“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends. They are friends of one another. And whoever is a friend to them among you, then indeed, he is of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” (Qur’an 5:51)
No doubt Pope Francis is on his way to New York now to explain the true, cuddly Islam to Mufti Muhammad Ibn Muneer.
“NY Cleric Muhammad Ibn Muneer: Muslims Should Hate Non-Muslims, Can Only Maintain Relations With Them To Call Them To Islam,” MEMRI, January 31, 2018 to January 31, 2019:
In a Q&A session uploaded to the Hadith Disciple YouTube channel on January 31, 2018, New York cleric Mufti Muhammad Ibn Muneer said that there are different ways of dealing with different types of Jews. He cited the Islamic principle of Al-Bara Wal-Wala (disavowal and loyalty), which he says is, as “explained by Ibn Al-Qayyim and many others… simply summed up as loving the Muslims and hating the non-Muslims… Buddhist, Hindu, this, that, so on and so forth.” He underlined that if his Jewish neighbor is “trying to do me physical harm… I have the right to defend myself.” He continued: “Look at history” when Jews and Muslims lived together and “the Muslims ran the country [and] the Jews were the minority…. The moment there is oppression” – that’s “a whole different story.”
In a Q&A session uploaded a year later, on January 31, 2019, he expanded on the subject, saying that a Muslim cannot maintain a close relationship with infidels with whom he had been friends prior to accepting Islam and that Muslims cannot treat non-Muslim as friends. They may be treated with respect and friendliness in order to invite them to Islam, he said, but only a pious Muslim is worthy of a close, trusting friendship. He added that it may be Islamically impermissible to wear soccer jerseys that have the names of non-Muslims or that contain symbols of something other than Islam, and that buying designer clothing might be supporting homosexuals or people who are bombing Muslims in Palestine.
Following are excerpts:
Muhammad Ibn Muneer (on January 31, 2018): The question says, from Ft. Worth, TX: “What should our relationship with the Jews be in this day and age?” That’s a very long and detailed discussion. Before we can shed any light on the issue, we have to know that Jews are of different types.
[…]
So, obviously, if there are different types – both religious and ethnically, and so on and so forth – then, obviously, dealing with them is going to vary as well.
[…]
The general principle in Islam of Al-Bara Wal-Wala [disavowal and loyalty] as explained by Ibn Al-Qayyim and many others is to love and to hate for the sake of Allah, which is simply summed up as loving the Muslims and hating the non-Muslims. Being loyal to the Muslims, and not being loyal to the non-Muslims. Supporting the Muslims and not supporting polytheism and disbelief, et cetera, regardless of the different types of polytheism and disbelief – Buddhist, Hindu, this, that, so on and so forth.
[…]
It is going to vary from time to time, from person to person, from place to place. If I have a neighbor who is a Jew… That’s my neighbor; I have to look after him and his property. I can’t lust after his wife, disrespect his property, allow someone to do something bad to his… He’s my neighbor even if he’s a Jew. [But if] he’s trying to do me physical harm and cause me harm, I have the right to defend myself.
[…]
The same applies to overseas. Look at history. When the Jews and the Muslims, they lived… The Muslims ran this country, the Jews were the minority, whatever the case is… The moment there is oppression – the moment there is plunder, and rape, and murder… The moment [he] is swindling [Muslims] out of [their] rights, [their] land, [their] honor, killing [them], blowing [them] up – that’s a whole different story.
[…]
On January 31, 2019: With regards to taking the disbelievers as friends and intimate companions – can a person keep a close relationship with his previous friends and colleagues before he accepted Islam, from school, et cetera? No and yes. No, they are not your friends, and they are not allowed to be treated as your friends. The yes part – you keeping relations with them to call them to Islam and to invite them to your way of life. You keeping relations with them because you may owe them something, they did a lot of things for you back in the day and took care of you, and looked after you – you pay back the basic good treatment. But them being your buddies and your friends, and they feel that this person is their close, close, close buddy – that’s problematic.
[…]
They can’t be your close friends. You [can] see them and talk to them, and say: “Hey, what’s up, what’s going on, alright…” You bust it up.
[…]
But someone being your close friend – entering your home, eating your food, you tell them secrets, they tell you secrets, you trust them, you rely upon them, things like this – that’s only befitting of a pious Muslim. That’s only befitting of a pious Muslim. So oftentimes it’s a word game, we say “friends” or “close friends” but it’s nothing more than an associate.
[…]
But that doesn’t mean that you see a non-Muslim from the days before you were Muslim and you have to spit in their face and curse them and doom them to the fire of Hell. You speak to them [and say]: “Hey, how are you doing?” You never know when a person may become a Muslim. You never know.
[…]
Question comes from the U.K. on supporting football matches, soccer matches, things like this – buying their jerseys, going to games, et cetera. As far as buying the jersey, some of the people of knowledge have given rulings that you are not allowed to wear the jerseys upon which are the names of infidels and/or upon which are the names of sinful Muslims.
[…]
So many scholars, some scholars, have passed rulings regarding this as impermissible, and as a means of showing loyalty to them, loving them, imitating them, and being soft towards them. Let alone [the fact that] some of the jerseys may include symbols and icons, regardless of whether it’s a symbol of religion or not, but it’s a symbol or icon of other than Islam.
[…]
I was going to visit a sheikh one day, and as I was crossing the street a bunch of kids were laughing at me and making fun of me from across the street. Some Saudi kids.
[…]
So I greeted them and said: “What are you guys laughing at, what’s so funny?” They said: “Look at your thawb! Where’s the rest of your thawb? Why is your thawb so short?” So I pointed to one of them who had on a soccer jersey. I said: “You’ve got a cross on your shirt. You have a crucifix – are you a Christian?” [They responded:] “Allah forbid, forgiveness from Allah…” [I said:] “So you’re laughing at me for implementing the Sunnah, and you’re wearing a symbol of Christians who hate Muslims and who hate everything about you, your life, your culture, your background, your lineage, and your country.”
[…]
If it doesn’t have a symbol of disbelief and doesn’t have the names of a non-Muslim, then perhaps it is permissible to wear it, whereas if you buy other clothes [such as] designer clothes, you may be supporting homosexuals, as we’ve said, or you may be supporting people that bomb our brothers in Palestine.

If you tell that amUslim he denies it of course : Al Taqiyya !
mortimer says
ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE of HATE = ALLEGIANCE & APARTHEID
“AL WALAA WAL BARAA” is the doctrine of HATE TOWARDS KAFIRS that is authoritative, authentic, essential and compulsory upon all Muslims. “BARAA” means to keep ‘free’ of the dirt of KAFIRS.
This ESSENTIAL teaching of Islamic HATRED directed by Muslims against disbelievers (kafirs) must be faithfully believed AND practised or else Muslims will go to Islamic hell. It is obligatory.
-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.
The HATRED of KAFIRS is POURING OUT OF ISLAM … but Muslims will not honestly say that to dirty KAFIR.
Keys says
40+ seconds in to the video he simplifies al walaa wal baraa – it is “loving the muslims and hating the non-muslims”.
There it is ! (as Emperor Joseph II says in the movie “Amadeus”)
J D.S says
If this guy is supposed to be a cleric of islam from what he is saying heaves dumb as dirt and his followers are in the same class…most of what he is saying is so mixed up that one can only understand only one thing of what he is saying and that is …Muslims should hate all who are not Muslim.
Terry Gain says
Andrew Scheer is pandering to Muslims (and ever other minority group). He seems determined to throw the election handed to him by Trudeau. I am going to write to him and ask why he hasn’t acknowledged that this is the 1409 anniversary of the creation of ancient Arab tribe known as Al Walaa Wal Barra.
Westman says
If you listen carefully the cleric says that the association with unbelievers is, “word games”, in other words, deceit.
mortimer says
Yes, well noted. PRETENSE OF BEING ‘FRIENDLY’.
Muslims PRETEND to be friends with kafirs to deceive them into complacency. Meanwhile, Muslims HATE the kafirs and are plotting to subjugate the kafirs, enslave them, colonize them, take their money, their property and ethnically cleanse them.
All salesmen are ‘friendly’, especially salesmen selling flawed goods.
Carol the 1st says
The fact he’s refrained from playing rap music in the background of his “I’m the King of the Castle and You’re the Dirty Rascal” routine adds the crucial hint of Islamic solemnity to his pitch.
Raisin-shaped kufis should be designed for such as he to wear.
Savvy Kafir says
The feeling is mutual I no longer consider any Muslims to be my friends. They are all part of the problem, to varying degrees and in various ways.
mortimer says
The MOTIVE (problem) of Islam is AL WALAA WAL BARAA:

This is the Ultimate Secret Key to Understanding Islam
Terry Gain says
I love it when Muslims lapse into speaking the truth.
Wellington says
Seconded.
Older Canadian says
Terry, so do I love the truth. But it really unfortunate, for all of us, that the majority of westerners are not listening.
elee says
ISIS has never lied to me.
Wellington says
That’s grimly funny, elee. Good one.
gravenimage says
To all above who applauded Muhammad Ibn Muneer for at least telling the truth, I *very much* doubt that he ever wanted the ‘filthy Infidels’ to get their hands on these videos.
He runs “Mufti Q&A”. He even has a short video entitled, “What is Mufti Q&A about and what is its intended audience”
https://www.muftiqa.com/aboutus/
He specifically says that his intended audience is Muslims who want to live more Islamically.
Yes, these videos are available on-line–but we still really have Memri to thank for getting the truth out here.
Wellington says
Probably so, gravenimage, but it just makes it all the more delicious when a Muzzie is unmasked, conveying what Islam really intends, as opposed to the BS about Mo’s creed being a religion of peace and tolerance.
Joss says
Particularly, Old Canadian, our western politicos’re not listening – or, if they are, they’re closing their eyes and their minds to the truth. Like Pilate, they’re afraid of Mucklim violence in the streetd.

New York: Muslim cleric says non-Muslims “are not your friends, and are not allowed to be treated as your friends”
…………………………
This is, of course, mainstream Islam. And he mentions Al-Bara Wal-Wala, which is also orthodox Islam–that Muslims should hate Infidels.
The only real reason he gives for being nice to non-Muslims is that they may be3 enticed to convert to Islam.
icdsx says
It’s weird… Jeovah Witnesses do pretty much the same thing! THey are nice to you so you convert to their religion… mmmmmmmm
FYI says
“muslims should hate non-muslims” says the “holy” muslim man
{..two of whom would be needed to be sold by his “prophet” muhammed (see Sahih Muslim 3901) given the exchange rate of muhammed’s time…}
allah’s Greatest Command:
“Belief in allah and jihad is his cause”
Muslim 1:149
allah{the “BEST of deceivers” k3;54}the islamic,pagan Arab god of hate and violence.
allah with his Doctrine of HATE{Al walaa wal baraa}for ALL non-muslims.
{No need for any Golden Rule or those essential Two Chief Commandments in islam!}
VERSUS
“Love one another” the 2nd Chief Commandment Lev 19:18
“the WHOLE LAW of Moses and all the prophets DEPEND on these two{LOVE}Commandments”
Matthew chpt 22 v 37-40
These 2 chief laws are found in the Torah and the Gospel:not in islam or its koran!remember that these are God’s Two Chief laws but the savage muslim god doesn’t subscribe to them.
“Do for others what you want them to do for you:that is the MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets”
Matthew 7 v 12
That’s the Golden Rule:it is MISSING in islam of course…
Doctrine of Love{based on 2 chief laws and amplified by the Gospel}
..and so we see “allah” the pagan,savage,demonic Arab god of the muslims COMPLETELY MISSED THESE SUPREME LAWS OF GOD..
Note too that allah’s Greatest Enemy is a man.. called MALIK AL AMLAK {“The King of Kings”}{Revs 19v 16}.Jesus Christ…
{sahih muslim vol 5 hadith #5611}
It is not hard to differentiate between the Actual Judeo-Christian Biblical God of LOVE and the fake islamic koranic allah {“the BEST of deceivers k3:54},the pagan Arab, demonic god of HATE with his false mass-murdering{Abu Dawud 4390} BLACK SLAVE TRADING{Sahih muslim 3901} pederast “prophet” and his plagiarized,commandment-of-God violating koran.
It just requires a little Wisdom: such wisdom would be lost on the NY muslim “cleric”.. along with the IRONY of having as his “prophet” a man who owned,bought and sold BLACK people into slavery{2 for the price of one!Sahih muslim 3901},a “prophet” of whom it was said that the WORST POSSIBLE INSULT
was..”Whoever says the prophet was BLACK is killed.The prophet was NOT BLACK”{Ash shifa} and a religion for whom the devil is.. a BLACK man{Ibn Ishaq pg 243}
I’m sorry but if you are black and you convert to a religion whose “prophet” is a WHITE slave trader in BLACK people,you are a complete imbecile…it doesn’t get much dumber then that.
icdsx says
Very well said
elee says
FYI: good post right up to the very end, IMHO and all. Be aware that ignorance is not the same thing as imbecility. Ignorance can be cured. Ignorance is a condition which Muslims work very hard to maintain in others, like for example when they quote the verse about “no coercion in religion” knowing full well it has been abrogated. It’s got a technical term—taqiyyah—-in Islam. Hey sons and daughters of Africa, wherever you live: if you’d like to learn some about Islam, and also about some folks to idolize……Google “Zanj Rebellion” and settle in for some background and history. Oh and don’t expect you local Muslims to be eager to talk history if you bring this up. Or you could just ask what Muslims are doing today in Darfur or Libya.
Indiana Tom says
non-Muslims “are not your friends, and are not allowed to be treated as your friends”
OK by me.
No Muzzies Here says
We knew that. If only those bleeding heart liberals would realize that this is what Muslims think of us. They are not our friends. They are using us.
icdsx says
They will ONLY realize it when they will be about to take their last breath when the muslims will be cutting off their heads. Liberals ARE NOT my friends either. I gave up on those also. They are the ‘domestic enemy’.
OLD GUY says
News Flash I do not want this clown as a friend. This guy Muneer (sounds like something a cow dropped) thinks he is important, when he is actually a vary small fish. He can spout his garbage about how great Islam and the teaching of Muhammad on are liberal media and it makes him fell important.
My question for Muneer is if he dislikes Americans so much why not pack his bags and go back to a Muslim country where all this love is. Oh wait I forgot he is taking advantage of us in accordance with the teachings of Muhammad. He is also bringing the jihad to our shores.
icdsx says
Ahaha… so true! He looks kinda weird and scarry! I might have to pray for him but nowhere Jesus ever said in his Bible that I HAVE to be friends with any muslims.. I can pray for their sould and their salvation but that’s about as far as I can go.
