This is not a warning about the Islamization that might happen in Tampa. It is documentation of what has already happened.
A newly surfaced Arabic-language video filmed across Tampa, Florida, does not ask whether an Arab-Islamic enclave could be created. It shows, in detail, that the enclave already exists, is fully operational, and is now being actively promoted to Muslims across the world as a destination where they can live entirely inside their own religious, cultural, educational, and economic system.
What’s being shown is openly declared, proudly embraced, and captured on video.
Temple Terrace: A Separate Municipality, Not a Neighborhood
The video begins by deliberately situating the viewer in Temple Terrace, repeatedly emphasizing that this is not merely a neighborhood of Tampa but a separate town with its own municipality and self-rule. Viewers are told plainly that Temple Terrace has hosted a growing Arab population since the 1980s and is now considered the central hub for the Arab community across the entire Tampa region, including St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, and Lakeland.
This distinction matters. Islamic expansion does not begin with random dispersion. It begins with jurisdictional footholds—places where density, local governance, and institutions align.
Temple Terrace is presented as exactly that.
Street 56 and Busch Boulevard: The Economic Spine
The camera then moves deliberately through Street 56, explicitly identified as the street “where all the Arab stores are.” Bakeries, restaurants, cafés, barber shops, and halal food establishments line the corridor. Busch Boulevard is shown as an extension of the same zone, described as “complementary,” reinforcing that this stretch constitutes the functional center of Arab life in Tampa.
The message is unambiguous: daily life, food, work, and social interaction can be conducted entirely within the community, without reliance on broader American civic or cultural structures.
The Institutional Core: AYA Islamic School and Masjid al-Qassam
At the heart of this enclave sit two institutions the video treats as anchors: AYA Islamic School and Masjid al-Qassam Mosque.
The narrator points directly to AYA, describing it as an Islamic school that “has been around for a long time,” while emphasizing that the current building project is new. The expansion is presented as a point of pride, evidence that the community is not static but growing.
Immediately afterward, the camera notes that Masjid al-Qassam is located in the same area.
That name is not incidental.
Masjid al-Qassam is named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, the jihadist cleric whose ideology directly inspired Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Mosques do not choose such names casually. Naming is ideological signaling.
AYA’s background is equally significant. The school traces its lineage to earlier Islamic educational institutions in Tampa tied to figures later convicted and deported for terror-related offenses. While the school has been rebranded and expanded, the institutional continuity remains, now reinforced by physical proximity to a mosque named for a jihadist icon.
The video makes clear that this pairing—mosque and school—is intentional. It is how the community educates children, transmits values, and ensures permanence.
This is not simply another ethnic neighborhood like Chinatown or Little Italy. In 2023, Hamtramck voted to suspend animal cruelty, food safety, and hygiene laws to allow halal slaughter of live animals in basements, garages, and backyards—overriding regulations meant to apply to everyone.
The Intake and Placement Arm: Radiant Hands in Temple Terrace
What the video never explains, but what is essential to understanding how this system functions, is how new arrivals are housed, stabilized, and routed into the enclave it proudly showcases.
That role is filled by Radiant Hands, an Islamic charity that maintains an office in Temple Terrace, the same municipality the video repeatedly identifies as the core of Arab and Muslim life in the Tampa region. Radiant Hands provides housing assistance, financial aid, employment placement, and refugee resettlement services, effectively serving as the intake and placement arm for the very ecosystem the video promotes.
This explains how Muslims “from all over the world,” as described in the footage, do not simply arrive in Tampa but are absorbed directly into a ready-made network of mosques, Islamic schools, Arab businesses, and community institutions. The enclave is not self-assembling. It is operationally supported.
The Human Through-Line: Magda Elkadi Saleh
Radiant Hands does not operate independently of the institutions already shown in the video. It is overseen by Magda Elkadi Saleh, a central figure in Tampa’s Islamic institutional network whose influence spans education, charity, and community leadership.
Saleh’s role is not incidental, nor is it isolated to Tampa. She is the daughter of Ahmed Elkadi, who was identified in federal investigative records and internal Muslim Brotherhood documents as a senior leader of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. Elkadi was a founding figure in the Brotherhood’s American infrastructure and was tied to a network of organizations created to advance Islamic institutional dominance in the West through schools, charities, and community organizations.
This lineage matters. The institutions Saleh oversees in Florida, Islamic schools, charitable services, and community organizations, mirror precisely the Muslim Brotherhood’s long-documented strategy of building parallel religious, educational, and social systems that operate independently of, and in competition with, Western civic society.
Saleh has served as a senior leader at American Youth Academy, is the principal of Bayaan Academy, and is a co-founder of Universal Academy of Florida. Through these roles, the same individual is positioned at the intersection of Islamic education, charitable services, and community legitimacy, collapsing the idea that these institutions developed organically or separately.
When viewed together, the picture becomes clear: the mosque provides religious authority, the schools educate the next generation, Radiant Hands facilitates arrival and settlement, and the surrounding commercial corridor sustains daily life — all within the same geographic and leadership orbit.
Government Tuition Subsidies: The Financial Engine
The video then addresses what it presents as a major advantage of Tampa: government assistance.
Viewers are told explicitly that the government helps pay tuition for students attending private schools, including Islamic schools. Parents who want their children educated in these institutions receive public funding toward tuition, a benefit described as part of what makes Tampa attractive.
This is not framed as charity or emergency aid. It is framed as a system to be used, a stable financial pipeline that allows Islamic schools like AYA to expand, attract families, and educate children using taxpayer funds.
Tuition subsidies are not merely an incentive; they are the activation mechanism. Public funding draws families; Radiant Hands assists with housing and stabilization; children are enrolled in Islamic schools; religious life centers on Masjid al-Qassam; and daily needs are met within the Street 56 and Busch Boulevard corridor. This is how permanence is achieved.
Arab and Muslim Unity Over National Identity
Throughout the video, speakers repeatedly stress that national distinctions do not matter. Palestinians, Jordanians, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Sudanese, and Moroccans are presented as a unified Arab-Muslim community.
There is “no distinction,” viewers are told. Restaurants, cafés, and social spaces are intentionally shared across national lines to reinforce unity. This unity is described as “beautiful,” “cohesive,” and something Tampa uniquely provides.
They are explicit that their lack of diversity is a strength, not a weakness.
American identity is absent from this discussion. The unity being celebrated is explicitly Arab and Muslim, not civic or national.
Café 1948: Ideology Disguised as Atmosphere
The longest and most revealing segment of the video takes place inside Café 1948.
The owner states openly that he chose the name “1948” to send a message about Palestine. He explains that his father was displaced from Haifa in 1948, that he keeps notes about that year, and that the café exists so people who do not know what 1948 means can be taught its significance.
Inside the café, the video documents walls covered with Palestinian cities—Haifa, Jaffa, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Gaza, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, Safed, Ramallah—the Dome of the Rock, Palestinian and Jordanian currencies, and imagery of a 1922 Arab train line, accompanied by commentary that “there were no borders between us.”
This is not decoration. It is historical revisionism and ideological propaganda embedded in a social space where families gather, children sit, and daily life unfolds.
1948 is not presented as history to be debated. It is presented as casus belli, a justification to continue or initiate war.
You’ll notice that in most of the footage filmed inside the café, there are no women present. This is not incidental. It mirrors the exact pattern seen in Islamic enclaves across Europe, where, as the Islamic population increased, women were steadily erased from public life—first through social pressure, then through enforced norms.
RAIR Foundation USA reported on this same threat as early as 2017, warning: “Women are invisible in public spaces and unwelcome in cafés and bars in France’s Muslim suburbs.”
It is worth asking what would happen if a woman who is not Sharia-compliantly dressed walked into that café. In Europe, that question has already been answered. As these enclaves solidified, such a presence was no longer tolerated. Women were harassed, threatened, and in some cases attacked, until many learned the imposed reality: to stay out of Islamic-controlled areas and businesses altogether.
Families, Children, and Normalization
People describe the café as a “second home,” a place where you “don’t feel strange,” where it feels like Egypt, Sudan, or Palestine. Multiple speakers state plainly, “We won’t go back.”
This matters because ideology here isn’t preached; it’s normalized.
Children absorb it as atmosphere. Adults reinforce it as a memory. The enclave sustains itself socially, not just through institutions.
This Is Recruitment — Not Documentation
Taken as a whole, the video functions as a relocation and recruitment guide.
It answers every practical question a Muslim considering relocation might ask:
Where do I live?
Where do I shop?
Where do I pray?
Where do my children go to school?
Who pays for it?
Will I feel foreign?
The answer, repeated again and again, is no.
The ummah already has everything in Tampa.
What This Video Proves
This is not about future Islamization. It is about the completed Islamization being marketed as a finished product.
Temple Terrace provides jurisdiction.
Street 56 provides commerce.
AYA provides education.
Masjid al-Qassam provides religious authority.
Government subsidies provide financing.
Café 1948 provides ideology.
All of it already exists. And now it is being advertised.
The question is no longer whether this is happening. The video answers that clearly.
The question is why political leaders, regulators, and media allowed a fully formed parallel society, complete with schools, mosques, businesses, public funding, and ideological transmission, to grow without scrutiny.
What the video presents as organic community growth is, in reality, a managed system, built through mosques, schools, charities, and public funding, and overseen by a small number of repeat institutional operators.
Because this video makes one thing undeniable: Tampa is not being prepared for the ummah. Tampa is being promoted because it is already an anchor point for the Ummah.
