Who would have guessed that the next trendy, chic thing among America’s addled and miseducated youth would be Islam?
It was perhaps inevitable that young secular Westerners, their self-centered lives achingly meaningless, would gravitate to the only force that seems to present an alternative to the culture of materialism, hedonism, and increasing madness in which they’ve been marinating since birth. But many of these people are likely to wake up in the morning with a massive buyer’s remorse headache.
First, there was the Osama bin Laden craze on TikTok. Hordes of witless millennials suddenly discovered the terror titan’s 2002 letter to America and professed to find wisdom in its whiny grievance-mongering and Jew-hatred. But that was just the beginning. Now the same disaffected, diseducated, and rationality-challenged millennials are embracing not just Osama, but the whole hog, or if you prefer, the whole halal enchilada, and converting to Islam.
High-profile “influencers” are driving much of this trend. First, there was former kickboxer and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate, who converted to Islam precisely because it sanctifies brute force and intolerance, qualities that he confuses with strength and sees lacking in the woke, relativistic half-men and men who think they’re women of the contemporary left. Following Tate into the Religion of Peace was the “Internet personality” Sneako, who is now doing his part to bring into the fold of Muhammad the legions of antisemites who have revealed themselves since Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre in Israel.
On Thursday, the venomously anti-Israel propagandist Jackson Hinkle, who has over two million followers on X, tweeted (X’d?) a video in which Sneako presents him with a biography of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. Hinkle wrote: “Thanks @sneako for gifting me the biography of the Prophet Muhammad. It’s already a very eye-opening read.”
It is indeed, although Sneako is unlikely to have given Hinkle a Muhammad biography that will enlighten the anti-Israel advocate about Muhammad’s violence, cruelty, Jew hatred, misogyny, and the like. Or maybe he did, as it could be that they both regard all those aspects of the Islamic prophet’s life (as it is depicted in early Islamic texts) as positives.
Either way, if Hinkle decides to convert to Islam, he could meet up with some interesting people in the new converts class at his local mosque. The UK’s Daily Mailreported Sunday that hatred of Israel and support for Hamas, so prevalent among leftists since Oct. 7, is now leading many millennials to embrace Islam, which they see as the “ultimate rebellion against the West.”
Some of these people should have looked before they leaped. One is a woman named Alex, who describes herself as a “leftist queer gremlin.” This particular gremlin has been going to pro-Hamas demonstrations and recently bought a Qur’an, made a formal conversion to Islam, and started wearing a hijab.
But has Alex noticed that the population of leftist queer gremlins in Gaza is vanishingly small? Is Alex aware of what happens to leftist queer gremlins in the Islamic land she so admires? Almost certainly not. But if she continues with her little rebellion against the West, she is liable to find out, and will likely be thinking as her tormenters close in that maybe the much-maligned West wasn’t so bad after all.
Inspiring Alex to embark upon this path was another new Muslim, Megan Rice, yet another TikTok “influencer.” Rice explained in a recent video that Palestinian defiance of Israel led her to Islam: “It just seems that Palestinians have this ironclad faith even in the face of losing quite literally everything.”
It will become abundantly clear to the world, once the ceasefire ends, that the Palestinians have by no means lost everything and have plenty of rockets and other weapons on hand, but Rice is unlikely to look back. The Mail notes that “she founded the World Religion Book Club where she conducts live readings of the Quran. The online community now boasts 13,000 members.”
It is unlikely in the extreme that Megan Rice or any of these other new Western converts to Islam have the faintest idea of what their new religion teaches. They just like the idea of rebelling against The Man, who in their thoroughly propagandized minds is a white Christian; they haven’t noticed that the people who have the real power today are those who share their hatred of Israel and are determined to destroy and are happy to see this Islam craze spreading among young people because it furthers their larger goal of destroying the West in order to pave the way for socialist internationalism.
By the time these young dupes wake up to how they’re being manipulated, it is likely to be far too late. But others in the West should realize how dangerous this blend of hatred of Jews, hatred of America, and embrace of Islam really is, and begin to formulate ways to counter the appeal of the noxious mix.

All I can say is AMEN! I am 64 and keep thinking about after WW2 and the Germans said ..we didn’t really know how bad Hitler would be!” It is frightening that ZERO media will stand up to this outrageous lie that keeps getting feed to young people!
Birder says
There’s ZERO media coverage on the lie BECUZ……….
the media is OWNED by the LEFT!!!!
We have to wake up to that fact!
There’s only this site and some others that are on the right who will say/cover/ be honest about the TRUTH! So how are the leftist commie Dems supposed to read/understand any TRUTH unless they find this site which, as we know, will never happen. Leftists don’t like truth anyway. They won’t search for it.
zippadee do da says
well inCanaDUH, our main MEdia aka CBC aka Communist Broadcasting Corp is FED AND FINANCED by the state so that makes it leftist but private ownership tends to be right wing Fox is MEdia and its hardly ‘leftist’ dont be so quick to hurl LABELS
Mark Dunn says
So in the woke hierarchy is a white male convert to Muhammadism higher in status than a dude wearing a skirt? Do black woman converts trump all, or do all women, real, fake, black, white, retain their second class status, as the prophet commanded? Pieces of sh!t be upon him.
Roark says
We need to establish penal colonies to remove these traitors from our country. The education system must be purged from top to bottom. Sedition is not education. Corruption of young souls is beyond the pale.
We need to extirpate these soulless ghouls from our institutions.
Çâşëğ says
Any queer who converts to Islam. Is like a chicken voluntarily walking into KFC kitchen to be slaughtered.
Michael says
Is Jackson Hinckle so antisemitic that they call him Adenoid Hinkle? (Hint: Charlie Chaplin)
DC says
The late great Tom Wolfe wrote a novel over 50 years ago called “Radical Chic”.
It was about white affluent yuppies who supported the Black Panthers and their black supremacist movement.
The Leftists of today are the kids of the Radical Chic.
Noah Andeark says
It’ll be Hillaryarious when they learn the truth the hard way and attempt to leave the gutter-cult of (p)islam.
allahu’s snackbar!!! It’s where I buy all my pork products. Mohammedelicious! Fit for a prophet! To die for!
Hannah Katz says
Another reason to think twice (or many times) before converting to Islam is that if one later tries to leave the “religion of peace” its followers have a tendency to murder that person. And they do so under orders from their religious leaders.
If their lives are spiritually empty, I suggest they visit the nearest church or synagogue that actually takes the holy scriptures seriously, with loving, welcoming congregations. I realize that they are not portrayed that way by the media or Hollywood, but clearly those latter folks do not know Schiff from Shinola anyway.
roberta says
Sneako is an odd combination of quick wit and stupidity. Ive been watching his podcast (in bits and pieces/on and off) for months. He has not had a profound thought in his life.
He plays with religion like it is a game. By the time he realizes Islam is no game, it will be too late for him.
He is leading idiots into Islam, like him, they are leaping before they look.
Kasandra says
Can’t wait until they discover what Islamic doctrine actually requires and prohibits and decide to leave. Then they may find out how the “crime” of apostasy is punished in Islam.
Intrepid says
Just wait until real bullets start flying and the Alex’s and the Hinkles will have only two choices. Abandon all the LGBT/Trans idiots on the campuses and join the real Muslim trash fighting on the ground, and crushed under the weight of the 52% of Americans that own guns, or abandon the whole Radical chic thing and hide in Mommy’s basement.
They may feel safe on an entitled college campus but that is not the real world.
Message to our little wannabe terrorists: Cutsie time is over.

Yes… satanic islam appeals to those who desire evil ways in their lives…
Thanks to America for the fake War on Terrorism… spreading satanic worshiping muslims across the world…
Angel Jacob says
Islam has two main parts. Lies and Violence. One supporters the other, an endless cycle.
When muslims are not actively participating in violence or promoting, supporting and inciting violence, they are busy lying to justify or cover-up their violence.
Once this principle is fully understood, everything falls into the place.
Young Americans are ignorant of history and world politics. They make perfect tools to be targeted by evil islamic propaganda and lies.
Islam is an ideology created by a full blown blood thirsty, hateful power-hungry psychopath. Psychopaths are experts in manipulating people’s feelings, specially the low IQ or ignorant people.
That’s the formula the free world’s enemies use to destroy it.
To counter a psychopath, or a psychopathic ideology the very first step is to fully reveal what it really is, and what it’s evil goals are. If any nation cared for their national security that should be made a mandatory education for it’s people, to make them immune to the islamic lies and propaganda. And most importantly protect the free nations from islamic violence.
Darryl says
What attracts the left to Islam is its absolute catastrophic failure. It’s nihilistic love of death, it’s cruelty, it’s hatred of those who succeed, it’s wanton lust of power, it’s disdain for truth; this is what leftist like too.
The left is a cult of death, and so is Islam since the rise of the MB to dominance.
Owie says
Islam is what I wish on my worst enemies. Why not encourage the left’s conversion?
Guy Crawford says
October, 2022, the White House hosted a meeting with more than 20 “TikTok influencers” when the president signed his alleged Inflation Reduction Act. In the NPR article, there is no mention of Barack Obama being there. Other reports said he was there helping with the education process. They were just taking the message to a younger generation. And, what message is that?
Joe says
It’s hardly new. Lenin advocated joining forces with Islam and introduced them to terrorism as a way to promote their political agenda. They’ve been fellow travelers (in the Leninist sense) for a long time. If you compare the ideologies it’s fairly obvious why.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Alex’s possible fate is nothing new. When Menachem Beginז”ל was a student in Warsaw he knew a young woman, a dedicated Communist, who dreamed of going to Russia and helping to build Comrade Stalin’s paradise. Begin met her again in Russia, a few years later, and she was, indeed, helping to build Comrade Stalin’s paradise. The part she was helping to build was the railroad tracks by the Pechora River.
RS says
Just imagine living your life to hate. Hate is a consuming emotion and blocks out a normal life of love, happiness, and unity. Imagine the plotting and lying to achieve the death of others, especially innocent children who are not partisan or anti-semetic until taught to worship the death cult. Death is embelished, not life. What kind of sick minds are obsessed with the culture of death and hades. Most of us never comprehend that kind of thinking.
richard johnston says
Maybe all the liberals will tell is about the verse in the Koran that allows for a husband to hit one of his wives. In the Koran that CAIR sent me gratis after 9-11, the footnotes for that verse indicate scholars disagree about the interpretation. (You couldn’t make this $%#@ up!) Some scholars suggest the hitting is only to be symbolic, “as with a toothbrush.”
If you never hear from me again it’s likely because I tried symbolically hitting my wife with a toothbrush.
I don’t think marrying a six-year old is defensible but hey, maybe a six-year old matured much faster 1400 years ago. Aisha was a drop=dead gorgeous six-year old.
