Muslim Bogeyman

"There is no person on earth who is going to say that America didn't lose this war! There is nobody—NOBODY!" Ultra-Zionist John Podhoretz has a meltdown over Trump's Iran deal.

كثير من العرب العنصريين ينعتونني بـ"النيغر" و"العبد" فقط لأنني مصري وأحمل حوالي 20 بالمائة من الدنا الإفريقي جنوب الصحراء. أسألكم بكل صدق ومباشرة: هل تعتقدون حقاً أنكم أحرار أكثر من شعوب إفريقيا جنوب الصحراء؟ قد يكونون أفقر مادياً، لكن من الذي يواجه قيوداً أكبر عندما يريد أن يعبر عن رأيه بحرية في السياسة أو الدين، أنتم أم هم؟ كم قاعدة عسكرية أمريكية توجد في بلدانهم مقارنة ببلدانكم؟ من الذي يحتاج أكثر إلى حماية "الرجل الأبيض" واستجداء رضاه، أنتم أم هم؟ الشعوب السوداء، خاصة في إفريقيا، من أكثر الناس تواضعاً على وجه الأرض. وقد حذرنا النبي ﷺ من أن يكون في القلب مثقال ذرة من الكبر. قد تظنون أن ما أنعم الله به عليكم من موارد طبيعية يجعلكم أفضل من غيركم، لكن هذا وهم. إنما التفاضل بالتقوى فقط. أنا أفضل أن أكون 100 بالمائة أسوداً وخالياً من هذا الكبر، على أن أشبه العنصريين منكم بأي شك

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me. Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so. Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to. Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions. Why? If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others. Truth does not need censorship. If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher. You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home. The double standard needs to be called out.

A supremacist undercurrent just unmasked itself. I baited the Arab nationalist Najdists in their own tongue, and they did not disappoint. Out poured the contempt: Arab blood exalted, non-Arab believers from Africa to Asia to the West cast as second-class, their cultures branded corruptions of the faith. Not every Khaleeji. Many recoil at this. But a racism festers in those lands, and it is that same racism that lets them shrug at Palestinian and Yemeni blood, the poorest of Arabs and the noblest. This was never fringe. It is the creed’s logical end. Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was refuted in his own lifetime, even by his own brother Sulayman, who rebuked him for his recklessness in takfir, and by towering scholars after him such as al-Shawkani and Ibn Abidin. He survives today not on scholarship but on political utility and tribal pride: a tool to Arabize Islam, hoard power, and sideline the global Ummah. And mark the hypocrisy of his defenders. Many of the loudest among them are regulars at the brothels of London, men who shed every mask of piety the moment they land for holiday and sink into the most hedonistic Western excess, disgracing the image of Arabs across the West. The mask did not slip. It shattered, before the English-speaking world and the whole Ummah. Point proven, beyond reasonable doubt. History will not forget.
