CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC WARRIOR

Miami Beach, FL - Ahmed Zeeshan has been arrested after threatening a Jewish father and his two kids. Upon his arrest, he told police officers he did not like Jews because he was Muslim. He has been charged with a hate crime and had a standard bond denied.

Why do Muslims never talk about how Muhammad died and who killed him and why?

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Tulsi Gabbard’s Misleading Statements on Islam and Christianity Tulsi Gabbard, whether through misinformation or political expediency, has misled people by equating Jesus Christ and Muhammad as “messengers of love, peace, and universal brotherhood.” She further distorts the reality of Islamic teachings by selectively quoting a hadith that superficially suggests that Muhammad advocated fair treatment of non-Muslims. However, a deeper examination of history, Islamic doctrine, and the Quran itself reveals a vastly different reality. 1. The False Equivalence Between Jesus and Muhammad Gabbard’s statement falsely equates Jesus and Muhammad as similar figures, yet their teachings, actions, and the movements they inspired could not be more diametrically opposed. Jesus Christ - Taught unconditional love and forgiveness (Matthew ). - Rejected violence entirely and instructed his followers to “turn the other cheek” (Matthew ). - Died a martyr, refusing to defend himself against his persecutors (John ). - Never killed, enslaved, or waged war on anyone. Muhammad Personally led and commanded violent jihad, as seen in 65 military campaigns and raids (Ibn Ishaq). Ordered executions of critics (Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf, Asma bint Marwan) (Bukhari 56:369). Endorsed slavery and the rape of female captives (Quran , Abu Dawood 2150). Declared, “I have been commanded to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” (Sahih Muslim ). Reality Check: Jesus and Muhammad are fundamentally different—one preached self-sacrifice and love, the other conquest and subjugation. By ignoring these distinctions, Gabbard deceives the public into believing Islam and Christianity share the same moral foundation when, in fact, they stand in stark opposition. 2. The Misrepresentation of Muhammad’s ‘Protection’ of Non-Muslims Gabbard selectively quotes Sunan Abu Dawood (3052), where Muhammad warns against mistreating non-Muslims. However, this only applies to dhimmis—non-Muslims who are subjugated under Islamic rule and forced to pay the jizya tax. The Reality of the Dhimmi System Non-Muslims were second-class citizens, forced to submit under Islamic rule. - Jizya was an extortion tax imposed upon them as a sign of submission (Quran ). - Non-Muslims were subjected to humiliating legal restrictions, as outlined in the Pact of Umar: - Forbidden from building new churches or synagogues. - Forced to dress differently from Muslims. - Forbidden from riding horses, a symbol of power. - Required to step aside for Muslims in public places. Contradictions Within Islamic Teachings While Gabbard promotes this cherry-picked hadith, Islamic scripture itself contradicts it: - Quran 9:29: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah… until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” - Quran 8:12: “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” - Sahih Muslim 4366: Muhammad said, “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.” Reality Check: Muhammad’s so-called "protection" of non-Muslims was not based on universal love or equality—it was a system of forced submission, taxation, and humiliation. The very hadith Gabbard cites was never applied as a principle of tolerance but rather as a mechanism of control under Islamic supremacy. 3. The Bloody Reality of Islam’s Expansion If Muhammad truly opposed harming non-Muslims, as Gabbard claims, why does Islamic history tell a different story? - The Banu Qurayza Massacre – After besieging the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza, Muhammad ordered the beheading of 600-900 Jewish men and the enslavement of women and children (Ibn Ishaq 451). The Invasion of Khaybar – Muhammad’s forces attacked the Jewish settlement of Khaybar, seizing their land, executing their leaders, and taking women as concubines, including Safiyyah, whom Muhammad took as his wife (Bukhari 5:268). The Devshirme System – Under Ottoman rule, Christian boys were kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam, and trained as elite soldiers (Janissaries). Forced Conversions in India – Islamic rulers like Aurangzeb slaughtered Hindus, destroyed temples, and imposed Islam by the sword. Reality Check: Gabbard ignores the reality of Islamic expansion, which relied on conquest, forced conversion, and the brutalization of non-Muslims. If Islam teaches universal brotherhood, why has it historically imposed itself through war and subjugation? 4. The Modern-Day Hypocrisy of ‘Islamic Tolerance’ If Islam truly respects non-Muslims, why do Islamic-majority countries enforce the following today? Blasphemy and Apostasy Laws – Leaving Islam is punishable by death in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Religious Persecution – Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Yazidis face constant harassment, discrimination, and even execution in Muslim-majority nations. Destruction of Non-Muslim Places of Worship – While mosques freely operate in the West, churches and synagogues are banned or destroyed in many Muslim nations. Lack of Reciprocity – Muslims demand religious freedom in the West but refuse to grant it to Christians and other minorities in their own countries. Reality Check: Gabbard ignores the lived reality of Islamic intolerance today. If Muhammad truly respected non-Muslims, why do his followers still practice systemic oppression of religious minorities in Islamic nations? 5. The Consequences of Gabbard’s Deception Gabbard’s statements serve a dangerous purpose: They deceive Western audiences into believing that Islam and Christianity are fundamentally similar—a claim refuted by both scripture and history. They whitewash Islam’s long history of violence, expansion, and subjugation, misleading people into accepting Islam’s encroachment under the guise of tolerance. They ignore the ongoing persecution of non-Muslims in Islamic nations, thereby diminishing the suffering of millions living under Islamic oppression today. Final Statement: The Truth Must Be Defended Tulsi Gabbard’s misleading rhetoric must be exposed for what it is: a calculated distortion of history, theology, and modern reality. The world cannot afford to ignore Islam’s violent legacy and its ongoing impact on global civilization. Jesus preached love, forgiveness, and peace. Muhammad preached war, submission, and conquest. Islamic history is not one of peaceful coexistence, but of domination and oppression. The false narrative of Islamic "tolerance" must be rejected, and the truth about Muhammad’s teachings and Islam’s historical expansion must be told without apology.
