This is a subject I do not like to talk about. I wish there was someone else to talk about it, but you got an amazing pastor. Jack Gibbs is doing things that I wish all pastors would do. He's actually taking on a lot of the political material, a lot of the political problems, and he's actually tackling them head on. You have an amazing pastor. Let's give him a hand. Applause So he asked me to come and help him out tonight. He's not here tonight. And he said, would you actually talk about what Islam is doing politically here in the United States? So I'm going to be looking at five people. I'm going to look at Mamdani, Al-Said, Rasid al-Talib, Ilhan Omar, Omar, and also Dr. Yasir Kari. I'm not going to say what their gender is, what they're doing, and what you need to be aware of, and what's going on from a theological standpoint.

And then I'm going to apply it by looking at Iran as to what's happening in Iran right now. Why are we in Iran, of all places? I'm going to show you and apply what they're doing here. They're also doing in Iran, but not just Iran, they're also doing in Nigeria. They have just done it in other parts of the world. In fact, when you look at much of the Middle East today, it used to be Christian. But look at it today. It's all become Muslim. It's all become Islamic, why? Because of the same playbook that they've been using for the last 1400 years, they're using it today as well. And it's starting to come to America. So you need to be aware of what that playbook is, and that's what we're going to talk about tonight. So let's get right into it. Looking at political Islam in America, I've been told that I have way too much material on every slide. I'm sorry, this is how my students like it. So you can have the slides. It's there on the computer. Don't worry about getting it from me. Don't take pictures of every slide. Just go and ask them for the whole PowerPoint. It's for you to use. That's only for the people here.

Those who are watching, you cannot get it. I get this all the time. Jai, you promise we can have the PowerPoint? No, that's only for the people who came tonight. Here we go. Now, to understand Islam, we need to know how we can go on the offense. And for those of you who have probably gone to any symposium or been taught about Islam in your schools or your Bible schools or your seminaries, you've been told that you do not confront Islam. You've been told to really love people into the kingdom. You've been told to have peace and reconciliation. Am I correct? Just say yes. That's all that we're taught. That's called the Irenical approach. And you have to do that. Don't stop doing that. Please don't stop doing that. You've got to use the Irenical approach. But there's some of you that need to go on the offense. The Irenical approach, and what we talk about that, we use the word apologetics. And apologetics is to defend the gospel. And all of our disciples use the apologetics. Jesus used the apologetics. But when the Muslims confront us,

especially on the person of Jesus Christ and on the authority of our scriptures, you've got to defend against that. But then you've also got to take the same questions and apply it back to Islam. And you've got to confront their man in their book. And that we're not teaching because that's called polemics. How many of you even know what that word was before tonight? A few hands. That's the problem. We don't know what that word is. And yet that's exactly what Paul did. Everywhere Paul went to, in Leodicea, in Cappadocia, in Bria, there in Ephesus every city he went into, he didn't create a relationship with the people he was going to engage with. He probably didn't even know the names of the people he was going to talk to. He went right into the synagogues, uninvited, and he confronted the Pharisees with what they had done to the Messiah. Now that's called polemics, going on the offense. And he got thrown into prison. He was whipped twice. They tried to stone him to death. Caused a riot in there in Ephesus and they finally killed him in Rome.

And that's what happens when you go on the offense, especially with Islam. And that's why we don't teach it in any of our schools. We're the only ones that teach it, right? We have a mass of arts and apologetics and polemics to Islam. So we do teach it, but we're the only ones that dare do that. And the reason why we do that is because we're at Veritas International University, which is your seminary. That is the seminary for all the Calvary Chapples. Did you all know that? You've got your own seminary. Pat yourself on the back. And we are the ones that do all the Islamic work there. And so because of that, we have to come up with three different categories of polemics. And I'll be talking about all three of them on Sunday. Each one of them I'm going to use for each service. So I've got to have a totally different talk, each one of the three services. I told Jack I was going to do that and he says, okay, that means we're going to keep cars here the whole time. Bless you. 10,000 people here. How are you going to do it in a venue that only seats 2,400?

He says we have enough, a lot of places out in the back. Internal polemics is what I'm going to introduce on the first service. Now internal polemics is just taking the Quran, opening it up, reading what's on the pages, and then confronting what's in the book. Looking at Muhammad, looking at his life, looking to see what he did during his life between six, especially between 610 and 632, and confronting the man. That's called internal polemics. And that's what most of us do. Most of us have been trained. I did that for over 30 years. Beth and I used to do that on the ladder every week. That's called internal polemics. Then there's a second form of polemics, and that's called cultural polemics. Cultural polemics look at Islam around the world today and confronts it and says, hold on a minute. Look at how you're dressing your women. Look at how you eat, walk, talk. Look at how you're doing all this, and look how irrelevant that is for today. You come to America and you bring your culture with you. Leave your culture back there. You assimilate when you come to this country. You become American. So that's called cultural polemics.

And some of what I'm going to do tonight is from that area, especially the political part. And then the third one is one that I'm probably more famous for, and this is the historical polemics or the external polemics. And this is what Dan and I, we do. And that is not even opening the Quran. We don't waste our time opening the book. We don't look at Muhammad. Why would you want to open and talk about a man that didn't even exist? If he didn't exist, what a waste of time. If the book was not even there in the seventh century, then we need to find out when this book was put together, where it comes from, and where did they borrow it from? Wait till you find out. But that's Sunday. You have to wait till Sunday to find out what we now know. And that is always evolving and changing and moving because there's so much new material coming into this third form. It's brand new. It's very exciting, very controversial, and very damaging, because it hits at the very foundations of Islam historically. Now tonight we're going to look at the public politics, the second-wide area of cultural polemics.

And specifically, we're going to look and see what it does and what they're doing in the United States and looking at Iran as an application of that. So let's start with our introduction. And to do this, I want to tell you what we're, basically I want to show you what we're up against, because for those of you who don't know much about Islam, I want to give you some cultural grids that we need to be aware of. Many of you probably have Muslim friends, you have somebody on your street that's a Muslim, maybe someone you're working with, maybe someone you're at school with. And you look at them and they say, well, they're perfectly fine. They're just like you and me. And that's true. They are perfectly fine. But the vast majority of Muslims have a completely different cultural grid than we do. Let me explain what I'm talking about. And this comes from Dr. Sam Solomon, a good friend of Bethanar. I don't know if you knew him as well. But he was a good friend of ours for many years. He just died last year. He used to come from, of course, he was a Muslim at one point. He had memorized the Quran in Arabic and in English and in Urdu. He was head of all the Islamic courts in Pakistan for nine years

before he met the Lord. And I'm coming out of Islam. He understands Islam party probably better than anybody else I know. And he said, when you look at the world today, let's start from the Westerner standpoint. As Westerners, we look at life in the big circle there. So everything is involved with our life. And our religious experience is very small. I'm not saying this church. This is not represent this church. I'm talking about most Christians here in the United States. What they do Monday through Saturday, it doesn't really change or impact upon their life. It's only Sunday that they come to church and maybe for only two hours in that morning. So religion is a very small part of their lives. And that's the case for most Americans. That's certainly the case for most Europeans. Islam, however, looks at a completely different. As a Muslim, they look at all of life as impacted by religion. So how they walk talk, eat, drink, sleep is impacted by what the Prophet did, what he did you did, what the Prophet said you say. And so their whole life is impacted by Islam.

And the other small life of those who are in an Islamic context is a very small area that they don't really care about that part, those people who were there. And what they do and what they're supposed to do is they're in supposed to impact on those who are not part of Islam and make them Muslims. Now that's the idea of trying to understand we're talking about two different paradigms, two different cultural grids between Westerners and Muslims. But it goes even deeper than that. What about Muslims that are here who've come from over there, they're now here in California. They're now here in Chino, Chino Hills. Muslims, everything they do is part of their religion. But for those Muslims that come here to the West, for those who come into our experience, they come with a whole other culture grid. And that is they look at the world in two different spheres. And for a Muslim, whenever they're in their own culture, when they're in their own country, when they're in their own community, when they're even within their own family,

they are in what they call Dar al Islam, which means house of Islam. That's what it means in Arabic. So they're in the house of Islam. But when they leave their country or their community, or even when they leave their family and come to Chino here, they then come into what they call Dar al Harb. Dar al Harb means house of war. That's exactly what it means. So when they come to the West, they're in the context of war. What happens when we go to war? And you're behind enemy lines. You can lie and cheat and do anything you want, can't you? And so they see United States as that. So many Muslims that are here, you will find that they'll say one thing to you in English. But then when you hear them in their own family, in Urdu or in Arabic or in other languages, they'll say something completely different. Maybe some of you know Yassad Arifat. Membran Yassad Arifat, who used to say something for the television cameras in English. Oh, yes, we have no problem with the two party system,

two state system for Israel. Yes, we believe in peace. Yes, we believe anything you want us to believe in English, but as soon as you went back to Ramallah in Arabic, he'd say something completely different. That is this idea of Dar al Islam and Dar al Harb. So when they come to the House of War, then they pretty much can say anything you want to hear. And they do say anything you want to hear. Now those who are in the West, they're small, that's true. They are very small to begin with, and they're not very big. But the reason they've come to the West is to make Dar al Harb into Dar al Islam. So the whole premise of coming here is to make this, which is the House of War, into the House of Islam. Are you following that? Now most people don't notice about that, and this is why it was so good to re-doctosoloman to help me with that. But now I see examples of that everywhere I go. And that's why we need to be careful that many of the people that we see, many of the people I hear all the time, my green grocer down the street, he's the nicest man I've ever met, and of course he's nice.

He has to be nice. And thank God he is nice. But be aware of the fact that he may not, that may be nothing more than bringing you into Dar al Islam. So I'm gonna show you some maps before I go on. When you look at the world today, look at that map down, the breakdown of the world's religion. Notice where Islam is, which is in green. Notice it's between what we call the 1040 window, the 10th and the 40th parallel. That's the area of the world that's the least reached, where the gospel is the least. And it's almost completely dominated by Islam. Because of the fact they are probably the hardest people to engage the gospel with. Because of these views, these cultural views, and their view of Dar al Islam and Dar al Harb. Now when you look at a map, and most people when they look at maps of where Islam is, they usually show you maps like this, which suggests to you, as you look at that, that most Muslims are in North Africa in the Middle East. Am I correct? So it's such suggests to me also that most Muslims speak Arabic,

because those are all Arabic-speaking countries, aren't they? But that's a lie. That's not where the Muslims are. In fact, only 15% of all Muslims live in those countries. They're in dark green. Only 15% of Muslims speak Arabic. The vast majority do not come from those countries. Because when you see that map, that is the percentage of those countries that is Islamic. And the percentage of your right, they've taken over every one of those countries. Look at those countries. Most of them were Christian at one time. How is it that they all become Muslims? And Islamic in just 1400 years. So when you want to look at a map, look at this map. This is the total population of Muslims. Notice now where the dark green is. It's not in Middle East. Where is it? It's in Asia. So when you look at NSNA circular diagram,

notice how much bigger Asia-Pacific Muslims are than Middle East. Almost a billion in that part of the world. And those four countries are the four largest Muslim countries in the world. Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Notice none of them speak Arabic. None of those four countries speak Arabic. I grew up in India. I was surrounded by Muslims all my life. I have no fear of Islam. I hold on a minute. I do have a fear of Islam. I have no fear of Muslims. Do you see what I'm making it sanction of? I am absolutely Islamophobic. I am absolutely Islamophobic. I am phobic about Islam, but I love the Muslims. But I love the Muslims. And I make a distinction because it's what Islam is doing to those Muslims that's creating the problems that we see around the world. And I want to stop Islam from doing this. Because I love these people. They're my favorite people. I spent 45 years working with these people

because I love them that much. Especially in India, where my parents are, my grandparents are, I'm third generation of India. I should add through that Nigeria. See Nigeria there? That is the fifth largest Muslim country with 107 million Muslims. So let's put it down. Put them up in the look at the numbers. Worldwide, there's almost two billion Muslims. They are going to surpass Christianity as the largest religion in, and possibly 25 years. So we can no longer say that they're over there. They're now very much over here. The largest would be Indonesia with 240 million, India with 220 million, Pakistan with 210 million, Bangladesh, 185 million, and then Nigeria, 107 million. None of them speak Arabic. Yet all of our misiology and everything we've been taught about how to engage with Muslims has been only the Arab-speaking world. Have you noticed that? We've got to retool folks, and we've got to realize what we're up against. 962 million non-Arab-speaking Muslims,

more than half the Muslim world, and our tactics and strategies must reflect this. So when you look at the world today, just look at where that red area is. The red regions are the largest populated areas of the world, and that's also where the largest number of Muslims are. There's a paragraph, and you can see that. Look at this here. That's the area that's Arab-speaking that I have in green. But the population of Muslims is much bigger. And when you talk about misologically speaking, we need to change our misiology to reflect the much larger 85% of the Muslim world, which is much more confrontational and much more polemical. That's why we're trying to get people engaged, because by far, the ones who are attacking Christianity are not the Arabs. Look at all the names, Anand Rashid, Mansur Rahman, Ahmad Didat, Zakir Naik, Shabir Ali. These are none of them are from the Arab-speaking world. And those are the guys I have to debate. They're the ones that I've debated. I've had over 100 debates with these men back in the 1990s and the early 2000s.

And they do speak Arabic, but tertiary. They only speak memorized parts of the scripture. They do everything in English. And that's why we can engage with them so much clearly, and quicker. Now, here's the problem. Historically, Muslims have always pushed for domination in four areas. They have not done missionary work like we do missionary work. We go in and we engage face to face, and people voluntarily accept Christ. That's now how Islam has done for 1400 years. They always start with politics. They always go politically speaking. This has happened in Syria. This has happened in Jordan. This has happened in Lebanon. This has happened in what is today Iran and Iraq. In almost every one of those countries, which were Christian countries, they always took over the political structures. Once they got the political structures, then they took over the judiciary. Using their political cloud to then introduce shadi al-Az and institutions. Once they get shadi al-Az in their folks, then they then take over the military. Once they have the political structure in judiciary, they can easily control the military

and then quash any domestic descent and then they go to education. Introducing Islamic only education. Notice, none of these three have anything to do with missionary activity that we would define as missionary activity. That's why we completely forget. We don't see. We don't aren't aware of what's happening all around us. With these four areas of power, they can then impose themselves on others. Look at Nigeria today. I have to go to Nigeria every year. I'll be there next month. And I go there every year in the last five years because we are losing Nigeria to Islam. It's the largest country in Africa, 220 million. It has the largest Muslim population in Africa, 107 million Muslims. And they are now taking over politically. They now control the presidency. They also control the prime minister. Most of the states now have Muslim governors. They're taking over the judiciary. They're now introducing Islamic law. There are nine different articles that have been introduced into the Constitution

of Nigeria and that Christian church didn't even know this was happening. And we're saying, have you looked and seen what you're allowing, what you're bringing in? So we're helping them to stop this and to actually get the Christian church back up and using its cloud and using its energy. Once they have these four areas apart, then they can dictate morality, constraints on dress, food, music, drink, and lifestyle, also marriage and prosperity, a promiscuity that can also then impose constraints on our freedom of speech. Freedom of, to evangelize, freedom even to a movement, freedom of assembly and education and financial freedoms. Every one of these freedoms has now been eradicated from Muslim countries around the world. And then of course, they then control their foreign policy, aligning themselves alongside other Muslim countries to vote and then impose their views of Shadi al-A'u Worldwide, including here in the United States. We'll get to that. Hold on to that. In fact, let's do that right now. Let's bring it home. What about what's happening here in America?

Let's bring it to what we're dealing with right now. And let's start with this fellow right here. Zoran Mandani. Who is Zoran Mandani? Well, he's an Indian-American Shia Muslim born in Kampali, Uganda in 1991 and then he moved to South Africa when he was five and then finally moved to New York when he was seven. He is the first Muslim and the first Asian mayor of New York. His father, Mahmoud Mandani, was an academic born in India but raised in Uganda. His mother, Rama, Duaji, is Texas born woman of Syrian Muslim parentage. Thus his parental background of left-progressivism influences ideology more than his religion. And most, to our all practical purpose, he looks like a leftist, more than a Muslim. And you'll see that in the things he says. Yet his initial victory in the Democratic Party owed much to people of his own religious and cultural demographic who are ideologically close to the squad, as you know, of the democratic social of America.

His victory also was a result of changing demographics, not least the upsurge in Muslim numbers in New York City, estimated at now 1 million. In fact, there are now more Muslims in New York than there are Jews. Due to a combination of immigration and reproduction levels, usually higher for Muslims than other groups, isn't it right, Beth, that in Britain, an average woman has two and a half children? How she does that, I don't know. But the average Muslim woman has 4.2 doubled the national average. And this is, I don't even Britain, it's all over the world that this is happening. Then we have Rashid Aliyab, the light from Michigan. She was born in 1976 in Detroit. She was born, daughter of Palestinian immigrants. The eldest of 14 children, nicknamed Mama Bariff by colleagues, and she likes to help disenfranchise people. And she's known for this. She does have a very ironic side to her. She is a member of the leftist congressional group known as the squad, who supports abortion, now notice a Muslim supporting abortion,

absolutely in Athens and Islam. She supports the LGBT community, and supports the LGBT agenda again, anathema in Islam, and believes that Allah could be a woman, again, anathema in Islam. And consider herself as an Arab-American leftist. She was the first Muslim woman, every elected to the Michigan Legislator, one of the first two Muslim women in the US Congress. The first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress who supports the one state solution for Palestine and has been very vocal on Palestinian rights, for understandably because she herself is Palestinian. But Ilham Omar is not Palestinian. She is from Minneapolis and she is from Somalia. Born in 1982 in the capital of Somalia Mogadishif to a very wealthy family, her family fled the country's civil war when she was eight and spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to the United States in the 1990s. Interestingly, sponsored by the Lutheran Church. In 1997, she then moved to Minneapolis.

Now, here is a real problem with her marriages, or yes. You've probably heard this all over the news, and here's what we can find, and this is at least what I can say tonight. She has been married Islamically, and that's how she gets around these marriage laws. Which means you can just be married, go to the mosque, and as long as you are married by the Imam, you can be divorced just as easily, just by the man saying, Talaq, Talaq, Talaq, three times. So she was married Islamically to Ahmad al-Disalan, Hirsi in 2002, had two children through him, but then split up in 2008 and married another man named Ahmad Nur, Saeed Elmi. But then split up with him in 2011, but not divorced, and filed joint tax returns with Hirsi, and had a third child while she was supposedly still married with Ahmad Nur, a Saeed Elmi. You see the problem there. That's big of me. Then officially divorced Elmi in 2017 and Hirsi in 2019, so that this would not be a problem. Now when I asked why, how is it she can do this,

and is this not illegal, she says, hold on a minute, I was married and divorced Islamically. So they're already applying Allah within the law. Can you see how easy that is? She supports abortion again, an Al-Tamani Islam, an Al-Jipati agenda, while wearing a hijab, and claiming to be a strong Muslim while criticizing Wahabism, Saudi Arabian Wahabism. She's a strong supporter of Palestine, and backs the boycott, divestment, and sanctions group. That's a BDS known as BDS, and wants to see the Minneapolis Police Department completely disbanded, and be placed with who knows what. It follows that like her colleague, Dalayb, and Omar is more a leftist activist than a traditional Muslim or an Islamist. And then let's go to Abdurahman Muhammad El-Said, out of Dearborn Michigan, who just won his primaries a few weeks ago. Remember what happened the very next day when he was interviewed? He said, I want you to pronounce my name, Abdurahman Muhammad El-Said. I want you to pronounce it, and if you cannot pronounce it, then why should I pay attention to you?

What does that tell you? What does that tell you? Born in Michigan of Egyptian parents, so he is born here, which means he could become the President of the United States. But raised by his father in U.S. Stepmother, who became a convert, she's an American, with a, she has two PhDs, one of the doctorate philosophy in public health from Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, and then also has a MD in medicine from Columbia University. And he decided to go into medicine because of what he saw in the Quran in chapter 5, verse 32. He who takes it, or he says, oh children of Israel, if he who takes the blood of one, it's if he takes the blood of all. So if you take the blood of a Muslim, you take the blood of all Muslims. Therefore, it says, he who saves the blood of all, saves the blood of one Muslim, you're saving the blood of all Muslims. That's the verse chapter 5, verse 32, that he took as his dictum to go into medicine. So he's a strong Muslim.

He actually uses the Quran for his support. He did a speech a number of years ago in 2007, Bill Clinton was out to speech, saw the ability of this man. He's a great orator, he's a great speech maker. And so he just said, why don't you go into politics, we need your kind in politics. That happened in 2007. He again supports abortion and the LGBT agenda. He wants to abolish ICE and limit the Supreme Court and supports Palestine, with hostility towards Israel and Saudi Arabian mohabism. And then he supports Saudi al-A'ah. A number of weeks ago, he did an interview on Fox News. And the question was asked, why do you support Saudi al-A'ah? And he says, hold on a minute, you have canon law. If you have canon law, why can't we have Saudi al-A'ah? Without realizing that canon law only works for those who are part of the canon, who are part of that denomination. So you have the Anglicans who have canon law, you have the Piscopelians who have canon law. But it only belongs, it only has a reflection on Piscopelians and Anglicans, not outside of which Islamic law has authority on everybody.

Remember, once you take over politically, then you introduce Saudi al-A'ah. That imposes itself on everybody, minority and majority alike. Muslim and non-Muslim alike. He completely misconstrued the two. He's a very strong Muslim who demands people say his full name and finds Muhammad a man of impeccable character. Ooh, t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t. Boy, I could go a whole hour on just that one. No time. Let's go to this man here. This is the man by far who I think is the most dangerous. Two weeks ago, I was in Dallas helping the church and many of the, many of the businessmen to realize what they're up against in Dallas. This is Dr. Yasad Kari from Dallas, Texas. From Pakistan, born and grew up here, though not a politician yet, I'm sorry, he didn't, he wasn't born here. It's by far the most dangerous, I think of all of them, even though he's not a politician yet. Because he is the only one that I know that has both degrees from both camps. He has a, the highest degree you can get from Medina University

on the Hadith Sciences. And he also has a PhD from Yale University on historical criticism, primarily on Ibn Taimia. So he has been in both camps. Has the highest degree you can get in both Western and Eastern academia. That's why he's dangerous. Because he understands the weaknesses and the power of both. His father, Dr. Mazar Khazi, biologist and religious teacher from the Malduri Jammat Islami, Jammat Islami from Malduri. Most of you don't know what I'm talking about, but I know what I'm talking about because this is the guy that's from India that actually immigrated in the 1940s at partition to go into Pakistan and started all these madrasas there. These madrasas, who we understand that up today, 1.7 million of these Taliban, these students, are graduating from these madrasas there in northern Pakistan. And they were the ones that became the Taliban, you know what the Taliban did and what they're doing today. So we're talking about a very radical form of Islam that he was born

with and came out of. He himself used to be a salafi, but he is now left salafism. He was born in Houston, so he was born in the States in 1975. Between 1995 and 1965, but that can't be right, it's called 1965 to 1995, boy, that's a typo. Alistair, you didn't pick that up. Studied in the Islamic University of Medina, where you get the highest degree you can get, got a deployment Arabic, a BA in Hadith Sciences, and an MA in Islamic theology, and then finished his PhD in Yale under studying Ibn Tayyid Meeh. Now, his dean is dean of the Islamic Seminary of America and a scholar of the epic center. What is the epic center? East Plato Islamic Center. How many people have heard of this? I want to see many hands in the next time I come speak, because that is the center that is their model for United States. It's there in Northeast Dallas, and they want to use this as what they want to do for the rest of America. So he is the one that is a scholar for that center.

Now, he is absolutely against the LGBT agenda. Are you following this? He is absolutely against abortion, which is exactly what he should be as if he's a good Muslim. He used to be a salafi, but he's moved away from salafism. The salafism are the radical form, those who come from the companions of the prophet themselves. And so that's why he has moved away from salafism and is moved into Wasatia, which is a moderate viewpoint, of a balance of moderation, balance, and justice, is what they believe. Looking for a middle path between the two extremes which seek interaction and integration with the West. So the salafis over here on the right want to go back to the prophet's example and want to walk talk, eat, drink, sleep, as exactly why he did if between 610 and 632, when he was there in Mecha Medina. He now is on this side, you have the very liberal Islam over here on the left, who are trying to walk away from Islam. They're coming to the West trying to get away from these strictures of Islam and to try to sanitize Islam for you and me.

Now he's in between these two camps, and that's what the Wasatia are, and he is one of the primary spokesman for them. Because of his importance to Islam in the USA, I'm going to spend a little bit more time on him, because he is the one that's actually explaining it better than anybody else. And he says these are his quotes. The power of a united Islamic influence is what we desire. In other words, as a group, Muslims are a minority, can influence other Muslims at every level. He said, advancing the Islamic gender in every area of power is what we seek here in the United States. So he says we need to be involved in the government, we need to be involved in the Pentagon, we need to be involved in the FBI and the CIA, because Muslims have the correct morality, unlike Americans. So this is from him, he's saying this. Because of the high Muslim birth rate, almost double the national average, and we don't have a majority of people within one generation. What he calls the halal secret weapon, that's what he gives a name to it. This is a similar statement made by Moam Ar-Kaddafi a number of years ago before he was killed.

It suggests that they are not interested in persuading people of the superiority or even the truth of Islam, like we do with Christianity. And that's what we do in missionary work, as they believe Islam will be simply be brought about by sheer numbers. I'm taking over the four areas of power. Sharia, he says, is and will be supreme overall. He's looking at chapter 5 verse 44 and 47. The idea that Sharia is Allah's prime rule for mankind, and if you follow any other system of law above it, you reject your faith. If you judge by anything other than that which comes from Allah, you have negated your faith as a disbeliever. The reason is because societies will come and go, but Allah dictates our eternal for everyone, everywhere, and I would add for a whole time. What we do in the next 30 years, he says, will dictate Islam for the next 300 years in USA. So, Qaddi believes that this is the first generation which will lay the foundations for the next 300 years in academia and for the preservation of Islam by building schools and mosques

and seminaries and institutes and mosques all over the United States to bring about an Islamic success. He believes the USA is an empty slate. So this is the best place where this can be done. Are you listening to this? Are you paying attention? This is happening now, they're in Dallas, Texas. He says, take the best of Islam and instead of 100 houses with Epic 1, that's the first, a connebration, make it 1,000 houses with Epic 2, now they're starting Epic 2 in Dallas. Rather than just one mosjid, make it a magnificent complex with purpose-built complexes rather than a subdivision vision an entire city and advertise it to the entire continent right here in Dallas. This will be an opportunity for the American Dahwa Si. Dahwa is really their word for misiology, what they call to invite. He believes that what is already there will go be so much better than the second time around just because it is bigger. And then he talked about Mamdani, who she should have been criticizing

for everything Mamdani stands for, but he said Mamdani is a monumental victory for the Umah, a game changer. Note Mamdani is a Shi'ai, he's pro LGBT, he supports abortion, and he's very much a communist, all of which Kadi would reject, but he is willing to forego such trivialities in order to get Muslims into power. We start small, he says, and agree with those whom we support until we gain power, until they get to 51%. Then they could take over the Democratic Party for themselves using the opposition as useful idiots. No, while the first four Muslim politicians, Mamdani, Taleb, Said, and Umar, all support abortion and else at the LGBT agenda, not of which are Islamic. There is a traditional immigrant story punctuated with victimhood, which the left thrives on.

They always support and use their victimization, so that with so much quick success as they've been getting in the last few elections in the last few years, that their time, they believe, has come allowing them the freedom to assert themselves. That's why they want to them impose their views. Demographic changes as various urban areas of the US and the growth of left progressive element among the Democratic Party now offers a welcome back to them, not least on issues, such as Palestine since 2023, and they run with the Palestinian issue in the last three years. Here's the irony, Muslims are generally social conservatives, very similar to us, whose values are much more in keeping with the conservative Republican Party, yet some believe that if the latter, the Republican Party, would take on policies on the Middle East and change those policies, particularly concerning Israel and Palestine, in no way it's flipped it to, it is likely that a major major defection of Muslims to the GOP could take place. Please don't, but you can see why

some are suggesting that. Dr. Kadi, however, is not concerned necessary with the non-Islamic beliefs of the current Muslim politicians, since he's looking at the long goal, a slowly attaining power by demanding Muslims vote as a block in order to control US politics, coupled with a judiciary, education, and finally the military, a tried-and-proven common practice that has been used for the last 1400 years. So what will happen if or when the Democrats do come to power on the coattails of these strong and energetic Muslims, and they then turn on them once they have 51 percent? Are you ready for that? Kadi, possibly the dominant and future theologian for Muslims in the US, and some believe even for modern Muslims, modern Muslims worldwide, may not be a salafis anymore, but he is still very conservative and is completely dependent on the Quran and Muhammad for his model. And we know where that model leads and how to defeat them. That's why

this conference this next weekend is absolutely important, because we're going to show you how to confront and defeat that model. So let's now apply this model to the current problem. Let's talk about Iran. And Jack asked me if I would apply this to Iran. Let's see why Iran is so special and why it's unique. So let's look at the Iranian conflict. I'm probably going to step on some toes of people who are watching. I may even step on some of your toes here. Bear with me. We need to look and see what's going on theologically to understand really what's happening in Iran. So let's do that. And do that. We need to look at some history. We need to look back and see what's going on. Let's start with the Middle East in the 21st century. Let's look at right now. From a Sunni perspective, remember that 90% of the Muslim world is Sunni. Only 10% is Shia. So the vast majority of Muslims are Sunni. The only Shia countries that we can talk about are Iran, southern part of Iraq, Bahrain over here to the West, then on going over to the east, the southern

part of Afghanistan and the southern part of Pakistan. That's it. The rest of the Muslim world is Sunni. Now there are pockets of Shias in every country. There are also pockets of Shia ism here in United States. Now from a Muslim perspective, which make up 10%. I'm sorry, let's see. What's the difference between these two? The Sunnis believe that the mantle of the prophet can be on anybody who is part of the Ulema. That means anybody who is a religious leader. So anybody can take on the mantle of the prophet, can have authority over the caliphate. The Shias, however, believe that only someone in the line of the prophet can take on that mantle. So it has to come from Ali who is the cousin of Muhammad, who is also the son-of-law of Muhammad, and then Hussein who comes after that, and then the other 12 imams that come after that. So they have a completely different view of government, completely different view of authority, and that's where the problem lies, as you're going to see. If you look at the 21st century, historical events which we are not paying attention to, notice,

who has been creating most of the violence in the Middle East in the 21st century? Well, I can name them. Al-Qaeda, Sunni, ISIS, Sunni, Boko Haram, Al-Sabaab, Lascari Taiba. So Al-Qaeda, which was in Sudan, and now has moved to Afghanistan, ISIS, which was in Syria and Iraq, Boko Haram, Nigeria, Al-Sabaab, that would be Mogadishu, and that part of Somalia. Lascari Taiba, Pakistan, and the Tabligh Ahmad, which used to be in India now is in Pakistan. There's others. These are the major groups. Note that these are all Sunni groups, and also, most at the time, believed in using violence to eradicate non-Muslims and their beliefs, which would bring about peace, they said, by replacing those other beliefs with their very orthodox radical form of Islam. They all wanted the demise of Israel, though they could not point to any scripture to support it. All of them have either been confronted militarily or in prison,

and have all either been displaced, such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, or have gone underground, such as Boko Haram, Al-Sabaab, Lascari Taiba, and the Tabligh Ahmad. Those that do exist publicly are mostly now in Africa, where the governments are too weak to resist them, especially in North Africa, and places like Mali and also in Niger, or they're in Afghanistan, where the government of Taiba now welcomed them. None of them control or are supported by any Middle Eastern governments. They are now pretty much thrown out of those Middle Eastern governments. They all support Israel, at least in private. Isn't that interesting? Conclusion. So almost all of the Sunni terrorist groups have been become fringe organizations, and no longer pose a threat to the Middle East, and in particular, no longer pose a real threat to Israel, at least to the governments that are there. When we look at Shia Islam in the 21st century, notice the difference. Which Shias have been creating most of the violence in the Middle East and the last 20, in this century, in the last 26

years? The Hezbollah from Lebanon since 1982. Hamas, which is not Shiite. Hamas are Sunnis. What are they doing in the Shiite camp? Great question. Why is anybody bringing this up? Especially in Gaza since 1989, and then the Houthis in Yemen. So the Houthis and the Hezbollah are Shia. So that makes sense, but not Hamas. That could take me an hour to unpack that one. They only are interested in attacking Israel, and no other country, until this year. They all want the complete demise of Israel, which includes genocide from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free. What do you think you're talking about? That's called genocide. While Hamas and the Hezbollah have a geographical reason, the Houthis do not, because they're nowhere near Israel. So why are they interested in Israel? Only Israel has responded to them. Thus, none of them have been displaced or gone underground yet, because nobody has bothered to take them seriously.

None of them are supported by any Middle Eastern governments publicly. Now, notice, think this through. There have been no public demonstrations against Israel, or in support of these three in Damascus, or Riyadh, or Jeddah, or Aman, or Cairo. Why not? Where have all the support come from the Palestinians, and against the Israelis here, United States, and in Europe? Why haven't we brought this to the fore? What's going on here, folks? This is not coming from the Sunni world. All three are supported. That's the Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis are supported, and given funds and weapons by one country and one country alone, and that's Iran. That's all coming out of Iran. Most disturbingly, one Muslim country is attacking other Muslim countries in the Middle East for the first time. Now, they're actually attacking other Muslims, as of this year, but they're only attacking Sunni Muslims. Pay attention to that. You've got to see what's going on. Conclusion, all three Shia terrorist groups are controlled by Iran, which has now become a threat to the entire Middle East with only Israel

in the USA, come confronting it back militarily. Why? Why is no one else helping us? To understand why the Shia's are so interested in Islam, or so interested in Israel, you need to look at their history, and you need to look at their theological position. They do, they have a completely different theological position than the Sunnis, and to understand that, you need to look at the 12 E-mams, or what they call the 12-Ahr Shia of Islam, which starts with Ali Ibn Ali Tayyib, who is the cousin of Muhammad, Hassan al-Ibn Ali, Huzain Ibn Ali, continue on down right through to the top 11. So come down to the 11th one, Hassan al-Haskar. He died in 874, that's the ninth century. So every one of these, these, they weren't heilus, these are imams. Every one of them became an imam when the father died, when their father died. Once they died, the sun takes over. That he dies, the sun takes over. So it's always in the line of the prophet, taken on the mantle of the prophet. Until 874,

until the ninth century, his son, who was Muhammad Ibn Al-Hassan, was only four years old. He was born in 870, and he was four years old. So when his father died, he then was placed into occultation by Allah himself, which was meant he was put in, he was hidden or concealed by God, by Allah in 874. He is still in occultation. He's still asleep folks, 1100 years later. Have you heard this before? And every Shia believes this. It sounds ridiculous, I know. But Sunnis don't believe this, only Shia's believe this. And then he will return that when the Makhli returns alongside Jesus to bring justice and peace, that will be the Makhli himself. Now what is the role? They are divinely appointed as successors of the prophet in religious authority in guidance. They all possess Ishma, when it means protected from sin and error, in conveying and explaining divine guidance. They are the authoritative interpretations of interpreters of both the Quran and the Sunnah. Sunnah is the example of the prophet himself and the source for Shia law in the

theology. They include the 12th Imam al-Makhdi, who entered occultation way back in 874, and will return in the end of time, possibly this year. And Ahmadina Jad was going to introduce him to the world before he was killed on February 28th. That started the war, when 32 of them were killed with that cruise missile that went into that room where they were all congregated. These figures are central to 12th identity, devotional life and Jewish pre-Jewish pre-Jewish pre-Jewish. And much of Shia hadith and fictitious transmitted through the 5th and the 6th Imam's in a particular al-Bakeer in Al-Zidik, I won't get into that right now. So let's look at Iran and let's look at it as a case study. How does the Iran project its power? To understand, you need to understand, let's before we do that, we need to understand how the leftists have been part of this. Why do we see leftists supporting Islamic regimes? Why are they supporting Palestine right now? Examples, look at the queers for Palestine. That's an oxymoron. You know why more homosexuals are not killed or are destroyed in Palestine?

Because there are no more tall buildings to throw them off of. The Red Green Alliance, anti-capitalists, the Labour Green Party, Muslim Coalition in the UK, and the Democrat Muslim Coalition in the USA. So these are leftist groups that are here in both in Europe and the United States who are actually supporting Hamas and the Palestinian power. Why do they see the same pattern occurring? Why do we see the same pattern occurring over and over again? How is it that leftists and Muslims share a common identity when they're absolutely in opposition theologically and certainly politically? They both support anti-aparitalism. That means the Muslim's great Satan is what they call it. They both also are against oppression and subjugation, my position himself as the victims. Both the leftists and the Muslims see the West as rich and corrupt and the East as poor and innocent, and they both consider white supremacy as a major part of the problem. That's why you have all these wars, supposedly in Afghanistan and Iraq, these

were only wars for oil. That's what they say, and that's usually what they usually come away with. Their goals for utopia is to work together to bring about peace and justice even though said of the utopias are radically different between the two groups. And here's the problem and that we need to face and that we need to be aware of. Iran is much better at the information more than we are. They've achieved sympathy with Westerners using the media, social media, and other groups, which we have not been able to keep up with, and especially Israel has been poor at this. Iran is good at strategically strategizing militarily, so therefore they use cheap and indiscriminate drones against very expensive missiles and armaments, and that's why we are being depleted with our missile armament against very, very cheap drones. They are good at decentralizing the power within which remaining committed to their highest goal, defeating the great Satan at any cost. That's why many and the other leaders are dispensable for the cause of Allah, and because

of the fact that they can do it pretty much, they have an apocalyptic vision of the future, they can eradicate anybody that stands in their way, even the 40,000 citizens that were killed in two days in January of this year, and how many people talked about those 40,000 that were killed. Iran is good at stifling the West's energy supplies by shutting down the states of Hormuz as we're seeing very effectively, and all of the above hurt America's image and reputation as a world power, and as a stable model around the world. Let's look at the Shia revolution as an example. To understand this, you need to go back to 1979. How many people were here or were alive in 1979, raise your hands? Wow, almost a third of you. I feel right at home. I always feel like I'm only looking at young people, but there's quite a few people in my age. God bless you. At least we're still standing. Remember back in 1979, remember when that all happened. Remember immediately when Ayatollah was invited from Paris by the Shappur Baktiar, the prime minister at that time. He was

invited to come back to set up a government then, and we all thought it was innocent, but notice who were welcoming him. They were all leftist students. We're welcoming him. Remember that? And we couldn't understand what were these leftist students doing? What are they doing today in the streets and in Columbia University? They're doing the same thing today, but they did this way back in 1979. These left-wing faction, these movements, and then remember when they took, they went and they raided the American embassy and they took all these hostages, these US personnel, and they paraded them down with their blindfolds on humiliating them and dancing around them. Remember that? It was a huge humiliation for us. These were leftist Muslim radical students, captured the US embassy and paraded the US officials blindfolded on camera to prove that they had defeated and humiliated the great Satan. Within months, the Ayatollah had introduced Islam as the prime authority in Iran based on the 12-Ersia understanding of Islam, and he then became the supreme leader, similar to what we would call a caliph in other parts of the Muslim world. He immediately put

together the IRGC, the Islamic Republican Guard Corps. That within three months he had then created that corps is also known as Sapa or Pashtarhan in Persian, as the primary guard in to protect the revolution and maintain Islamic political power. To better understand the significance of their importance, let's take a look at their example, their model, the Prophet Muhammad himself. They're just taking it right from the same playbook that Muhammad did. To look at that, you need to look and see what Muhammad did between Mecca and Medina. In Mecca, Muhammad was peaceful and preached tolerance chapter 2, verse 2, 5, 6, for there is no compulsion religion. Chapter 109, verse 6, 2, you, you're religion, 2, me, my religion. These are peaceful verses, supposedly peaceful verses, but they're in the Mecca revelation. Once he moved to Medina, he became anything but peaceful. Medina, Muhammad became much more vineyard. Chapter 9, verse 5, slay the unbeliever wherever you find them. Verse 29, make war on the people of the book. Chapter 8, verse 39, slay the unbeliever until

all become a legend to Allah himself. Chapter 47, verse 1 to 4, the first three verses talk about a believer and a non-believer. By the time you get to the fourth verse, it says, cut off the heads of the unbeliever. Those are very viney. There's 140 these verses that I could quote. I just quoted you for. In 622, Muhammad moves from Mecca to Medina to help the unsought confront the Jews who control the businesses and the finances there in Medina. In 624, Muhammad instituted the treaty of Medina, putting himself as the arbiter between man and god. No Jew would sign that. Would you sign that? None of us would sign that. And that's why they rejected him because he was introducing the caliph. That means within two years of moving to Medina, he was now already the caliph of Medina. The three Jewish tribes refused to sign the treaty and they were seen as the enemy. So in the battle of, sorry, the battle of Baad that in 624, when he came back, Victorus, he threw out the kind of Baad Nukhaneqa family, which is the first Jewish tribe that was there. The next year in the battle

of Uduh, which he almost lost, was gravely wounded. He was angered because the Jews would not support him so he threw out the ban on the dear family up into the north. And then finally two years later in 627 at the battle of the trenches that no side won, he then attacked the Banu-Koraisa family and he took 800 men and slit their throats in one afternoon. Took all the women and children as concubines and slaves. That means within five years of moving to Medina, he was not from Medina, remember? He was in a foreign place, Dalal Harb. He had made it Dar al Islam. There were no Jews left after five years. Are you following that example? If that is their model, if that is the example and Muslims are watching that model, can you see them? They're doing what they're doing and what their model is. Thank God we have Jesus. Thank God we have Jesus. Yes, we need a clap for Jesus. Note, the Muhammad changed from a man of peace in Mecca to a one of violence in Medina, turning on the indigenous Medinans, which is likewise the model the Iranians use in their

revolution. So back to Iran. What happened to the leftists in Iran? Once they in the Muslims achieved power, Khomeini and the IRGC began to expel persecution and even execute the leftist supporters, roughly two to three thousand were executed. Khomeini also began to purge the leftist groups who did not conform to the new revolutionary government, even pitting some groups against each other, the Tudet Party, which is the largest secular left wing group to support the revolution, which was initially used by the IRGC as their best example of this since as soon as the IRGC came to power, they used the Tudet Party to eliminate the other leftist factions and organizations. Once they accomplished this for the IRGC, they were then disbanded, arrested and sometimes executed. Mosin Rezel, who was one of the spokesman for the IRGC said this, we are in no hurry to execute them. They still have much to confess, but by their confessions they have signed their own death warrants. They're right out in the open. Thus there are no secular leftist parties in Iran today,

they've all been eradicated. This sets a historical precedent for how these unholy alliances will never succeed. Now the IRGC, the Iranian-publican guard, they number, they number about 190,000. There is another military call that the Arthesh, which is the regular army, which man numbers about 600,000, but notice the IRGC, a much smaller group, control all of the military weapons. They are, by far, the most powerful institution in Iran today. They are the principal duty, their principal duty is to protect Iran's Shia Islamic ideology, specifically the Islamic Revolution and its achievements. They have their own weapons and they control the ballistic missiles and drones. Mostly used for internal security, thus they are only answerable to the Ayatollah. They control the Kudz force, which I'm going to talk about, and the Basij volunteers, which is internal threats. They control major sectors of Iran's economy, 33% of GDP in construction, energy shipping, banking and most imports they now control, and that's why you have many of their commanders have become billionaire generals. The Kudz force is mostly used for external and

international control. They number between five to 15,000 members. They are known as the Jerusalem force, that's what Kudz mean. They are responsible for Iran's foreign military. They emerge as a distinct branch of the IRGC after the Iranian-Iraq war. Their activities have included supporting groups such as the Lebanese, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, and now also the Hamas, they're in Gaza. Then you have the Basij, a much bigger group for organization. These are the internal security, a mass volunteer, paramilitary military used by the IRGC. Some say they have been between hundreds of thousands to 25 million, and they are the ones that back in January went and killed 40,000 people in two days. Those are the Basij. Their duty is to suppress protest. Now, so what's the solution for us here in the USA? I have totally depressed you.

Here are the solutions. The constitution that we have is a Christian document created for religious people, and at that time it was created for Christianity because there was no other religion when the constitution was written 200 years ago. The constitution gave every religious institution the freedom they needed to exist. Again, at that time it was uniquely Christian. However, the constitution is not sufficient to stop Islam. As it is using its freedoms for its own needs, he, under the constitution, they are using those freedoms that are granted them. This means a power to gain power and then subvert the very institutions that put them there. Thus, we need Christians back in every institution again. As it was then, it was when it was created. How do we do this? We need to completely reverse the lukewarmness of Christian Christianity. And this is where your pastor has been amazing, efficient. We need to have a 24-7-365,

that means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, we need to have Christians to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. When asked what was more important reading the Bible or praying spiritual and repalant and responded, what is more important, breathing in or breathing out? That's exactly what we need to do. Reading the Bible praying should be as the same as just breathing in and breathing out. It should be every part of our life. We should be doing it 24-70. Let's take inspiration from those Christians who have gone before us, people like Whitfield, in Wesley, in the Wilberforce, in the Reformers, using their example and to spearhead, and that's a trailblazers for us today. Folks, I'm going to end this. We need to bring these Muslims home. Now, as we've been talking about Iran, remember what is the one group in Iran that no one's talking about? Our Christian brothers and sisters. It is the fastest growing group of Christians anywhere

in the world is in Iran today, and no one's paying attention to them. We have to pay attention to them. We have to pray for them. We have to hope that there is a regime change. We want to see that happen, more so than any others. Certainly, we have to keep those nuclear weapons at bay. Yes, otherwise there is no Israel. If they go ahead and do that, isn't that interesting? No other country in the Middle East is trying to create nuclear weapons except Iran. Because of this apocalyptic vision they have to eradicate the great Satan. You can only do that with nuclear weapons. So those have to be eradicated. But we've got to get a new regime change, because what we're now finding out is that 85% of the population of Iran do not want the IRGC. They do not want this apocalyptic vision. And we want to bring them home. Because can you imagine what it's going to be like when there is a regime change and those tens of thousands of millions of Christians come to the fore? Oh, I can't wait.

There are going to be our brothers and sisters in Christ. Folks, this is the vision I have. It's the vision your pastor has. Jack has that vision. I can't say why. He'll tell you more about it. But can you imagine having Iran as a Christian nation again? Bringing them back to their own roots, bringing back to Jesus Christ. But we've got to be careful of those Muslims that are here now. We've got to be careful of their agenda. We've got to be careful of who they're siding up with, even though they have nothing to do with the group that they're aligning with. Because this is how they've done it in the last two 1400 years. Starting with the government, going into the judiciary, then moving to the military and then ending with education. Well, why don't we be just as energetic as them? Why don't we be just as passionate as them? But why don't we do it for our Lord Jesus Christ? Are you with me? God bless you. Let's pray. Lord, what a night we have tonight

because we're up against a foe, a real foe that's no longer over there. As we've seen from these maps, many of them are Asians, many of them are here, and many of them want to come here because this is an open slate, as they call it, an open slate, where they can just come in and start their own program, ironically going back to the very thing that they've escaped from. But, Lord, they don't realize if they come to America, they need to assimilate. They need to come back to a country that, though, is not a Christian country, it has a Christian memory based on Judeo-Christian principles. And it is those principles that you not only model for us two thousand years ago, they are just as relevant then as they are today. Lord, that means we need to make sure that we go public, that we stand up, that we do not just come one day a week and two hours on a Sunday morning, that we use our religion and talk about it, play it out, and make sure that we model you in everything we do. May that be seven days a week, so that we can not only stand up to Islam,

but stand up to what their vision is for this country, because we want to bring this country home to you, and we want to bring these dear beloved people, men and women, Muslim men and women, back to you. That is our my prayer, that is our prayer. Lord, help us in our prayer, we pray, and Christy, our men.
