In February 2025, in Birmingham, England, a speaker at a Muslim conference delivered a remarkably open message:
Just a short time ago, on May 15, 2026, at the Islamic Center of San Diego, an imam gave a Friday sermon that was far more polished but carried the exact same strategic goal.
He spoke at length about the need for Muslims to build political and community power, repeatedly referencing the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina. He presented it not merely as a journey, but as the critical turning point when Islam transitioned from a weak religious sect into a political and military power.
This is no accident.
There is no such thing as “moderate Islam” versus “political Islam.” The religion and the political project are inseparable. Once Muslims gain a foothold, the model of the Hijra is clear: move from a position of weakness to one of strength, establish political authority, and eventually eliminate competing powers.
After arriving in Medina (then a Jewish city called Yathrib), one of the first major actions taken was the systematic elimination of the Jewish tribes who had initially given them refuge, most historically noted, the Banu Qurayza, who were massacred.
The city was then renamed Medina (“The City” in Arabic), symbolically erasing its pre-Islamic identity.
This is not ancient history to be ignored. It is the operating manual. The blueprint from which Islam has operated ever since.

Western liberalism’s great error has been to treat these statements as fringe extremism rather than mainstream Islamic doctrine.
