Boy Band Jihad: Mega Pop Star Pimping Islam on Your Daughters

By Debbie Schlussel

Jihad is sneaking into American girls’ favorite pop band.

If you have young daughters, then you know that the boy band, “One Direction,” is all the rage to young girls around the world, especially in the United States. As big, if not bigger than Justin Bieber. Recently, President Obama’s daughter, Malia, was photographed attending their Washington, DC-area concert. And screaming tween and teen girls greet them all over America. But, even if you’ve heard of the band, you probably don’t know that one of its members, Zayn Malik, is pimping Islam on your kids. That’s in addition to his Arabic tattoos and frequent donning of the keffiyeh, the official garb of Islamic terrorism.

One Direction’s Zayn Malik Proselytizes Islam to Your Kids

Malik, a devout British Muslim whose family is from Pakistan, has used social media to proselytize Islam to his primarily female fans around the world. He not only tweeted about fasting for Ramadan, but told fans that allah is the only god and that only Mohammed is G-d’s true prophet. Not the kind of thing you expect your kids to hear sandwiched in between cheesy, saccharin-sweet songs coming out of the mouths of over-moussed and over-gelled boy band tools. But that’s what’s happening. Check out the tweets, below, from Malik. “La ila ha ill lalla ho muhammed door rasoolalah,” is the militant statement Muslims say in their prayers every day, meaning, “There is no god but allah and Mohammed is the prophet of G-d.” He also retweeted this in Arabic from the extremist Islamic Thoughts Twitter account. The phrase is meant to say that only Islam is the true religion and only Mohammed is a real prophet of G-d. It’s part of the “Shehadah,” the Muslim oath of martyrdom that comprises conversion to Islam. Muslims constantly chant the sentence at anti-Israel, pro-HAMAS, and pro-Hezbollah rallies. I’ve heard them chant it, for example, at almost every such rally I’ve attended undercover in the Detroit and Dearbornistan areas.


And the scary thing is that millions of girls in America and around the world are infatuated with the members of One Direction, including Malik. He’s no dummy. He knows the power he has over these mindless girls and is using that influence to preach the Islamic faith to them and try to convert them. It’s dangerous. And there’s a reason he tweeted that he didn’t have a girlfriend on the same day he tweeted Islamic preaching. Hey, if you convert to Islam, you can be my girltoy. And it appears that Malik, after he was did well on Great Britain’s “X Factor,” was chosen for the boy band specifically because he’s a Paki Muslim, to appeal to that rapidly growing demographic in the UK. Managers, marketers, record companies, and agents aren’t stupid. They know that Islam sells in Britain, and they picked an Islamic face for the band. Who cares if he’s trying to convert your daughters? They gotta get paid.

When I was a kid, teen heartthrobs. like Rick Springfield and Shaun Cassidy, were far more innocuous and limited to TV shows, concerts, and fan magazines, like “Tiger Beat.” They didn’t try to impose their religious cult upon their female fans. Now, parents have far less ability and little time to read through the mostly innocent-sounding social media messages of boy bands to find the pan-Islamic propaganda tweets in between. But they must. Know the pop culture that is infecting your kids and know what it stands far.

Keep your daughters away from Zayn Malik’s enticing jihad. With the boy band One Direction, it’s all about pimping Islam amid the deceptive visage of angelic, effeminate boys in a band. Yup, for them there is definitely One Direction: facing Mecca.

And if you’re ever curious to see One Direction in concert, you can get tickets online here.

That’s utterly wrong. Zayn isn’t trying to convert female fans to Islam, and just tweeting those 4-5 tweets to all of your fans, doesn’t convince you to change your religion. Why can’t he talk about Islam? It’s his religion, for God’s sake! There’s no such rule or law stating that you can’t talk about your religion to your fans, is there? So please, get a life! I don’t even think there is anyone else who thinks Zayn Malik is trying to convert female fans to Islam, except you!
And only if you knew, what that tattoo on his chest means! I am a Pakistani Muslim and I understand Arabic and Urdu names. The tattoo reads “WALTER”, which is his grandpa’s name. He got this tattoo, in memory of his now dead grandpa. Don’t post false info. And unless you don’t know the truth, don’t act like you know everthing!

You are paranoid and completely insane This type of jibberish gives Americans a bad name Just stop and go away

Jaime on September 15, 2012 at 2:53 pm

You are ignorant, you know that? He’s not trying to turn his fangirls into muslims, that’s just naive and paranoid of you. And just because he says he has no GF it means girls who converts to Islam can date him? Congrats, you’ve just showed your lack of rational thought. And, btw, muslims are not allowed to have tattoos, so basically, he’s not a very religious muslim if he has tattoos.

MrAkmalDanish on September 17, 2012 at 9:44 am

you are o wrong why u think islam is a bad thing >???

and i really hope u well study more about islam and know more a bout it

Roory on September 17, 2012 at 2:15 pm

You are a chooth, and a son of a chooth. Google that if you don’t understand it dumass. You are speaking like a 10 years old.

Haa Haa on September 18, 2012 at 3:44 pm

How’s he a Jihadist, he clearly isn’t very strict in regards to Islam since he indluges in women and music etc.?

Yeah, Muslims are anti-Israeli bitch, and what? What’s wrong with being against a terrorist state which slaughters innocent women and children mercilessly, imposes their blockades on an entire city (Gaza), uses Palestinian civilians as human shields and violates more UN resolutions than any other nation in the world and steals the homes of Palestinian families.

Hussain on September 21, 2012 at 7:10 am

Don’t tell something that u don’t know. .
From your statement i knOw something that you’re not smarter than 5 years old children. .
Think more before saying something,

sanyourita on September 24, 2012 at 5:57 am

I’m not even mad. This whole blog was a really hilarious joke. Zayn is not trying to convert his fans to his religion. I’m not converting, and neither are millions of other girls just cause he talks about it. And by the way.. Tweeting about his religion is not that big of a deal. we’re talking about one direction. They talk about sex, they act gay with each other and curse. And your mad cause he tweets things about his religion? Lol nice try. That was really funny to read

Mica on September 24, 2012 at 3:13 pm

This blog is so true. Truth is finally told about this kid.

? on September 26, 2012 at 6:09 pm

Im a fan of the late whitney houston (RIP) , how often you heard she said “praise the lord” “”Praise Jesus” I was her fan for the last 15 years and yes Im still a Muslim . So you are a racist bigot

wh1234 on October 5, 2012 at 10:44 pm

You are retarded. He isnt a terrorist. Just because hes talking about his religion doesnt mean that he is trying to make us his religion. Christains talk about there religion all the time and no one has a problem with it so stfu and gtfo.

I Love One Direction on October 7, 2012 at 3:09 pm

Who cares u see Christina on twitter posting thing bout God you see them have tattoos of crosses n pictures of Jesus do we call them out of imposing a certen type of religion…no….do we sometimes chant some of the rings that people WE look up to a.k.a ZAyn yes you know why cause that’s our way to show them we apreaceate them and exept them. Calling out one person doing this calling out that one religion you might as well do the same to EVERYONE AND EVERY RELIGION. I have NOTHING against other religion and DEFENEY not to the person who hold that religion unless that one person gives me a reason I won’t like then but I would NEVER hold hate toward that persons religion so know what…. Go…..to…….HELL..!.. Sorry to others besides those who wrote this article if I attended you I an SO sorry :)n if you agree with this article stfu n gtof!!

You are a lame joke!

Carter jr on October 8, 2012 at 7:50 am

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous, uneducated and uncultured pieces of writing I have ever read. A sad and pathetic attempt to breed hatred in this world.

Grow up!

D on October 9, 2012 at 10:46 am

You right-winged american trash! You have got to be kidding me? I didn’t know that being proud of a religion made someone a terrorist? A minority of Muslim people are terrorists! And you know what, Christian terrorists exist too. You are a racist bigot who obviously succumbs to stereotypes. Shame, thought America had moved on from this racist crap. For the record the keffiyeh has been worn by Chris Brown, Kirstin Dunst, David Beckham and Ashley Olsen? WOW America’s sweetheart wearing a scarf around her neck? Must be a terrorist out to convert her followers! God this story is a joke! I live in Australia and quite frankly we are about 15 years ahead of you idiots morally, and I’m speaking about the trashy Aussies! WOW

B on October 9, 2012 at 7:40 pm

Complete Nonsense! Zayn is a muslim but it does not mean he’s a terrorist or whatever! You’re tlaking complete nonsence! Racist! Whatever religion it is, we’re all humans, right?

If there are over millions of muslims around the world, it means there are millions of terrorists! We should leave Earth! Where would you go? On Mars??

Nonsense & Rubbish!

Miishaa on October 11, 2012 at 10:05 am

Fucking idiotic comments… Did you even read the whole Article?
She didn’t say his a Terrorist, For fuck sake even if you just read the title you’ll see what’s this about, I’m really starting to get disappointed at peoples mind.
And she didn’t INVENT anything, All she gave was facts and his Tweets…

Ali on October 12, 2012 at 7:55 pm

“Keep your daughters away from Zayn Malik’s enticing jihad.” Do you even know what jihad is, you racist fool…. Your little article just shows how immature and narrow minded you are. Maybe you’re the one people should keep their kids away from because you’re on some personal hate mission. ““There is no god but allah and Mohammed is the prophet of G-d.” He also retweeted this in Arabic from the extremist Islamic Thoughts Twitter account.” Are you actually that stupid? It’s not an extremist account you moron. Get your facts straight because you sound like an idiot. And you obviously have too much time on your hands to be creeping all his tweets. It’s okay, we get it, you’re obsessed with a 19 year old boy you’ll never have, now get over it.

ToMIi on October 24, 2012 at 3:39 am

Dear Debbie,

You are seriously a deranged, dumb dick-head. There are many problems with your article, as the ideas you have conveyed are seriously wrong, and disturbing. This is coming from two 16-year-old girls, who have a thousand times more sense than you.

Problem number one: your usage of the word ‘jihad’ is grossly incorrect. The word ‘jihad’ means ‘holy war’. You are implying that Zayn Malik is encouraging the teenage girls of this world to begin a holy war, which is totally ridiculous and obviously untrue.

Problem two, your reasoning that Zayn Malik is trying to impose Islamic religion upon his fans is imprudent and foolish. How is wearing a plaid scarf, as costumed by the X Factor, even remotely similar to an Arabic headdress? What does an item of modern fashion have to do with Islamic terrorism? We suggest you ensure accurate knowledge of your writing subjects to ensure looking even less foolish and stupid than you already do.

If any other member of the band began to express their faith in any other religion, such as Catholicism or Christianity, on social media, would you find it necessary to write another article at this level of disdain? We think not.

To summarise, you are an idiot with ridiculously poor reasoning skills and very little knowledge, if any, on the topics you write about. Referring to peoples’ beliefs as cults are ridiculous, again highlighting your lack of knowledge on the subject. Your stereotyping of the Islamic faith is disgusting at best, and highly offensive to those who enjoy their faith without the moral implications you have inferred.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, however, we would suggest a re-visit to your level of reasoning and your skills in critical analysis and journalism.

Yours truly,
Bridget and Madeleine of Australia

Bridget & Madeleine on October 24, 2012 at 9:02 pm

Amazing. i do so love these right-wing nutjobs getting on their internet soapboxes to wax lyrical about the dangers of any and all foreigners…when EVERY SINGLE PERSON excluding native Americans in your goddamn country is a descendant of an immigrant. I guess the irony is lost on you people. At any rate, thank you for conforming to every negative stereotype of modern America, lady.

Wow.

aka on November 10, 2012 at 3:00 pm

I hope you will se the real truth! You’ll ask your self ” why? Why didn’t I became a Muslim” se you on doomsday. It will be painful for those who didn’t do what Allah told you to do. ALLAHU AKHBAR!

directioner122 on November 10, 2012 at 4:53 pm

heyho, there! how old are you? hmm… u’re just too clever to make these b*tch writings. lol. even i’m sure you’re not better than Zayn. Well, if he wants to convert his fans or all the Directioners to Islam, he just need to say it on the stage when 1D’s got a concert! But he doesnt! Is there anything wrong with tweeting such kinda Syehadah? hey, b*tch, wht bout the christian artists those tweet a name of “Jesus”? It never becomes problem, hey dummy! so it’s our right as MUSLIMS to tweet such kinda Syehadah and none’s got right to make it a problem! it’s our right to declare our religion!

Zaynster Malik on November 12, 2012 at 11:58 pm

hey, who pays you for this? you just make many people hate you and some of them are not Muslim! you just make your image gets worse and worse all the times! dont you realize that?

Zaynster Malik on November 13, 2012 at 12:02 am

well, you say that the september 11 2001 is a terrorist activity? well, wht bout fighting against Muslims while we’re doing nothing bad to you? is that no terrorist activity? well, you’re not clever at all to be a woman blogger!

Zaynster Malik on November 13, 2012 at 12:06 am

I’m with Debbie on this. I’ve been made to understand the actual nature of Islam. And it ain’t pretty. Read more about Islam’s true agenda and you’ll know why many fear and despise this religion.
Religion is about love, peace, freedom and ability to grow. Religion should never be about compulsion and fear.
Anyway, I like 1 direction but since I’ve found out about a Muslim member sending a message like that, it does make me uncomfortable. I’m alright with Christians sending preaching messages cos they are peaceful people. At least I don’t worry they’ll send a suicide bomber to kill my whole neighbourhood.
For the record, I’m Taoist. I only respect religions that do not make headlines worldwide by killing others via bombs and decapitation. Love and peace to all you angry people put there.

Jin Chee on November 23, 2012 at 9:34 pm

You fucking american rightwinged piece of trash. You are seriously mentally Zayn Malik was not chosen to be in One Direction because Islam sells in Britain. Get your head out of your and listen to some sense.Zayn Malik is a young man trying to make it in the industry. He was chosen to be in 1D because he is an exceptional vocalist. Btw, as long as stupid people like you are out there, the world will never progress morally.

Btw; Zayn Malik is extremely personal to him and it is his grandfathers name walter. Who passed away. This article shows just how ignorant and narrowminded you are. Who cares if his muslim? Its not his religion that he rose to fame for its his gorgeousness, personality and obviously his voice.

He is way more loved and known than you are. You are an ignorant bigot and its because of you that Zayn now has second thoughts about everything .

I think you, Debbie, are more dangerous than Zayn Malik with your arrogant condemning of Zayn simply because of his religion. Muslim extremists are but a small minority of the muslim community. Zayn is part of the mainstream islam which are generally but are more laidback people

Dont use the word Jihad like you know what it means, you freak. Unlike the jihad that it is publicized in the media as extremism. Jihad is actually to strive and struggle in the way of god. Which can mean to strive in your school to strive to be a better person, to struggle against unlawful desires such as sex outside marriage.

Get off your high horse Debbie everyone think their religion is the right one including you.

I suggest that you research islam before you make an article like this. All it does is show how stupid u are

Faiza on November 24, 2012 at 3:14 am

f u u dont know about him and yes islamic might be in his gene pool but it doesnt make him that i hope you get hell dont mess with any of one direction harry,louis,liam,niall, and ZAYN1 GOT THAT LEAVE THEM OUT OF YOUR STUPID BLOG
THANK YOU (NOT)

***** on November 25, 2012 at 10:58 am

GO TO HELL LEAVE ONE DIRECTION OUT OF YOUR STUPID BLOG THAT GOES FOR ALL OF THEM
THANK YOU (NOT)

All I can say, May You Rott in Hell..

This is very ignorant and a bunch of bullshit…you need to be more accepting of other religions and open-minded!!!!!!!

I cant stand stupid bitches!!!

Peace2ALL on December 3, 2012 at 9:26 am

What if I were to say you are pimping Christianity? Is that the point of this post? To convert people into Christians rather than Muslims? (Oh I forgot you were Jewish. -.-) But anyway as Zayn said Islam is the best religion. No one can change this. And by the way, he doesnt force people into turning Muslim does he? “Hey if you want to date me turn Muslim.” His girlfriend Perrie is non-Muslim and I respect that. So get the fuck off, no one wants to hear your irrevelant shit Debbie.

Sent from my iPad
Dear Mrs. Schussel,

It is with a great matter of urgency that I bring to your attention that your incorrect accusation of Zayn Malik “pimping” Islam on teenage girls reveals disgraceful qualities of a person who possesses religious intolerance. Firstly in my defense, the term “jihad” literally means to struggle for the mercy and praise of God (Allah). As such you are wrongfully utilizing the term in such a way that imposes a threat to his reputation. Allah is the Arabic term for God and I believe that there is no reason for inequality among religions. Don’t all religions believe in one and almighty God. To prove this there is God in Christianity and Judaism, Allah in Islam, and although there are more than one gods in Hinduism, there is one supreme God, Brahman.

Secondly you accuse him of tweeting Islamic military calls. Why do you have to associate Islam with war? Nowhere in the Qur’an (the Islamic holy book) holy war is mentioned. In all religions, there is terrorism and the media just chooses to highlight Muslim terrorists who are not even considered Muslims after their vile and cruel acts. In addition, doesn’t every single person and being on this planet have the right to freedom of speech so why can’t he tweet and be proud of his religion. Many other persons belonging to several religions post on Facebook and Twitter “Merry Christmas”, “Happy Hanukkah”, “Shubh Divali” and ” Happy Kwanzaa”. As such, do you believe that they are enticing Christian, Jewish or Hindu war?

Thirdly, you wrote that he received an Arabic tattoo on his collarbone, promoting Islam. His fellow band member, Harry Styles, also received a tattoo in Hebrew so why aren’t you bashing and insulting his religion. In Islam, tattoos are forbidden because it is believed that one must never scar themselves permanently. However, Zayn’s tattoo is in Arabic translating to his beloved grandfather, Walter. This portrays and demonstrates characteristics of Zayn possessing love and devotion towards his grandfather. Certainly and absolutely not wrong at all in my book.

Finally, aren’t in all religions there are missionaries of some form traveling to countries around the world in attempt to spread their religion. Why then must you admonish mothers to protect their daughters from the evil clutches that is Islam and Zayn Malik? During my lifetime, my distillation of wisdom reveals that in Christianity, missionaries are most prominently featured. Throughout history, it is a fact that European missionaries arrived in the New World to spread Christianity. As a result, why don’t you warn mothers to beware of these missionaries or is that you belong to this specific religion?

Due to unfortunate events that have occurred in the past, you and others have envisioned the Muslim society to possess terrorist behavior. I hope that at the end of this letter you have turned a new leaf and move on to higher standards. The world today needs and thirsts for knowledge on economy and saving the planet. Write and blog on topics involving in such activities instead of such dastardly and unjust accusations even though you might believe that the latter might appeal to a wider audience. I give thanks and appreciation to take time out of your busy schedule in reading this informative letter. I believe that you should acquire an improve understanding of the religion of Islam. Please respond.

Yours respectfully, 
Form 2 West Student,
Hillview College, 
Trinidad and Tobago, 
The Caribbean.
