Did a South Carolina Imam Know the October 7 Attack Was Coming? Ibrahim Dremali stated in 2021 interview that Hamas was planning a “strong surprise.”

Following the October 7 Hamas assault on southern Israel, reports came out claiming that Hamas had been planning the brutal attack for three years. This puts the spotlight on a South Carolina Muslim leader, Ibrahim Dremali, who, during a live interview, stated that Hamas was planning a “strong surprise” involving new rockets he said Hamas had obtained. If Dremali did know about this far-reaching act of terrorism – an act that included American abductions – perpetrated by a group found on the US terror list and whom he has a relationship with, prior to the attack taking place, this would make him an accessory to the crime in need of facing justice.

About this imam Ibrahim Dremali

From: IPT

__

Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR)
Boca Raton, FL

Ibrahim Dremali co-founded the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) in 1998 and served as imam for the next 7 years at the center.[1] The ICBR co-sponsored an October 2000 rally during which Hezbollah flags were present and participants chanted, "with jihad we'll claim our land, Zionist blood will wet the sand."[2] According to an Islam Online account, during the rally Dremali "urged the crowd not to be sad for those who were martyred and not to be afraid to die for what they believe in." [3] Following this, the crowd joined in a mock funeral procession chanting, "Haya 'ala al-jihad (live for the jihad)." [4]

Dremali has also testified on behalf of Adham Amin Hassoun, who once visited the ICBR,[5] at an August 1, 2002 bail hearing during which Dremali spoke about Hassoun's "peaceful and generous," character.[6] Adham Amin Hassoun was indicted in 2004 for "being an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa, [who] did knowingly possess a firearm in and affecting interstate commerce," in violation of U.S. law.[7] A superseding indictment in March of 2004 included additional counts, that Hassoun "did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fraudulent, and fictitious statement and representation to a Special Agent of DHS and to a Special Agent of the FBI." In particular, Hassoun said that he did not encourage a co-defendant Mohamed Youssef to travel to a foreign country when Hassoun knew he did "encourage Youssef to travel to Somalia and Ethiopia and provided funds for Youssef to travel to Kosovo for the purpose of fighting in a jihad."[8] Additional counts detailed ways in which Hassoun lied under oath, in particular about his knowledge of Mohamed Youssef and about conversations about "the experience of fighting in a jihad conflict" and conversations about "killing a woman in Lebanon." [9] A second superseding indictment in September of 2004 alleged that Hassoun conspired to help "a conspiracy to murder, kidnap, and maim persons in a foreign country," in order to "advance violent jihad," including "murder, kidnapping, and maiming," to establish "Islamic states under Sharia."[10]

In a civil action a judge found that Hassoun was part of a plot that included assassination and material support to terrorists and that he was a member of al-Gama'at al-Islamiyya (IG), a designated terrorist organization. Hassoun also recruited Mohammed Youssef to be a "jihad fighter."[11]

In August of 2007 Hassoun was found guilty, along with defendants Jose Padilla and Kifah Jayyousi, of conspiring to murder, main and kidnap persons overseas, conspiring to provide material support to such a conspiracy, and providing material support to the conspiracy.[12] In January 2008 he was sentenced to life in prison.[13]

Who’d have ever, in their wildest nightmare, thought the word “Imam” would even be in the same paragraph with South Carolina?!

There is no doubt in my mind that most every intelligence agency knew of this attack.

We’ve even had Egypt publicly stating they informed Israel of the attack and it was ignored.

We’ve had an Israeli military personnel say they were informed of the attack and passed the word on to their superiors who ignored the intelligence.

Now, why would Israel want to let this attack happen? Why would the USA want to let this attack happen?

Perhaps to let Netanyahu suffer the damage and lose his regained power? Perhaps to escalate WWIII (we know Ukraine was insufficient to accomplish this goal alone but the globalists are not giving up yet)?

We have to remember, the USA under Obama/Biden is funding Russia (indirectly and directly) and Ukraine and the USA is funding Hamas/Palestinian Authority (indirectly and directly) and Israel. Funding both sides of both of these wars.

And we’ll be funding both sides of the Taiwan/China conflict too.

I’m confident that the FBI and Justice Department will get right on the investigation of these suspicions.

...in due time after exploring all of their options.

Whoa - my husband and I were driving from NC to Ga and stopped at a rest stop in SC. There was a woman in a full burqua standing in line with her head bowed. The entire store got quiet - from shock at realizing they are here.

My sister saw a muslim physically abuse his wife in public and shouted out before she thought twice. The man made a cutting motion across his throat and followed her to her car, picking up speed and chasing after her and screaming obscenities as she drove off.

They are savages.

They are everywhere. 2019 I was in a large shopping mall in Raleigh, NC and was stunned at how many burka/hijab wearing muslims there were, husbands and children in tow. Same in Seattle well over a decade ago. Every state, every major city in America.

Ibrahim Dremali is in Myrtle Beach, SC. This is him from late October "Imam Ibrahim says most Palestinians only want peace."
https://wlos.com/news/local/i-lost-them-myrtle-beach-imam-loses-young-niece-and-nephew-in-israeli-airstrikes

He has ties to Hamas and others:
https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/ibrahim-dremali/

He was run out of Florida for his radical ways, moved to Iowa, and in time left there for Texas where he was arrested by INS for a fraudulent marriage to enter the country. He's also on the federal no-fly list. From Texas he landed in South Carolina. Do a search on his name, he's one of the many radicals in America. More here:

South Carolina ping please.

Let’s hear it for “Burquas on the Beach.” I’d shag to that. /sarc
