The Japan I knew and loved, having studied and worked there for two years back in the 1970’s, never would have allowed this to happen. Japan has never been very welcoming to foreigners and made it virtually impossible for foreigners to obtain Japanese citizenship and extremely difficult to obtain long term residency permits.
RAIR Fondation But today, the religious landscape in Japan is witnessing a disruptive and dangerous shift, primarily attributed to the increasing number of migrants from Islamic states and intermarriage between Muslims and Japanese citizens.
Estimates suggest that the number of Muslims in Japan has grown from 10,000 to 20,000 in 2000 to over 200,000 today, a ten-fold increase in less than one generation. This demographic shift has led to the establishment of numerous mosques across the country, which were once a rare sight.
The construction of mosques, such as the Masjid Istiqlal Osaka, funded by donations from Indonesians, highlights the growing presence of Muslims in Japan. However, this growing diversity is beginning to pose the same challenges and friction between Islam and every other religious community in Japan.
Coexistence as equals was something that Islam’s Prophet Muhammad promoted only when he did not have the power to conquer. In the full context of the Quran, ‘peace’ means submission, and ‘tolerance of other religions’ means not killing those members who agree to live in a subjugated status to Islamic rule.
Amidst the burgeoning Muslim population in Japan, a confluence of challenges and tensions emerges, driven by the inherent incompatibility between Islam and the indigenous Shinto religion. With Islam’s unwavering assertion of monotheism, it collides head-on with the polytheistic and animistic fabric of Shinto, erecting formidable barriers to harmonious coexistence.
Shinto has historically demonstrated an inclination to embrace other religions, including Buddhism. However, the compatibility between Shinto and Islam is impossible due to their divergent theological perspectives. Islamic teachings emphasize the oneness of Allah and prohibit the worship of any other entities, which conflicts with the polytheistic nature of Shinto.
A recent attack in a Shinto shrine by an unemployed Muslim migrant, Mamadou Balde, 29, on the Mizuoka Hachiman Shrine in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City highlights the challenges of peaceful coexistence between Islam and Shinto. The incident, caught on camera and shared widely online, resulted in public outcry and raised concerns among Japanese social media users. In Japan, an Islamic attack on a holy site unfolded at the Mizuoka Hachiman Shrine in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City. Security cameras captured the actions as he brazenly vandalized the shrine’s offerings.
Mamadou proceeded to kick the offertory box, causing significant damage. The security cameras also captured him tearing off a bamboo tube from the chozuya, a water basin used for hand purification, and forcefully slamming a wooden box onto another offertory box. During the incident (below video), a witness heard Mamadou shouting, “There is only Allah of Islam, so there is no God here, so don’t pray here.”
Most Japanese citizens do not understand that the purpose of Islamic migration, known as hijrah, is to start jihad, and the purpose of jihad is to install Sharia (Islamic Law). As stated in refugee expert Ann Corcoran’s book “Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America,” “Hijra remains the model to this day for jihadists who seek to populate and dominate new lands.” To emigrate in the cause of Allah is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act.
“I charge you with five of what Allah has charged me with: to assemble, to listen, to obey, to immigrate and to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah” – Quote from the Hadith
The Sayer says
First of all,, there is no Allah. Man created Allah. Even if there were an Allah, which there is not. people do not have to do horrible things to obey this Allah, the world can fight back with all its armies and weapons. There is no Allah, only people, especially old men, that perpetuate the myth of Allah. Muslims leave Japan alone. Muslims leave the Japanese people alone and do not destroy someone else’s property.
The Informer says
Japan is a very nice country. But, the Muslims and their religion will completely ruin Japan.
Conrad Calvano says
I have for long criticized Japan for their closed society policy and not allowing for immigration. Even refugees they do not take in, but instead provide huge amount as aid. Now the pendulum seem to be extending the other extreme and the Japanese are doing the unthinkable letting in Muslim! With an already low to negative growth rate of the native population, the peaceful community is guaranteed to increase their numbers in geometric population overwhelming the native population. No surprise that 20,000 in year 2000 is 200,000 today! If their Government does not intervene the day is not far off when Japan would be Japanistan.
myzz says
there are no law abiding Muslim folks, the only law they abide by is Islamic law (shari’a) , however they’re far too outnumbered to have the ability to impose as they’re doing else where right now
200K to 125M , I always get amazed by their blatant attempts to lie & decieve me when they claim religious tolerance & respect of others’ freedoms, they do as long as you abide by [their rules] once you practice real freedom you are done for to them & hell breaks loose , harassments in all kinds , law suits, mental instability accusations or even out right death by an “unknown” attacker(s) honestly they’d be doing them a favor by killing them as those soulless filth will enjoy their agony as if it was a comedy movie.
be it the west ,Russia, south America, Africa everyone is rushing to suck the Muslim dicks cleaning their assholes with their tongues asking for Muslims’ acknowledgement & friendship
to all of you demonic scums 🖕🏻 enjoy your shit show that you brought on yourselves

The Japanese people should be worried about this trend, and their government as well!
If they do not take actions as soon as possible against this worrisome trend, or development, they will regret it when it will be too late! I am surprised that they have not already protested loud and clear against this development, Europe is quite obviously heading for a disaster within a generation or so, but I never expected a country in the Far East like Japan allow Muslims into their country!
BareNakedIslam says
They are starting to but it doesn’t get much coverage in our media. Unfortunately, my Japanese reading ability isn’t what it used to be.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
As i have written, were will you run to?. This is what i mean by that ,then the invader will never ever leave any country in peace. No people to run is bad and cowardly, to stand and fight and maybe die is what we need to set our minds on and should you need and example then look at Israel, yep Israel because they have the problem since 1947 and they keep their state and its safe to walk there, not like here in europe were you have to stay at home after dark. We need to be as brave and solid as this folk and then we have no problems but the other way…well that means slavery or death and as one famous man in history said, Give me liberty or give me death. Take that to heart.

The problem is they can’t get out of line in Japan.
While Japs don’t care about hijabs, using loudspeakers 5 times a day during azaan would get their goats.
Most Asians are pretty smart. Japan vets all those who comes to their country from conflict-ridden lands.
Japan, like Singapore, will never allow preachers like Zakir Naik, Anjem Chaudhary, Maulana Tariq Masood or Maulana Tariq Jameel.
They must apply for a visa even for temporary visits, and their background gets in the way.
Singapore has a 20 percent Muslim population. We even have a hijabi woman for President (although the direct powers rest with Lee Hsien Loong, the Prime Minister.)
My wife wears a hijab too against my wishes (I dislike that thing so much). But there are no radicals in this country.
So far this year dozens of Bangladeshis were deported from Singapore back to their country. Of course they were all illegal overstayers but like in any other nation, that alone doesn’t qualify you for a deportation.
If you’re an illegal that works hard and behaves well, the authorities look the other way.
All those Bengals really did was post radical Islamic content on social media (something similar to “kill infidels”).
I believe Japan operates under similar guidelines as there’s a lot of intelligence sharing between the governments of Japan and Singapore.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Hey Gulam i hate the headbag too but i have nothing against headgear like the farmers here all women wear bandanas on their heads. As long as it is the free choice to do so its ok then everybody can wear what he she wants. That you dont like it i can understand. That Japan opened her door is new and frightening because the japan people are getting old and are ready for change as the invader says. See the phillipines, there you get a taste what japan stands before and its not nice. I say we live as long good as possible and when its over we grab our guns, no more no less.
Leonard Gearhardt says
OMG. Japan needs to get intolerant right now. Wondering what the authorities did with that shrine defiler… It’s going to escalate, of course.
I can think of useful outlet for young single Japanese males’ energy… perhaps.

Earlier today a Google Alert triggered on an Indian news site, which appears to be Muslim. It related the story with a link to one Catholic site which was careful to quote only the least extreme social media comments. The Muslims are worried that the video you showed is stimulating Islamophobia in Japan, possibly leading to a ban on he cult. After reading it, I searched in vain for furrther information, including here and at Jihad Watch. Your alert came in a few minutes ago. https://www.thehansindia.com/editors-desk/religious-extremism-a-serious-threat-in-japan-now-800477

Thanks for the link. I just knew the Japanese can’t be happy about this.

Nothing is sacred and nowhere is safe any longer. Evil is everywhere and it’s up to the individual to rebuke it because governments won’t. They are complicit.

200,000 Muslims in a population of 125 million
That’s still pretty low.

sixlittlerabbits says
Terrible to learn. Japanese have defended themselves against the Third World invasion so many other nations have welcomed. I just assumed that Muslimes were also in a very small minority. Have family in Osaka–too close for comfort.

This was a total shock to me.
