Press Release
Corrupting Activities, Outwardly Aimed at Development but Ultimately Aimed at Spreading Obscenity and Vice
(Translated)

Lebanese Parliament Member Najat Saliba said, "We tried to support the American University in spreading a culture of family awareness in Tripoli's schools, but the campaign was met with a patriarchal and racist approach.”

Her statement coincided with two lesbian members of an association affiliated with the American University, under the guise and name of the "Integrated Sexual Health Program for Women" at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, visiting a girls' high school in Tripoli, in coordination with the Ministry of Education! They then blatantly and shamelessly promoted obscenity and showed students indecent images and content, prompting parents to report to the school administration, which in turn stated that they had come to the school at the behest of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education!!

This is happening in Lebanon as if its people are experiencing no shortage of multiple crises—political, economic, and social—that have led to widespread corruption, decadence, poverty, and unemployment. They even go so far as to interfere in families, manipulating children's minds under the pretext of spreading awareness and education under the guise of modernity and openness! What kind of awareness do they mean and are planning for? What kind of education are they pursuing? What kind of openness are they hoping for?

Spreading deviant homosexual ideas in schools is a dangerous matter that aims to dismantle society by penetrating its nucleus; the family and its pillars, and allowing these lesbians to lie in wait for our girls and expose them to dangerous and vile topics such as these. The family in our societies is exposed to a fierce attack by a group of major criminals, politicians, leaders and intellectuals, who are working on accelerated and successive programs targeting Islam, its followers and all that stems from it of chastity, purity and honour. Their goal is to drown our sons and daughters in vice and corruption. It has become known to everyone that these programs are directly subordinate to the so-called United Nations under the guise of culture, civilization and urbanism.

Targeting schools has become the most common method used by these dubious organizations to introduce secularism, corruption, and homosexuality into the Muslim family. They do so under various and flimsy pretexts, marketed with resounding slogans such as supporting and developing talents, reproductive and sexual health, and guaranteeing girls' rights in all international agreements and conferences. These corrupt activities, which clash with Islamic values, are carried out under various guises, some seemingly promoting development, but in reality, they represent corruption, free mixing, audacity, and the removal of barriers between the sexes!

It is well known that education is one of the most important sectors that affects the present and future of the Ummah. So where is the state in this important sector?! And how long will it remain hostage to international organizations and their corrupt programs?! And why do these abhorrent things take place without the knowledge and awareness of the relevant ministries, as they claim?! They always disavow such programs and workshops for such suspicious associations that roam freely, and even open all closed doors for them under the pretext of awareness and education. Especially since this incident is not the first of its kind. Similar activities have been implemented in many schools in several regions, especially in the north. Those involved in the Oxfam project calling for consolidating the concept of gender stated that the project targets Lebanon, and specifically the northern city of Tripoli.

Everything that is happening in this malicious attack is against the innate nature (fitra) which Allah created in people. They aim to strip us of our values, virtue, chastity and purity. Therefore, it is our duty to stand up against all this corruption and corrupting, and to work to pursue them, expose their plots and reveal their methods directly and clearly. They are no longer fighting us from behind a veil, but rather they are openly targeting our Deen, our pride, our dignity and our values, without shame. This is what the sincere and aware people of this country are striving to achieve, they are vigilant against every detail that attacks our Deen, the rulings of our true Shariah and the morals and virtues that emanate from it.

We call on all concerned to work to extinguish all malicious sparks from the start, and we support those who are sincere and aware of the deceit and malice of these associations and their followers to enlighten female students and their guardians about their Deen and the importance of its laws. The issue is greater than a matter of talents, scholarships, and artificial rights. Rather, it is a fierce war waged by the West and its followers, including international organizations, institutions, and paid agent rulers, against the Muslim families to force them to abandon Islam.

Combating this secular tide in Lebanon and in all Muslim countries can only be achieved by establishing a single state ruled by a single ruler that unites the Islamic Ummah, and implements Allah’s law and the Sunnah of His Messenger (saw), in laws and institutions that preserve the great role of the Muslim family in raising righteous and upright generations.

This state is the upcoming Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, Allah willing. Every Muslim must shoulder his responsibilities and adhere to the trust that Islam has entrusted him with: «كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ...»،“Each of you is a guardian and each of you is responsible for his subjects…” Everyone, men and women, must stand up to these programs that seek to destroy the Deen. Everyone is called upon to stand up against the ruwaibidha (insignificant ignorant) rulers who do not respect the Deen and do not protect the honour. They are the evil itself and a grave danger. If we do not do so, Allah’s punishment will befall us. The Prophet (saw) said: «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي ثُمَّ يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُغَيِّرُوا ثُمَّ لَا يُغَيِّرُوا إِلَّا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَعُمَّهُمْ اللهُ مِنْهُ بِعِقَابٍ» “If acts of disobedience are done among any people and they do not change them though they are able to do so, Allah will soon punish them all”. (Extracted by Abu Dawud).
