I was wrong.
I have said it myself, and many of you have said it with me: First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people. But we forgot the Friday people.
The Muslims.
Those who mean harm go after their own first. Before they go after anyone else. Women. Children. Young men. They are hit first and hardest. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. Because they are innocent.
WHO GOES AFTER THEIR OWN? Only one does. He has a name, and it is not Allah, let me be clear.
I know what comes next. Many of you will thunder that they are all the same. That they all do what Allah says. Stop. We have to get ahead of that.
Because let us call it what it is. The ones holding them down sit in power. Regimes and militias. Clerics with guns at their backs. They decide what a woman may wear. What a girl may learn. What a man may believe, and what happens to him if he stops. That is not faith. That is control.
Ask the women in Iran. Ask the girls in Afghanistan who had the school door slammed in their faces. They know who comes after them. It is not us. It is their own rulers.
And it is not only over there. Many have come here, to the West, and still live under political Islam and sharia, right in the middle of our cities. Some of them are radicalized, and they are exactly part of the power I am talking about.
But many are not. Many have no other option. Because they know what it costs to leave. Being cast out. A life where you are hunted by your own if you walk away from the faith.
Try being a young woman who comes home and says she is done with Islam. She wants to let her hair down and marry a Western man. We all know what happens next. I have been in contact with both women and men who took that step. The price was brutal, and few can bear to face it. So they stay. Trapped in an ideology they never chose.
Some will say it is their own responsibility to break free and speak out. But that is exactly the point, and it is why so few do.
Public figures who left live under police protection just to speak against the political law-religion they walked away from. It takes something extraordinary to step forward when you KNOW it can cost you everything.
So we do not wait for them to stand alone. We stand in front of them.
No human being with a heart can look away while political Islam oppresses so many people. We have to help them. And those who deserve to be judged, must be judged.
And YES, many are radicalized and are part of those who oppress the rest. They are not the ones I am talking about sparing. We must do everything to fight them. Because if it becomes the individual Muslim we fight, we become complicit in keeping children and women down. No one with a conscience can live with that.
So this is my call: Listen to your deepest, innermost voice when the anger takes over. I believe the anger is justified toward those who deserve it. But when it starts to judge everyone with the same brush, stop. Keep those people in your thoughts and in your prayers. Anything else is inhuman.
And yes, I know the loudest voices in the comment sections are not the ones I am talking about. The loud and the extreme are the ones keeping everyone else down. Everyone who cannot show the right colors. The quiet ones have no voice. That does not mean they are not there.
LEARN THE DIFFERENCE.❤️🔥
* * I have written this before, and I am writing it again. If you are reading my words and you want out of that captivity, women and men alike, but you do not know how or where to turn: Contact me. If you live in the Western world, and especially if you are a woman trapped in an oppressive, male-dominated world, I know people who work with exactly this, and I can put you in touch with the ones you need. I am here to help you.
And if you live in the Middle East, know this. I am standing right behind you. I will keep telling the world what is happening to you. We here share the responsibility for you taking your freedom back.
Because it is my duty to stand up for people who were stripped of their free will. We were CREATED that way. FREE. IT IS A HUMAN RIGHT. In the Western world, it is yours. In most of the Islamic world, you pay for taking it, by law or by your own family. And whoever tries to take that right from a human being has me to face.🪽
