Don't miss this week's episode as Dr. Jasser returns to Reform This! As we finally approach 2024 Election Day this week, Zuhdi takes some time to clarify how hyperpoliticization of all that we hold dear is a cardinal sign of "radicalization". There is no better time than now to remind each other how important the firewalls should be between our divisions of politics but not over our family, friendships, neighbors, businesses, sports, and our faith communities to name a few. We must focus on the areas that bind us rather than the areas that divide us. Dr. Jasser also just returned from the U.K. and talks about the mass demonstrations there in the recent months and what they mean for immigration, integration, and societal discord in Europe, and the debates raging in the U.K.   Keywords: UK, Trump, Harris, election, partisanship, democracy, Islamism, Islam, Muslims, radicalization, democrats, republicans, zuhdi jasser  Learn more about your ad choices.

Zuhdi describes the "Women on the Frontlines" conference of Muslims against Hamas" led by Raheel Raza.

It is about the battle that is being waged across the planet between good and evil, modernity and medieval laws. They will be talking about this conference for decades.

In this week's episode, join Zuhdi as he looks at the real lessons learned after 100 days of war between Israel and Hamas. One would have thought that the establishment, victim obsessed, media would have learned its lesson after 100 days after the horror of October 7, 2023. But while some of the anti-semitism across the country especially in universities was finally truly unmasked, the rot apparently goes much deeper and has come back in a willful blindness with a vengeance.

As the Israeli war against Hamas rages in response to the Islamist terror of October 7 and American campuses are teaming with antisemitism, it should be more and more clear to every American citizen that free speech is in fact a cornerstone issue of the day for our nation and this generation. Dr. Jasser discusses how after the initial Israeli military response to Hamas' terror and once the terror group is defeated, one of the growing casualties between the civilized and uncivilized will be— free speech. Zuhdi discusses how the most central issue for preservation of our free society will be how we adjudicate what is and what is not free speech. Dr Jasser also looks at recent polling on support of Hamas within American Muslim communities.

He also will leave you with what this means for our nation moving forward. Last, Dr. Jasser talks about recent comments from Germany's President about Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry.

Defining our nation, our communities, our identity is the foundation upon which our entire civilization rests. If that falls, so too does everything we hold dear.

In this week's episode, Dr. Jasser discusses the significance of the riots raging through France and what it means to the brewing "clash of civilizations". Why France is again a harbinger of what's coming to the rest of the West in the battle between the Red-Green Axis and the free world on our Western streets.

In this week's episode join Dr. Jasser as he looks at the crux of the debate raging across Muslim-majority communities about whether the goal for modern society is democracy or liberty. As an American patriot, Zuhdi reminds us that there's a reason the word democracy doesn't appear in America's founding documents because the core value of modern society is liberty. We will never defeat, Islamism, and its jihad, if the goal is only democracy rather than primarily liberty. Zuhdi also revisits how this all applies to the debate over LGBTQ rights and the head-fake being done by Islamists toward the conservative right in this debate.

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he tells you why the shuttering of 50,000 of Iran's 75,000 mosques due to lack of use is one of the most favorable signs to come out of Iran in a long time. Also, American Islamist clerics recently came out with a screed against homosexuality. Zuhdi looks at why their "Navigating Differences" statement is just another supremacist theocratic position which should expose who they really are to all those on the Left and Right with blinders!

Don't miss this week's episode as Zuhdi cuts to the heart of the nexus between wokism, progressivism, and Islamism. On this Memorial Day week, as our nation honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, Dr. Jasser will explain why so many Islamists who hate America remain here? A graduating law student at CUNY Law School gave a radical speech that was peppered with disgusting hate for America, Israel, and our entire legal system and history. Fatima Mousa Mohammed, the daughter of Yemeni immigrants gave a speech, now viral, that epitomizes all that is wrong with Islamists, their movement and its synergy with all that hate our nation. It is time for every American to understand what is at stake in our war domestically and abroad against Islamists.     Keywords: anti-semitism, BDS, Israel, Palestinians, Yemen, Islamists, Memorial Day, America, patriotism, bigotry, racism, hijab, shariah, CUNY, Fatima Mohammed  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Jasser also applauds a lawsuit filed against the Minneapolis City Council about their recent passage of an ordinance exemption giving mosques a pass on their noise ordinance 5 times a day 7 days a week. Dr. Jasser explains how that exemption only serves Islamists and not larger Muslim communities and certainly not religious freedom writ large in the U.S. Similarly, in New Jersey a schoolteacher is seeking vindication from Islamists, including an Olympic athlete, Ibtihaj Muhammad, who defamed her falsely claiming that she physically attacked a student wearing a hijab and was therefore a bigot?    Keywords: artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, Zuhdi Jasser, bioethics, Minneapolis, religious freedom, Muslim brotherhood, Islamist, supremacism, Constitution, CAIR, Ibtihaj Mohammed,  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he looks at the impact and the history leading up to the likely Islamist, Humza Yousaf, heading the government of Scotland as their First Minister. Zuhdi answers how his ascendancy is emblematic of now over 15 years of identity-woke politics dominating Western societies and the loss of the social constitutional contracts that bind us and our nations. And also how the supposedly moderate nation of Bahrain is a facade. In the end, it's just another flavor of an Islamic state.    Keywords: Islamist, Islam, Muslim, Humza Yousaf, Muslim brotherhood, nationalism, wokism, Scotland, Bahrain   Learn more about your ad choices.

Zuhdi also warns us all about the threat of Islamists and their contrived platform of fighting "Islamophobia". Dr. Jasser explains all the reasons why Cong. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has no business on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The bigger story is that typical Islamist groups like CAIR have exploited his fiction and will not hold him accountable. Zuhdi asks, when will American Muslims clean their own house, and expose the corruption of Imams like Ibn Farooq who tarnish the reputation of all American Muslims? This week, Zuhdi also discusses the chaos among the leadership of the global Muslim Brotherhood and what it means to global security. Lastly, a professor at Washington University-St. Louis medical school, exemplifies, the oppressive tactics spreading through medical academia in America, with regards to the education (indoctrination) of critical race theory among students.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Dr. Jasser takes a look at the lead up to the ongoing demonstrations and growing revolution in Iran against the mullahs. Sparked by the heroism of #MahsaAmini, a tidal wave of support for the freedom of women to reject the compulsory "hijab" is spreading in Iran. Zuhdi talks about the elements of the uprising that few others are covering. Also, this week, the leading icon of Sunni Islamist ideology in the past 100 years, Yusuf Qaradawi passed last week at 96. Zuhdi talks about how revealing the condolences are that are pouring in from Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers and Islamist leaders in America. Long denied any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, their praise for the radicalism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism of Qaradawi speaks volumes.     Keywords: Iran, Mullahs, Khomeinists, Islamists, Islam, Qaradawi, Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Al Qaeda, CAIR, ISNA, Zuhdi Jasser, AIFD, Muslim Reform    Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Dr. Jasser in his discussion this week on the commemoration of the 21st anniversary of 9/11. Mainstream media claim that Muslims are having increased political clout because of Islamophobia yet the reality is due to the machinations of the Islamist movement. A recent poll from the Institute on Social Policy and Understanding interestingly finds that American Muslims are disproportionately more “Islamophobic” than most other faiths.

This week Dr. Jasser looks at the Islamist terror attack and assassination attempt against Salman Rushdie. He will answer questions very few have addressed. What in God's name will it take to get the West unsettled? How this attack in more ways than one demonstrates how miserably the West has let its guard down. Why free speech is central battlefront against political Islam and its global jihad. How do the domestic and global military and theological fronts in the war of ideas against Islamists in Iran all come to head in what happened to Sir Salman Rushdie. Why does France put Britain and the rest of the West to shame in how they have finally confronted Islamism. Zuhdi also looks at CAIR's loss in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in its efforts to muzzle and punish a professor of politics and terrorism at Scottsdale Community College. Why should all anti-jihadist activists be unsettled by the attack and its muted fallout?   Keywords: Salman Rushdie, Iran, Khomeini, Fatwa, Hadi Matar, free speech, terrorism, Islamism, political Islam, Islamists, liberty, CAIR, AIFD, Zuhdi Jasser, terrorism Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he commemorates his favorite holiday, July 4th! The birth of the freest nation on earth is not only a blessing but a time to reflect on what we need to do to keep it. Why are immigrants often the most clear-minded about the greatness that is America? Zuhdi also looks at why the retreat of democracy in Tunisia under Kais Saied is a moment to reflect on the fact that only way out of the bipolar authoritarian Arab world of Arab fascism and Islamism is through real secular liberal reform against theocracy and for liberty. If Tunisia's whiplash from one tyrannical idea to the other teaches us nothing, it teaches us that modernity will never be realized without real anti-Islamist, pro-liberty reforms.

In this week's podcast, Dr. Jasser reflects on Father's Day and patriotism. He then looks at the recent New York Times' use of ADL hate crime and terror data which obsessed on and exaggerated terror by white supremacists while long ignoring terror by Islamists. Zuhdi then takes a deep look at why Jewish communities, organizations and their leadership must set the standard in who to partner with in order to counter Islamist supremacism. If they did, they would partner with Muslim reformers rather than Islamists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he looks at a single Iranian dissident, Faezeh Rafsanjani, who may best herald the weakening of the Islamic Republic's regime. When family members of Past-Presidents are empowered to take on the terror organization of the IRGC, times are changing despite the fecklessness and appeasement of the Biden administration. Zuhdi also asks what exactly is the Biden Doctrine in the Middle East and across the world with regards to foreign policy. Michael Doran got it right- it is a “American Unexceptionalism”.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Jasser takes a look at the kerfuffle at Geico, America's second largest auto insurance company, over booking the radical anti-semite and separatist Islamist- Linda Sarsour - to speak to their employees about Middle Eastern and North African Heritage. After the organizers finally did a little research on her, they realized how extreme her ideas and activism was and how little she understood about actual diversity within Arab, Muslim, and other minority communities. Also, Zuhdi talks about how two foreign agents for Iran were recently indicted on charges of impersonating federal agents in DHS compromising many agents including the Secret Service in an operation that likely included espionage and yet unknown what target(s)---a stark reminder that the Islamist threat still looms large.

This week Dr. Jasser reflects on the beginning of Ramadan and also looks at why jihadists from Chechnya would fight with Russia against Ukraine. Zuhdi answers the question: what's in it for them? The Red-Green axis joins in their mutual belligerence. It's inescapable that our American military is being infused by the divisive cultural battles and fractionation seen across the country. Dr. Jasser looks at the growing outrage over the collapse of foundations of values and honor at our military academies and force readiness programs.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, Phil and Zuhdi speak with actors Raffi Barsoumian and Nadia Bowers (who previously appeared in CSC's Macbeth) about the works of playwright Rajiv Joseph and why he may be considered a classic writer in the coming years.

This week, as the war crisis in Ukraine evolves and the Russian invasion advances, Dr. Jasser covers the lessons about Russian belligerents that Syrians have long understood. Why a Cold War with the Russians is necessary and the only approach for the free world against regimes like Putin's Russia and Xi's China. Also Phil Mickelson finds himself in hot water with the PGA and many of his sponsors as he dropped some truth bombs about Saudi Arabia in a recent interview. Zuhdi talks about why Phil is merely a tool in the bigger story which is about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's financial infiltration into American golf and sports. Learn more about your ad choices.

It isn't just the case of Aafia Siddiqui aka “Lady Al Qaeda” that is bizarrely radically supported by so called mainstream American Islamist groups, but there been a long series of radical cases including Tariq Mahanna (now serving 17 years since 2012), Imam Luqman, and Cop-Killer Jamal Amin to name a few. Zuhdi looks at the commonalities in these cases and also the larger phenomena that defines Islamist groups who through conspiracy theories support these radicals as martyrs as they also use their narrative to denigrate American institutions. Dr. Jasser also takes a critical look at the odd continued popularity of the radical come counter-terror expert. These “former Islamist radicals” add a great deal to the discourse but when it comes to role models and public leadership, American Muslim communities are generally ill-served by lifting high up, those former radicals regardless of how enamouring is their story of metamorphosis. There is no doubt that patriotic American Muslims should be able to do a lot better than the often convenient former radical when it comes to causes for justice and certainly with our role models patriotic anti-Islamist leadership.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Before this weekend many Americans hadn't heard of Aafia Siddiqui and Zuhdi explains why if we are to ever defeat Jihad we should understand why militants and radicals like Alfiah Siddiqui become cause celebre for so-called mainstream Islamic groups that want to thrive on conspiracy theories and separatism.

In this first podcast of 2022, Dr. Jasser looks at how the editors at the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) shamelessly genuflected to fundamentalist Islamists after a concerned pediatric surgeon, Dr. Sherif Emil, wrote a letter to the editor shedding light on the dangers of the mixed messages coming from their cover photo of a child in a hijab. Also, Zuhdi asks how the preeminent and usually brilliant Jordan Peterson could give a platform to Islamist apologists? Is he really that tone deaf about Islamism?

Listen to Dr. Jasser report on why the Senate passage of the un-American House Bill supposedly the “Combatting International Islamophobia Act” will actually institutionalize the global Islamist movement inside the United States government and our foreign policy apparatus at the State Department. This Act, if passed by the Senate and signed by President Biden, will weaponize the racialization of the faith of Islam and its Islamist Establishment leaders across the world. It will also incredulously enshrine in the U.S. government the defense of Islamist blasphemy laws. Don't miss this episode as Zuhdi explains how the Democrat party of today has become the party of Islamists, for Islamists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
