- π‘ David Livingstone converted to Islam in 1991, driven by a spiritual search and a desire to understand the world.
- π― He views his research as "reconnaissance" to dissect and deconstruct the world we live in.
- π± The ultimate goal is to find ways to grapple with and confront injustice, contributing to solutions for Islam.
Challenges for Muslims in the West
- β οΈ Many Muslims in the West have adopted a secular, apolitical version of Islam, treating it primarily as a set of rituals.
- π This approach neglects Islam's "real purpose and mission" to actively confront wrong and injustice.
- π§ A key issue is "wahan" (love of life and fear of death), which prevents Muslims from making necessary sacrifices.
- π¬ The term "conspiracy theory" is often used to discredit discussions, causing Muslims to shy away from critical topics.
Islam's Perspective on Conspiracy
- π The entire message of Islam, as understood by Livingstone, involves a satanic conspiracy to mislead humanity.
- π The Quran frequently uses words like "plotting," "scheming," and "planning", which relate to conspiratorial activities.
- π The Quran provides a crucial clue to the origin of a secret society through the story of the angels Harut and Marut.
Tracing Occult and Secret Society Influences
- π¬ Livingstone's 35 years of research largely focuses on the origin of Freemasonry, linking it to the Quranic verse about Harut and Marut.
- π His investigation began with the Aryan race concept and its roots in occult ideas like Atlantis.
- β¨ He connects these historical threads to the Jewish Cabala, identifying influences from Babylon, Zoroastrian Magi, Greece, and Egypt.
Historical Hijacking of Islam
- π Western conspiracy studies often focus narrowly on a Western tradition of conspiracy.
- π Occult legends link the Illuminati, Templars, and Ismaili Assassins, suggesting the latter initiated the Templars into their doctrines.
- π¨ Livingstone argues that groups claiming descent from these assassins, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, have played a significant role in the "hijacking" and dilution of the Islamic message.
