Dearborn, Michigan Islamic Scholar Usama Abdulghani: Israel Is Weaker Than Ever – We Must Finish The Mission; Can Things Ever Go Back To The Way They Were Before October 7? Israel Is A Goat Being Slau

Islamic scholar Usama Abdulghani said in his March 18, 2025 at the Shiite Hadi Institute Youth Community Center in Dearborn, Michigan that escalation by the "empire" in Israel and in the U.S., where people are "being disappeared for protesting," is a sign of weakness not strength. He said that Israel is now weaker than it has ever been, and he asked whether things can ever go back to the way things were in Israel before October 7, adding: "We're going to have to do something, we're going to have to finish the mission." Abdulghani gave an example of a goat kicking its legs up when it is being slaughtered, to demonstrate the perceived strength of Israel and America. Usama Abdulghani: "The empire that we can see, both on Israel – they're provoking, they're starting – and also, even from our side over here, we see that the empire is doubling down. There are innocent people being disappeared for protesting. What you and I need to keep in mind is this iron fist of the empire is not a sign of strength. This is weakness. [...] "Israel is now weaker than they have ever been... [...] "Can things ever go back to how they were before October 7 [2023]? We're going to have to do something. We're going to have to finish the mission. When a goat is being slaughtered, a goat kicks its feet. That's not a sign that the goat is powerful."
