controversial British-American online influencer Andrew Tate, who recently converted to Islam, said in a now-deleted viral TikTok video that "ISIS are the real Muslims." The TikTok video was shared on October 25 by a pro-ISIS media outlet on Telegram, which praised Tate for his statements. Later, on October 29, Tate discussed his conversion and beliefs in an October 29 podcast with British Muslim podcaster Mohammad Hijab, saying that elites in Western cultures promote feminism so that women are forced to work outside the home while their children are indoctrinated through schools, the internet, and "the matrix."
A former professional boxer, Tate gained notoriety for his provocative remarks on social media, many of which have been widely condemned as sexist and misogynistic. Several social media platforms – including Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube – consequently banned Tate's accounts,[1] yet he retains a presence and following online, with both his supporters and detractors continuing to widely circulate his video clips.
The following is an overview of Tate's conversion announcement, viral TikTok video, podcast interview, and the response of the pro-ISIS media outlet.
Tate Announces Conversion To Islam On Gettr
In an October 24, 2022, post on his Gettr account, Tate announced that he converted to Islam, writing: "This is why I'm Muslim. Any Christian who believes in good and understands the true battle against evil must convert. 'So be patient, Indeed the promise of Allah is TRUTH.' Quran 30:60."
The post included a video purportedly showing a transgender Methodist minister preaching at a church service.
In Viral TikTok Video, Andrew Tate Says: "ISIS Are The Real Muslims"
On October 25, 2022, Bariqah News Agency, a pro-Islamic State (ISIS) media outlet, shared a TikTok video of American-British social media influencer Andrew Tate, in which he described ISIS as "real Muslims."
In the now-deleted viral video – which was previously published on a TikTok account associated with Tate, @teacher_tate – Tate can be heard praising ISIS, saying:
"ISIS are the real Muslims because ISIS do exactly what the book says. Kill everyone who's not a Muslim and chop people's heads off and set them on fire and be fucking raging lunatics. But all the other Muslims go: 'they're not real Muslims because I read the book and ignore those parts.' Well then, you're not fucking Muslim, because you're ignoring the fucking book."
Andrew Tate discussed his conversion, views, and beliefs in an October 29, 2022 podcast with British Muslim podcaster Mohammad Hijab. Tate said that Islam reflects his beliefs about personal standards and self-reliance, and explained how Islamic theology is consistent with his belief in a strong and fear-inspiring God. Tate said that feminism has been used to sneak "insanity" into people's minds and to convince women to avoid having kids and to not respect their husbands.
Mohammad Hijab interjected that feminism is dangerous and serves the economic interests of elites in the West, and Tate agreed, adding that the elites are scared of him because he can make them lose money and interferes with their influence. He elaborated that in modern society, currencies are inflated and both parents are forced to work in order to prevent women from sharing their husbands' worldviews and in order to enable schools, the internet, and "the matrix" shape the future by controlling youth.
