Alex McFarland: Hamilton Corner focuses on rise of Islam in America

>> Alex McFarland: Darkness is not an affirmative force.

>> Speaker B: It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer.

>> Alex McFarland: To live as a hypocrite, delivering people.

>> Speaker B: Out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to.

>> Alex McFarland: Be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.

>> Speaker B: And, now, the Hamilton Corner.

>> Alex McFarland: Welcome to the program. Alex McFarland here. Very honored to be sitting in for Abe Hamilton. And we have a very important show, very special guest that you'll meet in just a few moments. Mohammad Faridi. And we're going to talk about the rise of Islam in American culture. But I've got to, with a bit of chagrin, relate to a story from 29 years ago. 29 years ago, I'd come out of graduate school, Liberty University, with a, postgraduate degree in apologetics. really philosophy of religion. That's what they call the Apologetics program. But we had gone through all facets of defending the faith, and I was making the rounds, trying to find a position in a church. and I ultimately became a youth pastor and college campus minister. But I was meeting with a major denominational leader for a very, very large Protestant denomination in America. This is 29 years ago, almost 30 years ago. And he, said to me, apologetics, you know, what are you going to do with that? I said, well, you know, apologetics is the evidence for the Christian faith, winning lost people, skeptics, atheists, Muslims. And this man said to me, and this was 29 years ago, he said, unless someone goes to the foreign mission field, they'll probably never encounter a Muslim. This is Christian America, Alex. Apologetics. And especially, Islamic apologetics, it's just not necessary. Well, here we are right now, even as we speak, 142 electoral seats are about to be seized by Muslims in America. Mayoral, elections, city council, school boards, Senate seats, it's probably even more than that. But at least 140 Muslim candidates are running for positions in America this year. And, there are even communities where Sharia law, there's consideration of it being allowed. And in certain places in Dearborn, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, it's already in practice. Well, folks, besides the souls of people and lost people need to be born again through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus, Gentiles, Jews, Arabs, Muslims, there's the spiritual dynamic, but there's also the cultural implication. And so to talk about this with us and help us to get up to speed is a colleague, Mohammad Faridi. I've come to appreciate this man so deeply. We teach at Charis Bible College in Colorado. he is just brilliant and just his great intellect is eclipsed only by his equally great heart in my opinion. He's our guest right now. Mohammad Faridi, a follower of Jesus Christ and a great voice to learn from on this subject of Islam. I welcome you sir, to the American Family Radio Network.

>> Speaker B: thank you Alex for having me. Appreciate you.

How concerned are you about the growth of Islam in America and the West

>> Alex McFarland: Well, I appreciate you and I want to talk about, just living in America. How concerned are you about just the escalation of Islam? I mean it's in the news every day. There are lobbyist groups and even some Christians, I think they're very naive and very ill informed if they even are born again. But even many Christians, have said to me, well, we all worship the same God. we say Jesus, they say Allah, come on, let's just live and let live. But Muhammad, how concerned are you about the growth of Islam in America and the West?

>> Speaker B: I'm very concerned actually because the city that runs the economics of the world now is ruled by a Muslim. His name is Mamdani. Mamdani was just In January of 2026, just this past couple of weeks, he actually put his hand on the Quran, the, the supposed holy book of Islam. Not on the Bible, not on the Constitution, not on, in the American, Christian culture. None of that. He rejected all of that and boldly put his hand on the Quran, the Islamic, most holy book, and was sworn as the mayor of the NewSong York. I mean, how much bigger do they need to get for the Christians to wake up and see this is a problem. They have not come to stay, they have not come to assimilate. They have come to take over.

>> Alex McFarland: Yeah, and you know, I did a lot of media back when he was running, and I did a lot of research. there are 105 billionaires, in NewSong York City and yet he said there should be no billionaires. And even in his first few days as mayor of NewSong York City has tried to take away all the rights of real estate owners that own like apartment buildings and houses and give all the rights to the tenants and take away the rights of landlords. But NewSong York City is the 13th largest economy in the world. A bigger economy than Canada, a bigger economy than France or even the UK and that Economy, as you so well said, that really shapes the economic temperature of the world is now in the hands of a Muslim.

>> Speaker B: Exactly. Yeah.

>> Alex McFarland: Yes.

>> Speaker B: And but you have to consider this, Alex. And I want the audience to know that Muslims, Because the message of the Muslims, the message of Islam generally speaking is very unappealing. It is very, very vague. It is very unfamiliar to the Western mind. Therefore, they have to adapt. They have to change. They have to kind of sugarcoat their messaging, which is appealing to a NewSong Yorker, let's say a millennial or a Gen Z, a message of socialism, a message of Marxism. So that's the face David David put up. the Ayatollah of Iran, ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 has proven that to the world that we should have been seeing all of this, unveiling in front of us. And then, we should have been wiser to this and say, oh, we have seen this pattern before. This has never worked. Ayatollah Khomeini never came to Iran to say, now we're going to rule the rule the. Rule the country of Iran, a beautiful country such as they called it, the South Korea of Middle East. Ayatollah Khomeini never came and said, oh, we're going to be cutting the rights of women. We do not allow the woman to vote. We are not. We are going to implement Sharia. we will have Sharia law. man can have to up to. Have to. Man can have up to four wives and men are owning their wives. They can beat him up. And he never came up with those things. That is the message of Islam that.

>> Alex McFarland: We'Re gonna rule with force.

>> Speaker B: He, he came as. We will have free electricity, free transportation. We will have an economic that is under an adjust Islamic system. System. The king, the Shah of Iran, which was the rich at the time, we will take the money from him and distribute among people. And that was the message of the Ayatollah Khomeini. If, if you put Ayatollah Khomeini's speech right next to Mamdani, you would not know who is speaking. It's identical. In 1979, the Persians, the Iranian heard about, oh, we want a government housing. We want to bring, the petroleum money to the doors of the Iranian people and distribute it, collectively among people. But that was the messaging because the message of Islam itself is very, very unappealing. It is very actually weird that for Example, the witness of a woman values half of a man. That is Sharia of Islam. That's the message of Islam. The message of Islam is will take over. Sharia will rule. And non Muslim have no right to live. If you're a Christian, Jew, if you're a homosexual, if you're an atheist, you have no right to live in, in an Islamic society. So that message will not sell at least yet in the west. So what what Mr. Mamdani did, it just came and repeated the history for the NewSong Yorkers. Came up, with those socialist, Marxist, messaging that we will have free education and public, grocery stores and governmental housing affordability and all of that. And you saw that the first day. The very gentleman, the very mayor that promised to the NewSong Yorkers that you will have public transportation the day he put his hand on the Quran and was promised as the mayor the same day the public transportation in the state of NewSong York went up 15%.

>> Alex McFarland: Yes, yes. And you know, people are so naive, about this.

Alex McFarland: Mohammed Faridi was born under Iran's Islamic regime

Let me ask you this. and for those just tuning in, Alex McFarland here, we're talking with Mohamed Faridi, a Christian. but where did you grow up, Mohammed?

>> Speaker B: I was born and raised in, under the Islamic regime of Iran in 1984. I was born. So I, I never know the period that my dad lived. For example, when he lived in under the Shah of Iran, which was very secular. He was, he was very west, capitalistic, friendly man. And then the Iranians I, I guess, had it too easy, too beautiful. Their passports actually was very valuable. They could travel around the world and. And all of a sudden, look, completely out of the blue, we had this revolution, Muslim revolutionary that now is talking about. We're going to get rid of the system, this evil system of the rich and distribute the wealth. And it was very appealing to the students, the university students of the time. And they got behind him, the left, the Marxist inside Iran got behind this Islamist. And they were thinking, okay, we use this Islamist because it is a revolutionary. We use this useful, idiot. We prop him up, we'll get him, we'll get him in power and then we will rule. We will rule. But lo and behold, they were they had a rude awakening after he was elected because he invited everyone, Diatola Khomeini invited everyone, every one of those Marxist leftists, every one of those people, the Labor Party type people, he invited all of them, all of them, the opposition and the people that they helped him to get elected invited him to a banquet and killed them all. He got rid of 100%.

>> Alex McFarland: I remember, excuse me. I remember in 1979, all of that, and I was just a, I don't know, 12, 13 years old back then. But Muhammad, I remember that females, were not allowed to be educated anymore. And I had seen on the news, beautiful. I mean it would have looked like any American college campus and females, you know, that it looked like, you know, heartland America and the colleges were closed in Iran and females couldn't get an education anymore. And I just remember that, it just became like a police state when, you know, radical, you know, fundamentalist Islam was imposed. And folks, I've talked, I had a four hour conversation with the vice president of care, the Council on American Islamic Relations. And this woman just very calmly told me that they would claim America for Islam and the Constitution of America would one day be, suspended. Yeah, and Sharia would be.

>> Speaker B: They absolutely hate the Constitution of America. They believe that the law of Allah is a divine law. The Sharia of Islam is divine and constitution is nothing but man made rule which is corrupt and evil. And they really believe this, that they're doing a service to Allah by dismantling, to using the democracy to overthrow the democracy.

>> Alex McFarland: And so folks, we're going to take a break, we're going to come back and you may not believe that we are in the crosshairs of a jihad, but there is a cultural jihad in process. And if you're a believer, you need to pray. You need to influence others for the gospel. Alex McFarland here along with our guest Mohammad Faridi talking about America. The future hangs in the balance and Islam is reaching for it. Stay tuned. We'll come back after this break and continue. The AFR app is a powerful tool.

>> Speaker B: But it does have limitations.

>> Alex McFarland: You can't use it to change the oil in your vehicle or get rid of carpets stains. It won't walk the dog, won't pick up the dry cleaning or take the kids to practice. But while you're doing those things, you can listen to your favorite AFR content through the app on your phone, smart device or Roku.

>> Speaker B: Just go to your app store or.

>> Alex McFarland: Visit afr.net Listen to AFR wherever you go with the AFR app.

>> Speaker B: Shining light into the darkness.

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Muhammad Faridi says no

This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

>> Alex McFarland: Welcome back to the program. We're talking with Mohammad Faridi about the growth of Islam here in America. Literally dozens of things that we could cite probably Islam became cognizant, to Most people, September 11, 2001, when, and this was certainly not the first attempt, There was in 1993 an attempt to detonate a bomb in the World Trade Towers. But Islam has been front page news literally daily since the 70s. And it's a puzzlement to me why more churches and certainly more ministers don't preach about the differences between Christianity and Islam. let me just ask our guest Mohammad Faridi, from Iran, contrary to what liberal Westerners say, Muhammad, do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

>> Speaker B: they do not. So if you want to ask, answer that question really quick. Absolutely not. The answer is emphatically absolutely not. Because, the God of Quran, the God of Islam, denies the Trinity, denies the sonship of Christ, denies the fatherhood. Let me give you a a, a cue that. Excuse, me, a clue that you will always remember. Muslims all around the world, regardless of where are they geographically, what language do they speak, regardless of their, if they're Sunni or Shias, they always do five times their prayer. Facing Mecca, they recite two chapters of the Quran. These are short chapters as it's, as part of this ritual prayers that they do facing Mecca. Ah, they bow down, prostrate, and then so on and so forth. So during this five times prayer, they repeat these two chapters. 17 times prayer, each. In one of those chapters, in, in one of those short chapters, one of the verses that they recited every day, every Muslim all around the world, it is meaning he is not beget, he is not begotten, meaning God is not a father and does not have a son. So Muslim prayer is a polemic, is an attack on Christianity. So when you deny the fatherhood of God, the sonship of Christ, you deny in The Quran, chapter 17, verse 1, 171, it says that he was not crucified, Allah did not crucify him, but someone appeared as Jesus and was crucified on, on his behalf. So therefore he's not a father, he's not a son, he wasn't crucified, he's not the Savior. And if he didn't die for the sin of the world, therefore he wasn't resurrected. So yeah, this is a very basic Christian doctrine that every believer anywhere in the world needs to believe. God the Father sacrificed his son for our sake. He became actually sin, that we might become the righteousness of God. How did he do that? the sinless Son of God was crucified, was sacrificed, his blood was shed. He gave up his life and God put our sin upon him and punished his son. That what we do not deserve and we could have not achieved, the Son of God achieved for me and he became this substitute, he became the Lamb of God that was the substitute for our sin. And as a result he gives us his righteousness. Everything I said right now as a Christian that you need to believe to be a Christian, it is explicitly every one of this doctrine has been denied.

>> Alex McFarland: Indeed. And that's why, you know, I just Muhammad, I just groan in frustration when pastors and ministers, not all but many have said to me that Islam and Christianity are compatible. about five years ago I was on Fox News, on the morning show, Fox News national, with a ah, Methodist minister from Tennessee who was advocating for what he called Chrislam, that Christianity and Islam were essentially the same. And I said much of what you said, that it's impossible. Christianity, the gospel, the good news is that the Son of God, God incarnate, Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross, rose from the dead by faith in Jesus, were saved. And without Christ dying on the cross, we have no gospel. And Islam denies that Jesus died on the cross. I do want to say this and this might be helpful to some of the listeners. The word begotten in the English Bible, John 3:16 says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. And I've had a few Muslims say to me, Muhammad, that God does not he is not begotten nor does he beget. And folks I want you to know that in the Greek it's monogenesis. And what John 3:16 is literally saying is that Christ is of the same nature or essence as the Father. Mono means one genesis. it can mean origin but it also can mean nature. That's why Jesus could say if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. And that's why Jesus could say in John 8 and John 10 I and the Father are one. So folks, if you're interacting with a Muslim and trying to share Jesus only begotten of John 3:16 does not mean many Muslims have said to me that God did not lay with Mary. That's not what it's saying. What it's saying is that Christ is of the same age, essence or nature as the Father. But Muhammad I've got to ask you, how did you become a believer? What what opened your eyes? And how did you come to faith in Jesus Christ?

>> Speaker B: The way that I heard the gospel is while I was, being, in the Revolutionary Guard of Iran, in the irgc, a terrorist organization, being, programmed to become a sacrifice for the sake of Allah, I was being trained. I was. They taught us that we need to pray. Part of the training was that they put us in empty, empty graves during the night to fight the fear of death. As I was going through all of these things, in Islam, in all of the Shia Islam, you're very familiarized with the idea of being sacrificed for a greater cause. And this sacrifice in jihad and martyrdom, by dying for the sake of Allah, you will have eternal life guaranteed to you. And then I came back out of my military service. I was almost 22 years old, when I talked to a friend of mine, which we grow up together, he was medically exempt from military service. So we were. We're a part about, two years. And my friend, that day he told me, that God has sacrificed his son for my sake, that I do not to be sacrificed. And my sacrifice is a filthy rag before the holy God because I have many sins, but the Son of God did not. And, Alex, that's the best thing I've ever heard in my life. And, in the midst of pursuing Allah to become the sacrifice, I heard, no, that God has already provided the ultimate sacrifice. He has paid for the sin of me and the sin of the whole world. And, the gospel, the good man m. The good news of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ penetrated my heart. And, that deception that I was operating under, that veil of deception was torn. And I could see that this is the truth. And that day I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. And it's been 20 years now. And, it's the one best decision I've ever made in my life to follow Christ.

>> Alex McFarland: Amen.

We need to pray for the conversion of the Islamic world

And this is so important, folks. And. And we need to pray for the conversion of the Islamic world. you know, the. The patriot in me, bristles when I think of Sharia in America. But really the compassion in all of us should be that we pray that the more than one and a half billion humans that are Islamic, they need Jesus. Just like Muhammad Faridi found Jesus Christ, we need to pray that the Muslims all around us would find Jesus Christ. Muhammad, let me ask you this. Some of the doctrines that. That, Islam rejects, the deity and the incarnation and the crucifixion, resurrection of Christ, they deny the Trinity. I know from debates and conversations that they believe the NewSong Testament has been corrupted. Now, all of these things we can answer and we should be able to do that. And we have compelling data, compelling evidence for the Christian faith. But, Muhammad, let me ask you this. In your opinion, does the average Muslim believer walking around, do they care deeply about doctrinal issues? I mean, is it more cultural? Or do they invest and study the doctrines of Islam, so that they, you know, are thinking about, you know, the, the, the errors they assume are in Christianity?

>> Speaker B: it is all of those, the three options you give. It's all those, options. All the above, I should say, because you have the Muslims that are called culturally Muslim, they're very secular. And then you have the Muslims that are, practicing Muslims. They're learning about their religion every day. They go to mosque. They are, devout, devoted themselves to the Islamic teachings and Islamic doctrine. And then you have the ruling class or the. We call them the radical or we call them the jihadi or the fundamentalist. But the third option is, are those who really believe what Islam is, is they understand what Islam is, what requires of them, and they are practicing it. So you could it. Islam is not an, a, religion that you would say, okay, it's between me and God, and this is about an individual life and I'm going to be a good Muslim or a good neighbor. It is not never about that. Yes, includes those parts that I just talked about. But it m. It is much more beyond that. one of the doctrine of Islam is jihad. Jihad is in the Western world. They, they translate jihad as a, struggle or this is an inner struggle. This is the Western, this is the Western translation of it where I grew up. And whenever you look at the history of Islam, this article of faith in Islam, this pillar of faith in Islam, Jihad has been always the holy war. How do you do, how do you fight this holy war? What Allah requires of you to be a Muslim? Well, Muslims love Muslims, but hate the non Muslims. This is an article of faith. And so this tribalism exists. That's why you see Muslims so bind themselves together very strong because they're commanded to. And that community get. It's a, it's like an unclothed. So when they gather someplace such as Minneapolis, Dearborn, whatever it is, they will take over that area. To the extent that there is no outside influence into it, there is, you cannot penetrate it. And then we call them the no go zones. These are the command of Allah. And then Allah commands Muslim that they have to fight the Christians and Jews, they have to fight the policies and excuse me and on and until they do not. And until the, the Islam is not entered every house. If until Islam hasn't ruled every nation, the end will not come. The Islamic peace will not come. So that's yes there is personal prayers and, and all of that being. But you cannot separate that part of Islam from the imperialistic invasion that they always. The conquest that they always dream about. Always the scholars talk about. And I can show you in 100 years, from the, from 6:32 when Muhammad died the self. Not, not this Muhammad the self diagnosed prophet of Islam when He died in 632 by 7:32 3/4 of the Christian world was conquered and converted to Islam.

>> Alex McFarland: Yeah.

>> Speaker B: And they never stopped. They will never stop because this is also part of Islam. Yes. You're maybe one of the listener now is saying so how about my Muslim neighbor who is gay or. They are very nice people. I mean we're not talking about them, we're not talking about individual. I'm talking to you about the doctrine. If that very Muslim neighbor that is moderate supposedly or is non practicing or very culture, that very Muslim goes and starts pursuing the Islamic doctrine, goes into the mosques and start want to become the Muslim Allah wants him to become, you will get the isis, the Al Qaeda, the Hezbollah, the Islamic regime of Iran, the Houthis of Yemen. That's what you're going to be getting at the end of the day.

>> Alex McFarland: Yeah. You know TheAtlantic.com which is not a Christian magazine by any stretch, not even a conservative magazine. Two years ago they had a pretty lengthy article, and they said that the faithful Muslims are the jihadists. That and they took a lot of criticism but it was the truth that really Islam, the Atlantic wrote it's not a religion of peace, but it's a religion of domination. Subjugating the world for Allah and that they desire a worldwide caliphate. Well, we've got to take a brief break. Alex McFarland here along with our guest, our Christian brother Mohammad Faridi, originally from Iran. We're going to talk more about the danger of Islam growing in America and what we can do as citizens and certainly as Christians and what we must do. stay tuned. We're back after this brief break.

Mohamed Faridi teaches apologetics defense at Charis Bible College

>> Alex McFarland: Welcome back to the program. We're going to resume our conversation with Mohamed Faridi in just a moment. But, you know, a lot of what we're talking about relates to apologetics defense, defending the Bible as God's word, defending that Jesus is the risen son of God. And this summer I've got the great privilege. I'll be at the Billy Graham Training center in Western North Carolina, the COVID And, July 17 through 19, I'll be teaching on Bible prophecy.

But if you would like to learn more and really get prepared not only for your own walk and witness, but maybe you want to begin to teach in your church how to defend the Christian faith. I would love to meet you at the COVID if you want to register, the website for the COVID conference center is t-e c o v e.org, thecove.org and I would love to see you there. Muhammad and I have the privilege of teaching together at Charis Bible College in Colorado. I'll be there this summer at their summer Family Bible Conference. Thousands of people come from all over the west and even parts of the world to that. And so, check out that we also have many, many apologetics resources that the, Lord's allowed us to create and implement through Charis Bible College. Muhammad, before we resume our conversation, do you have a website or how could people contact you if they were interested in, in learning more or having you speak?

>> Speaker B: my website or the Ministry's website is IranChristians.org Iran Christians.

Uh, speaking of which, um, uh, Iran is front page news

>> Alex McFarland: speaking of which, as this airs, Iran is front page news, here in recent weeks and sadly so many people have been killed. could you bring us up to speed, on news of Iran and do you know some of the people impacted by the riots and the violence going on there? Sure.

>> Speaker B: it's been now 16, 17, days of uprising all over Iran which started with a plunge of the Iranian rial or Iranian currency. I put it, put this in perspective for you. In 1979, one, dollar was seven toman. So you give one dollar, you would get seven two months. Seven Iranian, dollars. Let's say Today it is one to 147,000. Two months.

>> Alex McFarland: 147,000 thousand.

>> Speaker B: That is what Islam brought to Iran. You remember in the beginning of this broadcast, in this program we talked about Iran, promised Islam, promised the Iranian people justice, housing, free transportation. And this is one of the things that it has done. One of the fruit of Islam has been the economic collapse. Absolutely. the water is unration, the electricity on ration. We do not have a viable Internet in Iran. And and this is what has happened to the currency of Iran. We went from the ratio 1 to 7, $1 to 7, 2 months. We went to now 1 to 147, 2 months. As a result, Iranian came out. the. The shopkeepers in the bazaars and the market closed. the unsettled, unsettlety. And the situation caused. This economic situation caused a lot of the shopkeepers close their shops. And Iranian came to protest. And 17 days now, 16, 17 days later, they say that the government has killed between 4 to 12, 12,000 people. And we're talking about tens of thousands of people have been arrested, detained, kidnapped, thrown in God knows where in custody of this brutal evil regime that is. That has occupied Iran. And this, this is the situation in Iran which is, I haven't been. I. This past five, six days. I haven't been able to talk to my parents. It's. It's been completely black. Blackout, situation on power on. On. On Internet, on phone lines. There is no communication. But brave Iranians, brave, young, Iranian freedom fighters have been on the streets sacrificing their life to. To rescue themselves from this evil regime.

Iranians have burned hundreds of mosques this past week

on another note, which is absolutely m. marvelous, it is absolutely amazing, this past, week, Iranians have burned hundreds of mosques. They have burned it to the ashes inside Iran. And when I was looking at the how, how the news and how the situation is unfolding. I was thinking, my goodness gracious, Iranian, who, Who were supposedly Muslims, born and raised Muslim, now are burning down the, the Islamic centers and the mosques. And here on the, in the west, we're building mosques, we're expanding Islam, we're pandering it. Pandering to it. And I'm just. The irony is just beyond me, Alex. It's just beyond me what has happened to the West.

>> Alex McFarland: Yeah. let me ask you this. and by the way, we will be praying for your parents. And I know it's got to be very heavy on your heart and may God bring peace to that region and especially the gospel to the Iranian people. But like when Mamdani won the election in NewSong York City, was there celebration in any parts of the Islamic world to your knowledge? I mean, do Muslims in the Middle east see this as a victory for Islam in the Western world?

>> Speaker B: Absolutely. The Muslim Brotherhood, the worst Islamists that are banned in many countries around the world, even in Islamic countries, they celebrate the Hamas, the Hezbollah type Muslims, they celebrate the victory of Mamdani. One of the countries that, tremendously, was praising and celebrating this situation was Pakistani Muslims. And this is, this is the unfortunate, situation that Muslims are seeing this as the advancement of Islam, the takeover of Islam in the Western world, which they believe that Allah is giving them victory.

What advice do you have for Americans regarding the presence of Islam

>> Alex McFarland: What advice do you have for Americans, regarding the presence of Islam? I mean, and I want to talk about personally interacting and conversing and witnessing, but, you as one who really was. I'm not just going to say you came out of it, you were delivered out of that belief system and culture. What do you say to Americans? Muhammad.

>> Speaker B: Exactly. there is, there is the, responsibility of an individual Christian, Alex, which is, as an individual Christian, they are people, we are people. And we have to share the gospel with him. We have to love. Love on him to the degree to share the truth with them, to tell them that they are in their sins and trespasses against God and they need to repent from it and accept the gift of God, which is Jesus Christ. That's the responsibility of an individual Christian. But as a nation, as a government, you have to completely cut all sorts of Islamic, immigration to the West. As long as this stream of Muslims pouring into the west continues, then you will, you will deal with terrorism, vehicular jihad. You will, you will, they will take advantage of they will take advantage of the social welfare of the nation. the women of that nation would be in danger. You see in England, in Sweden, in France, in Germany, how many thousands of Western supposedly Christian girls and women are being raped and groomed by the Pakistani Muslim gangs and being trafficked. It is very unfortunate. That's the result of Islam and Islamic immigration, which is a sane government, which is a government that is elected by the people to defend the people of that nation has to stop. These people have to be, this type of immigration has to be absolutely stopped. If you are coming as an immigrant, you have to prove your loyalty to that nation that is going, going to host you. If you're, if you're coming to this nation to hate it, if you're coming to this nation to overtake or, or take advantage of it or cause problem for it, or you're coming from, from another culture such as Islam to bring that culture and kind of expand it in this nation, that is, that is detrimental, that is like poison to any culture. Have you, just, just think with me, Just think with me now. If Tomorrow we have 2 million, 3 million Americans can, can go live in Pakistan, it will never happen. It will never happen because Pakistan is. No, they have a culture. They have and they will always allow 5, 10, 20, 100Americans to live there for a short period of time. But they never let their culture to be overwhelmed to the, to a point that is unrecognized. That's the problem we're seeing now in Minnesota, in Michigan, in Illinois, in NewSong York, in California, in Texas. That's what we're seeing. So the government as a responsibility of a Christian government, you have to stop all Islamic immigrations because the small pockets could assimilate. But when you bring big numbers, it will never. That's the responsibility. But I know many Christians always misunderstand the responsibility of a government and mix it up with the responsibility of an individual Christian. They would say, no God has told us we need to love this stranger. No, God told the people of a nation to love the strangers, not the governments of them. Governments are to defend the borders of another nation. And if somebody coming with a evil intent to take over to, to ruin your lives and destroy your culture. Romans 13 tells us that the government is to punish the evil doers, those Jihadis, those people that are infiltrating the government, taking advantage of the tax, tax, funded or tax paying dollars. In Minnesota, how many more daycares and how many more Medicare or Medicaid Right. And how many more fraudulent businesses you have to see established by Muslims that you understand, these people are not here to assimilate and contribute to the society. They have come to take advantage of it. That's the bottom line of it. And the government's responsibility is to bring punishment to it, to deal with it. But then we say, no, we're a Christian nation. We're a Christian. You are looking at it as an individual Christian. Yes. You need to do outreach. I do outreach, Alex. We, last year in our ministry, many people, when I speak about these things, they call me, what kind of a Christian are you? I asked them, what kind of a Christian are you? Last year in our ministry, we had 1300. 1300 Muslims forsook their, religion and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Many of them I have personally baptized. So please don't. So spare that, conversation. Spare that, virtue signaling me that somehow you're better than me. No, I love them enough to tell them the truth. But that's is an individual. That's. That's a job of a ministry. But as a government, the government needs to protect the vulnerable. The women that are being ganged and, excuse me, groomed and gang raped, God forbid. And they're bringing so much havoc to a nation. So please do not mix that up. There is an individual responsibility and there is the government's responsibility. And we have to vote as the Bible tells us to vote. We can be saying we're Christians, but we vote for the people that hate this nation, such as Ilhan Omar, such as Rashida Talib. These people are in the Congress, and so on and so forth. I can go about it.

>> Alex McFarland: Well, here's the irony is that, the Muslims, the activists like Ilhan Omar and others, and cair, they're using the tools of American freedom to eliminate American. American freedom and liberty. and folks, yeah, and this is.
