Why I remain a Muslim despite my fascination for the study of Catholicism 🇻🇦

The Zionist lobby used to be a very effective tool to contain the aspirations of wealthy and influential Conservative/Traditional American Catholics to project their soft power around the world. This lobby was thus inadvertently protecting our spiritual hegemony in Western Europe, where we had for decades no real competition in the Apologetics world except for zombie Catholicism and low-church-feel-good Protestantism. Now that this lobby is becoming weaker and weaker by the day, American Catholics have more leeway to invest in Apologetics around Europe, like they already did with the Tavelic Network in order to evangelize Muslims with a new strategy (including the elevation of modesty and Hijab as a Catholic virtue). I have been predicting this trend for years. It's great news for the Palestinians as the US would then revert to neutrality (like the CIA, which was then very hostile to Zionism, recommended in a report on November 28th 1947) but a disaster for the Da'wa in Europe as Catholics are already outspending us in Apologetics by a lot and hiring new Apologists every year. I am not angry or resentful at Catholics, I am angry at the complacency of wealthy Muslims. They should invest less in building new mosques and more on Public Relations.

As a Muslim apologist I have been gathering public intelligence on American Catholic Apostolates since at least 2020, I have been reading everything I could get my hand on Catholic Apologetics and thus I knew very early on that the resurgence of Catholicism was inevitable. For the past years my whole life revolved around my study of Catholicism. I've got to hand it to you guys: you had more determination than us Muslims for what initially looked like an uphill battle. We've became way too complacent, we've chronically underfunded our apologists, lost our resolve and imagined we had won like America in the 1990s after the cold war, except we hadn't won against Catholicism but only against Zombie Catholicism. I've tried to raise the alarm, to tell my community that we needed to wake up, that Catholics were stepping their up their game but to no avail, no one could imagine that Catholics were making a comeback. This new elite will soon crush both the Zionist lobby in the United States of America and Islamic spiritual hegemony in Western Europe. It's great news for our brothers and sisters in Palestine (as they only need the neutrality of the US) but a disaster for Muslims in the West! We had since the 1990s no serious religious competitors in Europe, we've enjoyed a kind of spiritual hegemony on the Old Continent, akin (in the religious realm) to the global uncontested hegemony America enjoyed for a decade after the Cold War. We had Da'wa on 'easy mode' (I am by no means disparaging the efforts of the brothers involved in Da'wa), contending against zombie Catholicism and thus winning a lot of converts to Islam who were nominal Christians, who were already de facto Unitarians in the first place. It was an anomaly. This era is now coming to an end. What no Muslim leader in the West seems to grasp is that the Zionist lobby was actually holding back the influence of American Trads around the world. When Traditional Catholics will finally gain the upper hand against the Zionists in the United States, their influence will be unrestrained and they will be able to project their soft power to the rest of the Western World and even to Muslim countries. I have been documenting this to my French audience since at least 2020, 'predicting' what's happening now as early as 2022. I have been following ever since the incredible rise of Catholic Answers (even though they are not Traditional Catholics but what I call 'Conservatives Novus Ordo' and some of their members are technically Zionists, they are still way too lukewarm in their support of Tel Aviv to the taste of the Zionist lobby, they are a gateway drug to Traditional Catholicism). They spend over 7 millions dollars in Apologetic every single year. I have been following ever since the development of a new missionary infrastructure in France geared toward the evangelization of Muslims, with a lot of funding (over 1 million € budget every year) while Muslims are investing less and less in Islamic Apologetic. I have been (legally) collecting (public) intelligence on Catholic organizations both in France and in the United States of America since at least 2020. In France alone, Catholics are spending at least 25 times more than us in Apologetic. I am not blaming Catholics, I actually have a lot of respect for them, they doing what their religion tell them to do (evangelization is an obligation according to Canon 781 of the Code of Canon Law of 1983). They are our most serious theological opponents. I don't blame them, I blame our Muslim elites. The recent development regarding the creation of an American Catholic mission to Muslims (especially in North Africa), the Tavelic Network, is something I tried to warn French Muslims about, but to no avail. This new generation of Catholic missionaries to Muslims won't be your average low-Church protestants like David Wood, they will be much more intellectuals. This organization, the Tavelic Network, was privately endorsed by Pope Francis back in August 2024 and they have a very robust strategy. They want to reshape the Christian discourse on Islam, as they have a clear disdain for the current liberal anti-Islam narrative of most Christians. They will be our biggest opponents tomorrow. Our community is in denial mode, we're way past the Golden age of Da'wa in Europe and America and no one seems to realize that. We've underfunded our Apologetic sector for years now and we will soon pay the price for that. It's now urgent that we work on a comprehensive and nuanced strategy toward containing the resurgence of Catholicism. We have to understand that this resurgence of the Catholic Faith in the West won't be a grassroots movement at first but will be mostly driven by a well-funded and dynamic elite. We also have to develop a mature response as unfortunately most of the time our attitude toward Catholics fluctuate between no-engagement or naive engagement. It's either we don't want anything to do with them or let's sing Kumbaya and hold hands with our 'Catholic brothers and sisters'. It looks like for most Muslims online there is no in-between. We have to come to terms with the fact that while we are theological opponents we can (and I think should) also be political allies with Catholics (Southern Baptists, Catholics and Mormons are all simultaneously theological opponents of each other and political allies). What Conservative Novus Ordo Catholics and Traditional Catholics (regardless if they are Ecclesia Dei, SSPX or sedevacantists) have in common is that they hate religious relativism (and rightly so!), so we should avoid any kind of discourse that overemphasis what we have in common theologically, while remaining very civil in our attitude and pointing to the fact that overall our interests converge politically. We have to walk a fine line. We also have to invest heavily in Islamic Apologetic again. Our apologists should be able to work full-time in this field, we need to be totally transparent about it and everyone should know exactly how much they are making (as the goal is for them to earn a living wage and not to get rich). Wealthy Muslims need to rise up to the occasion. We can't compete forever against a well-funded anti-Islam industry while our apologists are barely getting by. I have been studying on my own the Magisterium of the Catholic Church for years now and I think that we should train some of our brothers in this field, so they may be equipped to respond to Catholics. Most of our Apologists have been trained to respond to low-Church "Solo Scriptura Protestants" (I wrote Solo Scriptura and not Sola Scriptura here on purpose), we're thus currently unprepared to face the rise of Catholicism.

Il y a beaucoup de discussions en ce moment sur la Hijra et sur la remigration, sauf que personne ou presque n'aborde l'aspect concret de la chose. La remigration express est autant un fantasme que la créolisation de Mélenchon, ces deux options menant à la guerre civile. En effet des millions de musulmans (principalement d'origine maghrébine) ne quitteront pas l'Occident en seulement quelques années. Même si demain les pays du Maghreb acceptaient un tel afflux de population cela provoquerait une inflation monstre dans ces pays, une guerre civile voire une guerre régionale, ce qui engendrerait en retour ... une crise migratoire sans précédent, bref l'inverse de ce que nous souhaitons tous. Le seul moyen de sortir de cette situation intenable pour nous tous (afin notamment de mettre en place ce programme de remigration sur 20 ans et sur la base du volontariat avec incitation financière) c'est une alliance strictement politique (sans relativisme religieux, je ne parle pas ici du "Front de la Foi" de Soral) entre les musulmans et la droite chrétienne, alliance qui mettrait au chômage les gauchistes Zemmour, Marine Le Pen et Mélenchon. Les musulmans et les catholiques peuvent devenir alliés politiquement tout en demeurant des adversaires théologiquement. Une telle alliance redistribuerait totalement les cartes en créant un bloc électoral de plus de 10 millions d'électeurs. Le reste n'est que littérature menant in fine soit à l'impasse soit à la guerre civile.

Si vous voulez vraiment comprendre mon point de vue, vous devez absolument regarder ma vidéo sur ce sujet en date du 3 Mars 2026.

Cela fait des années que j'anticipe un retour du catholicisme en France par le biais des élites, notamment par l'influence des catholiques US. Aujourd'hui plus personne ne peut contester que quelque chose est en train de se passer même si c'est encore très minoritaire.

Je voulais présenter mes excuses à mes frères en Islam si j'ai pu (involontairement) donner l'impression du fait de quelques publications maladroites, de me rapprocher du catholicisme. Rassurez-vous ce n'est pas absolument le cas par la Grâce de Dieu. Je ferai à l'avenir plus attention à ma communication si Dieu le veut.

J'ai vraiment de plus en plus de mal avec le public de Matthieu Lavagna, ce sont pour beaucoup des gens sans éducation qui ont plus en commun avec des racailles qu'avec d'authentiques catholiques critiques courtois de l'Islam.

D'une certaine façon si l'Islam était intrinsèquement plus violent dans ses textes que le catholicisme, les choses seraient plus simples pour les gens comme moi, avec un tempérament plutôt doux, qui se tourneraient ainsi naturellement vers la religion catholique, tandis que ceux qui ont un tempérament plus dur se tourneraient instinctivement vers la religion musulmane. Cela n'indiquerait certes pas infailliblement où est la Vérité mais d'un point de vue humain ce serait bien plus simple en terme d'identification à l'éthos (car je ne crois pas que le fait de se convertir à une religion soit un choix exclusivement rationnel, l'éthos de la religion jouant un rôle important dans la prise de décision). Sauf que ce n'est pas le cas, puisqu'au contraire c'est un sujet qui devient de plus en plus complexe au fil de mes études, avec des parallèles frappants entre les sources primaires de l'Islam et les enseignements du Magistère ainsi que des théologiens catholiques à travers les siècles.

Il y a plusieurs arguments très populaires chez les musulmans contre le catholicisme, que je refuse pourtant d'utiliser dans mes débats car je les trouve incohérents et/ou peu pertinents. J'appelle les catholiques à faire preuve du même niveau de discernement et d'honnêteté intellectuelle dans leur critique de l'Islam.
