■ Islamic jihadis, smuggled into the country, are a special concern to the security of the nation.
■ Political Islam, that part of the Islamic doctrine that affects the non-Muslim (Kafir), is inexorably linked to Islamic immigration.
■ The jihadis are following a 1,400 year old ideology, taken from the Koran, the Hadith, Mohammed’s examples, and the Sira, his biography.
■ The migration of Mohammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina is called the “hijra”. In Medina, Mohammed established the political aspects of Islam and created the Charter of Medina which divided Muslims from all others they called Kafirs.
■ With the migration, the jihadis within the Islamic community insinuate themselves into the fabric of the host country, in a well-organized manner, and use jihad (the struggle for the cause of Allah) in all its forms, with the ultimate goal being submission to Mohammed and Allah.
U.S. Migration Problems
The issue of illegal aliens and refugees (1) streaming across our Southern (2) and Northern (3) borders claiming asylum has finally gotten the attention of the U.S. public and media.
Mass migration at the Southern border of the United States has contributed to a breakdown in counterterrorism efforts which endangers our national security. “U.S. Customs and Border Control (CBC) flagged 74,904 illegal migrants nationwide for potentially posing risks to national security between October 2022 and August [2023], according to CBP data …” (4)
Islamic jihadis smuggled into the country are a special concern to the security of the nation. But many of those who pose a danger to our security are not here illegally. Sixty five Afghans, granted refugee status after American troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan in 2021, were found to be “terror risks.” (5)
Earlier in 2023, a group of Uzbeks who requested asylum at the Mexican border, were screened by the Dept. of Homeland Security, and released (6) into the United States, pending a court date. Later this year, US Intelligence officials found that one of the smugglers who brought the Uzbeks across the border had ties to the jihadi group ISIS (1). The Uzbeks have yet to be found.
Uzbeks are classified as “special interest aliens” since Uzbekistan is an Islamic country, and Uzbek jihadis have committed serious crimes in the U.S. (6) In 2017, a 29 year old Uzbek migrant drove a truck into a crowd in New York City, killing eight people and injuring many others. Another Uzbek migrant, who had posted an on-line threat to kill then President Barack Obama in the name of ISIS, was arrested in 2015 and found guilty of terrorism charges.
Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies reported (7) on an interesting migrant shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, a few blocks from the U.S. border. The first Islamic shelter and mosque expressly for migrants, *AlbergueAssabil/Mesquijta Taybah (8)*caters to the special needs of the Islamic community and includes a mosque, a local imam, religious education, Islamic halal food and male/female segregated sleeping facilities.
The migrants can stay for one night or they can live at the shelter for an extended time. They don’t have to answer questions that would disclose their plans, either entering legally as refugees or being smuggled into the U.S.
The migrants arrive each day from all over the Islamic world (9), including Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Somalia and other countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
An Examination of the Political Aspects of the Hijra
Mohammed and his followers settled into a new life in Medina (10). They built a mosque used for community religious practice and education, for political/war strategy gatherings, and armament storage, and a home compound attached to it for Mohammed’s family.
Mohammed became a political figure and was responsible for the Constitution or Charter of Medina (13). The Constitution describes the relationship between the Muslims from Mecca and the Medinan converts, and the Muslims’ relationship with the Jewish tribes and the polytheist Medinan Arabs. The Constitution of Medina functioned as a basis of law and governance and gave Mohammed power over the non-Muslims.
The Constitution of Medina said that the Muslims are one community, the Umma, to the exclusion of all other men. For instance, they could be friends to one another but not to disbelievers. (11)
What Mohammed did with the Constitution was to set up a political system that was not based on the traditional Arabic tribal blood affiliations. Instead, he divided all people into the Umma, the Islamic community, who followed Mohammed and Allah, and the non-Islamic community of Kafirs. There were different rules prescribed for Muslims and Kafirs, thus establishing the principle of duality as a fundamental part of the Islamic doctrine and law.
Mohammed and his followers needed to make a living, so under his leadership, they became powerful warriors, making raids on trading caravans and fighting battles with other tribes. They took the defeated tribesmen and their women as slaves and kept their stock and possessions. After giving Mohammed and his family one fifth of the booty, they kept the rest, dividing it among themselves.
After many successful battles and raids, Mohammed and his followers conquered Mecca, took over the Kaba, the sacred center of Arabian polytheism, and made it the holy place for only Allah. When Mohammed died, all Arabia was under Islamic rule. (10)
Mohammed’s example of the migration process from Mecca to Medina is a prototype for Islamic political migration. Hijra begins with sending out a small group who learns about the new culture and its political structure. (12) Then, the Muslims and their families immigrate and settle into the host society, building mosques as a center for community religious and political cohesion. The community lives near the mosque, keeping their own laws. When the Umma is large and strong enough, jihad begins.
The completion of Hijra signals the beginning of jihad. According to the Hadith of Muslim, 33:125, Mohammed said, “There is no Hijra now, but (only) Jihad (fighting for the cause of Islam) and sincerity of purpose (have great reward) ; when you are asked to set out (on an expedition undertaken for the cause of Islam) you should (readily) do so.” (14)
The Hijra affects all non-Muslims for its goals are to revive jihad, strengthen the Islamic community, the Umma, and to establish its authority over the host country for the sake of the cause of Allah. The ultimate goal of Allah, Mohammed and the Islamic Umma is for all people to submit to the Sharia, the Islamic way of life. This is the submission [Islam means submission] that will bring peace to the world.
The Pattern of Hijra Continues Today
Islamic migration into the United States, as well as other countries in the 20th and 21st century, follows the pattern that Mohammed set 1,400 years ago. But, the difference today is that due to our technical innovations, global communications and transportation, this Hijra throughout the world has accelerated.
So, based on Mohammed’s example, Islamic migration begins with a small group which settles in the host country. When the group is large enough, the next steps are taken to:
■ Build a mosque that functions as a religious, social and political center
■ Settle around the mosque, start Islamic businesses and political infrastructure
■ Set up organizations with representatives to interact with the Kafir society, meeting local Kafir groups and engaging in proselytizing (dawa) and politics
■ Explain to the media what they want the public to know about Islam
Migration continues and the community grows more powerful. Mosques embrace those coming in, creating the environment to spread Political Islam. As a result, violent jihad against the Kafir increases, while Islamic politics, in all its forms, insinuates itself into the host country’s power structure, gains political offices and advocates the Islamic way of life, like Halal food in public institutions and prayers in schools.
History has shown that when the Islamic political structure grows large enough, it becomes a powerful socio-economic political force that dominates and controls the host country. For instance, Lebanon used to be a Christian country, but it is now Islamic.
Islamic migration brings oppositional political ideas into our country. The power behind these ideas is protected and nurtured in the mosques and by the Islamic organizations. And jihad, in all its forms, implements them.
Hijra was a momentous event in history. It is celebrated because it brought Political Islam to a new territory and made it victorious with jihad and politics. Since it is mentioned in the Koran, Mohammed’s biography and examples from his life, Islamic migration has been and will remain systematic and inherent in Political Islam
Hijra has proven itself to be an effective means to transport political ideas across borders. We must understand the development of the Hijra as a pattern followed by Political Islam if we are to defend our nation and continue our heritage of freedom and governmental rule as stated in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
