  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:02It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:10It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
  12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:37My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third.
  14. 0:39I am the host of the program.
  15. 0:42Thank you for tuning in to the show at this very moment.
  16. 0:45Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition
  17. 0:49from your part-time jobs where you generate an income
  18. 0:52to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  19. 0:55And as you do so, I want to remind you
  20. 0:57to do it with intentionality.
  21. 1:01Yes, I'm the host of the program joined
  22. 1:03by the real J. Mac, produce extraordinaire,
  23. 1:07often imitated, never duplicated.
  24. 1:10But I remind you daily about the transition
  25. 1:13from your part-time jobs to your full-time jobs
  26. 1:17in an effort to recalibrate our thought processes
  27. 1:21so that we can play significance and importance
  28. 1:25where it rightly belongs.
  29. 1:27Our world works over time to cause us to embrace the idea that what we do to generate income
  30. 1:34is what's full time.
  31. 1:37Not recognizing that outcome cultivation should be our continued and enduring commitment.
  32. 1:45Every believer is called to be a part of the Great Commission's execution.
  33. 1:51Being born again is something that God makes available to us not merely for our own personal
  34. 1:56benefit.
  35. 1:57There is great personal benefit, of course.
  36. 2:00But if the Lord has saved you and you're still breathing His oxygen on this side of eternity,
  37. 2:09that reality exists because He expects you and me to be a part of His remnant of commission
  38. 2:18fulfills.
  39. 2:19That's just the simple, simple, simple truth.
  40. 2:23And so we must commit ourselves to endeavoring to fulfill that function on a regular and a
  41. 2:33daily basis.
  42. 2:35Income generating is an important function that we have.
  43. 2:39You know, I'm a father.
  44. 2:40I keep saying to have six children, man, y'all won't believe this.
  45. 2:43All six of them, Jokers eat every day.
  46. 2:46They eat every day.
  47. 2:47They don't take breaks.
  48. 2:50I was telling them the other day, hey, this is an off day for your stomach.
  49. 2:54You know like the NBA this what you we call load management. You'll tell me need some load management
  50. 2:59They go daddy. Yeah, no I'm playing
  51. 3:04But the income generation is a vital component of what we do, but it is not synonymous with our identities
  52. 3:09And if we allow that to encroach upon our mentality we could be twisted into a wrong way of thinking
  53. 3:19Simply put what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House guys. That's just that's the facts
  54. 3:25What goes on in your house is more important.
  55. 3:28Not because the things that happen in the White House are unimportant.
  56. 3:31No, they are important, but you and I are not directly engaged and involved in those.
  57. 3:35Consequently, we are not directly responsible for all the decisions that are done at that level.
  58. 3:42But guess what we are directly responsible for?
  59. 3:44What happens in our homes?
  60. 3:45So as you are making your transition, I invite you to embrace my admonishment.
  61. 3:54you literally have the opportunity to form the future.
  62. 3:59You literally have the opportunity
  63. 4:01to shape our national future.
  64. 4:05You have an opportunity to participate in that.
  65. 4:11And so I would encourage you to take it seriously
  66. 4:14and respond appropriately.
  67. 4:17Now, I wanna have a conversation today
  68. 4:21because several things that are happening all around the world,
  69. 4:24the end of the war in Gaza only to be followed by Hamas, not immediately putting the weapons
  70. 4:39down, but exactly revenge on people who they deem to be traitors because you had some brave
  71. 4:45gazans who would dare stand up against the brutality of the murderous terrorists that are
  72. 4:51Hamas. But then we had things happening in our own country and you know sometimes people
  73. 5:01don't get into the details but it's important to note that Hamas was the Shiite front for
  74. 5:09Iran. That is the particular Islamist ideology that the Iranians adhere to and Hamas was funded
  75. 5:17funded and trained by Iran.
  76. 5:20They were the Shiite presence that terrorized Israel.
  77. 5:28And while that is happening, right?
  78. 5:30While that was happening, right in our own country,
  79. 5:32you had the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan
  80. 5:36to tell a Christian resident and citizen
  81. 5:39that he wasn't welcome.
  82. 5:44What is happening in our own country?
  83. 5:46We had Operation Twin Shield that was just executed
  84. 5:50in the St. Paul Minneapolis area that resulted in evidence,
  85. 5:59according to the reports, that nearly 50% of all migrants
  86. 6:03in the area had committed some form of immigration fraud.
  87. 6:10There they are considering electing a Muslim mayor.
  88. 6:19You know what I call the Minneapolis, oh, Omar Fatah.
  89. 6:24You have Zorran,
  90. 6:26Muhammadani in New York.
  91. 6:29New Yorkers are considering him
  92. 6:31to be the next mayor. These things are happening on our own show. What sure is what's going
  93. 6:38on here? And I want to be specific at what I'm talking about. This is the same Zoramani
  94. 6:42I played a clip this week where he refused to call for her mosque to lay down their arms.
  95. 6:50Although he had no problem tweeting that Americans needed to be deprived of the right to keep
  96. 6:58them bare arms. All Americans, all guns should be banned in all American. That's what he tweeted
  97. 7:02in 2022, had no problem calling for Americans to lay down their
  98. 7:06arms, but had a problem saying how my shit, what is going on to
  99. 7:10the word of God we go first chronicle chapter 12. This is the
  100. 7:15scripture that kind of frames, frames my thought on this point.
  101. 7:21First chronicle chapter 12, verse 32 and 33, we've talked about
  102. 7:25this passage before. This is at a pivotal time in Israel's
  103. 7:29history. This text comes to us at a pivotal time in Israel's
  104. 7:35history. And I feel like I sneeze every day every time I come
  105. 7:38on there. This is at the time where Israel literally had to decide whether or not they
  106. 7:46were going to follow the will of God, frankly, and have it David as king of all of Israel,
  107. 7:52or whether they would continue in the divided fashion because at this juncture you had the
  108. 7:57northern tribes, if you will, that were loyal to the house of Saul initially. And then you
  109. 8:02had Judah and southern tribes that were loyal to David, but it came to a point where they
  110. 8:11were potentially about to go into civil war to determine who actually would be Israel's
  111. 8:16king prospectively. And that is the context and backdrop that this passage that these two
  112. 8:22verses come to us from in the first Chronicles 12, verses 32 and 33. That is where we get
  113. 8:29the text that reads of Isakar, men who had understanding of the times to know what Israel
  114. 8:37ought to do. 200 chiefs and all their kinsmen under their command of Zebulun, 50,000 season troops
  115. 8:47equipped for battle with all the weapons of war to help David with singleness of purpose.
  116. 8:53I can throw in there, look at verse 31, where it says of the half-travelmanasa, 18,000, who were
  117. 9:00expressly named to come and make David king. You see, this is the backdrop of the passage
  118. 9:10that we're discussing. But it says of Isakar that we're men who had understanding of the
  119. 9:14times. So that's one component. Men who had understanding of the times and you have the
  120. 9:19second component. And to know what Israel ought to do. This passage provoked my thinking
  121. 9:27in this regard. Do we truly understand the times that we're living in currently? Really.
  122. 9:33Do we understand the times that we're living in?
  123. 9:38Do we recognize what's going on?
  124. 9:39Do we recognize how we got here?
  125. 9:41Do we understand the various ideologies that were proliferated by men who have long been dead
  126. 9:47now?
  127. 9:50You know, there are several books, seven men who rule the world from the grave.
  128. 9:55You know, 21 men who rule the world from the grave, these ideologies.
  129. 9:59This is why the inscription says that we cast down vain imaginations.
  130. 10:04versus its weapons of warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty.
  131. 10:08They're divinely powerful to the pulling down of the stronghold, pulling down of strongholds,
  132. 10:13casting down vain imaginations, vain loggies, miles that would dare erect itself against
  133. 10:19the knowledge of Christ.
  134. 10:22Pranicious ideology continues to bear rotten fruit.
  135. 10:30Do we understand the economic philosophies of people like John Maynard Keynes?
  136. 10:35We talk a lot on this program about Moses Mordecai, Mark's levy, but he's not the only one.
  137. 10:41You have the ideologies of the Huxley brothers, Aldous Huxley, the George Orwell was another
  138. 10:50pin name.
  139. 10:51Do we understand these ideologies?
  140. 10:57There is a pernicious effort that is certainly discussed in the terrorist realms about using
  141. 11:06America's liberties against us to infiltrate our own nation.
  142. 11:10And how do you get to a place where you have a city, according to the data we have that
  143. 11:16as of 2023, the majority of the residents in Dearborn, Michigan, or Muslim?
  144. 11:20How do you get to a place where you have a mayor who would tell a Christian resident
  145. 11:26and citizen that they're not welcome?
  146. 11:31Because this Christian citizen and resident have the audacity to say, you know what?
  147. 11:36I don't really like us renaming this street in the name of this journalist who celebrates terrorism.
  148. 11:43I don't think that's consistent with American values. I don't think that's something that I support.
  149. 11:52That's certainly not something that I support. And for in response to that statement in a public
  150. 11:59setting, the mayor says, you are not welcome here. When you move, not if when you move,
  151. 12:06I'm going to throw a parade to celebrate your moving.
  152. 12:10Do we understand the times that we're living in?
  153. 12:14Do we understand the times?
  154. 12:16I talked about the genocide that's happening in Nigeria that's been happening
  155. 12:23since 2009.
  156. 12:26Do you realize Boko Haram is attempting to establish a caliphate
  157. 12:30in Africa currently that the murder that is taking place over 100,000 people have
  158. 12:35been killed from 2009 up to about August of 2025. And 2025 alone, as of August, from
  159. 12:46January to August, over 7,000 Christians murdered for no reason other than the fact
  160. 12:51that they're Christian. Another 7,000 displaced moved from their homes. If you think about
  161. 13:00the coalescing of these details, guys, how long will it be before we have to ask questions
  162. 13:08about those types of things happening in our own country.
  163. 13:10Will we allow that to happen?
  164. 13:15You know, I'm not a Michigan resident,
  165. 13:18so I had to look it up, but Dearborn Michigan
  166. 13:22is right outside of Detroit.
  167. 13:28It's not, it's about a 20 minute drive or so,
  168. 13:34depending on traffic and things of that nature,
  169. 13:36outside of Detroit.
  170. 13:3820 some odd miles away.
  171. 13:43What is happening to our country?
  172. 13:48And I am greatly concerned that we have kind of
  173. 13:53conditioned ourselves to look for political, judicial, and legal responses to issues that
  174. 14:01are trans-partnered in our country, but we're not recognized that what God requires is church
  175. 14:07to do. The Lord said the church is the pillar and ground of truth. We have a vital role to play
  176. 14:23in contributing to and creating the type of culture that is in our country. When I say we,
  177. 14:27I'm talking about Christ followers.
  178. 14:30But what is largely happening is the deficiency
  179. 14:35in the Great Commission being executed, unfortunately.
  180. 14:39I prayed that the Lord would grace us
  181. 14:43with men who understand the times that we're living in.
  182. 14:46But not only that, but would know what we ought to do.
  183. 14:51Anchored by the love of God, eternity based
  184. 14:55and biblically fortified to engage for His glory.
  185. 15:00As Christians were called to be salt and light to the world,
  186. 15:03to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
  187. 15:07One of the simplest but most powerful ways
  188. 15:09we can live out our faith in public life is by voting.
  189. 15:13Whether it's local school boards or national leaders,
  190. 15:15the people we elect shape our communities
  191. 15:17and determine our future.

  196. 15:29Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  197. 15:41Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
  198. 15:44I'm delighted to have on the program with me a guest who is a friend, a brother in the
  199. 15:50faith, a man of God, a bold warrior for Christ, willing to say the hard things, man, and to
  200. 15:59take the slings that flow from that.
  201. 16:01I'm speaking none other than my brother, Israel Wayne,
  202. 16:04who is an author, a conference speaker who has a passion
  203. 16:07for defending the Christian faith
  204. 16:08and promoting a biblical worldview.
  205. 16:11He is the site editor for Christianworldview.net
  206. 16:13and the founder of Family Renewal.
  207. 16:16And of his books, I just wanna mention several of the books
  208. 16:18that he's written that have been blessings to untold thousands,
  209. 16:22if not more people, but my family in particular.
  210. 16:26Questions God asks is one of his books.
  211. 16:29Questions Jesus asks is one of his books.
  212. 16:31another one. Pitching a fit, overcoming angry and stressed out parenting is another book.
  213. 16:37Education does God have an opinion is another book. Tremendous blessing. I've recommended
  214. 16:41that book to our audience here numerous times before. Another answers for homeschooling.
  215. 16:47Top 25 questions critics ask. It's another one of his books, Raising Them Up Parenting
  216. 16:53for Christians. It's another book he's written. Foundations in Faith is another book. It's
  217. 16:58It's one of the books that we've used to help to communicate a biblical worldview to our
  218. 17:03own children.
  219. 17:04When I say we, I'm talking about Maria myself, for our family.
  220. 17:08He's also written foundational truths, which is a wonderful, wonderful book.
  221. 17:13It's a modern catechism that will aid you in establishing your children in the Christian
  222. 17:18faith and rearing them in the nurturing administers of the Lord.
  223. 17:22And among all of those things, my brother is also a resident of the state of Michigan.
  224. 17:29Israel Wayne, thank you for joining me here on the program.
  225. 17:32I hate it's always great to talk with you.
  226. 17:34I always enjoy it.
  227. 17:35Thank you.
  228. 17:36Oh man, it's a pleasure for me.
  229. 17:38It's always encouraging and strengthening, convicting.
  230. 17:42It's just helpful all along.
  231. 17:45So I'd love to have you on as often as I can.
  232. 17:49I wanted to have you on a particular because I've just, I've been, you know, stirred and
  233. 17:54troubled by things that are happening.
  234. 17:56Like you, you have the, the end of the war in Israel, sorry in Gaza, uh, that was announced,
  235. 18:03but that immediately was followed by Hamas coming out of the tunnels and executing people
  236. 18:08they say were collaborators, you know, with Israel.
  237. 18:11And I thought it was supposed to be ceasing fire, but their fire has continued, uh, uh,
  238. 18:18after. You know, you have the right now and a lot of people are talking about New York
  239. 18:24City, but you have, I call them Minneapolis, Omar Fatah, who's running for mayor in the
  240. 18:30Twin Cities area that came on the back of Operation Twin Shield to where based upon the
  241. 18:35reports by the federal law enforcement officials there, nearly half of the migrants in the area
  242. 18:41were alleged perpetrators of immigration fraud. And then you have, and I'm about to play
  243. 18:46clip of this that the recent issue in Dearborn, Michigan, where the mayor told a citizen who
  244. 18:56is purportedly a Christian that because he dared publicly object to naming of streets after
  245. 19:04Osama Siblani, who was a reporter and others who, according to the public information,
  246. 19:10that he kind of supports terrorism. And the citizen is like, I don't think we should name
  247. 19:14streets after this kind of guy and the mayor, Dearborn's mayor said, you are not welcome in
  248. 19:19this city. These kind of things have been percolating in my heart. And while we're watching,
  249. 19:25for example, the genocide that's transpiring right now in Nigeria, where over 100,000 Christians
  250. 19:31have been killed since 2009 up to August of this year. These things are kind of coalescing
  251. 19:38in my mind and my heart. It's like, what is going on? There are things happening internationally,
  252. 19:42with the things happening domestically. I want to first start our conversation by getting you to
  253. 19:46react to this clip of Dearborn's Mayor telling Ted Barham that he's not welcome in the city.
  254. 19:55Clip one, Jeff. Go.
  255. 19:57I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in Beirut and including many Americans. So
  256. 20:05I just feel it's quite inappropriate.
  257. 20:07You are an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor,
  258. 20:11You're not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city, well with the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city.
  259. 20:18Because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence.
  260. 20:21Wow. I mean as a Christian, as a father, husband, and as a citizen of the state of Michigan, what's your reaction to that video, man?
  261. 20:31That didn't sound too tolerant. That didn't sound like coexist to me.
  262. 20:36I don't hear, I bet that guy doesn't have a coexist bumper sticker.
  263. 20:40Yeah, that's Mayor Abdullah Hamoud there of Dearborn.
  264. 20:45And for people who don't know, Dearborn is the western suburb of Detroit,
  265. 20:50just a little ways outside of downtown.
  266. 20:52And it's one of the first suburbs that you come to if you head west out of Detroit.
  267. 20:56And has really had a long history of becoming Islamic.
  268. 21:00and today is on par, you know, as far as population density of being, you know, getting close to the same kind of Muslim population of some of the Islamic countries in the Middle East.
  269. 21:15And so it really is an amazing situation there, but increasingly they're making it clear that Christians are not welcome and dearborn, at least not Bible believing evangelical Christians who will speak out about their faith.
  270. 21:29I want to dig into that a little bit.
  271. 21:32And as what you can, I'm not asking you to do anything beyond what you have available and
  272. 21:38accessible to you.
  273. 21:39But when you say Bible believing evangelical Christians that will actually believe, that
  274. 21:45actually believe the Bible and obey the Bible, they're increasingly unwelcome in Dearborn.
  275. 21:53How has that been demonstrated?
  276. 21:56Yeah, well, you know, you have these ecumenical churches, you know, that are kind of the the typical
  277. 22:02Leadership that you find in a lot of these ecumenical city gatherings where you have the imam and the orthodox
  278. 22:08leaders and the Roman Catholic priests and they all sit up there and shake hands and talk about peace and love and you know
  279. 22:13All that kind of stuff those kinds of things are allowed and you know
  280. 22:18They're allowed to exist in Dearborn as long as everybody keeps their faith very private
  281. 22:24but historically in Dearborn within the last 15 years,
  282. 22:29if you go into the city evangelizing and proselytizing,
  283. 22:32as they call it, sharing your faith publicly,
  284. 22:35especially at Islamic events,
  285. 22:37there's videos that you can search on YouTube
  286. 22:40and just type in Dearborn, Michigan, stoning.
  287. 22:43And you will see Christian evangelists
  288. 22:47who have been attempted to be stoned to death
  289. 22:50by mobs in Dearborn.
  290. 22:52And when the police come in, they basically threaten and warn the Christians to stay out of the city and to stop going in there evangelizing, because they know they're outnumbered.
  291. 23:04Right? And so there's kind of a long history of how Islam has grown. And I'd be glad to get into that a little bit with the city of Dearborn.
  292. 23:12But it's gotten to the point now where 55% of the population of Dearborn is Muslim.
  293. 23:20And so the police have kind of allowed the city Muslims to kind of regulate their own culture there.
  294. 23:28And so as long as they're kind of regulating the streets, the police kind of step back and allow that to happen.
  295. 23:38And so, yeah, if you go in there, especially at a Muslim holy week or something like that,
  296. 23:44you're very likely going to be arrested, partly for your own safety, but warned not to go back
  297. 23:50in.
  298. 23:51I do want to get into that.
  299. 23:53I mean, because we've heard about these, you know, Islamic no-go zones and the cities
  300. 23:59in the UK and certain cities in the UK, we've heard of those things.
  301. 24:04But for many people who are watching and listening now, this is the first they've ever heard of
  302. 24:09having an American city that has become a no-go zone for Christians, that there is a place
  303. 24:15in the land of the free and the home of the brave where Christians can't go and share their
  304. 24:20faith.
  305. 24:21Would you share with us a bit about basically the Islamization of Dearborn and including
  306. 24:29really as much as we can, the particular theological intonation of the kind of shite
  307. 24:36presence in the city.
  308. 24:37Yeah, so it really goes back to Henry Ford who built the automobile.
  309. 24:42So he first established his first manufacturing plant in Detroit in Dearborn area about 1903,
  310. 24:49started building the Model T in 1908.
  311. 24:52World War I was about 1914 to 1918.
  312. 24:56In 1914, he established a $5 a day hiring policy, where you could come work for him for $5 a
  313. 25:05day.
  314. 25:06That was a lot of money back in the beginning of World War I, and people were not doing well
  315. 25:09economically, and so that was a big draw.
  316. 25:12And that's when people first started coming from the Middle East.
  317. 25:15A lot of Arabs began moving to work for Henry Ford in Dearborn.
  318. 25:22The thing that's kind of a sad part of the history that a lot of people don't know is
  319. 25:26that Henry Ford was a very outspoken anti-Semite.
  320. 25:31In fact, the year the World War I ended in 1918, he bought a Dearborn newspaper called The Dearborn
  321. 25:37Independent.
  322. 25:39From 1918 to 1927, he ran that publication.
  323. 25:44They got sued for libel in 2007 and had to shut down.
  324. 25:48Particularly in like 1920 to 1922, he ran a series of anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic articles
  325. 25:55that were talking about the international Jewish problem. And this is not conspiracy theory,
  326. 26:02this is widely acknowledged. In fact, if you look at the Henry Ford Museum, which is in Detroit,
  327. 26:08their website has a whole article about it. Like they're very public about this is kind of a
  328. 26:13sad part of his history that people don't know.
  329. 26:15And so this anti-Semitic culture that he created
  330. 26:19where he would try not to hire Jews,
  331. 26:22he would discriminate against them
  332. 26:23in the employment process,
  333. 26:26created a culture within Dearborn
  334. 26:29that was conducive to being anti-Semitic.
  335. 26:33In fact, even the Nazis in 1938 gave Henry Ford an award
  336. 26:39for being this forward thinking person and so forth.
  337. 26:42So there's kind of a sordid anti-Semitic basis
  338. 26:47for why so many of these Arabs came to the Detroit area.
  339. 26:52But of course, they're looking for jobs.
  340. 26:55There was a lot of unrest in different places,
  341. 26:58a lot of internal, even Islamic civil war
  342. 27:01that's happening in different countries.
  343. 27:041938 was when they built the first Islamic center
  344. 27:07in Dearborn.
  345. 27:09And that Islamic presence has spread really rapidly,
  346. 27:14even in the last 30 years,
  347. 27:16to where now in the Detroit metro area,
  348. 27:19there's at least 55 different Islamic centers and mosques
  349. 27:23in the Detroit metro area.
  350. 27:25So it is increasingly dominant,
  351. 27:28and you had these waves of immigration that came in,
  352. 27:321967 when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict happened,
  353. 27:35there was like a Lebanese civil war.
  354. 27:38you had these different waves of immigration that took place.
  355. 27:421975, there was a Lebanese Civil War.
  356. 27:46But then another thing that happened during the 60s and 70s,
  357. 27:50particularly the 70s, is as manufacturing began to cool,
  358. 27:54you had what was called white flight from the city of Detroit,
  359. 27:58where white Caucasian families left downtown.
  360. 28:02Intercity Detroit went to a lot of the northern, somewhat
  361. 28:07Western suburbs and settled in the cities.
  362. 28:11And so in the 1970s moving forward,
  363. 28:14that created a situation where you had gangs
  364. 28:18that began to form in Detroit.
  365. 28:21And so people became very concerned
  366. 28:23about gang warfare, that type of thing.
  367. 28:271990, the first city council Arabic,
  368. 28:32city councilwoman was elected in Dearborn.
  369. 28:36And so they started to actually get a voice in the government, starting in 1990.
  370. 28:41And it was really the 1990s, the 2000s was when the gang activity was probably the strongest.
  371. 28:48And increasingly, it's hard to say this out loud because there's two narratives.
  372. 28:55There's the official narrative that you look up and then there's the Michigan narrative.
  373. 28:58So when you live in Michigan and you talk to people in Michigan and we kind of know how things go,
  374. 29:03You know, you'll get in a narrative, but then if you go look at the filtered narrative through the media, you get a different narrative. So,
  375. 29:11well, we want the real Michigan narrative.
  376. 29:14There's a Michigan narrative. If you ask Google, is there Sharia law in Dearborn, Michigan? It will say no.
  377. 29:22There is no kind of Sharia law that happens in Dearborn, Michigan. In many ways, that's true.
  378. 29:27But there is an increasingly functional type of Sharia law that happens that's not official.
  379. 29:36So an example of this would be that as of this month, as of October 2025, you get five calls to prayer per day in Dearborn over the mega speakers, the loudspeakers at these Islamic centers.
  380. 29:55And the first one starts at 5.30 AM.
  381. 30:00We played audio of citizens in the area complaining
  382. 30:03about it violating the noise ordinances.
  383. 30:05And it does violate the noise ordinance.
  384. 30:07From 10 at 10 o'clock PM, 7 o'clock AM,
  385. 30:10you are not supposed to have any kind of noise.
  386. 30:13So during the day, there's questions about decibel level.
  387. 30:15Is it too loud?
  388. 30:16You know, some of that's questionable.
  389. 30:18But this 5.30 AM, complete violation of city ordinance.
  390. 30:22No questions about it.
  391. 30:24And yet it happens.
  392. 30:25And that's what I'm saying.
  393. 30:26There's a functional sharia that happens at Dearborn.
  394. 30:29You know, the aspect of, you know, if you Google and say,
  395. 30:32are Christians being arrested for evangelizing in Dearborn?
  396. 30:36Google's going to tell you no.
  397. 30:39Functionally, yeah, it happens.
  398. 30:41And so there's a sense in which they have increasingly
  399. 30:45gained power and crime, particularly gang crime,
  400. 30:50dropped really dramatically in like the 2010s and forward.
  401. 30:53In fact, I've read some articles that say that they have violent crime that's decreased
  402. 30:59at about a 7% per year rate in recent years in Dearborn.
  403. 31:05Why is that?
  404. 31:06Well, that's because the Muslims are policing themselves and the official police kind of
  405. 31:12step back and they let the powers that be, the Muslim powers that be in the city, kind
  406. 31:18of police themselves.
  407. 31:19So Dearborn in the 2010s and 2020s, they start pushing the gang activity back into downtown
  408. 31:26Detroit.
  409. 31:28And so it became something that was a bit of a handshake deal, if you will.
  410. 31:32Again, this is not official.
  411. 31:34You're not going to find any official publications that tell you this.
  412. 31:37I'm just saying this is Michigan Word on the street.
  413. 31:40When you live here, you know how this goes down, that they're basically like, Hey, look
  414. 31:43at the results.
  415. 31:45you know, city crimes going down, gang activities going down.
  416. 31:49Dearborn is within its own structure,
  417. 31:53its own kind of Islamic structure.
  418. 31:55It's kind of policing the,
  419. 31:56they're policing their own streets.
  420. 31:58Let me break in here because the disrespectful music is
  421. 32:00started, we have to take a break.
  422. 32:01But what you're describing is a de facto sharia
  423. 32:05as opposed to a du jour sharia.
  424. 32:07Correct.
  425. 32:08And that the handshake deal is,
  426. 32:10well, you guys got rid of the gangs.
  427. 32:13So we'll kind of let you run your own kind of Islamic fiefdom and we'll wink and we'll nod.
  428. 32:18It's not official Sharia, but as you said, it's a functional Sharia.
  429. 32:23And Michiganders, understand that.
  430. 32:30I'm very concerned about the current young adult Christian fiction genre.
  431. 32:34I read or started reading over two dozen Christian-Wai novels.
  432. 32:38Many never mentioned Jesus and many had empty or confusing Christian allegories.
  433. 32:43How can we offer our children real hope when we are simply repackaging what the world offers?
  434. 32:49Let's look to our Creator God to help us write better stories.
  435. 32:54Find the full article Read Am I Way by me, Joy Loosius, on the Stand.net.
  436. 33:04The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrence are available at efr.net.
  437. 33:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  438. 33:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton III here.
  439. 33:18My guest is Israel Wayne, author, conference speaker found where a family renewal, you can
  440. 33:22find his books, his speaking schedule.
  441. 33:26You can find all of that information at familyrenewald.org.
  442. 33:30You can also find the speaking schedule in particular by going to Israelwayne.com.
  443. 33:35This brother is a blessing to the body of Christ.
  444. 33:37Before we went to the break, Israel, you were sharing that you have the official narrative,
  445. 33:43But people who live in Michigan, they know that what's happening in Dearborn, for example,
  446. 33:48is nowhere near what the official narrative is.
  447. 33:50So I want to invite you to continue your explanation in that regard.
  448. 33:54Yeah.
  449. 33:56Well, there's another city on the east side of Detroit.
  450. 33:58So if you leave Detroit proper and you go east, like one of the first cities that you
  451. 34:02run into is a little town called Hamtract.
  452. 34:04It's only 20,000 population.
  453. 34:08Dearborn's about 105,000 today, something like that.
  454. 34:11So it's much smaller.
  455. 34:12But they estimate that the Islamic population of Hamtrak might actually be up to 60% whereas
  456. 34:19Dearborn's about 55% Hamtrak because they have these Bangladeshi and Yemeni immigrants
  457. 34:24that have moved there might be 60%.
  458. 34:27And so an example of kind of a soft Sharia is if you go to downtown Hamtrak, you're not
  459. 34:33going to find Burger King and Wendy's and these kind of food establishments.
  460. 34:39It's halal food.
  461. 34:40So is it a loud, loud, loud, approved foods that don't include pork and so forth?
  462. 34:46Those are the businesses that are going to be able to thrive in the area because of the
  463. 34:50population that they serve.
  464. 34:52And so what happens is culturally, there's a functional type of Islam and sharia that
  465. 34:59begins to to pervade.
  466. 35:02And so they often talk about how Detroit is a great melting pot.
  467. 35:06but I'll tell you what, there are these in moms
  468. 35:09who are not tolerant.
  469. 35:11I will say this, we should be very careful to say this.
  470. 35:13A lot of people fled to Detroit area
  471. 35:16to flee Islamic persecution.
  472. 35:19You know, they lived in these places
  473. 35:22where they lived under that totalitarian regime
  474. 35:25of Islamofascism.
  475. 35:26Kind of like Hamas.
  476. 35:27They didn't like it.
  477. 35:28Yeah, they didn't like it.
  478. 35:29They didn't want it.
  479. 35:30They got away from it, right?
  480. 35:32But there are a lot of in moms
  481. 35:34who have this extremist rhetoric.
  482. 35:38In fact, in September, there was this rally that happened
  483. 35:41in Dearborn where 40,000 people got together
  484. 35:47to celebrate an Islamic festival.
  485. 35:50And there were chants last year at a festival
  486. 35:54of death to Israel, death to America in 2024.
  487. 35:59And there's this extremist rhetoric that goes out
  488. 36:02at some of these very large Islamic gatherings.
  489. 36:05And the imams will not only not condemn it,
  490. 36:09they sort of tacitly support it.
  491. 36:11And some of them very openly and overtly support it.
  492. 36:15And so it's scary.
  493. 36:16When you see 40,000 people gathered and they're angry
  494. 36:20and they're shouting death to America, death to Israel,
  495. 36:26within our own American soil, that becomes very disturbing.
  496. 36:29It's very problematic.
  497. 36:31And that's why I wanted to have this conversation,
  498. 36:35because I've had people on,
  499. 36:39I forgot the sister's name she's been on the show,
  500. 36:42she often talks about,
  501. 36:44it doesn't take a majority to be terrorists.
  502. 36:49It doesn't take a majority,
  503. 36:50it's always the minority that pushes
  504. 36:53in that particular direction.
  505. 36:55And you have the effort to establish Epic City
  506. 36:58in North Dallas that they've come out right.
  507. 37:02This is, they want this to be a Muslim city,
  508. 37:05a Muslim neighborhood, and you have Governor Abbott
  509. 37:09in Texas stepping in at a relatively late stage
  510. 37:13in that development.
  511. 37:14But it is concerning when you see what's happening
  512. 37:17contemporarily, and then if you have any awareness
  513. 37:21of studying history, when you see, well, when you have
  514. 37:25a kind of a Muslim population established.
  515. 37:28It's peaceful initially, but there's a progression that,
  516. 37:33it's kind of a radicalization progression.
  517. 37:36And then next thing you know,
  518. 37:40there's a Hamas type effort happening in a locale.
  519. 37:42And so my concern is, are we witnessing a similar phenomenon
  520. 37:45happening right here in our own nation?
  521. 37:47We are.
  522. 37:48We mentioned Dearborn, we mentioned Amtrak.
  523. 37:49We are. We are.
  524. 37:51Minneapolis, absolutely, all of it.
  525. 37:53Yeah. And you know, you look at Detroit,
  526. 37:55They have 15 to 20 Islamic schools for K-12.
  527. 37:59And in these schools, I mean, they are teaching Islamic religion culture.
  528. 38:04And the influence of evangelical Christians is just diminishing and diminishing.
  529. 38:08I mean, they're only a handful of evangelical Christian schools in the Detroit suburbs and
  530. 38:16the Detroit area than there are Islamic K-12 schools.
  531. 38:20And so, these are immensely problematic issues.
  532. 38:24Wow, wow.
  533. 38:26Something we have not touched on yet,
  534. 38:28and if you want to go here now,
  535. 38:30what is the influence of the nation of Islam in this area?
  536. 38:34Yeah, so they have their annual Savior's Day convention,
  537. 38:38often in Detroit, the last one in 2024,
  538. 38:41had over 20,000 attendance.
  539. 38:43And what I think a lot of blacks don't understand
  540. 38:46about nation of Islam is that Islam traditionally
  541. 38:50is not the friend of the black person.
  542. 38:53for a lot of African Americans,
  543. 38:55they've never studied the Arabic slave trade.
  544. 38:58Yeah.
  545. 38:59And you can just Google that.
  546. 39:00And you'll be surprised
  547. 39:01of the history you didn't get in the public school.
  548. 39:03Well, it's a fact that the European slave traders
  549. 39:06learned the trade from the Arab slave traders.
  550. 39:10I mean, it is a fact that is the trans-Saharan slave trade
  551. 39:15is what precipitated the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
  552. 39:17That's just, that's an objective fact of history.
  553. 39:22Absolutely.
  554. 39:23Yeah, and it was much more brutal.
  555. 39:24The Arabic slave trade was far more brutal
  556. 39:26than the European slave trade.
  557. 39:28Not that any slavery is good, right?
  558. 39:30But comparatively, it was worse.
  559. 39:31And so, these black Americans are being co-opted
  560. 39:35by the nation of Islam and believing that somehow
  561. 39:38Islamic is fundamentally sympathetic to black people.
  562. 39:41It is not.
  563. 39:42It's not true.
  564. 39:43It is absolutely false.
  565. 39:45And so, Louis Farrakhan and nation of Islam,
  566. 39:47why they've succeeded in Detroit is because of the failure
  567. 39:51of the black church in Detroit to be masculine.
  568. 39:55I just said that on the radio.
  569. 39:57Unpack that, it's Israel.
  570. 39:59But basically what's happened is you have an emasculated,
  571. 40:03prosperity gospel driven church in Detroit.
  572. 40:09I'm not saying every church, but I'm saying on the average,
  573. 40:13young men don't wanna join those churches,
  574. 40:15full of grandmas and mamas.
  575. 40:17There's nothing masculine or male about it.
  576. 40:19And so what they've seen in the nation of Islam
  577. 40:23is they've seen a culture where they're taught respect,
  578. 40:25they're taught discipline, they're taught order,
  579. 40:30regimentation, and it appeals to a lot
  580. 40:33of the young black males.
  581. 40:34And so nation of Islam has been very successful
  582. 40:37in cities like Detroit, Indianapolis, other places like that.
  583. 40:40And so they have been growing,
  584. 40:44whereas the American evangelical black church
  585. 40:47has been decreasing.
  586. 40:48And it's because we have gotten away from the gospel
  587. 40:52and have preached a soft gospel or a prosperity gospel.
  588. 40:56That is not selling to young males today.
  589. 40:59And we have seen the breakdown of the black family
  590. 41:03in Detroit.
  591. 41:03And so you don't have strong father-led family culture
  592. 41:08that is one of the strongest pushbacks against gang activity,
  593. 41:12incarceration, all of those kinds of things.
  594. 41:15And the American Christian church
  595. 41:17has not been the prophetic voice that we've needed to be,
  596. 41:21calling men to manhood.
  597. 41:23And so things have come in and filled that void.
  598. 41:27And unfortunately, you have whole generations
  599. 41:30of black Americans who have been targeted
  600. 41:33by groups like Planned Parenthood,
  601. 41:35just trying to kill off the black culture.
  602. 41:38And you've done shows on Margaret Sanger before,
  603. 41:41the eugenics movement.
  604. 41:42That was an intentional part of Planned Parenthood
  605. 41:44was killing off black families.
  606. 41:47And so, you know, the solution to this is that we have to have a return, of course, to biblical Christianity, to biblical family structure,
  607. 41:56and getting families to be solidified so that we teach our children the truth and don't just keep having our Christian children converting over to Islam because it looks cool.
  608. 42:08And I know you personally, so I know your heart.
  609. 42:11So when you say things like the black church,
  610. 42:14you know, as well as I know,
  611. 42:15there's no black church or white church,
  612. 42:16but you're talking about the church
  613. 42:18of the living God in these urban areas
  614. 42:20that's predominantly populated,
  615. 42:21you know, by, you know, Americans of African ancestry.
  616. 42:26You know, that's just the reality, you know?
  617. 42:29And one of the major...
  618. 42:30And there's some good ones.
  619. 42:31Yeah, oh, there's some good ones.
  620. 42:32I wanna be clear about that.
  621. 42:33I don't wanna get phone calls from my friends in Detroit
  622. 42:34who's like, hey, you just threw us under the bus.
  623. 42:36I wasn't talking about you.
  624. 42:37But it's the hit dogs that holler.
  625. 42:43You mentioned about, and this is something that's infecting and affecting the body of
  626. 42:48Christ at large and every demographic really, the unwillingness to embrace God's design for
  627. 42:55the family.
  628. 42:56One of the major things is fertility rates.
  629. 43:00We've talked about on this show, the demographic winter is exemplified by what's happening in
  630. 43:05in Europe and in Japan, but the same phenomenon is happening here.
  631. 43:11Would you just speak a bit to frankly a rejection of a biblical worldview as it pertains to
  632. 43:16God's view of family and children in particular?
  633. 43:19Yeah, when you look at the fertility rate in the United States as of 2024, it's 1.6.
  634. 43:24You have to have a 2.1 to sustain your population.
  635. 43:28It's the lowest fertility rate we've ever had in the United States.
  636. 43:31And you look among different demographic groups among white Caucasian non-Hispanic women.
  637. 43:37It's like 1.56, so it's lower than that.
  638. 43:41When you look at Muslim women in the United States, it's about 2.2.
  639. 43:45Internationally Muslim women are about 2.9, 3.1.
  640. 43:50And so Muslims are out-populating other demographic groups.
  641. 43:56Hispanic, Latino birth rates are going down all around the world.
  642. 44:00in the United States, there's so much emphasis from UNESCO and UN on population control, they've
  643. 44:06really targeted a lot of Latin America countries, so populations going down there.
  644. 44:11But Islam is growing and they know that population is a big part of how they grow their religion.
  645. 44:16So evangelical Christians have been part of the problem in slowing their birth rate.
  646. 44:20Now thank God, I think that it's about a 2.2 birth rate among evangelical Christian
  647. 44:25women, but still that's just like what that much above the sustainability rate.
  648. 44:31And so, you know, we need to see again, all Christian families adhering to a biblical worldview
  649. 44:37as it relates to family structure and family culture and churches are made up of families,
  650. 44:42but churches call families to be families.
  651. 44:46Churches teach families how to disciple their children or they're supposed to.
  652. 44:50And in general, the American church hasn't thought that and we're reaping the negative
  653. 44:54consequences of that.
  654. 44:55Yeah, I've talked about it before,
  655. 44:57one of the strangest things,
  656. 45:00and it still happens that, you know,
  657. 45:01as I travel with my wife and children,
  658. 45:02you've met my wife, you've met my children.
  659. 45:05People want to segregate me from my children, you know?
  660. 45:09Oh, you sure you wanna be your children?
  661. 45:10I'm like, yes, I love my children,
  662. 45:12and I wanna worship the Lord with my children present, you know?
  663. 45:15And I was like, oh, you sure you wanna do that?
  664. 45:17And it's like, yes!
  665. 45:18That it's like a radical concept to say,
  666. 45:21listen, the Bible teaches that it's my job
  667. 45:23my children's father to lead in evangelizing and in discipling my own children and the gasps
  668. 45:29I still get in different places like, are you serious?
  669. 45:34Yes.
  670. 45:35But the lack of understanding that has contributed in my view to this kind of chasm that it
  671. 45:41seems an Islamic disposition is seemingly infiltrating and supplanting here in our own nation.
  672. 45:49Yeah.
  673. 45:50think about what sells right now among young males in particular in the United States.
  674. 45:55We have a resurgence of interest in Christianity among young Gen Z males. They want to get married.
  675. 46:02They want to have children. They're starting to go back to church. They have an interest
  676. 46:06in Christianity. It's growing among Gen Z males. It's decreasing, unfortunately, among
  677. 46:10Gen Z females, which is sad. But these young men, they want something masculine. And so
  678. 46:15So we have to represent to this culture a masculine Christianity, which Christianity
  679. 46:22is respectful of women.
  680. 46:25It is probably it elevates women more than any other religion in the world.
  681. 46:29So it's not at the exclusion of women, but it's simply saying we need masculine women
  682. 46:34so that we can protect our women.
  683. 46:37Yeah, I know that we need masculine women.
  684. 46:39Yeah, we don't even ask them women.
  685. 46:41We need masculine men so that we can protect our women and so that we can protect our families.
  686. 46:45and help them to thrive.
  687. 46:47And I think the American church has been afraid to say that.
  688. 46:51And we've seen the, again, going back to Detroit,
  689. 46:55I mean, hey, the white evangelical churches
  690. 46:58fled to the suburbs and abandoned the city, abandoned it.
  691. 47:02And they don't go down there and they don't reach out
  692. 47:04and they're not missionable and they're not evangelistic.
  693. 47:06They are comfortably secluded
  694. 47:09and they're very wealthy upper middle class suburban churches
  695. 47:13where they sing to the choir.
  696. 47:15And the church as a whole has to do better.
  697. 47:18We have just not as a church represented Christ well
  698. 47:23in the city of Detroit.
  699. 47:25And Islam, they have filled that void.
  700. 47:29And that's to our shame.
  701. 47:30I mean, we have, I think the American church
  702. 47:32to blame for that, both the suburban and urban churches
  703. 47:37have really failed there in different ways.
  704. 47:41So in some, the only way forward really is to get back
  705. 47:46to Bible basics, but what used to be viewed as probably exclusively a foreign mission phenomenon.
  706. 47:54We now have a domestic application in places like you mentioned Dearborn and Hamtrack and
  707. 48:02Minneapolis and St. Paul and Indianapolis and urban areas across the country for sure.
  708. 48:11It seems simple, but that doesn't make it easy.
  709. 48:13Did I oversimplify the remedy?
  710. 48:15Well, Brother Andrew who wrote the book God Smuggler, I heard him speak before he died,
  711. 48:20and he said, God will not allow this generation of Muslims to be unavangelized.
  712. 48:26You can either go to them or God will bring them to you.
  713. 48:29He says, if God brings to you, you may not like how that looks in terms of how it changes
  714. 48:35your culture, but we have an opportunity.
