Haram Haqiqatjou #18: Accusing Dalia Mogahed of Architecting CVE

Background

Daniel Haqiqatjou has repeatedly and consistently attacked Dalia Mogahed, accusing her of amongst many things, architecting CVE programs. But Haqiqatjou knows better, and spreads this lie with the intention of slandering her name. While Mogahed was in fact part of a Countering Violent Extremism Working Group, this group was active prior to the existence of the US government’s CVE program. Haqiqatjou has spewed lie after lie in seeking the destruction of a fellow Muslim. This piece of investigative journalism by Ahmed Monem is an indictment of Haqiqatjou’s slander.

Haram Action

As Ahmed Monem states in his investigative piece linked above, “Dalia was invited to serve on the (unpaid) advisory committee of experts and Muslim community leaders before the development of the CVE program as part of her work as researcher with Gallup. She was there to present research that debunked the junk social science which claimed Muslim religiosity was an indicator of propensity toward violence.”

Evidence of Haram

Haqiqatjou almost certainly is aware that his claims are false and slanderous. Hudhayfah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The slanderer will not enter Paradise.” Additionally, Allah commands Believers in the Quran: “O  believers! Avoid many suspicions, for indeed, some suspicions are sinful. And do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their dead brother? You would despise that! And fear Allah. Surely Allah is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.” (Quran 49:12)

If Daniel Haqiqatjou was unaware of these truths, then we call him on to repent for his backbiting and slander.
