And shows the contempt Islamic groups have for the politicians they bribe.
Last month, Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations revealed that the “Fiqh Council of North America issued a legal ruling (fatwah) in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America” that allowed Muslim charitable contributions or Zakat to be used for political donations. Sperry estimated that this could unlock a “potential political war chest of more than $140 million a year in mosque and other donations” for pro-Islamic candidates.
While the political implications of that ruling are quite significant, what is revealing is the basis on which the ruling was made. The Fiqh Council based this ruling on the precedent of “mu’allafah qulūbuhum” which is translated as “for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith”. The specific application of this lay in the past when Mohammed was just beginning his conquests and bribed various tribal chieftains to become Muslims or to ally in his reign of terror.
The Fiqh ruling states that this was done “during a crucial and sensitive time after the Conquest of Mecca” to keep non-Muslims, ”from coalescing amongst themselves and uniting to attack the Muslims” and emphasizes that “those who were given were not Muslims at this stage.” Yet.
The basis for Muslim political donations in the United States, is preventing non-Muslims from “coalescing amongst themselves and uniting” to defend themselves. This isn’t civic participation: it’s the tribal divide and conquer politics of the origins of Islamic colonialism and imperialism.
The same old conflicts that Islamized the Middle East are now playing out in America.
The Fiqh Council’s chairman, Yasir Qadhi, operates out of the highly controversial East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and while serving as its public face has met with members of Congress, and has praised Islamic candidates like Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar and Abdul El-Sayed.
Muzammil Siddiqi, another Fiqh Council member, had called for Islamizing America, arguing, “I believe that as Muslims we should participate in the system to safeguard our interest and try to bring gradual change for the right cause, the cause of truth and justice. We must not forget that Allah’s rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction.”
Politicians from Joe Biden to Bernie Sanders to Rep. Ro Khanna have appeared at ISNA events without likely understanding the contempt that their hosts have for them. When they receive political donations, they’re being bribed, in the words of the Fiqh ruling, that allows giving Zakat to “non-Muslims for whom giving zakat helps in repelling their evil from Muslims.”
What do the Islamists giving political donations think of them? The Fiqh ruling argues that Zakat or charity may be diverted to “non-Muslims, or to those of questionable personal character, when that secures a general benefit for the Muslim community.” The contempt that the Fiqh Council has for America and Americans is almost as great as the contempt that the politicians who take their money have for themselves by allowing Islamic groups to bribe them.
This ruling is controversial within Islamic theocratic law because many Muslim jurists argue that such bribery was a temporary response by Mohammed until he and his successors became powerful enough to subjugate and terrorize everyone in the region into submitting to Islam. And there is no “mu’allafah qulūbuhum” now that Muslims are strong and feared worldwide.
The question of whether Zakat can be used to bribe American politicians is largely strategic.
What’s the long-term future? The Fiqh ruling cites the precedent that “the Prophet gave to a group of non-Muslims solely to minimize their criticism against Islam; and that Abu Bakr gave to non-Muslims in his caliphate; but in the reign of Umar, he decided that there was no longer any need in his time to do so.” To understand the historical context here, Abu Bakr had been expanding into Iraq and Syria, while Umar conquered them, as well as Israel, Egypt and parts of Armenia, while assailing the Byzantine and Persian empires. The bribes are only needed to divide and conquer non-Muslims until the point where Muslims have gained power over them.
Islamic leaders see this as being as true in America as it was for them in the Middle East.
Koran 9:60’s idea of using Zakat to bribe non-Muslims operates within the larger context of the jihad against non-Muslims. It begins with Mohammed and Allah declaring that non-Muslims were doomed, that any treaty with them was temporary and ordered Muslims to, “kill the infidels wherever you find them.” (This quote from Koran 9:5 has been used by Al Qaeda and other jihadist groups.) Only those non-Muslims who convert to Islam will be safe. While Islamic apologists have claimed that this only applies to ‘pagans’, subsequent verses make it clear that it applies to Jews and Christians (“They have taken their rabbis and their priests as lords instead of God, as well as the Messiah son of Mary” – Koran 9:30) and the Muslim mission is to “make it prevail over all religions” including Christianity and Judaism.
The Fiqh ruling also raises certain ‘mosque and state’ legal issues.
Under United States election and tax law, there is a legal separation between organizations that engage in lobbying and especially for PACs that donate to candidates, and between non-profits and religious groups. However, the Fiqh ruling asserts that “individuals should not decide by themselves which candidates and causes are worthy”, but that “reputable institutions” composed of “diverse groups of scholars” should “collect and distribute zakat funds on behalf of the body of Muslim in any locality or country” for “influencing political causes”.
These institutions would function in the role of Mohammed (“the category of ‘al-mu’allafah qulūbuhum’ has always been the purview of the walī al-amr – the leader of the community”) and (a “group of trusted scholars and reputable specialists will effectively take on the role of a walī al-amr in order to decide which politicians to hand out ‘zakat’ to”). What that means is that a Sharia system of Islamic scholars would centrally direct the flow of money to politicians for the sake of the Ummah or Muslim community. Individual Muslims might donate the money, but they would not be in a position to decide whom to donate money to. This ‘crosses the streams’ of religious and political institutions and would likely violate tax-exempt and election regulations.
But that’s not even the biggest problem with this proposed Islamic financial political coup.
A Sharia-backed Islamic theocracy would in effect be trying to select American elected officials.
This is a massive violation of the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If successful, it would create an Iranian system in this country in which Islamic clerics would control puppet legislatures and executives who would be directed by a shadow Sharia regime.
Muslim PACs previously claimed that they were just people representing their communities. The Fiqh system pulls back the curtain to show a central body of Islamic scholars trying to use money to control the outcome of American elections for “benefitting the Ummah” (meaning the global Muslim community’s local or foreign interests) “either in one’s own country or locality (such as countering a clearly anti-Muslim politician with an agenda of harm) or internationally.”
Any politician taking money routed through this method would be acting as a puppet for an Islamic theocracy which would be using them to covertly exert its control over Americans.
It’s hard to think of anything more un-American than a foreign theocracy hijacking our elections.
Wellington says
Proving again that while all other major religions are compatible with democracy and freedom, Islam most certainly is not. Islam is supremacist and totalitarian and is a mortal enemy of so much that is valued by so many who are not Muslim (though of course many non-Muslims fail to realize this).

Wellington, thats the truth and most don’t want to see it.
Billy says
Stop Public Funding of Islam and its Organizations for their Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting Muslim discrimination, segregation, Islamic Law, violence, and terrorism against Non-Msulims which are against the USA Constitution and Western Constitutions! Like in Britain and Europe, Islam’s Muslims must impose Sharia to gain more taxpayer money, more political power, and more government control. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 commands, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).

Yes sir. 👍.
That is comment of the week. It’s all about free stuff at the end of the day and political power is needed to demand free stuff.
To put PRCS USN into a burqa one day, that’s real political power.

Sounds illegal in the U.S. against the Laws regarding political donations and from where they come, as well as how much is donated, etc. But, muzzies relish the breaking of the laws they use to further their evil.

“Italy to ban burqa and niqab in schools, cap number of foreign students per class”
“Italy is preparing to ban face-covering veils such as the burqa and niqab in schools and introduce a cap on the number of foreign students allowed in each class, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Sunday.
The measures, which Meloni said would be brought before the Cabinet, link immigration, language skills and integration in schools. She also said parents of foreign students facing serious difficulties integrating into the Italian education system would be required to learn Italian.”

Kepha says
The Johnson Amendment is honored more in the breach than in practice. Nobody ever looked into what Black churches put into various Civil Rights advocacy groups. Now, since, to the Left, Islam is “cool”, its attempts to influence our politics will get a pass. The Johnson Amendment, or sentiments like it, are invoked only when Evangelical churches and other institutions support candidates who know what a woman is or protest against mutilating children behind their parents’ backs in the name of “gender affirmation”.
BTW, Uncle Kepha has a distant relative in Europe. A few years back, he joined the echo chamber attacking Trump. More recently, he has come out in support of the Remigration movement. I couldn’t help posting him to explain that he now understands why Americans voted for Trump.

This is why the U.S. needs to deport Islamists. The U.S. needs to get rid of Islam being a religion. Start taxing all Islamic businesses. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Concerning the agenda of certain Muslim clerics along with the stealth jihadist organizations which is the Muslim Brotherhood m and CAIR as well as ISNA gaining more and more control and power across then United States through the stealth jihad.
A former Muslim had revealed that ”Jihad is carried out in order to achieve the ultimate goal of Islam – to establish Islamic authority over the whole world. Islam is not just a religion; it is a government too. ” [1]
Those stealth jihadists who have infiltrated the different branches and levels of the United States government , both Federal and State, by the method of the sly and subtle as well as disingenuous non-violent methods of the goal of advancement of Islam with its Sharia in the US , by the means what is known and called the “Stealth jihad.” By this technique, the Muslims who are the stealth jihadists are able to infiltrate the United States, and gradually, “inch by inch” and likewise “step by step.” Further, archive progression for their Islamic agenda for the advancement of Islam and to establish Sharia in the United States in place of the US Constitution.
To put this in another way, with America they would like to, if they can, enact Sharia as the law land instead of the US Constitution. Realistic or not, this is their objective.
To this end the stealth jihadists will and do use the Islamic of Taqiyya, which the modus operandi of speaks and printing lies that are very deceptive.
As explained in a more detail by a former Muslim and Hezbollah member who now a Christian .In his book he reveals” Lying, treachery and deception became Islam’s key tactics in conquering others. Those tactics are gathered in a doctrinal statement called “Taqiyya” which is one of the most effective arms for the spread of Islam. It means “Holy Deception” which means the use of every lie you can in order to spread Islam or to win the war against the enemy.” [2]

About those specific Muslim clerics who are very active for the advancement of Islam and its Sharia, along with jihad organizations as the MB, CAIR and ISNS. There methods insidious methods to infiltrate of the United States government both dangerously subversive to the US Constitution which those stealth jihadists in that the insidious stealth jihads efforts replace the US Constitution with Islam’s Sharia is somethings that all patriots American need to and should aware of
This Islamic takeover of the city of this, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
Troybeam says
Fiqh Council, changing the wording to make people think it is not a legal system.
Council really means court, sharia court.
Constitution states the Constitution is the law of the land and no other legal system is to operate within, this is where our government has failed and allowed Islam to grow and prosper within.
Between Islam and China within America’s borders and nothing being done to protect America and its citizens by the government past and current years leaves the nation open to a internal civil war, no wonder democrats want to take away our right to protect our nation and ourselves, they have been working to destroy our nation. they have yet to realize they are pawns in the game and first to die.
