Imam At CUNY Reportedly Calls For Fingertips Of “Filthy Rich” To Be Cut Off Under Sharia Law
Imam At CUNY Reportedly Calls For Fingertips Of “Filthy Rich” To Be Cut Off Under Sharia Law
The City College of New York campus began the latest example of anti-Semitic and extremist speech this week after Abdullah Mady, a student and self-proclaimed Imam, refused to sit next to a Jewish speaker and called for the tips of the fingers of “the filthy rich” to be cut off in accordance with Sharia law. Mady sparked a walkout of Muslim attendees at an interfaith religious event after objecting to the fact that he was seated next to Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer and Executive Director of Hillel at Baruch College, launching into an anti-Semitic diatribe.
“I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept. My people are being killed right now in Gaza. If you’re a Muslim, out of strength and dignity, I ask you to exit this room immediately.”
Notably, 100 students joined him in the protest by walking out.

Mady also extolled sharia law in his comments, advocating that the “tips of the hands of a thief” be cut off to reduce crime. He then stressed that he was only talking about mutilating the wealthy: “I’m talking about the elite, the filthy rich, the ones that continue to steal from people as we speak today. Those are the ones that deserve their tips to be cut off.”
What is most notable about these hateful words is how figures like Mady are combining Islamic extremism with the extreme economic messaging in New York, where a socialist was just elected New York mayor.
Mady declared, “Sharia, it stands against the oppressor. When shariah is implemented, pornography — gone. Alcohol industry — gone. Gambling system — gone. Interest is gone, which is what they use to enslave you.”
Indeed, it sounds like Jews, free speech, separation of church and state and capitalism would be “gone” in the paradise awaiting the United States as a Sharia-based system.
Again, what is most striking is that most of the CUNY students in attendance then joined this extremist in walking out in protest.
Mady has a bachelor’s degree in psychology but is working toward a bachelor’s degree in “translational medicine,” which CUNY says is “an innovation process from ideation to prototyping to clinical evaluation.” Mady’s “ideations,” however, involve amputations that might not sit well with some patients.

Teens charged with murder in Loop stabbing of man: CPD
Three teenage boys now face charges in the killing of a man on a Loop street over the weekend, Chicago Police announced Tuesday.
Shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday, CPD officers found a man stabbed to death in the 200 block of South Wabash. The victim remained unidentified as of Tuesday, but the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said he died of a stab wound to the back. His death was ruled a homicide.
Cook County Crime Stoppers, which offered a reward for information on any suspects, said it was likely the victim was homeless.
Two of the suspects, ages 14 and 16, were charged with first-degree murder, and the older teen was also charged with mob action, according to police. Another boy, also 14, was charged with armed robbery.
Police said the three were taken into custody Sunday afternoon in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood. The suspects’ names were also withheld and it was not clear when they’d make initial appearances in court.
The fatal stabbing came on the heels of two other high-profile instances of violence in the city’s downtown area. Last week, a man with a long history of arrests allegedly set a woman on fire as she rode the CTA Blue Line through the Loop. Federal prosecutors have since filed terrorism charges against the suspect, who yelled “I plead guilty!” during his first appearance in court.
Late last Friday, two shootings in the Loop left a 14-year-old boy dead and eight other teens wounded. No charges have been filed in either case.

Baja la confianza del consumidor en EEUU debido a la inflación y el desempleo
Por CHRISTOPHER RUGABER
WASHINGTON (AP) — Los consumidores en Estados Unidos mostraron mucha menos confianza en la economía en noviembre tras el cierre del gobierno y en medio de una contratación débil e inflación persistente.
El Conference Board informó el martes que su índice de confianza del consumidor cayó a 88,7 en noviembre desde una lectura revisada al alza de 95,5 en octubre, la segunda lectura más baja desde abril, cuando el presidente Donald Trump anunció aranceles generalizados que provocaron una caída en el mercado de valores.
Las cifras sugieren que los estadounidenses están cada vez más cautelosos ante los altos costos y el lento crecimiento del empleo, con percepciones del mercado laboral empeorando, según encontró la encuesta.
La disminución de la confianza podría plantear problemas políticos para Trump y los republicanos en el Congreso, ya que las opiniones más pesimistas sobre la economía se observaron entre todas las afiliaciones políticas y fueron particularmente marcadas entre los independientes, señaló el Conference Board.
También el martes, un informe del gobierno mostró que las ventas minoristas se desaceleraron en septiembre después de lecturas saludables durante el verano. Aunque los economistas pronostican un crecimiento saludable para el trimestre de julio a septiembre, muchos esperan un desempeño mucho más débil en los últimos tres meses del año, en gran parte debido al cierre.

“Clean Out The Garage”: Dick’s Sporting Goods Set To Shutter Some Foot Locker Stores
“Clean Out The Garage”: Dick’s Sporting Goods Set To Shutter Some Foot Locker Stores
Dick’s executive chairman Ed Stack told CNBC senior retail reporter Courtney Reagan that it will close an unspecified number of Foot Locker stores as part of a major restructuring to prevent the newly acquired chain from dragging on profitability.
“We need to clean out the garage,” Stack told Reagan. “We’ve taken pretty aggressive markdowns to clean out old merchandise. We’re impairing some store assets. We’ll close some stores… everything we’re doing is there to protect 2026 and just kind of do this one time.”
The restructuring will weigh heavily on Foot Locker’s results this quarter, with comparable sales expected to fall in the mid- to high-single digits and margins compressing by 10 to 15 percentage points.
In May, Dick’s acquired Foot Locker for $2.4 billion, a deal that was completed in September. This acquisition creates a larger sports retail chain that can expand its global reach and offer a wider range of products and services to a broader customer base.
However, that customer base in the U.S. skews toward lower-income and lower-middle-income consumers, and it is not surprising that the retailer is restructuring, given that these consumers are financially pressured.
Meanwhile, Dick’s core business remains solid: Comparable sales rose 5.7%, far ahead of Wall Street estimates, prompting the company to raise full-year guidance. Dick’s now expects comparable sales growth of 3.5% to 4% and EPS of $14.25 to $14.55.
Q3 results beat Wall Street estimates:
EPS: $2.78 adj. vs. $2.71 expected
Revenue: $4.17B vs. $3.59B expected
In a recent channel check, Goldman analysts led by Kate McShane visited a Foot Locker store in Jersey City, New Jersey, and found light traffic and elevated promotions.
Here are McShane’s findings:
Traffic was light; in-stocks appeared healthy
“Just gift” signage in front window with Jordan 1 high and lows and AF1s in window display
New Balance sneakers in front of store display and Jordan apparel
Uggs and Timberlands are now on wall near front of store where the Nike Vomeros used to be
Shifted Nike Vomero on the wall; a few Vomero colorways are now on sale for the first time we have seen
Shifted basketball shoes on the wall more towards the front middle of the store
Moved non-Nike running shoes on the wall towards the back of the store (Hoka, On, and Asics)
Seemed that there were more workers in the store than usual – we counted 10-12
In men’s, we estimate that 34% of Nike footwear was on sale with an average promotion of 32%, compared to 21% of Adidas footwear with an average promotion of 33% and 38% of New Balance footwear with an average promotion of 42%. In women’s, we estimate that 30% of Nike footwear was on sale with an average promotion of 34%, compared to 57% of Adidas footwear with an average promotion of 32% and 45% of New Balance footwear with an average promotion of 37%.
Promotions Observed at Foot Locker
More details.
Foot Locker operates 2,400 stores globally, with 677 located in the U.S. as of August. Stack provided no details on how many stores will be shuttered or on the timing of the closures.

Guardiola alcanza 100 partidos en Champions con el Manchester City
MANCHESTER, Inglaterra (AP) — Pep Guardiola nunca ha dirigido un partido en una competición europea por debajo del nivel de la Liga de Campeones y el martes cumplirá su 100mo partido en la competencia de élite de Europa con el Manchester City.
El City recibe al Bayer Leverkusen buscando una 14ta victoria consecutiva contra equipos alemanes en casa para extender una racha que comenzó antes de la llegada de Guardiola en 2016.
Guardiola ha duplicado su cuenta de 50 partidos en la Liga de Campeones que tuvo con el Barcelona, donde ganó dos títulos en cuatro temporadas. Con el Bayern Múnich dirigió 36 partidos de la Liga de Campeones en tres temporadas que terminaron todas en las semifinales. El City en la era Guardiola ha ganado un título y perdido la final de 2021 ante el Chelsea.
También el martes, el Barcelona visita al Chelsea como cuando el Barça ganó la semifinal del 2009 para llegar a la final del torneo en la temporada debut de Guardiola.
Stamford Bridge será el escenario que recibirá al 11mo y 12do de la clasificación de 36 equipos. Hasta ahorita el Chelsea y Barcelona se encaminan hacia los playoffs de clasificación en el punto medio de la fase de liga de ocho rondas.
También se enfrentan el número 36 contra el número 35 en los primeros partidos del martes, cuando el Ajax reciba al Benfica y al menos uno de los antiguos campeones europeos finalmente ganará un punto en el quinto intento.
El Galatasaray, sin el delantero nigeriano lesionado Victor Osimhen, quien actualmente es el máximo goleador de la Liga de Campeones, recibe al Union Saint-Gilloise en el otro partido temprano.
La Juventus viaja al Círculo Ártico para enfrentarse al Bodø/Glimt, donde se pronostica que la temperatura se mantendrá apenas por encima del punto de congelación.
Además, es Borussia Dortmund-Villarreal, Marsella-Newcastle United, Nápoles-Qarabag y Slavia Praga-Athletic Bilbao.

Review: A truly terrible ‘Taming of the Shrew’ at Court Theatre
What is it about William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” that attracts progressive, feminist directors who hope to tame its inherently violent sexism and then spend their entire show fighting against a play, a comedy, that did not demand a new production in the first place? I, for one, do not know.
Chicago Shakespeare Theater learned its lesson years ago with a famously epic fail. But the latest disaster in the “Shrew” Chicago oeuvre is Court Theatre’s ill-conceived new staging, a joyless, weird, creepy, barely comprehensible and thoroughly unpleasant theatrical experience that lost a good portion of its head-scratching audience at intermission on Sunday night and surely alienated many of the rest who stayed.
The stated intent here was to offer a “fresh interpretation focused on feminine desire.” Right. Because you open “The Taming of the Shrew” and think, now here’s a play that wants to be focused on feminine desire.
I can’t remember seeing such a disaster before at Court (well, one time, some 20 years ago), a theater with the highest standards. Moreover, the talented director-adaptor Marti Lyons has done very fine work for years all over town. This one, she will want to erase from her resume, especially since it was not essayed in an experimental black-box theater, but on a distinguished mainstage at the holidays, a time of year when audiences reasonably are expecting the kind of warm-hearted coming together that Court has offered up in this slot for decades. It’s totally perplexing artistic decision-making.
If you do find yourself at this show, my first advice is to read the insert in your program, without which you will be at sea (that’s a warning, right there). In essence, the heavyweight conceit here is that we are watching a play within a play.
Fine. That’s true of the original, conceived as the fantasy of a drunken tailor. But here, we are watching a group of amateur actors doing the show for the first time — maybe donors who won the kind of casting auction that Victory Gardens used to do back in the day. So, in essence, Court’s cast is playing actors, with ages scrambled from what is typical, who are in relationships with others also doing the play, outer-life relationships that get messed up by their sexually charged actions as these fictional characters. The whole thing has a writhing, “Eyes Wide Shut,” bondage-y vibe at times, which I get was intended to be a progressive take reflecting the aforementioned desire but really ends up making the play even creepier than is usually the case.
Granted, an argument always can be made that Kate and Petruchio are playing one big sexual game to which they both have consented, thus explaining away all those unpleasant scenes of domination and the like. I’ve seen that several times and it can half-work. But even if you stipulate that approach has merit, this still is a comedy. Surely, the two of them are having fun.
Here, Petruchio and Kate are intended to be stuck in some joyless experience which progressively arouses them both, not that you believe for a second they really are attracted to each other. We get chocolate smeared on the body of Melisa Soledad Pereyra, the actress playing Kate, by Jay Whittaker, the actor playing Petruchio, in a truly excruciating scene that is intended to be erotic, but just feels wildly uncomfortable in the context of these performances in this play. And that is one of the more interesting scenes. Overall, the show cannot buy a laugh, even though the actor Alex Weisman, who plays Grumio and belongs in an entire different show, does his level best to find one. Not in this world, alas. There’s no warmth, no vulnerability, no fun whatsoever to be found in this world with this play.
One big problem is that there are almost no lines outside the original text, which may get you academic points for staging cleverness but surely doesn’t help you introduce the outer characters, which is kind of essential to make this idea work. The end is especially confusing, and while I think I tracked the deconstructive intentions (Jackie Fox’s beautifully rendered set suggests such a clash), I’ve no idea what statement Lyons was trying to make about marriage or relationships at the end. Maybe it was just about the danger of showmances.
In fairness, this is not an unserious, cynical or exploitative show, and certainly not one lacking conceptual ambition (hence the second star below). But it’s pretty terrible when it comes to the execution. It feels like it flows from a group of artists who spend a lot of time in academic echo chambers and were intrigued by the idea of deconstruction and/or reclamation. Alas, they seem to have forgotten to address the most important question of all, especially for a theater that produces a small number of shows: What do we expect the ordinary person in the audience to feel, and why are we taking up their time with this play?

Brees, Rivers, Fitzgerald, Witten y Gore lideran semifinalistas al Salón de la Fama
Por JOSH DUBOW
Los quartebacks Drew Brees y Philip Rivers, junto con el receptor Larry Fitzgerald, el ala cerrada Jason Witten y el corredor Frank Gore, llegaron a la etapa semifinal en su primer año de elegibilidad para el Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Americano Profesional.
Están entre los 26 candidatos de la era moderna que avanzaron a esta etapa en la votación realizada por el comité de selección de 50 miembros para la clase de 2026.
El comité de selección reducirá la lista a 15 finalistas, quienes serán votados antes del Super Bowl en febrero.
Cuatro jugadores ya aseguraron su lugar entre los 15 finalistas después de que en el 2025 quedaron entre los últimos siete: Willie Anderson, Torry Holt, Luke Kuechly y Adam Vinatieri ocupando esos lugares.
Los otros finalistas que regresan son Eli Manning, Fred Taylor, Steve Smith Sr., Reggie Wayne, Jahri Evans, Marshall Yanda, Terrell Suggs y Darren Woodson.
El liniero ofensivo Lomas Brown y el liniero defensivo Kevin Williams fueron los otros dos candidatos que alcanzaron la semifinal por primera vez. Los otros semifinalistas son Hines Ward, Richmond Webb, Steve Wisniewski, Rodney Harrison, Earl Thomas, Vince Wilfork y Robert Mathis.
Además de los 15 finalistas de la era moderna, el comité de selección considerará a tres veteranos, un entrenador y un colaborador para la clase de 2026. Entre cuatro y ocho nuevos miembros serán elegidos en el segundo año de este formato actual.
Solo cuatro personas ingresaron el año pasado, siendo la clase más pequeña en 20 años.
Brees y Fitzgerald son los candidatos más relevantes este año.
Brees es el segundo de todos los tiempos después de Tom Brady con 80.358 yardas por pase y 571 pases de touchdown. Pasó las primeras cinco temporadas de su carrera con los Chargers de San Diego antes de firmar como agente libre con los Saints en 2006, donde su carrera despegó al ayudar a levantar una ciudad que aún se recuperaba del huracán Katrina.
Brees entregó a Nueva Orleans su primer título de Super Bowl tras la temporada 2009, cuando ganó el MVP del juego después de vencer a Peyton Manning y los Colts de Indianápolis. Brees fue seleccionado al Pro Bowl 13 veces en su carrera y fue nombrado Jugador Ofensivo del Año AP en 2008 y 2011, fue All-Pro en 2006 y fue All-Pro del segundo equipo cuatro veces.
Fitzgerald pasó toda su carrera con los Cardinals de Arizona después de ser seleccionado tercero en general en 2004. Sus 1.432 recepciones y 17.492 yardas recibidas en 17 temporadas ocupan el segundo lugar de todos los tiempos después de Jerry Rice.
Fitzgerald superó las 1.000 yardas recibidas nueve veces, empatado en el cuarto lugar de todos los tiempos, y ayudó a los Cardinals a llegar a su único Super Bowl tras la temporada 2008. Fitzgerald estableció récords de una sola temporada en esa postemporada con 546 yardas recibidas y siete recepciones de touchdown, incluyendo una anotación de 64 yardas para tomar la delantera con 2:37 por jugar en el Super Bowl antes de que Pittsburgh se recuperara para ganar 27-23.
Rivers ocupa el séptimo lugar de todos los tiempos con 63.440 yardas por pase en una carrera que pasó principalmente con los Chargers. Fue seleccionado a ocho Pro Bowls y ganó el Jugador Regreso del Año de AP en 2013.
Witten fue uno de los alas cerradas más prolíficos de la historia y ocupa el segundo lugar de todos los tiempos con sus 1.228 recepciones y 13.046 yardas. Witten fue All-Pro dos veces para Dallas y fue All-Pro del segundo equipo en otras dos ocasiones.
Gore ocupa el tercer lugar de todos los tiempos con 16.000 yardas por tierra con nueve temporadas de 1.000 yardas y cinco honores de Pro Bowl.
La carrera de Kuechly fue breve pero impactante. Seleccionado por Carolina en la primera ronda del 2012 fue All-Pro cinco veces, con siete selecciones al Pro Bowl y un premio al Novato Defensivo del Año.
Durante su carrera de ocho años, Kuechly lideró a todos los apoyadores de la NFL en tacleadas (1.090), balones recuperados (26), intercepciones (18) y pases defendidos (66).
Vinatieri fue uno de los pateadores más decisivos en la historia de la NFL, convirtiendo los goles de campo ganadores en las dos primeras victorias del Super Bowl durante la dinastía de Nueva Inglaterra.
Ayudó a iniciar la racha con uno de los mejores goles de campo: un gol de 45 yardas en la nieve para forzar el tiempo extra en el juego conocido como “Tuck Rule” contra los Raiders en la ronda divisional de 2001. Hizo el gol ganador en tiempo extra para ganar ese juego y luego acertó un gol de 48 yardas en la última jugada de una victoria de 20-17 en el Super Bowl contra los Rams.
Vinatieri es el líder de la NFL en puntos (2.673) y goles de campo realizados (599) en una carrera de 24 años con Nueva Inglaterra e Indianápolis. También lidera a todos los jugadores con 56 goles de campo y 238 puntos en la postemporada.
Holt fue clave para el “Greatest Show on Turf” de los Rams, ayudando al equipo a ganar el Super Bowl en su temporada de novato en 1999 y regresando allí dos años después. Holt lideró la NFL en yardas recibidas en 2000 y en recepciones y yardas en 2003 cuando hizo su único equipo All-Pro.
Holt terminó su carrera con 920 recepciones para 13.382 yardas y 74 touchdowns.
Anderson fue considerado uno de los mejores tackles derechos de su era después de ser seleccionado en la primera ronda por Cincinnati en 1996. Pasó casi toda su carrera con los Bengals e hizo tres equipos All-Pro consecutivos de 2004 a 2006.

Michael Osipoff’s top 10 boys basketball teams and 25 players to watch in Northwest Indiana for 2025-26 season
Crown Point is among the contenders for the Class 4A state title this season, but Chesterton and West Side are on the rise again.
TOP 10 TEAMS
1. Crown Point (23-3): It could be a special season for the 2025 Class 4A semistate finalist Bulldogs, who have won back-to-back regional titles and shared back-to-back Duneland Athletic Conference titles. Senior guard/forward Dikembe Shaw (Illinois-Chicago), an Indiana Junior All-Star last season, headlines the group. Senior guard Mason Darrell (Bellarmine), senior guard Kingston Rhodes and senior guard Bryce Peters also are back, as is senior guard Kaiden Rhodes. Sophomore guard MJ Wilson has potential.
2. Chesterton (15-9): The Trojans seem poised for an outstanding season with their entire starting lineup and top six scorers back, led by standout senior guard Logan Pokorney (Taylor). Congo native Bradly Basila, a sophomore forward/center, should shine in his first full season. Junior guard TJ Ray, senior guard Jaylon Watts, senior forward/center Caden Schneider and junior guard Malachi Ransom all are back.
3. West Side (17-7): The Cougars’ resurgence should continue. Senior guard Reginald “Trey” Hinton and senior guard Bryce Cooper are high-level players. Senior center Tyler Crews could be in position for a breakout season. Senior guard/forward Julian Holmes also is back. Forward Prentiss Gates and guard DeShawn Clay Jr. are potential impact freshmen.
4. 21st Century (21-7): The 2025 Class 2A semistate finalist Cougars, who have won nine sectional titles in 10 seasons and three regional titles in four seasons, should be contenders again. Senior guard Terrence Hayes Jr. (Missouri State), an Indiana Junior All-Star last season, is an elite player. Senior guard Ron Mosley and senior guard Jacolby Donaldson also are top players. Senior center Me’Trell Harbin, who spent his first three seasons at Bishop Noll, Don Bosco and Portage, and junior forward/center Kayleb Young, who transferred from Highland last season, should provide size. Senior guard/forward Jerry Triplett III, who transferred from Andrean, is another addition.
5. Munster (16-8): Standout senior guard Josh Malloy leads the Mustangs, who have won eight straight Northwest Crossroads Conference titles, a stretch that includes 42 wins in a row. Senior guard Victor Guaramato and junior forward Troy Jarrett also return for the perennial postseason contenders.

6. Michigan City (13-10): Could this be the season when the Wolves break through for their first sectional title since the consolidation? Senior guard Jaron Upshaw, senior guard Terrance McCray, senior forward TQ Van Buren, senior guard Isaiah Smoot and senior guard Nick Stewart all are back. Bolstering the rotation will be senior forward/center Colson Dobre, a Marquette transfer; senior guard Brian Jackson, a Westville transfer; and sophomore forward Myshawn Dawson, a Portage transfer who is the son of former Lew Wallace and Michigan State star Branden Dawson.
7. East Chicago Central (21-9): The 2025 Class 3A semistate finalist Cardinals lost Indiana All-Star Dominique Murphy to graduation after winning their first regional title since 2007. Senior guard Joseph Watkins and senior guard Jamarie Pollard should help pick up the slack. A promising freshman class includes guard Mekhi Gillis and guard Naji Meux.
8. Portage (20-6): The Indians will have a dramatically different look after the departure of a history-making class that won their first sectional title since 2001 and first DAC title since 1988. Sophomore guard Bryce Kobe should emerge as a go-to player. Junior guard Karter Kobe also returns, along with junior guard Dennis Moran III and junior guard Josiah Brown.
9. LaPorte (16-10): The versatile Slicers, who reached a Class 4A sectional final last season, return eight letter-winners. Leading the way is junior guard Griffin Ott-Large. Senior guard Sawyer Tonagel (Taylor) and junior forward Reed Raymond also are back.
10. Kouts (24-5): The 2025 Class 1A semistate finalist Mustangs return largely intact. Senior guard Lucas Kleckner highlights the returnees. Senior center Eli Harper also is back, along with senior forward Landon Garrett, senior forward Jesse Overholt and sophomore guard Billy Miller. Seven of the top eight players in the rotation are seniors, and four of the five starters played on the baseball team that was the 1A state runner-up in the spring.
