Belgian Islamist Abu Imran released a video on April 3rd in anticipation of an Islamist rally in Paris, France on April 9th. In the course of this video he confirms the suspicion that Islamism is nothing but a form of blatant Imperialism transparently hidden under the veil of “social justice”. Though he initially chastises France for banning the niqab, he very clearly states that his real grievance with France is that it constitutes a former Islamic colony which must return to Islamic Shari’ah governance, for it “belongs” to the Muslimeen as a divine patrimony, much like Al-Andalus (the mention of which suggests a desire to “return” it as well to Islamic rule). He implores France to remember the Battle of Poitiers in 732, when Charles Martel defeated the Moorish invader Abdul Rahman Al-Ghafiqi, and implies that this time Islam will be victorious over the forces of kufr and shirk in France. He invites both Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy to Islam; recall that extending the Da’wah is a prerequisite before initiating war against any polity that does not implement the Islamic Shari’ah. Demonstrating that he is theologically-inspired rather than reacting to any perceived “injustice”, he calls Nicolas Sarkozy a “Roman Dog” in reference to the centuries of aggressive warfare waged by the Khilafah against the Byzantine Empire. Again, demonstrating his imperialist intent, he calls upon the Muslimeen of France to actively overthrow their kufr-and-shirk-based government , “liberating” France so as to replace the so-called Taghut with Islamic Shari’ah, so that the “black flag” of Islam flies over the Élysée Palace. To Abu Imran, Muslimeen cannot accept any political system other than Islamic Shari’ah; accepting “man-made law” would constitute shirk and kufr, and Mu’mineen are directed by Allah and Muhammad to fight in order to rid the world of such Fitnah and Dhulm and Fasad so that Islam prevails all over the earth. In fact, Muhammad explicitly promises in a sahih hadith that the sultaan (authority) of his Ummah will stretch across the entire dunya (Earth) with no exception. This is undoubtedly an imperialist doctrine. The desire to conquer France so that it becomes a province of the Dar Al-Islam is totally independent of any sort of “injustice” perpetrated by the West, in contrast to what self-loathing progressive activists may believe; it is deeply rooted in Islamic fiqh, whether Maliki or Hanafi or Shafi’i or otherwise, and it, as a manifestation of the doctrine of Al-Wala’a Wa’l-Bara’a (Loyalty and Enmity), is the source of the enmity displayed by Mu’mineen towards all institutions and values which conflict with the Islamic Shari’ah and to every dawlah (nation-state) which rejects and repudiates it. The only opportunity left for Mu’mineen is to subjugate the Dar Al-Harb by force so that kuffar live under its aegis as Ahl Al-Dhimma paying jizya in lieu of death and accepting the implementation of Islamic Shari’ah upon them; with this having been executed, Islam will dominate over Taghut and Allah will be pleased. The world will have been “liberated” from the “filth” of kufr and shirk; this is what Abu Imran means when he proclaims the goal of his “brothers” and “sisters” to be to “purify” France of kufr and shirk, replacing it with the legislation decreed by Allah in the Koran and Sunna. The world belongs to them — including France, they have been bequeathed the entire world by Allah and his Rasul, Europeans have no right to resist because this is the decree of Allah and only his legislation may be implemented, Islam has ruled over France before so “there is no reason to fear” — softening the blow through deceptive sweet-nothings, and it is only a matter of time before Islam conquers the Elysée Palace and Islam is victorious and cleanses France of kufr and kuffar — a genocidal position, to be sure. That is his message, and it is one of unapologetic imperialism, encouraging the establishment and expansion of the Islamic Caliphal Empire so that it covers over the entire earth. This is hardly the first Salafi to express such an opinion in a European language. For a progressive to defend such a reactionary and oppressive mentality is to ignore the reality as explained by not only a “believer” himself on video, but also the ‘ijma of the ulema…

At the very end of the video, notice the injunction to “Support Our Troops” — while direct personal involvement in Jihad At-Talab Wa’l-Ibtida’i is considered a Fardh Kifaya (Collective Obligation), it is Waajib (Obligatory) to support the mujahideen in any way possible. Here the speaker acknowledges the internationalist nature of Islamic Imperialism and expresses his support for it. As I doubt that the French will clamp down on such seditious activity, whether France will be brought under Islamic governance by the word, the womb, or the sword remains to be seen…

Allah’s blessings upon you, my dear brothers and sisters in France.

We respond to your call, Jama’at Al-Tawhid (“Group of Monotheism”).

My dear brothers, you sent us an invitation to participate in the April 9 demonstration in Paris.

We will be honored to come, and partake with you in the victory of our Islamic nation, with the grace of God.

…

We are coming to perform a da’wa.

Our da’wa is directed toward Carla Bruni.

We call upon Carla Bruni to become a Muslim, to repent, to join our Islamic community, and to wear the niqab.

I ask Allah to guide Carla Bruni, to turn her into a niqab-wearing Muslim, and to make her divorce that unbeliever, Sarkozy, may Allah fight him.

I pray to Allah for the family of that false idol Sarkozy to become Muslim, and to wear the niqab – so that this unbeliever Sarkozy will the niqab in his very home, and in his very own family, Allah willing.

We are coming to say: Oh Sarkozy, enemy of Allah, dog of the Romans, son of the unbeliever, we are on our way.

We are on our way with “Allah Akbar,” “Allah Akbar.”

We are coming with our nuclear bombs of “Allah Akbar.”

We are coming with our black flags – the black flags of “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

We are coming to take back what belongs to us, to regain our land and purify it of unbelief and of the unbelievers.

We are coming with “There is no god but Allah.”

We are coming because we reject democracy.

We do not accept democracy. We accept nothing but the tawhid of Allah.

We accept nothing but: “There is no god but Allah.”

We accept nothing but the shari’a of Allah.

Just as we ruled many European lands, we are coming to make you think about (the Battle of) Poitiers, to make you think about Andalusia, and to make you think about…By God, we are on our way.

The day you will see the black flag flying over the Elysée is very near.

I ask Allah to give us the power to plant the black flag over the Elysée.

I say to all my brothers and sisters in France: We are coming from Belgium to support you, with our group, Sharia4Belgium.

We are coming to support you.

I ask all my brothers and sisters in France to come to the Place de la Nation in Paris.

We will be there, with our brothers from Jama’at Al-Tawhid.

May Alla accept their actions, and grant them a place in Paradise for their sacrifices and their activities, which aim to bring victory to this community.

May Allah reward them with Paradise.

Allah willing, we will meet next week in Paris.

May Allah facilitate our path, and purify France of unbelief and the unbelievers.

Allah willing, we will see you next week.

Salaam Alaykum, and Allah’s blessings be upon you.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
