Exploring the Disclaimers of Youssef al-Khattab

BS”D

If you visit Revolution Muslim, one of several websites apparently managed by Youssef al-Khattab aka Joseph Cohen (yup, that’s right) you will encounter his lengthy disclaimer. Considering the contents of the site, as in contents of a septic tank, I recognize the wisdom of his attempt to cover all eventualities.

I doubt it will work though. Read the Patriot Act Youssi. If you are ever suspected of being a domestic terrorist, and the Feds decide to act on their suspicions, you will not be able to stand on your “constitutional rights” of anything. If anything you do falls under the jurisdiction of the Patriot Act, and the Feds do decide to take you in, your contitutional rights will be suspended.

I know, it’s not fair.

Well, I don’t want to keep my readers waiting any longer. Here is al-Khattab’s disclaimer:

DISCLAIMER:

We hereby declare and make absolute public declaration that revolutionmuslim.com operates under the first amendment right to freedom of religion and expression and that in no, way, shape or form do we call for war against the U.S. government or adhere to the enemies of the United States elsewhere. We do however hold the belief, as stated honestly and openly in our mission statement, that the Muslim world should be permitted to unite under the banner of Islam. To suggest that this in some way implies that the reestablishment of the caliphate would require the dismantlement of the United States government is fallacy. We seek, rather, to witness the imperialist ambitions of the United States government and especially the private tyrannies (corporations, financial institutions, military-industrial complex) that control it subside in their quest for empire and “full spectrum dominance” and we call for the relinquishment of autonomy and respect for sovereignty across the Muslim world to the people and not in the hands of the dictators, and authoritarian regimes this structure keeps in power by continuing to engage in foreign policy we feel is the root cause of all the terrorism in the world. This statement is a disclaimer and any and all information published on this website is in accordance with all local, state, and federal law and all donations and funds distributed both domestically and to the island of Jamaica go solely to further the objectives of the organization and are operated in accordance with laws for nonprofit religious, educational and charitable organizations in the United States.

This website is a collection of essays, articles, and publications for educational purposes only and shall not be deemed to mean that they are necessarily those of Yousef al-Khattab or RevolutionMuslim.com. Any and all messenger chats & emails sent to us may be published on this website.

After that (you can stop holding your nose now), treat yourself to the following post at The Jawa Report.
