[@lastword8783]

in the current political paradigm, all religions are right wing because all religions are traditional and the left is generally speaking against tradition because they view progress as challenging tradition. You are right that Islam is neither left nor right but in the West, it will continue to be seen as more right as the left continues to push the culture more to the political left

Very correct. Everyone has an opinion, and going on a spectrum leads one stray from the laid-Law. Muslims in Al Fatiha pray exactly that not among "Maghdoub" nor "Daaleen". Authority belongs to only one Allah SWT only and, therefore, no need for endless legislation. No opining on legislated matters.

If we ever seek honour through anything else, God will humiliate us again.” -Umar ibn Al-Khattab

I was a neo nazi before I embraced Islam and all the furthest right wingers from Hitler, to Evola to Guenon (he became Muslim) to Nietzsche to Bowden said Islamw as the further right and most based "ideology" on the planet. Bowden is the guy who taught richard spencer and was his mentor. He said: "Many of us traditionalists and reactionaries have great respect for Islam, for the same reasons many of us despise Christianity. In many ways Islam is the most right wing belief system in the world, it is a totalizing religion, it tells you how to wipe yourself, how to make love to your wife, how to pray, how to sleep, how to eat, how to fast, it covers everything a human being needs to live. Islam itself is in fact more right wing as it were, than our beliefs. It is a structure a complete structure to live and die within, where the individual is subsumed by the religion and living is for Allah and Dying if for Allah and everything you do is for the one who made you. I might not be a Muslim but ill respect that more than some beige liberal whining about democracy and individual rights. I respect Islam and Muslims more than I infact respect most western white people, I wish my people had that dedication and belief that the thinking person just couldn't maintain in the obviously contradictory cesspit of Christian theology"

@powerbuilder978 Do you have a source for the Jonathan Bowden quote?

[@powerbuilder978]

This is a quote i had in my notes from the "bowden files" a series of conversations with bowden and other far right intellectuals shortly before his death. He was also hosted on gregg johnsons site where they were archived but gregg and some of the other homosexual right wing figures excised the pro islam material and they aren't available in full anymore. Bowden made some of these comments in his famous BNP manchester speech almost verbaitim though which you can find on youtube. Unfortunately his interview on Islam after he studied it before he died isn't online anymore unless someone uploads it. He read some shafi books and whatnot and interesting i found this passage in my notes he cited that id read before i became muslim. He seems to view al qaeda as the most honest manifestation of implementation of what the sahabah actually believed: Chapter One: The Original Ruling Regarding Killing Women and Children of the Kuffar Allah (Most High) commanded, "So slay the mushrikin wherever you find them, take hold of them, encircle them and lay in wait to ambush them on each and every path." 6 Shaykh Yusuf Al-'Uyayri (ra) said, "Indeed the Shari'ah of Islam has sanctified [made forbidden] the blood, wealth, and honor of the Muslims- and it has also prohibited harming them with any type of harm, whether it be directly, or indirectly; Except for a Shaft cause, as the Prophet IJ^d^iaTtt said, "The blood of a Muslim is not permissible except for three reasons- retaliation for a person he killed without any right, the married adulterer, and the one who apostates from his Din." So these are some of the situations in which the blood of the Muslims is permissible. And as for the non-Muslims- the original ruling is not sanctity- rather, it is permissibility. Shedding the blood of the kuffar, seizing their wealth, and removing their honor [by enslavement] - these actions are all Halal [permissible]. And it is not forbidden to spill their blood, seize their wealth, nor remove their honor- nor is it forbidden to harm him; Except for an external (i.e. secondary) matter, such as an 'Ahd [covenant], Thimmah [tribute], or Aman [security, and also Hudnah (a pact of pausing the hostilities for a limited amount of time)]. As for their women and children and elders, and those who are similar to them from amongst those who do not fight- They have protection [Tsmah], due to the texts excluding them from the original ruling Not sure what book he was citing but im sure it could be found through googling the words above. Thats all i know regarding bowden im afraid.@@BloggingTheology

Upon his death his son was in charge and he dismantled the Nation of Islam and lead many if not most of it's members to Sunni Islam.

[@aminaahmad8328]

Brother Jalal has hit the nail on the head. No real Muslim can rise to the top without diluting/adjusting his/her beliefs. For example, in media, any reporter or columnist who dares to criticize Israel is quickly sidelined. Only certain Muslims get invited to the White House for iftaar. Wajahat Ali and Fareed Zakaria are prominent examples but they exist on local levels as well. Just as no leader of a foreign country is “allowed” to continue if he refuses to be a puppet to serve western interests only.

[@davidlivingstone2362]

It's interesting to see how Islam was used by the British and the US in the past. Even in the Middle East, the US used Muslims to achieve their goals. The "right wing" is particularly harmful when it comes into contact with Islam. This type of right wing Islam everyone is seeing seems to be very counter culture and it prides itself on that, not in the ways which matter by emphasising family and virtue but by basing itself solely on opposition to lgbt, women's rights, and opposition to anything "left wing". The Islam in the west has shifted to the right, and so what everyone is witnessing now is the early days of a sort of Christian evangelical version of Islam. This is certainly how it is in Western countries like the UK. Conspiracy theories are rising, support for right wing figures is growing, personalities like Mahdi Tidjani and Andrew Tate are popular among the youth, and there's this fitness culture that has arisen which reminds me of Neo Nazis who have their own training places. It's not about health or mental wellbeing, it's more like training in preparation for an imaginary war. This is all in a neat package of "Salafism" which once appealed to people by emphasising simplicity and correct beliefs free from innovation but has now morphed into counter culture. People like Haqiqatjou are only the beginning. It's going to get a lot worse, especially when the right fully embrace Muslims as allies since the old tactics of Muslims as enemies is running out of steam and they realise that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At first, Muslims were used in foreign nations, but now, there's a growing population that can be used for political support.

[@grnzrn]

It's no surprise. Islam is a fascist ideology after all.

[@ahmedisl8]

I have been saddened by the direction Muslim discourse has been going in the past few years, you put it really well.

[@mentalismification]

Appreciated your opinion. From a high-level perspective, I think that what you described is reactionary. The scales need to balance ⚖️ (it's divine law in my humble opinion). Loose liberalism/left fuels far right v.v. It's a ying and yang, one exists as the flip side of the other. As a result I agree with your conclusion that it will get much worse judging by the current trajectory of society's evolution. And God knows best.

[@GutzOverFear]

The disturbing contrast is something like this. The leftists pretend to respect Muslims to achieve their idea of 'inclusivity' and subsequent cultural Marxism. I mean it's a slick tactic you gotta give em that. Whilst the right typically cannot hide their disdain for Islam or Muslims as a whole. (I mean Trump was like the most cartoonish pantomime villain if I've ever seen one) Typically they will enjoy Islam's staunch opposal to LGTV+ stuff e.t.c but their identity and stubbornness prevents them from actually looking into Islam with an open heart.

I believe that he utter more bad quotes and advices than good ones (he pushes young people to always run after worldly desires like money, women and material possessions with some very shady methodes). He is no more than a charlatan who first created his empire by taking advantage of young girls (his cam girl business) and expand it by tickling men's sexual frustrations to generate profits (he pushes them to register on fraudulent sites, a "university", to scam them). I don't think we should take pride at such individual. His conversion to Islam does not excuse his behavior full of debauchery, which he has never apologized for. We only need the prophet's for guidance no dajjal like figure like Tate who take advantage of the naivety of young men to make profit.

The problem is that "left and right wing" is defined by just the whims of people. People in different parts of the world consider their left and right wings by different measures. The fact that Muslims are just staunchly against the degeneracy currently being pushed by "the left", it makes us "right wing" for disagreeing with them. Only Allah fully knows the straight path. The best we can do is follow our deen as closely as possible.

The concept of Right-wing and Left-Wing are totally Man-made. As Muslims, we shouldn't involve ourselves in either wing, but stand our ground based on Al-Qur'an and Sunnah. Certainly, we have far more conservative values in our faith than liberal values, which would appear too many to assume that we're Right-wing, but we strive to avoid extremes as Al-Qur'an advised us to do. Just as there may be things on the Left that maybe haraam, there may be things on the Right that also maybe haraam.

SAlam aleykum, brothers. Muslims are in a political scientist view speaking, right-winged. We are a community that believes in monarchy, emirate or princedom as forms of government. Being right or left comes from the French Revolution, in which those who supported the Old Order, that is, the monarchy, were called, who were located to the right of the king vs. those who were to the left of the king, that is , those who were in favor of the new secular and liberal order.

" We are a community that believes in monarchy, emirates or princedom" ! No, we are not. Those were the existing forms of governance that existed back in the days. Actually, the first successors of the prophet were chosen by "Bay-aya" which is a sort of voting though not among the whole population. It turned into a monarchy when Moa'aweya took over. In short, there was no specific form of governance. This was up to the people themselves to decide. This can and has evolved with time.

Hi Paul, can you make a video in relation to the opinion that Muhammad (ﷺ) lived to lead the invasion of Palestine while it is written in our sources (hadith) that Umar conquered Palestine?

[@ismailroyer466]

Overall a good discussion. There’s an inaccurate impression repeated here that Muslim orgs endorsed Bush in 2000 because of their supposed moral conservatism. They endorsed him for 2 reasons: his stated opposition to the use of secret evidence in the immigration proceedings against ikhwan activists, and the related willingness of the Bush campaign to talk to Muslim political leaders. Another issue not mentioned in the public explanation for the decision was Gore’s choice of a pro-Israel Jew as vice president. Moral issues had nothing whatsoever to do with this decision and unfortunately have never played any part in any Muslim political endorsements on the national level.

Left wing vs right wing works like a pendulum. The farther the pendulum swings on one side, the same distance it will swing in the opposite direction. The wider the divide between the left and the right becomes, as a result. Islam is neither left nor right.

So for me, as Muslims, were centrists, I mean if we were to place ourselves in the western paradigm. Personally I have never voted as Allah is my master, not some muppet in congress. But in a western paradigm we are left on healthcare and education but right on business and family etc so were centrists.

[@JHS270694]

I agree with being called centrist. Islamic economics align to the left with emphasis on a welfare state whilst keeping in line socially with traditionalist views that people would consider right wing or conservative, as you've already stated. This shouldn't be confused with neoliberalism however which positions itself as centrist, not same thing really. In fact, I don't think it's accurate to put Islam as a faith into a western political paradigm of equivalence in the first place tbh. Although you absolutely can talk about the political stances of Muslims and how Islam can inform and effect individual views. Edit: grammer

This is very concerning. Islam is neither right wing nor left wing. Islam is only about what's right. That can come from either wing.

For Omer Suleiman and Yasir Qadhi it was too late to realise their mistake. It was really shocking Muslim scholars of that caliber supported the LGBTQ rights based on assumption that LGBTQ was marginalized community like Muslims it gave an impression that they endorsed the LGBTQ life style, this created a confusion in American Muslim community. They hold this stance until LGBTQ ideology was introduced in schools and gender transition was promoted specially in Canada and there was a push back from Muslim community in America on their stance then Omer Suleiman and Yasir Qadhi were forced to change their stance and came out and apologized. There was a video made during 2020 election where Yasir Qadhi was indirectly asking Muslims to vote against Trump which means support liberals. The only thing which Muslims need to do is to stay away from 2024 elections. They should follow sunnah of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and focus on two things that how to get free from slavery of riba based economical system , pharmaceutical companies and big tech companies. They should stand up against the World Economic Forum whose agenda is New World Order and Great Reset. Until and unless Muslims work for just economical system the oppression will not end

[@CLBOO6]

Not too late. They're not dead yet. The door of repentance is wide open still. A muslim always believe in second chance and rectifying mistakes. Don't fall into CANCEL CULTURE please. We Muslims don't do CANCEL CULTURE like the non-Muslim western people and we don't keep bringing up past mistakes again and again especially after they apologized and WHAT'S WRONG with apologizing? And I'm glad they did and trying to do better. For us Muslims, we judge from what is apparent because we can't see through their heart. The right thing to do for all of us is to ask for sincere repentance for ourselves and for the entire Muslim ummah, no exceptions.

[@uzmaali2304]

@@CLBOO6 No one is judging their heart and about cancel culture they also need to stay away from it and don't try to cancel people for the matter which involves money

[@imranqqq7307]

@@CLBOO6 By "too late" the sister (probably) means to save their reputations among we American Muslims, not for repentance to Allah. They are a large reason why we ended up in this mess and state of confusion. Very bad social and political advice from our so-called leaders. May Allah forgive them, but they really need to take a substantial break before trying to lead the Muslim community socially or politically. Focus on what you're good at, reminding Muslims about the Akhira and the Sahaba, etc. Leave the rest to more qualified experts and leaders.

not right , left or middle, its STRAIGHT , sometime when the right go too much right ,or left go too much left ,you would think that the straight path closer to the right or closer to the left, but we shouldn't care about other lines or curves.

I live in the U.S., specifically in Long Island, the eastern suburbs of NYC. I neither like the Zionist warmongering imperialism of the right wing nor do I appreciate the cultural Marxism of the left wing. I am a right-wing libertarian (but I'd gladly welcome the restoration of the khilafat rashidah). The Ottomans were not rashidi, but how sad. March 3rd, 2024 (less than five months from today) will mark one century (in miladi years anyway) that we lost the khilafat because of the Kemalist puppet scum. I used to be a Ron Paul Republican and this was back in 2008, when in college, I explored different socioeconomic and political ideologies. For a few months this year, I was registered as a Democrat for RFK Jr., but I am now officially an independent when he considered running as a third-party candidate. I have serious issues with RFK's position, however, on Palestine. It's not like he really has a chance anyway. Maybe we should try to repeat what Hamtramck, Michigan did, so that we can build stronger Muslim communities. Assalam Alaykum, my dear Muslim brothers and sisters.

Both left and right are two cheeks of the same backside. One is on speed limit adding more speed here and there i.e. right wing and other of the chart which is left wing but both affirm and work on the same umbrella. Those Muslimswho lean on either side like comprehension and are naive.

[@bewareofdjinn1607]

Hamas uses the term "river to the sea." This is called antisemitic even though its origins are well before Hamas ever used it. And it has always meant a peaceful One State Solution. Nazis used the word "socialist" the same way Hamas uses "river to sea." The "socialism" in Nazism is anti-socialist. Mein Kampf is basically a life story on why Germany should destroy the Godless Soviet Union filled with Jews. Hitler used the antisemitism that existed to further his goal of destroying communism. His singular focus on the USSR is the reason why he got caught in a two front war. Hitler had a recent treaty with the USSR but still couldn't help himself and launched the invasion that doomed his empire. If you look at the policies of the Nazis, the socialism claim doesn't hold much weight either. In order to gain power, Hitler gave away large government assets and services to private industry--in order to appease the ruling elite. The reason why people say it was "socialism" is because it was a planned economy with a populist rhetoric. Feudalism is a planned economy, is that socialist? This is far too common. People confuse populism with socialism. People see planned economies and think Commie China. It is so lame to do the work of the CIA from 50 years ago. Good job! I am sure the corpses rotting in hell are really proud that you repeated their version of the story 50 years later.

[@bewareofdjinn1607]

Calling Nazis in any way socialist is a political slur against socialist. It is like calling a Jewish peace activist an antisemitic because they use the term, "river to the sea." It is deeply offensive on a core ideological level. Fighting words, basically.
