I am from a city called Jerash, today it is insignificant, a forgotten, decaying place. But once, it was great. It was Jarasa, a thriving city of the Greco-Roman world, a beacon of culture, knowledge, and civilization. Then, Islam arrived. My ancestors were forced to convert, their heritage erased, and their land stripped of its brilliance. What was once a center of civilization became a ruin, another casualty of Islam’s relentless march. This wasn’t just Jerash. It was Lebanon. It was Syria. It was Iraq. It was Egypt. These lands weren’t always the Islamic backwaters they are today. They were hubs of knowledge, trade, philosophy, and empire. Then Islam came. It deformed them, crushed their identities, and plunged them into centuries of regression. Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, of towering pyramids, of an empire that shaped history, was swallowed by an ideology that replaced its greatness with religious stagnation. Islam was the greatest colonial project in history. It expanded by force, erasing entire civilizations and replacing them with submission to an Arab warlord from the 7th century. And yet, the stupid Western left, the so-called defenders of “decolonization,” bend over backward to give Islam a pass. They scream about colonialism when it comes to the West but ignore the Islamic colonization of entire peoples, cultures, and lands. They want to hand the West over to the very force that already destroyed the East.
