Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Illinois: Muslim cleric says “we all have a higher goal, and that is the establishment of the caliphate”

Mar 1, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The caliphate is, in Sunni Islamic theology, the sole legitimate government to which Muslims owe loyalty. It is ruled by a caliph, the military, political, and spiritual successor of Muhammad, and implements Islamic law, which is considered the non-negotiable law of Allah. How loyal do you think Sheikh Omar Baloch is to the American system of non-establishment of a religion and a republican governmental system? That’s right, not loyal at all. But to question him about this would be “Islamophobic.”

“Illinois-Based Sheikh Omar Baloch: Islamic Relief Organizations Should Promote the Caliphate as the Long-Term Solution to Humanitarian Problems,” MEMRI, January 29, 2019
Clip No. 7053

On January 29, 2019, Illinois-based Sheikh Omar Baloch uploaded a video titled “Constructive Criticism of Islamic Relief Organizations” to his YouTube channel. In the video, Baloch said that Islamic relief organizations do not place enough emphasis on the establishment of an Islamic caliphate as the long-term solution to humanitarian problems. He said that the problem is that many Islamic organizations are scared to lose funding if they are too vocal about the establishment of a caliphate, and he criticized them because they “wear the garb of [piety]” by providing aid, but they do not call out the “forces of injustice,” for which they are serving as a “bandage.” He said that such organizations should use their platform to convey a message about the common dream, legacy, and hope of Muslims, and he elaborated: “We all have a higher goal… that is bigger than us, and that is the establishment of the caliphate.” According to the Facebook page of the Furqaan Institute of Quranic Education (FIQE), Sheikh Omar Baloch was born in Chicago and is the scholar in residence at the Al-Furqaan Foundation, of which FIQE is a division. The Facebook page also says that Baloch studied at Georgetown University, at Al-Azhar University in Egypt, at Jamia Thul Ahlul Hadith in Pakistan.

Following are excerpts:

Sheikh Omar Baloch: Today I want to talk about Islamic relief organizations.

[…]

There is not enough emphasis when it comes to Islamic relief organizations into… Number one, what is the long-term solution to all these problems?

[…]

There is only one real, real long-term solution, which a lot of people don’t like to hear, but it’s the caliphate.

[…]

We ask for funds because we talk about how bad the situation is, but it is as important to be able to raise awareness of, number one, the solution for all the Muslims, and number two, to call out the injustices that exist in any given society. It is very important to call out the injustices. A lot of Muslim relief organizations feel they’ll lose their funding if they become too vocal, but this is exactly the problem.

[…]

You are wearing the garb of being pious and doing something impious in the process if you’re helping the needy but not calling out the one who is creating the problem, because you’re just a bandage for them.

[…]

If you’re not calling out the forces of injustice and you’re not telling Muslims the long-term solution, the common dream of the Muslims, the common legacy of the Muslims, of uniting the Muslims, in using the relief organization fund platforms to do that… It’s very, very important that that message comes across, even to the people that you’re bringing the funds to, the medical supplies to, the blankets to… Even they need to hear a message of hope, that we’re all in a common boat with a common destiny, and we all as Muslims have a common destiny.

[…]

We all have a higher goal, and number two, a goal that is bigger than all of us, and that is the establishment of the caliphate, the coming back of the Muslim caliphate.

[…]

The relief organizations have a very good platform to also explain the need for a caliphate – why we need to unite the Muslims. I really wish that my brothers and sisters that work in relief organizations would take this task seriously.

        Yes, we know it’s not Christianity! Yes even as Christians we should speak out about the injustices done to others that is in accordance with the Bible, God’s Holy word! If we don’t we are not adhereing to God’s word. There is a big difference in Muslims and Christians our Country was founded on Christian values. We are looking for Jesus to return. If you don’t like this country maybe you need your own country that believes like you do. Don’t come here to America if you don’t want to be among Christians because that is who we are. You might want think on these things because we are going to have a revival of Christianity in our Country. I’d be careful you might become a Christian too!

    This man 1. Has the AUDACITY to say that ISLAMIC LAW is the solution to ANYTHING??… Nevermind the fact that the Muhamaden’s have been KILLING EACH OTHER as long as this BARBARIC IDEOLOGY has existed (and longer). 2. RE: The ISIS Bride (Use the one making headlines in U.K. OR USA). It is mentioned that there were bins FULL of the HEADS of Christians, sex slaves AND SUNNI MUSLIMS!! We in the Western World REFORMED our Religions centuries ago. We all live together in PEACE…Let these people who are not willing or able to join the 21st century GO BACK TO THE EASTERN COUNTRIES. If they were BORN HERE yet this garbage of WORLD DOMINATION is what they want, STRIP THEIR CITIZENSHIP. NONE of them would be here to begin with if not for the WELFARE and NOW FREE education at the taxpayers expense.

    The Ottoman Caliphate went down 1922, the ISIS Caliphate went down in 2018-2019. Next? If CAIR thinks there are “islamophobia” problems today they should imagine what the response will be to any attempt to create a caliphate – and muzzle clerics who call for one. The free world’s toleration of what comes with a caliphate is over. A caliphate is no way to make friends or influence people. Dream if you must, but know the results if one is established. The free world is not going to tolerate it.

    Most Muslims are content to live in an outwardly divided set of Islamic states created essentially by the British and other colonial powers, and most these are along historically identifiable tribes and ethnic groups. And, it is true that many of these different groups are no friends to each other, as the Turks being historically hostile to the Arabs during its caliphate. But, Islam doesn’t need the literal unification of a caliphate to essentially prosper as a nation. And a nation it is complete with a capital in Mecca, a language of Arabic, an umma all expected to participate in jihad – its military, and objectives hard wired in its abrogated Koran and other governing texts to over run the world.
    Ironically the USA allowed Islam to be the number one authority in Iraq and Afghanistan, and most Muslim countries in the region already have Islam as the number one rule of law, from Africa to parts of the Philippines. It is so in parts of Nigeria and Indonesia, and perhaps already in England and neighborhoods even in the USA.
    Most clerics are not worrying of Islam’s progress with the continual growth and progress it is having all over the world; and fully understanding that time is on its side in this progress.
    KSA hasn’t ceased training fanatics, funding Madrases, and building massive mosques and doing this all over the world. Nor are Western universities and educational systems not already heavily funded to ‘be nice’ — and they are.
    Pakistan has nukes and delivery systems and its father, Khan, who developed these viable warheads has already given the blueprints for such throughout the Islamic regimes. There is a deliberate plan behind this seemingly disparate slime mold among the beasts we call nations.
    Western leaders know all this, of course, and yet most, owing to the nature of their rise to leadership capitulate, and even nurture this Islamic progress. Hillary Clinton in her bid for the presidency even argued it might anger Muslims if we deny them entry into the USA; ‘so we had better continue to let them in! — or it might create terrorists.
    So, this kind of mentality isn’t even considered odd or newsworthy by the press; since, it to is in a state of capitulation to Islamic progress owing to it being heavily financed by them — as well as targeted if they step out of line — as with the memorable Charlie Hebdo massacre.
    Needless to say, the USA’s ‘national interests’ by many on the right, depends upon military sales to various Islamic states, as when Trump crowed of the billions secured in arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Oil of course has been Islam’s dream serum since the end of Colonial domination, to regroup and give bones to this infectious ooze of Islam.
    So, at what point does the West realize such things are not in its interests? When will it realize at some point the weight of Islam’s progress will effect an overwhelming burden upon our systems of government to the point of making any resistance to an entrenchment of Islam in our very societies impossible to stop — and it appears already so in England and the EU.
    Islam needs to be Identified as a national threat, on the order of the Soviet Empire or Nazi Germany.

    • Terry Gain says

      Mar 1, 2019 at 3:38 pm

      I agree. But it would take another Churchill to lead us out of this pit into which we have been drawn and I don’t see one on the horizon. Any would- be leader who is willing to identify Islam as an existential threat will be immediately vilified.

      • Naildriver says

        Mar 1, 2019 at 4:28 pm

        And, in addition such a would be leader would be marked for murder by various devotees — and everybody in such a position knows that.
        It’s useful for devotees engaged in jihad to be aligned to some group — that gives Islam deniability, and the perception among most who buy the propaganda, that something is being done to stop the ‘terrorism’. ‘Terrorism’ itself is now the enemy, in this world of capitulation.
        The manure will eventually hit the fan, but this is no ordinary manure — but just as toxic.

        • Naildriver says

          Mar 1, 2019 at 11:17 pm

          In fact, the need to identify Islam as a national menace is certainly essential.
          Our government must do its job; and protect both the population threatened by Islamic jihad, and the Constition to which the politicians swore an oath to uphold. That is not asking too much.
          This threat from Islam is indeed a national ’emergency’.
          Reminds me of that fear to name Voltmort in Harry Potter. Yes, Islam is the enemy.

    Illinois—from the Land of Lincoln to this POS.

    Downwards. Always does Islam in all its purity take you downwards. The only way not is to, a la Ibn Warraq, distinguish between Islam 1, Islam 2 and Islam 3. Anyone who has read Ibn Warraq’s 1995 work, “Why I Am Not a Muslim,” knows what I am referencing here. For all those who have come to despise the worst religion ever created by man and yet still do not know about these “three Islams,” I enthusiastically recommend this tome by Ibn Warraq.

    This American Muslims says that all American Muslims have a goal of destroying America. No American Muslim disagrees, so I would suppose that nearly all American Muslims are in America to destroy her. It is hard to get around that logic, and he did not misspeak.

    Illinois based …and Chicago suburban spread…..mosques teaching the doctrine from the Quran dotting the area around the city to the northern border, I just hope the Illinois dems, but doubt they will, wake up but more importantly the Republicans. Surrounding the Navy base and no restrictions sitting on Lake Michigan all sides and across the pond to Michigan towns, south to Indiana…spreading in every state. In small towns in rural Wisconsin…that is chilling and buying up property and doing outreach to state leaders, unaware of the deception and using the acting skills that could win an award.

      That’s right. And a caliphate would just get in The way of this Muslims’ effective progress for Islam. Not that another caliphate won’t materialize.
      This ‘holding pattern ‘ that the West is in, where localised terrorism is attributed to some ignorant and fanatical splinter group, that is incorrectly practicing Islam, fails to account for what is happening throughout our society. From prisons to the very presidency, Islam enjoys progress with every racist convert, intimidated neighbor, proselytized college class, immigrant voting block, and murder to silence opposition, as in the Draw Mohammed contest in Garland Texas. Islam is entrenching itself with the help of traitors and useful idiots.

    I am the person mentioned in this article, Omar Baloch. If the Jewish people are allowed to have a state of theirs and can be loyal citizens of the USA, why not Muslims?

    I was born and raised here and I love the land I live in. If u have a question for me email at obaloch @gmail.

    Many of you don’t have a clear idea of an Islamic state would look like , this is why many just give a knee jerk reaction. I inviteyou to actually understand what an Islamic state would like. We muslims are tired of dictators supported by our government, starting with Saudi Arabia to UAE. We want to practise Islam with full freedom. We want a chance to show the world that Islam can work with the modern times.
