To Muslims of Connecticut and surrounding areas:
REJECT COLONIALIST "REFORM" OF ISLAM
REJECT THE CREATION OF A SANITIZED, NEUTERED, GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED "AMERICAN ISLAM"
BOYCOTT MIFTAAH INSTITUTE'S "TIDES OF CHANGE" PERVERSION OF ISLAM
Since 2001, the US Government has doubled-down on the centuries-old colonialist project of creating, promoting, and normalizing a neutered "American Islam" that consists of only ritual and cultural practices and some universally accepted liberal principles that pose no threat for the dominant Secular, Humanist world order. Some of their focus areas in the public sphere:
Enticing Muslim women to emerge from the protection of sacredly ordained Hijab and imitate the activities of men- attempting thereby to break Islam's divinely ordained patriarchy and attacking the family unit- one of the main sources of Islam's strength.
Compatibility of Islam with a “pluralistic” vision of society in which Sodomites, Satanists, Transvestites, Feminists, etc. are just tolerated, accepted worldviews.
Abrogation and reinterpretation of the sacred duty of Jihad as purely spiritual exercise or peaceful protest
Portraying Khilaafah and Islamic government as cultural, historical, vestigal artifacts and something that is incompatible and impossible to implement in the "modern world."
Characterizing of the divine laws, like the hudood punishments, as matters of "difference of opinion," specific to certain time frames and societal conditions, etc.
In brief, to convert Islam from a complete way of life- that governs every moment of the believers’ individual and communal lives- to only a secular, personal "religion" like that of the modern Jews and Christians.
Next week, April 25th, some of the prominent agents of this perverse agenda, so-called "scholars", in the guise of a supposed "Islamic event," will be in the New Haven, CT area pushing forward their project of normalizing and desensitizing the unsuspecting Muslim community to their deviancy:
exposing Muslim women in public and encouraging their parading about in front of the perverted scholars and mixing with men
normalizing heretics and desensitizing the public to clear deviance and sin under the slogan of "open dialogue" and "exchange of ideas"
twisting and distorting Islam to suit their agenda under the slogan of "navigating the modern world with wisdom"
Spread the news to your friends, family, and acquaintances: It is NOT PERMISSIBLE for a Muslim to attend this event. Our beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
Whoever increases the numbers of a group of people, then they are treated as part of them
that is — even if they don't agree with everything those people are doing, they will be punished for being part of a gathering of sin regardless of their agreeing with it or not.
There is no concept in Islam of "going and seeing what they have to say" or "taking the good and leaving the bad." Knowledge should only be taken from people of piety and righteousness. The people who attend "Islamic" functions like this- if they are dangerously spiritually sick and have extremely low levels of shame, hayaa, and ghayrah for the deen- they might come away with a very good feeling inside from all the motivational words which are spoken but, in reality, they have filled their hearts with blackness and filth from sitting in those places where the curses of Allah are raining down and the blackness in the hearts of the evil speakers are passing into their hearts:
"The information you hear about Islam becomes your concepts and ideas of deen, without you realizing it. So be cautious and discerning in who you take information from."
The very fundamental belief and Imaan of those who attend events like this is in serious and immediate jeopardy. It is no wonder that the number of open murtads is increasing among the Muslims at never-before-seen rates, and perhaps is only outpaced by the increase in people who identify as Muslim, but hold beliefs and ideas that are, in fact, kufr and antithetical to an Islamic worldview.
Some of the speakers at this event:
Yasir Qadhi
In his own words:
Speaking to ex-Muslims who want him to preach reform of Islam: "Should [hudood laws in Islam] be updated and modernized? That's an ongoing discussion"1 [Note: saying that the hudood should be changed or modified to fit Western norms is a statement of kufr]
Speaking to Jews and Christians about the Qur’aan: "The texts say things that are somewhat problematic. The texts have some laws that are somewhat bizarre. And this is ALL texts..."2 [Note: considering any part of the shariah or the nusoos of Islam as bizarre because it contradicts Western Liberal values is a statement kufr]
“Reform [of Islam to make it sanitized and conform to Western Liberal Values:] has to occur from within, organically... We have to work within the system of Islam to reform it. That's what I'm attempting to do bit by bit."3
A non-Muslim asks him, "Doesn't it say, ‘a Muslim if he leaves his religion should be killed?’" Yasir Kazi replies: "Indeed Islamic law DID have that doctrine. The question is, are modern Muslims required to keep that part of the law, or can we fine-tune and modify it? That is an ongoing discussion that is taking place... That particular law CAN be modified..."4
"To a predominantly Muslim audience, I was telling them, 'Guys, who is saying amongst you we need to establish an Islamic state? We are American Muslims! It is nonsensical and un-Islamic.'"5
Bragging about his perversion of sitting Muslim men and women side by side in the masjid so he can stand in front of the women and satisfy his disgusting lusts: "Our setup right now, sisters and brothers like this- my teachers, and Mufti's teachers, will kick us out of mainstream Islam because of this setup... They don't accept it... But I accept it. I don’t have a problem…"
This is a creature who openly proclaims his intention and his ongoing project to pervert Islam from the beautiful, unchanging divine guidance into merely a "religion" like the other corrupted religions of the world! He readily admits that he is changing the deen and not faithfully transmitting forward what he had learned- that is, betraying the very sacred duty that comes with seeking knowledge.
Do we have so little ghayrah for our beautiful Islam and Shariah that this charlatan is being granted a platform among us?
Khalid Latif
Bemoans the “bigotry” of anti-LGBT (sodomites and transvestites) speech and attends rallies and protests against it.6
In his own words: “Do you think the Muslim community is ready to discuss the place of LBGT Muslims in the larger community?”7
Praised publicly by CIA Director John Brennan for his work promoting government-sanctioned “tolerant and peaceful Islam” and being “eager to serve [his] country.”8
Waheed brothers and Miftaah Institute
At the forefront of normalizing "American Islam" functions with Muslim women enticed into sitting exposed in the front of the room for the perverted speakers to leer and ogle at.
Joke with one another in public about placing the seats so that they are "facing the women."
Normalize bringing female speakers on stage to "teach" male audiences.
Under the slogan of "dialogue" and “respect for different opinions” normalize and promote heretics that support gay rights, feminism, false equivalence between religions, interfaith perversion of Islam and all the other "features" of the government-promoted "American Islam."
No self-respecting Muslim father/brother/uncle/son can tolerate that their female relatives are seated down in front for such perverts to cast lustful glances at for hours at a time! When hayaa’ (modesty, bashfulness) is half of iman, no believing woman can shamelessly sit down in front of these “scholars” in this manner to look at him unashamedly and have him looking at her unashamedly. Don't be deluded by these dajjaali liars into thinking that things you know are sinful and disgusting are normal or "differences of opinion." Every Muslim who has a bit of consciousness and the slightest acquaintance with Islam, and is not wholly overpowered and deluded by the justifications of their base ego and the Shaytaan, KNOWS that these things are evil and fahshaa'.
Don't be FOOLED by the inevitable moaning about "respecting the scholars" and the deceitful complaining about "lack of adab," etc. Understand that a fundamental requirement for someone to be considered "scholar" is that they should uphold the most basic concepts of halaal and haraam. This is self-evident. There is no such thing as a person openly committing major sins, heresies, making statements even of kufr, working against Islam- but because he has a degree from some institution or has a certain number of followers and fame, or has a particular position then he is afforded the honor and respect of a "scholar." Rather, the scholars are rightly held to much higher standards than ordinary people when it comes to adhering to the commands of Allah. And a claimant to scholarship that is actually spreading sin and corruption- perverting this deen with which they are entrusted- is the lowest of the low. These charlatan promoters of "American Islam" are worthy of the worst bad names and to be warned against in the strongest terms, because the beloved Messenger of Allah himself, صلى الله عليه وسلم, also did so. He called them the most debased of the creation under the canopy of the sky.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said:
I fear for my ummah about something more than I fear for them about the Dajjal- the people who will be considered "scholars" and will misguide the people.
Towards the end of time, there will be many dajjaals, liars, and deceivers who will bring you such "dialogue" and "exchange of ideas" that neither you nor your fathers before you ever heard of such things. Stay far away from them! Drive them far away from you! Don't allow them to misguide you and don't allow them to put you into a test of your faith!
Allah says in the Qur'aan:
"They took their priests and rabbis as gods in place of Allah"
The beloved Prophet explained, صلى الله عليه وسلم: it doesn't mean they worshiped them, rather those priests used to declare impermissible things permissible and the people would accept what they said.
The question for us is this:
In the face of such clear descriptions and unmistakable warnings and prophecies of exactly what we are seeing before us, will we allow these priests and rabbis of "American Islam" (they are utterly unworthy of honorific titles like "Shaykh" or "Imam" or "Mufti") to propagate and promote their filthy perversions of the deen that our Beloved Messenger, his companions, and all who followed in their path صلى الله عليه وعليهم وسلم, shed their blood, sweat, and tears over more than a millennium to convey safely to us? Will we throw that deen away for the sake of some idiotic celebrity worship and going with the crowd?
Forward this message widely so that it reaches the unsuspecting Muslims that are unaware of the true character of these individuals. Reach out to those who are inviting them to our community and creating this platform of perversion in our midst so that they understand the grave error they are making.
Your brother in Islam,

Well-written.
One American Muslim told me he doesn't like Yasir Qadhi because Yasir Qadhi uses the pronoun "I" too much.
I know he's a PhD engineer, but he refuted Yasir Qadhi with just the simplest of all explanations.
