On Friday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump has likely made up his mind to act on Iran, with only military tactics possibly remaining as the question. Iran will never change their ways; there mindset is not about deals. Whether it's ​the ​Marxist or ​the ​Islamist ​ideology, ​whether ​it's ​our ​belief ​system, - it's all ​about ​power, ​the ​proper ​use ​of ​it ​and ​the ​improper ​use ​of ​it. Islamism seeks total control over mind, body, society, and government through Sharia, unlike the Judeo-Christian focus on individual liberty. Islam has not undergone an enlightenment against theocracy, and dominant Muslim groups in the West support Islamism, which rejects interpretive diversity and often prioritizes political agendas, including antisemitism and anti-Israel motives. Islamists aim to conquer rather than coexist, as shown by sectarian violence, terrorism (Hamas, Al Qaeda, etc.), and Iran's deceptive pursuit of nuclear weapons despite negotiations. Later, the Democrat Party truly hates America and they're at war with America. That's why the Islamists and the Marxists are now part of their coalition, just as decades ago the segregationists and the slavers were part of their coalition. It's all about power for this party. Democrats hate native-born Americans and seek to replace them with illegal immigrants. This is because many immigrants do not speak English, lack understanding of American civil liberties, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution, making them easily manipulated through propaganda. Politicians promise them benefits while attacking productive native citizens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S11) Ali رضي الله عنه captures Amr Ibn Abu Sufyaan and the grandson of Uqbah Ibn Abi Mu'ayt at Badr. Sa'ad Ibn an-Nu'maan رضي الله عنه was an elderly companion who went to perform Umrah and was captured. Zainab رضي الله عنها uses her mother Khadija's رضي الله عنها necklace to pay the ransom for her husband Abu al-Aas رضي الله عنه who was captured as a prisoner at Badr. He wasn't a Muslim at this point.

From the son of a bus driver on a South London council estate to the first Muslim mayor of a major Western capital, Sadiq Khan's story is inseparable from the story of modern London. But with that journey has come a decade at the sharpest end of British politics.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the Mayor of London to trace the path from a crowded flat in Tooting to City Hall. Khan reflects on his parents' migration from Pakistan, the racism he experienced growing up, and the teachers who helped him see that the rooms of power were not off limits. He describes the leap from human rights lawyer to MP, the gamble of running for mayor, and the reality of governing a city through terror attacks, Brexit, a pandemic and deep political division.They discuss the resurgence of overt racism, the personal cost of public life, and why Khan refuses to let abuse dictate his politics. He speaks candidly about the backlash he faced over equal marriage, the solidarity he believes minorities must show one another, and the responsibility he feels to prove that London remains a city where progress is possible.Attention also turns to the future of the Labour Party. As calls emerge for Keir Starmer to stand down, Khan addresses the speculation directly. He reflects on party unity, leadership under pressure and the dangers of allowing internal divisions to overshadow the broader task facing Labour. For Khan, the question is not about personalities but about purpose: what Labour is for, who it represents, and how it responds at moments when confidence wavers.At its heart, this is a conversation about resilience, representation and the fragile idea of social progress. Can a city that once displayed signs reading “No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs” continue to move forward.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

The Qur'an famously declares, “There is no compulsion in religion.” Yet, various forms of religious compulsion persist today in parts of the Muslim world, including death penalties for apostates and blasphemers, legal inequalities that disadvantage women and non-Muslims, and “morality police” who enforce strict norms on society.In this new book from the Cato Institute, Mustafa Akyol has assembled a team of Islamic scholars and intellectuals to articulate arguments against oppressive interpretations of Islam. Drawing on scriptural insights and contemporary realities, they contend that the Qur'anic principle of “no compulsion in religion” should be embraced fully, without exceptions.At this forum, Akyol will summarize key arguments from the book. Mirwais Balkhi will offer his commentary on the book's significance for Afghanistan and the broader Muslim world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into a development project in Kaufman, Texas, linked to a Dubai-based company, over concerns it may become a 'sharia city.' Paxton stated that while on American soil, everyone must obey American laws, and his office will thoroughly investigate the matter. The probe was initiated after reports suggested that up to 20,000 foreign nationals could be moving to the area. Representative Lance Gooden expressed concerns about the development, particularly regarding the inclusion of mosques or religious buildings. This investigation follows a similar case where Paxton sued to stop the construction of EPIC City, another planned Muslim community in northern Texas, alleging securities law violations. The situation raises questions about foreign investment and local control in Texas communities, and the potential impact on the region's cultural and legal landscape. Paxton's actions have drawn both support and criticism, igniting a debate about religious freedom and national security.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he planned to convey Israel’s position on US nuclear talks with Tehran during his meeting with US President Donald Trump today. Horovitz weighs in on what that position may be. Even as Hamas continues to refuse to lay down its arms, Indonesia is preparing for the potential deployment of 5,000 to 8,000 troops to Gaza under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, according to the country’s army chief of staff, Maruli Simanjuntak. We hear why the largest Muslim nation in the world is ready to step into the Strip. After Israel's security cabinet announced unprecedented steps to regulate the settlement of the West Bank, the Trump administration reiterated its opposition to Israel annexing the territory. What are among the series of measures aimed at expanding Jerusalem’s grip in the areas Palestinians hope will make up their future state? On Monday night, Netanyahu shared a post on social media accusing former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar of falsifying the intelligence agency’s probe into the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led assault and positioning himself as “de facto prime minister” after the attack. Why lies behind this most recent social media storm? President Isaac Herzog continues his solidarity tour of Australia this week and is greeted with pro-Palestinian protesters at every stop. Horovitz expresses his shock and dismay. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Dr. Wiles is back from Rome—and this week's episode is part travel debrief, part church-life update, and part deep dive into worship.The team swaps stories about jet lag, Super Bowl naps, and the behind-the-scenes “moose-level” logistics of leading a church pilgrimage through Rome. Along the way, Dr. Wiles reflects on one unexpected highlight: the remarkable hospitality of Roman Catholic priests and friars who welcomed a Protestant group with generosity—letting them lecture, tour, and even share the Lord's Supper on sacred ground.Back home, the conversation turns to what's ahead at church: Ash Wednesday and the start of a Good Shepherd focus, a men's retreat, Faith at Home (“Mission Possible”), and the kickoff of Ramadan gift bags—along with encouragement to engage Muslim neighbors with humility, prayer, and simple faithfulness.They also honor the long-awaited retirement celebration for David Butts, celebrating decades of faithful children's ministry and the lasting impact on families across the church.Finally, they unpack Sunday's sermon from Isaiah 6, exploring worship as a whole-life response to God's holiness—one that confronts sin, heals what we can't fix ourselves, and sends us back into the world with purpose: “Here I am. Send me.” Next week: John the Baptist.

A petition with over 25,000 signatures is trying to stop a so-called “mega/super mosque” being built in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal — and we asked the simple question: what exactly is the problem with a place of worship?With live callers and voice notes flying in, we hear everything from “it doesn't affect your life, don't go” to blunt admissions of not wanting mosques in “my country”.Irish Muslim pharmacist Fadiya joins us with an honest, powerful perspective on growing up Muslim in Ireland, while others argue about planning, immigration, “Islamification” and fear.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, what's happening in the West, and particularly the United States is an unprecedented form of self-sabotage or national suicide, where the greatest nation deliberately opened its borders, imported people from regions who refuse to assimilate, contribute, or integrate, and instead seek to destroy and conquer from within. This is not a hostile invasion, but a celebrated parade enabled by the Democrat Party, liberal groups in Europe and elsewhere, and secularists, and who believe in unrestricted openness. No society in ancient or modern history has survived such deliberate self-destruction, and the United States will not either. When Islam conquers lands, it imposes its faith and will without allowing diversity of viewpoints or beliefs, often eliminating opposition—including among Muslims themselves. This ideology has now significantly entered the United States, where a movement exploits Western values like free speech, freedom of assembly, religion, and due process to undermine and destroy them, while Sharia law in fundamentalist countries rejects these freedoms. Also, Iran poses a severe threat to future American generations, potentially acquiring nuclear warheads on ICBMs and vast ballistic missile capabilities if not confronted now. The regime is currently at its weakest point in 47 years, crippled by Israeli strikes that destroyed its air force, navy, radar, and Russian-supplied air defenses. Why are we negotiating with them? Later, Rep. Chris Smith calls in and strongly condemns the Hong Kong court's 20-year sentence imposed on 78-year-old Jimmy Lai. It's a horrific life sentence for a man of faith, conviction, legendary entrepreneur, and champion of free speech. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's Tuesday, February 10th, A.D. 2026. 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 Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus Hong Kong man critical of Chinese Communists sentenced to 20 years In a Hong Kong court, religious freedom and free speech advocate Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for publishing articles against the communist Chinese government. Lai is a British Citizen and an adherent of the Catholic Church. World journalists are marking the case as a worldwide setback for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The United Kingdom home office has responded to the news. The Hong Kong Free Press reports that “British national status holders will be able to immigrate into the U.K. with their children. The office estimates that 26,000 people will arrive in the U.K. over the next five years.” Thousands of Tanzanians murdered Political upheaval, tyranny, and blood in the streets is the order of the day in Tanzania over the last few months.  Some reports have revealed the government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan killed thousands of Tanzanians. Hassan is a Muslim who was re-elected in a landslide victory last October, marred by accusations of massive fraud.  That's when the African country was plunged into chaos and rioting.  The bloodshed and terror has gone on for months, reports The Washington Stand. In an effort to conceal the atrocities taking place there, the government has reportedly shut down the internet. Tanzania is at least nominally Christian with a 57 percent Christian population and a 37 percent Muslim population, as the Muslim creep hits south Saharan Africa. Christian martyrdom grows with Muslim population in Nigeria Islamic influence is growing in Nigeria as well — a nation where 56 percent of the population is Muslim and 43 percent is Christian. This has resulted in the martyrdom of 50,000 Christians and the displacement of millions of Christians from their homeland.   Pray for our Christian brothers and sisters and the people of Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda.  Civilian killings continue in Nigeria Last Tuesday, almost 200 Nigerians were killed by gunmen in the communities of Woro and Katsina, reports the International Center for Transitional Justice. Woro is located in the western Nigerian state of Kwara, while Katsina is in the northern region of the country. Psalm 35:1 says, “Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.” War Department will no longer work with Harvard War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the War Department will no longer send military officers to Harvard. He slammed the university for what he called its support of terrorism and the Chinese Communist Party.   Hegseth said, “Too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” The War Department is set to re-evaluate all Ivy League school partnerships.  Virginia Democrats unveil gerrymandered congressional map Democrat lawmakers in Virginia put forward a new congressional map heading into the midterm elections this November. The Old Dominion state map heavily favors Democrats, giving them four extra seats, while the Republicans would lose four seats. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the new congressional map for California was valid, giving Democrats five additional seats. Virginia Democrats swept the last election, winning races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General.  All told, gerrymandering in Virginia, California, and a few other states should yield the Democrats an additional 5 to 9 seats in Congress in 2026. And gerrymandering in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri could yield the Republicans an additional 6 to 10 seats in the upcoming election. Connecticut works to expand abortion access Connecticut is launching a billboard campaign to promote abortion and death, reports LifeSiteNews. The campaign, sponsored by the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, is advertising the state's commitment to make the killing of unborn children more accessible. Billboards will announce a state-provided pro-abortion hotline.  Connecticut Democrat Attorney General William Tong talked about his state's culture of death. He said, “Abortion is safe, legal and accessible here in Connecticut, and that's the way it's going to stay.”  But Proverbs 31:9 instructs us to “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” GOP Rep chastises NBC & NFL for Bad Bunny's foul lyrics And finally, Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show turned into one big leftist political statement with Benito Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, and a few other characters, who openly opposed President Trump's “America First” policies.   To his shame, the Puerto Rican singer sang a bunch of foul-mouthed, sexually-explicit lyrics in Spanish. Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida did not pull any punches in his X post. He wrote, “You can't say the f-word on live TV. Bad Bunny's disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth -- in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. “We are sending FCC Chairman Brendan Carr a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny. Lock them up.” You can send a short 2-4 sentence letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, urging him to levy these fines.  The address is Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. Kid Rock, on Turning Point USA's half-time show, pointed to Christ Meanwhile, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, simulcast their alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Robert Ritchie known as Kid Rock. Some 20 to 30 million Americans tuned in, reports Fox News. Kid Rock threw in another verse to the hit song “Til You Can't.” Check out the lyrics.

On this week's episode of the podcast, Stéphane Lacroix of Sciences Po joins Marc Lynch to discuss his new book, Twilight of the Saints: The History and Politics of Salafism in Contemporary Egypt.  The book examines the history of Salafism in Egypt from its 1920s emergence in Cairo's scholarly circles through the present day, shedding new light on the movement's shifting relationship to politics. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews, Lacroix illustrates how Salafism redefined what it means to be Muslim for Egyptians.

“How do you make a good examination of conscience?” This essential practice is explored alongside questions about the significance of Jesus’ second coming, the role of the Trinity in marriage counseling, and the implications of annulments for remarriage. Each topic sheds light on the complexities of faith and relationships within the Catholic tradition. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 07:50 – How do you make a good examination of conscience? 19:25 – What does it mean that Jesus will come again in glory? Was the first time at creation, the incarnation, or the Eucharist? 22:00 – How might one use the image of the Trinity when counseling couples for marriage? 24:33 – What happened to the gold, frankincense, and myrrh that the wise men gave to Mary and Joseph? 29:57 – If my husband divorced and I have an annulment, does he have to die before I can marry someone else? 36:00 – My wife and I are going through OCIA and our annulments are not complete. If the annulments are not finalized by Holy Week would we still be able to enter the Church provided that we intend to remain celibate until the annulments are resolved? 41:00 – Could a widow enter into a marriage that was just through the Catholic Church and not a civil, legal marriage? I'm getting mixed answers about whether or not this should be done. 43:26 – My son is getting married to a muslim woman. He was raised Catholic. Now he says he believes in God but not in Jesus' divinity. She is Muslim but not very practicing. They told her father a lie, that my son converted to Islam, to appease him. How do I handle this upcoming wedding?

Patrick answers an email question about a transition from Mormonism to Catholicism, unpacking the Church’s teachings on revelation and changes in doctrine with clarity. Questions pour in: when does transubstantiation happen, should laypeople extend hands in blessing, why cling to the past? Patrick explains the church’s origins, the unity Christ wants, and offers guidance for Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic callers wrestling with faith, tradition and marriage. Patrick continues answering the email from the end of the last hour. What is the best way to understand and explain why Peter retained prophetic abilities and continued to add to the deposit of faith but that this charism was no longer needed after that deposit was essentially completed upon the deaths of the apostles? (00:18) LtCol Dan (email) - If what you just said is true about divine revelation, that it ended with the Apostles, how do we make sense of St. Faustina’s Divine Mercy instruction from Jesus, visitation to purgatory, etc.? (03:56) Brian - Why does transubstantiation occur during the mass? (15:58) Daniel - The priest asks us to extend our right hand forward over people being blessed. Is that appropriate? (22:24) Santos - You were talking about the Mormon Church. Why do you point all this stuff about rejecting black people? What happened already happened. When are we going to stop this. Nobody is a saint. (26:21) Ryan - I was born and raised Orthodox, and I go to a Catholic Church now. What should my next step be? (38:56) Paul - Is a marriage between a Muslim and Baptized Catholic valid? (47:10)

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dennis Petri, focusing on the evolution and current state of metrics used to gauge religious freedom and persecution. Petri explains how documenting religious incidents is crucial for making them visible to policymakers, countering older secularization theories that often overlooked religious influence in public life. The discussion highlights the transition from anecdotal evidence to sophisticated datasets—such as those from the Pew Research Center—while acknowledging persistent gaps in capturing implicit discrimination and the nuanced cultural contexts of faith. A major theme of the interview is the potential for artificial intelligence and "big data" to enhance real-time reporting and move research beyond nationwide aggregates toward more detailed, sub-national analysis. Ultimately, Pinna and Petri emphasize the need for a "new IRFA moment" to update international religious freedom policies in alignment with modern technological advancements and data-driven insights. Prof. Dr. Dennis P. Petri is a political scientist, researcher, and international consultant, with extensive experience in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He has worked in academic and policy roles for various universities, international NGOs, and multilateral organizations.

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

On Friday, New York City's communist Muslim mayor Zoran Mamdani unveiled a sweeping throwdown with the Trump administration's policies aimed at removing illegal aliens from this country. Particularly noteworthy was Mamdani's declaration that his model for dealing with immigrants would align with the welcome and good home the people of Medina gave to Islam's first migrant, Muhammad. As freedom fighter Kevin Freeman has pointed out, however, Muhammad repaid Medina's Jewish tribes who gave him such refuge by ultimately destroying them, murdering the men, and turning their women and children into sex slaves and chattel. The effects of Mamdani's aggressively anti-ice, open door, and sanctuary city policies emulating those exploited by Islam's perfect man, Muhammad will not only put at risk his own population, inevitably those to whom he is recklessly giving refuge will emulate the example of Mamdani's prophet and destructively migrate elsewhere in America too.   This is Frank Gaffney.

Turning to Christ in a Muslim country is an amazing story. At the recent FEBC Leadership conference our friend Jonathan Mortiz took the time to talk with Ulaanbek, our Kyrgyzstan director. The focus of the conversation centered on how he found Jesus and how the power of God transformed his life. He shared troubles in childhood, and how his faith brought him to forgiveness with his estranged father. Hear how his personal testimony shapes the way listeners respond to Gospel broadcasts in Kyrgyzstan…Until All Have Heard.

Aalimah Sarah Ahmed sits down with her husband, Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith, for a candid conversation on the evolving landscape of Muslim mental health. They reflect on his recent work in counseling and therapy, his ongoing writing and research, and the unique challenges Muslims face when seeking healing in a space that often separates the psychological from the spiritual. Together, they explore what it means to approach therapy with faith intact, how Islamic scholarship can inform ethical and effective care, and why our communities must move beyond coping toward true healing of the Muslim soul. Text to get in touch!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and share!

In this episode of our “OCIA: The Bridge to Rome” series, Greg takes listeners on a journey through the Stations of the Cross, sharing his unforgettable experience praying them on Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa at dawn amid echoing Muslim calls to prayer. He explores the devotion's rich history from early Christian pilgrimages and St. Helena's discoveries to Franciscan popularization and St. John Paul II's biblical alternative, detailing each of the fourteen traditional stations with their scriptural roots and traditional elements. Greg explains how they're arranged and prayed in churches worldwide, the challenges of the actual Holy Land path, and why this Lenten practice fosters deep empathy and conversion. Drawing contrasts with Protestant views and tying in films like "The Passion of the Christ," this monologue highlights the Stations as a bridge to Easter's glory, ideal for OCIA participants and faith seekers.

A tale from the Victorian Era: In 1860 the Druze massacred the Christians in Lebanon, the Muslims massacred the Christians in Damascus, and now the Christians wanted to set-off massacres of the Jews there as well as in Baghdad, but Lord Palmerston & Lord Russel (thanks to Montefiore) prevented this.

Always feisty. Always blunt. The Catholic League's president, Bill Donohue, is not terribly fond of New York City's new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. And it's not because Mayor Mamdani is Muslim. He doesn't care about that. What he cares about is the observation that Mamdani has excluded traditional religious practices, specifically, Judeo-Christian heritage. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Donohue unleashes a laundry list of complaints he's logged that prove his points. He also has some words for the state of Catholic higher education and how he believes they're moving from traditional Christian values to adopt a more secular agenda. Believe him or not, Bill Donohue always does his homework and has the facts to back up his claims.

Episode 5122: Stopping The Muslim Brotherhood From Stealing Texas And Suing CAIR

The "Apostate Prophet" Ridvan Aydemir joins the show to break down the doctrine of Muslim supremacy, and how Islam sees itself as a conquering ideology that will inevitably control all aspects of global life — which it will achieve through deception, mass immigration, and finally by overt colonization. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announces a major donation to support TPUSA's Club America efforts, and talks about the all-important struggle to keep Texas as a red state.
