Atlanta imam Dawud Mahdi said in a lecture at Masjid Al‑Mu'minun in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 11, 2025, that Muslims do not "turn the other cheek," that the Quran teaches them to fight, and that they must stand up to oppression. He said that Islam does not seek dominance, but rather it is a perfect lifestyle that will prevail and achieve dominance, as shown by the rapid growth of Islam in the world.
Mahdi also said that America is "not the big dog anymore," that it is being recognized as the bully that it is, and that its Judeo‑Christian ideologies do not work. In addition, he said that the Islamic nation has "failed miserably" by having allowed the Zionists, whose numbers are small, to control "everything in the world," but added that it is "not too late."
Dawud Mahdi: "If you break our peace – we are not of those who turn the other cheek. Right? We don't believe in no turning the other cheek. We believe in forgiveness, but the Quran has taught us how to fight. The Quran taught us that we have to fight against oppression.

"We don't oppress, We don't seek dominance. So when the Quran talks about this religion will prevail, it means that this lifestyle is so perfect that it's going to prevail. It's going to be dominant. It's going to be the prevailing idea. And we see how fast Islam is growing in the world today.

"America's not the big dog anymore. America's being recognized for being the bully that she is or he is. A big bully. America is being recognized for that. America's being recognized that the things in America, many of the ideologies in America just don't work. It's not working. This Judeo-Christian thinking, it doesn't work.

"We have failed as an Islamic nation, because we have waited to let the Zionists control everything in the world, and their numbers are small, but yet still they have more influence than all the Muslims countries together. We have failed miserably. But it's not too late."
