What a tragedy! The multitudes we have caused to abandon the path, as a result of our ignorance and our behaviour. And soon we will be held to account. God have mercy.
Some people wonder why I am sympathetic to young people who respond to the call of evil cults and sects, although I abhor the groups in and of themselves.
Oops, the sheikh went off on one, ranting about white converts, on and on, telling us what he really thinks. Ah, oops, but um, of course, not all white converts, and definitely not the likes of Hamza Yusuf, Nuh Keller or Tim Winter, and of course not those listening in, no never, back tracking as …
With news today that a teenage runaway to Syria now seeks to return, I think a post I wrote in 2015 still applies. Young women like this should be treated the same as other teenage victims of grooming gangs: with sympathy and empathy at the very least.

Alas, I have been added to the basket of undesirables, to be shunned even by close friends, because I saw through the Iqwani propaganda machine and refused to submit to its demands. Why good men insist on defending the indefensible is beyond me. I have read another propaganda piece this evening, filled with lies upon …
The quotation below, attributed to Abdal Hakim Murad (Tim Winter), is currently being shared far and wide on social media:
