Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.
Julian Assange
spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
John Kiriakou's response to a widely circulated clip of thousands of American Muslims at prayer, captioned as evidence that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States. He notes that nothing in the clip establishes where or what the event was, and that most new American Muslims are African Americans converting — often, in his experience, in the prison system.
Islam in America was the subject of a segment John Kiriakou devoted in July 2026 to what he called a panic taking place in Philadelphia and elsewhere over the visibility of Muslim communities.[1]
The clip
The item under discussion was a viral post captioned “thousands of American Muslims praying in Philadelphia,” with the assertion that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States.[2]
Kiriakou’s first move is evidentiary. That may or may not be true, he says of the growth claim — and, more to the point, the clip does not tell you what the event is, and does not even establish that it is in Philadelphia. He offers to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that it is.[2]
Who is converting
His substantive point is about composition rather than numbers. Most of the new Muslims in the United States, he says, are African Americans who are converting to Islam — and this happens a lot in the American prison system.[2]
The observation is first-hand rather than statistical: Kiriakou served twenty-three months at FCI Loretto, where the Nation of Islam was one of the organised groups on the compound.
What he sees in places like Philadelphia, Detroit, and across Texas and Oklahoma is a fear that is sometimes fairly called Islamophobia and sometimes something less deliberate — a fear resting on a misunderstanding, or simply an absence, of any understanding of Islam at all.[2]
