An Interview with a Local Hero: Rabbi Jon Hausman

Gordon: What gave rise to your concerns about the threat of Islamization here in the US? Hausman: I’ve always been aware historically that Islam is a triumphalism, supersessionist and supremacist way of life. Islam, in my mind, is not solely a religious philosophy, but a total and complete political-religious polity. As such, Islam directs every aspect of a person’s life with no tolerance or respect given anyone who will not “submit” to the will of Allah. If you will not submit, there are all sorts of consequences (e.g. special taxes, restrictions in terms of livelihoods and construction of houses of worship, other reminders of one’s second class and inferior status, jihad). The prevalence of doctrinal issues such as taqqiyya, da’wa, jihad combined with Islam’s bloody past and present are sanguine reminders that no Reformation has occurred.

“Gordon: What gave rise to your concerns about the threat of Islamization here in the US?”

Mr. Gordon, all you have to do is read the history of Islam starting with the 7th century onward to the 21st century and the manner in which it was spread. Do you call yourself a scholar?
