Join Dr. Jasser this week as he tells you why the shuttering of 50,000 of Iran's 75,000 mosques due to lack of use is one of the most favorable signs to come out of Iran in a long time.

Don't miss this week's episode as Zuhdi cuts to the heart of the nexus between wokism, progressivism, and Islamism. On this Memorial Day week, as our nation honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, Dr. Jasser will explain why so many Islamists who hate America remain here? A graduating law student at CUNY Law School gave a radical speech that was peppered with disgusting hate for America, Israel, and our entire legal system and history. Fatima Mousa Mohammed, the daughter of Yemeni immigrants gave a speech, now viral, that epitomizes all that is wrong with Islamists, their movement and its synergy with all that hate our nation. It is time for every American to understand what is at stake in our war domestically and abroad against Islamists.     Keywords: anti-semitism, BDS, Israel, Palestinians, Yemen, Islamists, Memorial Day, America, patriotism, bigotry, racism, hijab, shariah, CUNY, Fatima Mohammed  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the most recent midterm elections, Islamist-backed candidates did notably well. With a vast political infrastructure in place, a concentrated collection of Islamist groups have worked, with some success, to manipulate the Muslim vote and use it to advance their extremist agenda. However, Islamist influence over the Muslim vote is only as durable as their level of support within Muslim communities. What is the future of American Islamist efforts to influence our politics? https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-releases-report-on-congressional-legislative-priorities-in-the-118th-congress/

This week, Dr. Jasser looks at the bizarre and brazen hypocrisy of American Islamist positions on Ukraine and Russia. Their charges of moral equivalency and criticism of the US and NATO throgih their warped comparisons to the Palestinian conflict is deeply corrupt. Their recent commentaries reveal the anti-American, anti-Israel, and antisemitic Islamist lens through which Islamists at CAIR and the likes of Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and their colleagues look at the world. Also this week, Raif Badawi, prisoner of conscience in Saudi Arabia is finally released from his prison cell of 10 years incthe kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

It isn't just the case of Aafia Siddiqui aka “Lady Al Qaeda” that is bizarrely radically supported by so called mainstream American Islamist groups, but there been a long series of radical cases including Tariq Mahanna (now serving 17 years since 2012), Imam Luqman, and Cop-Killer Jamal Amin to name a few. Zuhdi looks at the commonalities in these cases and also the larger phenomena that defines Islamist groups who through conspiracy theories support these radicals as martyrs as they also use their narrative to denigrate American institutions. Dr. Jasser also takes a critical look at the odd continued popularity of the radical come counter-terror expert. These “former Islamist radicals” add a great deal to the discourse but when it comes to role models and public leadership, American Muslim communities are generally ill-served by lifting high up, those former radicals regardless of how enamouring is their story of metamorphosis. There is no doubt that patriotic American Muslims should be able to do a lot better than the often convenient former radical when it comes to causes for justice and certainly with our role models patriotic anti-Islamist leadership.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Don't miss this weeks podcast as Dr Jasser explains why the January 15 terror incident at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville Texas committed by Islamist terrorist Malik Faisal Akram highlights how deep the radicalization of Muslims by so-called "mainstream" American Islamist organizations runs in the West. Before this weekend many Americans hadn't heard of Aafia Siddiqui and Zuhdi explains why if we are to ever defeat Jihad we should understand why militants and radicals like Alfiah Siddiqui become cause celebre for so-called mainstream Islamic groups that want to thrive on conspiracy theories and separatism.

This week, Dr. Jasser exposes exactly what is behind Cong. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) attempt along with other members of Congress to pass legislation creating a so-called Special Envoy on Islamophobia, aka an “Islamophobia Csar”. Rep. Omar and other Islamist leaders in the West are unhinged having no inhibitions in doing everything they can to stop free speech against political Islam and its Islamist movements. Masquerading their actions as anti-bigotry, Islamists, bigots themselves, don't care about bigotry but rather about suppressing dissent and diversity of ideas when it comes to Muslim reform.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Don’t miss this week’s episode as Zuhdi gives you the rundown of why we should be very concerned that leading American Islamists like Nihad Awad of CAIR are in New York City meeting with radical Islamist tyrants on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly meeting.

Also, Dr. Jasser reflects on how the deep divide between Americans politically is transforming our nation into a cultural war that actually resembles his own deeper long-running efforts inside the Arab and Muslim communities domestically and abroad.

The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was fought between Shah Pahlevi (supported by America and hated for his pro-American beliefs) and Ayatollah Khomeini (and anti-American Islamist).  Khomeini succeeded in taking power from the Shah and created the Islamic Republic of Iran.  During the turbulent years that followed, 300 militants seized 63 hostages from the American embassy in Iran and held them for 444 days. Months of negotiations ensued and eventually, 11 of the hostages were released prematurely.  The others were almost rescued by President Carter in Operation Eagle Claw, but due to a sandstorm, the operation was a disastrous failure.  It was such a great failure that the US reformed its military and created a new unified combatant command, SOCOM, and a new special forces regiment, the 160th SOAR.  The Iranians remained steadfast in their imprisonment of the hostages until September 1980, when Iraq invaded Iran and launched the Iran-Iraq War.  As a result, Iran wanted a quick resolution to the hostage issue and thus, the Algiers Accords were signed by the United States and Iran.  The hostages were returned on Reagan's inauguration day.  However, tensions between these two countries still exist today (see Iranian capture of 15 British sailors).  For more information, read: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3978523.stm The American Presidents by David Whitney http://www.historyguy.com/iran-us_hostage_crisis.html Military History Podcast is sponsored by Armchair General Magazine
