Preview: Syria & Turkey Colleague Jonathan Schanzer comments on the peril possible as the al-Sharaa jihadists sign an MOU with the Turkish military. More. 1934

It's Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted.  The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings.  Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill.  Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday.  Poilievre heads back to Canada's parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada's ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump.  TRUMP:  “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE' for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones.  JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit.  Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America's leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades.  The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities.  Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person's involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “Our survey shows that church-engaged Christians have significantly less stress, less anxiety, less loneliness, and more hope.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Women and children were trampled to death outside the gates of the Kabul airfield. Desperate Afghans fell from the landing gear of departing planes. Taliban fighters mercilessly whipped and humiliated U.S. civilians trying to access the few square miles still controlled by American forces. Countless Afghan interpreters were abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban after risking their lives alongside American troops for years. And thirteen U.S. service members—eleven of whom were still in preschool on 9/11—were murdered in an ISIS suicide bombing that could easily have been prevented. Still, the full story is worse than anyone imagined. Drawing from hundreds of hours of first-person interviews, investigative reporter Jerry Dunleavy and former Army Captain and Afghanistan veteran James Hasson provide an exclusive, no-holds-barred account of the disastrous events of August 2021. Kabul is packed with shocking and infuriating exclusive details about fatal politics and bureaucracy that contributed to the catastrophe. The authors also tell, for the first time, inspiring stories of the bravery and sacrifices exhibited by countless Americans on the ground. Kabul's original reporting includes eyewitness accounts from servicemembers of all ranks who participated the rescue effort, inside information from senior intelligence officials, interviews with high-ranking members of allied governments, harrowing stories from Americans and Afghan allies willfully abandoned by craven officials in Washington, and exclusive details about veteran-led rescue missions that continue to this day.

The al-Qaeda offshoot JNIM is one of the deadliest Jihadist groups in the world. It exploits a security vacuum in Africa's Sahel region to impose its Salafist version of Islam. In part one of this miniseries we explored the structure and ideology of JNIM. In this episode we'll try to understand its impact on local life and on the region's complex geopolitics which increasingly looks like a proxy war - on both the information and physical battlefields.

It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   --------------------------------------------------------------------

DAMASCUS JIHADISTS AND THE DRUZE. HUSSAIN ABDUL-HUSSAIN, FDD 1912 DAMASCUS

In recent days, Syria's formerly designated terrorist group known as HTS has conducted murderous attacks against Christians and Druze communities and seems set on destroying the survivors and what remains of that long-suffering country's other minorities.  Unsurprisingly, the group's erstwhile leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, claims to oppose such crimes against humanity. He has, after all, to keep up appearances of having moderated his historic Sharia-supremacism, for which he was rewarded by President Trump with legitimacy and sanctions relief.  Israel cannot afford such illusions. She has come to the aid of her own Druze population's relatives in Syria and Christians seeking refuge in their midst. And the Israelis have threatened to destroy al-Sharaa's regime if it persists in striking them.  It's time to reconsider the support Washington has given Syria's jihadist regime and stand, instead, with our friends whom it is determined to kill.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel's destruction are the same forces plotting America's destruction. It is time to wake up.   Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free Palestine,” several synagogue members were injured by a man throwing Molotov cocktails, and a pro-Israel event was moved because of terrorist threats. We should take this seriously. Before October 7 the Israelis could not believe what Hamas said openly that they were going to do. Now Israelis do believe it. And we need to open our eyes to what we are really facing in this country.   It is no secret what Islamists are planning for America. Their philosophy of violence is not unique to Hamas. All throughout the Arab world is the belief that, starting with Israel, they must kill all Jews worldwide. It is a fundamental belief of Islam. It is a belief enacted by the UN. For years the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) has educated the children of Gaza to hate and kill Jews. You can say, “I can't believe that about Islam. I can't believe that about the UN.” But we are in trouble when we deny or ignore the warning signs.   In Gaza the hatred of Israel and Jews is so ingrained in people's thinking that they are incapable of even hearing the truth. What is scary is that we are seeing this same ingrained mentality on American college campuses. The apostle Paul spoke of this when he described men of depraved mind who oppose the truth. The refusal to accept the truth goes beyond a lack of understanding of the facts. It gets into the depravity of mind that exchanges the truth for a lie. As Christians we must reject anything that would allow this depravity to take root in ourselves. We need to be free of every mentality except God's and be a force to impart and empower His truth.   Key Verses:   •       Romans 1:16–32. “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie.” •       2 Timothy 3:7–17. “These men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind.”   Quotes:   •       “We've got to stop saying, “Oh, I just can't believe it. I can't believe the United Nations is doing that or would do that.” No, they've already done it. They've done it within the last seventy years. This has been very calculatedly carried out until you're dealing with people who don't have another way to think. They don't have another way to believe.” •       “Read the Koran and it's very clear that Islam has a mandate to take over the world. Sounds very much like what was in the thinking of the Japanese that created the events that happened in World War II. And this is what we're up against. It's not just a religion. It goes beyond that. It's a way of thinking.” •       “God is the only One who has a solution to this problem. And He's the only One who loves everybody enough to bring about a solution that would be justice, because God is justice and He's not going to violate Himself.”   Takeaways:   1.    We need to open our eyes because what happened in Israel is happening in the United States. Before October 7, the Israelis could not believe what the jihadists openly published they were going to do. Jihadist groups openly publish their plan to kill all Jews and then kill Christians, and they continue to act on that plan. Therefore, we need to get out of the pattern of not wanting to believe what they are clearly saying and doing. 2.    We are dealing with a mentality that is deeper than what we understand. The people of Gaza have grown up being taught that they must destroy Israel and kill Jews. It is entrenched in their thinking. But this way of thinking is not exclusive to Gaza. It is throughout the Islamic world and is embraced by a majority in the United Nations. Even in Christianity, anti-Semitism is still far too prevalent. 3.    Many today have a deep-seated inability to listen to reason or accept basic historical facts. Instead, they are determined to believe lies about Israel and the Jewish people. Do not allow those of depraved minds to influence your thinking. Reach into the revelation, wisdom, and understanding of these times that come as gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Michael Savage reacts to the Democrat primary in New York City, where socialist and jihadist sympathizer Zohran Mamdani could become the city's next mayor. He reflects on the city's social and political decline. Then, he critiques CNN and other media outlets for undermining reports about the success of the U.S. strike mission in Iran. Savage praises Trump's defense of the pilots and questions whether CNN is guilty of sedition.

Savage stresses the need for peace between all peoples and nations.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's president, Comfort Ero, and Sahel director Jean-Hervé Jezequel. He first speaks with Comfort about her recent visit to Mali's capital, Bamako, and her reflections on the diverging political trajectories of Sahelian countries. Richard then turns to Jean-Hervé for a closer look at Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) after breaking away from the regional bloc ECOWAS last year. They examine the sovereignty narrative promoted by the military regimes and the risk of growing public frustration as economic and security conditions stagnate. They also talk about the jihadist coalition JNIM, which has stepped up attacks on towns and cities in the region. They explore the group's goals, leadership and the, for now, seemingly remote prospect of talks as military leaders prioritise military operations. Finally, they touch on how the AES countries' foreign relations may evolve amid shifting regional dynamics.For more, check out our EU Watchlist entry “Defining a New Approach to the Sahel's Military-led States” and our Sahel project page.

Today's broadcasts deliver a searing critique of America's unraveling political and national security landscape. From the fallout of a jihadist attack in Colorado to calls for a renewed travel ban, Donald Trump's executive order targeting high-risk nations reignites the immigration debate. The family of the attacker—allegedly radicalized and still in the U.S. illegally—becomes a flashpoint for the broader failure of visa enforcement and vetting procedures. Simultaneously, former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reportedly breaks ranks with the Biden administration, calling the White House “broken” and declaring her independence—signaling internal chaos within Democratic leadership. Accusations against FBI Director Christopher Wray, involving lies to Congress and covert surveillance of religious groups, further highlight growing fears of institutional weaponization. Amid censorship, debanking, and collapsing faith in government agencies, these segments paint a picture of a nation grappling with its identity, sovereignty, and foundational freedoms.
