Walid al-Kubaisi (9 February 1958) is a Norwegian-Iraqi writer and author. He is noted in the Norwegian public for his strong criticism of Islamism.

Personal life

Al-Kubaisi was born in Baghdad, Iraq.[2] He migrated from the country to Norway as a political refugee in 1981 due to war.[3] He regards himself to be a "secular Muslim".[4]

Views

According to him, the hijab is a political uniform for the militant Islamist movement. He says that if Islamists are successful in making the hijab synonymous with Islam, the Islamists will have achieved a victory in the West which they have not been able to accomplish in Muslim countries. He also notes that the hijab was only created in the 1980s after Ayatollah Khomeini's Iranian revolution, and that it unlike national Islamic dresses like the burqa, is a dress exclusively created for the universal political Islamist movement.[5]

He claims that Tariq Ramadan is an Islamist, who "speaks with two tongues"; smoothly and articulate in the West, and purely Islamist in the Muslim community and the suburbs. He claims that Ramadan seeks to Islamize the West, but in a more patient manner than the likes of Osama bin Laden.[4]

He believe that the Muslim Brotherhood is the "mother organization" for the world's Islamist political ideology. He says that the Muslim Brotherhood has a plan to conquer Europe by the hijab, high birth rates and democracy; Islamists are exploiting Western democracy to reach their own anti-democratic goals.[5] His 2010 documentary Frihet, likhet og det muslimske brorskap discusses this, where he also interview several Arab intellectuals who support his claims.[6] He also claims that notable Norwegian Muslims such as Mohammad Usman Rana, Lena Larsen and Basim Ghozlan represents the ideology of the Brotherhood in Norway, and that Abid Raja of the Norwegian Liberal Party is a "running boy" for Islamists.[7]
