Washington Imam Calls for Islamic State of North America by 2050 in September 11 Sermon

An imam at the As Sabiqun mosque in Washington, D.C. called for an Islamic state of North America by 2050 during a September 11, 2026 sermon. He also dismissed the 9/11 attacks as a joke and promoted the conspiracy theory that they were a false flag used to target and divide Muslims.

What was said in the sermon

The sermon was delivered on September 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of the attacks. In it, the imam called for the creation of an Islamic state of North America by the year 2050. The sermon was given at the As Sabiqun mosque in the nation’s capital.

He also dismissed the 9/11 attacks as a joke, and he promoted the claim that they were a false flag operation that was used to target and divide Muslims.

What the 9/11 attacks were

On September 11, 2001, al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four passenger planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon outside Washington, and a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed.

The 9/11 Commission, the official US inquiry, concluded that al Qaeda carried out the attacks. The false flag theory has been rejected by investigators and researchers.

An Islamic state in America

The US Constitution prohibits the government from establishing an official religion, so a state founded on Islamic law would require the Constitution to be replaced.

What is not known

No comment from the mosque or from the authorities was included in the report, and it is not clear whether the sermon has drawn any official response.

Further details are likely to come from the mosque, from Muslim community leaders in Washington, and from any review by authorities.
