❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An Islamic sheikh in Dearborn, Michigan, has called for the Islamification of the United States. 📺 DETAIL: Sheikh Ibrahim Yassine, a scholar at the Islamic Institute of America, a mosque in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, declared that Islam is “coming to America” and that Muslims will “build America” in their image. The remarks were made during a sermon on August 14, during which he praised the growth of Islam in the United States. Yassine claimed that the spread of Islam across the country would promote “reason,” “logic,” and “moral values.” Yassine also criticized President Donald J. Trump, whom he accused of having a “sick mentality” and of being “stupid and crazy.” Yassine has also praised the late Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei as “pious” and “humble” and congratulated current Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on succeeding his father. “I would like to congratulate us and the whole Shiite Islamic nation on the election of Mojtaba Khamenei,” said Yassine. Yassine has also called for the annihilation of Israel, saying, “Allah has promised that this plundering entity will be annihilated, and it must be annihilated, by the efforts of the believers.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “We will build America on the basis of moral civilization and Islam… What they have is no civilization. It is nothing but worldly life, nothing but technology. For them, civilization means killing nations and plundering their resources, even if it means killing all the people.” – Sheikh Ibrahim Yassine 🎯 IMPACT: The remarks have underscored the growing influence of Islam in America. It also shows that prominent religious leaders in the Muslim community in the United States are seeking to politically and culturally transform the country to align with Islam, raising questions about integration. 📺 FLASHBACK: Back in March, it was revealed that Democrat Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed avoided commenting on the assassination of the former Ayatollah to avoid offending Muslims in Dearborn. “There are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on Khamenei at all,” said El-Sayed at the time. The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam first warned about the cultural, demographic, and religious transformation of Dearborn in No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You, in 2017. |
