Islam > Sent by Allah to civilize the west - teaching us to stop using toilet paper

 

At the risk of this being considered bathroom humour, it is, in fact, a real teaching from a real Islamic imam in Dearborn, Michigan, the Islamic capitol of America.

This is what I call Satanic Reversal.

Michigan: Muslim influencer says Allah sent Muslims to civilize West, uncivilized Westerners still use toilet paper

By Robert Spencer on Nov 27, 2024

"Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones.'" (Bukhari 1.4.161)

"Islamist Influencer In Dearborn, Michigan Lecture For Muslim Teens: Christianity Is Dying, That's Why They Are Forced To Embrace LGBTQ Values; Allah Has Sent You To Civilize Them, Guide Them From Darkness To Light; Westerners Don't Want You To Succeed Because They Are Jealous Of What You Have; They Are Uncivilized, Still Use Toilet Paper In The Bathroom," MEMRI, October 12, 2024:

In a lecture to Muslim teens at the Dearborn Community Center on October 11, 2024, Islamist influencer who goes by "Way of Life SQ" criticized Western and American culture, calling it "backward." He claimed that despite their technological advancements, philosophy, and ideas, Westerners remain "uncivilized" for using toilet paper in the bathroom. Way of Life SQ emphasized that Muslims were sent by Allah to bring civilization to these nations, moving them "from darkness to light." He also stated that Christians are "jealous" of Islam and that the Christian religion is "dying," and therefore it was forced to bring LGBTQ values into their fold.

The lecture was streamed live on Masjid Al-Salam on YouTube. In July, Way of Life SQ said in a New York City sermon at the MAS Bronx Muslim Center, that Christians Cannot Fill Their Churches With 'Regular People', So They Are Letting Homosexuals In; Do Not Fall Victim To Zionist Plans; Hollywood, Music, Disney Are Zionist And Satanic. It is noteworthy that on October 12, Way of Life SQ delivered an Islamic learning session for high school and college aged young men at the West River Academy, a public charter school in Dearborn, Michigan.

Way of Life SQ: "And you start fixating yourself on the American culture, the Western culture.

[...]

"You see the Shaitan [devil] tricks you with all this advancement in technology. Yet, they still haven't figured out that when you go to the bathroom, they're still wiping themselves with paper. All this advancement! Think about how advanced they've become! They're trying to go to Mars, they're trying to take over Saturn. They're trying to do all this stuff. Their cars are trying to be self-driven. Yet when they go to do the most lowest form of human nature, the call of nature, they're still wiping themselves and cleaning themselves with paper. They're uncivilized. Do not be tricked and deceived by the technology. Do not be tricked and deceived by their philosophies and their Westernizations and their ideas. At the end of the day, they're still backwards.

[...]

"Allah has sent us to these nations to civilize them. That's why Allah has sent us, to civilize these people. Yet the media makes us look like the barbaric ones.

[...]

"The reason they don't want you to be successful is because they're jealous of what you have. The Christians, jealous of what you have.

[...]

"Their nations, their religions are dying. So what they had to do, they had to change their religion. You don't believe me? We went to churches and they're now having the LGBT flags over there. Imagine, your business, your religion is dying so much that the only thing that you can do is go and get help from the LGBT, that's the condition you've become. Because their religion is dying. Allah, the praised and exalted, has sent us into the nations to guide these people from the darkness into the light."

Satanic Reversals > Florida Imam accuses Jews of the very things Muslims do

 

Florida: Imam says Jews are ‘like Satan,’

‘they conceal the truth. And they conceal knowledge.’

“Those to whom we gave the book recognize this as they recognize their sons. But indeed, a party of them knowingly conceals the truth.” (Qur’an 2:146)

“Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say, We hear and disobey, hear as one who does not hear, and Listen to us, distorting with their tongues and slandering religion. If they had said, We hear and we obey, hear and look at us, it would have been better for them, and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe, except for a few.” (Qur’an 4:46)

“Orlando, Florida Friday Sermon By Sheikh Abu Usama At-Thahabi: 

The Jews Resemble Satan, They Trick And Deceive You;

Jews Are Poisoning Our Community, Are Slumlords;

I Make Supplications Against Them Every Day,” 


You can make supplications 10 times a day for all the good it will do, no one is listening to you except the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And He knows you accuse Jews of the very things that you are guilty of. 

Godly Jews 'do not lie'! It is the ninth Commandment from God. Mohammed has given Muslims permission to lie, and, indeed, encourages them to. Who is the Father of Lies?

I admit that godless Jews can be terrible people and deserve great criticism. They are an embarrasment to God and fellow Jews. But most Jews are not godless. 

MEMRI, June 21, 2024:

Sheikh Abu Usama At-Thahabi said in a June 21, 2024 lecture at Masjid As-Sunnah in Orlando, FL that among the characteristics of the Jews is that they hide the truth and conceal knowledge, and that they are tricky and deceptive. Mimicking how Jews supposedly act deceptively, he said that they look like Satan, that he is not willing to be taken advantage of by a group of people who he makes supplications against every day, and that the Jews’ holy book permits them to sell bad meat and poison to gentiles. In addition, he said that African-Americans who grew up in the ghetto know that the Jews are the slumlords, that the Zionists are the worst, and that the Jews believe they are God’s Chosen People and can therefore do whatever they want. The lecture was livestreamed on Masjid As-Sunnah’s YouTube channel.

Abu Usama At-Thahabi is a U.S.-born imam who used to serve as the imam of the Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham, England. He has recently returned to the United States.

Abu Usama At-Thahabi: “Those Jews – they hide the truth. They conceal the truth. And they conceal knowledge. That’s how they are. That’s what I see when I meet these people.

They conceal knowledge? There are only several million Jews in the world while there are nearly 2 billion Muslims. 15 Muslims have won Nobel prizes; 214 Jews have won Nobel prizes. This should reflect on whether Muslims can understand the wisdom of the Jews. 

[…]

“They’re always changing the words from their right place. They tell you one thing and they mean another thing.

[…]

“Yeah, they deceive you. They trick you. They trick you. ‘Hey, come here and drink from this water right here.’ And he’s looking at you, like Satan, with this… ‘Come drink from this water…’ And you guys are laughing… I’m telling you, man! And you drink like, ‘Oh, it’s so cold, it’s got ice-cold in it, we’re brothers in religion, we’re brothers in humanity, mashallah!’

“Brothers in humanity… And you drink that water, and there you go. You check out. That’s the Jews to me. And the Zionists are worst.

[…]

“You can be collectively sleeping on these characteristics, but I’m not sleeping on them.

[…]

“I’m not trying to get taken advantage of by anybody, especially – especially – by a group of people who I make supplications against every single day.

[…]

“They look down on us.

[…]

“Gentiles, gentiles. That’s in their book.

[…]

“You stand with the Jews? With all that they’re doing to us in our community and to you directly?

[…]

“Their book says you can sell the dead carcass – carrion meat – to the gentile, but you can’t sell it to the Jew! They’re giving us poison in our community. Ask anybody African-American who grew up in the ghetto like myself! They’re the slumlords!

[…]

“They believe that they’re Allah’s Chosen People and that they can do whatever the hell they want to do.”

Isn't that what Muslims believe? It's certainly the way they act.

Do you think Muslims will be able to lie like this when Jesus returns?

*SatanicReversal > Muslim says Israelis Hijacking the Holocaust

 

Astonishing in its stupidity, this makes one wonder if being a historian requires having something between your ears other than air?


UK: Muslim historian records podcast,

‘Don’t Let Israelis Hijack the Holocaust’

Spurious claims of victimhood are at the core of the “Palestinian” nationality, and so if any other group, particularly the Jews, whom the Qur’an designates as the Muslims’ worst enemies (5:82) have any claim to actual victimhood, they must be impugned.

British Historian Dr. Osman Latiff In Podcast Episode Titled ‘Don’t Let Israelis Hijack The Holocaust’: The Jews Today Claim They Are Victims Of Oppression, Like The Nazis Did Dring The Holocaust; Israeli Scientific Progress Is A Fake Veneer Of Civility

MEMRI, February 3, 2024:

British historian Dr. Osman Latiff [also spelled Uthman Lateef], in a February 3, 2024 episode of “Empowered by Islam21c” podcast titled: “Don’t Let Israelis Hijack the Holocaust”, equated Nazi Germany’s conduct during the Holocaust and Israel’s modern day policies. Dr. Salman Butt, the host of the podcast asked whether there are parallels between Israel’s claims that it is attacking Gaza in defense against rockets and terrorism and Nazi Germany. Latiff replied that the Nazis did a very similar thing, claiming they were being attacked and inflating the numbers of their casualties, and that like the Israelis, they criticized the scrutiny of their actions by the allies. He went on to say that the Nazis saw themselves as victims under the oppression of “certain European powers,” who were just defending themselves. Latiff added that Jews “say the same thing today,” and that they exaggerate and “inflate the numbers.”

Latiff claimed that just as the Nazis located Auschwitz near an industrial center, so do Tel Aviv, Israeli progress in industry, and its scientific accomplishments, give of a “fake veneer of civility” to the country. He said these should not serve as a distraction, because sometimes “within the cloak of civility people can commit the worse of all deeds.” Later in the podcast, Latiff said that prominent Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel seeks to hijack and politicize the Holocaust, and called on listeners to be “more morally courageous,” and change the way history is taught.

Dr. Salman Butt: “What can we learn, in terms of remembrance from the Holocaust? What are some of the parallels and so forth when it comes to what’s happening in Gaza?

[…]

“Lots of apologists for Israeli crimes online, on Twitter, for example, they hit back at comparisons to Nazis and so forth, saying, among other things: ‘We are being attacked, we are just defending ourselves, we’re the ones who are the victim. Palestinians did a terrorist attack, or they are throwing rockets, so we’re defending ourselves. So, we have to do this.’

“Is there a parallel in the Nazi Holocaust of this type of discourse?”

Dr. Osman Latiff: “Yes, there is absolute parallel because the Nazis said the same things. The Nazis said: ‘We are being attacked’. The Nazis, in fact, inflated numbers, they criticized any scrutiny of their actions by the Allied powers. The Nazis had very similar thing.

[…]

“The Nazis saw themselves, Germans, as victims, as under oppression, because of the strength of European powers, and whenever they lashed out, they said: ‘We are simply defending ourselves.’ The Jews say the same thing today, but they also have the same thing as the Nazis… The fact that they… When it comes to, for example, numbers they exaggerate, inflate the numbers (*SR).

*SR  - This is exactly what Hamas does and what Israel does not do. Hamas lies about absolutely everything and exaggerates beyond belief. 

[…]

“There are many, like you mentioned. I remember when we went to Auschwitz, we drove from Krakov, the cultural hub of Poland, to Auschwitz, but we passed by a town or a village, called Oświęcim. We were told that Oświęcim was this industrial city during the Holocaust and it provided a bit of a cover for the world, because they couldn’t believe… How could you have the horrors of the Holocaust happening right next to industrial center called Oświęcim. I think that sense of cover is very typical and is very repeated today.

“[It is ] the same when people see, for example, progress of Tel Aviv. They talk about Tel Aviv and industry, progress, scientific wonders, and big buildings, and whatever. And then, of course, just around the corner you have a genocide committed against Gaza.

“I think that sense of fake veneer of civility should never be a distraction for us because that can be, and it should never [be]. And I think that’s something we should be wary of because sometimes within the cloak of civility that people can commit the worst of all deeds.

I have to admit Hamas does not bother with a 'cloak of civility', they simply commit the worst of all deeds and then blame them on the victims.

[…]

“People like Eli Wiesel, kind of, seek to politicize, weaponize the Holocaust only on behalf of…”

Butt: “Hijack it.”

Latiff: “Yeah, hijack it. I think that we should be more morally courageous and brave than that. And for our children, for the next generation of people to realize that that’s not the way we should teach history.”

Exactly! There is no room for the truth in Islamic history!

Islam is the new Nazi!

Satanic Reversal > PNI accuses Israel of Genocide; Muslims burn down Muslim shop, blame Jews, start riot in Melbourne; Racist teacher says she's victim of racism

 

*Satanic Reversal is a term I just invented to describe how evil people reverse claims of violence and other evils that Satan and his minions, which includes all liars, are responsible for, as they accuse innocent people of such atrocities that only they themselves would ever do.

Many samples will come from Islam where, unlike Christianity and Judaism, there is no compulsion to tell the truth. 

Why Satanic Reversal? Because Satan is the father of lies and chronic liars are his children.

I will sometimes use *SR to indicate a particularly obvious case. Here are a few examples of Satanic Reversal.



PNI leader Mustafa Barghouti: 'The real goal 

is to eradicate the Palestinian people'

TÊTE A TÊTE © FRANCE 24

As the war in Gaza approaches its fifth month, FRANCE 24 spoke to Mustafa Barghouti, a doctor, General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI) party and longtime human rights activist based in Ramallah. Barghouti called the situation on the ground in Gaza "absolutely horrifying", with "people bombarded around the clock". He also cast doubt on Israel's stated goal of eradicating Hamas. "The real Israeli goal is to eradicate the Palestinian people, not Hamas," he said. "They (Israel) know they cannot eradicate Hamas as a political force."

"The 100,000 people killed or injured (in Gaza), are they Hamas? The 11,00

0 children who are killed, are they Hamas? Of course not. This is not an attack on Hamas only, it's an attack on all Palestinian people," Barghouti said.

According to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, at least 27,478 people have been killed and 66,835 wounded since fighting erupted on October 7.

The Health Ministry is Hamas-run, and, like everything else that comes out of Hamas, it is either a flat-out lie or a gross exaggeration.

Barghouti called for an "immediate, complete and permanent ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip. He also sounded the alarm over Israel's statement that its ground forces would advance on the overcrowded Gaza border town of Rafah.

"They speak now about attacking Rafah. Rafah has 1.4 million people, at least, clustered in a very small area. If they start bombarding (Rafah) it will be the largest-ever massacre in human history," he warned.

See what I mean? Gross exaggerations.

The *SR in this piece is the accusation that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people when it was Hamas and the Palestinians who began the conflict by attempting to murder as many Jews as they could. Hamas' stated intention is to eliminate Jews from the Holy Land - genocide.

Australia: ‘Palestinian’-owned burger joint

claimed to have been firebombed by Jews

was actually burned by Muslims

Yet another “anti-Muslim hate crime” turns out to have been a hoax. There appear to be far more fake anti-Muslim hate crimes than real ones (of course, there shouldn’t be any of either).

This video contains useful background on this story:

Second Burgertory blaze accused faces court

by Emily Woods, Australian Associated Press, February 1, 2024 (thanks to J.):

A second man has faced court accused of setting fire to a Melbourne burger shop, leading to a violent clash between Israel and Palestine supporters.

Habib Musa was charged with arson over a fire at Burgertory restaurant in Caulfield on November 10, which allegedly caused $450,000 of damage, court documents reveal.

The 27-year-old is also charged with theft for allegedly stealing a gold 2010 Mercedes Sedan, worth $10,000, on the same day….

We'll assume that it was a gold-coloured Mercedes. 

His case will be joined with his alleged co-accused, Wayle Mana, who remains in custody after a court hearing on Thursday when he refused to appear due to a severe leg injury….

The Burgertory shop’s owner claimed the fire was a hate crime, which he said was linked to his involvement in a pro-Palestine rally. *SR

*SR - The owner here was trying to make Jews out to be as evil and destructive as Muslims. Habib Musa is certainly a Muslim name and I'm darn sure that Mana is not a Jew because Musa worked with him to burn the Burger shop. They were probably trying to shake down the shop in a protection racket. 

Two groups of about 200 people clashed near a synagogue and the Burgertory store, hours after the owner made the claim.

Victoria Police said there was no evidence the blaze was racially or politically motivated.




Maryland: Muslim Teacher Says She’s Victim

of Racism After She’s Suspended for

 Calling for Israel’s Disappearance

A Muslim (middle) school teacher in Maryland has filed a discrimination complaint after being suspended for using the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as her email signature. More on the outraged, and outrageous, Hajur El-Haggan, can be found here: 


Muslim school teacher says she’s victim of racism after being suspended for using ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ as her email signature

by Emma Richter, DailyMail.com

A Muslim school teacher in Maryland said that she is a victim of racism after she was suspended for using ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ as her email signature.

Hajur El-Haggan, a math teacher at Argyle Middle School, was placed on administrative leave in November after she was told that her chosen signature was not allowed.

Of course, she is a victim of racism - her own!

 

This was her school email, not her personal account. Students, parents, and fellow teachers would all be subjected, in their email correspondence with her, to this message: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

This phrase is a call for the establishment of a Palestinian state on all the land from the river Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, and for the disappearance of the Jewish state. All of its Jewish inhabitants would be expelled or killedRightly understood, it is a call for ethnic cleansing, and the replacement of the only Jewish state by a twenty-third Arab one. It is understandable that the principal would not want one of his teachers displaying such a sentiment on a school account.

The Muslim and Arab-American teacher has since gone on to file a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Maryland Commission on Human Rights against Montgomery County Public Schools.

‘I have co-workers who have “Black Lives Matter” in their email signatures, or links to their pronouns and what they mean. My quote does not fall into a different category,’ El-Haggan told KUTV.

She is wrong. Her quote is in a different category. “Black Lives Matter” does not call for ethnic cleansing or the destruction of a state and its people. Phrases about pronouns that have to do with self-identification as non-binary, similarly, are not a threat to the existence of anyone. “From the river to the sea” is such a threat; it means politicide accompanied by ethnic cleansing.

The complaint stated that after she was reprimanded by the school’s principal about her email signature, she offered to take it down, but they [sic] proceeded to tell her that she would still be suspended.

Even if El-Haggan had taken down that email signature, that would not have changed the fact that she supports the disappearance of Israel, and the removal of all of the Jews living now “between the river and the sea.” Isn’t that the real “racism” that is involved here, and not her suspension? She was not suspended because she is a Muslim Arab, but because of her support for the ethnic cleansing of Jews “from the river to the sea.”

The discrimination complaint, which has also been filed with the local Fair Employment Practices Agency, said that El-Haggan and her colleagues at the school ‘hold certain personal and political views regarding various social injustices.’…

Would a teacher who had made known his, or her, support for the KKK, or for neo-Nazi groups, be allowed to continue as a teacher? El-Haggan’s views are not merely “political,” but rather, a call for the destruction of a country and the ethnic cleansing — some might even say the attempted “genocide” — of its people.

The complaint also noted that besides El-Haggan, other teachers in the middle school ‘expressed opinions about various political and social matters.’…

But none of her fellow teachers called for what amounts to ethnic cleansing. 

‘Just like here in America, we have “From sea to shining sea,” it’s no different. It’s a call for freedom, peace, basic rights, and humanity and coexistence,’ El-Haggan said….

No, Ms. Al-Haggan. They are not the same. “From sea to shining sea” is merely the geographical description of a country — America — that is being celebrated as “beautiful/from sea to shining sea.” “From the river to the sea” is not a call for “freedom, peace, basic rights, and humanity and coexistence,” but rather, a malevolent call for the destruction of a state and its people.

The complaint also said that three days before she was placed on leave, the Palestinian flag in her car that said ‘Free Palestine was cut off of her vehicle and written on….

Did she promptly report this act? It would be strange – should raise a skeptical eyebrow – if she had not done so. Or was this claimed attack dreamed up later to support her lawsuit, suggesting that she was living in a hostile, anti-Palestinian, racist environment?

The phrase ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ has long been seen as a call for destruction by the Jewish population, but for the Palestinian community and their supporters, it has been seen as a peaceful call for liberation.

No, that phrase is not seen as a “peaceful call for liberation” by the Palestinians. They know exactly what it means — the destruction of the Jewish state and the expulsion, or killing, of its Jewish population. In this hoped-for future state of “Palestine,” only Israeli Arabs would be allowed to remain.

There is speech that is beyond the pale. Calling for the destruction of a state and its people, because of their religion, is such speech. It is reasonable for the Montgomery County School Board to want to protect its students from such speech, directed at the only Jewish state, just as it would want to protect them from teachers found to endorse the KKK or neo-Nazis. El-Haggan and her lawyer hope to convince the judge that “from the river to the sea” is an innocuous call for “peace and liberation.” It is not. And the lawsuit will be determined by whether or not the judge, or possibly members of a jury, understand its malevolent significance.
