• If you can comfortably practice Islam in a nation involved in killing Muslims and stifling Islam, then what is missing from your Islam?


• If there is no Islamic state to move to, do we actually expect the first one to have all of the resources of Dubai and the deen of the Sahaba? Aren't we really just complaining because the attempted Islamic states are all poor?


• If Allah promises tests before ease, why wouldn't they all be poor? Why wouldn't hijrah require a dip in living standards


• How many of us are really even ready for an Islamic state if this is what it requires?


• If the Shabaab in Somalia aren't part of the taif al mansourah, is it so because the kaffir media says so, or because of real verified information from people there? (I give them the benefit of all doubts.)


• If our enemies are bad-mouthing them, why are we taking their word for it? What else would they say?


• If they can not afford uniforms yet, why are people believing it every time they're reported to have done something wrong?


• Why is everything they do made out to be wrong if the kuffar governments can't get any better results?


• Why are the Taliban blamed for the opium trade if they eradicated it and the Northern Alliance revived it later under Massa Bush and Uncle Sam?


• Since when have they had anything good to say about the most serious Muslims among us?


• What kind of Muslims have they had anything good to say about in the first place?


• Why do we value compliments from Caucasians more than we value the genuine respect of minority peoples who do not ask us to compromise in our deen?


• Is it part of the sunnah to bobble our heads and praise America?


• Do we have anything more than gulab jamun, baklawa, and zabiha fried chicken to offer to America's good people?


• If we love the disbelievers so much, why do we not love them enough to tell them the truth about democracy, Shariah, jihad, polygamy, and walaa wal baraa? Why do we love them so much and yet hate them enough to lie to them about Islam?


• Why do we hate ourselves enough to lie to ourselves about Islam in the first place?


• Fact; kuffar fear the stereotype of the Muslim and they have too little fear of the flesh-and-blood, apologist Muslims most of us are in real life.


• Why do sports games matter to us so much if they're not benefitting us in any way? Why don't we pay more attention to the athletes' fitness regimens than to their lifestyles off-season?


• Why do so many of us still insist on wishing our Caucasian sisters and brothers in Islam a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, or Happy Easter? What are we trying to tell them?


• How did an "American Islam" come to be the goal and "American Muslims" a separate Ummah?


• Didn't the Muslims in Spain go the same route before they got their behinds royally kicked and tortured by the Catholic monarchy and the Inquisition?


• Didn't this open the way for every problem we've had since the so-called "discovery" of the New World by a lost adventurer?


• In fact, didn't they have another caliphate before they fell!?


• In that case, why do we celebrate Muslim Spain so much and the actual caliphate so little?


• Might it be because it was in Europe and they advanced so far in the dunya?


• Brothers, why our obsession with light-skinned women? Really, is that becoming of a Muslim man who doesn't feel an inferiority complex?


• Sisters, why the obsession with doctors and engineers? Really, is that becoming of a Muslimah who doesn't have an inferiority complex?


• Fact number one about men and women: who ever gets too much attention from the opposite gender too easily and for surface reason is likely to become arrogant with the opposite gender.


• Why else do light-skinned women and doctors/engineers act the way they do?


• Can we ever just sacrifice dunya for the deen and encourage each other for it?


• If not, then can we ever just demand our dunya by force from the kuffar who wrongly took it to begin with?


• Why does that strike so many of us as wrong? Don't police forces confiscate the wealth when they bust drug dealers and use the resources to bust more of them?


• How many of us in the west are really even Muslim anymore?


• How many of us in the east are really even Muslim anymore?

Salam aleikum. "Back at the Crib" is my newest short story for your consumption. In 2028, much of America has lost its war on Islam, and the Mujahidden of the Americas, or MA, has control over its southeast. Though not oppressing the Christian populations, the MA wants to arrest some blasphemers to send a message to the enemies of Islam within its jurisdiction. Mikail Harris already fled the chaos from before the MA and is comfortable among the Muslims in Eastern Jamaica. Then Max calls him back to Mobile to help make arrests of anyone he knows to have insulted Allah or insulted Muhammad in the past. Reluctant as Mikail is, he turns out to take it more seriously than even the authorities for whom he is working. Does he kill the blasphemer who he learns also killed his relatives, or let others handle that for him to ensure impartiality?

The theme is the same as that of the others, a revert/convert returning 'home' to confront something, but this is for a reason. The next one will be of a different theme, insha'Allah.




This is a follow-up to "If this is Islam". Many old and new Muslims alike feel tempted to go to a life of kufr and jahiliyyah. By learning about the downsides and drawbacks to these lifestyles, a Muslim can actually frustrate the Shaytan and then laugh at the Shaytan's attempts to tempt them back into these drawbacks! May this benefit the Muslims.

Many Muslims are reacting to the knowledge of Islam coming out by saying "If this is Islam, I don't want it." They are being hoodwinked, bamboozled, run amuck, led astray, tricked, deceived, had... they're not landing on anything new, but a very old apostasy movement is landing on them!
