Reform This!

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he realizes that when it comes to confronting political Islam and actual Muslim reform, it’s more and more clear that, unfortunately, the biggest obstacle is the left’s anti-Americanism and partisan obsessions, much more so than than the host of other obstacles that also exist. No doubt, Muslims need to do a lot more for reform, but the recent, often sympathetic response to the Iranian Mullocracy by the Left should leave many Americans far more enlightened about why there’s been little to no headway against political Islam domestically and globally since 9/11.

Don't miss this week's episode as Zuhdi gives you his take on what's going on in Iraq, Iran and the Middle East from the attack on our American contractors to the so-called demonstrations, rather... terrorist acts ...upon our embassy to now the long overdue targeted killing of General Qasim Soleimani. Make no mistake, this killing is more consequential than the killing of Bin Laden, al-Baghdadi or Awlaki. Dr. Jasser will tell you why.

Don’t miss this week’s episode as Zuhdi looks at the story behind the Netflix satire on Jesus and the trending #GayJesus hashtag. Why is it that left media won’t satire a #GayMuhammad, but anything is game against Christianity? The #TerroristVeto trumps all protecting their radical interpretations of Islam. Also, more and more Islamist imams in the U.S. and the West are being exposed as sexual predators. Where’s the #MeToo movement and the liberal media? Do they really care about Muslims? Zuhdi also talks about the recent stories surrounding the dismissed imam at the Scottsdale Mosque in Arizona.

This week, join Zuhdi as he looks at some of the top issues in the world of national security against radical Islam and the need for real reforms. On the menu this week: the US Congress finally recognizes the Armenian genocide of 1915 and Turkey's Erdogan responds predictably fanatically. The American Left proves yet again how all-in they are with leading American radical Islamist groups. Last, the Saudi government’s attempt to dismiss the Pensacola terror attack committed by their air force officer(s) is so predictable and emblematic.

Don’t miss this episode as Zuhdi looks at the latest regarding the mass shooting by a Saudi national and Air Force pilot, Mohammed Alshamrani, at the US Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. It’s not too early to discuss the evolution and stagnancy of the divergent missions of Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabist salafi-jihadist ideology and the House of Saud’s global foreign policy. Is it not about time we revisit what actual reforms would look like in the Kingdom? From Al Qaeda to ISIS their goal remains to destroy the West and sever the relationship between the US and the West. Can a House of Saud sustain real reforms?

On this Thanksgiving Day weekend, Dr. Jasser looks at all the levels of failure that led to this weekend’s ISIS terror attack killing two and injuring more; by a known, and believe it or not, previously-convicted radical Islamist terrorist: Usman Khan. This case highlights the three major areas of failure our societies in the West have surrendered in what should be a state of war against Islamists domestically and globally. Listen this week, as Zuhdi highlights our most vulnerable areas in western security.

This week Dr. Jasser looks into why the new Arizona Muslim Alliance, a leadership coalition of major Islamic organizations in Arizona, would launch itself by bringing in a known notorious radical Islamist cleric— Siraj Wahhaj. Despite all of his ideological rap sheet, close contacts with individuals convicted of terrorism, and his anti-American anti-semitism, mosogyny, and homophobic bigotry, he remains a significant fundraiser and icon for the Islamist establishment. This episode is a window into everything anyone wanted to know about the major obstacles to reform within the Muslim communities. Dr. Jasser will also look in this episode at the revolution growing in Iran against the mullahs and what it means for the region and theocrats.

As President Trump met with the President of Turkey, Recip Erdogan, in the White House this week, Dr. Jasser takes a hard look at all the issues that should have been on the table. Allies, Enemies, or NATO members, all that doesn't matter when it comes to American interests with the neo-Caliph head of a jihadist state which is now helping to re-spawn ISIS 2.0. Also, Michael Oren wrote about the possible coming military conflagration in the Middle East. Zuhdi talks about what happens in the vacuum of American influence and fear with the worst actors in the Middle East.

Don’t miss this episode where Zuhdi takes on the ideas of the Islamist establishment now trying to legitimize, of all things, the idea of an Islamic Caliphate. Ovamir Anjum, a writer for Texas-based Islamist clearinghouse, the Yaqeen Institute, just published an extensive piece outlining the legitimacy of a Caliphate for Muslims. Dr. Jasser looks at whether this is truly moderate Islam or, more likely, just ”ISIS-lite”. Also, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), stumping for Sen. Bernie Sanders, called for an “end to Western imperialism”. How has ‘full-on Islamist’ rhetoric become commonplace for the far Left in America?

Listen in this week as Zuhdi discusses the impact of Al-Baghdadi’s death upon ISIS and the threat of salafi-jihadist groups to the West. Also, why is the media ignoring the mass protests in Lebanon and Iraq? And what’s the new Muslim appointee on the Commission on Unalienable Rights, Hamza Yusuf, telling other Muslims about the Trump administration that appointed him?

Ep 42 | E Pluribus Unum by TheBlaze Radio Network

Join Zuhdi this week as he looks at the stark distinction between the moral courage of NBA star Enes Kanter and the kleptocratic weakness of “King” LeBron James. What role and responsibility do celebrities have in gathering support and putting pressure on tyrannies like China who commit crimes against humanity? What does it say about our society? Dr. Jasser also will give you the latest on what can be learned from the continued fallout as Turkey begins its war crimes against the Kurds. Last, Zuhdi tells you why calling Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset” only helps platform her radical ideas.

This week, join Zuhdi as he gives you the full story on our strongest allies in Iraq, Syria and the region, save Israel, — the Kurds. What are the moral, strategic, and rational imperatives in the U.S. relationship with the Kurds; and more poignantly, how dangerous is the supposed NATO ally, Turkey, and its neo-Ottoman tyrannical President Recip Erdogan?

In this week’s episode, Zuhdi takes the Salt Lake Tribune to task for whitewashing a large new Mosque project as “female friendly” when it’s only just another gender apartheid mosque in America. When will these low expectations of American Muslims and tolerance for their misogyny end? Listen in to hear also about what happened on the streets outside the annual UN General Assembly Meeting in New York City.

This week Dr. Jasser takes a look at some of the news items missed in domestic and global policy against radical Islamism because of the continued Trump derangement syndrome. Zuhdi also then takes a deep dive into the political dynamics of American Muslim communities and where they do identifiy with American political parties Democrat, Republican, or independent and where they should or shouldn’t. He will also take you through the stranglehold of Islamists, their tribalism, and their attendant “establishment” and the total lack of a reason based approach for many leading Muslims in politics. Zuhdi answers the question — why don’t Muslims actively identity as conservatives or as liberals?

Don’t miss this week’s episode! Dr. Jasser takes a look at Iran’s Khomenist “war games” with more attacks now against Saudi Arabia’s oil production. Zuhdi gives you insight on how to understand their belligerence and possibly what to expect next in the region. No one can make this mess make more sense than Dr. Jasser! Also, the Department of Education is reviewing Islamist bias in foreign language education grants at the UNC and Duke Consortium for Middle East Studies. Media, however, falsely reported it as the Trump administration’s anti-Islam bias. Hear the truth here. Last, what is going on at the Women’s March?

This week, Dr. Jasser shares some reflections on the 18th anniversary of 9-11-01, re-examines where we have come since, and reveals what we all have yet to do for national security and counter-Islamist reforms. His words about 9-11 opening his book, "A Battle for the Soul of Islam" ring true more today than ever before. Yet, The New York Times wrote this week that, "airplanes took aim", and not human beings or jihadists? It's 18 years post-9-11 with so many failures since, yet the mentality is increasingly like 9-10-01. Zuhdi also shares with you the successes and fireworks after a town hall meeting on 9-10-19 that he and other leaders of the Muslim Reform Movement led this week at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, right in Rep. Ilhan Omar's backyard. So much to share!

This week, Zuhdi answers the question that large media platforms should be asking when they let Islamists dominate the representation of American Muslims in the social, political, cultural, and theological realms: Can’t American Muslims do better than the Islamists? Shouldn’t we expect better? American Muslims can certainly do better with regards to ideological diversity, integrity, maternity, and Western values than the radicals like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, or the shape-shifting corruption of Mohammad Tawhidi. Platforming them is a bigotry of low expectations.

This week, Zuhdi looks at reports that the Census Bureau may actually be partnering with the Islamists at CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). It's a bad idea on too many levels to describe. Also, presidential candidates and the Left are still touting "ending all unnecessary wars" despite the U.S. not being in nor starting any wars. Where is this coming from? And what is the place of America in the world? Lastly, an announcement. Don't miss this!

Every day, the Council on American Islamic Relations bullies American citizens into submission if they dare to challenge the Islamist worldview. This week they’re intimidating a minor league baseball team owner in Connecticut. In this week’s podcast, Zuhdi gives you a primer into understanding the who, what, why, and how of CAIR and the real mission of the pitbull of American Islamist organizations.

Zuhdi sounds off on the manipulative geopolitics and anti-Semitic games of the two Muslim Congresswomen barred entry to Israel. Don’t get confused over what the BDS movement represents and what it really stands for. Also, in France some reform-minded Muslim women leaders have had it with Islamists, and they are beginning a resistance against Islamists.

Don’t miss this week’s episode. In the wake of the horrific massacres in El Paso and Dayton, Dr. Jasser looks at how we look at White Supremacism and its adherents' radicalization. The mainstream media‘s rush to expose ideological root causes this week is understandable if not breathtaking in its distinction from their approach to jihadists. Zuhdi also looks at the demonization of the idea of nationalism and the harm that practice has. Last, one year from this week a jihadist terror cell was exposed in New Mexico. Little has changed.

This week, Dr. Jasser takes a look at what we should really make of the royal decree in Saudi Arabia that just supposedly gave women centuries overdue rights to travel alone, be the sole guardian of children, and to work independently. While there is little doubt that this is a major step forward, it is only pro forma or a public relations stunt if it isn't met with concomitant sharia reinterpretations and reform. Then, Zuhdi looks at the controversies over a Muslim basketball camp run by Enes Kanter, a high-profile Gulenist Muslim who has taken on the Erdogan regime, and now their long reach bullies his camp kids. Last, Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) shows a pathological deference to the war criminal, Bashar Assad of Syria. For a candidate that leads on foreign policy, it should be a major concern for every American.

This week join Zuhdi Jasser as he tells you about what the foundational meeting of the "Muslim Caucus Collective" means for political Islam in America and how everyone seems to have missed the open formation of America's first Islamist party this week. Also, a viral video from that conference showed Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) dressing down a questioner that asked her about, of all things, FGM. Another 2018 video featuring Omar making the rounds this week revealed her as always ignoring jihadism but also saying that the real threat was "white men". Get the real story on all this and more here.

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he looks at the latest uproar between President Trump and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Is it racist to tell another American, “Love it or Leave it?”. As the son of Syrian immigrants, Zuhdi explains how the idea that is America cannot survive immigrants who reject its exceptionalism and greatness. Dr. Jasser also looks at the suggestion by Boris Johnson in the UK that Islam kept Muslims centuries behind the West. Last, is ISIS resurgent? The jihadi hydra is returning.

Don’t miss this week’s podcast as Dr. Zuhdi Jasser reflects on the importance of the Fourth of July. He talks about how the sentiment of patriotism and American national identity and pride in our nation are so central to his own work for modern Muslim reform. He’ll also reflect on the Anti-Americanism of leading American clerics like Omar Suleiman as well as how relevant Nike’s cancellation of their flag show is to this whole cultural war with the Left and Islamists.

Don’t miss this week, as Dr. Zuhdi Jasser takes a deep dive into new polling released in the Arab world about very telling trends. Also a similar poll about Americans and Holocaust denial may also tell us a great deal about the influence of anti-American media in the West. With the Democratic primary Presidential debates underway, Zuhdi also looks at some of the shocking positions of vying candidates. 

This week Dr Jasser discusses how from “Concentration camps” to “Islamophobia”, the Red-Green axis of the Left and Islamist lobby tries to manipulate the public lexicon to control speech and prevent blasphemy even in the West. With the death of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood’s, Mohammed Morsi, we can learn a great deal from the eulogies and press releases of American Islamists. Last, Zuhdi makes some sense out of  the latest brinksmanship between the Trump administration and Iran’s theocrats.

This week join Dr Jasser as he looks at what can be learned from the Canadian Conservative Party’s abandonment of an anti-Islamist Muslim leader, Salam Mansur. It could be a sign that we are doomed in the West? Also learn the 11 signs of gaslighting and how it so mysteriously fits the Left’s and the Islamist’s playbook.

As Muslims around the world celebrated the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, (Holiday of the Feast) this week, many sermonizers called on Muslim faithful to "unite" as one nation, one ummah. Dr. Jasser discusses how central that purportedly benign supposed article of faith is to radicalizing Muslim communities globally. Also this week, CAIR is exposed as a fraud in a court settlement from a lawsuit on behalf of defrauded victims. Lastly, Google bans an app from a leading Islamist, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi.

This week, Dr. Jasser walks you through the heart of the global Islamist ideology — their attempt to Islamize “everything” — in every walk of life. Until Muslims confront the Islamist programs to Islamize knowledge and all other avenues of life, they will continue to suffocate and oppress Muslim communities. Learn about this central “oncogene” of Islamism— Islamization. Also, do you know what political Islam is? You’d be surprised what an American imam said about how much damage it does to the faith.

Join Dr. Jasser this week as he breaks down the scandal that evolved at Al Jazeera with a horrifically anti-Semitic video on the Holocaust that a radical Islamist correspondent of theirs, Muna Hawwa, of their AJ+ brand, put out last weekend. Al Jazeera has followed that with an unprecedented attempt at trying to cleanse the internet of the video while their suspended employee indignantly dug her heels in on free speech. Also this week, as tensions rise with Iran, Zuhdi looks at what our strategy should be globally against radical Islamism.

Join Dr. Jasser as he tells you why Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s Holocaust and Israel historical revisionism is not just a sign of her own radicalism, but the dominant culture of propaganda, and victimization globally of Palestinian Islamists. Zuhdi will also put in perspective for you what exactly is happening between the United States and Iran and what the real story should be. Is there really a new risk of war? This and more from the world of Muslim radicalization and reform.

This week don’t miss Dr. Jasser's introduction to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Zuhdi will then give you a primer in the domestic and global Red-Green Axis. Why do Socialists and Islamists work together, and who are they? Also a Muslim American Society grade school performance video featured kids at a Philly school celebrating anti-Semitism and the “chopping off of heads”. This is the tip of the iceberg of American Islamist supremacism and radicalization. Islamists invoke blasphemy laws in Britain, suppressing an “offensive” painting at a Saatchi gallery exhibit. Zuhdi discusses the implications.

Don’t miss this week’s episode. Dr. Jasser, looks at what is likley behind the return of ISIS’ Caliph Al-Baghdadi and the messages in his video after a 5 year hiatus. Also, why the Muslim Brotherhood is obviously a foreign terror organization and why it matters to national security, to reformers and to Muslims. Wait. Did Sports Illustrated objectify an all too-willing and confused hijabi in a burkini to teach feminists a lesson about the virtues of misogyny? As Facebook shutters a large swath of new sites, Zuhdi again calls for an internet Free Speech Bill of Rights for activists.

This week, Dr. Jasser looks at the resurgence of ISIS after the worst single terror attack since 9-11, this time in Sri Lanka. While the terror group is clearly regrouping after its defeats in Syria, Iraq and Libya, the global jihad continues to grow unabated. More and more innocents remain vulnerable, and the West has yet to develop an offense against the root cause of militant Islamism. What will that take? Also, another firestorm is brewing around Congresswoman Omar’s 2017 comments about American military operations in Somalia in 1993. With American heroes from “Black Hawk Down” weighing in, this may be one of her radical positions against America that she just can’t dodge.

This week, Dr. Jasser will fill you in on the news everyone is missing as they all obsess over the release of the Mueller Report. Two more Arab dictators have fallen, this time in Algeria and Sudan. What does that mean for their countries and the region? Speaking of revolutions, Iranian government hackers saw the tables turned on them as an anonymous group called Read My Lips exposes their information for the world to see. Also, sadly, the federal government’s anti-FGM case appeal against two Michigan physicians is dropped as the law is felt to be inadequate for a victory. What does this mean for the human rights of affected young Muslim girls? Lastly, the reason why the West needs to pay so much more attention to Honor Killings.

This week, join Dr. Jasser as fills you in on why the attention to the halfwittedness of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is going a long way towards finally educating Americans on the type of radical Islamist leadership which dominates so many Muslim communities. Rep. Omar's arrogance, ignorance and Islamism is the worst combination of characteristics for an American politician. Zuhdi looks at the maelstrom around her increasingly offensive tweets and asks why the Left insists on infantalizing her. Saudi Arabia’s Muslim World League's secretary general admonishes American Muslims like Ilhan Omar to better assimilate and be loyal to the Constitution. Is this a sign of real reform for Saudi Arabia or not? Lastly, the Iranian Republican Guard Corps was just named a foreign terror organization (FTO) by the Trump administration. Here's why that is the best thing for the Iranian people and the world.

Join Dr. Jasser, this week, as he looks at the virtually ignored story about the final demise of the ISIS Caliphate. Who should take the credit? And what does it mean for our war against global jihadism? Will there be a Caliphate 2.0? Also, as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg calls for increased government regulation of social media, Zuhdi calls for the urgent need of a social media and internet free speech bill of rights. Don’t miss this episode!

Don't miss this week's episode.  Now, American Islamists are oddly calling Gulf state monarchs and dictators "Islamophobes". That's right, in major U.S. publications, Islamists are saying these Muslim dictators are "Islamophobic bigots".  Dr. Jasser takes a deep look at how the American Islamists have now shown their hand. Zuhdi will make some sense out of that Orwellian doublespeak a.k.a.-- The Takfiri Olympics. Dr. Jasser also updates you on the recent large protests this week outside the CAIR-LA fundraiser keynoted by Congresswoman Ilhan "the Islamist" Omar (D-MN), as well as the Trump Administration’s recognition of Golan.

Just back from an extended trip to Australia, Dr. Jasser shares his heartfelt reflections after the terror attacks on the mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. He looks at the functional and dysfunctional responses. As Zuhdi just happened to be in that part of the world speaking to community, government and media leaders; he also looks at what the West has at stake in this generational battle for liberty against Islamist theocracy. You’d be surprised how much nations of the West share. A major Salafi-jihadi network in the Middle East, NaizakTV, continues to invoke militant Islamist hate speech against Dr. Jasser. He discusses whether Twitter will do something about it.

Speaker Pelosi’s Democrat-controlled House of Representatives twisted themselves into dysfunctional knots unable to even make a clear stand rebuking the anti-Semitic bigotry of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Dr. Jasser shares what you may have missed in this major story this week and also what it means for anti-Islamist reformers and the power of Islamists and their progressive enablers. The House proves that not only are they unable to clearly rebuke anti-Semites in their own party, they treat Muslims with a pathological bigotry of low expectations. Congress has procedurally turned into the United Nations. Don’t miss this must-listen episode!

This week Dr. Jasser asks how the Saudi regime can have so much “Islamic” credibility in Muslim communities while their Crown Prince just congratulated the Chinese for putting a million Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps? Also Zuhdi takes a deeper look at what limits if any should exist in free speech and how the de-platforming of Tommy Robinson and others like him only helps the Islamists and their jihad. Last with all the talk about anti-Semitism, it’s time America takes a crash course in the Islamist roots of anti-Semitism.

Don't miss this week's episode if you're looking for some common sense about the contrived controversy over ISIS bride Hoda Muthana. Secretary Mike Pompeo and President Trump rightly deny her re-entry on a technicality after years with our nation’s enemies—ISIS-- and the Council on American Islamic Relations now instead finds itself a new low, a new client, deciding to defend her right to return as a citizen and seek "therapy". Zuhdi will give you the contrasting viewpoint of patriotic American Muslims who have had enough with the boundless Islamist mantle of victimization. Enough is enough. No. Islamists are not victims. They are supremacists. And speaking of treason. If you haven't heard of Monica Witt, another American traitor now in hiding in Iran, you'll want to listen to this podcast.

This week join Dr. Jasser as he takes a personal look at Valentine’s Day and how western society’s comfort with affection and love is defining incompatibility with Islamist theocrats and their tribal fundamentalists. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is putting America through a crash course on the ideological threats of Islamist extremism. Her ideology is obvious to anyone who understands Islamism. Zuhdi tells you what you aren't learning from media  about her natural and compulsive anti-Semitism. What her bigotry should teach all Americans about Islamism and the Left. Last, ISIS jihadis are trying to return home from Syria to their families in Britain, Canada and the U.S. Should they go directly to jail, or be given a second chance? Zuhdi discusses the depth of their threat and how the United States and other western nations should confront this issue. You won’t want to miss this one. 

On the heels of this week's #SOTU address by President Trump, Zuhdi takes a look at how much there is to learn for Muslim reform from what American unity should be and is when America is strongest and most United. Dr. Jasser discusses our identity and what unites us. Also, the media all of a sudden wakes up to the handoff of American weapons to Islamist terror groups in the Middle East.

Don’t miss this week’s episode as Dr. Jasser takes a deeper look at the unbelievable outrage over Tom Brokaw’s “faux pax” when he suggested that many in the HIspanic community need to work harder at assimilation. Zuhdi answers the question, also so relevant to defeating Islamism, whether assimilation is a virtue or a vice? Speaking of assimilation. France is set to “welcome back” over 130 ISIS jihadis coming back from Syria. Should they lose their citizenship? Dr. Jasser gives his two cents.

This week Dr Jasser reflects on what the power of art and humanities could do in driving long overdue Muslim reforms. There can be no modernity without the human creativity of the humanities. What can the United State's advocacy for freedom with the brewing revolution in Venezuela reveal about American Muslim leaders and also about US policies in the Middle East? Last, should Facebook decertify Maduro?

This week Dr. Jasser talks about the ISIS terror attack in Manbij Syria that killed 19 including four Americans. The American pullout of the few troops will likley continue. Zuhdi reviews what it all means. Also, the newly inaugurated Islamist Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar doubles down on her anti-semitism and wasted no time in floating typical whacky Islamist conspiracy theories. And what so many Muslims need to learn from the courageous NBA player Enes Kanter.

Don’t miss this week’s episode. Zuhdi sums up the facts on the ground in Syria as the U.S. pulls out, or... maybe ...doesn’t pull out our few troops in the northeast of Syria. Dr. Jasser then tells you why the future of American security against radical Islam will not be won by our military but only by taking the ideas of liberty on the offense globally against Islamism. Zuhdi also shares the disturbing revelations from the Investigative Project in Terrorism’s report out this week about the millions of dollars from American foundations going to American Islamist groups like CAIR. Why?
