All non-Muslims had to do to achieve equality under Islam was to stop being non-Muslims.
You may remember Prof. Jonathan Brown, a Muslim convert who teaches Islamic civilizations at Georgetown, from his prior defense of Islamic rape and slavery.
“I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody,” Jonathan Brown explained to attendees at his lecture. “Slavery cannot just be treated as a moral evil in and of itself.”
To a man who argued that slavery was wrong, Brown retorted, “How can you say, if you’re Muslim, the Prophet of God had slaves. He had slaves. There’s no denying that. Was he—are you more morally mature than the Prophet of God? No you’re not.”
When Brown had been asked in the past about the women and girls sold and raped by ISIS based on Islamic law, he defended the Islamic practice of sex slavery, “There is no doubt that the Quran and Sunna permit this.”
So too when defending Mohammed’s sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl, Brown insisted, “You cannot say from a Sharia perspective that what the prophet did was wrong because the prophet can’t commit sins.”
“A male owner of a female slave has the right to sexual access to her… her ‘consent’ would be meaningless since she is his slave,” Brown had also explained in the past.
“Slave women do not have agency over their sexual access, so their owner can have sex with them,” he appears to have written on Facebook.
Had anyone tried to justify southern slavery, they would have been canceled until the end of their days, but defending Islamic slavery is okay and so Brown remains a respected scholar.
Now, Brown decided to pontificate on Islamic discrimination against non-Muslims. “So, in general, it’s correct to say that in Islamic civilization, both in theory and in practice, non-Muslims living under Muslim rule were called dhimmis and were lower in status than Muslims. But all they had to do to become part of this elite was say ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’”
(Quote corrected to properly identify the deity worshiped by Muslims as ‘Allah’ without the misleading use of ‘God’ to imply commonality with pre-existing monotheistic religions such as Judaism and Christianity.)
All non-Muslims had to do to achieve equality under Islam was… to convert and stop being non-Muslims. Conversely, then Muslims can’t complain about discrimination since all they have to do is convert. But we know that logic only works one way.
Brown’s job is to argue that it’s no big deal that Islam had slaves or oppressed non-Muslims, but the shoe is never meant to go on the other foot.
Then Brown argued that discriminatory clothing was actually beneficial to non-Muslims. “In various eras and places Christians and Jews and Zoroastrians and Buddhists had to wear certain colors or items of clothing to identity themselves, but this was completely normal in a pre-ID world and was often embraced by those minorities as means of preserving/policing their own communal boundaries.”
Completely normal. Like slavery, genocide and oppression. What are you guys complaining about anyway?
Much of the postmodern business of evil is this sort of relativism. And Islamists turn that to their advantage. Rape, genocide and oppression are no big deal. But a cartoon of Mohammed? Now that’s an atrocity.
POLEMEC says
who the hell wants to observe ” shirk ” and convert to Satan and slavery ? and this is an educated man ; a professor ..really ?
Westpacwill says
It can’t work both ways. Muslims do not have the option of leaving Islam for another religion, or no religion, because the Qur’an is very clear — leaving Islam demands a death penalty. It’s no big secret or lie — dhimmitude, slavery, rape, and murder are simple facts in Islam from the 7th Century up to this very day.
And any Muslim who kills an apostate is sanctioned, with murders even of sons or daughters (honor killings) seen regularly in the news, even in the United States, Great Britain, and every other non-Islamic nation with Muslim family emigrants.
This professor condones not only the oppression of dhimmitude, slavery, and rape, but murder too. To even mention Qur’anic commands for all these horrific acts (the Prophet did them so they must be okay), is “Islamophobia” (eek) so it is speaking the plain truth about Islam, from its own Qur’an, that is the only real crime? He’s an Islamic scholar, so it must be true, right?
truth matters says
He’s a miseducated self hating narcissist.. Most followers of Satan are..
This website is Great, thanks for all the truth you guys share..!!
Excellent comment section, i’ve learned a lot from many of you.. Thanks Robert!!!!
bill says
Mohammad cannot commit sins. Odd considereing he sinned quite a lot.
The Muslim world for the most part do not sign up to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
claiming they have their own human rights. I wonder if Mr Brown is aware of that..
How on earth is this dangerous fanatic allowed to continue teaching students? Especially in a famous university? He appears to believe that human beings have no rights about their own person.
Wiould he be happy to be a slave himself?
Troybeam says
Brown trying to make evil legit, what a sick person.
bagsgroove says
Good name for a piece of brown shit.
Pray Hard says
Exactly. This is the evil we’re fighting.
SKA says
Brown aptly illustrates the fallacy of charismatic exceptionalism. If by definition the ‘Prefect Man’ could never sin by commiting murder, plunder, rape, violence and deceit since he is also an ‘exemplary pattern of conduct’ then his followers may also murder, rape, create mayhem and deceive. But of course the non-Muslim Jews and Christians may not do so. Because they are actually answerable to a truly moral God Who holds all men to the same moral law.

somehistory says
He’s beyond evil. but, then all *devout* mozlums are. They are all lusty psychopaths who enjoy hurting and doing injury to others, while imagining the rape they wish to do to all of the beautiful *infidel* babies, young children and women..
The only “perfect” thing his sack of feculent matter, the fake prophet was, was “perfectly demonically disgusting,” as he committed mass-murder, raped children, sold humans into sex-slavery, and lived his life….short though it may have been if he even existed outside the evil, filthy minds of those who wrote the book of unholy demon lies…as a son and slave of satan the devil. A **son** and ***slave*** of satan, the demon snake.
This scummy creature shouldn’t be *teaching* anyone anything. He will fully deserve the harvest he is set to reap. “Like *father* like son.”
End PC says
I have to believe such Professors are highly paid somehow by Qatar or Saudi Arabia to spew the insanity they spew. Some evil creatures will do anything for money.
FYI says
Brown,like most converts to the evil cult of islam,is like a salesman for a square tire company,desperately trying to sell his laughably preposterous product to the naive and foolish.
Given all the errors in the koran{scientific and Theological see koran 5:116} it is obvious that the author of the koran is not “the knower of all things” as he claims in koran 2:29
So,how can allah be God if he is provably NOT omniscient,omniscience being a necessary requirement to be God?
If allah lacks omniscience:the author of the koran is HUMAN
Disco Dave says
Only in the West can a man have that opinion and teach it at a major institution. Islam is gonna crest of a wave right now and with the Elites and the Establishment on its side, nurturing it, protecting it and promoting it, I’m not sure how it can be stopped.
Frank Hannon says
Only academia can accommodate intellectual, moral depravity of this ilk, ESPECIALLY Jesuitical academia.
Congratulations, Georgetown U.; you’re making a strong case in the race to the bottom.
Westman says
All of Brown’s claims rely on Allah being God which Allah is not.
Allah is a fabrication constructed and codified in the 7-8th centuries while creating a religious/public eschatology to motivate men to conduct a war of expansion and the collection of wealth previously owned by other tribes.
Of, necessity it included sex slaves and booty for the warriors, and the dis-empowerment of women so they would have little choice except to allow brutish behavior, extramarital sex with salves, and polygamy. Imagine as a wife, wondering how many captives he violated and if he’s currently dreaming of the next batch. Worse, yet, maybe he will bring one home.
The plundering must have helped get more male converts, the only ones that mattered: “We took your wife Ahmed, but you can have 4 more, booty, and free sex with captives – if you join us and declare Allah and Muhammad. Otherwise we’ll kill you. What is your decision?”
Don’t we suspect Prof. Brown has climbed the academic ladder and found it’s leaning on the wrong wall?
Hoi Polloi says
“Georgetown University received improperly disclosed gifts and contracts from Chinese, Saudi Arabian and Qatari foreign entities, states a recently released report from the U.S. Dept. of Education.”
“Nearly all of Georgetown’s foreign money reported for 2018 came from sources in Qatar, including $33M from the Qatar Foundation.”
So am I to assume that if the KKK or Cannibalists United gave $33M per year, Georgetown would be pushing their POVs? Seems a rational expectation.
PMK says
How about Western societies telling Muslims: if you want to avoid any and all signs of Islamophobia and avoid anything Islam deems haram, then all you have to do is move to an OIC country.
James Lincoln says
Prof. Jonathan Brown:
Do us all a favor and move to Gaza.

I’ve watched some of this guy’s videos (tho not recently). He’s …. interesting, in the way leprosy is interesting to a student of degenerative diseases. A window into the Islamic mind, wearing western trappings.
He has a little boy who showed up in one of his videos, and I was struck by the boy’s bearing — not like an American child at all, but very much like we see in Middle Eastern children (of the sort who have already been taught to hate infidels, or whose fathers are Jihadis). A weird combination of fear (of being weak) and arrogance.
Alena says
Very correct. Fear for Allah and arrogance for us.
OLD GUY says
And just why is this scum bag teaching at Georgetown a school I believe named after George Washington.
Lisa T. says
I have a very fertile imagination and like to think of the expression of disbelief when this pathetic fool realizes that there are no perpetual virgins in paradise just waiting to be deflowered for eternity.
“You mean the Sunday people were right?”
“Oh, no… I’m melting. I’ve never lived in the Middle East. I’m not used to this heat. Ouch, ouch, ouch.”
“I think my grandparents were Christian. Does that count?”
Sorry!!!
