Israel as a Stumbling Block to a Caliphate

Dan Burmawi is a former Muslim who now lives in the West, where he is able to explain without fear the evils of Islam. And he has tried with special fervor to explain why the existence of Israel is regarded with such fury by Muslims, for the Jewish state stands in the way of one continuous caliphate extending uninterruptedly from Morocco to India. More on his explanation can be found here: “Former Muslim Explains Islam’s Inherent Evil and Israel’s Extreme Importance for the West,” by Catherine Salgado, PJ Media, June 26, 2026:

A former Muslim who escaped to the West for freedom is warning America and Europe against misunderstanding Islam and underestimating Israel’s vital role in protecting Western nations from a global and genocidal Islamic caliphate.

“If you get Islam wrong, you will get the Arab–Israeli conflict wrong,” Dan Burmawi warns. “You will misunderstand the immigration crisis reshaping the West. You will be blind to how the greatest civilization ever created is slowly being erased and replaced. And you will fail to appreciate the Judeo-Christian faith, and the culture it built, that gave the world liberty, dignity, and order.” If Westerners don’t start reading Islamic sacred texts and sharia experts from 1400 years ago up to today, we will not understand how deeply embedded the most demonic evils are in Islam….

He reminded Westerners of their own history with such a threat. “A caliphate is more dangerous than the Nazis ever were. The caliphate once stretched from Spain to India, launching invasion after invasion into Europe,” Burmawi wrote. “If the Ottoman Caliphate had simply been replaced by an Arab one after its collapse, the West would have lived under constant threat. That’s why Israel’s existence matters. Its very presence blocks the return of the caliphate. Israel gives legitimacy even to the Arab nation states.” There’s a reason Adolf Hitler found allies in the Arab world.

And, Burmawi went on, “That’s why Israel is the stumbling block in the eyes of the Muslim Brotherhood. That is why they [and Hamas and Hezbollah] are obsessed with erasing Israel: without Israel, the dream of resurrecting the caliphate becomes possible again. This is why the free world must stand with Israel, not just for Israel’s survival, but for its own.”

Even more brutally honest and illuminating is this post:

Let’s flesh that out. Muhammad married little Aisha when she was six, snd consummated the marriage — that is, had sexual intercourse with her — when she was nine and he was 54. Muhammad bought, sold, and kept slaves, including female sex slaves won in battle. As a consequence Muslims until now have never denounced slavery. Slavery continued in some Muslim countries until the second half of the 20th century, and only under terrific Western pressure did they prohibit the practice. Saudi Arabia and Oman finally banned slavery in 1962, and Yemen did so in 1970. Mauritania was the last to officially ban slavery, in 1981. But even today, despite having formally banned slavery, in three Muslim counties — Niger, Mali, and Mauritania — the ruling Arabs continue to hold hundreds of thousands of black Africans as slaves. As for ordering executions, Muhammad wished aloud to be rid of three people — Asma bint Marwan, Abu Afak, and Ka’b bin al-Ashraf — who had mocked him, and three of his followers promptly did as he desired.

Muhammad took part in 28 military campaigns. He participated in the mass slaughter of the 600-800 bound prisoner of the Banu Qurayza tribe, and in the attack on the inoffensive Jewish farmers of the Khaybar Oasis, where he took as a concubine a beautiful Jewish girl, Saafiya, whose father and husband Muhammad’s men had murdered earlier that same day. He proclaimed in a famous hadith that “I have been made victorious through terror.” And yet, for Muslims, Muhammad is the Perfect Man (al-insan al-kamil) and the Model of Conduct (uswa hasana), and whatever he did was right, and remains so today.

Dan Burmawi has two themes. One is about the evils of Islam, as Muslims seek to spread the faith across the globe, and to make a reality Muhammad’s hope that “Islam is to dominate, and not to be dominated.” And the second is about the Jewish state, whose very existence is the chief obstacle, he argues, to the creation of a caliphate from Morocco to India. If Israel disappears, that caliphate can more easily be formed, and could — with a fifth column of more than 40 million Muslims already in Europe — emerge powerful enough to threaten the West. So listen closely, please, to what this ex-Muslim has to say.
