Stanford student Minha Khan has a bright future ahead of her in the Islamic victimhood propaganda industry. Her piece here wringing her hands and claiming victim status over my scheduled appearance at Stanford next week is a masterpiece of self-dramatization, featuring outlandish claims that would have moved me to laughter were it not, hang it all, for the pathos of this poor girl’s plight. I shed a few tears in solidarity with her, while giggling behind my hat.
How did it come to this, that someone who simply opposes jihad terror and supports equality of rights for all people is treated as the second coming of Jack the Ripper? Get the full story in my book Confessions of an Islamophobe, which you can preorder here. Find out why Minha Khan is so frightened of me, or claims to be, and who she really ought to be frightened of. Get the book now.
Then after you’ve ordered the book, come back and read Minha’s sad tale, with my comments interspersed.
“‘I Will Never Belong to the Stanford Community,'” by Minha Khan, Stanford Review, November 8, 2017:
Before leaving Pakistan, my grandparents told me to be careful at Stanford. I laughed it off and told them that things had changed- being Muslim on campus was not such a big deal anymore. I told them there was no need to be afraid. I wasn’t going to live in fear.
“Before leaving Pakistan, my grandparents told me to be careful at Stanford.” I would have laughed, too. You see, Stanford University is apparently a toxic environment of “Islamophobia,” while Pakistan is free and clear and safe. That’s why so many Muslims from the U.S. are clamoring to get in to Pakistan, you see. And Stanford is “Islamophobic”? There are three new articles today, this one and two in the Stanford Daily, denouncing me. One would think that if Stanford were really “Islamophobic,” the campus wouldn’t be in such an uproar over the appearance of an accused “Islamophobe.”
But when the first thing I saw while walking downstairs to get breakfast was the flyer for Robert Spencer’s talk “Jihad and Radical Islam,” I was afraid. I didn’t know what this meant for me, a Pakistani Muslim girl who covers her head.
Why, Minha, it doesn’t mean much of anything. You’re welcome to come, if the event happens, but I doubt you will. If you did, you could ask me some pointed question, and I would do my best to answer it. You could do your best to show me up as the Satanic ignoramus you think I am. But is anyone going to bother you? Of course not. And in the highly unlikely event that someone does, that would be absolutely contemptible, but would it be because I spoke about the jihad terror threat? Why would it? You oppose jihad terror, don’t you?
Robert Spencer is a self-proclaimed expert on “Radical Islam” who co-founded “Stop Islamization of America.”
This “self-proclaimed expert” business is funny. Nor do I ever use the term “Radical Islam.” I defy anyone to quote me actually saying “I’m an expert on Radical Islam.” My work stands or falls on the basis of the evidence I present, not any claim of expertise on my part. I don’t believe one should take anyone’s word uncritically for anything. The only time I see myself being called a “self-proclaimed expert” is by those who claim I am no expert. Very well. Let them refute me on the facts. But that is the one thing they have never managed to do.
He has often been criticized for causing a divide between the West and Islam, and is known to promote a conspiratorial anti-Muslim agenda.
It is not I who have caused a divide between the West and Islam, although I thank Minha Khan for giving me so much credit. In reality, if anyone in the West is suspicious of Islam, it isn’t because of Robert Spencer, but because of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Mohamed Atta, Nidal Malik Hasan, Syed Rizwan Farook, Tashfeen Malik, and all the other Islamic jihadis. But to discuss them is immediately to become “Islamophobic.” So where are we?
In short, he’s not my biggest fan.
I’m terribly sorry to break it to you, Minha, but I never actually heard of you before I read this article. I actually have no opinion of you one way or the other. In fact, if time permits, I’d be glad to sit down with you for a cup of coffee, and we could talk all this over. But I doubt you would be willing to do that.
I talked to other people in my dorm regarding their opinion on the decision to bring Spencer to campus. Many thought it was okay, a simple exercise of the the right to free speech.
But when do we draw the line between free speech and hate speech?
There is actually no such line anywhere. “Hate speech” is not a concept in American law — at least not yet. “Hate speech” is subjectively determined: one person’s “hate speech” is another person’s enunciation of unpopular truths. If the government ever did outlaw “hate speech,” the person tasked with determining what it is would have so much power over the public discourse that the very freedom of society would be threatened, because he or she could classify as “hate speech” and outlaw whole swaths of opinion that simply dissented from the line of the people in power. The antidote to bad speech is more speech. If Minha Khan opposes what I say, she should show it to be false. No one at Stanford has even attempted to do that.
When does it become acceptable for a guest to this campus to tell my fellow students that Islam is radical and hate-driven?
Good question, Minha. Here are some quotes that may interest you (thanks to Jihad Watch reader Mortimer for them). The UK-based imam Anjem Choudary once said: “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam.” Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624) said: “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.” Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said: “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” Ibn Taymiyya, in his “Book of Emaan,” says that “true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers.” Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, in his “Belief in Allah,” says: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” And in chapter four of “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib, Muslims are exhorted “to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger.”
There are many other examples of this kind of teaching from Muslim clerics and scholars. No doubt you have a vastly different view of Islam, and that is good. But these teachings exist. Is it “hateful” to notice? Would you prefer I just looked the other way and pretended such things were not taught? Wouldn’t it be better to call attention to them and call on the Muslim community to renounce and teach against such ideas? You would support such an initiative, wouldn’t you?
When does it become okay for someone to tell those that I live with that we need to get Islam out of America?
Seeing as how I have never said such a thing, I’m not sure.
When many Western media outlets are already spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric,
Really? Which ones? Where? When? All I see them doing is bending over backwards after every jihad massacre to whitewash its motive and portray Muslims as victims. Can you please send me some links to this “anti-Muslim rhetoric” from “Western media outlets,” Minha? I’m at director@jihadwatch.org.
my tuition fees paying for a man to speak against my very existence in this country feels like the final knife in the heart.
Minha, can you please quote me saying that you or Muslims in general should not exist in this country?
I worked hard to get into Stanford and my father worked even harder to afford it…for what? To come here and see that I am not wanted?
I’ve put up with the microaggressions I’ve faced on a daily basis — jokingly being called a terrorist or a member of the Taliban because of my hijab. I’ve ignored them and sometimes confronted them. But an organized, university-sponsored event is difficult for me to ignore or fight back against. It’s a whole new battlefield; and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
How about attend, consider the facts I present, and formulate a rational response? Maybe that is too much to ask of college students these days.
A friend suggested tearing down all the flyers. I don’t feel like that is the answer.
Good, Minha. Reject fascism.
Is it my right to tear down the posters someone else put up?
No.
Am I allowed to take down a poster that feels like an attack against my identity?
No. Whatever the poster “feels like,” others have the freedom of speech as much as you do.
Am I allowed to feel hurt?
Sure. Why not? But it’s silly. You oppose jihad terror, I am sure. So do I. So what’s the big deal about my coming? I’ll tell you: for years now, there has been a concerted effort to defame and destroy all those who oppose jihad terror. Now you’re joining in that effort.
Or do I just ignore it in the name of free speech?
Now you’re catching on.
I considered attending the event. I want to know what he has to say. I want to hear him tell me Islam is evil and radical. I want to hear him tell me that the religion that has only taught me to be loving and kind is the religion of hate. I want to hear him tell me that “Jihad” means “Holy War,” when it actually means “to struggle.”
Oops. If you had done a bit of research, Minha, you might have found this, which I wrote, and which has only been at the Jihad Watch site since you were about five years old. In the second paragraph, it says: “Jihad (Arabic for “struggle”).” I know research is not something college students are accustomed to doing these days, but still, I am a bit embarrassed for you.
My jihad, my struggle, is not killing people. My jihad is holding my head up high when there are people who believe that I shouldn’t be allowed in the country.
How grand. Now what are you doing to counter those Muslims who believe that their jihad is killing people? Or is all your energy devoted to opposing people who oppose them?
But I am not welcome at the event.
Why, of course you are. I hope to see you there. If I remember to do it, I will ask for you from the podium, and invite you to ask questions.
I would be afraid to join a crowd where people believe that Islam should be eradicated from America. Beliefs translate into actions, like the travel ban, against Muslims like me, my family, and the 3.35 million Muslims that live in the US.
I’m not asking for the event to be shut down. I’m not asking for reassurance that I am wanted at Stanford. I don’t need anyone to tell me that I belong in America. But I do want everyone to know that this event has reminded me that no matter how hard I try, I can never fully belong to the Stanford community. There will always be someone who believes that I don’t deserve to be here because of my religion. My Muslim identity was always my strength, but today, it feels like my weakness.
Your mastery of the victimhood narrative is admirable, but this is all just fiction and fantasy, Minha. You are not in danger at Stanford, and will not be after I speak, if the event goes on. If it does, however, I will be there with a security team. That ought to tell you something about who is really doing the threatening and who is really threatened, but it probably won’t.
jihad3tracker says
THE STANFORD STUDENTS WHO CREATE THIS CARNIVAL OF ABSURDITY ARE TOO DUMB TO REALIZE THEY ARE MAKING ROBERT 100 TIMES MORE PROMINENT THAN HE ALREADY WAS.
mortimer says
Agree. This is free publicity. I hope some of them will start to view Jihad Watch. Many minds may change.
Students should be encouraged to read the Sira and selections of the hadiths in which the warlord character of Mohammed and his misogyny are documented from Islamic primary sources.
Ironically, the Stanford Graduate School of Business has on its website the following quote:
“Negative publicity can increase sales when a product or company is relatively unknown simply because it stimulates product awareness.”
Hopefully, some students will get Robert Spencer’s books and look for quotes they can use against him, only to find there AREN’T ANY!
jihad3tracker says
HELLO AGAIN MORTIMER — In a recent post about this special- snowflake blizzard, Robert cited one (or more) of your zillions of superb comments here on JW.
BTW, let me again mention an especially relevant video by the “superlatively brilliant” — Robert’s words — Dr. David Wood:
“Three Questions for Moderate Muslims” — easily found on YouTube. If by some miraculous act of courage, Stanford students actually read this, please watch that video, AND TRY TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY THOSE 3 QUESTIONS.
gravenimage says
Very true, jihad3tracker. I hope this leads some Stanford students and others in the community to seek out Robert Spencer’s work–even if initially they just think that they will be able to refute everything he says–so that they learn the truth.
mgoldberg says
“Before leaving Pakistan, my grandparents told me to be careful at Stanford.” I would have laughed, too. You see, Stanford University is apparently a toxic environment of “Islamophobia,” while Pakistan is free and clear and safe.”
And of course, the homiciding of non muslims by other muslims for their beliefs, for their ‘indiscretions’
showing purported discourtesy to their koran, or to muslims has frequently resulted in horrendous mutilations, murders and criminalization of non muslims. Toxic environment describes what non muslims go thru in Pakistan and virtually all muslim lands. What a pile of nonsense to describe a toxic environment to the collegial town where Stanford is and to pretend the homicidism against non muslims
in Pakistan doesn’t exist. She is of course purely lying. And Robert should remind her of this at that lecture, and ask what kind of religious practice is she following having been shown the numbers of people not merely unfairly treated in Pakistan but the horrendous bigotry against non muslims there.
mortimer says
Too true, Goldberg! Most Muslims love the freedom they find in America. In America, they find unbelievable freedom either to practice Islam the way they cannot do in Pakistan or to not practice it if they don’t feel like it.
What this woman is doing is simply called INTOLERANCE, which means…
‘FREE SPEECH FOR ME, BUT NOT FOR THEE, IF I DISLIKE WHAT YOU SAY.’
She is looking for an excuse for imposing Sharia blasphemy censorship.
The US has NO ESTABLISHED RELIGION, so therefore, judges cannot define what is ‘BLASPHEMY’ since over 4,000 religions disagree on the definition of ‘blasphemy’.
haller says
There IS only one religion: Islam. All other so called religions have been abrogated since The Prophet touched down 1400 years ago. Therefore debate about blasphemy and it’s meaning has already been established.
I am sure that the Organisation of Islamic Co operation is there to help clarify this. They have been working to establish global criminalization of Blasphemy of Islam since 2005. So what is Blasphemy of Islam? Anything that Islam deems it to be. No Kuffr opinions are allowed. Is this making sense yet?
humbleman says
She is just full of crap to get sympathy, and that is how it usually works here in US. As someone who have lived 30 yrs in so called moderate muslim country as minority, her so called fear is nothing compare to what I have personally experienced. For example, have she seen any mosque being burned here in US? I have seen and heard countless churches being burned down before my own eyes.
That is fear, and it is a real fear, not just some made up words.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“I have seen and heard countless churches being burned down before my own eyes.”
Humbleman, excuse me but I disbelieve you. Hyperbole like this is self-discrediting. I doubt that you have stood watching more than a dozen churches being burned down while the fire audibly crackles. A list of dates and locations would help your credibility.
humbleman says
Sure Mark, try Jakarta Indonesia, May 1998. There are lots of even priors that did not even make it to the news because of the regime at the time.
Just a few months ago, the ex governor was JAILED just for quoting Surah 5:51, under so called blasphemy law, a law that can put anybody to jail, due to the very vague definition of blasphemy. It is normal in such muslim countries and other dictators.
Try to read the history of Muhammad and the Quran yourself. Even liberal atheist Sam Harris and Bill Maher warn the US about the ideology of Islam. Many on the left seems to give a lot of pass to islam. CNN is the champion, cuz look, who do they hire? Again, I am pointing the ideology being hold, non the muslim. A true muslim will always support sharia, such as Linda Sarsour. She live in US yet she applauded Saudi Sharia Law. Scary, for the future of the next generations if you ask me. Many are not seeing it. I am not worry about the current generations, but destruction of a country takes time, and that is what is happening in our society.
You may want to watch this:

gravenimage says
humbleman is right, Mark.
Here are the most salient attacks:
“24 December 2000 — on Christmas Eve 2000, a series of explosions took place in Indonesia, which were part of a high-scale terrorist attack by Al Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah. The attack involved a series of coordinated bombings of churches in Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Medan, Bandung, Batam Island, Mojokerto, Mataram, and Sukabumi which killed 18 people and injured many others”
Even it there was only one bombing in each region, this amounts to *eight* Churches. Humbleman may not have been physically present for each attack, but this was covered widely on Indonesian television.
Here’s another, more recent Church bombing:
“25 September 2011 — a suicide bomb exploded in Full Gospel Bethel Church in Kepunton, Solo, Central Java. The blast killed the bomber and injured 14 people.”
And here is a small list of attacks on other religious sites in Indonesia, including Mosques that are other sect or considered “insufficiently Islamic”:
“11 November 1976 — bomb attack in Nurul Iman mosque, Padang. The suspect was Timzar Zubil the leader of Komando Jihad according to government.
14 April 1978 — TNT attack in Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, Jakarta.
21 January 1985 — bomb attack on Borobudur Buddhist temple, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia…Husein Ali Al Habsyie, a blind Muslim preacher, was sentenced to life imprisonment for masterminding the temple attack.
19 April 1999 — a bomb exploded in Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta. Eddy Ranto alias Umar was accused as the suspect along with robbery in Bank BCA Taman Sari, Jakarta and a bombing in Hayam Wuruk, Jakarta, weeks earlier.
15 April 2011 — a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in a mosque in a police compound in the city of Cirebon, in West Java, during Friday prayer. The bomber was killed and at least 28 people were injured.”
I’m sure there are many more–being an American I am not able to follow the news in Indonesia as closely as I would like.
Infidel Task Force says
This is a great commentary. The muslima cries and gives excuses, Robert Spencer shuts her up.

Robert Spencer is not shutting her up–he is using his own freedom of speech to counter her dishonest claptrap.
John S. Obeda says
It was a wonderful letter that he wrote to her, tender, like a father to a wayward daughter. I wonder what the chances are that she would get hold of this letter and even take it to heart… . . . Let us pray that God will bless Mr. Spencer with a clear, logical, mind to convince the gainsayers. Of course, as was in the life of Jesus, some refuse to be convinced. God protect Mr. Spencer and all the other warriors for the truth.

DogOnPorch says
Good article. I hope she comes to hear Robert speak.
Angus says
There’s a pretty high probability that the event will be cancelled unfortunately – muslim apologists have become quite good at making that happen.
If the event does go on as scheduled there’s ZERO chance she will attend.
Custos Custodum says
QUOTE: If the event does go on as scheduled there’s ZERO chance she will attend.
Quite likely, Minha will wimp out. Her ghostwriter at the Muslim Student Association is already working on a follow-up piece about how Minha really wanted to attend to challenge the evil kafir, but was dissuaded by good friends concerned about her physical and mental well-being.
Unfortunately, Minha can no longer go back to Pakistan where any prospective husband would now be aware of her mouthy disposition. Look for Minha to choose a career as professional Muslim drama queen, the Linda Sarsour of the West Coast.
Custos Custodum says
On second thoughts, building up a reputation as a stealth jihadi is a great way to justify NOT RETURNING TO PAKISTAN.
Emilie Green says
“Now what are you [Minha] doing to counter those Muslims who believe that their jihad is killing people [based on EXPRESS provisions in Islam’s holy books following the VERY example of Mohammad himself]?”

Absolutely nothing, of course, Emilie.
Krazy Kafir says
I have come to learn, the most dangerous Muslims to the west are the so called moderates who just can’t stop lying about what is written in the Qur’an, and it’s true meaning. It seems their goal is to clear the path for the mujahedeen.
Custos Custodum says
“Extremist Muslims want to kill infidels. Moderate Muslims want the Extremists to kill infidels.”
John W says
I’m a bit torn as to what to say because I have to admit that she is sort of right that I don’t want her and more muslims coming to this country. I only see bad things on the horizon if that happens. So I would be telling a lie if I said I welcome her here. They are already becoming a large presence here in Northern Virginia.
She is probably telling the truth about being a nice peaceful muslim, but I personally don’t want to see more muslims, more mosques, more hijabs, etc. filling this country. We all know the long term goal of Islam and unfortunately Minha is likely just a useful idiot for the cause.
Krazy Kafir says
But what good are the peaceful Muslims if they, deny, or lie, about what is written in the Qur’an, or Muhammad’s example? Blowing smoke for those who.. do… take heed of these teachings doesn’t seem peaceful at all. It seems like deception.
gravenimage says
John W wrote:
She is probably telling the truth about being a nice peaceful muslim…
……………………
Actually, John, if you reread her comments, you will see that she never once affirms that she is a nice peaceful Muslim–she just wants you come away with that general impression. This is, in fact, quite common with Muslim apologists.
John S. Obeda says
John W. I feel exactly as you do and that makes me here in Canada an “enemy” of the government. Recently the government has passed the resolution M103 and a committee is studying now how to make a law so that were I caught speaking against Islam, I’ll be in trouble. . . . Remember that Robert Spencer said that when a nice young Muslim grows up and if Islam has the power where would the loyalty of the nice Muslim be at that time? This is not a quote, of course, but the thought is there. God help us.
mortimer says
Minha Khan is merely a DRAMA QUEEN.
She makes dramatic claims that she fails to support with any quotes, references or logic. The claims remain simply claims and not complete arguments.
She should ask her teachers how to formulate a valid ARGUMENT. She should learn that because SHE IS NOW AT UNIVERSITY.
On average, there are now over 2,000 deadly jihad attacks every year in Pakistan alone.
Terrorist attacks staged in Pakistan have killed over 35,000 people, 5,000 of which are law enforcement personnel, and caused material damage to the Pakistani economy totalling US$67 billion.
Does Khan think she would safer in Pakistan?
gravenimage says
Thanks for pointing out the number of Jihad terror attacks in Pakistan itself.
Linde Barrera says
A shout out to all my fellow Jihad Watch readers and commenters about this young lady’s concerns, particularly to mortimer and John W, with whom I am in 100% agreement. I really do not hate any Muslims but I do hate their evil ideology-Islam. And I also believe Allah=Satan. ?
Bodega says
I usually respect Stanford’s various decisions concerning speakers. I was proud of them for taking an unpopular stance about Spencer’s talk. I hope they read this poor, pitiful woman’s comments and determine she needs a bit for information about our Constitution, Bill of Rights and various and sundry laws allowing people to come and go freely, speak freely and write freely.
What an ignorant scholar. I wonder who put her up to this? Does she know how “used” she is to promote another agenda? I would really like to know the answer to this question.
After reading the Qur’an, and various other books, the news from India and Pakistan and SE Asia, I DO NOT want more Muslim in the USA. Those that are here should be required to sign a pledge of allegiance to the USA and agree to be deported back to country of origin if found doing treasonous acts of sedition.
Derry says
Wonderful reply, Robert. I admire your courage.
Dum Spiro says
Minha, I invite you to read this, since I have respectfully composed it for you.
I hope Robert’s speech is held as scheduled — in an open, peaceful, and dare I say, welcoming — environment, and that you do attend and ask him questions during the Q&A session after his presentation.
Remember that minds are like parachutes — they work best when open. Consider, just consider, that Robert may well be like juror #8 in the play Twelve Angry Men. (http://www.gradesaver.com/12-angry-men/study-guide/summary) Be open to the idea that one person who is vilified and opposed by a crowd may be the one person who is correct, with the pertinent facts to corroborate his position. I ask you to only be openminded and without prejudice. Think of the Golden Rule to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and try that sincerely with Robert, who, as you will find, does indeed do so himself.
Finally, ponder this: Several different brands of computers, tablets and smartphones may be on the same network. Ideally they could all work together, but what if some of the devices are unpatched and harbor demonstrable malware or unwanted malicious viruses and/or worms that could spread to other unpatched network devices? Who would oppose a network administrator’s actions to point out and remove the erroneous code that would result in each affected device’s ability to then become all it could be in a harmonious safe network of continuously respectful electronic diversity?
Thank you for reading all this, Minha…

Excellent analogy!
Jack Diamond says
“I want to hear him tell me that the religion that has only taught me to be loving and kind is the religion of hate. I want to hear him tell me that “Jihad” means “Holy War,” when it actually means “to struggle.”
Of course, the religion only tells you to be loving and kind to other believers and it clearly tells you to have hate and enmity for disbelievers, but maybe you missed those parts.
As to jihad, the only definitions we have come from Muslim sources, they are the invention of enemies of Islam. Clearly, a religious war fought” in the cause of allah” meets the definition of a “holy war”. Muslims like to argue those exact words– “holy war”–do not appear in the Qur’an, therefore jihad is not holy war and this a calumny upon Islam by hateful Islamophobes.
For the benefit of Ms. Khan, permit this micro aggression, from her better educated co-religionists:
“”Holy War, as it is known in Islamic Jurisprudence, is basically an offensive war. This is the duty of Muslims in every age when the needed military power becomes available to them…thus the Apostle of God said ‘I was commanded to fight the people until they believe in God and his message.”
–“Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography”, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti (page 134, 7th edition).
Oh my. Holy War. On p.323-324 Dr. Muhammad al-Buti writes:
“The verse 9:5 does not leave any room in the mind to conjecture about what is called defensive war. This verse asserts that Holy War which is demanded in Islamic law, is not defensive war because it could legitimately be called an offensive war. This is the apex and most honorable of all Holy Wars.”
Of course this might be some renegade Islamic scholar in the pay of Zionists to discredit Islam, but…
“Islam has approved war so that the word of God becomes supreme…this is war for the cause of God (Holy War). Muhammad therefore, sent his ambassadors to eight kings and princes in the neighborhood of the Arab peninsula to call them to embrace Islam. They rejected his call. Thus, it became incumbent on the Muslims to fight them”–
Dr. Afifi Abdul-Fattah (“The Spirit of Islamic Religion” p 382)
Uh-oh. Holy War again mixed up with jihad “struggle” by an Islamic scholar.
“Jihad… is etymologically derived from the word ‘mujahada’ signifying warfare to establish the religion…the duty of Jihad exists as long as the universal domination of Islam has not been attained ‘until the end of the world’.”
“So at first the fighting was prohibited then it was permitted and after that it was made obligatory …Allah revealed in Surah 9 the order to discard all obligations (treaties) and commanded the Muslims to fight against all the pagans well as the People of the Book if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued’ ”
–Dr. M. Mushinkhan, Medina Islamic University introduction to Sahih Bukhari.
Wait, Ms. Khan, I thought all those commands to fight were merely historical and about self defense and have nothing to do with the present time? These guys seem to think like Robert Spencer!
“Reliance of the Traveler”, the Sunni legal manual endorsed by Al-Azhar University, states Jihad is “a communal obligation” to make “war against non Muslims. The Caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians…until they become Muslims or else pay the non Muslim poll tax…the Caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim” (and if there is no caliph, jihad must still be carried out).
I feel a little threatened by all this radical and hate driven stuff. Don’t you?
You know what feels like a knife in the heart? “Kill {qital} the unbelievers”. It’s in your Qur’an.
I hate to run this into the ground but here’s another Islamic scholar calling jihad “Holy War”:
‘The Book of the Islamic State’ (1953) by al-Nabhani:
“The foreign policy of the Islamic state must be to carry the Islamic mission to the world by way of Holy War. This process has been established through the course of the ages…this process has never been changed at all. The Apostle Muhammad from the time he founded the State in the city of Yahtrib, prepared an army and began holy war to remove the physical barriers which hinder the spread of Islam.” (p.112)
“By holy war, kingdoms and states were removed and Islam ruled the nations & peoples. The glorious Qur’an has revealed to Muslims the reasons for fighting, to carry the message of Islam to the entire world…”
Please feel free to explain the loving kindness behind these teachings.
Finally, the reason you can never fully belong to the Stanford community is because your religion forbids it. The non-Muslims aren’t keeping you from it, Muhammad is.
“You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they be their fathers, sons, brothers of kindred.” Q 58:22
“Muhammad is God’s Apostle, those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.” Q 48:29
“Let not believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them.” Q 3:28
“Take not the Jews or Christians for friends or allies, they are friends to one another. He who takes them for friends is one of them (i.e. an apostate).” Q 5:51
Or have you not come across these directives before? Shall we discuss the real meaning and significance of the hijab you wear as another answer to that question?
As to what you are “suffering” I have two words–Asia Bibi.
Jack Diamond says

This is summarized in the Arabic phrase “Al wala’ wal bara’ ” (الولاء والبراء), i.e. “loyalty (to Muslims) and disavowal (of any human relations with kafirs).”

Fine post, Jack.
TheBuffster says
Wow, Jack! That was a magnificent, truth-packed presentation. Super-strong and grounded in the facts. I was mentally applauding the whole time I was reading.
I wonder about leftists says
May be Mortimer or Graven can tell me this?
I picked this phrase up somewhere, but can’t remember where, buit wrote it down, but it comes out right for this girl.
Atamaskan hatta Atamahe= which is supposed to mean:
“I must look and show poverty and misery, until I become powerfull.”.
Is this Arabic and from the Qua’ an ?
but as for the girl, if you can’t stay in Stanford, why don’t you go home silently and don’t brag about your victimhood?
Plus the USA gave you possibility to study and live, but if you have to go, Go !!!.
Jack Diamond says
She is pushing Islam and the Islamic understanding of tolerable speech. She is a stealth jihadist, in other words. Whether or not she is self-aware, she is the embodiment of it. She won’t “go home silently.” We are to conform to her, not the other way around.
There is an Arabic saying that defines Muslims, “He hit me and then HE cried. Then he ran to the police.”

…………………………
I know the reference, I wonder about leftists–I just have been unable to find the exact phrase. I know it has been discussed here at Jihad Watch before. It is “Tamsen…something” I think. I know it is used as a saying in Arabic, but don’t know where it was first used.
Sorry–I know you have asked about this before. I knew I should have made note of it at the time.
If any other, more knowledgeable posters see this, I hope you will share your knowledge.
In the mean time, I will keep looking.
gravenimage says
I wonder about leftists, thanks to Jihad Watch poster Flavius Claudius Iulianus, here is the phrase you are looking for:
Tamaskan tatamakan – “show a victim’s face [and] take over”.
I’m going to write that down for future reference.
Here’s more about the phrase, from the erudite Dr. Mark Durie:
“Just to give you an example, there’s a phrase in Arabic, ‘tamaskan tatamakan’ = Show a victim’s face, and you will take over”. Do you understand what that means? Act the victim, and then after a while, you’ll take over the other person. So we are interacting. I pretend that I’m in a bad situation and I’m suffering. You have pity on me and when the money comes, I destroy you. Ok? That’s part of Arab culture. It’s an Arab phrase. It has a number of different variants. It’s well known in Arabic. It’s just what you learn when you learn Arabic. I an explain how that’s based in Islam. That’s what Muhammad did and it’s part of Islamic theology. It’s very well grounded. It has complex theological background to it. But you don’t have to study Islam to be shaped by ideas, just learn to speak Arabic. It’s impossible to translate that easily into English. It’s not an English concept. It’s almost repugnant to us that it is part of Arabic culture because the religion has colonized the culture and has determined the shape of the culture.”
Deeply disturbing concept–but one we see in action from Muslims all around us, including Minha Khan here.
TheBuffster says
We see the same damned thing has been growing in our own present-day culture on the left – something that I would not call a part of traditional, anti-self-pity, benevolent, individualist, self-responsibility culture that made the USA into a free, creative, productive and prosperous country. The victim culture that’s been growing over the past decades *is* the means by which people who embrace their victimhood play upon the compassion and/or guilt feelings (earned or not) of those that they want to scam or rule.
Muhammad/Islam understood this principle, this tactic of conquest. But it’s discoverable and usable by any tyrant who want to get the upper hand and turn other people into their victims, their serfs and slaves.
I do think that a lot of young people do not see this tactic for what it is. They’re naive dupes who think they’re supporting real victims. It’s easy to be duped when your conquerors have managed to gain influence in your educational institutions and have done a good job of disabling their students’ critical faculty.

“..being Muslim on campus was not such a big deal anymore”, I am entitled for EVERYTHING without any work or effort!
JW_Reader says
Minha Khan : Have you read Satanic Verses? This book was published before you were born. It was written by another Muslim, born in the same area as you are to a devout Muslim family. The book was awarded Booker prize but ask your grand parent about the book. Good chance, they participated in the violent riot, that followed the publication of the book, throughout Pakistan. Fast forward some thirty years! and you probably read what happened to Malala for going to school. So, your grandparents are not afraid of you being in a country where people are routinely beaten to death for voicing their opinion. But, they are afraid of you being in Stanford. That is really funny. I suggest you read this book, before you open your mouth from underneath that ugly hijab!
Custos Custodum says
QUOTE: Minha Khan : Have you read Satanic Verses?
More interesting question: Have you, Minha, read the “Satanic Verses” in the Holy Qur’an (TM)?
Very embarrassing slip-up by old Mo when he ordered yet another “revelation” to be written for him.
Stan Lee says
Minha Khan:
The U.S. Constitution is available for reference in the Stanford U. library, and probably in a few dozen other places on campus. You need to read it in order to understand freedom of speech in the United States. And, Stanford U. is part of the United States, you may have noticed that the red, white, and blue Stars and Stripes flag flies over the campus.
Mr. Spencer as a speaker visiting Stanford U. does so at the request of Stanford U. students and the university who believe in freedom of speech.
If not agreeable to you, you need not attend his speech. The laws of the United States apply throughout the territory of the United States, even if they do not meet your approval. There are schools in your homeland which may suit your beliefs with less disapproval on your part., and if you feel you don’t belong (and cannot tolerate the rights of others), then don’t “belong”.
Custos Custodum says
Do you know if Stanford University library has an audio version that Minha can listen to?
The written version may a bit taxing for her.
To be safe, she should probably use a bowdlerized version with the “triggering” parts taken out.
Without the “triggering” passages safely excised, the document will be a lot shorter.
WorkingClassPost says
I can’t help wondering why muslims are so sensitive to any criticism or negative observations about islam.
It’s impossible not to consider that such fears as they universally seem to experience, is caused by their intimate knowledge of the toxic hatred for other peoples and religion’s that islamism promotes, so they naturally assume that non-muslim societies behave in the self-same way.
This sort of projection is not uncommon in individuals, but such institutionalised reaction much be a conditioned response.
DJ says
Islam is absolutely petrified of open examination and discussion because their system is so fragile. It will fall apart upon critical examination.
Sarah says
You know, I had a conversation with a Muslim man late last week. I’ve met him before and we are cordial to one another, although we don’t know each other well. He knows I am an Atheist, I know he’s a Muslim. Hell – he’s this great big guy,about 6,2″ and very very fleshy. He has the obligatory beard and wears the traditional Thobe.
Anyways, we got chatting and I asked him, why he believes in Islam. We were both dancing in our communication efforts,not wanting to infuriate the other – and I’ll give him respect for the fact that he tried very very hard to show me why he believes in Islam, without any defensiveness or being smug.
This is going to be a long comment, I fear. Anyways, this is a man who is from a Pakistani and Arab background, has lived in Australia for 15 years, works here and has a degree, a bachelor in something or other, I can’t remember now. So, pretty intelligent and educated.
He said to me, and used this descriptor, ‘When I look at the inside of an apple and see the seeds and the way the apple is formed, the beauty of it, I know that something so miraculous and beautiful was created by Allah’. He also then went on to use trees, the sky, flowers etc as further examples. Basically, their inherent complexity and the beauty of their structure as inanimate objects determines in his eyes, the existence of a God.
Then he went on to ask me, knowing I’m an Atheist and in medical school, ‘Why do you think the sky is blue? No-one has the answer for that. We don’t know why the sky is blue’.
So I politely, explained that well yes, we do know why the sky is blue and its because of how air molecules scatter the blue light that hits us from the sun. I asked him, gingerly and I mean I was very careful here – ‘Science has already answered this question. Its just light refraction. Did you not know this?’
He didn’t have an answer for me. He wasn’t expecting me to respond with that answer. So he ignored my question and then said that there are 7 skies all stacked on top of one another, and that they are flat, like levels in a building, not curved in arc.
You see what I mean? Here is an otherwise fairly intelligent man – someone who is smart enough to go to university and earn a degree. And despite that degree, he believes in the ‘science’ of the Quran. And it was clear – no matter how many times I refuted things that he said – he just bounced right along to the next topic. He wasn’t taking any of it in. He won’t. I guess to him, that would be blasphemy.
He explained to me, how as a ‘good’ Muslim he tries to emulate Mohamed wherever he can. He explained that this is why he only sleeps in one position at night in bed – because that’s the same position Mohammed slept in. He always enters a room, or a car etc – with his right food leading the first step. Because Mohammed did that.
All this superstitious pageantry that occupies his every waking thought. All the idolatry and the millions of tiny little things he does every minute of every day – so as to emulate Mohammed – they are a distraction. A extremely effective distraction. All the rules, all the obligations, the demands to pray 5 times a day – and recite an utter litany of different prayers – and THEN add on a bunch of optional ones as well.. A ‘good’ Muslim is a person who is kept completely busy 90% of their waking time, by the demands and rigours of their religion.
And if they take a misstep, or miss a few prayers, or don’t observe the myriad rules – the consequences are tremendous. Allah is not a forgiving, compassionate God. He’s a total shit-head of a God given what he expects of his followers.
Seriously- Islam exists today and is carried forward because of pure steaming ignorance. And its intentional ignorance. There was NO WAY I was going to get through to this man, that what he was saying, was horseshit. He’d have a brain explosion trying to comprehend that. He has been trained since birth, wearing figurative horse blinkers, to focus on Islam and focus on the rules and be a Muslim and NEVER EVER STRAY away from the lines laid out in front of him. And if he does stray outside those lines? Man he’s in a world of serious trouble! Because his Allah PREDETERMINED the path he is on. If he willingly breaks away from that – not only is he disobeying God’s will – but he is shitting all over God’s will with his actions effectively saying ‘I know better than Allah’.
They’re like Scientologists. And the Koresh followers. Islam is a cult. Independent thinking, critical reason, rationalization – it is beaten out of them. Absolutely crushed. They are automatons in many respects.
I did not think that in 2017, in a first world, developed Western nation, I would find myself standing in front of an educated man who could completely earnestly stand in front of me and sincerely describe 7 different skies stacked upon one another.
These people are beyond hope.
gravenimage says
Thanks, Sarah, Of course, I wish this Muslim was only ignorant of civilized knowledge when it comes to things like why the sky is blue.
Even more to the point, I wish Muslims only followed the model of the “Prophet” when it comes to inconsequential matters like what position to sleep in or how to enter the bathroom–unfortunately, all too many also follow his model when it comes to “marrying” 9-year-old children or slaughtering unbelievers.
Custos Custodum says
Great and perceptive post, Sarah.
Sarah says
Thanks Graven, thanks Custos.
I did try explaining the Golden Spiral to him (you know the Fibonacci sequence) and its importance in evolution – as a way to try and unravel some of the things that he sees and automatically thinks ‘Must be made by God since I don’t understand how it works’.
In fairness, I don’t expect every person on the street to have a solid, in-depth grasp on this stuff, hell, I barely have a solid grasp on it myself. I’m not a Mathematician.
But I was fighting an up hill battle. He’d never even heard of the Fibonacci Sequence – and outright said I was lying LOL when I said the same sequence of numbers is found, repeated,all throughout nature, in repetitive or spiral form – such as pineapples, leaves, flowers, snail shells, galaxies etc etc.
I guess you can’t argue with someone who is prepared to call you a liar – when all they have to do is jump on the internet to check what I’m saying is truthful or not – when instead you can just believe that the universe is 7 different skies stacked in levels above one another, where Allah sits at the very top on a golden throne. And directly underneath him are 8 angels who appear in the form of mountain goats.
I mean, come on. I’d tolerate hearing that, if I kidnapped someone from the dark ages and asked them the question. But not a person alive today.
Custos Custodum says
Interesting. I knew vaguely about Fibonacci numbers but never connected them with evolution.
Of course, I have now looked it up, and see the connection. Thanks for an interesting insight.
Living inside the First World bubble, it is easy to overlook that the discovery of rationality and the Scientific Method are precious and tenuous achievements. (Not that rationality by itself is the be-all and end-all of human achievement.)
Outside the First World, these intellectual achievements are simply not lived, and are actively resisted and suppressed in official and popular culture.
TheBuffster says
Thanks for that beautifully expressed story, Sarah.
For a person to believe, in today’s world, that 7 uncurved skies are stacked upon each other or that no one knows why the sky is blue, or any of the pile of other false explanations contained in the Koran and Sunna, does require serious self-blinkering.
Yes, when Muslims take their texts seriously and uncritically – as the Koran demands they must – Islam does indeed operate like a cult.
Susette says

Voytek Gagalka says
“I talked to other people in my dorm regarding their opinion on the decision to bring Spencer to campus. Many thought it was okay, a simple exercise of the right to free speech.
But when do we draw the line between free speech and hate speech?” [Emphasis mine]
Unless Minha Khan claims to be a member of British Royal Family, I think not that she is remotely justified in using royals “we.” Can she just think for herself and speak for herself without referencing to “other people”? You see, she can’t. Influence of Islam prevents her from exercising her own independent judgment and her own reason and simply to stand on her own feet. And that is the sole reason she, the lowlife second-hander, is so afraid of Robert Spencer visiting Stanford. She is plainly scared to death that she can be somehow “badly” (according to creed of Islam) influenced by his person and his speech. And then what ever-presented Ummah would say about her!
CelticToTheBone says
My opinion is that the “Mihna Khan” article was not written by a Pakistani.
The writing style is Western (most likely American) and post-graduate level English; unlikely to be found in a recent Pakistani arrival in the USA. Most North Americans aren’t as articulate.
I’m an Irishman, who has lived and worked in Canada, the USA, Australia and other countries, and has rubbed shoulders with many Pakistanis. I also have completed post-graduate level English courses.
gravenimage says
You could be right–certainly, an extra level of Taqiyya would not surprise.
Custos Custodum says
Agreed. I have pointed out elsewhere that the current smear campaign against Robert Spencer’s Stanford appearance is tightly coordinated across different, formerly respectable media platform, and works off of well thought out, coordinated “TALKING POINTS.”
Agree that some of the public faces of the anti-Spencer campaign are very unlikely to have written the articles published in their names.
The relentless emotionalizing, intentional misdirection and “misunderstandings” are carefully planned and far from innocuous: e.g. publishing a picture of *RICHARD* Spencer after Robert Spencer had UPON REQUEST provided a picture of himself and related materials.
The intended outcome is MURDER. Please be careful, Mr. Spencer.
Sarah says
You have a better old on your temper than I, Mr Spencer! My patience evaporated by the time I got to
“I worked hard to get into Stanford and my father worked even harder to afford it…for what? To come here and see that I am not wanted?”
I would have unleashed my frustrations at that point! So its a good thing that you’re the one doing this thankless and hard job – because in your shoes, I’d just end up on YouTube in a series of talks at Universities where they quickly devolved into furious shouting, because God knows my tolerance levels are far more limited.
Keep up the good work!
MFritz says
And what lame excuse was it before Robert Spencer came?

Yes–I doubt this is the first time she has whined about not being made to feel she belongs at Stanford.
Minha Khan is also Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education–another sign that she has not been accepted at Stanford…sarc/off

Muslim student says “I can never fully belong to the Stanford community” because Robert Spencer is coming
……………………………
What? You can never belong to a community unless *every single person in it agrees with you on every single matter*? This is completely insane, especially at a university.
But it makes perfect sense in a Shari’ah state. Why, exactly, did she leave Pakistan–unless she hoped America could become more like that failed state?
More:
How did it come to this, that someone who simply opposes jihad terror and supports equality of rights for all people is treated as the second coming of Jack the Ripper?
……………………………
Opposing Jihad and Shari’ah is, after all, “Islamophobic”.
Is Minha Khan admitting that she supports these horrors? No one will ever ask her, because this would be “Islamophobic”, as well.
She either does support these things–most observant Muslims do–or else she is pretending that Robert Spencer just hates all Muslims regardless, with is absolute calumny.
More:
Before leaving Pakistan, my grandparents told me to be careful at Stanford. I laughed it off and told them that things had changed- being Muslim on campus was not such a big deal anymore. I told them there was no need to be afraid. I wasn’t going to live in fear.
……………………………
Pakistan is a dangerous cesspool, rife with violence like rapes and “honor killings”–but she is supposed to be terrified to attend an elite American university in a wealthy and safe suburb. Riiiiiiiiight….
More:
That’s why so many Muslims from the U.S. are clamoring to get in to Pakistan, you see. And Stanford is “Islamophobic”? There are three new articles today, this one and two in the Stanford Daily, denouncing me. One would think that if Stanford were really “Islamophobic,” the campus wouldn’t be in such an uproar over the appearance of an accused “Islamophobe.”
……………………………
Yes–the idea that she feels endangered at Stanford because there are a tiny handful of civilized Campus Republicans there is ridiculous. For the most part, those at Stanford are falling all over themselves to assure those like Minha Khan that they hate Robert Spencer as much as supremacist Muslims do.
More:
But when the first thing I saw while walking downstairs to get breakfast was the flyer for Robert Spencer’s talk “Jihad and Radical Islam,” I was afraid. I didn’t know what this meant for me, a Pakistani Muslim girl who covers her head.
……………………………
So, again, does this mean that she supports Jihad and “radical Islam”? If she were an actual “moderate”, why would this bother her at all?
And–as noted–she could just use this as an opportunity to attend and show Robert Spencer how very, very wrong he is before a large crowd. But she can’t, and will not try.
More:
Robert Spencer is a self-proclaimed expert on “Radical Islam” who co-founded “Stop Islamization of America.
……………………………
Does this mean that Khan is actually in support of America being Islamized–including the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law? Who will actually ask this question?
More:
He has often been criticized for causing a divide between the West and Islam, and is known to promote a conspiratorial anti-Muslim agenda.
……………………………
What absolute rot–it is Muslims who are slaughtering people in the West, all in the name of Islam. Is Minha Khan going to repudiate the actions of her pious coreligionists? Don’t hold your breath…
More:
In short, he’s not my biggest fan.
……………………………
Is this yet another admission that she is for Jihad and Shari’ah? Because if not, then there is no issue. And of course she would not have a cup of coffee with the gentle and civilized Mr. Spencer–it would screw with her ‘narrative’ that she is terrified of him.
It would also smack too much of acknowledging his freedom of speech–something she has already denounced.
More:
When does it become acceptable for a guest to this campus to tell my fellow students that Islam is radical and hate-driven?
……………………………
In other words, how *dare* a filthy Infidel be allowed to tell the truth about Islam? After all, no dhimmi in Pakistan would ever dare say such a thing. He–and his family, and his whole community–would learn what *real* fear is if they ever tried.
And *this* is what Minha Khan wants to impose here in the civilized West.
Notice, too, that she never actually denies that this is true about Islam–she is just enraged that anyone be allowed to say it.
naildriver says
This Muslim student is preposterous in her rants. They do illuminate the clarity of Islam’s enemy nature.
Her questions are easily answered though. Yes, Islam should be pushed out off the USA.
Raja says
This Muslim is very deceitful as they strongly believe they don’t belong to the West (They are brainwashed to be odious of anything West : Christianity, democracy, secularism blah, blah, blah). They want Stanford to toe their line. Islamic supremacist ideology only breeds bigots and hatred.This has always been counter productive.

WOW…victimhood is in the DNA of the muslim female. They are victims of islam…a patriarchal, oppressive, misogynistic ideology that they embrace with fervor. How can that be??? Miss Mihna should use her time at Stanford to open her mind. Her first order of business is to burn that hijab, which clearly is keeping her mind locked and closed.
