When The Deen Show created a loving, fact-based response to the Alex Jones Infowars segment blaming Islam for terrorism, the intention was simple: to correct misinformation, present evidence, and extend an invitation for genuine dialogue. Rather than hostility, the episode was filled with respect and a sincere desire to educate. The Alex Jones team responded — but instead of engaging with the facts, they doubled down on the claim that Islam itself is a “radical ideology.” This Ramadan episode, featuring Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, provides a wise, evidence-based counter to these allegations while demonstrating that there is only one Islam — and it is a faith of peace, justice, and mercy.
There Is Only One Islam — Drop the “Radical”
“There is only one Islam. There is no such thing as radical Islam or progressive Islam or liberal Islam. Islam within itself means submission to the will of God — and it calls for peace, justice, and the protection of all human life.”
The Infowars team actually agreed with one key point from The Deen Show’s original response: there is only one Islam. But they twisted this truth to claim that Islam in its entirety is radical. The reality is that Islam — which literally means peaceful submission to God — has 1.8 billion adherents worldwide, the overwhelming majority of whom live peacefully, contribute to their societies, and condemn terrorism unequivocally. Blaming an entire faith for the actions of criminals who violate its core teachings is like blaming Christianity for the Crusades, the Inquisition, or modern-day hate crimes committed by individuals who claim Christian identity.
- The Quran explicitly states: “Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he has killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it is as if he has saved all of humanity” (5:32)
- The term “radical Islamic terrorism” was manufactured as a political tool — no mainstream Muslim scholar promotes terrorism as Islamic
- Islam commands Muslims to protect minorities, honor treaties, and never harm non-combatants — the opposite of what terrorist groups do
- The Alex Jones Show was invited to visit a mosque, sit down over iftar, and have a genuine human conversation — the invitation remains open
- During Ramadan alone, mosque open houses across America attract thousands of non-Muslim neighbors who leave with positive experiences
An Open Invitation During the Month of Ramadan
“We want Alex Jones and his crew to come — sit with us as brothers and sisters in humanity. If they like samosas and biryani, they are welcome. Mosques are not bomb-making factories — they are peacemaking factories.”
The Muslim community’s response to Islamophobia during Ramadan is not to retreat in fear but to open doors wider than ever. From dawah booths at cultural festivals to neighborhood iftar invitations, Muslims across America are taking the message of Islam directly to the people — and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. As Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, “The greatest danger for humanity is sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” There are two ways to be fooled: believing something that is not true, or refusing to let the truth reach you. This is a sincere invitation to every viewer — educate yourself, visit a mosque, meet the people inside, and let the truth of Islam speak for itself.
