Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://lewishowes.com/podcast/rainn-wilson/ Rainn Wilson moved to New York at 20 to be an actor, get the girl, and finally escape the rules of the Baha'i faith he was raised in. He got all of it. Then he woke up at 3am asking what his life was even about. That gap between "everything is working" and "I feel hollow" sent him back to the books he'd walked away from. Not just one. The Bible. The Koran. The Bhagavad Gita. The Dhammapada. He wasn't looking for religion. He was chasing the one question underneath all of it: is any of this random, or does it mean something? That search became the seed of SoulPancake.

Der muslimische Mann als gewaltbereiter Macho – ein Klischee, das sich hartnäckig hält. Doch was sagt der Koran wirklich über Männlichkeit? Und was denken junge Muslime in der Schweiz? Eine Auseinandersetzung mit Stereotypen in Zeiten der «Manosphere». Geht es um das Geschlechterverhältnis im Islam, ist das Klischee schnell zur Hand: Der muslimische Mann unterdrückt seine Frau, verteidigt die Ehre der Familie wenn nötig mit Gewalt und hält wenig von Gleichberechtigung. Doch stimmen diese Klischees? Welche Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit bietet der Islam? Und welche Alternativen gäbe es? In «Perspektiven» sprechen wir mit Islamwissenschaftler Mouhanad Khorchide über sein neustes Buch «Jenseits der Härte – warum der Koran keine Machos kennt». Er zeigt auf, dass sich muslimische Vorstellungen von dominanter Männlichkeit durchaus auf die Religion beziehen. Etwa, wenn es darum geht, Frauen zu kontrollieren, weil sie sexuelle Versuchung verkörpern. Gleichzeitig, so Khorchide, bietet der Koran auch Alternativen: Männer, die sich verletzlich zeigen, die Verantwortung übernehmen und Demut und Barmherzigkeit in den Vordergrund stellen. Wie sich muslimische Männlichkeit in der Praxis zeigt, wissen Kambez Nuri und Ahmed Ajil. Kambez Nuri bietet als Sozialarbeiter Workshops an unter dem Titel «Männlichkeit, wer ist das?». Ahmed Ajil ist promovierter Kriminologe, forscht zu Radikalisierung und Einwanderung an der Universität Luzern. In ihrem Podcast «Keshmesh» sprechen sie über ihren Alltag als muslimische Männer in der Schweiz. In einer Zeit, in viel diskutiert wird über toxische Männlichkeit und die Faszination von traditionellen Rollenbilder der Mannosphere, schauen wir in «Perspektiven» hinter die Stereotype vom Macho im Islam und fragen, welche Vorbilder junge muslimische Männer haben. Zu Wort kommen: · Prof. Mouhanad Khorchide, Dekan der islamisch-theologischen Fakultät der Universität Münster. · Ahmed Ajil, Kriminologe, Forschungsmitarbeiter am religionswissenschaftlichen Seminar der Universität Luzern. · Kambez Nuri, Sozialarbeiter und Mitgründer der Fachstelle «Oh boy» Autorin: Nicole Freudiger Angaben zum Buch: Mouhanad Khorchide.

Rupert Lowe's recent report on Muslim grooming gangs in the UK has confirmed what Sikh communities have known for decades. This is not a cultural problem. This is a theological one. The Koran and Hadith provide explicit theological justification for the targeting of non-Muslim women. This episode examines what Islamic scripture actually says, how it applies directly to the documented grooming of Sikh women in the UK and what the Rupert Lowe report reveals about the scale of institutional cover-up that allowed this to continue for decades.Sikh women were disproportionately targeted by Muslim grooming gangs in the UK. This was not random. It was theologically motivated and institutionally protected. The Sikh community deserves an honest theological accounting of why this happened and what it means for Sikh communities in the west going forward.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna and Elliot Toman discuss the multifaceted nature of religion, dynamic interpretations of Islamic principles, and the socioeconomic impacts of modern capitalism. The conversation begins with a casual sci-fi reference to Star Trek and quickly segments into a philosophical debate regarding whether religion is meant to enforce a collective societal order or serve as a strictly personal, inward-facing moral code. Pinna delves into standard Islamic principles, emphasizing the explicit historical allowance for non-Muslims, pluralism, and private free-will options under genuine Islamic law, highlighting how the faith's spiritual intentions are often corrupted when fused with state governance, political violence, or totalitarian empires. This leads to a broader systemic critique of extreme modern capitalism, exploring how billionaires like Jeff Bezos use theoretical loopholes and "shell game" rhetoric to redirect conversations about wealth responsibility toward government inefficiency. The hosts contrast standard corporate structures with sovereign wealth funds and perpetual endowments. arguing that the super-wealthy should leverage their influence to address systemic crises rather than hoarding their wealth.

“How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus?” This question opens a discussion on the distinct perspectives each faith holds about Christ. Additionally, the conversation touches on whether God could have forgiven humanity without the cross, the concept of Messianic Muslims, and the implications of the Koran’s teachings regarding Jesus and messengers. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:45 – How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus? 10:45 – If God could have forgiven humanity without the cross, what makes the cross a more fitting means of salvation than simply forgiving sinners? 21:00 – What do you think of the idea that Muhummad had the strength of 30 men? 29:02 – Are there Messianic Muslims — Muslims who believe in Jesus? 35:35 – It is in the Koran that Jesus said he was going to send a messenger. 41:35 – Does Islam teach that Christians must be destroyed? 45:15 – Isn't it disingenuous to dismiss all of Islam culturally? It seems like people try to trash the whole religion when we could build bridges instead. 52:35 – How do you explain the Catechism's teaching that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, when Islam is so different than Christianity? Also, early church fathers used the quick spread of the faith around the world as an argument for its truth. But Islam spread even more quickly. How would you respond to that?

Dr. Adam Hamawy just won the Democratic nomination for the New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, effectively ensuring he will be sworn in next year.  A question occurs: Can he faithfully pledge to “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”? For one thing, Hamawy previously lied under oath on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, during the trial that convicted him of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center the first time.  Then, Hamawy repeatedly shouted during his victory party last week “Allahu Akhbar” – the declaration that “Allah is the greatest” jihadists notably make as they perpetrate terrifying violence on unbelievers.   Finally, there's the prospect that, if Hamawy is elected, he will take his oath with a hand on the Koran, a book that commands its adherents to lie to the infidels. What could possibly go wrong? This is Frank Gaffney.

“What has Tim learned after 25 years of apologetics?” In this episode, Tim reflects on his extensive experience in Catholic apologetics, addressing questions such as the obligation of Catholics to follow Ember Days and the trustworthiness of the Catholic Church’s authority. He also tackles challenges faced by parents with children who have left the faith and discusses the complexities of interfaith dialogue regarding the nature of God. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:00 – What has Tim Staples Learned after a quarter -century of doing Catholic Apologetics? 14:55 – Are Catholics still obliged to follow Ember Day? 18:20 – Why should we trust the Catholic Church and its authority? My friend is a non-Catholic and is concerned he will be deceived. He is trying to trust the Catholic Church but doesn't know how. 41:34 – My adult son has left the faith and challenges me about it. He sent me a video of someone saying if Adam and Eve are the parents of humanity, how did we end up with so many races and genetic backgrounds. How would we answer this? 49:15 – Why does the Catechism teach Muslims worship the same God, when the God of the Koran is so vastly different from the God of the Bible? Is there a way to tell if another monotheistic religion worships the same God or not?

In aflevering #144 buigen Randy, Wimar en Wouter zich over Zohran Mamdani, de 34-jarige democratisch socialist die op nieuwjaarsdag 2026 met de hand op de Koran in een metrostation werd beëdigd als 112e burgemeester van New York. Een moslim, migrant, rapper, social media fenomeen en socialist die de hoofdstad van het kapitalisme verovert met de saaiste agenda denkbaar: huur bevriezen, kinderopvang gratis, bussen gratis, een gemeentelijke supermarkt per borough en miljonairs zwaarder belasten. We ontleden wat hem tot wereldwijd mediafenomeen maakt, wat hij precies bedoelt met "democratisch socialisme", en hoe hij tegenstand — van Trumps "communist"-frame tot drie anti-Mamdani SuperPACs met tientallen miljoenen aan Wall Street-geld — systematisch in zijn voordeel keert. De echte Tegengif-vraag ligt dichter bij huis. Wat zegt het dat een direct gekozen burgemeester in zijn eerste week twaalf executive orders tekent, terwijl in Den Haag een formatie maanden duurt om bij weinig uit te komen? Waarom voert geen Nederlandse partij een vergelijkbaar concrete betaalbaarheid agenda — en zit dat probleem in de politiek, het bestuur of de media? Is Mamdani een populist, en is dat erg? Kan het populistische register — directheid, alledaagsheid, een herkenbare vijand — eindelijk ook van links komen, of maakt het Nederlandse poldermodel een eigen Mamdani structureel onmogelijk?

Jesus was born by a palm tree, and spoke as an adult from His cradle. And there were Samaritans in the wildernes. Plus Miriam the mother of Jesus was the sister of Moses and Aaron. (That's what it says.) Islam claims that our Bible was corrupted. Now you see the whole truth...

Tuesday, 12 May 2026   And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”  Matthew 19:24   “Again, now, I say to you, easier, it is: camel through ‘aperture, needle' to traverse, if rich entered into the ‘kingdom, the God'.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus noted the impracticability of a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens. He now shows just how hard this is, saying, “Again, now, I say to you, easier, it is.”   Jesus will give an example of the immense impracticability of a rich person getting into the kingdom of the heavens. His words have resulted in several unfounded explanations of the meaning. What He says is, “camel through ‘aperture, needle' to traverse.”   Two new words are introduced here. The first is trupéma, an aperture. In the case of a needle, it would be what we call its eye. The second is the rhaphis, a needle, coming from rhapto, to sew.   In plain English, Jesus says that it is easier for a camel to go through the aperture (the eye) of a needle than what He will next state. Before that, two amendments to this over the centuries to soften the meaning have been made. The first is that some claim the word is not κάμηλος [kamelos], a camel, but κάμιλος [kamilos], a cable. It is agreed there is no support for this, but it was introduced.   The second change-up is a switcheroo in the meaning of “aperture.” Instead of it being a literal needle's eye, it is a gate called the Eye of the Needle, which is not big enough for a camel to go through.   This is something that was introduced much later in Christian history. Most believe it came about around the 1400s to soften the meaning of Jesus' words, probably introduced by someone who was rich and didn't like the implication of what Jesus says, which continues with “if rich entered into the ‘kingdom, the God'.”   In other words, it is easier for a camel to squish through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get to heaven. The comparison of an animal going through a literal needle's eye is seen elsewhere in Mideastern writings. The Koran uses Jesus' statement exactly, without regard to a gate. The Talmud uses the term “elephant” instead of “camel.”   Another point is that the word trupéma, aperture, in Matthew is changed in Mark 10:25 to trumalia, orifice. Likewise, the word rhaphis, needle, is changed in Luke 18:25 to belos, a missile (as in the flaming darts of Ephesians 6:16).   Why are these changes important? It is because they demonstrate that Jesus was talking of something small, held in the hand, and that has an aperture or an orifice, not an eye. The word “eye” is an explanation, not a translation. In other words, Jesus was speaking of a literal needle with a teeny weeny, eensy weensy hole in it.   It was a phrase that would have been known and understood by the disciples without any changes or needed modifications.   Life application: At times, pastors will use the “small gate” explanation in an attempt to justify why it is ok to be rich, teaching that Jesus was giving a moral lesson and He wanted to show that a camel must get on its knees to squish through such a small gate. Thus, we should be humble as we rake in the millions.   This is a ludicrous twisting of Scripture, and it completely misses Jesus' point. The words of this verse are making a point about trusting in anything but God for a right standing with him. Jesus will even say this explicitly.   But people run ahead with teachings that are easy to comprehend, sensational, or that seem to relieve the immense tension that arises with such a bold statement about wealth and salvation. If they would pick up the Bible and read it in context and from cover to cover, the tension would fade away.   Paul explains exactly what the meaning of Jesus' words is in 1 Timothy 6:17 –   “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.”   Jesus was speaking about trust. Paul, speaking through Timothy to rich people (yes, saved rich people), speaks about trust. Trust in Jesus, regardless of how much you have, little or much. That is the sweet spot.   Heavenly Father, whatever wealth or possessions we possess, they ultimately came from You. We thank You for what we have, but we also know it could all be gone in a flash of fire or a deluge of water. We will put our trust in You alone for all things. Amen.

Per Muhammad: The Pharaoh of the Exodus actually was saved at the last minute and became a Muslim. Strange additions also to the story of Joseph. And one son of Noah got off the ark and drowned. Plus, the many languages that make up the Koran.

Unexpected and unwanted visitors begin making frequent appearances at Kingston's office, raising tension and unanswered questions. London opens up about a dark experience from her past, revealing a side of her story no one expected. As Kyro continues making bold moves, he unknowingly begins creating dangerous new enemies. Meanwhile, Koran sets his sights on someone special adding another layer to the growing drama.

War - jihad - is the theme now. And since chapter 9 is said by scholars to be Muhammad's last words, it could be thought that all former words about peace etc have been abrogated.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dr. Minhas Khan from Peshawar University about the complexities of intra-faith relations and the limitations of Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" theory. They explore how the perception of the Muslim world as a monolithic entity is often a reductive Western construct used to serve political agendas, rather than an accurate reflection of its diverse cultural and ethnic landscapes. The conversation delves into the historical and structural roots of internal divisions within Islam, such as the Sunni-Shia divide, arguing that these fractures are frequently exacerbated by deliberate foreign engineering and statecraft rather than purely ancient theological hatred. Pinna and Khan also examine the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, highlighting the role of resource control—specifically oil—and the unique position of Pakistan as a potential diplomatic mediator in a region where economic interests often override religious identity. Dr. Minhas Majeed Khan is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Born in Lakki Marwat, a remote area in the South of KP, she was married at the age of 16 due to which she had to discontinue her studies. With the support of her husband and three children she took a restart after 16 years of marriage and obtained her Ph.D. degree in International Relations in 2013. Dr. Khan teaches various courses to students of Masters level, MPhil and Ph.D. She is currently supervising one Ph.D., one Mphil and six undergrads dissertations. She has to her credit various publication in national and international academic journals. Her areas of interest focus on the study of religion and its role in politics, role of gender in peace and security, foreign policy decision-making, conflict resolution, US and Pakistan relations; regional politics of South, South West and Central Asia, the Pakhtuns; and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). As a Muslim woman, she strongly feels committed to strengthen the role of women in conflict transformation and peace building in a diverse setting with an aim at promoting peace and tolerance for a peaceful and stable international society. Dr. Khan is an active member of Pakistan Girls Guide Association and member to Regional Institute of Policy Research and Training (RIPORT) Board of Directors since 2010.

Some "Bible" stories by the prophet, then his declaration that the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18 (referring to Jesus) is really about himself.

The "polytheists" (Christians) take another hit. And a strange fatalism that overlaps with our idea of a Sovereign God, surfaces. Can God create evil, as Muhammad suggests?

Sura 5, "The Table". The Koran declares that a table is let down from heaven... perhaps referring to the Lord's Table? And, More statements that deny Jesus His real identity.

Though a few statements about Jesus in the Koran align with what we know from the Bible, other parts do not. __________ Register for our Truth Rising watch party in Knoxville by visiting colsoncenter.org/knoxville.

Chapter (Sura) 4 in Koran is called "the women." You may be a bit surprised at the teachings on this subject. But I wonder how many today are aware of the Bible's teachings on "the women."

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John and Elliot discuss the intricate and often nuanced overlaps between different religions and belief systems, comparing and contrasting internal divisions within Islamic tradition with those in Christian tradition. They explore the historical and theological distinctions between Sunni and Shia Islam, examining how each sect interprets concepts like leadership, succession, and divine authority. Their deep dive unpacks how these factions navigate their respective identities, the role of historical figures and political movements in shaping these differences, and the ongoing challenges of reconciling distinct interpretations within the broader Islamic community. Throughout the discussion, they also reflect on how historical, cultural, and geopolitical contexts have influenced these sectarian identities, highlighting how they both shape and are shaped by the shared quest for spiritual legitimacy.

Charles steps in as a support system in an unexpected situation, proving that loyalty shows up when it matters most. Farrah is pushed to make a difficult decision that could change her path, while Koran moves through what feels like a farewell tour closing chapters and leaving lasting impressions. Meanwhile, Kane steps into a new space, finally taking control of his personal life as the pressure around him builds

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John and Elliot discuss the multifaceted and often unsettling implications of technology and power in our society. The conversation shifts from science fiction, specifically the depiction of Starfleet in Star Trek, to historical events like Pearl Harbor and World War II, examining how societies grapple with traumatic events and the subsequent need for justification and moral clarity. A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on the intersection of government, technology, and ethics, particularly regarding modern infrastructure and military operations. John and Elliot explore themes of systemic responsibility, the role of leadership in shaping national narratives, and the psychological impact of technological advancements, debating how these elements collectively influence our understanding of humanity and progress.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John and Elliot discuss the multifaceted relationship between global events, economic trends, and political leadership, particularly focusing on the actions of Donald Trump. They explore themes of insider trading and market speculation tied to geopolitical tensions, such as the war in Iran, suggesting that a significant portion of international conflict is driven by financial incentives that benefit a small elite. They also touch on the "messianic" perception of political leaders and the psychological dynamics of those who support such figures, linking these to broader societal trends like the "Indie Web" movement and the desire for alternative, decentralized information sources. Finally, the conversation highlights a growing cynicism toward established institutions and the perceived influence of powerful individuals over the economy and public discourse.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna and Elliot Toman discuss the increasingly blurred lines between religion and governance in the United States, specifically examining the impact of the Trump administration on the separation of church and state. They explore the "unholy union" between Donald Trump and the broader Christian community, analyzing how his charisma and strategic alignment on issues like abortion have garnered loyalty from diverse religious blocks despite his often amoral public persona. The dialogue shifts into deeper theological and geopolitical territory, touching upon Five-Point Calvinism, the concept of a "sovereign magistrate," and the ambition to restore a "Christendom" framework both domestically and through interventionist policies in the Middle East. Pinna and Toman also contrast these Western religious-political movements with the internal struggles of the Islamic world, discussing post-colonialism, the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran, and the dangers of approaching modern conflicts as "faith-based wars" led by opportunistic rather than principled leaders.

Raymond Ibrahim exposes the hidden truths of Islamic doctrine  Raymond talks about deception tactics like taqiyya, and why Western weakness is accelerating Islamization in Europe and beyond Go to https://andrewgoldheretics.com to get exclusive content and the bonus questions.

From his Coptic Christian heritage to discovering al-Qaeda's radically different Arabic messages (pure jihad theology vs. Western grievance narratives), Ibrahim uncovers taqiyya deception, the real meaning of "kafir/infidel," and how jizya tax systematically forced mass conversions across conquered Christian lands like Egypt and Syria. He explains the "bully mentality": Western appeasement and cultural capitulation (King Charles hosting Muslim prayers, stadiums turned prayer halls) only emboldens Islamists and radicalizes second/third-generation Muslims, while strong, confident societies historically prompted assimilation. Ibrahim warns of the Muslim Brotherhood's documented "civilizational jihad" to sabotage the West from within, Iran's Shia end-times theology making nuclear weapons especially dangerous, and grim demographics: the UK already far beyond official 6-9% Muslim figures, with projections of 25-50% in coming decades leading to irreversible takeover unless reversed. The crisis is self-inflicted—Islam isn't invading; it's invited—and reversal demands rejecting multicultural paralysis, weaponized "human rights," and useful-idiot alliances. Featuring the poison-candy analogy for immigration risks, historical pushbacks (Reconquista Spain, Balkans, Hungary), and why places like Poland remain untouched.
