Shaykh Abū Ādam al-Narūijī: “No non-Muslim deserves to be treated with respect”

Praise be to Shaykh Abū Ādam al-Narūijī’s god! If you thought our beloved Shaykh had reached a moral plateau, think again! The moral excellence of the good Shaykh just seems to grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and…

St. al-Naruiji recently referred to Christians as “those idiots.” A reader then asked him the following question:

Is it really necessary to refer to Christians as “those idiots”? Do you have any idea how rude and arrogant you sound or any idea what sort of disastrous impression this might give a non-Muslim seeking to learn something about Islam?

In response to this outrageous question, the Saint gave a rather detailed response, providing flawless moral justification for his righteous use of the term “idiots.” The highlight of this sober and clear-headed response is as follows:

Since we have established above that anyone that does not accept the prophethood of Muhammad is a blasphemer, we know that no non-Muslim deserves to be treated with respect.

At this point, you must be thinking to yourself, “Of course! It all makes perfect sense now: I must never treat a non-Muslim with respect.” However, do you know what qualifies as respect? No? Well, don’t worry, the good Shaykh has been gracious enough to offer some examples of respectful conduct:

Examples would be opening doors for them, letting them enter before you through a door, standing up to greet them and the like.

The lesson is clear: if a young Muslim and an elderly nun are heading toward the door at the same, the Muslim should not open the door for her or let her enter first. If a young Muslim is sitting on the bus and an elderly Buddhist woman is standing, the young Muslim should not give up his seat. The moral beauty of Islam is just shining through!

Of course, it’s difficult to define something by example only. How exactly do we know what qualifies as respect? The good Shaykh offers the following flawless method:

A good criteria is to think, “If I was to be nice to a cat, would I do this?” If not, then you have probably reached the point of showing respect, and should avoid it.

What a truly impressive method for determining how to deal with non-Muslims! Treat them no better than you would treat an animal. Islam sounds like such an amazing religion! I mean, who wouldn’t want to convert to a faith that expects you to treat those outside it like animals?

And then, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, St. Abu Adam offers more gems of wisdom:

So why did I use the word “idiot” when I could have been nicer? The reason is what I indicated above, I do not want to contribute to the idea that one must be nice, or that one cannot be disrespectful to non-Muslims, especially when they show enmity towards Islam. The fact that you are blaming me for what I said stresses the importance of me doing this, and you have encouraged me to do it more.

It is “important” to treat non-Muslims with disrespect and the good Shaykh has been “encouraged” to continue being disrespectful.

But, wait! There’s still more. In a response to another questioner, St. Abu Adam says, “there is nothing wrong” with being “tough” toward non-Muslims. He also informs us that a Muslim must “work to ensure that Islam is held above all other religions, to prevent it from being looked at as equal to other belief systems.” And, what better way to improve the image of Islam than by treating those who don’t believe it with toughness and disrespect? Oh, and also, Muslims are supposed to believe there is absolutely nothing good in Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, or any other religion; only Islam offers something good.

So, that’s our moral lesson for today, brothers and sisters. To summarize: one must be disrespectful to the 4.5 billion people in the world who do not follow Islam and one must treat them like animals. No, we’re not being sarcastic.  That’s really what he’s telling us.

May Shaykh Abū Ādam al-Narūijī’s god give him more of whatever it is that makes him so…him.

More Awe-Inspiring Humility from Shaykh Abū Ādam al-Narūijī

The moral excellence of our beloved Shaykh Abū Ādam al-Narūijī seems to grow exponentially every minute. And, after every minute, we are just dumbfounded by the extraordinary heights to which our beloved Shaykh’s moral excellence has soared. Recently, St. al-Narūijī was asked the following question:

Also, one of my non-Muslim friends asked me this question: Is it possible for Allah (Subhan wa Ta`ala) to create a stone so large that he (Subhan wa Ta`ala) can not lift it? Could you answer that rationally and Islamically (according to the books of `aqeeda)?

To this, the humble Shaykh gave the following humble response:

This is the typical Satanic question, where a kaafir asks “Can Allah <insert impossible proposition>?” The answer to this particular question is that Allah is not a body, so the idea of lifting in the sense that Christians would think of it does not befit Allah, because He is not a body, unlike what those idiots think.

The rest of the response can be seen here. From the above, the following lessons here are very clear:

1) The Muslim questioner’s friend is a Satanic idiot.

2) The Muslim questioner’s friend is a Christian, because the Shaykh says so. (Never mind the possibility that he or she could be an atheist and never mind that a dutiful Christian just might also reject this question as a meaningless paradox.)

3) Apparently, only Christians ask questions with hidden assumptions that do not “befit Allah.” Christians can therefore be dismissed as “those idiots.”

4) Christians are Satanic idiots.

Great PR work, Shaykh! You’re making Islam look lovelier and more attractive each day!
