An arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (Islamic Circle of North America) now has billboards in Minneapolis this week.

From Jihad Watch:

They say they want to encourage dialogue via these billboards. Great. I’ll start. The billboard says that Islam is “the way of life of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus & Muhammad.” That is a reflection of the Islamic supremacist notion, rooted in the Qur’an (3:67, 5:116, 9:30, etc.), that the Biblical prophets taught Islam, and their messages were corrupted by their followers to create what we know of today as Judaism and Christianity. In this view, Judaism and Christianity have no legitimacy whatsoever: they are renegade, twisted, hijacked versions of the original Islam.

So my question is: How does ICNA hope to encourage dialogue by making a declaration at the outset that Judaism and Christianity are false, renegade religions? Wouldn’t it be more likely to encourage dialogue if ICNA, instead of simply trying to convert people to Islam (which is really what this call to “dialogue” is all about), acknowledged the supremacist aspects of some Islamic texts and teachings, and offered a way forward for Muslims that would blunt the potential of those supremacist texts and teachings to incite believers to hatred and violence?

Here’s a suggestion, how about a billboard decrying the terrorist activities of their fellow Muslims? How a billboard denouncing the suicide bombers killing and maiming people around the world in the name of Allah and Mohammad? How about a billboard pleading for Muslims around the world to end Muslim subjugation and violence against women? How about a billboard educating Muslims to be more tolerant of other religions instead of advocating death to kafirs?

None of this will of course happen since that is not the purpose of Islam. The purpose of these jihadist groups is to eliminate all opposition to their political ‘religion’.
