What did anyone expect? The answer to that is obvious: numerous non-Muslims, abjectly ignorant of the texts and teachings of Islam, think that Islam preaches peace and tolerance, because they’ve been taught that it’s “Islamophobic” to suggest otherwise. They will be shocked beyond measure when they discover that Salah Al-Sawy represents the broad Islamic mainstream, as they’ve been thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that the likes of him is only a “tiny minority of extremists.” It is not true, and was never true.
“Texas Sheikh Affirms Jihad, Killing of Civilians, and Stoning of Adulterers,” by Dexter Van Zile, Middle East Forum, October 21, 2026:
A Texas sheikh has been advocating for jihad, legitimizing violence against Israeli civilians, and the stoning of adulterers while receiving great acclaim from Muslim institutions in the United States. The sheikh in question, Salah Al-Sawy, is no small-time extremist, but the secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, a body of Islamic legal scholars that issues religious rulings for Muslims living in the United States. He also serves as president of the Islamic University of North America (also known as Mishkah University) and president of the Medical Center Islamic Society in Houston.
The messages Al-Sawy is promoting can be seen on his Arabic-language fatwa website, Mawsu’at Fatawa al-Sawy (the al-Sawy Fatwa Encyclopedia), which promotes jihad and the stoning of adulterers to his supporters. The rulings, which appear to be published only in Arabic, are not stray remarks. Four of these rulings, posted in 2017 and 2025, indicate that Al-Sawy refuses to condemn violence on principle, including violence against civilians. Two other fatwas indicate that he regards slavery not as a moral wrong that infringes on people’s human rights, but as a practice that brings Muslims into disrepute….
Pro-Jihad Rulings
In one of two rulings dated December 26, 2017, an Egyptian asked whether he was religiously obliged to go and fight in Syria. Al-Sawy praised the man’s “religious zeal” and called jihad “the peak of Islam.” He affirmed that when an enemy attacks Muslim land, the duty to fight spreads “in gradually widening circles” until it covers “the entire land of Islam.” He advised against sending untrained volunteers, but only because they would burden the fighters and give the world grounds to label the battlefields a “meeting place for terrorist organizations.” He called that label a smear used against “anyone who holds firmly to his religion.” Instead, he urged Muslims to give financial, political, legal and media support, as “the field commanders of the jihad” request.
In the other ruling posted on his website on December 26, 2017, a questioner asked why scholars had blessed Osama bin Laden’s jihad against the Soviets but turned on him when he took the fight to America. “Isn’t America like the Russians?” the questioner asked. Al-Sawy did not dispute it. He left bin Laden’s “reckoning” to God and said he hoped for God’s “mercy and pardon” for every Muslim. He then explained that the disagreement with bin Laden “is not over the principle of jihad itself.” It was over errors in judging the conditions, “flawed calculations” and “recklessness in choosing the timing.”
Al-Sawy took a similar position in January 2025, when an Arab citizen of Israel asked him about Palestinians who run over or stab Jews in Israeli neighborhoods. The questioner, a woman, pointed out that the victims “may be innocent” and called the attacks suicidal.
He also declared that “the occupying Jews in Palestine are usurpers,” whether or not they themselves had done anything, since all of them had taken part in “the crime” of expelling Palestinians and therefore need to be punished. “And jihad, my daughter, is not merely a martyrdom operation; for jihad has aims and objectives. If jihad leads to the realization of these objectives, then it is a legitimate jihad,” he ruled. “But if it leads to the opposite—that is, if it brings satisfaction to the hearts of the disbelievers, torments the believers, and enrages their hearts—then it is not a legitimate jihad, and the obligation shifts to preparing for war.”
Stoning Adulterers
In March 2025, Al-Sawy posted a ruling on stoning married adulterers, written in response to young Muslims disturbed by an ISIS video of a woman being stoned. Al-Sawy affirmed that stoning is an established part of Islamic law and said that rejection of it is “known only from the Kharijites,” an early sect most Muslims regard as heretical. His only objection to the ISIS execution was procedural: the group lacked the power of an “established state” needed to carry out such punishments. “Their affair is with God,” he wrote….

I read this last evening or perhaps, this morning when half asleep.
“Group behind failed Long Island Muslim boarding school claims town board caved to Islamophobia suit”
“The group behind a polarizing proposal for a Muslim all-boys boarding school on Long Island said the local town board caved to Islamophobic mob pressure when it did an about-face and killed the plan, a new lawsuit claims.
The United American Muslim Association is asking a New York state judge to overturn the Islip Zoning Board of Appeals’ September ruling, which blocked students from living at the former Catholic boarding school and seminary in Bay Shore, according to court papers filed Thursday. ”

He’s Egyptian born, and obviously lied on his paperwork to first enter the USA. Deportation proceedings should commence immediately.

Agreed, John.

Rhetoric like that is enough to arrest, prison, and deport these people. This is not a religious freedom issue, it clearly is a threat towards violence and civil laws.
somehistory says
There is a law about speech and how it can *cause* a violent response. It may be rarely applied, and it can be little-understood, much like the laws on hearsay…which can be confusing even for attorneys and judges.
Anyway, the law regards someone saying “fighting words” and they are then beaten up. The person saying the “fighting words” can be the one arrested as opposed to the one engaging in assault.
One day, these muzzies uttering …endlessly….their “fighting words” may just go too far.

Islam commands the stoning of adulterers? Really? Every, and I mean every, muslim male who has more than one wife has violated the “thou shall not commit adultery” commandment from the True God. And if a muslim male has sex with a “slave” while married (which probably is still happening), he also commits adultery. Any muslim male who enters into a “mutah marriage” (short term, temporary marriage which allows a man to “legally” commit adultery. Not all muslims believe in that, however) has committed adultery. The false god Allah (or his nutcase prophet) basically denied the very commandment that came from the True God. This shows you how demonic this religion is.

Unfortunately they don’t look at it that way. They can eff nonmuslims and goats till the cows come home and it doesn’t count against them to allah

David–marrying up to four women–and little girls!–at a time is Halal–as is raping and using as many Infidels as sex slaves as possible. This is–nojoke!–characterized as “chaste” when done by Muslim men.
OLD GUY says
Yes and this could come to your neighborhood in America in a very short time. If you love your children and grandchildren NEVER vote for a muslim/islamic follower and close all mosque’s. The mosque is where they indoctrinate and train their young boys to hate and commit jihad against non islamic people.

All grimly true, OLD GUY.

…………………………………………………
But remember, if you have a problem with Shari’ah you are both delusional–after all, no Muslim advocates imposing Shari’ah law, right?–and “Islamophobic”. Who doesn’t love stoning victims to death? sarc/off

Tim gallagher says
This Muslim knuckle dragging, evil scumbag is only saying what almost all Muslim primitives would agree with. Islam is all about dragging all of us back to living the way 7th century Arabs lived their pathetic, barbaric, evil lives. No Muslims should ever be allowed to pollute any civilised, non Muslim country with the evil, inhuman filth they believe. All our countries need to wake up, see how incompatible Islam is with civilised life, and slam the door shut on Muslims. 2026 and these knuckle draggers want to stone adulterers. Totally sickening garbage.
abu taleb says
> He affirmed that when an enemy attacks Muslim land, the duty to fight spreads “in gradually widening circles” until it covers “the entire land of Islam.”
Muslims keep lying. Jihad can be done against non attacking non muslims. Quran says that Muhammad and his goons went to Tabuk for jihad against the non attacking Byzantium. They found no army there, so instead they went robbing the local. Muhammad kept attacking the Arabs eventhough the Arabs did nothing wrong except not wanting to be muslims.
So, muslims can engage some jihad action against any non muslims for the reason not being non muslims. No need for the non muslims to attack muslims.

Deportation is the answer.

Exactly! These are violent, treasonous words. Why aren’t these places monitored and closed down?
Beanso says
Turning to ISIS, he wrote that what is attributed to the group is either fabricated media exaggeration or, if true, “must not be attributed to the religion or the Sharia; Allah and His Messenger are free of it,” and he framed the episode as part of a broader media campaign demonizing Islam. Without using the word, Al-Sawy seeks to discredit numerous irrefutable reports of ISIS’s violence against the Yazidis in Iraq and Syria as expressions of “Islamophobia.”

Making death threats is a capital offense.

KK, it is a *criminal* offence, and should be prosecuted as such. But no–it is not a capital offence.
Troybeam says
A double edge sword: islam will use the Quran’s non violent passages to show they are peaceful and non threat.
the other side of that sword is jihad: Americans need to understand that jihad and the example I use is the violence happening in France, UK, Spain and Italy. All done mostly by the Islamic illegals and those brought in by the government.
Jihad is the simple act of conquering a nation first thru non violence and the violence to submission to sharia law, where Islam takes over everything and the citizens must submit by becoming Muslim and or pay a tax (jiza) and or Islam will kill them. It’s that simple with Islam and the conquering of a nation, look around the world & what do see in the news or state wide news. Electing Muslims into office actually will make the jihad work faster for Islam.
