As part of a “campaign” by networks against Islam carried out in Argentina in recent weeks, the libertarian influencer reported Fat Dan He published a lengthy post in which he spoke of “a belief system” related to terrorism. “Their religion is libertarian, murderous and pedophile,” he emphasized. The one who immediately answered him “as an Argentinian and a Muslim” was Zulema Menem. He claimed that “do not divide faith and confuse it with terrorism, yes.”
It all started with a post from Daniel Parisini (influencer’s real name), in which he shows an imam at the Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham, UK, explaining how to stone a woman according to Sharia law. In the video, the religious explains that first “They should drill a hole in the ground and bury the woman up to her waist.”. The leader of the “Powers of Heaven” accompanied the video with the text “ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL.”

The practice of professional and critical journalism is a mainstay of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe that they are the owners of the truth.
In response to this publication and among the numerous replies it received, appeared that of the deputy Alejandro Fargosi, who told Parisini: “Individual cases should never be generalized to an entire religion.“And he added: “With this out of the way, it is obvious that people who think the way this guy preaches are not entitled to a visa, residency or citizenship because they propose to violate the tenets of our Constitution.”
The greengrocer who disarmed an attacker on Bondi Beach said: “I didn’t want innocent people to die.”
Parisini decided to respond to Fargosi with an all-out defense in which he deepened his position and justified his generalization about Islam. In his message, the influencer took direct aim at what he defined as “the belief system” of this religion, questioning both its founding texts and the response – or lack thereof – of its followers to terrorist attacks.
“The problem, Alejandro, is when the belief system of an entire society “It is based on a book that advocates beating and stoning women – as the Imam explains here, according to Sharia law – killing people because of their sexual orientation, marrying 6-year-old girls or killing everyone who is not Muslim or has ceased to be Muslim and calling them infidels,” Parisini said.
In this sense, he explained that the focus should not be placed on isolated events or individual behaviors. “If Muslim individuals never – as individuals – condemn the terrorist attacks committed in the name of their God, let alone the local institutions that always keep their mouths shut, then the logical conclusion is that what is not working is not the individual behavior of each terrorist, perpetrator, rapist, pedophile or murderer per se. but the entire belief system in its entirety“Parisini wrote.

The libertarian influencer went even further and defended the generalization questioned by the MP. “From the start, the generalization is absolutely legitimate. Their religion is anti-freedom, murderous and pedophile“since its conception, since it was written, absolutely incompatible with the moral values of the West,” he noted.
In another section of the defense, Parisini invoked a concept from philosopher Karl Popper to support his argument. “Because I don’t understand what is nothing other than Karl Popper’s paradox of tolerance, namely Is that too tolerant of the intolerant? Europe has fallen from grace and will probably never recover“, he explained.
Finally, he linked his position to the political and economic direction of the country and to the government of Javier Milei. “We will not allow the same thing to happen in Argentina. President Milei did not achieve an economic miracle with our country so that we would throw it away in two days Allowing an invasive culture that worships death“, wrote.

The message ended with an appeal with an epic and nationalistic tone: “Argentina will resist and be a beacon to the worldan example of human greatness, because we Argentinians have heads and, above all, balls.”
These statements triggered a reaction Zulema Menemwho recalled previous connections with Parisini and the Buenos Aires MP Agustin Romo. “We have known each other for many years, since the early days on Twitter, when you and Agustín Romo began to get involved in the exciting world of politics, and I collaborated by bringing them closer to the leaders and rooms“, wrote.
In this regard, he recalled that he even supported them in initiatives linked to his father’s figure, such as printing T-shirts with sayings of the former president. “All of this is part of a shared history that deserves to be remembered with honesty and respect,” he said.

Zulmita claimed that his public intervention was motivated by a personal and religious belief. “From the bottom of my heart and as a convinced defender of freedom and the values that my father instilled in me, I feel the need to say it clearly and calmly: Confusing Islam with terrorism is a serious and painful mistake for those of us who profess this faith and reject all forms of violence, wherever they come from,” he said.
In her message, she clarified that she was speaking “as an Argentine and a Muslim.” and emphasized that acts of violence affect all of humanity. “When violence ravages the world, the victims hurt humanity as a whole, without distinction of religion, culture or belief,” he noted, emphasizing that this reality “should drive us to seek peace among people, not to deepen divisions or prejudices.”
He cited the recent incident in Sydney as an example. “The horror we recently witnessed in Sydney hurts all of us who believe in God and respect life,” he wrote, emphasizing: “It is not an insignificant fact, especially for those who unfairly attack our religion The person who prevented the tragedy from getting worse is of Islamic faith and acted as a true Muslim does: defending life.” According to him, this gesture was publicly recognized as “a heroic act” by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
A country and a world in imbalance
In another section of the defense, Zulema referred to the Muslim community in Argentina. “SMany of us Argentinians who profess the Islamic faith live in this country.. “We work and give work, we live with respect and we fulfill one of the pillars of our faith, helping the poor and orphans,” he explained. And he added: “We contribute to society and firmly believe in living together.” We deserve the same respect for our faith that we give to others.“.
He also recounted an episode that he said he had recently witnessed. “Yesterday it hurt me to see them filming A Muslim woman receiving terrible comments and words simply because she wore an abaya while walking through her neighborhood,” she wrote, bringing up a series of comparisons related to religious clothing.”What should happen when we see a woman wearing very little clothing, a Jew dressing modestly because of her faith, or a nun professing her religion?” asked.
“The answer should always be the same: respect,” he emphasized. “That’s what good Muslims do: we respect“.

Carlos Menem’s daughter pointed this out at the end of her message People who accompany President Javier Milei and his sister Karina Milei today “have Muslim rootsand that some of them profess Islam,” which, as he put it, “speaks of diversity, coexistence and commitment to values that go beyond any religion.”
Finally, he reiterated a central tenet of his position. “Humility, respect and equality before God are cornerstones of Islam,” he wrote, concluding: “Faith does not divide. Confuse it with terrorism, yes“.
