Story

In a lecture delivered at the Dearborn Community Center, United States, a popular Islamist influencer known as Way of Life SQ shared his controversial views about Western culture and its perceived moral decline. He described Western civilization as 'backwards' and Christianity as a dying faith, suggesting that Christians are envious of Islam's success and influence. This gathering, which took place last month, aimed to inspire young Muslims to resist the influences of Western ideals and technology, which he accused of leading them astray. The influencer insisted that Muslims have a divine purpose to guide Western societies from darkness towards enlightenment. In recent years, Dearborn has experienced heightened scrutiny due to its large Muslim population and growing radicalism, as evidenced by rallies supporting anti-U.S. and anti-Israel sentiments.
