I left Islam 21 years ago, but it is always interesting how many times in that period I have had interesting encounters with Muslims or conversations about Islam. I provide security for a living and had an incident happen Thursday night that reminded me both of my past and the danger being an apostate from Islam poses.
I was made aware by some female residents where I work that there was a black male outside of our building who had made lewd comments to them, as well as violent threats when they walked away. One of the women had encountered the subject, whom I will call “Yusuf,” when she was attempting to return to her vehicle. She was so disturbed by the experience that she returned to the building and requested her friend escort her to her vehicle, where the incident they reported to me occurred. I informed her I would do a walking patrol outside and see if I could locate the subject.
I walked outside and encountered a female guest waiting for her Uber to arrive and was going to ask her if she had seen the subject. As I did so, Yusuf approached me and began to engage me in conversation. He oddly introduced by his full name and made numerous lewd comments about women in front of the female guest. I advised him not to do this or I would contact the police. The woman’s Uber driver arrived, and the subject attempted to proposition her and followed her to the vehicle. I told him to return to the sidewalk, whereupon Yusuf began to rant about how Jesus was merely a man and a prophet, and that I should read the Holy Quran. I informed him I had read it, and he stated it was the answer to all mankind’s problems. I advised him not to harass our residents and he walked away. I contacted the police and wrote my report. Yusuf has a long criminal history with multiple felony convictions. His criminal history goes back to 1984. Since he thinks the Quran is the answer to everything, he is likely familiar with its passages allowing for the sexual use of non-Muslim women, the “captives of the right hand” (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50 and 70:30)
I have been aware since not long after my conversion to Islam how that religion viewed and treated women and those who refused the call to Islam. It is a scary thing to encounter it in the dead of night when you have no backup. But is also is a sobering reminder that we may not see the danger of Islamic jihad terrorism — although this danger is becoming more visible with the antisemitic “protests” and riots that are now taking place around the country — but it is always there as long as Muslims take their faith seriously. Let this encounter be a reminder to all to be observant and resolved to face one of the greatest enemies the world has ever faced. We ignore it or downplay it at our own peril.

‘Convert to Islam says Qur’an is the answer to all of mankind’s problems’…….but not womankind’s – that last bit’s in small print, like a lot of other things in the ‘Holy Qur’an’, the door-to-door salesman’s excuse for a ‘religion’..
OLD GUY says
And there is NO such thing as a moderate Islamic followers, they all support Islam and its demonic teachings through financial contributions to their mosque and their silence about the violence and abuse of WOMEN and young GIRLS in islam.
Robert Burke says
I have a friend who is Christian and grew up in pakistan, he said it was horrible, he and his family were literally hunted, and he said “They ALL read the same book”
islam seems to be a religion that is based on sating the desires of scumbag men who abuse others especially women.
I have no use for islam and consider it a mind virus that needs to be irradicated
Athmanathan Seetharaman says
I have a doubt. Suppose a young Muslim man enters another Muslim’s house when there are no male members present and confronts a woman there with intent to assault sexually. Will he get any punishment if caught? Because he can always claim immunity saying women are our slaves!
bagsgroove says
The devil does try its worst to conquer humanity. But he will never win !
Ray Jarman says
Good point Bagsgroove and if I may, I would like to add the following passage from John the Revelator: “The second coming of Jesus Christ refers to the historical, visible, and bodily return of the Son of God to the earth. This return will be a great and glorious return in power. It will take place at the end of the tribulation period (Rev 6–18), and the millennial kingdom will immediately follow (Rev 20:1-6).
I don’t think that the day is that far away as we fall deeper into the mire of evil that is becoming more prevalent as time passes.
Were I a disc jockey, I would open ever segment with the Hank Williams song, “I Saw the Light” and close with Il Divo’s “Amazing Grace.”
somehistory says
Ray, Jesus was asked for a “sign” so we would know when He was about to return. He gave the sign of ‘earthquakes, famine, war and reports thereof, increasing lawlessness…and near the end of what He told us, He said, “And then the Sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven….and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation.”
We have been seeing unending war, and hearing reports thereof (Rev. 6 applies here), famine all across Africa, earthquakes in many places…just today one in NJ…and certainly the increasing lawlessness.
Soon, we will see “the Sign of the Son of Man.” Jesus’ return is imminent.
Bteboe says
I will never convert to any religion that relegates half of their population to second class citizens and still believes in slavery. Islam is a scourge on the planet and should be completely abolished.
Tatanka says
Not just abolished ,but completely eradicated like the vile disease it is to body and soul of everyone infected with it.
maria says
islam is not a religion.
It is satanic lie that wants all people to be dead.
It must be forbidden and destroyed in order to save mankind but no muslims
somehistory says
islam is a religion. Religion doesn’t have to be true and good to fit the definition of the word.
mozlums worship a false and evil god, a fake and evil prophet and a book of demonic filth. It therefore is a religion.
somehistory says
Every mozlum is a danger to others. Those *devout* or those who have not yet come to be more than a frequent visitor to the local barracks (because if not, he’s in trouble with the rest of the army of islam thugs) are each a walking time bomb of trouble.
Something may set off he less devout; it takes nothing to set off the others.
Non-mozlums who harass a woman when finding one alone, would be more likely to leave when another male intervenes. mozlums feel they have a *right* to harass, molest and even rape and are less likely to just walk away, even when threatened with police action.
Thanks for the reminder. Everywhere mozlums are, there is danger of this sort.
rick says
Yusuf is a black male who uses the Koran for his own sick thoughts about women he sees in public. The Koran however does give him a leg up on the subject of women. Both Yusuf ( without Islam) and Islam ( without Yusuf) is not a friend of females. However Yusuf without his Islam hates women and probaby white males as well. A sick man grasping onto a sick religion.
Tony Rice says
What would appeal to misogynists and paedophiles?
gravenimage says
Islam!
Walter Sieruk says
In this article two things need to be made clear . The first is that claim made by the man who was proselytized to Islam ,when he said that “the Qur’an is the to all to mankind’s problems.”
In reality when understanding a statement under the hard light of logic and reason, which is foreign to the Muslim world. Anybody can make a statement that is a claim about anything or anyone . Proving that claim to be valid and true and not invalid and false is something else entirely.
Second, but not less important is the misogyny of Islam . That reason why that same Muslim male who made that claim mistreats women is explained by a scholar of Islam who revealed in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, pages 171,172.

A few funny things about the holey koran
1.It is not perfectly preserved.Every koran should have a sticker on the front saying “contents may vary”
2.allah’s claim that he is “the knower of ALL things” koran 2:29 is demolished by the errors which reveal an amazing lack of omniscience especially koran 5:116 where allah insists MARY is one of the 3 gods Christians worship.That’s not very omniscient of alah who knows ALL things is it?
3.muslims praying in public?Why?”To be seen of men” which allah says is HYPOCRISY
koran 4:142
so when you see muslims praying in Public they are proving to allah and us infidels that they are hypocrites.
Why not pray in a mosque?Too busy showing off…so they are “mindful of allah but little”
4.allah says he gave the “scripture” to Moses{and confirms the Torah koran 3:3}but he FORGOT the contents of that scripture:The Law of Moses.
5 allah tells muhammed to consult the BIBLE folk if he has any questions koran 10:94.
If muslims check the Bible they see that islam is false and has no future.
Why do you think the Bible is banned in islamic countries?
Westman says
The Quran is the solution to the financial problems of Imams and Muslim terrorist groups, everywhere.
Pray Hard says
LMAO. Islam isn’t the answer to anything except to fill an empty space in the mind of an insane and or evil and or ignorant person.
tim gallagher says
islam is nothing but a totally evil, hate-filled load of bullshit. Everything about islam, starting with those calls for Muslims to go out and kill the hated non-believers, is extremely evil. It is a load of bullshit that was made up by a bunch of degenerate, barbaric scumbags and they made up a vicious, evil version of what god is that would allow them to go on living the evil lives they enjoyed so much. Anyone who says that islam, which really needs to be banned because it is full of so much evil, is the answer has to have a sick, very evil mind. A person might just as well say that Nazism is the answer to mankind’s problems. You truly do need to have shit for brains, or be incredibly evil, to say either of those two evil ideologies are the answer to anything. Mankind would be a thousand times better off without either islam or Nazism. Only knuckle dragging primitives, not enlightened, civilised human beings would have anything to do with islam.
James Lincoln says
You certainly don’t mince words, tim.
Spot on post.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, and that is the way I see islam, James. I can’t find any redeeming features in islam. That said, I do fairly regularly meet pleasant Muslims although I can’t say that I know them in any depth. They must be Muslims who missed the hate filled message of islam towards all of us non-Muslims. Of course, I suppose that my hatred for islam matches the Muslim hatred for non-Muslims, however, I used to feel pretty mellow about islam and Muslims back before I began to study islam a little and realised how vicious it is. To me, as one of hated non-believers, having a friendly attitude towards islam is about as foolish as a Jew having a friendly attitude towards Nazism. As I watch and get annoyed by all our western countries refusing to wake up to islam’s vile nature, the only sign of hope I see is in the way those wise Hungarians and others refuse to be fooled by islam and also people like Wilders and Zemmour, who tell the truth about islam, AS for my rather ferocious language, I guess I’m a grumpy old man because so many people refuse to face reality. Having been brought up as a Christian of the Catholic variety, my late parents, far better people than I ever have been, would not like my swearing but I don’t think God will be too bothered. I hope that God will forgive my frustration and anger at the people who refuse to wake up to islam’s nature. I feel that almost every non-Muslim should have woken up by now. It ain’t rocket science as the saying goes.
Sabrina says
Tim,
I agree with everything you say. The question is…… when will Americans have the courage to push back against the evil that is Islam. They must all be driven from our nation. There is no place in our Western society for bloodthirsty barbarism.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for your comment, Sabrina. This refusal by so many people to wake up and face unpleasant reality when it comes to islam is a problem in all our western countries. I live in Australia and it is definitely a problem here as far too few people have got the message yet. Countries like France, with 9% of the population being Muslims, seem pretty much too far gone to me though I hope I’m wrong. Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have it right by not letting the Muslims invade to begin with and they have avoided huge problems by having such tough policies. I’m pretty sure that Burma threw its Muslims out and I think that is a wise move. I imagine that the Burmese got sick of the problems muslims always bring to any non-Muslim country
James Lincoln says
All true, tim.
Thanks for your reply.

Good exchange.

Converting to Islam and the Qur’an is the answer to all of men’s problems, and the beginning of all of women’s problems and civilisation’s problems.
Donovan Nuera says
In Paradise, I guess the Koran left out the part that women who gain entrance, if not virginal, are forced to work in the communal laundry room washing all the stained and soiled bedsheets from all the sex the studly guys are havingwith virgins and little boys….for an eternity. Such FUN!!!! (maybe for that reason a veil over the face and nose might be merciful!)
abu taleb says
He probably converts to Islam exactly because Islam allows sexual harrassment to certain women, allows pedophilia, commands to kill and rob non muslims etc.
A lot of muslims know very well what Islam allows but they choose to stay in Islam. Must be because they agree with those, they only wait until the opportunity arises.
FYI says
I have questions ..but allah {“the knower of ALL things”koran 2;29}*has nothing to say.
No sign of any solution to the Reimann HYpothesis:but allah I thought you are the knower of ALL things!
Can you give us a clue?
*allah knows ALL things..well,EXCEPT for..Astronomy,Biology,the Torah’s purpose{despite confirming the Torah in koran 3;3},The Jews{who is Ezra the son of allah? that the Jews follow},Christian Theology[Where does allah get THREE gods jesus the muslim,allah.and ..MARY!}koran 5:116 pickthall..
There is no point asking allah about any of these things:he gets them wrong.allah does not know.
allah suffers from a lack of omniscience.
Donovan Nuera says
When confronted by entitled and stupid younger people who say all religions are the same and “peaceful”, I ask them “Where is the international document that stipulates that a religion has to be “peaceful” or lovey-dovey kumbaya? Is it in Geneva? The UN? The British Museum? The Lourvre?”. I then list various debunked violent religions like the Aztec’s Quetzlcoatl cult, The Thuggees of Kali, Odin-Thor, Roman-Greco, and even west African faiths , such as in Benin, that demanded beheadings of slaves to ensure good harvests. I also ask, “Which religion commands it’s followers to murder apostates?”. “Where is slavery still practiced? Which faith had 120,000,000 African slaves die under bondage since 640 AD?”)They usually then throw invectives like Bigot or “raaaaycist” at me then run away.

Yes–there have been many evil religions–many of which mandated human sacrifice. Islam is not far off.
Walter Sieruk says
In Islamic nations many women have a miserable daily existence because Islam is a religion of brutal cruel oppressive misogyny.
The Bible in Proverbs 15:15 reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched,: [N.I.V.]
Mad Celt says
Islam in a man is worse than racism in a dog.

I think that quote was “…hydrophobia in a dog”. Hydrophobia is another name for rabies, not racism.

Convert to Islam says Qur’an is the answer to all of mankind’s problems, harasses women

Pious Muslims don’t consider this a contradiction, of course.
And good to see Noor Al-Amriki posting again.
