In this powerful episode of CURE America, Donald T. Eason sits down with Stephen Osemwegie, President and Founder of Save Nigeria Group USA, for an urgent conversation about the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria.   Stephen delivers a sobering report from the ground, revealing that Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. He shares how Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants are targeting Christian communities, burning churches, and displacing millions in their pursuit of an Islamic caliphate. With over 11 million people internally displaced and thousands killed in recent years, Stephen explains why this crisis demands international attention.   He also shares his personal journey from Nigeria to the United States and how discovering camps filled with displaced Christians compelled him to launch Save Nigeria Group USA — an organization providing humanitarian aid, raising awareness, and advocating for the persecuted church.   Donald and Stephen discuss the role of U.S. policy, the need for stronger action against terrorist sponsors, and how American churches and believers can respond. Stephen also announces the Save Nigeria Rally, happening June 20, 2026, at Lafayette Park across from the White House in Washington, D.C.   If you care about religious freedom, the persecuted church, and standing with our brothers and sisters in Nigeria, this is an episode you won't want to miss.     Watch now and learn how you can help.

This episode explores the true purpose of caliphate as a divinely guided system of leadership rooted in justice, unity, and peace. Moving from foundational principles to real-world application, it challenges common misconceptions and presents caliphate as a living model for addressing today's global crises, culminating in a powerful message from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V.

While attention remains fixed elsewhere, jihadist groups are expanding across Africa. Bill and Caleb revisit the growing threats in Mali, Nigeria, and Somalia—and why the continent remains one of the most consequential battlegrounds in the war against Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.

Mark Levin, Dinesh D'Souza - The Democrat Party Embodies Marxism and Jihadist Influences and Big Supreme Court Win!  Mark Levin Podcast The Best Of Mark Levin - 5/2/26  May 02 2026   This week on the Mark Levin Show, Democrats, their media, and podcast surrogates will quickly resumed attacks despite the third assassination attempt on President Trump. Their rhetoric reveals Marxist and Islamist ideologies, falsely labeling Trump Hitler and a dictator. The Democrat Party embodies Marxism and jihadist influences, unlike Republicans who purge their extremists. Next, the AP article reporting James Comey's second indictment was grotesque propaganda - an opinion piece that leads with accusations of vindictive prosecution by the Trump administration's Justice Department. The piece notes Comey's history feuding with Trump and his role in the Russia investigation but these details are irrelevant to the charge. Comey's explanation for the 8647 seashells is unbelievable—especially for a former FBI director.   Dinesh D'Souza 808K subscribers 1,594 views The Supreme Court's racial gerrymandering decision isn't just a big win for the midterms and beyond.

In this episode, we host Dr Colin P. Clarke to explore how terrorism is evolving in an era of AI, organised crime, proxy warfare, and great power competition. Drawing on decades of work on terrorism, insurgency, illicit finance, and political violence, Dr Clarke explains why today's threat landscape is no longer defined solely by hierarchical jihadist organisations, but by decentralised networks, regional affiliates, lone actors, criminal ecosystems, and state-backed proxies. He also reflects on how groups such as ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and far-right movements adapt to new technologies, exploit geopolitical crises, and sustain themselves through propaganda, illicit finance, and transnational support networks. We discuss why terrorism today is more fragmented, more hybrid, and harder to categorise than many older counterterrorism models suggest. From ISIS's evolution into a franchise-like movement and Hezbollah's diversified funding streams to AI-enabled propaganda, drones, virtual currencies, Russian hybrid warfare, Wagner, and the possibility of terrorism triggering wider interstate conflict, this conversation offers a timely guide to how political violence is mutating – and why policymakers must avoid treating terrorism, organised crime, and great power competition as separate problems.Dr Colin P. Clarke is the Executive Director of The Soufan Center and one of the leading analysts working at the intersection of terrorism, insurgency, organised crime, and geopolitics. He is the author of several books, including Terrorism, Inc. and After the Caliphate, and writes widely on terrorist financing, the crime-terror nexus, ISIS, Hezbollah, proxy warfare, and emerging security threats. His work has appeared in outlets including Foreign Policy and War on the Rocks, and he regularly contributes to public debate on terrorism, political violence, and international security.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

This episode explores a powerful yet often overlooked dimension of African Islamic history—the revivalist movements that sought to rejuvenate Muslims, reform society, and establish governance rooted in Islamic principles. Beginning with the reformist waves of the Murabitun and Muwahidun movements, it culminates in the remarkable story of the mujaddid Sheikh Usman dan Fodio. From humble beginnings in Gobir, his call for tajdīd transformed into one of the most consequential reform movements in African history—overthrowing corrupt rule, igniting a sweeping jihād across Hausaland, and establishing the vast Sokoto Caliphate. Spanning scholarship, struggle, tasawuuf, and statecraft, his movement reshaped religious life, political authority, and intellectual culture across the region—leaving a legacy that still resonates today.

Our guest today is Tharik Hussain, a travel writer turned historian who has recently produced  an enchanting study of Europe's Islamic history. To investigate this at close quarters, in this episode he takes us back to Córdoba in the year 929 – the greatest city in Europe at the time, a place of wealth and splendour with a population of around 100,000. By 929 Córdoba was emerging as a rival power base to Baghdad. At a Friday prayers, early in the year, its ruler Abdul Rahman III declared himself Caliph of the Caliphate of Cordoba, Al Andalus. This was a decisive political move. Tharik takes us into the Grand Mosque to see this happen and he then guides us on a tour of two more equally intriguing sites. Tharik Hussain is the author Muslim Europe: A Journey in Search of a Fourteen Hundred Year History Show notes Scene One: Friday Prayers in the Great Mosque of Córdoba. 17 January 929.

In today's episode, I'd like to switch from the Abbasid Caliphate to the Byzantine Empire. The fortunes of both were of course connected and the Caliphate's decline during the ninth century created an opportunity for Byzantium. But it wasn't an easy path for the Byzantines and there were some serious setbacks in the first half of the ninth-century. Nevertheless, ultimately Byzantium would emerge once again as the strongest power in western Eurasia, which was a truly remarkable achievement.For a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.comFind my latest book, The End of Antiquity, on Amazon.

In 1924, the Republic of Turkey voted to abolish the Ottoman caliphate, ending a 400-year-long claim by the Ottomans that they were the leaders of the Islamic world. Abdülmecid II—who had been elected to the position by the Republic of Turkey just two years before—decamped for Europe. What followed was a bold plan by Indian Muslims and the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of the world's richest men at the time, to potentially revive the caliphate, as told in Imran Mulla's book The Indian Caliphate, Exiled Ottomans and the Billionaire Prince (Hurst, 2025) Imran Mulla is a journalist at Middle East Eye in London, before which he studied history at the University of Cambridge.

Bonus episode about the history of the Caliphate.

A prolific poet, Jami, is the embodiment of the photo-Ottoman Bengal-to-Balkans cosmopolitan Sufi intellectual. Jami was born in 1414 near the border of modern day Iran and Afghanistan during the tail end of the era of the shadow Abbasid caliphs before the Ottoman claim to the Caliphate. He worked for the local Timurid court. And at the end of his life, Islamic rule ended in the Iberian peninsula and a sea voyager called Columbus set out to find a better route to India. He appears to come from a scholarly Sunni family and had a specific interest in the teachings of Ibn Arabi. What more do we know about his life? His works are many and some appear influenced by Nizami whom we covered in episode 62. Tell us about them. What translations and secondary resources would you recommend on Jami? And finally let's end with a sample and translation.    Further reading Jami by Hamid Algar The Persian Mystics: Jami by F. Hadland Davis  Yusuf and Zulaikha: A Poem by Jami by Ralph T.H.

He warns that while Al-Qaeda focuses on consolidating control in places like Somalia(Al-Shabaab), they remain a potent global threat capable of launching external attacks when strategically advantageous. 1842 Afghanistan

The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1882 CAIRO

Black History Month Special (Part 2) AI - The Truth Exposed! The Black Spy Podcast 216, Season 22, Episode 0007   This week, host Carlton King continues his headfirst dive into the meaning of Black History Month — asking seemingly none provocative questions of Chat GPT such as Why do you and other LLM continue to use terms such as the Middle East” and why does this matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, Carlton explores the true financial and political objectives and consequences of the British Empire, including how Britain came to rule world finances. Carlton also uncovers how AI is finally challenging a racist, euro-centric manipulation of history with true and evidenced fact, yet strangely Carlton notes that these answers are not provided questionaries in the first instance and he wants to establish why?. Carlton examines who decides who's “Black” and who's “White,” and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to dumb down Africa and it's diaspora's real historical legacy. Once again we hope you enjoy this week's episode and learn from it. So, please don't forget to subscribe to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.

7. Battle for Mosul and Post-War Corruption ISIS with 20,000 foreigners established brutal caliphate but alienated local Sunnis within two months, leading to defeat through house-to-house warfare causing massive PTSD among Iraqi forces and civilians. Post-battle Mosul suffers not from war damage but widespread corruption and militia control over economic sectors and smuggling, with survivors later losing relatives to corruption-caused tragedies like ferry sinkings.

The "Know Thy Enemy" report by the Transatlantic Intelligence Consortium (TIC) offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolving strategies and structures of terrorist organizations, with a particular focus on Al-Qaeda and its affiliates. The report delves into the formation of a unified Islamic army, referred to as 'The Army of Imam Mahdi,' comprising 95 terrorist organizations active in 38 countries, totaling over 700,000 jihadi combatants. This coalition, under the leadership of Hamza Bin Laden and the Haqqani Network, aims to restore and expand the Caliphate across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.Additionally, the report examines the financial mechanisms supporting these groups, highlighting how funding from international entities, including the US, UN, and EU, inadvertently contributes to terrorism in regions like Afghanistan. It also provides detailed maps and charts that track the global jihadist movement, illustrating key regions of activity, territorial control, and the shifting alliances of militant groups. By offering insights into recruitment patterns, regional hubs of extremism, and communication channels, the TIC underscores the importance of understanding the complex dynamics of global jihad to effectively counter these threats..to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:October 7th: Know Thy Enemy

In this episode, we explore the fragile balance of power during the later years of the Umayyad Caliphate under Caliph Hisham ibn Abdul Malik. Between 112–114 AH (731–733 CE), the empire faced crushing defeats on nearly every frontier. Yet Hisham refused to abandon his policy of ceaseless expansion. Temporary truces bought the Caliphate breathing room, but soon the armies were back in motion—sometimes roaring, sometimes limping—toward new campaigns. From 115–120 AH, the Umayyads managed a partial comeback. Victories against the Turgesh in Central Asia, renewed advances in Sindh, and territorial gains in France seemed to restore momentum. But these successes often proved hollow. Each campaign drained the Caliphate's coffers and manpower, leaving little capacity to improve life for its citizens. Meanwhile, internal cracks widened. The Mawali, non-Arab converts to Islam, increasingly protested an unjust tax system. Tribal rivalries were deliberately stoked by Hisham to maintain control, while provincial governors hoarded wealth, tortured predecessors, and entrenched corruption. Rather than strengthening the empire, these policies steadily weakened it. Every battlefield gain came at the cost of domestic stability. As the pressure mounted, the Umayyads were unknowingly laying the groundwork for their own downfall—making it easier for another movement to rise and challenge their rule. Join us as we examine this turbulent period of fleeting victories, deepening unrest, and the first signs of the empire's unraveling.

At the end of the 15th century, Spain had almost completed the Reconquista and the removal of the Caliphate in the Iberian Peninsula, ending centuries of Islamic rule. One of the first things they did was usher in an attempt to unify and purify the country as a Catholic one, rather than a multi-religious one.  After receiving permission from the Pope, the Spanish monarchy persecuted hundreds of thousands of people for the crime of not being Catholic.
