= I. INTRODUCTION
1. This class action challenges the Federal Government's recognition and support of Submission (the literal translation of "Islam" from its original Arabic), a social structure that operates as a death cult under the definitions in the Death Cult Recognition and Prohibition Act of 2025 (the "Act"), while masquerading as a religion. By granting Submission tax-exempt status and other benefits under 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3), the Government has enabled an entity that imposes a no-exit policy equivalent to death, enforces secrecy and deception, and reduces societal health through censorship and harmâall in violation of fundamental public policy and Plaintiffs' constitutional rights.
2. Plaintiffs seek primarily a declaratory judgment that Submission is a death cult and injunctive relief to dismantle it by revoking federal benefits; secondarily, damages for personal harms, though willing to settle without monetary compensation if primary goals are met.
3. This suit invokes the Court's jurisdiction to enforce public policy against entities that perpetuate evil, as defined in the Act (provably bad for the United States of America's health), drawing from precedents like *Bob Jones University v. United States*, 461 U.S. 574 (1983).
= II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
4. This Court has federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, as this action arises under the U.S. Constitution (First and Fourteenth Amendments), the Declaratory Judgment Act (28 U.S.C. § 2201), and *Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents*, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Supplemental jurisdiction exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1367.
5. Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e).
= III. PARTIES
6. Plaintiff imi is a former member of Submission, forced into it as a child, under its death penalty since teenage years after publicly apostasizing. He brings this on behalf of a proposed class of current/ex-members harmed by Submission and the Government's support. Plaintiff is suing pro se because the threat from Submission is so severe that it is hard to find lawyers who will touch this case.
7. Defendant United States of America is the sovereign entity whose agencies have recognized and supported Submission.
8. Defendant Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service is sued in their official capacity for granting and maintaining Submission's tax-exempt status.
9. Defendant Attorney General of the United States is sued in their official capacity for failing to enforce laws against harmful entities like death cults.
= IV. CLASS ALLEGATIONS
10. Plaintiff seeks certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(2) for injunctive/declaratory relief (common questions: Does Submission qualify as a death cult? Has Government enabled it?), and 23(b)(3) for damages if pursued (predominance of common issues over individual). Class is numerous (millions affected, including all American Muslims trapped without consent), typical (shared harms from threats/duress), and adequate (Plaintiff's story mirrors class). Questions predominate; class action superior for efficiency.
= V. STATEMENT OF FACTS
11. Submission is a social structure recognized by the Government as a religion, enjoying tax-exempt status and other benefits under 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3). However, it meets all criteria of a "death cult" as defined in the Act:
(A) Exit is not allowed, enforced by a violent minority (enforcers) imposing death for apostasy.
(B) The no-exit condition is secret, concealed from potential members, with the entity pretending to be benign.
(C) Members are forced to deceive about its nature under duress; revealing the no-exit rule is akin to attempting to exit the cult.
(D) It is provably bad, defined as evil, reducing the health of the United States (cumulative expected lifespan) by perpetuating fear, violence, and censorship.
(E) It relies on a minimal number of enforcers to maintain rules, as the cost of exitâdeathâis sufficiently threatening and real to ensure compliance with only a few enforcers required; this ratio leverages secrecy and censorship to sustain the no-exit policy and reduce information flow.
12. Evidence includes: Physical books in Submission's places of teaching (mosques) explicitly stating death penalties for ex-members, such as Sahih Bukhari (e.g., Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57: "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."), Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah, and Sunan an-Nasa'i, all containing statements [Hadiths] mandating execution for apostasy; Verses from Submission's main book [Quran] interpreted by scholars to justify death (e.g., Quran 4:89: "But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them"); scholarly works from all major schools of Submission law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Ja'fari) agreeing on death for male apostates refusing repentance, as in Reliance of the Traveller (Shafi'i: "When a person... voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed") and Tahrir al-Wasilah (Shi'ite: apostates condemned to death after refusal to repent); affidavits from ex-members; expert analyses showing health reductions due to fear and violence perpetuated by these teachings.
13. The Government has aided Submission by granting tax exemptions, allowing deductions for contributions, and providing implicit legitimacy, despite its harmful practices. This violates public policy against entities that deny freedom and impose death threats, akin to racial discrimination in *Bob Jones*.
14. As noted in the Act's Finding (4), allowing death cults restricts First Amendment rights of all citizens by enabling coercive structures that undermine free speech and association.
15. The Government's actions establish or favor a harmful "religion" in violation of the Establishment Clause (First Amendment) and deny equal protection (Fourteenth Amendment) by treating harmful cults as legitimate. Submission teaches death for ex-members via books in all teaching sites (mosques), trapping class members in fear, as evidenced by consensus in biographies [Hadiths] of the late founder of Submission (e.g., Sahih Bukhari: "The blood of a Muslim... cannot be shed except... the one who reverts from Islam (apostate)") and scholarly edicts [fatwas] (e.g., Yusuf Al-Qaradawi: apostates to be punished by death). Furthermore, the entity teaches its members and enforcers that its rules supersede local laws.
= VI. PLAINTIFF'S PERSONAL ALLEGATIONS
*(Replaceable for other class members.)*
16. Plaintiff was forced to join Submission as a child and apostasized publicly as a teenager and has been under its death penalty for apostasy for several decades, causing severe depression, anxiety, and difficulty providing for family.
17. This distress stems from knowing an entity seeks Plaintiff's death for thoughts and beliefs, impacting a highly skilled individual: top graduate in pure math from Germany's premier university and twofold world champion in computing fields.
18. The Government's support has exacerbated these harms by legitimizing Submission, preventing Plaintiff from fully escaping its shadow.
= VII. CAUSES OF ACTION
== First Cause: Violation of First Amendment (Establishment Clause)
19. By recognizing and benefiting Submission, Defendants have established a harmful cult as religion, violating Plaintiffs' rights and public policy.
== Second Cause: Violation of Fourteenth Amendment (Equal Protection/Due Process)
20. Defendants' actions arbitrarily favor harmful entities, denying Plaintiffs equal protection and substantive due process by enabling threats to life and liberty.
== Third Cause: Declaratory Judgment
21. A controversy exists; Plaintiffs seek declaration that Submission is a death cult and Government support violates law/policy.
= VIII. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray:
A. Class certification.
B. Declaratory judgment that Submission is a death cult.
C. Permanent injunction revoking tax-exempt status/benefits, prohibiting assistance, and requiring public statement.
D. Compensatory damages of \$1,000,000 (or such amount as the Court deems just) for emotional/economic harms, though Plaintiffs offer to forego if primary relief granted.
E. Attorney's fees, costs, and other just relief.
