Opinion: Islam Is Portrayed as a Global Threat to Freedom and Progress

The author argues that Islam harms societies worldwide, citing violence, oppression, and historical slavery as evidence.

The column asserts that Islam offers no societal benefit and that its influence leads to increased oppression and conflict. It enumerates alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria and Sudan, Jews in Israel, Hindus in India, Buddhists in Bangladesh, and atheists across Europe, as well as violence against women, LGBTQ individuals, and religious minorities within Muslim-majority nations. The writer invokes the medieval Islamic caliphate's slave trade and claims that contemporary chattel slavery persists only in Islamic countries.

He critiques modern Western Christianity for its perceived lack of rigor, while condemning Islam as a vehicle for toxic masculinity, control, and revenge. The piece cites attacks in cities such as Dearborn, Minneapolis, Paris, Ceuta, Marseille, Rotterdam, London, Malmo, Brussels, and New York City as evidence of a pattern. Concluding, the author calls for continued exposure of what he terms an “Islamic supremacy” threat.

Why it matters
