Former CAIR Florida Director Hassan Shibly: The Only Excuse Muslims Have for Living in the West Is to Change These Countries for the Better – Our Number One Priority Should Be Dawah; I'm Sure MEMRI Wi
Muslim civil rights attorney and former director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida chapter Hassan Shibly discussed the role of Muslims in America in an August 7, 2025 episode of Blood Brothers Podcast, hosted by British journalist Dilly Hussain and posted on 5 Pillars on YouTube. He said the only excuse Muslims have for living in Western countries such as the U.S., UK, or Australia is to change these countries for the better, and therefore the number one priority should be dawah, or Islamic proselytizing. Shibly added that he was sure MEMRI would produce a clip of these statements and 'blast' it. He said Muslims are not trying to take over America but to make it more representative of the ideals it espouses, adding that Muslims in America will be remembered for preserving the very soul of liberty and justice within the country.
