Saharanpur mosque demolition illegal, unconstitutional: Naeem Qureshi

as Allah’s property in perpetuity, so razing it is an affront to that endowment. The Koran condemns those who “forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of Allah” and strive for their ruin (Koran 2:114) and reserves mosques for those who believe in Allah and the Last Day (Koran 9:17–18). Waqf itself is fixed by the Hadith of Umar: make the land inalienable and give its yield in charity; “it is not to be sold, given as a gift, or inherited” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2737; Sahih Muslim 1632).

to Islamic lawful and forbidden. The Koran forbids pork and carrion and blood (Koran 2:173; 5:3) and says not to eat that over which Allah’s name has not been pronounced (Koran 6:121). Once a non-Muslim kitchen accepts those rules, the next demands—prayer space, calendar, dress—follow the same path. The religion with Allah is Islam (Koran 3:19); dietary capture of a state school is not the caliphate, but it is how a minority rule becomes the public default, one tray at a time.

Four days before 9/11, an ominous warning about Islamism’s growing influence emerged at the UN
New York Post · September 7, 2026
CSPII Commentary: Reasons for Islamic Jew-hatred are the following: the Koran says, “Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews
...more
and the idolaters” (Koran 5:82) and forbids taking Jews and Christians as allies (Koran 5:51); later law commands fighting People of the Book “until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low” (Koran 9:29). Hadith carries the same enmity into the end-times: “The Hour will not be established until you fight the Jews…” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2926; Sahih Muslim 2922). All together, Islamic primary doctrine contains more than 9% of anti-Jewish text.

Mayoral candidate Nithya Raman makes her pitch to Muslim voters at the Islamic Center of of Southern California
uscannenbergmedia.com · September 6, 2026
CSPII Commentary: The doctrine behind the demand that Muslims not remain under Kafir authority is older: “Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the
...more
believers” (Koran 4:141), and believers are told not to take Jews and Christians as awliya (guardian) rather than the believers (Koran 5:51; cf. 3:28, 4:144). Classical law treats rule by non-Muslims as a condition of weakness to be endured or reversed, not as the proper end-state. Appointment to commissions is the soft form of that claim: raise Islamic power inside a Kafir system until the system no longer rules them.
