Before we begin, we will, of course, define “Halal”. The literal translation is “permissible”, that is to say, acceptable by Islamic Law. Most people in the West are only aware of the term due to having seen a Halal certification label being slapped on their groceries at the supermarket. Effectively, anything labelled “Halal” is considered …
I start this series with a quote from the Quran itself. أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَۚ وَلَوۡ كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ غَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ ٱخۡتِلَٰفٗا كَثِيرٗا Why don’t they contemplate upon the Quran? Had it been originated from anyone besides Allah then it would have been beset with inconsistencies and contradictions. Quran 4:82 This verse presents a simple challenge to the thinking man. Find an error in …
One of the most morbid realities we’ve had to contend with, as a movement of those who venerate the Pagan Gods, is the damage done to our past. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Communists, even Buddhists and movements smaller still like the Jainists have raised a heavy hand against us. What was lost, in say, the ultimate …
One major lie about FGM is the lie that FGM is a modern practice, deviation or some African tribal practice that magically found its way into Islam. As we can see, it is something of an obsession from the earliest part of Islam: A woman used to perform circumcision [الْخِتَانُ – khitan] in Medina. …
Reader discretion for this topic is highly advised, as the content within is particularly repugnant, even by Muslim standards. For those with weaker stomachs (or simply those who wish to not lose further faith in humanity), the option to not read on would be well considered. First off, for the sake of full awareness …
These days, it’s hard to find images of anywhere more blatantly opulent than the United Arab Emirates’ Dubai. For the most part, the aesthetic that springs to mind when one imagines the “Middle East” is one of war torn deserts, but Dubai seems to be a true exception to the rule. Held lofty as a …
We can come to an estimate of how many Islamic slaves existed in ONE YEAR of Islam just by choosing something random. Let’s take 1650, the apogee of Islamic power: OTTOMAN EMPIRE By the year 1650, in Istanbul, it is estimated that approximately 20-25% were slaves, with Istanbul’s population being around 750,000. 175,000 were slaves. …
Slavery in Islam was never limited to foreigners nor was it ever just practiced on those outside of the Islamic core. Endless Arab slaves dot the pages of the Qu’ran in the first place. There is a long-running myth, often affirmed by Western scholars, that Arabs themselves were never subjected to slavery and barbarism under …

INDIAN/ASIAN SLAVES حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ أَبُو الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ جَبْرِ بْنِ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: وَعَدَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ الْهِنْدِ، فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهَا أُنْفِقْ فِيهَا نَفْسِي وَمَالِي، وَإِنْ قُتِلْتُ كُنْتُ أَفْضَلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَإِنْ رَجَعْتُ، فَأَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْمُحَرَّرُ It was …

Some black Americans and others have duped themselves strongly into believing Islam is some sort of ‘anti-racist’ sect. The enemy also pushes Islam as some broad tent of racial equality before ‘God’ where all of the atrocities of the western world are simply absent.
