Islam
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
In this powerful and timely episode, we examine the growing tensions between Islamic worldviews and the foundational values of the West—individual liberty, personal responsibility, and Judeo-Christian moral order. With a record 42 Muslim Americans elected to public office in the 2025 off-year elections—including historic wins like Zohran Mamdani as New York City's first Muslim mayor and Ghazala Hashmi as Virginia's first Muslim lieutenant governor - we're in a new moment for America. Rising mosque numbers (48 opened in Texas alone in the last 24 months) and escalating Christian persecution in Muslim-majority countries like Nigeria (7,000 Christians killed in the first 220 days of 2025) raise urgent questions about integration, influence, authority, and the future of our constitutional republic.We explore Islam's history as a political-military conquest movement (from the 7th-century expansions to modern regimes in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and beyond), doctrinal clashes (Sharia vs. the Constitution), unholy alliances (progressivism and Islam rejecting Christianity), and why forced collectivism—whether socialist or theocratic—undermines Western freedom.Yet this is not a message of fear or judgement—it's an invitation to hope. Drawing from former Muslims like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Nabeel Qureshi, we contrast Islam's works-based path with the beauty of the Gospel: grace, self-sacrificial love at the cross, and resurrection power that defeats sin, guilt, and death while upholding human dignity. Jesus offers the most fulfilling answers to life's deepest questions.Join us for a respectful, direct, and biblically grounded conversation that calls Christians to discernment, truth-speaking in love, and unwavering hope in Christ.Apologists/Authors mentioned in the show: Nabeel Qureshi • Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity (2014) • No God but One: Allah or Jesus?
