The Muslim Student Association recently hosted a “Meet a Muslim Day” at Cal Poly Pomona. Similar events have been held at universities across the continent. The celebration of the harmless aspects of cultures (such as food, music, dance) should be what “diversity” initiatives are about, but they have become politicized and are often run by groups that are masters at identity politics and neck-deep in sinister agendas. The MSA is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. But far too many Westerners are fooled by a happy face, a warm hug, a handshake, and the feeling of a stylish hijab being tenderly placed on their heads — a gesture that is often included in such events.
The event was intended to inform students about the value of their Islamic culture and religion.
Rayyan Musulmani, a second-year biology student involved in MSA, expressed her desired outcome of this event….”We’re just hoping to remove any stereotypes that people have of Muslims and just to understand that we’re a peaceful religion….And just because that 1 percent of Muslims committed terrorist attacks, like obviously we’re not responsible for those. We just want to put out that we’re peaceful too.
If only the problem were just the Muslims who have committed terrorist attacks. What aspects of Islamic culture and Islamic jurisprudence were on display at this event? If non-Muslims “meet and greet” a Muslim who is friendly, then the Muslim persecution of Christians and others will not disappear. Neither will the jihad imperative to conquer the House of War. The Hamas and PLO Charters dedicated to the obliteration of Israel will not be thrown in the dustbin. The murder of gays and apostates under Islamic law will not end. Nor will honor killings. Blasphemy laws, female genital mutilation, Sharia-mandated inferiority of women, child marriage, Sharia patrols, no-go zones, and Muslim rape gangs will not disappear. Iran’s efforts to revive the Persian Empire, Turkey’s efforts toward a revived Ottoman Empire, the global funding of jihad terror by Saudi Arabia, and the Muslim Brotherhood plan to conquer North America will all still exist. Were Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) banners displayed at this Muslim Student Association “meet and greet”?
To question, criticize, and call out abuses that are sanctioned under Islamic law, and to document the expansionist imperative of several Muslim states (as well as of the global jihad in general) is deemed to be “Islamophobic” by mainstream Muslim groups. Yet there is reason for grave concern about Islam that a meet-and-greet cannot make go away, particularly when such an event is hosted by the Muslim Student Association, which is linked to Hamas. The ongoing insults to Western intelligence are palpable.
“Combating Islamophobia through ‘Meet a Muslim Day,’” The Poly Post, November 26, 2018:
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) hosted “Meet a Muslim Day” at University Park on Tuesday, Nov. 20.
The event was intended to inform students about the value of their Islamic culture and religion.
“The number one reason there is Islamophobia is that people have never actually met a Muslim,” said Hadi Nasr, a third-year urban regional planning student and president of the Muslim Student Association. “Their only perception of what a Muslim is through media and typically those outlets are not the best representation of what a Muslim is.”
Booths provided a variety of cultural activities to encourage students to start a conversation about defying Islamophobia and stereotypes about Muslims and to help them really understand the religion and culture of Muslim people.
“You come out here and you can see what we do outside of the classroom and how we want to spread our religion in a cool way just like everyone else,” said Maryam Saleh, a second-year business marketing student. Students were able to try on hijabs and get henna tattoos.
Another booth offered notecards where students could get their names written in Arabic calligraphy.
There was also a questionnaire booth where people could ask questions and express any fears or concerns based on Muslim stereotypes and get answers.
Rayyan Musulmani, a second-year biology student involved in MSA, expressed her desired outcome of this event.
“We’re just hoping to remove any stereotypes that people have of Muslims and just to understand that we’re a peaceful religion,” she said. “And just because that 1 percent of Muslims committed terrorist attacks, like obviously we’re not responsible for those. We just want to put out that we’re peaceful too.”…

Islam invites Canadians to mosques. WHY?

“The Muslim Student Association recently hosted a “Meet a Muslim Day” at Cal Poly Pomona.”
The perfect way to meet a muslim is through a videophone connection, where the muslim is located in a far corner of the Afghan desert. The quality of the meeting is considerably improved if the audio channel is one-way; directed towards the muslim.

WHY DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT THE SUN SETS IN A MUDDY SPRING??
The sun does not set in a ‘muddy spring’ and the sun does not ‘rest’ under the throne of Allah during the night. Koran 18.86 is scientifically wrong and the hadiths that confirm it are wrong. The Koran is confusing and not ‘mubeen’ (clear), and it contradicts itself. Allah cannot write clearly or coherently in his book, because it must be interpreted by voluminous commentaries that explain why the Koran does NOT say what it simply and plainly says. Human fingerprints (contradictions, factual errors and absurdities) are all over the Koran. The Koran is an obvious hoax from an illiterate. Since the Koran 18.86 is false, Allah is not the creator of the sun and earth, Mohammed is a false prophet, Islam is a false religion and you may leave Islam with confidence. Mohammed declared that the sun ‘SETS IN WARM WATER’ .
Sunan Abu Dawud 4002: “It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah while he was on a donkey, and the sun was setting. He said: ‘Do you know where this (sun) sets?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘It sets in a spring of warm water.’”
Since Muhammad says nothing about Dhul-Qarnain here, Muslims can’t assert that Muhammad was merely describing some sort of optical illusion that Dhul-Qarnain saw. This is Muhammad telling one of his companions where the sun goes when it sets. And according to Muhammad, the sun sets in a spring of water.
Therefore, Muslims who try to reinterpret Surah 18, verse 86 of the Qur’an are telling us that Allah was CONFUSED about what Dhul-Qarnain saw, that the Qur’an is horribly UNCLEAR, and that modern Muslims understand the Qur’an BETTER than Muhammad did. But in Islam, this would be BLASPHEMY.
Since K.18.86 and the hadiths are WRONG about the sun, and the Koran is WRONG about the sun and NOT ‘CLEAR’, Mohammed is a false prophet, Allah is not the creator of the sun and earth, Islam is a false religion and you may leave Islam with confidence.

Are you aware that the quran calculated the speed of light; long before modern western scientists?
Islams holy scriptures stated that light spends as much time to travel between earth and moon as angels flying between those 2 orbs.
When you know the distance and the time of travel, you get the speed. Of course the muslim eggheads did not just declare that c = 300.000 km/hour.
Maybe CERN, ESA or NASA could hire some of these angels as external consultants.

allah says about stars..
“WE have made them missiles for the devils”
koran 67:5
I did a college level course on Astrophysics once:I think …allah is..wrong.I never studied that,LOL.
allah doesn’t understand Physics.
There are something like 40+ scientific errors in the koran{medical howlers too}:of course muslims play the “only those who speak Arabic can understand the koran “game too.They simply change the meaning of words.For example once upon a time the moon was a light{like the Sun}but now,since Science has revealed it to be REFLECTED light,the new translation tells us the moon is…reflected light:just CHANGE the meaning of a Word.Easey-peasey!
But then allah doesn’t understand Theology either since he thinks Christians are polytheists and guilty of shirk due to his EPIC misunderstanding of the concept of the Trinity{which was revealed in the Gospel,a book which allah says he wrote and confirns as true koran 5:46-47}In fact the koran is essentially “allah denies allah”..

Yes, the greatness of Muslim science…the Muslim numbers of Nobel prizes in Science? Jews who at 14 millions are less than 0.2% of total earth population have been awarded over 22% of ALL Nobel Prize, while Muslims who at 1.6 BILLIONS are over 23% have been awarded ZERO in Science…Muslim Eyoptian terrorist Arafat and US destroyer B. Hussein Obama got Nobel Prize for peace ;-)!

ASK MUSLIMS WHY ISLAM HAS A DOCTRINE OF HATE: ‘AL BARAA’ = Islamic Apartheid, Shunning of dirty KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ ???
‘Baraa’ is HATRED towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
– Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
– Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
“There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)
– Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “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.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
– from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
– “The matter is clear on this issue. It is obligatory to disassociate and absolve oneself from the disbelievers and their religion. The issue of al-Walaa wal-Baraa is from among the greatest obligations in Islaam.” (Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan, 2005, p. 308)
– Obligation to Hate Kufaar: “With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims’ attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter’s attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.” – Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
HOW DOES A MUSLIM KNOW WHEN HE HATES THE DIRTY KUFAAR *ENOUGH* TO PLEASE ALLAH?
mortimer says
ASK MUSLIMS IF *KAFIR-O-PHOBIA” (hatred directed towards kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’) is EQUALLY WRONG … or is it bigoted hatred directed by Muslims to non-Muslims APPROVED BY ALLAH?
K.60: 4-5 “Indeed there has been an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE for you in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people: “Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides ALLAH : we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you *HOSTILITY* AND *HATRED* FOREVER until you believe in ALLAH ALONE”
INTERPRETATION by a LEADING ISLAMIC AUTHORITY :
SAUDI SHEIKH – Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz said …
Saudi Arabia’s “Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas” issues religious decrees that become law.
Fatwa: “Duty to Hate Jews, Polytheists, and Other Infidels.” Written by Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz (d. 1999), former grand mufti and highest religious authority in the government. According to this governmentally-supported fatwa, ALL MUSLIMS must…
…“OPPOSE and HATE whomever Allah commands us to OPPOSE and HATE, including the Jews, the Christians, and other mushrikin [non-Muslims], until they believe in Allah alone and abide by his laws, which he sent down to his Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him.”
DO THESE MUSLIMS AT THE BOOTH PRACTICE THE HATRED OF KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ … or do they practice Islam-à-la-carte ???

Combating “islamophobia”?
That will involve dealing with FASCISTS,COWARDS AND MORONS:the very people who subscribe to the contrived fakery of “islamophobia”
Should be very easy to find them on any MODERN college campus..
..Of course the RED-GREEN-DHIMMI axis continues to operate{The idiotic “to be massacred by islam at a future date” Left-the Taqqiya-peddling islamists-the naive dhimmi Christians and Jews and silly academics and students}
“Oh ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
koran 5 v 51
Does that sound “culturally enriching” to any intelligent person?
The Jews?{“apes to be despised and hated” koran 2:65}
Isn’t that….antisemitism??Will those who complain about “islamophobia” be protesting THAT?
islam’s antisocial nature and the koran’s hate-filled,violent bigotry should go down well in the college community,right?…will the muslims tell you about the koran’s violent antisemitism,antichristianity,40+ Scientific errors,misogyny{a woman is worth half a man}?

When attending such events, make sure to bring your personal copy of Qur’an–with your “favorite” ayat highlighted–in order to ask specific questions of them.
Two examples:
Qur’an 5:33
Yusuf Ali: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
The question: Are those punishments morally acceptable to you?
Qur’an 3:110
Yusuf Ali: Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
Qur’an 98:6
Yusuf Ali: Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
The Question: Are Muslims the best of peoples, and am I the worst of creatures?
Marty says
islam is a death cult. I’m opposed to death cult. “Ask me anything.”
Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says
We (the worst of all creatures) should thank our lucky stars that most of “the best of peoples evolved for mankind” don’t actually practice the disgusting and deadly teachings of their beloved holy doctrine.
Don’t ask Muslims questions,…
instead thank the ones who do not smite your neck for their hypocrisy, and failure to follow instructions 🤪
P. Douglas says
Many Muslims do not even know that the “god” they worship is actually Satan himself. BUT nearly every Inman or Muslim scholar I’ve spoke to DOES KNOW!
But, they claim it doesn’t matter!
Satan, the “god of this world” is acceptable to them!
Thus allah hu ack a bar!
Our “god” is greater then your God!
To bad they refuse to read the end of The Book!
Cheers!
