Podcasts about Muslims

What happens when a custody dispute turns into a fight over whether a child is being harmed by religion—and the courts are forced to weigh in? This week, we dig into a disturbing custody case that forces an uncomfortable question into the open: should religion get special protection when kids are the ones paying the price? We also cover the Mormon Church's latest branding hypocrisy as it pressures independent podcasts to stop using the word "Mormon," a Utah high school administrator delivering a religiously loaded pep talk that shames struggling students, and a World Cup Pride match in Seattle that sends Iran and Egypt into predictable outrage. Plus: Florida and Texas label a Muslim civil rights group a "terrorist organization," the Catholic Church is forced into a $230 million abuse settlement, and new Pew data reveals that religion's long decline in the U.S. may have temporarily stalled.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump has never flinched in his support for the state of Israel, and he's very concerned about the antisemitism taking place in the U.S. and around the world. But there are some Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes types who say they're done with Trump because he's Israel first. These people are trying to destroy MAGA, the Republican party and the Trump presidency. We won't let that happen. Also, you're not hearing any condemnation from the Palestinian world on the Australia terror attack because it's considered an accomplishment. This kind of slaughter is encouraged there and it's not just against Jews; they are targeting the entire West. Later, the public faces of the Brown university investigation are embarrassing. We don't know a lot. What we do know that these institutions let their student body down by not taking precautions. Afterward, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and argues that post-9/11, society has forgotten its causes and normalized abnormal behaviors. Radical Islam is a strain of the religion, not just a terrorist organization, with its believers, religious Nazis, dedicated to purifying Islam, destroying Jews, killing infidels, and establishing a master religion like the Nazis' master race. The biggest victims are other Muslims, and fighting this enemy requires properly defining it, and striking preemptively. Finally, documents reveal that the FBI's Washington Field Office doubted probable cause for the Mar-A-Lago search warrant and preferred negotiating with Trump's lawyer to resolve the issue amicably, noting Trump's potentially strong legal arguments on the documents. However, Merrick Garland and his Department of Justice overruled these concerns, insisting on the raid despite the FBI's reservations about its necessity and professionalism.

A sober look at global faithfulness serves as a mirror for believers who often forget the cost of following Christ. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar consider the weight of persecution as they reflect on how Christians in Turkey face real danger for sharing the gospel, a stark contrast to the ease of access in the United States. They note that believers in Muslim contexts live with constant questions about government intervention, yet persecution has unified the small Christian remnant. The guys affirm that it is understandable to feel nervous when sharing the gospel, since even Paul had concerns but still chose to obey God rather than man.The conversation shifts to what fuels courage, and the guys return to the cross where hostility met perfect love. They discuss how raising God's truths often sparks tension, which is why gentleness is crucial. Jesus warned that the world would hate His followers just as it hated Him, yet His response to persecution was marked by sacrifice and humility. The early church served instead of retaliating, but once Christianity was Romanized, this attitude changed; the guys encourage believers to recover a Christlike way of fighting for truth, especially when loving enemies feels unnatural.They then consider what believers should do when hostility comes from family. The call is to understand the other person's perspective while remaining faithful. Jesus delivered a perfect message and was still rejected, so modern believers should expect the same. The guys warn that Christians can invite ridicule by arguing instead of witnessing, forgetting that they, too, once stood opposed to the gospel. A humble heart aims to make the message clear so the lost might see their need for the Savior and trust God to bring salvation. Evangelism and discipleship go together, shaped by sincerity and reliance on the Lord.Finally, the guys note that many present-day atheists are less focused on the existence of God and more on social and cultural issues, which is why understanding cultural questions is important. Early believers lacked legal protection but relied on the Spirit, and the guys highlight prayer as the true source of strength. Oscar recalls moments when God made him feel incapable so he would depend on the Lord, while E.Z. often prays that unnecessary anxiousness would be removed. Authenticity cannot be faked, and believers should pray both before and after sharing the gospel. The call is to look to God's greatness, not the world's resistance, remembering that faithfulness often invites opposition rather than applause.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Scrutiny intensifies over the still-unsolved shooting at Brown University, as investigators face criticism for missteps, missing evidence, and unanswered questions about motive. A separate killing of an MIT professor raises speculation about possible foreign intelligence interests, while Rep. Ilhan Omar faces renewed investigation over alleged immigration fraud tied to marriage and citizenship laws. The episode turns to broader concerns about the rule of law, including revelations that wealthy Chinese nationals are exploiting birthright citizenship through surrogacy arrangements in the US. Bryan examines growing voter frustration over congressional inaction, the Senate filibuster, and whether the system can still respond to what many see as national security threats. He also reflects on President Trump's controversial remarks following the murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, arguing that both moral clarity and compassion can coexist. Abroad, Australia grapples with deep divisions after Muslim communities condemn the man who stopped an ISIS attacker from killing more Jews. In Ukraine, Congress approves another 800 million dollars in defense funding amid corruption concerns, even as drone warfare rewrites the future of naval combat.

Australia's social cohesion has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, while multicultural communities have come together in vigils and public acts of solidarity with Jewish Australians. The tragic mass shooting, deemed a terror attack by New South Wales Police, saw 15 people killed at a Hanukkah festival on Sunday. As leaders debate tougher laws against hate speech and extremism, Muslim and Jewish voices alike have warned against collective blame, as fears grow of a potential Islamophobic backlash.

Breaking news hits as Dan Bongino is out as FBI Director, and Joe Pags breaks down what happened, what it means, and who could replace him next. Then Pags reacts to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, who compares immigrants to a biblical reference in comments that leave Pags rolling his eyes — and asking what leadership is thinking right now. Finally, Erin Molan joins the show straight from Australia, just blocks from Bondi Beach, where a terror attack by Muslim extremists unfolded. Erin shares what she personally heard, what locals are saying, and the latest updates straight from Sydney. A fast-moving, must-hear hour of breaking news and on-the-ground reporting.

While the mainstream news media will continue portraying the recent mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia as an antisemitic terror attack, a much more likely conclusion is that this was a "false flag" act of terrorism conducted by supporters of Zionism to rally support for their cause and mute criticism of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger note that media narratives quickly blamed Muslims, ISIS, and Iran while dismissing alternative explanations. Jimmy cites past incidents in Australia and the United States involving hoax threats allegedly traced to Israeli individuals, and highlights reporting that Australian police previously investigated paid actors carrying out antisemitic crimes.  Plus segments on Erika Kirk panicking and flying to Nashville to meet with Candace Owens, the U.S.-driven border clash between Thailand and Cambodia and the real reason the Tyler Robinson footage is being suppressed.

The media is complicit in the Hanukkah massacre. That's not an accusation or opinion; it's a demonstrable fact. Today, Josh provides proof. In the wake of the Islamist terrorist attack in Sydney, Josh takes you inside Australia's media landscape, which mirrors that of the United States and western Europe. You'll hear the daughter of an elderly victim bravely call out the mainstream media in the middle of a live interview. Then, Josh digs into the big problem with the media's fixation on one hero. He explains how the media uses stories like that to hide a much bigger reality. He tells you about Jewish heroes who were killed in the attack. And he shares sound from a brave Muslim soldier fighting Islamist terrorism and antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is a hate movement radicalizing the world. Josh explains that Hanukkah is all about defeating anti-Zionism. Yet the media uses the holiday to platform anti-Zionist Jews, giving audiences the false idea that they're large in number.

In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed respond to the terrorist attack on the Hanukkah candle lighting at Bondi Beach in Sydney and the broader surge of antisemitic and ant- Christian violence across the West.  They then continue their conversation about Doug's recent trip to Israel and what it was like to experience the land, the war, and the global faith coalition up close.  In the second half, they are joined by Frank Gaffney for a direct, practical discussion of the Trump administration's executive order related to the Muslim Brotherhood, what it does and does not do, and what ordinary citizens can do right now if they want Western leaders to take jihadist ideology seriously.

Inside of two weeks before Christmas, people are likely seeing houses light up with holiday decorations. But this time of year, there are lots of different celebrations happening in Northeast Ohio, given our region's vast diversity of cultures. For the Jewish community, Hanukkah started Sunday night. The Latino holiday Las Posadas starts today, then there's the upcoming African American holiday Kwanzaa at the end of the month. In early 2026, there's the Lunar New Year celebrated by some Asian cultures, and Ramadan, celebrated by Muslims, and the list goes on. On Tuesday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll talk about how there's a lot to be gained by learning about each other's cultures, at a time where there's also a lot of fear for these communities, with violence and threats against certain cultural groups on the rise. For example, just two days ago, gunmen killed at least 15 people in Australia in what authorities are calling a terrorist attack during a Hanukkah celebration. The "Sound of Ideas" team planned this conversation before this latest tragedy, to highlight our region's multicultural landscape, and allow audience members to learn from and connect with people who are different from them. It is with that spirit that we have this conversation. Guests: -Rabbi Joshua Caruso, Congregation Mishkan Or -Lisa Wong, President, OCA Greater Cleveland -Pooja Khaira, M.D., Academic Chief Resident, MetroHealth & Co-Founder, Sihk Mental Health Summit -Talise Campbell, Ph.D., Director, Djapo Cultural Arts Institute

As a student athlete in Central High School, Tom Singer saw how his African American teammates had very different experiences than he did. This observation fueled his work as an ally in the 1960s civil rights movement.  Tom leveraged his law degree to challenge discrimination, filing a case against a local gym that charged African Americans more for memberships, challenged discriminatory treatment against incarcerated Muslims, and many other actions that pushed for real, meaningful change.  As Tom looked back on the changes from the 1960s into the 21st century, he saw progress. He also saw a need for more. His story reveals the ongoing struggle for racial justice in South Bend._____This episode mentions a 1963 Testimony on Fair Housing held at the University of Notre Dame. Click hereto see text from that. You can also listen to the full oral histories of Audrey and Dr. Bernard Vagner as well as Dr. Roland Chamblee.   This episode was produced by Jon Watson from the Ernestine M.

Dr. Ali Hussain comes back for another deep, thought provoking and historically grounded conversation on the rich tradition of music, instruments, and melodic recitation in Islam, and how colonialism, cultural rupture, and fear-based theology severed Muslims from their own artistic heritage. Dr. Ali claims that Music is not a modern innovation in Islam it is a spiritual tradition rooted in the Prophetic era that we have nearly lost. Dr. Ali Hussain truly believes that music is not haram, that music halal and a necessary part of our tradition. We explore how the Qur'an itself is meant to be experienced melodiously, why art and beauty are central to worship, and how music once played a vital role in spiritual refinement, remembrance, and communal identity.*JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Why is Music Halal?05:16 Music & The Prophet PBUH08:47 The Spirit of Melody in the Quran13:52 Musical Tradition Came from the Prophets?20:57 Why Do People Say Music is Haram?27:04 Does Music Distance You from God?40:21 Using Art as Worship50:24 Why do Humans Need Beauty?54:26 Graffiti and Jazz as Sacred Art?56:22 Speed round Questions#music #haram #islamichistory #muslimpodcast #islamicpodcast*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.

On the 14th of December, as an antisemitic mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah festival at Bondi Beach, several heroes emerged, most notably Ahmed al-Ahmed, a Muslim man of Syrian origin who courageously disarmed one of the attackers. But he was not the only Middle-Eastern Muslim to risk his life to put a stop to the attack. There was another Middle-Eastern Muslim man who risked his life to disarm the other shooter. However, his lawyer says due to his Middle-Eastern appearance and all-black attire, he was thought to be one of the shooters. As a result, he was shot at by police, then set upon by a small crowd of people.

Savage addresses the troubling proliferation of hate and rage on social media and its role in driving engagement, while traditional media declines. He discusses the shocking violence,  including the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife by their own son, a massacre of innocent Jews by two Muslims, and the unexplained killings at Brown University. He questions why such events are becoming more frequent. Savage explains how hate has become commercialized and speculates what role marijuana may play in the rise of violence and psychosis.

Edmund Fitton-Brown argues the Muslim Brotherhood creates an environment for violent extremists like ISIS. He criticizes Western governments, specifically Australia, for appeasing Islamists and recognizing Palestine, which he claims fuels anti-Semitism and radicalization. He warns of "copycat" attacks spreading to the US and Europe due to this permissiveness. 1920 cairo

So-called activist Jake Lang marched into Dearborn, Michigan, in November waving bacon at Qurans, lighting the same on fire, and trying to provoke Muslim residents with chants of “Christ is King” and calls on City Hall to remove all Muslims from the community, and in fact the country. Two major problems exist here: one, if this treatment of Islam were to override the First Amendment, how long do you think it will be before the same war comes for Christianity – has it not already? Two, are you so sure that the rhetoric of Lang even makes sense? A glance at the Quran will demonstrate that it actually teaches peace, not to commit suicide, forbids usury strongly, and the additional sayings of Muhammed call for followers to never kill women or children. Most of the accusations Lang makes against Islam are actually projections of accusations made against Jews. As the propaganda has failed to secure ongoing American support for Israel from all parties, it has turned to a Christian base that is willing to sell its birthright for a couple Bible verses. Hence, Jesus is the reason for the treason. Listen to Ground Zero tonight as Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and speaks with guest, Chris Michaels about – Jesus Is The Reason For The Treason.

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. On Sunday evening, a radicalized father and son targeted the annual “Chanukah by the Sea” event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach and killed at least 15, after firing some 50 shots at the 1,000-strong crowd. Another 38 people were wounded, including two police officers. This morning, Australian officials confirmed they believe it was “a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State.” Horovitz updates us on this confirmation and other newly uncovered information about the gunmen's plot. Newly discovered dashcam footage shows one of the increasingly exposed examples of ordinary citizens willing to take on the attackers. Boris and Sofia Gurman confronted the father and son gunmen after the murderous pair parked their ISIS-flag-draped car. Both Gurmans were shot dead. We hear other moving stories of valor. In the wake of the attack — the second-worst mass shooting in Australia’s history -- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pushing for stricter gun control. Yesterday, Albanese rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that his government’s recognition of Palestinian statehood earlier this year “pours fuel” on an “antisemitic fire.” Horovitz explains how many Australian Jews feel government authorities have not done enough to stamp out hatred of Jews in Australia, which has allowed it to fester in the aftermath of October 7. Among his proposals, spelled out in an op-ed on The Times of Israel, is for a large-scale educational reboot to teach children tolerance alongside reading, writing and arithmetic. Finally, we turn to the heartbreaking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The Reiners’ son, Nick Reiner, was in police custody Monday for what investigators believe was the fatal stabbing of his parents at their Los Angeles home a day earlier, police said. Horovitz shares until-now unpublished pieces from a The Guardian interview with the director-actor dating from February 2024, in which Reiner stated, "Right now the world is shifting away from Israel – and that to me is very sad."

It's Tuesday, December 16th, 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 Kevin Swanson Chinese Communists arrested 18 pastors over evangelism online Chinese Pastor Ezra Jin and 17 other pastors have been arrested by Chinese Communist authorities on charges of using illegal information networks. Translation? Putting the Gospel message on Zoom is now illegal in China.   The pastors are facing three years in prison.   A pastor's wife described the situation on the Christian Broadcasting Network. WIFE: “China opened the door for the Western society and then grow their economy. I grew up from that period of time. So, I thought we weren't gonna be put in jail because of our Christianity or our faith.” Chinese officials convicted liberty advocate Jimmy Lai Not surprisingly, those Chinese communists have convicted Hong Kong's pro-liberty advocate, Jimmy Lai, with conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. It's a charge that could put him in prison for life. This was the highest profile case since Hong Kong was turned over to the communists in 1997, and Hong Kong's democratic elections halted in 2020. China to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for childbirth China is planning to eliminate all out-of-pocket medical costs for childbirth with the hopes of encouraging more births. China's fertility rate is dismal, hovering around 1.0. In fact, Chinese deaths have outnumbered births for three years in a row now. The countries with the lowest fertility rates in the world are Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Ukraine, and Chile. Two Muslim men killed 16 Jews in Sydney, Australia On Sunday, two Muslim men, a father and son, have been identified as suspects in the killings of 16 people at a Jewish celebration of Hannukah in Sydney, Australia on Bondi Beach, reports the Associated Press. That's the worst mass shooting in Australia since the Port Arthur massacre of 1996 where 35 people were killed and 23 were injured. Providentially, a bystander of Muslim background, 43-year-old Syrian fruit shop owner, Ahmed Al-Ahmed, happened on the scene. He tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen during the deadly massacre, preventing further carnage.  Ahmed was shot in the shoulder and arm while hiding behind a tree after confronting the gunman. Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is promising “tougher gun laws” in response. Actor Rob Reiner and wife allegedly killed by son Director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead Sunday, apparent victims of foul play at their home in Los Angeles, reports The L.A. Times. Sadly, Rob Reiner was an atheist, as was his father, Carl Reiner — another famous movie director.   Rob Reiner will be best remembered in the political realm for his leftist views, especially in his opposition to California's Proposition 8, and efforts to introduce homosexual marriage to the state and the country. At last report, Rob and Michele's son Nick, age 32, has been taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department, charged with the murder of his parents. He has a long history of drug addiction. Exodus 21:15 speaks to this sort of crime, as do Jesus's words in Matthew 15:4: “And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.” Little Sisters of the Poor vs. Obamacare continues After 14 years, Little Sisters of the Poor, comprised of Roman Catholic nuns, continues to object to the Obamacare mandate to provide coverage for abortifacients for their organization.    Back on July 8, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled 7–2 in favor of the Little Sisters, upholding federal rules that exempted religious organizations from the contraceptive mandate. But now, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have refused to drop their efforts to take away the Little Sisters' protection in the lower courts. Last August, a rogue federal district court in Philadelphia ruled against the Little Sisters and vacated the religious exemption rules that had protected them.  The case is in appeal to the Third Circuit Court. Bill Clinton unresponsive to Congressional subpoena over Epstein GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced he will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton. At issue is the Clintons' decision to ignore the committee's subpoenas issued back in August, in relation to investigations of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal. Epstein visited the White House 17 times in 1993 after Bill Clinton's inauguration. Artificial Intelligence: Time Magazine's “Person of the Year” Time Magazine's Person of the Year goes to Artificial Intelligence or rather, the architects of AI. Spending on Artificial Intelligence development has increased from $40 billion to $400 billion in just the last ten years.  Nvidia's stock has increased 60-fold, while Microsoft and Alphabet, Inc. have increased 7-fold over the same timeframe. Kirk Cameron advocates unbiblical theology of annihilationism Actor and Christian celebrity Kirk Cameron suggested in his recent podcast that hell is not forever — a departure from the long-held position of an eternal punishment for those who do not trust Christ, reports The Christian Post. CAMERON: “Eternal judgment or eternal punishment doesn't necessarily mean that we are being tormented and punished forever and ever, every moment for eternity. It means that the punishment we deserve is irreversible. It's permanent; it's eternal. You're dead. You've been destroyed. You have perished. You're gone, and you're never coming back.” This theological position is called annihilationism, a belief that all damned humans and fallen angels – including demons and Satan -- will be totally destroyed and their consciousness extinguished. CAMERON: “I actually think this is a really good argument for annihilationism. Just because the righteous go to eternal life, which is the gift of God, not that the wicked are granted an eternity of punishment. The punishment of the wicked is final. It is irreversible.” Rev. Al Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, called the admission “sad.” And in his words: “The admonition to confess Christ or risk non-existence just doesn't pass the New Testament test, and there is a good reason it doesn't work in a sermon either. The stakes are just too low, and the fires of hell hold no eternal consequence.” At the final judgment, as recorded in Matthew 25: 41-43, Jesus said to those on His left hand: “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' … And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Imprisoned fathers reunited with daughters at dance And finally, the “God Behind Bars” organization links local churches to prisons, and reunites families, especially children with their incarcerated parents or grandparents.   This Christmas season, the organization sponsored its first Father-Daughter Dance at the Angola Louisiana State Penitentiary.    Twenty-nine fathers were reunited with their daughters that night, many of whom had not seen their daughters for years — some over a decade. The ministry calls these events "moments of restoration … and the Gospel in motion."

Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra delivers a stark warning after the horrific terrorist massacre at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach. During a public Hanukkah celebration attended by many local Australian Jewish families, two Muslim migrants — a father and son from Pakistan — opened fire, murdering at least 16 people and wounding dozens more. It was the deadliest anti-Jewish terror attack Australia has seen in decades — and it didn't happen in a war zone, but in one of the world's most peaceful, beautiful cities. This massacre was not an isolated incident, but rather the predictable result of years of government policies allowing Jew hatred in the streets. But it wasn't just the pro-Hamas protests that brought Australia to the point of murdering Jews, lighting a menorah. It was also more universal policies, the type of politics that Canada knows all too well: • Mass, unvetted immigration from extremist regions • Political and media tolerance for open Hamas support • Laws that disarm law-abiding citizens while empowering criminals • Police and politicians who refuse to name Islamist terror for what it is Australia, like Canada, has aligned itself symbolically with Hamas, refused to crack down on extremist networks, and criminalized self-defence — leaving Jewish communities exposed and undefended. Instead of confronting Islamic extremism, Australia's leaders are already blaming “right-wing extremism” and calling for more gun control. So, we have to ask: if these conditions produced a massacre in Sydney, why wouldn't they produce one in Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa? This episode is a warning — not just for Jews, but for all Canadians, Brits, and Americans in the Western world. If a country refuses to change direction, it will eventually arrive at its destination. Listen to tonight's episode to understand what just happened in Australia — and why Canada may be closer than we think.

Abrahamic religion is being used to bring about a holy war in the name of, depending on who you ask, one God or another. The conflict between Christians and Muslims, inflamed by agents like Jake Lang, is only one part of a much larger plan that involves the psychotic and paranoid delusions of rabbinical Judaism hell-bent on destroying gentiles, even goy-Jews who dare step out of line. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the tradition. Today's Muslim world has been experiencing upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from right-wing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet.  Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides a timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith. He shows how the youngest of the three great monotheisms arose in close contact with Jewish, Christian, and other religious traditions in a mixture of cultures, including Arab, Greek, Persian, and Turkish; how Islam spread across an enormous territory encompassing hundreds of languages and cultures; how Muslims have forged widely different beliefs and practices over fourteen centuries; and how Islamic history provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates in the Muslim world. At a time when much talk about Islam is filled with misunderstanding, stereotypes, and bias, this book provides a fresh and lucid portrait of the continuous and ongoing transformations of a religion of tremendous variety and complexity.

In this episode, I break down a thwarted New Year's Eve bombing plot in Los Angeles and expose how the political right, the DOJ, the FBI, and conservative media immediately misidentified the threat. Once again, the narrative collapsed into lazy clickbait framing rather than ideological analysis.The group involved, the Turtle Island Liberation Front, was universally described by conservative outlets as a “pro-Palestinian extremist organization.” That framing is wrong. Worse, it misses the actual threat entirely.This episode explains what Turtle Island actually means, why the group openly self-identifies as Antifa, and how land-back ideology, anti-capitalism, and revolutionary communism form the real core of the movement.What the Right Got WrongThe right fixated on Palestine because it fits a pre-approved outrage narrative. Influencers, media figures, and even federal officials ignored the group's own statements, branding, and ideology in favor of tying the plot to Muslims, Israel, and foreign terrorism.That framing is inaccurate and dangerous.Turtle Island is not Palestine. It is a decolonized name for North America used in indigenous and far-left revolutionary circles. The group's messaging is explicit. They describe themselves as Antifa. They call for the overthrow of the United States. They promote anti-capitalism, land-back politics, and revolutionary dismantling of American governance.This was not subtle. The group posted it publicly.What Turtle Island Liberation Front Actually IsThis episode walks through the group's own social media, statements, and videos, which openly call for:* Death to America as a political system* Abolition of capitalism and private property* Revolutionary decolonization of North America* Replacement of the U.S. government with tribal or collective control* Alignment with Antifa and communist revolutionary movementsPalestine appears in their messaging for one reason only. It serves as a symbolic example of settler colonialism under capitalism. The same framework is applied to the United States.Palestine is a talking point. America is the target.Why This Keeps HappeningThe right does not fail to understand the far left because of lack of information. It fails because it has no incentive to understand it.Accurate analysis does not go viral. Clickbait does.So instead of confronting an openly self-declared Antifa group calling for violent revolutionary change, conservative media reframed the story into anti-Muslim hysteria, Israel discourse, and foreign terror narratives that distract from the domestic ideological reality.The result is a national security blind spot that repeats every time.The Bottom LineThis was an Antifa communist revolutionary group plotting domestic terror. They said so themselves. They documented it. They branded it.And once again, the right ignored the giant flashing sign directly in front of them.If you do not understand your enemy, you cannot defeat them. This episode shows, in real time, that the right has chosen narratives over reality, and clicks over competence.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

Pakistan's Ahmadiyya Muslim community continues to be severely and systematically persecuted by the government. The Pakistani government has enacted a series of discriminatory laws and ordinances that restrict Ahmadiyya Muslims' ability to observe their faith, including identifying as Muslim. In the first half of 2025, spikes in targeted violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistan have contributed to a growing climate of fear. Authorities have increasingly prevented Ahmadiyya Muslims from sacrificing animals during Eid and have conducted “preventative arrests” ahead of the religious holiday.  On today's episode of the USCIRF Spotlight Podcast, USCIRF Commissioner Stephen Schenck speaks with Amjad Khan, a lawyer and spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, on the current situation for Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan.With Contributions from:Veronica McCarthy, Public Affairs Specialist, USCIRF

In this first episode of a two-part series, guest host Esaa Mohammad Sabti Samarah, PhD, LMSW leads a powerful conversation examining how anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim racisms function as distinct yet interconnected systems of harm. Together with scholars and practitioners Dr. Siham Elkassem, Dr. Bryn King, Dr. Nuha Dwaikat-Shaer, and Doctoral Candidate Amilah Baksh, the discussion examines how these forms of racism operate across structural, institutional, and interpersonal levels, and how they are sustained through histories of colonialism, racialization, and political violence.The episode critically interrogates the social work profession's response to these realities, confronting the gap between professed values and practiced silence. The panel names this silence as more than inaction: it is complicity reinforced by selective empathy, professional caution, and institutional pressures that limit meaningful engagement with Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim suffering.Listeners are invited to reflect on how racism is produced and maintained within professional spaces, and how social work education and practice can either reproduce harm or become a site of resistance and transformation. Part I lays the foundation by naming the problem clearly and setting the stage for a deeper examination in Part II, Beyond Neutrality: Confronting Silence, Resistance, and a Call to Action. The second episode deepens the conversation by examining neutrality, dissent, and professional responsibility, with particular attention to the impact on youth and affected communities.This episode is essential listening for anyone committed to racial justice, human rights, and accountability within social work and allied professions.#AntiRacism #PalestinianRights #AntiMuslimRacism #AntiPalistinianRacism #AntiArabRacism #ArabAndMuslimVoices #SocialWorkJustice #ColonialismAndResistanceLinks to Published WorksElkassem, S.
