Shall We Let Them Win?


Manifestation of khalifah?

Shall we let them win?

They;
who are enemies to
non-Muslims and 
Muslims alike.

Enemies to non-Muslims
as they in the name of Islam
behead, bomb, and gun down
innocent souls.

Enemies to Muslims
as they behead, bomb, and gun down
innocent souls
in the name of Islam.


Shall we let them win?

The trick they play is the
exploitation of ignorance,
to sow fear and hatred,
for the purpose of causing division;
in a misguided jihad for the khilafah.

And 
we are letting them win
as governments  "declare war" on them
when that is the very thing they want:
a reinforcement of their narrative
that "the West" is at war with Islam,
and so Muslims must kill the Westerners.



We are letting them win
as we discriminate against Muslims even more,
making them even more alienated in European society.

We are letting them win
as we keep Syrian refugees out,
leaving them vulnerable to the allure of violence.

In so doing,
we are serving them new recruits on a silver platter;
we are letting them win.


Shall we let them win?

We shall not;
but only if ALL of us
Muslim or non-Muslim,
reject the idea they are selling:
the idea that
Islam is a religion of violence,
eternally at war with the West.


To the non-Muslims of Europe,
I advice you to have sabr
and hold on to your principles of
justice, freedom and tolerance.

To the Muslims of Europe,
I advice you to hold on to the Islamic principles of
justice, freedom and tolerance
and have sabr.


Do not let them win.
