Political Islam in the News

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 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.

CSPII Commentary: The Saharanpur demolition, which Naeem Qureshi calls a defiance of a Supreme Court stay, and the Waqf Act is the civil-law wrapping of a religious claim: a mosque once dedicated as waqf is treated 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).

CSPII Commentary: Ceuta’s public schools dropping pork for “Sharia meat” after the migrant surge is a small, visible act of submission: the institution rearranges the common table 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-Islamic 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.
