Islamist Influencer in Dearborn Lecture to Muslim Teens: Westerners and Americans Are So Backward That They Use Toilet Paper in the Bathroom; Allah Has Sent You to Civilize These Nations; Christians Are Jealous of What You Have

In a lecture to Muslim teens at the Dearborn Community Center on October 11, 2024, Islamist influencer who goes by “Way of Life SQ” criticized Western and American culture, calling it "backward." He claimed that despite their technological advancements, philosophy, and ideas, Westerners remain "uncivilized" for using toilet paper after bathroom use. Way of Life SQ emphasized that Muslims were sent by Allah to bring civilization to these nations, moving them "from darkness to light." He also stated that Christians are "jealous" of Islam and that the Christian religion is "dying,” and therefore it was forced to bring LGBTQ values into their fold. The lecture was streamed live on Masjid Al-Salam on YouTube. In July, Way of Life SQ said in a New York City sermon at the MAS Bronx Muslim Center, that Christians Cannot Fill Their Churches With 'Regular People', So They Are Letting Homosexuals In; Do Not Fall Victim To Zionist Plans; Hollywood, Music, Disney Are Zionist And Satanic. It is noteworthy that on October 12, Way of Life SQ delivered an Islamic learning session for high school and college aged young men at the West River Academy, a public charter school in Dearborn, Michigan.
