Eight years ago I wrote an article about the ideology of the new anti-Islamic crusaders, based on militant liberalism and cultural Judeo-Christianity. And while I am sure that the Christchurch massacre is a product of this particular ideology, it should be noted that Brenton Tarrant explained his manifesto with other ideas. Tarrant differs from Breivik in that he declares himself[Read More…]
Two elements seem common in this anti-Islamic international we can see getting stronger around the world: 1. From Burma, to Sri Lanka, to China, and especially to Europe (but also among Pakistani or Malay liberals, Iranian and Arab secularists, Central Asian sons of soviets, etc etc), there is a commonality in this idea of Islam being something foreign – specifically[Read More…]
An Open Letter to sister Sinead O’Connor First of all, let me start with the traditional Islamic greeting, As-salam alaikum (peace be upon you), and I would like to welcome you to Islam. I am also a white convert to Islam in 2003. You will find that Islam gives us a chance to get closer to our creator, Allah, the[Read More…]
So far, by and large, the Muslim Rum have tried to make use of the existing infrastructures (mosques, Islamic schools, Islamic centres, Zakat funds, magazines and newsletters, etc.) to make their contribution to the enactment of Allah’s Din in this age. Overall, this approach has not yielded important results. It cannot. Those infrastructures are run through the funds and prevalent[Read More…]
If you have to draw just one lesson from the Ertugrul series, transcending the many implausibilities and soap opera twists, let it be this: Having a tribe does not stifle you from beneficial action and enactment of the Din, quite the opposite, it enables it; and it does not prevent you from genuine solicitude for the other communal aggregates, in[Read More…]
”After having converted to Islam, Sinead O’Connor no longer wants to be around any white people whom she called “disgusting” and seemed to think include all non-Muslims. The 51-year-old singer, who now goes by the name Shuhada’ Davitt, even acknowledged that the sentiment she was about to express Tuesday is racist. “I’m terribly sorry. What I’m about to say is[Read More…]
Don’t we get it? We are at the top of the social hierarchy of all the social groups in the world today. And we have Islam. We are the Abu Bakr’s and the Umar’s and the Uthman’s. The Prophet SAW prayed for one of the Umar’s to become Muslim because both Umar’s had high standing in Mecca. They had[Read More…]
Isn’t it funny that white converts connected with the Warith Deen Muhammad community (also known as The American Society of Al-Islam), or even with past in the Nation of Islam, speak about the problems of white Muslims in the U.S. today? Although I lived on the other side of the Earth, for me as a white European interested in Islam,[Read More…]
The main reason why European converts do not develop their identity and communities are the European Muslims themselves. Some of them hate the very idea of it, because they specifically fled to Islam from their born identity. To the others it’s just not interesting. Why? The fact is that most born Muslims are products of their societies or micro-societies from[Read More…]
In search of the correct model of their identity, the known white converts prefer to turn to any alternative, rather than move by most obvious and logical way. So, one of them tries to “heal” white Muslims from their whiteness, offering them to feel Muslim Rednecks or Southern Muslims (of the USA). By itself, such an approach is quite organic[Read More…]
