In a brazen display of mockery and hostility, the terror-tied Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) has erected two billboards in Houston, Texas, just in time for Christmas. This campaign, accompanied by a video boasting about spreading Islam and distributing copies of the Qur’an, deliberately targets Christians and misleads non-Muslims under the guise of so-called ‘respect’ for Jesus. By distorting Christian beliefs and exploiting one of Christianity’s holiest seasons, ICNA seeks to advance its agenda while undermining the very foundations of the Christian faith.
While Muslims claim to revere Jesus, the Qur’anic Jesus is a hollow imitation of the Jesus in the Bible. Their goal is to create a deceptive illusion of similarity while asserting that the Qur’an offers the ‘true’ portrayal of Him. However, the two figures are not the same. Beneath this surface similarity lies a calculated perversion designed to refute Christian doctrine and glorify Muhammad. Islam also asserts that Moses and Jesus were both, in truth, prophets of Islam and that Judaism and Christianity—despite predating Islam—misinterpreted their own scriptures. This revisionist claim is part of a broader agenda to distort Christian doctrine and elevate Muhammad’s message as the sole truth. The Qur’an reduces Jesus to a mere prophet—a pawn in Islam’s agenda—denying His divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection. This is not a subtle disagreement but a deliberate assault on the cornerstone of Christianity.
In his promotional video, Imam Tauqeer Shah brazenly celebrates ICNA’s billboards, describing their message as spreading “Tawheed”—the Islamic doctrine of Allah’s oneness—which explicitly denies the Trinity and the divinity of Christ. The imam further boasts that these billboards are strategically placed to reach millions of people in areas like Sugar Land and downtown Houston, with the stated goal of encouraging conversions (Shahadas) and distributing Qur’ans. This is not about respect; it is a deliberate, targeted assault on Christianity during its holiest season.
The Qur’an explicitly rejects fundamental Christian truths:
- Jesus is not the Son of God (Qur’an 4:171, 19:35).
- Jesus was not crucified (Qur’an 4:157).
- Christians who believe in His divinity are “disbelievers” and “accursed” (Qur’an 5:17, 9:30).
- Christians are labeled as “the most vile of creatures” (Qur’an 98:6).
- Muslims are commanded to fight and subjugate Christians until they submit (Qur’an 9:29).
The imam makes it clear that these billboards are part of a broader dawa (Islamic proselytizing) campaign—designed to mobilize Muslims into spreading Islam aggressively. By twisting the figure of Jesus, ICNA seeks to exploit Christian symbols and the Christmas season to undermine Christian beliefs while masquerading as outreach.
In Islam, Jesus is reduced to a character of convenience—his sole purpose in the Qur’an is to affirm Muhammad’s claims and reject Christianity. Stripped of the wisdom, teachings, and profound actions found in the Bible, the Qur’anic Jesus serves as a tool for Islamic doctrine, devoid of depth or meaning.
Far from being a gesture of understanding or dialogue, this campaign is a calculated act of deception. Dawa serves as Islam’s frontline effort to lure non-Muslims into accepting its doctrine, all while advancing a hostile narrative that denies the true Jesus of the Bible. In Islamic eschatology, Jesus is prophesied to return—not as a redeemer—but to “destroy the cross” and eradicate Christianity entirely (Ibn Kathir’s Tafsir, Vol. 3, pp. 31-32).
This portrayal completely contrasts the New Testament, where Jesus embodies love, compassion, and redemption. The Qur’an strips Him of His wisdom, kindness, and sacrifice, reducing Him to a forerunner of Muhammad. It is blasphemy from a Christian perspective and a deliberate erasure of the moral and spiritual truths central to Christianity.
ICNA’s billboards are not just offensive but a calculated ideological attack. Islam’s doctrine does not respect Jesus, Christianity, or its followers. Instead, it harbors hostility, contempt, and a call for domination. This campaign reveals Islam’s uncompromising goal: the subjugation of all other faiths under its rule.
By targeting high-traffic locations in Houston, ICNA seeks to exploit the Christmas season to spread a false and hostile message about Jesus, actively encouraging Christians to abandon their faith. This is not outreach—it is an ideological offensive aimed at eroding Christian faith and asserting Islamic dominance.
In Houston, Christians and patriots alike must see these billboards for what they are—an affront to the Christian faith and a warning of the deep ideological divide between Christianity and Islam. It is time to stand firm, reject this deception, and defend the truth of Jesus Christ.
If this campaign goes unchallenged, it emboldens further efforts to erase Christianity’s foundational truths and replace them with Islamic revisionism. Christians must awaken to the reality of this ideological offensive and respond with unwavering faith and clarity.
