Ragab Abdelmoneim is not an “extremist.” He is simply reflecting the teaching of the Qur’an, which calls on believers to wage violent jihad: “Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have an injury, are not equal with those who wage jihad in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah has conferred on those who wage jihad with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary. Allah has promised good to each, but he has bestowed on those who wage jihad a great reward above that of the sedentary, degrees of rank from him, and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (Qur’an 4:95-6)

“‘Sacrifice their blood for the sake of Allah’: Former Huntsville Islamic Academy imam, UAH part-time lecturer calls for bloodshed to spread Islam,” by Austen Shipley, 1819 News, June 29, 2026:
A past imam at Huntsville’s Islamic Academy and, according to a university source, former part-time lecturer at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), is demanding Muslims “sacrifice their blood” to spread Islam throughout America.
Ragab Abdelmoneim, the academy’s first full-time imam, began his religious career as a cleric at the Liverpool Islamic Academy in 2009. In 2013, after teaching and graduating from Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, Abdelmoneim relocated to the academy in Huntsville….
In a now widely circulated video on social media, Abdelmoneim called for Muslims to expand Sharia law by any means necessary, including through bloodshed.
“We need to…have some people to love their religion and to sacrifice for their religion, sacrifice their money and their blood and their wealth for the sake of Allah,” Abdelmoneim said in the message….
“Corrupt and wicked politicians, leaders, and officials, they propagate and perpetuate this kind of hatred in their discourse, in their rhetoric, in their communication in the media, just to demonize and to put people down and to stigmatize Muslims and minorities,” argued Abdelmoneim….
“The [American people] developed a lot of attitudes, including hatred, animosity, against the Muslim Ummah, against the community, and against Islam itself…You can see what happened to our brothers and sisters in Dallas. They have a project, and they have a lot of challenges, legal challenges, because it will be the Sharia area,” added Abdelmoneim.
As part of a separate message, he pushed Muslims to follow their religious commandments and “stand against” non-believers in the United States.
“Allah told us about how to protect yourselves from their thinking, how to expose their plans and their plotting, how to be against them and stand against those people.”
Abdelmoneim is now the Imam and “Resident Scholar” at the Islamic Center of Maryland, but retains connections to the Huntsville area through UAH.

You simply cannot trust these people. America better wake the F up before it’s too late. Time to prepare to defend ourselves against this Islamic menace.
janet says
These people need to be removed from the USA, He does not believe in freedom or the
Constitution, Terrorist is the best name for his ilk.
somehistory says
Supposedly he grew up in AL, but his place of birth is not listed…..so he was probably born outside the country.
Send his sorriness someplace else. The slug is preaching murder and takeover of the country.
janet says
I would describe him as Satan or THE DEVIL THAT comes to the USA to terrorize and kill. We need to either kill him or imprison this total man from the evil side of life,
Walter Sieruk says
Those words spoken by that imam in this article is further proof that a person might be very sincere regarding a specific subject but also very wrong. In the situation of jihad terrorism it’s very deadly wrong.
With Islam that brutal cruel bloody vicious massacres inflected on the peaceful Jewish citizens of the State of Israel on October 7th 2023 was very much a spiritual war, that is a deadly spiritual toxin of the demonic false religion of Islam ,which has its entire foundation based on the Qur an ,which instructs devout Muslims in Surah 47:4.. Whenever you encounter the disbeliever’s strike of the heads until you make a great slaughter among them….”
The terrible reality is that using machine guns and missiles is a more effective way of making a great slaughter among them than a sword can.
Furthermore, the Qur’ an also instructs in Surah 9::123 “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you.”
So ,the Muslim terrorists of Hamas were following the instruction of the Qur’ an in 9:123 by burning infants to death while their still alive and also kidnapping and then raping young girls is showing them harshness.
Those many Islamic atrocities committed by the Muslim terrorists of Hamas on 10/7/23 does greatly expose the extreme foolishness off the idiot statement, which is “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.”
Those malicious and murderous Muslim terrorists of Hamas on that awful day were engaging “spiritual war” based on the supreme religious book of Islam, the Qur’”an . For it really does matter a person believes.
Walter Sieruk says
The statement by that Imam in this article is a very strong reminder that in the charter of Hamas, It reads section E article, Thirty –two one that jihad entity’s reads, “It is the duty of the followers of other religions to stop disputing the sovereignty of Islam in this region.”
That Hamas statement if referring to Christians is wrong and in error because It’s greatly overruled by the Word of God, the Bible which instructs that Christians are to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. , but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11. [N.K.J.V.] So that’s one of the things that the Christian scripture should be used for .Likewise Christians use the Bible for ” reprove and correction” Second Timothy 3:16
Therefore, when understood in the light of the Bible, It’s impossible for the Jewish people who the supreme and legitimate right to a land to have a “illegal occupation of that same land. For God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including What many people call the “West Bank” is by Biblical right and historic rights are the lands of Judea and Samaria.
Furthermore, God had given all that land to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11.
In other words, the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right. Moreover, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
For the Bible informs its reader “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4 [N.K.J.V.]

Well the man is very honest, he just told us they are setting up a sharia zone in Texas. And also, he had zero fear of these so called Alabama patriots. He is telling them we are here to win a war with America. Am I wrong? He’s a conqueror of Alabama. Alabama will probably give him grants and welfare money.

Why doesn’t he offer himself?
abu taleb says
Muhammad has given examples how he asked others to sacrifice for him, therefore muslim elites do the same.
Islam is never about sacrificing oneself for others, it always to get benefits from other people. Islam is just a tool created to oppress and fooled people to get rich and powerful.
Stu says
I would disagree with that. Look at how crazy it was during the Iran Iraq war. People sent their children into the front line. And they were sent to clear land mines…. Rush into suicidal charges.
Tim gallagher says
That’s what I thought, Eddie. Do it yourself, you piece of shit. Go sacrifice yourself and join Allah, Mo and all the other Muslims in hell. It’s time all western countries woke up and kicked all the Muslim scum back to their rotten Muslim sewers where they belong.

Mamdani cuts off the power to Jewish neighborhood-
As New York baked under another summer heat wave, parts of the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, home to a large Jewish community, lost power after Con Edison shut off electricity to protect its equipment.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Imam means leader. Show us all how it’s done. Sacrifice your money wealth and life as a propitiation to your bloodthirsty Allah.
Westman says
That’s the problem now, Imam Ragab Abdelmoneim, you can’t take the Western Infidel’s wealth as booty or his women as sex slaves because it isn’t much of a reward for getting killed or jailed when any Muslim with work skills and desire can earn everything he needs.
Those US kids demonstrating for Palestinians are flakes who would run with all their might from a military draft notice.
You are selling jihad whose sell-by date is expiring. Violent jihad and religious war require the jealousy born in poverty and a sense of victimhood as a motivator, which is in short supply in Maryland. Even Saudi Arabia “ain’t what it used to be” now that every citizen gets a cut of the oil wealth. Those kids out drifting expensive cars in SA streets won’t be chopping off heads or trying to get converts. Their government spreads its Islam in the West with money. It’s the primitives in the ME and Africa who still play the physical conquest game.
The growth of Islam by physical conquest is over. Russia and China have made it clear that they have no fear of Islam and will keep it in check. The US is waking up and its citizens are armed.
