Do We Need to Talk About ‘Islam’ in 2025-(Before it is ‘Haram’)?!

image

Despite the abundance of reliable sources for information about one PARTICULAR ideology – Islam – I am both horrified and astounded at the extent to which non-Muslims continue to be ignorant of the harsh truths – HOW ABOUT LISTENING TO THIS JIHADIST; THEN LOOK AROUND AND THINK!!

I happened to as ChatGPT for some editorial guidance for the above and this is the message which appeared:

So, I guess even ‘referencing’ that ideology in England, objectively speaking of course, is ‘monitored’ via algorithms and judging by the rephrasing below, the ‘tone’ of the commentary has been ‘softened’?!!

As it happened, this is how ChatGPT rephrased the sentence above:

Despite the availability of reliable sources of information on one particular ideology—Islam—I am both concerned and surprised by the extent to which many non-Muslims remain unaware of the harsh realities surrounding it’.

The following is an excerpt from the following website: https://thereligionofpeace.com:

Muslims are individuals.  We passionately believe that no Muslim should be harmed, harassed, stereotyped or treated any differently anywhere in the world solely on account of their status as a Muslim.

As an ideology, Islam is not necessarily entitled to equal respect and acceptance.  Ideas do not carry equal moral weight.  The feelings or number of those who believe does not make the idea true or good.  Bad ideas should be challenged before they have bad consequences.

Islam is not simply a belief about God.  Islam is a word that means submission.  Islam is a set of rules that define a social hierarchy in which Muslims submit to Allah, women submit to men and all non-Muslims submit to Islamic rule. 

Since we don’t live in a Muslim country – where censorship, intimidation and brute force are shamelessly employed to protect Islam from intellectual analysis – we are still free to openly exercise our right to debate the merits of the Islamic value system against Western Liberalism…

  • Are men really superior to women as the Quran says
  • Are women intellectually inferior as Muhammad taught
  • Does propagating material that curses people of other religions amidst random calls to violence really make for a better social environment? 
  • Is it right to keep women as sex slaves merely because the Quran goes well out of its way to permit this practice in numerous places? 
  • Should atheists and homosexuals have to choose between the noose and an outward profession of faith in Allah?
  • Is conformity superior to freedom?

Yes, there are Muslims who take issue with these aspects of Islamic theology, but that doesn’t change what Islam is. 

Don’t confuse the ideology with the individual.  Don’t draw conclusions about Islam based on the Muslims that you know, be they terrorists or humanitarians. 

Islam must be understood on the basis of what it is, as presented objectively in the Quran, Hadith and Sira (biography of Muhammad).

By the same token, don’t draw conclusions about the Muslims in your life based on the true nature of Islam.  Like any other group, not all Muslims think alike.  Even if there is no such thing as moderate Islam it does not mean that there are no Muslim moderates.

If years of dialogue have taught us anything, it is that, irrespective of their confidence, most Muslims have a superficial understanding of their religion.  Some are secular, and very few made the choice to even be Muslim.  As with all religion, there are widely varying degrees of seriousness with which the teachings of Islam are taken. 

As Ayaan Hirsi Ali put it, “Muslims, as individuals, can choose how much of their religion they practice.”  For example, many Muslims in the West do not agree with amputating limbs over theft, even though it is plainly mandated in the Quran.  Most simply choose to disregard (or explain away) that which conflicts with their moral preferences.

The Muslims that you know are not terrorists.  More than likely, their interests in life are similar to yours and they have the same ambitions for their children.  They should neither be shunned, mistreated, nor disrespected merely because of their religion.  Their property should not be abused, and neither should copies of the book they consider sacred be vandalized.

Prejudging an individual by their group identity (or presumed group identity) is not only unethical, it is blatantly irrational, since group identity reveals nothing about a person.  Every individual should be judged only by their own words and deeds. 

Our advice:

Treat the ideology with caution and candidness.  Treat the Muslim with kindness, as an individual. 

Don’t judge Islam by the Muslims that you know, and don’t judge the Muslims that you know by Islam.

The Western mindset has been gradually shaped by emotional influences over time. In many cases, this has had a positive social impact overall, but at the same time, an emotionally-influenced mindset can sometimes lead to less favorable social outcomes. If you read between the lines, you’ll understand what I’m referring to: that by being overly sentimental, one’s guard can be lowered to potential dangers that might otherwise be more easily identified.

‘Mohammed Hijab’, is a man who has spent many years practicing ‘Dawah’, at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park London, (which I feel certain would not be tolerated if men and women of this country truly understood ‘what’ that was about) – let me play another clip:

The quote the ‘imam’ referenced is below:

At-Tawbah in Urdu script

Verse 29 of chapter 9 of the Qur’an is notable as dealing with the imposition of tribute (ǧizya) on non-Muslims who have fallen under Muslim rule (the ahl al-ḏimma). Most Muslim commentators believe this verse was revealed at the time of the expedition to Tabuk to threaten the Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome.[1][2]:239-240

[edit]

Verse as written in Arabic:[3]

قَـٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍۢ وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ


English translations of the verse:[note 1]

Sahih International: Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.

Muhsin Khan: Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Pickthall: Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

Yusuf Ali: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Dr. Ghali: Fight the ones who do not believe in Allah nor in the Last Day, and do not prohibit whatever Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, and do not practice (Literally: to have as a religion) the religion of Truth-from among the ones to whom the Book was brought-until they give the tax out of hand (i.e., by a ready money payment, or in token of submission) and have been belittled…

This was one of my earlier conversations with Mohammed Hijab back on April 30th 2018 – (people who watch this, know that I had spent the previous 2 years researching ALL that I was able to find out about ‘Islam’ and so one of the most valuable things I learned, was the art of ‘Taqiyya’ – lying is absolutely permitted, especially when furthering ISLAM…

Too many make assumptions about a topic they know nothing, (factually) about and here is a great example – ‘The House of Islam’ and ‘The House of War’ – the latter is where ALL non-Muslims happen to be, so once people absorb the true meaning of the two ‘Houses’, what would they do next?

Divisions of the world in Islam:

In classical Islamic law, there are three major divisions of the world which are dar al-Islam (lit. ’territory of Islam’), denoting regions where Islamic law prevails,[1] dar al-sulh (lit. territory of treaty) denoting non-Islamic lands which are at peace or have an armistice with a Muslim government,[2] and dar al-harb (lit. territory of war), denoting lands that share a border with dar al-Islam and have not concluded an armistice.[3] Muslims regard Islam as a universal religion and believe it to be the rightful law for all humankind. Muslims are imposed to spread Sharia law and sovereignty through lesser jihad against dar al-harb. According to Islam, this should first be attempted peacefully through Dawah[citation needed]. In the case of war, Muslims are imposed to subject[clarification needed], or eliminate fighters until they surrender or seek peace.[4]

The Arabic singular form dar (دار), translated literally, may mean “house”, “abode”, “structure”, “place”, “land”, or “country”. In Islamic jurisprudence it often refers to a part of the world. The notions of “houses” or “divisions” of the world in Islam such as dar al-Islam and dar al-harb does not appear in the Quran or the hadith.[5] According to Abou El Fadl, the only dars the Quran speaks of are “the abode of the Hereafter and the abode of the earthly life, with the former described as clearly superior to the latter

Referencing ‘Dar al Islam’ vs ‘Dar al Harb’:

No ‘political jihad’ going on here, then, eh?!
