Iraqi Abrahamic Movement Declares ‘Abrahamic Revolution’ — Cites Quran on Jewish Brotherhood and Condemns Iranian Expansionism
In a landmark statement, the Abrahamic Movement in Iraq — led by Abu Musa Al-Iraqi alongside Sunni scholar Abu Musa and Professor Tom Wegner — invokes multiple Quranic verses to affirm the shared Abrahamic heritage of Jews and Muslims, while issuing a sweeping indictment of the Iranian regime’s decades-long campaign of proxy violence, sectarian incitement, and regional destabilization.
Key Points
- The Abrahamic Movement in Iraq issues a formal statement grounding Jewish-Muslim brotherhood directly in Quranic scripture — citing seven distinct verses from Surah Al-Baqarah, Al-Ma’idah, Al-Jathiyah, and others.
- The statement affirms that the Quran itself recognizes the Promised Holy Land as destined for the Children of Israel.
- The Movement condemns Iranian regime expansionism across Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and beyond as a betrayal of authentic Islamic values.
- A documented indictment lists Iranian regime actions from 1979 through the present: terror financing, Mecca plots, mass graves, drug trafficking, and plans to replace Mecca with Tehran as the “Mother of Cities.”
- The statement calls on the peoples of the Middle East to choose a “new civilized global system” — declaring the establishment of the Abrahamic Revolution in approach and action.
The Abrahamic Movement in Iraq, represented by Abu Musa Al-Iraqi alongside Sunni scholar Abu Musa and Professor Tom Wegner, has issued a sweeping statement in response to criticism published in the Egyptian Al-Bayan magazine — delivering a Quranic-grounded defense of Jewish-Muslim brotherhood and a comprehensive indictment of the Iranian regime’s regional ambitions.
The statement, issued in the name of the Global Abrahamic Movement and its founding members, represents one of the most theologically grounded public declarations by a Muslim reform movement affirming Jewish rights and condemning antisemitism from within the Islamic tradition.
At the heart of the statement lies a direct appeal to the Quran itself — challenging what the Movement describes as “intellectually contaminated Islamic scholars” who represent, in their words, a tiny minority distorting the faith for personal and political gain.
The Movement invokes Moses’ address to the Children of Israel as direct Quranic confirmation of Jewish connection to the Holy Land — a passage they argue is unambiguous in its meaning and binding in its authority.
Abrahamism, according to the Quran, is one continuous path from our Prophet Abraham to Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Islam, as expressed in the Quran, believes in the heavenly books — and they are one.— Abrahamic Movement in Iraq, Official Statement
The statement draws on classical Islamic scholarship, citing Imam Al-Baydawi’s interpretation that the religious law from Abraham and Noah to the Prophet Muhammad is continuous and unified — reinforcing that hostility toward the Jewish people contradicts this foundational theological position.
About the Abrahamic Movement in Iraq
- Founded by Abu Musa Al-Iraqi, the Movement operates within the Global Abrahamic framework advocating for Sunni-Jewish-Christian reconciliation rooted in shared prophetic heritage.
- The Movement includes among its intellectual contributors Sunni scholar Abu Musa and Professor Tom Wegner.
- Its theological framework draws on classical Quranic exegesis, including the scholarship of Imam Al-Baydawi, to argue that authentic Islam affirms Jewish rights and condemns antisemitism.
- The statement was issued in direct response to criticism published in Egypt’s Al-Bayan magazine by an individual identified as Atef Abdel Ghani.
The second half of the statement pivots sharply — directing a detailed indictment at the Iranian regime and what the Movement characterizes as its decades-long project of subverting Arab and Muslim societies under the banner of the “resistance” and the export of the Islamic Revolution.
The Movement accuses the Egyptian publication and its author of deliberate silence on Iran’s regional activities — arguing that this silence amounts to an endorsement of terrorism, and that authentic Islamic scholarship demands confronting rather than accommodating the regime’s record.

Does Islam, the Quran, and the Sunnah of the Prophet accept the continuation of this hostility, manufactured by some clerics to gain personal and financial benefits from kings and rulers during past eras?— Abrahamic Movement in Iraq, Official Statement
The statement concludes with a stark framing of the choice now facing the peoples of the Middle East — presenting two incompatible paths and calling on the region to declare itself for Abrahamic peace over revolutionary violence.
Path One — Rejection
Standing with a “bloody, extremist regime living in regional and international isolation, using murder and violence as a path to expansionist goals, relying on a distorted historical legacy it created for itself to claim legitimacy.”
Path Two — The New Middle East
Choosing to be part of “the new Middle East within the new civilized global system” — asserting the right of peoples to self-determination, peace, and a future within the true Middle East built on Abrahamic values.
FFN Analysis — Significance of the Statement
The Abrahamic Movement in Iraq’s statement is remarkable for what it does theologically: it does not merely call for interfaith dialogue as a social good — it argues from within the Islamic scriptural tradition that hostility toward Jews contradicts the Quran, that the Holy Land was divinely designated for the Children of Israel, and that the long war of manufactured antisemitism has served Persian-Iranian imperial ambitions rather than authentic Islamic teaching.
In the current geopolitical moment — as the US-Iran MOU opens new diplomatic space and Israel-Lebanon talks advance in Washington — a voice from within Iraq’s Muslim community making precisely this argument carries particular weight. It reflects a growing reform current across the Arab and Muslim world that sees Abrahamic reconciliation not as a concession but as a return to scriptural roots.
The declaration of an “Abrahamic Revolution” signals that the Movement intends to move beyond statements and into sustained advocacy — positioning itself as a counterweight to both Iranian proxy culture and the legacy of clerical antisemitism embedded in parts of the regional religious establishment.
The statement closes with a declaration that carries both spiritual and political weight: “The Abrahamic peace brings us together. Peace for humanity, Peace for the Middle East.” — affirming the Movement’s conviction that the path forward is not through armed resistance or revolutionary ideology, but through the rediscovery of the shared prophetic heritage that, in their reading of the Quran, has always united the Children of Abraham.
