Blog/News: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – We Forgot 9/11
Before the death of Charlie Kirk, this week would have had one reminder of a day that should stay forever etched in our memory: 9/11. 25 years ago, two planes were flown into the World Trade Center, another was crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth plane, which was believed to be headed towards the White House or the U.S. Capitol, crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after the passengers aboard heroically fought the hijackers. In total, 2,977 people were killed, not including the 19 hijackers who, despite the rantings and ravings of conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens, were Muslim jihadists, not Jews.
After that horrific day, the nation made a promise never to forget 9/11 and the atrocities committed. Yet, 25 years later, we’ve broken that promise. We’ve forgotten, and now a less obvious Islamic threat has arisen with their most powerful weapon yet: ignorance.
Even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we were reassured that Islam was a religion of peace, and the only Muslims we needed to worry about were the ones that had hijacked it for their own purposes. To suggest otherwise was promptly labeled “Islamophobic.” While it is true that most Muslims in the West are peaceful, if we are to look at the Quran and hadiths, Islam’s most important books, we see that Islam is not inherently peaceful and sooner or later, that will become undeniably obvious.
I have written several posts about this, which you can read here and here. Within Islam, due to verses like Surah 9:5, 9:29, 2:178-129, etc. (full list of verses here) and hadiths like Sunan an-Nasa’i 3097, Sunan an-Nasa’i 3099, Sunan an-Nasa’i 3098, Sunan an-Nasa’i 3103, Sunan an-Nasa’i 3106, peaceful Muslims are terrible at following Islam. It’s sadly the Muslims who commit horrible atrocities like 9/11, October 7th, or the British Grooming Gangs who, according to Islam, are doing the will of Allah and are on the fast track to heaven.
This, unfortunately, is the thing that many people are completely ignorant of, and the Muslims have been taking advantage of it. But the other thing that we’ve forgotten that ties into this is how jihad doesn’t just look like blowing people up in the name of Allah. It’s a worldwide struggle to establish an Islamic takeover, and if it’s not done through warfare, it’s done through demographic changes and votes. It’s done through convincing the unbelievers that the Muslims are peaceful, so don’t mind if the demographic changes and you all of a sudden have a Muslim mayor or a Muslim terrorist-sympathizer running for senate.
The most notable example of this has been Zohran Mamdani, in the very place where 9/11 took place. He has ridden this wave of ignorance for his entire mayorship so far, saying that Muslims just want to be treated like normal Americans. While – once again – this is partially true, if you look at what Muslim teachers teach, it’s clear that many Muslims want to take over, and teach a Muslim supremacist doctrine (that, once again is found in the Quran.)
If we do not recognize this, we’re going to get more 9/11s and barely any response. If we do not recognize what happened on 9/11 as being a direct consequence of what the Quran teaches and allow the Muslims to take over, we will see America and the West be taken over by Islam.
Until next time,

Balancing Worldly Work and the Pursuit of the Hereafter: The Comprehensive Islamic Concept
The balance advocated by Islam does not mean dividing a human life into a secular part and a spiritual part as if they were conflicting paths. Rather, it means living out one’s worldly life while keeping the afterlife in mind, turning daily affairs into a path toward God’s pleasure. -
News: This Should Disturb Everybody – The Rape Gang Inquiry and the Role Islam Played.
On Monday, I talked about how the British government, through laws making it nearly impossible to speak out about, investigate, arrest, or prosecute members of the rape gangs, has facilitated the jihad that is taking over Britian. Now, we need to discuss the role Islam itself plays in these rape gangs.
Leftists and Muslim propogandists would love for you to think that the atrocities committed by these grooming gangs has nothing to do with Islam, or, at least, that the actions of the Muslim men (who make up at least 90% of the rapists if not more) are a perversion of Islam that Muhammad never taught. This, however, is an outright lie that is not supported by the Quran, hadiths, or various tafsirs (commentaries) and biographies of Muhammad, nor is it supported by survivor testimonies.
To start with the survivor testimonies, several women reported an obvious religious motivation from their rapists. One survivor, Taylor, reported that before being raped, her abusers would chant the Bismallah, a prayer that translates to, “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” This prayer is often recited by Muslims before beginning any sacred action and is a call for help and blessings from Allah in what they’re about to do.
Another survivor named Kate reported that not only was she subjected to abuse because of her race, but also because she was Christian. The report writes:
Kate was verbally attacked and demeaned because of her religion, including being mocked for wearing a cross and being told that “her Christian faith offered her no protection.” The abusers regularly suggested that “her God had abandoned her.” Comments were constantly made suggesting that white girls and Christian girls were viewed as having degraded moral character
or lower value, whereas Muslim girls were described by some of the men as having dignity and higher moral standing.Other survivors reported similar things, saying that Muslims girls were treated differently and given some degree of protection. Eleanor – another survivor – converted to Islam not for theological reasons, but to make herself less at risk. She reports that she had female Muslim friends who never received the type of treatment she did from the men. Dr. Ella Hill, a survivor of the Rotherham grooming gangs said in the 2022 Jay Inquiry:
I was told that I must respect their religion. This was the first of many confusing lies that I was forced to believe. I was told that to show them (Muslims) respect, I mustn’t eat pork. I was told that Muslim girls are good and pure, and stay virgins until marriage, but all white girls are slags, and they all sleep with hundreds of people. I was told white girls are trash. They are all whores. They are lower than shit under your shoe. They don’t obey Allah, so they deserve to be punished. They don’t dress modestly. Muslim women are pure because they cover down to their ankles, and down to their wrists, and the hem of their top comes down below their knees. White girls show the curves of their body, so they are asking for it. They should be raped as punishment for not obeying Allah. Kaffir [non-Muslim] girls are worthless. Sex with a kaffir girl doesn’t count as adultery (only sex with a Muslim woman counts as adultery). If you’re not a virgin before marriage you should be beaten. Many times I was told that the Quran says, “If one of your wives disobeys you, beat her.” This was often quoted to me before they beat me with their hands. They believed they had a position of religious moral superiority over “nonbelievers.” They believed it was their duty to punish us, as they believed that doing so made them good Muslims. This is what they were taught by their mothers. They were taught that witches in Pakistan are blonde, so blondes are more evil, and they deserve worse punishment. I was told that in Islam, if a girl or woman looks at a man who isn’t her brother, father or her husband, then that means she wants to have sex with him. So I was told to look at the floor when I was around Muslim men. So when I did look at a waiter in a restaurant, I was then taken away to be gang raped as “punishment.” I was told that according to their faith community, girls are old enough for sex when they start
their periods (at age eleven).Further, it wasn’t just white or Christian girls who were being trafficked, though they certainly made up the majority of the victims. Hindu and Sikh girls were targeted as well, though their communities were allowed to better protect them, forming groups of men to protect the girls, eventually driving the rape gangs out.
From this, we can see that religion absolutely played a huge role in why these girls were targeted. If you were Muslim, you were, for the most part, safe. If not, you were fair game.
But is this supported by Islamic texts? Is this what Muhammad told his followers to do?
The answer is sadly yes because this isn’t just a random occurrence. This is a form of jihad against non-Muslims, deeply rooted in the belief in Muslim supremacy.
To start with the belief in Muslim supremacy, in numerous passages of the Quran, non-Muslims are repeatedly called the “worst of creatures” (Surah 98:6, Surah 8:55), compared to apes and pigs (Surah 5:60, Surah 2:65, Surah 7:166), are called “unclean” (Surah 9:28) and greedy (Surah 2:96), and are said to be cursed by Allah (Surah 2:88, 159,161). Meanwhile, Muslims are called “the best of peoples” (Surah 3:110, Surah 98:7), and as such, they are commanded to only be merciful amongst themselves while hating non-Muslims. (Surah 48:29) They are told never to befriend non-Muslims (Surah 3:118, Surah 4:89, 144, etc.), and to fight them in jihad until they are wiped out, convert to Islam, or agree to pay the jizyah tax and live as dhimmi (second-class citizens). (Surah 2:191, Surah 9:5, 29-39, 73, 123 Surah 4:74-76, 84, 95, Surah 5:33, Surah 8:39, 60, 74, Surah 47:4, Surah 66:9) If you fight in jihad, you not only get your booty on earth, but if you die, you get it in Heaven in the form of the 72 virgins, food, alcohol, and little boys. If you don’t fight, then you’ll be tortured. (Surah 9:39)
Now, you might be thinking, “But how can this be jihad if the rape gangs aren’t participating in actual warfare? And where is the rape part justified?”
Well, as I have explained on this blog before, jihad comes in different forms, with the two categories being lesser and greater jihad. Technically, the way Islamic scholars define these is the opposite of how I define them, but I’m defining them like this is one affects you personally and the other affects the greater scope of humanity. Lesser jihad is your personal struggle to remain faithful to Allah. Greater jihad is the global struggle to force the world into submission to Allah. This can range from gradual modes of takeover like birthing and raising Muslim children, or enacting demographic and political change, to waging outright war. The rape gangs are enacting greater jihad by persecuting non-Muslim women through rape and torture and, in some cases, forcing them to convert to Islam. I believe they are well aware that if you can’t kill off your enemies, one of your best bets is to breed them out or make it harder for them to have kids.
As for where the rape part is justified in jihad, the Quran, hadiths, and tafsir, provide answers. In numerous hadiths such as Sunan Ibn Majah 2753 and 2754, Muhammad talks about spoils of war. While these certainly included the usual stuff, they also included women. And what were the Muslim men allowed to do with these women? Well, according to Surah 4:24, they were allowed to have as many as they wanted and to sleep with them, provided they first engaged in a muta (or temporary) marriage with them.
Additionally, in a tafsir on Surah 9:49, it is reported that Muhammad promised his men Byzantine women (particularly blonde women) as war booty. Al-Wahidi reports:
(Of them is he who saith: Grant me leave (to stay at home) and tempt me not…) [9:49]. This was revealed about Jadd ibn Qays the hypocrite. This is because when the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, was preparing for the Battle of Tabuk, he said to him: “O Abu Wahb, would you not like to have scores of Byzantine women and men as concubines and servants?” He said: “O Messenger of Allah, my people know that I am very fond of women and, if I see the women of the Byzantines, I fear I will not be able to hold back. So do not tempt me by them, and allow me not to join and, instead, I will assist you with my wealth”. The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, turned away from him and said: “I allow you”, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse.
Al-Tabari corroborates the previous tafsir in his commentary on this verse, writing:
Regarding the interpretation of His saying: “And among them are those who say, ‘Grant me leave and do not put me to trial.’ Unquestionably, into trial they have fallen. And indeed, Hell will encompass the disbelievers.” (49)
Abu Ja’far said: It was mentioned that this verse was revealed concerning Jadd ibn Qays.
And what He, may His praise be exalted, means by His saying: “And among them,” and among the hypocrites, “are those who say, ‘Grant me leave,’” meaning, “Stay, and I will not go with you,” and “do not put me to trial,” meaning, “Do not afflict me with seeing the women of the Byzantines and their daughters, for I am infatuated with women, and I would go out and sin by doing so.” (18)
And this is the interpretation that the reports from the scholars of interpretation have corroborated.
- The narration of this, as related by the one who said it:
16785- Muhammad ibn Amr told me, saying: Abu Asim told us, saying: Isa told us, on the authority of Ibn Abi Najih, on the authority of Mujahid, regarding God’s statement: “Grant me leave and do not tempt me,” he said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Go to Tabuk and take the daughters of the Byzantines and the women of the Romans as spoils of war!” Al-Jadd said: “Grant us leave and do not tempt us with women.”
16786- Al-Qasim told us, saying: Al-Husayn told us, saying: Hajjaj told me, on the authority of Ibn Jurayj, on the authority of Mujahid, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Go to Tabuk and take the daughters of the Byzantines as spoils of war”—meaning the women of the Romans—then he mentioned something similar.
16789- Yunus told me: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: Ibn Zayd said regarding the verse: “And among them is he who says, ‘Grant me leave and do not put me to trial,’” he said: He was a hypocrite named Jadd ibn Qays. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: “This year we will raid the Byzantines and take concubines and servants from among them.” (20) He said: “O Messenger of God, grant me leave and do not put me to trial. If you do not grant me leave, I will be tempted and will stay behind!” (21) The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry. (22) God said: “Indeed, they have fallen into temptation, and indeed, Hell will encompass the disbelievers.” He was from Banu Salamah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to them: “Who is your leader, O Banu Salamah?” They said: “Jadd ibn Qays, except that he is stingy and cowardly!” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What disease is more debilitating than miserliness? But your leader is the fair-skinned, curly-haired youth: Bishr ibn al-Bara’ ibn Ma’rur.” (23)
All of this combined also shows something else: a preference for taking white women as concubines.
Historically, Muslim men have particularly singled out white women, believing them to be nymphomaniacs to be taken and used. In the Rape Gang Inquiry’s report, we see this pattern playing out, as survivors described being called “white slags,” “trash,” “easy,” being told they liked the abuse, etc.
Additionally, there’s the question of why the men targeted young women especially. Part of it is because children are easier to manipulate, but another reason is because Muhammad married a child, Aisha. When the person you follow as the ultimate example was a pedophile who slept with a nine-year-old, it’s no surprise that these people are fine with raping children.
Finally, it’s no secret that Islam treats women poorly and demands that they stay in the house (Surah 33:33). If they need to go out, it then tells women to cover themselves to avoid making men lust after them (Surah 33:59). Women who don’t do so are considered promiscuous and it’s common to hear Islamic teachers comparing women who don’t wear the hijab to meat left out in the open for flies or feral cats to eat. Thus, Muslims use that to justify raping, trafficking, and torturing non-Muslim women since “they were asking for it.” In the words of Sheik Taj Aldin al-Hilali, “If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.” Men aren’t told to control their lusts in Islam; they’re just told to blame the women for being “too tempting.”
From a mix of all of that, we can see how Islam has made these rape gangs into what they are.
Until next time,
M.J.

✧ Ibn Khaldun ✧
Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) was an Arab scholar, historian, philosopher, and sociologist.

📖 Daily Quran
Al-Baqarah - Verse 62
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran:
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. -

Now that I'm back in the semester, more teaching will appear, and less text editing.
It always surprises me how textbooks that give excerpts of the Qur'an give such a narrow range of excerpts. (And so predictably, either ethical exhortations to care for the vulnerable or the interreligious polemics, depending on the textbook author's political leanings.) The Qur'an is a very diverse book! I had to create my own selection to show some greater breadth.
What's my teaching goal? Mostly I want students to realize the Qur'an is complex and that before they say, "Well the Qur'an says X" they should stop and read not just an isolated verse or two, and ideally they should engage with the #tafsir (commentary) tradition. I teach against soundbites.

“Had We sent down this Qur’aan upon a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbled and torn apart in awe of God. We set forth such examples for people so that they may give thought.” (59:21)

Start listening from Chapter 2 (The Source of the Qur’aan) if you want to skip the introductions/definitions* and cut straight to the chase.
