Peloni: As Sec. Rubio has recently stated that banning the Muslim Brotherhood is in process, President Trump should include CAIR in this ban.

Yet while Muslim organizations make concerted efforts to convert non-Muslims to Islam, not a single church or any non-Muslim entity has any program to equip its people to deal with this challenge. Apparently to have such a counter-dawah program would be “Islamophobic.”
Former CAIR Florida Director Hassan Shibly: The Only Excuse Muslims Have For Living In The West Is To Change These Countries For The Better – Our Number One Priority Should Be Dawah; I’m Sure MEMRI Will Blast A Clip Of Me Saying This,” MEMRI, August 7, 2025:
Muslim civil rights attorney and former director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida chapter Hassan Shibly discussed the role of Muslims in America in an August 7, 2025 episode of Blood Brothers Podcast, hosted by British journalist Dilly Hussain and posted on 5 Pillars on YouTube. He said the only excuse Muslims have for living in Western countries such as the U.S., UK, or Australia is to change these countries for the better, and therefore the number one priority should be dawah, or Islamic proselytizing. Shibly added that he was sure MEMRI would produce a clip of these statements and “blast” it. He said Muslims are not trying to take over America but to make it more representative of the ideals it espouses, adding that Muslims in America will be remembered for preserving the very soul of liberty and justice within the country.

Hassan Shibly: “We need to be driven by divine guidance and loyalty to push the country for the better. I’ll be very candid when I say this – and I’m sure right now, MEMRI and Islamophobic websites are going to take this clip and blast it, they’ve already done it for one of my sermons recently…”
Dilly Hussain: “Who knows, I might just do it.”
Shibly: “Maybe Andrew [Tate] will come and defend me that time. Brother, ultimately, I say this, what excuse do we have, as Muslims living in the United States – or even the UK, Australia, or any of these so-called Western nations – and paying tax dollars that are funding genocide. The only excuse we have to do that is if we are living there to change the countries for the better.

“The number one priority we have must be dawah. It must be calling them to understand their Creator. Because when people understand their Creator, it will change how they deal with the creation.
[…]
“So I think number one is building the faith and confidence within the Muslims. Number two – dawah. And then number three – politics. Now, they are going to twist this, [and say]: ‘Oh, they are trying to take over.’ We’re not trying to take over, we’re trying to make America more representative of the ideals that it espouses, like compassion, humanity, and mercy.”
Hussain: “Justice and fairness – which they claim [to uphold].”
[…]
Shibly: “I think the great thing that Muslims in America will be remembered for is actually preserving the very soul of liberty and justice within America.”
preserving the very soul of liberty and justice within America.
A very distorted version of liberty and justice to be sure.
“Islamophobic.”???
Not really.
Islamo-fed-up is more like it.
