Imam at CCNY Interfaith Event Calls Out Jewish Speaker as Zionist, Leads Muslim WalkoutFull SummaryThe event last Thursday drew Muslim, Jewish, and Christian students to discuss religious commonalities, but Mady—after praising sharia law's punishments and societal reforms—abruptly condemned Bratman, director of CUNY Hillel, prompting nearly 100 Muslim participants to walk out, leaving about 20 attendees. Moderator Joshua Medina expressed shock and apologized, while Bratman called the incident '100 percent antisemitic.' New York Governor Kathy Hochul condemned it as antisemitism and demanded accountability from CUNY, which launched an investigation amid online backlash and concerns over campus safety and Israel-Gaza tensions. Key TakeawayAt a City College of New York interfaith workshop meant to bridge religious divides, self-proclaimed imam Abdullah Mady suddenly spotted Jewish representative Ilya Bratman and branded him a Zionist responsible for Gaza deaths, urging Muslim students to leave in protest.

Arsenal YouTuber Lee Gunner Schools Troll on Islamic PillarsNovember 27, 2025 4:42 PM Full SummaryLee Gunner, the Arsenal YouTuber with 134,000 subscribers known for critiquing Mikel Arteta, clashed with troll @supremeAbu over personal failings tied to Islam's teachings. He correctly distinguished the Five Pillars of Islam—acts like prayer and charity—from the Six Pillars of Iman, beliefs in God, angels, books, prophets, Judgment Day, and decree, plus paradise's eight gates linked to virtues. Though not Muslim himself, Lee drew from his chat's insights, earning playful titles like Sheikh Lee while prompting calls for self-reflection among fans. The back-and-forth captured football Twitter's mix of tactics and deeper topics last Thursday. Key TakeawayLee Gunner fired back at an Arsenal troll questioning his faith knowledge with sharp precision on Islam's pillars and gates. The exchange turned heads for its unexpected dive into theology amid football banter. Context & EntitiesTopics

Sussan Ley Criticizes Chris Bowen's COP31 Role Amid Rising Energy BillsNovember 25, 2025 12:14 PM Full SummaryLey accused Bowen of acting as a part-time minister by leading negotiations at next year's COP31 summit in Turkey, after Australia stepped back from hosting. Bowen, fresh from COP30 in Brazil, countered by pointing to Ley's own international trips as Environment Minister to protect the Great Barrier Reef. Energy prices have climbed this year, with residential bills up 0.5% to 9.7% from July and national costs rising 19% over three years amid demand spikes and low wind generation. Experts affirm ministers can handle both domestic and global duties effectively. Key TakeawayDuring Tuesday's Question Time, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley pressed Energy Minister Chris Bowen on his new COP31 role, urging him to prioritize Australian families facing higher power bills.
