Protest Tourism Is Protest Jihad

The hijrah (jihad immigration) must be stopped.It has destroyed whole cultures, continents since the march of Muhammad and Islam began.

The Hijrah in Islam

“Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader. That was what occasioned his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam, implying that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance…And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 4:100)

And now a hijrah of a much greater magnitude is upon us….(continue).”

When protest tourism turns to protest Jihad

The thin red line between activism and violence

Elias Rodriguez has been charged with the murder of a young Israeli couple whom he allegedly shot in cold blood in the heart of DC last week. Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, were both in their 20’s and had plans to become engaged. Now they are dead because some guy who was born in Chicago thought he should kill innocents on one side of a conflict taking place on a different continent 6,000 miles away. Rodriguez told police as he was taken into custody, “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.”

Rodriguez had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and was quoted in an article on the group’s website back in 2017. After the shooting, the article was deleted. While the PSL denied that Rodriguez was a current member of the group, it did acknowledge that he had a “brief association” in the past. I have covered numerous protests sponsored by the PSL. The organization pulls permits for demonstrations and prints thousands of signs and pamphlets to get everyone on the same page.

look no further than the tribalization of the American political discourse over the last nine years. When every election is presented as an existential battle and the opposing party is cast as Nazis or Communists, this is the end result. When citizens think that it is their responsibility to solve every injustice around the world via their social media posts, we get keyboard warriors taking to the streets to fight on behalf of a cause they do not understand. It’s protest tourism.

Covering protests in DC and around the country over the last decade, I have witnessed radical groupthink turn listless Americans into conduits for violence and hate.

At an anti-Netanyahu protest in front of Union Station in July of 2024, I was called a “Zionist” because I refused to pledge my allegiance to Palestine on a public American street.
The woman in the video was vandalizing the Columbus Fountain and when I asked her politely why she was doing it she asked, “Do you support Palestine?” I replied, “I support free speech in the United States.” She pressed, “do you support Palestine?” I replied again, “I lived in Jordan… and I believe America is the last hope we have.” She began shouting that I was a “Zionist,” which is akin to putting a fatwa on my head in this kind of a crowd. Noticing that the woman had Arabic tattoos, I responded in the language she had inked on her chest. I will admit that before I ran away, I swore at her in Arabic just to see if she understood. It turned out the woman didn’t understand a word.
