AhlulBayt News Agency: A senior political figure from Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has used the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and Western reactions to the Gaza war to launch a sweeping critique of Western civilization, arguing that it is morally bankrupt and must be replaced by an Islamic civilizational model.
Mohammed Al‑Farah, a member of the Ansarullah Political Office, wrote on X that the Epstein case demonstrates a key lesson: scientific and technological progress alone cannot build a healthy civilization unless it is rooted in divine guidance and moral education.
He contrasted this with what he described as Islam’s “integrated civilizational project,” centered on intellectual and ethical development, citing Qur’an 2:129 as the foundation of this vision.
A major part of Al‑Farah’s critique targeted Arab and Islamic intellectuals who, he argued, glorify Western civilization as the ideal model while dismissing the Islamic world as backward.
Linking Gaza to a Broader Moral Collapse Al‑Farah connected the Epstein scandal to Western positions on Gaza, claiming both events exposed the moral façade behind which Western civilization hides.
He said these developments reveal a civilization marked by savagery, the erosion of human values, and deep moral decay—further proof, he argued, that the Islamic civilizational project must be revived on the basis of justice, dignity, and ethical principles.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice released millions of documents related to Epstein’s case, though some pages mentioning former President Donald Trump were later removed.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the release of roughly 3.5 million files was required under the Epstein Transparency Act after criticism that the administration missed a congressional deadline.
The documents include FBI communications and public complaints, some referencing Trump and others with social or professional ties to Epstein.
The release also contains a 2013 draft email Epstein wrote to himself mentioning Bill Gates, in which Epstein claimed Gates asked him to delete emails related to “personal matters.”
The DOJ has not explained why certain pages were removed after publication, saying only that the document release process is ongoing.
