Jihad by immigration is a longtime war method that Muslims use, as well as armed jihad, stealth jihad and taqiyya (dissimulation).
“Whoever emigrates for the sake of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoever forsakes his home, a refugee for Allah and his messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is then obligatory upon Allah. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (Qur’an 4:100)
By whatever means, Islam has a history and doctrine of conquest. As Muslim numbers rise, so does the strength of the jihad.
Dar al Harb, the House of War, is non-Muslim territory, regarded in Islam as to be conquered. Once it is conquered, it becomes Dar al Islam, ie. the House of Islam. In accordance with the Sharia/directives of Muhammad, the goal of Islam is a global caliphate.
Both Iran and Turkey have been open and brazen about seeking a global caliphate. This is not surprising, as Islamic doctrine is clear about conquering in the way of Allah.
“Let those who sell the life of this world for the next fight in the way of Allah. Whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, on him we will bestow a great reward.” (Qur’an 4:74)
“When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” (Quran 8:12)
A man asks Muhammad “which of men is the best?” Muhammad replies that it is the man who is always ready for battle and flies into it “seeking death at places where it can be expected.” (Sahih Muslim 20:4655)
The words of Muhammad: “I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.” (Sahih Bukhari 52:54)
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
As Fernandez states: “migration is already being used as part of a hybrid war and not just in the Mediterranean.” It has long been used. It is one strategy in a global war of conquest.
“MEMRI Vice President Amb. Alberto M. Fernandez Interviewed By ‘The European Conservative’ News Outlet: ‘Migration Is Already Being Used As Part Of A Hybrid War,’” MEMRI, October 24, 2025:
MEMRI Vice President Amb. Alberto M. Fernandez spoke to news outlet The European Conservative in an interview published on October 18, 2025, discussing African jihadi groups’ growing focus on killing local Christians, its potential implications for Europe as it faces mass migration.
Alberto Fernández is a Cuban-American former diplomat and journalist. From 2007 to 2009, he served as Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan. He was then appointed U.S. Ambassador to Equatorial Guinea, serving from January 2010 to 2012. Following that, he served until 2015 as the Coordinator of the State Department’s Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC), an initiative established to counter the propaganda of Al-Qaeda and its affiliates. Fernandez is currently vice president of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
“Africa is a land of opportunity for jihadism,” you wrote in one of your articles. Why?
You have poor governance and wide-open spaces. You have societies with ethnic and religious fissures, poverty, corruption, security forces that are too brutal or too incompetent, or both. Jihadists also take advantage of and partially absorb existing networks of criminality—bandits, smugglers, poachers.
Jihadist groups are divided and often fight among themselves, yet killings of Christians are becoming increasingly common. What fuels these groups? Who is behind jihadism in Africa?
Targeting Christians is something that unites them all, and that is, of course, grounded in a Salafi-jihadist view of the Other, who is to be killed, expelled, or subjugated. There are plenty of traditions, history, and religious justifications within Islam (in the Quran itself) for the slaughter of “the infidel.” While such extreme views are held by a minority of Muslims, it is not an insignificant number. In 2015, Pew Research did a poll on the unpopularity of ISIS in Muslim countries and found, for example, that in Nigeria “only” 14% of those polled had a positive view of the Islamic State. But 14% of Nigeria’s population is 30 million people! And that assumes that others didn’t hide their pro-jihad views in such a poll. The number of those (and similar numbers were recorded elsewhere in Africa, in Senegal and Burkina Faso) who maybe disliked the group but somewhat agreed with parts of their message would logically be even larger, even if still a minority.
A recent ISCAP (Islamic State’s Central Africa Province) video mixes images of the Crusades (from the movie Kingdom of Heaven) and leaders like George Bush with executions and conversions to Islam. Is this propaganda effective?
It is somewhat effective among the converted, but, of course, most people won’t see it. That is, it is intended for an audience in the region that is self-selected and already somewhat politicized. For example, there are very few Muslims in DR Congo, where ISCAP is fighting, but there are many Muslims on the East African Coast from Somalia to Mozambique. One of the leaders of ISCAP in Congo is actually a Tanzanian Muslim from the coast. ISCAP would like more of these Swahili speakers to join the fight in Central Africa. The propaganda is also intended for a foreign Arab audience—which is still the leadership of the global jihadist movement and which provides funding, guidance, and propaganda support.
So far in 2025, more than 7,000 Nigerian Christians were massacred, and 8,000 more were kidnapped. This amounts to an average of 32 Christian deaths per day. What is happening in Nigeria?
You have jihadist groups loyal to the Islamic State, jihadist groups loyal to Al-Qaeda, and an even larger cadre of Fulani gangs, criminals, and militias—motivated by greed and religion—and all of them targeting a Christian, mostly rural and farming, population that has been mostly disarmed by a state that is incapable of defending them. The situation will continue as jihadists and Fulani militias (the two categories sometimes overlap) continue to push south into Christian areas.
Why do the lives of Nigerian Christians matter so little in Western societies?
The old joke is that they are too Christian for the political Left to care and too African for the political Right to care. The bitter reality is that Africa is, in general, easy to ignore. What is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world today? It wasn’t Gaza or Ukraine. It is Sudan—and yet, it is mostly ignored. And those are mostly Muslims. The West—which was originally, formerly Christian—has a ‘Christian’ problem both at home and abroad. Western elites are overwhelmingly liberal to left-leaning and secular, so the Christian faith, if sincerely and deeply believed, makes them uncomfortable. They have less of a problem with Muslims because they can see them more clearly as ‘the oppressed’ or ‘migrants,’ even though many of these so-called oppressed may be virulently anti-Christian, antisemitic, and anti-liberal.
How is the Trump administration approaching the fight against jihadism in Africa?
Well, in Somalia, one of the countries most threatened by the jihadist offensive in Africa, the Trump administration has quadrupled the number of airstrikes on jihadist targets compared to 2024. Of course, in other African hotspots, like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, these are countries that are relying on military support from Russia rather than the United States.
The rise of jihadist violence could lead to massive population displacements. Is Europe at risk of a wave of mass migration? Could such migration be used as part of a hybrid war?
Europe is exquisitely vulnerable to a new wave of mass migration. The continent is emptying out population-wise, while Africa sees rapid population growth. So, you have, you could say, a neighborhood of emptying houses next door to a neighborhood of houses that are overcrowded and some of which are on fire. You also see, especially in France and Germany and the UK, the rise of Islamo-Leftism, where Muslim migrant populations vote almost exclusively for the Left, and leftist parties depend on them and come to reflect their views. This is what Sánchez in Spain would like to do as well.
Migration is already being used as part of a hybrid war and not just in the Mediterranean….

There is a lot of Truth in what he says. A ‘minority,’ as he points out, is still a huge number.
In actuality, it isn’t a minority, because the rest of the muzzies support by their approval, (none condemn it), even if they say they don’t support one terror group or another.
muzzies want Christians dead or enslaved. Any of them who say otherwise, are either not fully muzzie or they are lying for some *reason.*
At some point, there will not be a safe place for Christians as the muzzies continue to increase in numbers and spread across the planet.
Hoi Polloi says
All true.

Allah is merciful to those Muslims who emigrate and perform jihad, war against Non-Muslims to make Islam supreme, against Non-Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 8:74 says, “And those who believed and emigrated and performed jihad for the sake of Allah, and those who gave asylum and helped, those are the true believers; they will receive forgiveness and generous provisions.”
ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, AHISTORICAL, DECEITFUL, MILITARISTIC, AND POLITICAL against the USA Constitution and Western Laws to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims using MUSLIM-TERRORIST-CRIMINAL-GANG ENTERPRISES with ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and with CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA from Islam’s Qur’an to make Islam supreme(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, 16:106, etc.).
Allah affirms Non-Muslims as enemies of Allah. Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels[Non-Muslims] were your clear enemies.” Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.
Islam is a delusional fraud because there is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO Qur’an in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim Standard Islamic Narrative claims; the Deceitful House of Islam is founded on propaganda, lies, intimidation, and deceit where Islam’s 1400-year traditions are based on fallacy and myth including a more than 300-year gap with no documented history. Hence, NEVER give money to Islamic Countries, Islamic Organizations, Mosques, Islamic Schools, etc. because your are funding your ultimate destruction. Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence.
Muslims are to be terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Again, Islam is a FACTITIOUS IDEOLOGY and CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION despicably fabricated over time into the 21sth century, and there is NO PEACE only genocidal obliteration with Islam and its deceitful Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 8:39: 9:5, 29, 111; 11:119; 32:13, etc.).
ALLAH claims MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, its Organizations, etc. are Terrorist-Criminal Enterprises with hatred and enmity against all Non-Muslims as totalitarian Islam islamizes the society with impunity(Qur’an 5:14; 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). As taught from Islam’s Qur’an, Islam should be banned for its incitement, funding, and promotion of violence, terrorism, hatred, human trafficking, and discrimination against women, children, and Non-Muslims.
Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.

Problem is Western leaders who somehow refuse to see this as a tactic in a war
OLD GUY says
The migration invasion Is the perfect no shots fired invasion of another country. Now throw in large sums of muslim dollars to political leaders and you have the perfect take over of another society and country.
Westman says
Throughout the earth the most constant human behavior seems to be conflict itself.
Unlike the animals, we are not programmed to fight for additional reproductive rights though, historically, we have often followed that pattern with polygamy and harems. Islam appears to be the last bastion of that barbaric behavior, perhaps because it is also the last culture which praises conquest and the collection of booty as a religious function.
As a Gedankenexperiment can we think of any other configuration which would create more strife than Islam being 50% and only 50% of every nation on earth? 40%, 30%, 20% ?
We know Islam has a goal of becoming 100% of populations and the rest slaves, dependents, or dead. But wait…. it can’t be 100% if there are still infidels it controls. If other citizens, within a nation, are unwilling to resist, what percentage of Islamists is necessary for control?
Where is that line, between tolerating Islam and government’s suppression of all opposition, when it is too late and a nation is absorbed? If Islam holds all of government power are the infidels then dhimmys?
tgusa says
WW1 was different than WWII and WW3 will be a new and exciting experience. A war in which there are tens of thousands of civil wars happening not across a country but in city after city all over the place. Lovely. The muslims have to go but the menace within needs to be eradicated as well.
Alkflaeda says
This is also exactly what was done by Muslims to undermine the Balfour Declaration. Western democracies were not ready to endorse the Islamic doctrine of Waqf, by which territory conquered by Muslims belongs to Islam in perpetuity, and so were born the “indigenous” Palestinians, whose land was “stolen”. Making migrants indigenous is Islam’s sole miracle.
