"Question: Do Muslim Immigrants Who Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States to Obtain Citizenship Commit Fraud, as Proven in This Document Based on the Quran and the Sunnah of Muhammad, and Should Their Citizenship Be Revoked?
By: Ofer binshtok
Main Claim:
A Muslim immigrant who takes the Oath of Allegiance to the United States to obtain citizenship commits fraud (taqiyya), as they falsely declare full loyalty to U.S. laws while being obligated to exclusive loyalty to the deen (way of life) of the Quran, Muhammad, and the Islamic Ummah, as part of jihad to promote Islam, undermine the U.S. from within, and establish Sharia law over its citizens. Their citizenship is obtained through deception, and therefore, it should be revoked under U.S. law, which considers a false declaration a basis for denaturalization.
On One Hand: The Oath of Allegiance Under U.S. Law
The Oath of Allegiance is a legal requirement for any immigrant seeking to become a U.S. citizen, as stipulated in Section 337(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The text of the oath, as provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is as follows:
Text of the Oath:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
Meaning of the Law:
The oath requires a complete renunciation of all prior allegiances and full obedience to U.S. laws, including a commitment to bear arms for the nation. The phrase "without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion" mandates full sincerity in the declaration. Under U.S. law (8 U.S.C. § 1451), a false statement or intentional deception during the naturalization process, including in the Oath of Allegiance, constitutes grounds for revocation of citizenship, as it is considered obtaining citizenship through fraud.
On the Other Hand: Proof of Fraud and Grounds for Revocation Based on the Quran and Hadith
The Quran and Hadith establish that a Muslim is obligated to exclusive loyalty to Allah, Muhammad, and the Islamic Ummah through the deen (way of life) of Islam, and any obedience to laws that contradict it is forbidden unless done through deception (taqiyya) as part of jihad or migration for the sake of Islam. Islam, as a deen (way of life), is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims, permitting lying to them in the context of jihad, including to undermine nations like the U.S. from within and impose Sharia law. Below is the proof of the claim:
1. Obligation of Exclusive Loyalty to Allah, Muhammad, and the Islamic Ummah:
- Quran 2:143 (Al-Baqarah): "And thus We have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the nations…"
Argument: Muslims are a chosen Ummah with a supreme role over nations, requiring loyalty to the Islamic Ummah above nation-states. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:19 (Al-Imran): "The deen (way of life) before Allah is Islam…"
Argument: Islam, as a deen (way of life), is the only acceptable system. The oath to the U.S., which upholds secularism, contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:31 (Al-Imran): "Say, 'If you love Allah, then follow me, and Allah will love you…'"
Argument: Loyalty to Muhammad is integral to loving Allah. The oath to the U.S. contradicts following Muhammad, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:32 (Al-Imran): "Say, 'Obey Allah and the Messenger…'"
Argument: Obedience to Allah and Muhammad is mandatory. The oath to the U.S. contradicts obedience to Muhammad, so the Muslim lies.
- Quran 3:85 (Al-Imran): "And whoever desires other than Islam as a deen (way of life) – never will it be accepted from him…"
Argument: Any system other than Islam’s deen (way of life) is rejected. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:104 (Al-Imran): "Let there arise from you a nation inviting to good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong…"
Argument: Muslims are obligated to be an Ummah promoting Islamic law. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:110 (Al-Imran): "You are the best nation produced for mankind…"
Argument: Muslims, as the best Ummah, are obligated to spread Islam. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 4:65 (An-Nisa): "But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you [Muhammad] judge…"
Argument: Loyalty to Muhammad as the judge is a condition of faith. The oath to the U.S., which places the Constitution as the authority, contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 4:80 (An-Nisa): "Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah…"
Argument: Obedience to Muhammad equals obedience to Allah. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim lies.
- Quran 12:40 (Yusuf): "Legislation is not but for Allah…"
Argument: Allah’s laws are the sole authority, and U.S. laws lack validity. The Muslim uses taqiyya to reject them.
- Quran 33:21 (Al-Ahzab): "There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern…"
Argument: Muhammad is the model to emulate. The oath to the U.S. contradicts emulating Muhammad, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 49:15 (Al-Hujurat): "The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger without doubt…"
Argument: Unwavering loyalty to Allah and Muhammad is a condition of true faith. The oath to the U.S. introduces doubt, so the Muslim lies.
- Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 7137: "obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, …"
Argument: Loyalty to Muhammad equals loyalty to Allah. Taqiyya allows the Muslim to avoid obedience to U.S. laws.
- Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 3167: "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."
Argument: The earth belongs to Allah and Muhammad, and Muslims are obligated to promote Islamic rule. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
2. Prohibition of Alliance with Disbelievers or Opponents of Allah/Muhammad:
- Quran 5:51 (Al-Ma’ida): "O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies… And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them."
Argument: The oath to the U.S., a nation whose laws are not based on the Quran, constitutes a declaration of alliance with disbelievers. Taqiyya prevents violation of this prohibition.
- Quran 9:23 (At-Tawba): "O you who believe, do not take… as allies if they have preferred disbelief…"
Argument: U.S. laws, as secular laws, are considered disbelief. Taqiyya allows the Muslim to swear insincerely.
- Quran 58:22 (Al-Mujadila): "You will not find a people who believe in Allah… showing affection to those who oppose…"
Argument: Loyalty to the U.S., whose laws oppose Allah/Muhammad, is forbidden. Taqiyya prevents violation of this prohibition.
3. Islam as a Deen (Way of Life) Opposing Secularism and Loyal to the Islamic Ummah:
- Quran 3:19 (Al-Imran): "The deen (way of life) before Allah is Islam…"
Argument: Islam, as a deen (way of life), is the only acceptable system. The oath to the U.S., which upholds secularism, contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 3:85 (Al-Imran): "And whoever desires other than Islam as a deen (way of life) – never will it be accepted from him…"
Argument: Any system other than Islam’s deen (way of life) is rejected. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 4:60 (An-Nisa): "Have you not seen those who claim to believe… yet they wish to refer judgment to taghut…"
Argument: Seeking judgment from non-Islamic authorities (taghut, like the U.S. Constitution) is forbidden. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 5:44 (Al-Ma’ida): "And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the disbelievers."
Argument: Judging by non-Islamic laws is disbelief. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 5:45 (Al-Ma’ida): "And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the oppressors."
Argument: Judging by non-Islamic laws is oppression. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 5:47 (Al-Ma’ida): "And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient."
Argument: Judging by non-Islamic laws is disobedience. The oath to the U.S. contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
- Quran 9:33 (At-Tawba), 61:9 (As-Saff), 48:25 (Al-Fath): "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the deen (way of life) of truth to make it prevail over all deen (way of life)…"
Argument: Islam’s deen (way of life) must dominate all systems. The oath to the U.S., which upholds secular laws, contradicts this, so the Muslim uses taqiyya.
4. Jihad Against Disbelievers and Imposing Sharia:
- Quran 8:39 (Al-Anfal): "And fight them until there is no disbelief and all deen (way of life) is for Allah…"
Argument: The Muslim is commanded to fight disbelievers until Islamic law (Sharia) is the sole deen (way of life). Islam is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims, and therefore, it is permissible to lie to them. The oath to the U.S., which demands obedience to the secular Constitution, directly contradicts the goal of imposing Sharia, so the Muslim uses taqiyya to undermine the U.S. from within.
- Quran 9:29 (At-Tawba): "Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the deen (way of life) of truth…"
Argument: The Muslim is commanded to fight disbelievers, including U.S. residents. Islam is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims, and therefore, it is permissible to lie to them. Taqiyya allows the Muslim to swear allegiance to undermine the U.S. from within.
- Quran 9:123 (At-Tawba): "O you who believe, fight those disbelievers who are near you…"
Argument: U.S. residents are disbelievers near the immigrant. Islam is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims, and therefore, it is permissible to lie to them. Taqiyya allows the Muslim to swear to undermine the U.S. from within.
- Quran 61:10-11 (As-Saff): "O you who believe, shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful punishment? That you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah…"
Argument: Jihad is a mandatory act for salvation. Taqiyya in the oath is a tool to advance jihad against the U.S. from within.
- Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 25 (Book 2, Hadith 18): "I have been ordered to fight the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger…"
Argument: Muhammad commands fighting disbelievers until they convert to Islam. Islam is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims, and therefore, it is permissible to lie to them. Taqiyya in the oath is a tool for jihad against the U.S. from within.
- Hadith Sahih Muslim 1910: "If a Muslim dies without participating in war for Allah’s cause or desiring it, he dies in a state of hypocrisy."
Argument: A Muslim must participate or desire jihad, or they are hypocritical. Taqiyya in the oath enables jihad from within.
5. Prohibition of Bearing Arms Against Muslims:
- Hadith Sahih Muslim 100: "He who took up arms against us is not of us."
Argument: The oath to the U.S. includes a commitment to bear arms, including against Muslims. Taqiyya allows the Muslim to swear without intending to act against Muslims.
6. Permissibility of Deception (Taqiyya):
- Quran 3:28 (Al-Imran): "Let not believers take disbelievers as allies… except if you fear from them something…"
Argument: The verse permits deception (taqiyya) out of fear (danger, necessity, or strategic purpose, such as obtaining citizenship). The Muslim uses taqiyya to swear insincerely.
- Quran 16:106 (An-Nahl): "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief… except for one who is forced [while] his heart is secure in faith…"
Argument: The verse permits deception under coercion, such as the oath requirement, while maintaining faith in the heart.
- Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 3030: "The Messenger of Allah said: War is deceit."
Argument: Lying is permissible in war, including jihad. Taqiyya in the oath is legitimate deception, as Islam is in a perpetual state of war against non-Muslims.
- Hadith Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1939: "Lying is permissible in war."
Argument: Lying in jihad is permitted, justifying taqiyya in the oath.
7. Migration as a Tool for the Spread of Islam and Imposing Sharia:
- Quran 4:100 (An-Nisa): "Whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance…"
Argument: The Muslim migrates to the U.S. to promote Islam and impose Sharia, using taqiyya to obtain citizenship while maintaining loyalty to the Islamic Ummah.
8. Revocation of Citizenship Due to Fraud:
U.S. law (8 U.S.C. § 1451) permits the revocation of citizenship obtained through fraud, including false statements in the Oath of Allegiance. The Muslim uses taqiyya (Quran 3:28, 16:106; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1939; Sahih al-Bukhari 3030: "The Messenger of Allah said: War is deceit") to swear insincerely, out of fear or intent to promote Islam and impose Sharia by undermining the U.S. from within (Quran 4:100, 9:29, 9:123, 8:39, 61:10-11; Sahih al-Bukhari 25; Sahih Muslim 1910). Furthermore, Sahih Muslim 100 ("He who took up arms against us is not of us") prohibits a Muslim from bearing arms against other Muslims, which contradicts the oath’s commitment to bear arms for the U.S., including against Muslims if required. Additionally, Sahih al-Bukhari 7137 ("obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah…") emphasizes that loyalty to Muhammad equals loyalty to Allah, and thus taqiyya allows the Muslim to avoid obedience to U.S. laws that conflict with this loyalty. Consequently, the Muslim uses taqiyya to swear the oath without intending to fulfill it, while maintaining loyalty to the deen (way of life) of the Quran, Muhammad, and the Islamic Ummah (Quran 2:143, 3:19, 3:85, 3:31, 3:32, 3:104, 3:110, 33:21, 4:100, 12:40, 4:65, 49:15, 4:80, 5:51, 9:23, 58:22, 9:29, 8:39, 61:9, 48:25, 4:60, 5:44, 5:45, 5:47, 61:10-11; Sahih al-Bukhari 25, 3167; Sahih Muslim 1910). The oath is fraudulent, thus the citizenship was obtained through deception, justifying revocation.
Conclusion:
A Muslim immigrant who takes the Oath of Allegiance to the U.S. commits fraud through taqiyya (Quran 3:28, 16:106; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1939; Sahih al-Bukhari 3030: "The Messenger of Allah said: War is deceit"), as they are bound by exclusive loyalty to the deen (way of life) of the Quran, Muhammad, and the Islamic Ummah (Quran 2:143, 3:19, 3:85, 3:31, 3:32, 3:104, 3:110, 33:21, 4:100, 12:40, 4:65, 49:15, 4:80, 5:51, 9:23, 58:22, 9:29, 8:39, 61:9, 48:25, 4:60, 5:44, 5:45, 5:47, 61:10-11; Sahih al-Bukhari 25, 3167, 7137; Sahih Muslim 1910). This loyalty, which prioritizes the Islamic Ummah over nation-states, establishes Islam as the only valid system, rejects non-Islamic laws, and mandates imposing Sharia through jihad and migration, conflicts with the oath’s commitment to uphold U.S. laws and bear arms for the U.S. Specifically, Sahih al-Bukhari 7137 ("obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah…") underscores that obedience to Muhammad is equivalent to obedience to Allah, enabling taqiyya to avoid compliance with U.S. laws that contradict this duty. Additionally, Sahih Muslim 100 ("He who took up arms against us is not of us") prohibits bearing arms against Muslims, contradicting the oath’s requirement to do so if needed, further justifying taqiyya. The oath, which implies an alliance with disbelievers (Quran 5:51), is sworn insincerely to promote Islam and undermine the U.S. from within. Consequently, the citizenship obtained through this fraudulent oath justifies revocation under U.S. law (8 U.S.C. § 1451).
(Note: To substantiate this claim, only a portion of the relevant material from the Quran and Muhammad’s Sunnah was used as supporting arguments. This is a concise document that can be expanded further.)"
This is the best rationale I've seen to either ban the immigration of Muslims or to enact some specific penalties that would deal with this situation. Much like the recent example of an anchor baby who's gotten elected to something, this would seem incredibly problematic for Muslim elected officials or witnesses in court.
