THE PROBLEM: Psychological Warfare (Brainwashing)
- Our education systems have been captured, tracked and weaponized.
- Mainstream media has been captured, tracked and weaponized.
- Social media has been captured, tracked and weaponized.
- Abolition of free speech and limiting individuals’ ability to organize or protest, to ensure unquestioned rule.
FALSE SOLUTIONS
It is not our numbers, but the help of Allah comes to the sincere
- When Allah punishes, he punishes the whole community.
- When Allah rewards, he rewards the whole community.
Sectarian Muslims
- Reduced Islam to a ritualistic, spiritual, personal religion.
- The cancel culture has to stop, because you say what they don’t like, they accuse you of straying from Islam.
- Those people that are less righteous must not be cancelled, put in a box and written-off.
- Accusing people of bringing logical solutions, when they derive their solutions from Quran and Sunnah.
THE SOLUTION
Islam has specific aims and objectives
The evidence is from Quran and Sunnah, but these objectives are stated literally in the Quran and Sunnah. To extract these objectives, we cannot look at the Quran and Sunnah in a simplistic way.
The true believer is always superior, regardless of the circumstances
Do you think you will be admitted into Paradise without being tested like those before you? They were afflicted with suffering and adversity and were so ˹violently˺ shaken that ˹even˺ the Messenger and the believers with him cried out, “When will Allah’s help come?” Indeed, Allah’s help is ˹always˺ near.
[2:214]
- The true believer is never at loss.
- Victory for the enemy, is a test for us
- Allah never gives the enemy victory because he loves them.
- Allah gives us tests, to separate the true believers from those that can’t handle the tests.
- Whether you a victorious or defeated, do tasbeeh of Allah.
- Defeat is a test of our faith.
- Through tests, Allah wishes to purify you.
- Sometimes the kufaar look like they winning, but it is temporary.
- What truly benefits people will stay in the land.
The true believer is an influencer, and not influenced
- Faith affects everyone around a person.
- Faith is a stronger force than all of the armies and economies of the world.
- The true believer is not impacted by the environment, he impacts his environment.
The true believer is never reactive, always proactive by being prepared
- The Resistance Axis
- Protecting our culture
- I’m so scared, my son is going to university
- The university better be scared, my son is coming
The true believer does not dispute with other Muslims
“Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere.”
[8:46]
The verse points out to two end-products of this mutual dissension:
- That you would become personally weak and cowardly.
- Through mutual unity and trust, everyone is backed up by the strength of a whole group. Therefore, one individual feels the relative strength of his whole group in himself and once that mutual unity and trust is gone what remains behind is no more than his own solitary strength – which, obviously, means nothing in a killing field.
The power of media
- Media teaches you
- What to focus on

- New York Times that wrote “Mosaddegh is a fanatical nationalist. The coup will strengthen the hands of more reasonable leaders.”
- Military coup to bring in the Shah of Iran by the CIA. London Time said “He will bring the enlightened modernity.” This is the chaos and phycological warfare of the media.

- We have to teach these principles to others. We have to teach people how to stand and to resist and to fight back.
- We started being sloppy. We have to be effective.
- Israel has a Gen Z problem
- Their psychological power is eroding.
Power is essentially psychological.
The elite will tell the media how they want to appear.
psychological warfare can be more effective than physical war.
Used to subdue the enemy without a physical fight.
Creates a psychological relationship between those who exercise it and those upon whom it is exercised.
Nationalizing the natural resources – Mossadegg. Anyone who wants to democratize.
Democratize the real benefits the public.
Information Dominance means the media control is part of the war plan. Driven by the Pentagon.
Office of Strategic influence – To challenge Political Islam. We must be aware of this and create awareness amongst ourselves.
They have a strategy and that are releasing info daily.
School system and media is used to control the society by the elites.
Certain news will never make it to the public
Only counts when its a concerned effort from a formidable enemy.

You can challenge a personal narrative or conceptual narrative, but not a meta narrative. Terrorism is a meta-narrative.
61% of the word massacre, slaughter, when it comes to Israeli’s. Use of language, headlines, framing, images. Journalistic translations, when the same event is narrated in two different languages.
Language and Narrative is a powerful tool used to set an agenda.
You think in the language, culture is in language.
Socialogy – 4 Narratives of hegemony of Capitalism, of one’s perception of oneself and others.
Personal narrative – Your view, You conception of yourself and the other. where you are, where you fit, what you believe.
Public – Circulate within a group and entertained and promoted and circulated and defended.
Conceptual narrative – Academics, professionals, elites.
Meta narrative – Rare, Progress, Terrorism. So influential that it cannot be easily ignored.
Do you condemn Hamas, is a question supported by the meta narrative?
Dehumanization
They distort the narrative, to shift the blame and preserve their image and their ego. So they don’t have to be held accountable.
