Have you had to interact with someone who doesn’t share your values and who also holds an openly anti-Israel position? If so, what was that experience like? In this live session, we will present Francisco Gil-White’s perspective, with the aim of providing tools to approach these kinds of situations in an informed and strategic way.

  1. Yes, there are extremist elements within Islamic society, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, al-Qaida and others. But why do these groups exist, and why do they all have the same basic platform?

    Only one answer – the Koran. The Koran directs its believers to drive a global jihad, to spread Islam and Sharia across the globe. Taqqiya, the act and duty to lie to accomplish jihad is mandated in the Koran. The Koran is the heart, the bottom, of the Islamic worldview.

    Not Nazism. The Koran is the problem.

    This does not mean that all Muslims are extremist, or that all Muslims believe in the Koran and the Hadith. That would be impossible really. Just as the notion that all Jews believe in the Torah or Christians in the Bible. However, until the Koran undergoes a renaissance, its words will be taken on literally by some. What are the chances of an evolution of the ‘Recitation’ happening? I’d say close to none. Because the interpretations of the Koran do not seem to be the problem, because the words themselves are clear. And as they are believed to be the word of G-d, how do you change them?

    Unfortunately, if we do not solve this challenge, then the ball will keep rolling down the hill on top of us. I’m sure that you are aware of what has happened (and is continuing to happen) in Europe. It has now begun to spread in the US (Michigan, Texas, New York City?).

    We could follow the lead of Texas: https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-signs-law-banning-sharia-compounds-in-texas

    This is an extremely difficult problem. Mainstream influencers and media continue to speak of ‘extremists’ and ‘Islamists’. These are vague terms that make one’s brain cloud over. Perhaps a better term would be “Koranists”. The root of the problem must be talked about out loud, in public. Of course to do so would be to immediately put one’s life on the line. Islam is not a religion of peace altogether. Yet, we hear this all the time.
