen Institute, expose a deliberate effort to dismantle Western institutions from within. Despite the gravity of his Islamic rhetoric, both the media and political left remain disturbingly silent, offering cover for his dangerous campaign to impose Sharia (Islamic law) across the West.

In the latest deeply troubling revelation, Facchine is actively calling on pro-Hamas students to target and destroy the careers of pro-Israel professors, with the goal of silencing any dissent against the Islamic agenda he espouses. His August 20, 2023, speech at a Muslim Brotherhood-connected event hosted by the Muslim Student Association (MSA) is just one of many examples of his escalating efforts to radicalize young Muslims in America. This event highlights a broader pattern in Facchine’s campaign to sow division and promote Islamic supremacy—all while the media stays disturbingly silent. The left, which claims to stand for tolerance and freedom, is not only ignoring this threat but appears complicit in helping jihadis like Facchine in their quest to dismantle the West from within.

Facchine’s Call to Action: Silence Pro-Israel Voices

Imam Tom Facchine did not mince words when he instructed pro-Hamas students on how to destroy the careers of pro-Israel professors like Shai Davidai. During the MSA “Islamic Political Activism” event, Facchine explicitly encouraged students to make an example out of Davidai to intimidate others into silence. His chilling suggestion that taking down one professor could silence “a hundred more” is not just rhetoric—it is a battle cry for Muslims and their left-wing allies on American campuses who are using the freedoms of the West to wage war against it.

Facchine’s speech was not an isolated incident. It is part of a broader campaign led by Islamic groups like the MSA—an organization that was founded with direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group whose goal is to establish Sharia (Islamic law) globally. Facchine’s role in radicalizing students through this organization is part of a larger movement that aims to silence anyone who dares to oppose their views, especially when it comes to support for Israel.

The Radical Agenda of the Muslim Student Association

The MSA event, where Facchine delivered his incendiary speech, is no ordinary student group. Founded in the 1960s by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the MSA serves as a breeding ground for Islamist activism in the United States. With over 600 chapters nationwide, it operates as a key lobbying arm for Wahhabi Islam, spreading classical or orthodox Islamic ideology on campuses across the country.

The MSA’s loyalty to the Muslim Brotherhood is not hidden—it is embedded in its activities and rhetoric. The pledge of allegiance recited by MSA members mirrors the Muslim Brotherhood’s own credo, proclaiming that “Jihad is our way, and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

In 2011, at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), a frequent speaker for the MSA, jihadi Amir Abdel Malik Ali, recited the MSA pledge of allegiance, which is shockingly similar to the Muslim Brotherhood’s motto.

This is the organization that Imam Facchine is empowering, using it as a platform to push for radical Islamic activism while demonizing pro-Israel voices and encouraging students to silence those who stand against their agenda.

Radical Roots: Imam Facchine’s Path to Orthodox Islam

Imam Tom Facchine is not just another Islamic preacher—his background exposes just how deeply rooted he is in the global jihadist movement. Understanding Facchine’s path to Orthodox Islam, often referred to as extremism, sheds light on his calculated approach to spreading Islamic supremacy today. Born and raised as a Christian in Southern New Jersey, Facchine initially studied Political Science and International Relations at Vassar College, where he embraced Islam shortly after spending a semester abroad in Turkey. This conversion in 2010 marked the beginning of his journey down a radical path. After completing his degree, Facchine pursued independent studies in Arabic before gaining admission to the Islamic University of Madinah, a hub for orthodox Islamic ideology in Saudi Arabia.

Facchine’s background, rooted in orthodox Islamic teachings from Saudi Arabia, is pivotal in understanding his platform today. His connection to radical institutions like the Lewisham Islamic Centre, notorious for hosting religious Muslims considered to be ‘extremists’, reinforces his radical agenda. Through his Wahhabi training and continued efforts to spread Islamic supremacy, Facchine’s influence has now extended beyond just his local mosque, fueling radical ideologies across the U.S. and Europe.

From 2015 to 2020, Facchine immersed himself in the dangerous Wahhabi ideology at the Islamic University of Madinah. There, he obtained not only an associate degree in Classical Arabic (2016) but also a bachelor’s degree in Comparative Islamic Law (2020). The university, particularly its Faculty of Sharia, is infamous for producing radical Islamic scholars who advocate for the global spread of Sharia law and the violent enforcement of Islamic supremacy. Facchine also completed the chaplaincy program conducted under the supervision of The Prophet’s Mosque in 2019—further cementing his connection to one of the most fundamentalist schools of thought in Islam. His study of tafseer under Shaykh Abdallah Shinqeeti at the Prophet’s Masjid is noted as one of his most impactful influences, further solidifying his commitment to a hardline interpretation of Islamic law.

On June 11, 2015, Tom Facchine openly discussed his conversion to Islam and his journey to the notorious Islamic University of Madinah:

Facchine’s time in Saudi Arabia did more than provide him with an education; it armed him with the tools to return to America with a mission to radicalize others and spread Sharia law. His decision to study at the heart of Wahhabism was a deliberate choice to immerse himself in an ideology that promotes the subjugation of non-Muslims, the oppression of women, and the violent enforcement of Islamic rule. His studies in Comparative Islamic Law and his training in Arabic and chaplaincy equipped him with the knowledge and authority to push these dangerous ideologies once he returned to the West.

Now, as the resident scholar at Utica Masjid (Muslim Community Association of Mohawk Valley) and the Research Director of Islam and Society at the notoriously radical Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, Facchine is in a prime position to influence and radicalize young Muslims across the United States. His role as an instructor at Legacy International Online High School, where he teaches Tafseer (Quranic exegesis) and Islamic History, places him directly in contact with impressionable young students.

But perhaps the most alarming question is: why did Hamilton College, a prestigious U.S. institution, allow this radical figure to influence their students? Did the parents of non-Muslim students know that someone trained in Saudi Arabia under Wahhabi doctrine was working at their child’s university before he chose to step down in 2023? Facchine’s role at Hamilton College raises serious concerns about the infiltration of jihadis into American academic institutions and their dangerous efforts to indoctrinate students under the guise of education.”

Facchine’s extracurricular activities further highlight his long-standing focus on radicalizing youth. He has founded multiple youth groups and conducted various afterschool programs that appear aimed at spreading his ideologies among young Muslims and other youths. His return to the U.S. has not tempered his mission—it has only given him greater platforms from which to spread Wahhabi Islam. Using his roles at the Yaqeen Institute and Utica Masjid, Facchine is now actively working to build an Islamic movement in America, indoctrinating Muslims to impose Sharia across the West.

Facchine’s Political Strategy at the Islamic Education Center of Pennsylvania

In a recent speech at the Islamic Education Center of Pennsylvania (IECPA), Facchine reinforced his radical agenda by addressing “Current Islamic Political Engagements.” He emphasized the need for Muslims in America to adopt a more aggressive and calculated approach to building political power, a theme consistent with his ongoing efforts. Facchine criticized the political naivety of some Muslims, particularly wealthy donors who both Republicans and Democrats were manipulating. More disturbingly, he shared stories of young Muslims who became entangled in terrorist activities and condemned Muslim prosecutors who pursued cases against fellow Muslims, portraying them as traitors to the Ummah. His call for a sophisticated, strategic approach to Muslim political engagement underscores his broader aim: to create an Islamic power structure in the U.S. that could shape both domestic and foreign policy, particularly in relation to Palestine. His rhetoric, laced with veiled justifications for jihad, reveals his determination to dismantle Western systems from within.

Facchine’s Radical Sermon at Lewisham Mosque: A Call for Islamic Supremacy

Facchine’s influence isn’t confined to the U.S.; in April 2024, his radical rhetoric reached a new level during a sermon at Lewisham Islamic Centre in London, where he once again demonstrated the global scope of his mission. During this appearance, at a mosque notorious for being run by orthodox imam Shakeel Begg, Tom Facchine once again revealed the depth of his radicalism.

Facchine was invited by Begg, a figure labeled by a High Court judge in 2016 as an “extremist preacher” who encourages “religious violence.” The mosque, under Begg’s leadership, has consistently been a platform for orthodox islamic rhetoric, and Facchine’s appearance was no exception. In a speech steeped in anti-Jewish conspiracies and calls for Islamic supremacy, he told the congregation that “Zionists run the schools and hospitals” in the UK, encouraging Muslims to step up and create systems controlled by Muslims, for Muslims. Facchine lamented, “We are happy with being doctors, yet we work for the Zionists who run the hospital system. Who’s going to step up and make the school system for the Muslims?”

Facchine’s sermon did not stop there. He went on to question the responsibility of Hamas for the violence committed on October 7, 2023, against Israeli civilians, subtly suggesting that both sides bore blame for the atrocities. This downplaying of Hamas’s brutal terrorism, which resulted in over 1,200 Israeli deaths and more than 250 kidnappings, including children and the elderly, reflects his ongoing efforts to justify the actions of Islamic jihadis and activists. His statements only further radicalize his audience, framing them as oppressed victims of a Jewish conspiracy.

Facchine’s appearance at the Lewisham Islamic Centre, under the aegis of a known Orthodox Islamic activist like Begg, drew sharp criticism from Jewish groups. His open endorsement of “Palestinian resistance” in the wake of such horrific violence underscores his commitment to radicalizing his followers under the guise of religious leadership. Facchine’s anti-Western message was clear—he urged Muslims not to be satisfied with working within systems controlled by “Zionists” but instead to create their own Islamic power structures.

By invoking historical Islamic conquests, he advocated for a return to Islamic governance and the dominance of Sharia law, using these examples to inspire his followers to build leverage and power. This sermon was yet another example of how radical imams like Facchine use their platforms to push for Islamic supremacy and spread anti-Jewish conspiracies, all while attempting to galvanize Muslims into positions of authority within Western institutions.

Endorsing Hamas Terrorism: Facchine’s Call for “Resistance”

Facchine’s dangerous rhetoric goes beyond attacking individual professors. In a video posted to the YouTube channel of Utica Masjid, Facchine expressed his full support for Palestinian “resistance”—a clear endorsement of Hamas’s violent terrorism against innocent civilians in Israel. His words, “We are with the Palestinian resistance 100%, no ifs, no ands, no buts,” reveal his unwavering support for an organization that has been designated as a terrorist group by numerous Western countries, including the United States.

This endorsement came three days after Hamas Muslim terrorists had brutally murdered over 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped more than 250 civilians, including children and the elderly. Yet Facchine offered “no apologies, no condemnations,” standing firmly behind this violence while dismissing any criticism as an irrelevant concern over “table manners.” By defending acts of terror, Facchine is openly aligning himself with those who seek to destroy the Jewish state and anyone who supports it, further radicalizing his followers in the process.

Sharia: The Agenda to Subvert Western Values

Imam Facchine’s dangerous rhetoric is not limited to his support for violent “resistance.” He is also a vocal advocate for the implementation of Sharia in the West, claiming that it is a far superior system to Western legal frameworks. In a video posted in January 2023, Facchine argued that Sharia law is “much more merciful, much more humane” than the Western system of justice. He dismissed the brutality of corporal punishments such as 70 lashes, claiming they were more humane than the consequences of being a convicted felon in the United States.

This narrative is a deliberate attempt to sanitize the reality of Sharia law, which includes harsh punishments such as amputation, stoning, and execution for offenses like blasphemy, adultery, and apostasy. Facchine’s claim that Sharia is a system focused on “redemption” is a blatant distortion of the truth. The reality is that Sharia is a legal framework that oppresses women, non-Muslims, and anyone who dares to oppose Islam. It is a system that is fundamentally incompatible with the values of personal liberties, democracy, and human rights that define Western civilization.

The Left’s Complicity in the Spread of Radical Islam

As Imam Facchine and other so-called “religious” imams and Islamic experts continue to spread their dangerous ideologies, the media and the political left remain complicit through their silence. Muslims in America, particularly those tied to terror-linked Islamic organizations like the MSA, are being allowed to act with impunity. They are shielded by a left-wing establishment that refuses to acknowledge the threat they pose. This refusal to confront radical Islam is part of a broader trend in which leftist politicians and activists actively support pro-Hamas, anti-Israel movements while demonizing those who stand for Western values.

The result of this silence and active support is a dangerous alliance between radical Islam and the left—a partnership that seeks to dismantle the very foundations of Western society. Meanwhile, many Republican politicians, out of fear of being labeled Islamophobic or being targeted by jihadis, either refuse to speak out or, in their silence, become useful idiots aiding this agenda. The left’s obsession with political correctness and “tolerance” has given radicals like Imam Facchine the freedom to operate unchecked, using our democratic institutions to undermine them from within. The consequences of this partnership are clear: radical imams are now emboldened to call for the destruction of academic careers, the implementation of Sharia, and the support of terrorist organizations—all without fear of reprisal.

A Call to Action

Imam Tom Facchine’s dangerous rhetoric and tacit support for Palestinian resistance, while downplaying Hamas’s violence, reflects a broader campaign to radicalize young Muslims in America and push for the widespread implementation of Sharia across the West. His deliberate targeting of non-Muslims, particularly pro-Israel figures, through tactics like encouraging pro-Hamas students to destroy the careers of professors highlights his intent to silence opposition and sow fear among those who challenge his radical agenda. The media’s silence, combined with the left’s complicity, is allowing religious Muslims like Facchine—often mistakenly labeled as ‘extremists’—to act without consequence, putting the very foundation of Western society at risk.

The time has come for non-Muslims to fully grasp the imminent danger posed by imams like Facchine, whose calculated efforts to dismantle Western institutions are happening right before our eyes. We must hold our institutions accountable and resolutely stand against the spread of Islam in our communities. The future of the West depends on confronting this escalating threat with unwavering courage and determination. Failure to act now means surrendering our freedoms to a violent, oppressive ideology bent on destruction.
