Religion Religion The Minorities Who Built Karachi Pakistan’s troubled relations with its religious minorities are only part of the story. Photo by Camille Delbos/Art In All of Us/Corbis via Getty Images Pakistan has been in the news recently, for reasons that would have seemed improbable a few years ago. It has become an intermediary between the United States and Iran, while also forging new strategic ties with Saudi Arabia and Turkey through the Mecca Defense Pact. Yet for all the attention garnered by its geopolitical moves, Pakistan—the real Pakistan—remains a country about which most Americans know little. To find that Pakistan, you have to go to Karachi. Karachi is Pakistan’s largest city, its commercial capital, and its…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Lynn Jenkins) - Jewish Democrats in Michigan signal defections that could doom El-Sayed's Senate bid

Lifelong Jewish Democrats in Michigan say they are prepared to cross party lines and vote for Republican Mike Rogers over progressive nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a shift that could prove decisive in a state where the last Senate race was decided by fewer than 20,000 votes.

Lifelong Jewish Democrats in Michigan say they are prepared to cross party lines and vote for Republican Mike Rogers over progressive nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a shift that could prove decisive in a state where the last Senate race was decided by fewer than 20,000 votes. The November general election for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat is shaping up as a direct collision between a progressive movement flush with momentum and a Jewish voting bloc that feels abandoned by its own party. El-Sayed, who narrowly defeated four-term Congresswoman Haley Stevens by fewer than 15,000 votes in the August primary, now faces Rogers, a former Army officer, FBI special agent, congressman, and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, in a race that could…Open

What are the key campaign platforms and controversies associated with Abdul El-Sayed's candidacy?
El-Sayed campaigned on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and cutting off U.S. aid to Israel. His candidacy has faced scrutiny regarding 2009 remarks about Sharia law, financial disclosures involving a Dubai rental property and debt to an Emirati developer, his acceptance of a $26,000 Trump tax cut, and his appearance at a party with content creator Hasan Piker.

What specific issues and historical events have contributed to the alienation of Jewish Democrats in Michigan?
Jewish residents cited attacks on synagogues and school buildings, a torrent of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activity on campuses, and a perceived atmosphere of hostility at the Michigan Democratic state convention in April 2026. Additionally, a March 2026 attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, where an armed attacker rammed a vehicle into the synagogue and opened fire, served as a flashpoint for community tension.

Why is the potential defection of Jewish Democrats considered significant in the context of Michigan Senate races?
The shift could be decisive because the last Senate race in the state was decided by fewer than 20,000 votes, and Mike Rogers lost his 2024 Senate bid to Democrat Elissa Slotkin by just 19,006 votes.

What is the current political situation regarding the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers?

DAILYCALLER (Derek VanBuskirk) - The Terror Network Slaughtering Nigerian Christians Has Escaped America’s Blacklist

‘atrocities are happening’

Experts and policy change-makers tell the Daily Caller that the Nigerian and U.S. governments are failing to confront the primary threat responsible for the killing of Christians in Nigeria. Between 2020 and 2025, more than 22,800 Christians were killed, and nearly 16,000 more were abducted in Nigeria, according to a new report by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa. The report found that the group responsible for most of those attacks is not the one drawing the primary focus of either the Nigerian government or the Trump administration.
