A Vote for Zuhdi Jasser is a Vote for… What?
10th May 2026
He seemed a genuinely nice fellow, and appeared sincere in his commitment to the cause. He had attracted quite a following among well-meaning and progressive-minded non-Muslims, many of them Jews. He presented the tantalizing possibility that Islam could be transformed into a more an enlightened version of itself, one that would no longer be the religion of vengeance, violence, and bloodshed.
Was he for real? Or was it taqiyya? There was no way to tell. And it doesn’t really matter, because from a Counterjihad perspective Dr. Jasser is just is dangerous in either case. Islam can’t be, and won’t be, reformed from within, because it is an evolutionarily stable strategy whose core rules block any efforts to change it before they can even begin. Would-be reformers are blasphemers who must be killed.
Non-Muslims who look to Zuhdi Jasser as the great Islamic hope are wishful thinkers pursuing a phantasm. Opponents of Islam who put all their eggs in that basket are wasting their energy on a hopeless quest. And I’m sure that’s just fine from the perspective of the Muslim Brotherhood: “Let the foolish infidels chase after the good doctor! It will keep them out of our hair until we have sufficient numbers and have successfully penetrated all the major redoubts of their culture, after which we can strike the final blow and implement Sharia.”
