🧵 [1/9] I recently had a passionate debate with a German friend about whether Islam lies at the root of the dysfunction in Islamic societies and whether it can be reformed. Like many of my privileged Western liberal friends, his understanding of the Islamic world seems to rest on a brief visit to the Egyptian pyramids and perhaps a guided city tour through Istanbul. He offered the usual well-meaning but tired arguments I've heard countless times. When I asked whether he had read the Quran or the Hadiths, he admitted he hadn't yet insisted that Islam wasn't the problem—it was merely a matter of interpretation. He proceeded to recite the familiar affirmations that most Muslims are peaceful, that Christianity, too, had a violent past, and that the Jewish and Christian scriptures were no better than the Quran.

Not long ago, I would have grown impatient with this confident display of theological, historical, and cultural ignorance. But over time, I've learned to remain composed. After years of dealing with modern Orientalism and the soft bigotry of low expectations, I've decided to become the most annoying educator of these oblivious, suicidal fools. I am convinced—beyond doubt—that Islam has become the most dangerous ideology of our time due to its theological impossibility to reform. [2/9] Claiming to be more than just a spiritual path, Islam explicitly defines itself as a perfect, final, and all-encompassing truth. Sura 3:7 states that only Allah knows the true interpretation of its verses—effectively closing the door to human reinterpretation. Sura 5:3 states that Islam is a perfected religion. Sura 11:1 describes the book as flawless in wisdom and clarity, and Sura 2:2:16 denies the human ability to judge. These verses assert divine authorship and inaccessibility; thus, the Quran cannot be altered, questioned, or reinterpreted. It is a closed loop impervious to reform.

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.

In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.
