For Muslims living in the west
Suffering and being the’ victims
Of racists and their' Islamophobic comments and
violence
The future holds nothing else' but confrontation

Mr and Mrs Non-Muslim
U don’t like us
That’s why u cuss
We don’t like your lack of' values
And' hence we don’t integrate fully
To your satisfaction

Don’t want to be u
U don’t want to be us
We can accept u as u are
But u can’t accept us
Unless we change

Who’s the intolerant?
Who’s the racist and supremacist?

Trying to impose
And commit cultural genocide
By making Muslims lose our identity

U feel sorry for us
While we feel pity for u
It’s true
Never the twain shall meet
Hence we don’t socialise together
In the pub and nightclub

U invited us here
Now you’re full of fear
We want engagement and discussion
While your politician’s abuse and insult
Name calling and scare mongering

Why?
What is it about Islam that u fear?

Is it the hijab, veil or jilbaab?
Is it the topee or beard?

Your media is supposed to be free
But it tows the government policy
Documentary and news article
Dissecting Islam particle by particle
Just like in the past when it attacked Communism
Coz people started to look for an alternative

Is it any wonder that we are suffering daily?
Looks and stares
Intolerable' on public transport
Words and violent actions
When we are outnumbered
Against our women and elderly
Even our kids get called names
From the mouth of babes

Brainwashed from birth
by parents who should know better
who are the extremists and preachers of hate now?

We will not be silenced
And forced to abandon our Islamic identity
And adopt your lack of values
Coz that is the road to disaster
Annihilation and extinction

The more u oppress us
The stronger we become
Unified and focused
Internal divisions forgotten

The future holds nothing
But confrontation
in this nation
Envy of the world
For free speech
we will fight words with better words
Insults and accusations
with intellectual refutation
but are 'you' ready to debate and discuss?

Violent attacks we will resist
And defend our honour
No turning the other cheek
Like the meek and weak
Lambs to the slaughter

The spirit of resistance and Jihad
Burns within our souls
Fanned by the words of the Quran
And the actions of our blessed Muhammad Saw

Islam is strong in the west
Converts and born again Muslims
Those who went with the flow
But now to Allah swt they bow

We’re getting large in number
Mainly youth and those coming back from slumber
And not just the old and elderly

Masjids packed
Like sardines stacked
Row upon row
Bowing, crying and making
Dua to Allah the almighty

We are Muslims in the west
Holding onto our values interacting
And contributing to this society

We realise that the future holds nothing else
But confrontation
And we are ready for the challenge
So bring it on
Enter the arena
With your ideas
Capitalism Vs Islam
And let the discussion and debate begin

\\\"We ruled the world,\\\"
\\\"During all that time, we knew the west existed\\\"

If this is the case, when the Prophet Muhammad son of Abdullah was living, who lived in the United States of America?

Sure. Muslims must try hard and unite, and fight under the banner of Islam against the west.\\\"

If you live as the Prophet Muhammad did and follow his ways and teachings you would have no thoughts of fighting and killing.

When the Prophet received the first revelation ordering him to make war upon his persecutors �until persecution is no more and religion is for Allah only.� he was talking about the Quraysh who were out to kill him.

The West as you believe you know it today, did not exist during the time of the Prophet Muhammand. He was not aware of a tiny island in the North Sea or of a \\\"massive country\\\" yet to be named in the Atlantic Ocean.

The West has welcomed into their countries, millions of Muslims and they live side by side with other immigrants from all over the world in peace and harmony.

As in all religions there are a few who misinterpret the teachings of the Holy Prophets.

We can and should live in peace and harmony with each other if we live by one simple commandment ..\\\" Love thy neighbour as thyself\\\".

Why should we fight the west?

We had the Islamic state from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) til 1924. We ruled the world, during that time we made new discoveries, even cures for disease, we invented numbers and algebra. We were the first ones to a medical text.

During all that time, we knew the west existed, they themselves refer to that period as "dark ages", when it wasn't dark for us.

We didn't fight them then, so why should we fight them now. We don't fight people by judging which country they are from, or praise someone depending on where they are from, like the hypocritical politicians that exists in Muslim and Non-Muslim lands.
