0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:33Good evening, everyone.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton.
0:37The third joined by the corner contingent right across from me.
0:41My man 100 grand, but you might want to call him today.
0:43Jeff can go slim.
0:45Check him out over there.
0:46Can go slim came though.
0:49None other than Mr. Bobby.
0:51R.S.I.E.L.T.Y.ll. You gonna play with them if you want. The temperature gets to drop certain
0:59degrees in below. Count on Mr. Rosa to bus out the kango. The screening room we have produced
1:08extraordinaire. And often imitated never duplicated. You might call him a meanie but he got his
1:14winter beanie on. Hey, you gotta keep the lid, you know,
1:22Fairly insulated.
1:24Yeah, you know, I'm just, you know, I've, I've, I've, I've opted for the industry option
1:32on this fine evening fellows.
1:34At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
1:39part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate
1:43an outcome.
1:44And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so within tensionality, understanding the
1:49in the primacy that God places on family
1:52and recognizing the reality
1:57that we will not outpace deficiencies
2:00that abound in the home,
2:04that we ignore and neglect, sideline
2:07and even some instances marginalize family
2:10to our own detriment.
2:12We have to come to grips with the reality
2:14and this is something that I've been pondering
2:15and wrestling with in my own mind and heart
2:18and communicating with people about
2:21with the state that the family is in currently,
2:24where the majority of children who are being born now
2:27and they're various stats demographically,
2:31but the trend is the same regardless of demographic breakdown.
2:35Well, you have increasing quantities of children
2:38that are being born into homes
2:39where the father primarily,
2:42or even some instances, the mother of the child
2:44are not living in the home in which the child
2:47is being reared over the course of their lives.
2:49The younger people are saying things like they want to have children but have no concept for
2:55marriage.
2:59Guys that is where we are.
3:01But it is coming upon us who are members of the eternal family of God that we in many ways
3:06we lead generally speaking.
3:08But one of the particular ways that we lead is that we lead in embracing the exclusive human
3:14institution that God made and describes in his word as a lustricative of Christ's relationship
3:20with his bride.
3:21is not another, to say that in a different way, in a more simplified manner, guys marriage
3:28is a big deal. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. So with all that's happening all around
3:34the world. And I've mentioned before, we got the monitor right here that scours the world
3:39in the nation with all kinds of things. You know, even, you know, the world is awakening
3:43to the fact that, um, you know, that old thing called the Affordable Care Act, it was never
3:48affordable. Oh, in fact, it was never meant to be affordable. Even and let me just say this and I
3:56think this is the best way to frame this issue. People who say, Oh, Congress needs to do something
4:01because prop because healthcare, premiums, health insurance, premiums are skyrocketing facts,
4:06folks know they aren't the healthcare premiums are not changing at all. You know what's changing?
4:13The amount of money taxpayers would spend towards your premium so that you
4:17you AKA or should I say ACA adherence,
4:21Puyado pocket, a great way to understand this hypothetical.
4:25Let's talk about gas, right?
4:26Let's say gas is $5 a gallon.
4:29That's the cost.
4:30But the Congress has passed the statute that says,
4:33well, you know what?
4:34The taxpayers will pay $250 per gallon
4:37of each gallon of gas that's spent
4:39so that at the pump, all that people pay is $2.50.
4:44So if the government happened to set the legislation
4:50to allow the gasoline subsidies to expire,
4:55when those subsidies expire,
4:56has the price of a gallon of gas changed?
5:02No, ladies and gentlemen, all that has changed
5:06is the amount that the federal government
5:09would charge the taxpayer for the gallon of gas.
5:14Guys, that's what's happened.
5:15The issue here, the issue here is not what Congress has done now.
5:20It's that Obamacare was passed in the first place.
5:23And the issue here, if you want to lay something at the feet of the Republicans,
5:26because the Democrats passed Obamacare.
5:28And guess what Republicans did when they had majorities and had the opportunity to do so,
5:31they failed to repeal it.
5:36So let's be clear.
5:39No doubt, Democrats shut down.
5:41No doubt, the ACA is what caused all of these problems.
5:46Premiums are not skyrocketing on people,
5:47just the taxpayer contributions
5:51to the health insurance premiums are just going.
5:54And they're not even going away totally,
5:56that's the other thing people need to realize.
5:57They're not going away totally,
5:58they're just being reduced from what?
6:04The Biden administration got passed.
6:08This is why we need to understand what's going on.
6:11With that being said, to the word of God we go,
6:13because remember what goes on in your house
6:15is far more important than what goes on in the White House.
6:18Make sure you explain that to your friends
6:19family members and your loved ones that premiums help the cost for health insurance has gone
6:25up and it's all because of Obamacare. But with these people saying that, oh,
6:28premium is going to skyrocket on people. And that's not what's happening. All is happening.
6:31The premiums are what they have been. But the federal government subsidies creating that, oh,
6:37I don't know, 40 billion plus slash fund for the insurance companies. That is what's happening.
6:46To the word of God, we go Proverbs chapter 14. Proverbs chapter 14 verse 23. One verse.
6:52this evening.
6:53Man, the Word of God is so rich and so profound.
6:58The Lord says to us through His Word,
6:59Proverbs up to 14, verse 23,
7:01In all labor, there is profit.
7:06But mere talk leads only to poverty.
7:12Read that one again.
7:13In all labor, there is profit.
7:16But mere talk leads only to poverty.
7:22This portion of scripture is affirming the biblical truth
7:27that work is a blessing.
7:31It's a blessing.
7:32In fact, some have said,
7:33well, I know in the reality of work
7:35that happened following the rebellion in the garden.
7:38Actually, that's not true.
7:39Work predates the rebellion in the garden.
7:42Before sin into the world, Adam was given a job.
7:50That was a part of it.
7:51But the animal naming process,
7:53by the name of the animals, that's absolutely right.
7:55But the animal naming process flowed downstream
7:57from this overarching instruction that God gave him
7:59when he placed him in the garden.
8:01He said, I am placing you in the garden to do what? To dress it and to keep it.
8:08Adam was employed long before there was sin. That employment, however, wasn't a requirement
8:16in order to eat because in order to eat, all he had to do was go to a tree. But the employment
8:20was an opportunity to reflect the reality of his creator in innovation and in ingenuity and
8:25in initiative long before sin ever entered the picture included in that responsibility to cultivate
8:32or dress his garden jurisdiction and to keep it to protect all that was in within his jurisdiction.
8:42He had the substrate responsibility of identifying and naming all of the animals.
8:48This is long before sin has ended the picture. This is why later on in the New Testament,
8:52the Lord says if a man doesn't work because following the rebellion in the garden,
9:00one of the consequences for a man is that labor would be connected to his ability to provide for
9:05for himself. Guys, even if you try something, for example, you, you, you pursue a small business
9:12and your first iteration at your business doesn't necessarily go as well as you had hoped for.
9:17You've learned something in that process that is beneficial for you later on. Say you have
9:23a business and you learn about, you know, software for payment of outstanding bills and receiving
9:30a payment for transactions at the point of sale. You carry that knowledge with you to the next
9:35enterprise that creates a learning opportunity.
9:44And the Bible says, this is from God's perspective,
9:47in all labor, there is benefit, there is profit.
9:52But I want you to also notice the contrast,
9:54but second half of the verse,
9:59mere talk leads only to poverty.
10:02Here, the Lord in His word is pairing
10:07laborious investment, working with mere talking
10:12about working.
10:14Hey man, you know, one day I'm gonna go ahead
10:17and start that business.
10:19Hey man, you know what?
10:21Hey, I'm gonna renovate this room.
10:23Hey man, you know, one day I'm gonna get me some land
10:27and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
10:30to which the Lord would say,
10:31now just say, Lord would say,
10:32when you're gonna do it, bro,
10:37my wife has a saying, don't talk about it, be about it.
10:43The Lord says it this way.
10:45In all labor, there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
10:49But the Will Addison pointed out this scripture to the men in our last men's meeting,
10:53where we were talking about this very phenomenon.
10:57If you look around what's happening in our society, it largely is attributable to people
11:03who may be able to Sunday to Monday morning quarterback to problems, who won't lift a finger
11:08or a foot to do anything about it.
11:10And I'm saying that enough is enough of that.
11:15How much more is it going to take?
11:16How many more Islamianists got to be elected
11:18in major metropolitan networks?
11:20How many more generations of Americans
11:22have to be deprived of a robust proclamation of the gospel
11:25and disciples and being made into disciples,
11:28knowing what they believe, knowing why they believe it,
11:30and are reasonably able to articulate that,
11:32to whom so ever will they would ask that question?
11:39How much more do we have to see to recognize,
11:41you know, you keep looking around for an answer.
11:44When the Lord has already given you His word
11:46and has called you to be a part of being the answer.
11:50should I say conveying the answer? We have to get to the point
11:56where we had enough talking about it, it's time to be about it.
12:01In all labor, there is profit. But mere talk, we just gonna flap our
12:07gums, we just gonna diagnose and diagnose and diagnose, and we
12:15don't respond putting feet to what we recognize. The scripture
12:22gives us a warning. If we are mere talkers, we are talking our
12:26way into poverty and destruction.
12:31Enough is enough.
12:34I've asked this question before.
12:36What is God requiring of us right now?
12:38What is God requiring of you right now?
12:41What are the things that you see happening
12:42and that you have the wherewithal to respond to?
12:48Surely God knows that you cannot individually,
12:50you know, be the source, to be a source of salvaging
12:54for the entire world, but God knows what you can be
12:56and what you can do in your world.
13:01How long are we gonna talk about it
13:02before we do anything?
13:05Are we content with merely talking?
13:07That's another question and I'm saying this
13:08as a host of a talk show.
13:13But I would tell you, and people who know me,
13:14they know this is a part of what I do.
13:17There are a lot of other things going on behind the scenes
13:20by God's grace.
13:24But my hope and prayers that this encourages you
13:27to recognize that there is biblical admonition
13:34against being a gum flapper only.
13:37Now don't misconstrue what I'm saying.
13:40I am not saying talking has no value because it does.
13:44You often have to convey the vision that God has given you
13:46and articulate what it is that you're pursuing
13:49in order to have people to join you in pursuing that.
13:54But if we're only going to talk
13:56and never going to respond,
13:58the script has a warning for us.
14:01In all labor, there is profit, but mere talk,
14:04mere talk leads only.
14:07Notice that, leads only to impoverishment,
14:13Destruction, calamity.
14:17We cannot afford to be a people who are mere talkers.
14:24James says it this way.
14:25We must not be hearers of the word only, but doers.
14:34The harvest is plentiful, but the laborer's a few.
14:39Pray you the Lord of the harvest
14:40that he would send laborers into his harvest field.
14:43And that's across the entire spectrum of our society.
14:47When he pulled pits of flame and righteousness,
14:49Enterprise of Flammed in Righteousness,
14:51Civic Engagement of Flammed in Righteous, Righteousness,
14:53Cultivation of the Hearts and Minds of the Next Generation,

15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker,
15:05in the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke chapter 10,
15:08three people of quote unquote,
15:09Faith found a man in great trouble and distress.
15:13Two of the three passed by on the other side of the road
15:16after seeing the injured man.
15:19Sadly, they did nothing to help.
15:22Yet when a Samaritan saw the man, he had compassion on him.
15:26The Samaritan went through great lengths
15:28to help the injured man.
15:30He used his time, energy, and money to assist the person
15:33in need.
15:34The Lord Jesus, after sharing the parable, gave a command,
15:38go and do likewise.
15:41Babies in the womb have too often been the man
15:44on the side of the road.
15:46The world has beaten them up, robbed them,
15:48and taken their lives too often.
15:51May the Church, the body of Christ, may we not pass by on the other side anymore."
16:02Do you have a comfortable, prodigal living in your home?
16:05Hi, I'm Mark Gregston with Parenting Today's Teens.
16:08I find it interesting that the prodigal son in the Bible came to his senses only when the
16:12consequences of his rotten attitude left him eating with swine, far away from his mother's
16:18home cooking.
16:19Today many teens are living a prodigal lifestyle while still enjoying the comforts of home.
16:25They get what they want and they do as they please, all that mom and dad's expense and
16:30as a result, they never grow up.
16:33Mom, Dad, it's okay to give your teen what he truly needs, but don't let your generosity
16:38facilitate his laziness.
16:41Instead, take some risk and give your teen some personal responsibility.
16:46One day, he'll be fully prepared to live on his own.

17:05Shiving light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
17:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
17:14I'm delighted to have on the program a brother in Christ who I deem to be a mentor.
17:20Frankly, he is a national treasure in my estimation.
17:23He is a nationally known speaker, best-selling author, president of Amerisearch, which is
17:29a publishing company dedicated to researching America's noble heritage.
17:33Many of you have heard him numerous times on the American Minute Radio feature that's heard
17:38all over the country.
17:39My guess is none other than Bill Federer.
17:43Bill, thank you for joining me here on the Hamilton Corner.
17:45Well, Abraham, it's great to be with you.
17:48Oh, man, the pleasure is mine.
17:49I've had the wonderful privilege of joining you
17:52and at several different conferences
17:54and speaking together at different events.
17:57And you just bring a delightful wealth
18:01of knowledge and information,
18:03but it's anchored in your commitment to following Christ.
18:06And so I'm just grateful for you in the ministry
18:08that you've been invested in for all of these years.
18:10And your willingness to continue to fight the good fight.
18:14Well, hey, I'm impressed with all that you're doing.
18:17And when I was with you at that homeschool convention,
18:20you had the room just in awe. They were like, man, you're just hitting every cylinder and it was brilliant.
18:27So the AFR is blessed to have you there and all the listeners as well.
18:33Oh man, well, well, thank you for that. Thank you for that.
18:37Well, I invited you on the program because I've been talking quite a bit about the things
18:42that are happening. For example, the Islamianist who was elected in New York City, Zoramam Dhani,
18:49recognizing the pattern that as of 2023,
18:53there's a majority of Muslims
18:54who are predominantly Shiite, frankly,
18:56in Dearborn Michigan,
18:58you have a higher percentage of Muslims
19:01in Hamtramic, Michigan.
19:03I had a friend on the show who lives in Michigan
19:05who said, listen, in Dearborn, it's not formal Sharia,
19:07but it's functional Sharia law that's happening right now.
19:10You have the presence of a pretty significant Muslim
19:15population in the Minneapolis area, the Twin Cities area.
19:19And there's a pattern that I believe is happening,
19:22that is consistent with what has happened
19:25throughout history concerning Islamic migration patterns
19:28and rout ultimately to Islamic domination.
19:32How would you articulate that pattern first and foremost
19:36and secondarily are we seeing that play out
19:38right here in our own land?
19:40Yeah, yeah, you know, Henry Ford is the one
19:44who initially brought Muslim immigrants to Detroit
19:47to break the unions because they wouldn't unionize.
19:49And so then they, and then building a community
19:52and building great cars and they had the first major mosque
19:56in America, they're in Detroit,
19:58but the next generation is more fundamental.
20:03But big picture, Muhammad was born 570 AD.
20:07Father dies before he's born,
20:09mother dies when he's sixth grandfather,
20:10garden dies when he's eight,
20:11he's orphaned taken in by an uncle, a boot to leave
20:14who takes him on camel rides to different cities.
20:16He hears about different religions.
20:18Persia was Zoroastrian that believed that paradise was
20:21filled full of virgins that would fulfill
20:22all the guys' desires.
20:24Muhammad heard that and the one bold that appears in Islam.
20:28The Zoroastrians believed in gins or genies, right?
20:31And that got in, or Latin's lamp.
20:32And then there were pagan communities.
20:35So Mecca was a pagan city.
20:37They had 360 different pagan gods.
20:39The most popular was who balled the moon God.
20:41And they had a rock.
20:42They thought and formed from the moon,
20:43the glass impact rock where they would kiss it,
20:45walk around and bottle it.
20:46and they did this for centuries pre-Mohamad,
20:48Muhammad kids that rock and that got incorporated
20:50into his belief system.
20:52He went to Jewish cities and he originally
20:53had his followers bombing towards Jerusalem,
20:55but when the Jews rejected him,
20:56he changed the direction to Mecca.
20:59And even in Cyclopedia, Britannica says the gospel
21:02was made known to Muhammad through apocryphal
21:04and heretical sources.
21:05So Muhammad thought the Trinity was the Father Mary and Jesus.
21:08Muhammad was a literate, he could never read and write.
21:10The word Quran means rest-titation, it's an oral thing.
21:14He goes into Mecca.
21:16and thinks there's something in it for everyone,
21:19but very few converts.
21:20So he only makes 70 converts in 12 years.
21:23Got to confrontational.
21:25They tried chasing him out first in 619 AD.
21:27He goes to a city called Al-Tai,
21:29if they don't want him, they pelt him with rocks and stones.
21:31His wife dies, and then he ends up going
21:37to a Jewish city called Medina.
21:39And the Jews let Mohammed in as the first Muslim immigrant ever.
21:44He's a refuge, Muslim refugee.
21:46He goes into the city, presents his faith to the Jews.
21:49They say, you're not a prophet in the line of our prophet,
21:51they reject him, but he goes into the minority neighborhoods
21:53and he begins to organize a following.
21:55And when his following gets bigger and bigger,
21:57he gets involved in politics, like he gets selected.
22:01And then with his following, he pressures the Jews
22:04to accommodate him and his new followers politically.
22:07And they do, so Muhammad's a political leader
22:09in addition to being a religious leader.
22:11Then his followers in Mecca get confrontational argumentative,
22:14They get chased out of town.
22:15Now you have lots of Muslim immigrants and the Jews let them into the Jewish city of Medina,
22:21three Jewish tribes, clans.
22:23And Muhammad allows them to rob the caravans headed back to Mecca in retaliation for the
22:28mechanism chasing them out of town.
22:31And so this is different than Jesus who said, if they take your go, give them your shirt,
22:34his attitude was, if they take your house, you retaliate, take their caravan.
22:37And he gets verses from his Allah on.
22:40says, I'll is giving you the slave girls as your booty.
22:44Right?
22:45So he would get, and then another one is that a fifth of the booty is for the messenger of
22:51the prophet.
22:52So Muhammad got a fifth of the booty from robbing the caravans.
22:57And so the meccans send a thousand soldiers to protect their caravan, 624 AD, battle of
23:04Bodra, Muhammad with just a hundred defeats 300.
23:09So he takes this as a confirmation from all,
23:11he's supposed to be a military leader.
23:13And he fights the 66 battles and raids,
23:15killing 3,000 people in the next eight years before he dies.
23:19And he dies in 632 AD.
23:22But within five years of him coming into the Jewish city
23:25of Medina, there's not a Jew left in the city.
23:27It's like, what?
23:28Yeah, the Jews were nice, these three clans,
23:30but the three clans didn't get along.
23:32And so Muhammad picked on one of the clans,
23:34the other two didn't like, and he confiscated their property,
23:37chases him out of town.
23:38And the other two Jewish clans sort of keep their head low.
23:40He plays the politics, he knows which one.
23:42And then there's two Jewish clans,
23:43he picks on the smaller of the two.
23:44The big one stands back and says,
23:46well, they were always sort of competition for me,
23:47and now they're gone.
23:48Now there's one Jewish clan.
23:50And had Deth says that Muhammad was taking a bath,
23:53a spirit appeared to him, said,
23:54up in you rest when all his enemies are in your midst.
23:56He said, where?
23:57And it points at that last Jewish neighborhood.
23:59He bottles them up for 28 days,
24:00when they surrender, he brings them into the market
24:02and chops off the heads of the men
24:03and sells the women and children in the slavery.
24:05Let me jump in right there because you mentioned the Quran,
24:08which means recitation, absolutely right.
24:10I've repeated numerous times that Mohammed was illiterate.
24:13So it is an oral thing communicated, documented by others
24:16thereafter, then you mentioned the Hadith.
24:18It is rhymed for like rap music.
24:20Yes, it does.
24:21If you ever read it, yeah.
24:22What are the Hadith?
24:26The Hadith are 60,000 stories remembered about Mohammed
24:29by his wives and warriors.
24:31So he married anywhere from 11 to 22 wives.
24:34He had slave wives, he had concubines, his youngest wife,
24:36Aisha was six years old.
24:38He had a dream tonight's in a row of him
24:39marrying the six year old daughter of his general,
24:41a boob ocker.
24:42And he said, well, you're the prophet, here she is.
24:44And in the head teeth, Aisha says that she was nine years old
24:48playing in the backyard.
24:50The Muslim women came, took a cloth, dipped in water,
24:53washed her face and washed her off.
24:54And then said, all his blessings and good luck.
24:57The prophet visited me that afternoon, I was nine years old.
25:01And so she was Muhammad's favorite wife,
25:03and then having slave wives and concubines and so forth.
25:05And so the idea is that he's the perfect Muslim,
25:12and so he's the example.
25:14And the Quran is two sets of verses.
25:20The first set of verses were given to Muhammad
25:23when he was in Mecca,
25:24and he was just a religious leader,
25:27so those verses are relatively more peaceful.
25:30the verses he gets in Medina or more political militant
25:32and they're more violent
25:33and the later verses supersede the earlier verses.
25:36That is the hermeneutic approach for the Quran
25:38is that the latter verses supersede the prior
25:42soras that are in the Quran.
25:45Yeah, so in the Bible we have an Old Testament
25:47with some violence and a New Testament with no violence.
25:49Jesus and the apostles didn't kill anybody.
25:51So what do we say?
25:52The last example is the one we're gonna try to follow.
25:55It's the same way in Islam only in reverse.
25:57Their peaceful verses came first when Muhammad was in Mecca
26:00and they're abrogated and superseded by the later verses
26:02in Medina that are political and militant.
26:04So the Quran are private revelations to Muhammad,
26:08nobody else got those.
26:10But the Hadith are stories remembered about Muhammad.
26:13For those not familiar, the Quran is arranged
26:15by the size of the chapter.
26:18So the longest ones are at the front,
26:19shortest ones at the back.
26:20If they did that with the Bible,
26:21the first chapter would be Psalms 119,
26:23and the last verse would be Jesus' webbed 10.
26:26But the Hadith are stories remembered about Muhammad.
26:30And so you would have people like Kali Fumar
26:33and they would be challenging him.
26:36And he says, wait a second,
26:37I remembered that the prophet one time after a battle
26:39told me this and I was the only one there.
26:42And it's like, okay, well, if you heard it from the prophet,
26:45but these were oral and then they get later written down.
26:47Some, the Sunnis like, some, the Shiite like
26:52and then one other piece of literature is the Surat, S-I-R-A-T.
26:57And it's the Bhagarfi of Muhammad,
26:59written about a hundred years after his death.
27:02And it puts his life in chronological order.
27:05And so where the Koran is arranged by the size of the chapter
27:10and the Hadith are just more or less random stories,
27:13remember it about the Prophet, he slept on his right side,
27:15he would cup his hands, he used a sandal,
27:17you would toothpick, you know.
27:19And so since the goal is to try to imitate him,
27:23these were observations of him that became part.
27:27And then, so the Koran, Hadith and Surat,
27:29and you have four major schools of Islamic study
27:32interpreting the crown of the Hidith and the sahrat.
27:36You had one major person is in the eighth and ninth century
27:40to the Islamic Golden Age.
27:42You had some Muslims that were becoming moderate
27:46and al-Farrabi, avaros, avasenna,
27:50and they were writing in science and medicine and math
27:54and geometry and they were reading Greek stuff.
27:57And you had the, if you would have taken a snapshot,
28:05you would have thought that the Islamic world
28:07is about to experience the Renaissance.
28:10But it all gets slapped down by a Muslim leader named Ghazali.
28:14He's a Mujahideen, a renewer of the faith.
28:16And he said, stop studying Greek geometry,
28:20because you could get pulled into Greek philosophy
28:22and get pulled away from Islam.
28:24So stop studying all the science, medicine,
28:26He says, just study the Quran,
28:28and it was a closing of the Muslim mind,
28:30and it sort of more or less cemented Islam.
28:35You had another Islamic scholar in Andalusia, Spain,
28:38and he starts noticing that, geez,
28:41some of the stories in the Quran are different
28:43than some of the stories in the Bible.
28:45And he just says, well, we know the Quran is true,
28:48so the Bible must be untrustworthy.
28:51It's like, he didn't say what stories were wrong,
28:55who got it wrong,
28:56when he got wrong, no, he just made a blanket statement.
28:59And so Muslims today say, well,
29:01the Bible must have been corrupted,
29:04but we know the Koran is like, wait a second,
29:08the Koran, those verses were compiled by Khalif Uthman.
29:12And he gathered pieces of paper and bone and leaves
29:16and people had written these verses down
29:20and Mohammed had a scribe and a secretary
29:23and they would memorize the verses.
29:25And but then Caliph Uthman compiled all these and then destroyed the source documentation.
29:31So you can't go back and check.
29:32So the so in a sense, the Quran is the most undocumented book.
29:37You can't go back where the Bible, you got all these letters from Paul,
29:40the apostles and Codexes and little, you know, scraps of letters here and there and there's
29:45thousands of them.
29:46You don't have that with the Quran.
29:49So anyway,
29:50And all of these are viewed as authoritative sources
29:54and how do they contribute to the,
29:59you begin talking about this,
30:00even dating back to the migration to Medina,
30:03the effort to migrate to a place
30:06and then ultimately end up in the position
30:07of dominance in the location.
30:10Yeah, so Egypt used to be Christian,
30:14evangelized by Mark that wrote the gospel,
30:16Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
30:18until in the 630s, you had the Muslim leader Amir Ibn Allah
30:22invades Egypt.
30:24Egypt had two groups of Christians.
30:26The Coptic Christians, the word Coptic is the Egyptian word
30:29for Egyptian and the Byzantine Christians.
30:33And they disagreed on some doctrine.
30:35And the Byzantine Christians were oppressing
30:38the Coptic Christians.
30:39And so Amir Ibn Allah comes to the borders of Egypt and says,
30:42hey, we will help you drive out those Byzantine Christians.
30:46And they're like, really, you want to help us?
30:47And so they let the Muslims in with their Arabian horses
30:51and their stirrups and the cemeter swords.
30:52And yeah, they drive out the Byzantine Christians,
30:54but then they stay and they take over.
30:56And then they begin to cut out the tongues
30:59of anybody caught speaking Coptic.
31:00And then they would get the whole people in the church
31:02and set the church on fire.
31:03And I mean, that's why they speak Arabic in Egypt
31:08rather than the Coptic Egyptian language in Egypt.
31:11Because of the Arab,
31:12and then all the North Africa used to be Christian.
31:15Barack, Al-Giers, Tunisia, Libya,
31:16Saint Augustine of Hippos from Carthage,
31:18well, the Umayyid Muslims conquered it in 10 years.
31:21Why?
31:22Because the Christians had embraced pietism.
31:23If you're really Christian,
31:24you won't get involved in politics,
31:25you'll just withdraw.
31:26And so the Muslims were unopposed.
31:28And then you had in the year 711,
31:31a Muslim general named Tariq.
31:33And he takes Muslim warriors across the Strait of Gibraltar
31:37into Spain.
31:39Now, his name is Jibal, excuse me,
31:42his name is Tariq and the name of a mountain is Jibal.
31:45So, Jabbal-Tariq means the mountain of Tariq,
31:47and that's where he landed.
31:49And so they pronounced it today, Jabbal-Tara.
31:52Jabbal-Taraq is Jabbal-Tariq,
31:54the mountain of Tariq where he lands with his soldiers.
31:57And then the Europeans are lots of different kingdoms.
32:00So just like the three Jewish tribes were divided politically
32:04and a lot of Islam would take over,
32:05just like Egypt had the Coptics and Byzantines
32:08that were divided, a lot of Islam would take over,
32:10Spain was a bunch of Visigothic Christian kingdoms
32:13that didn't get along.
32:14and the Muslim warriors would attack one,
32:17and the other ones would stand back and say,
32:18well, I never really liked that one.
32:19They were competition for me.
32:21And then they would get gone,
32:22and then they'd conquer another one.
32:23The other ones would stand back,
32:24and then they conquered another one.
32:25Well, they're three kingdoms away,
32:26they're not gonna bother you,
32:27they're not gonna come to their rescue.
32:28And within 10 years, they conquered all Spain.
32:31And they crossed the Pyrenees Mountains,
32:33conquer Southern France.
32:34Europeans are fighting on foot with heavy metal swords.
32:37You read the story of the Battle of Bordeaux
32:39in Southern France in one pass.
32:42The Muslim cavalry annihilates the entire Frankish army.
32:46Now they're headed toward Paris, the battle of tours,
32:49Charles Martel, the grandfather of Charlemagne.
32:53He gets about 30,000 men, they're all on foot,
32:56and he puts them on top of a hill in a square.
32:59Well, the Muslim cavalry, the horses do not like
33:02for whatever reason, charging into a solid square
33:04full of soldiers, something the horses hurt a hesitate,
33:07and it's difficult to charge up hill.
33:10Let me stop you right there,
33:11because the disrespectful music is started.
33:13But when we come back from this break,
33:15that means a break is coming,
33:16that's a disrespectful music.
33:18But when we come back from this break,
33:19let's pick up right there where the solid square
33:22and the uphill positioning was a deterrent for these horses
33:28and then continue to build in the direction
33:30to illustrate that the same pattern
33:32seems to be playing out currently right here in our own nation.
33:35You're listening to the Hamilton Corner.

35:58The Hamilton Corner Podcast and One-Minute Comment Terrence are available at EFR.net.
36:10Back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
36:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
36:18By now you know you probably should send this to your friends, family and loved ones.
36:22This particular episode.
36:23But I know some of you are listening and saying, whoo, that's a lot of information.
36:28Well, that's okay, relax.
36:30Because Bill has written a book on this, as I'm sure you can tell.
36:33So would you mention the book that you've written on this and tell the audience here how
36:37they can find that particular book?
36:39And Jeff, if you would, would you please put a link to the book in the show notes?
36:42All right, Bill, would you tell the people how they can find your book and what's the title
36:46of it?
36:47Yeah, it's called what every American needs to know about the Quran, a history of Islam
36:51and the United States.
36:53And I also have a flash drive with about 20 to presentations with my power points and slides
36:58jumping back in.
37:00So the battle of tours, 732 AD, is 100 years after the death of Mohammed in 632 AD.
37:08They go from Arabia to Paris in a 100 year military campaign.
37:12And you think, well gee, that's pretty offensive.
37:14Well you know if you read their writings they'll say they're defensive.
37:16It's like how can you be defensive when you're from Arabia and you're in Spain?
37:21Well if you feel threatened by your enemy then you're justified in attacking them preemptively.
37:27And it's this idea that when your enemy is strong, retreat, when your enemy is weak, attack.
37:33And so they're stopped at the battle of tours, 732 AD by Charles Martell, the grandfather of
37:37Charlemagne.
37:38It takes 700 years of reconquista battles to drive the Muslims out of Spain.
37:43Meanwhile, they come around the other side and they conquered Jerusalem around 638 AD, which
37:47had been a Byzantine Christian city.
37:49They conquered Syria, which was the first country to completely be Christian, evangelized by Paul.
37:54the name Christian was first used in Syria until Khalif Umar conquers it.
37:59And then the Seljuk Turk conveyed the Byzantine Empire.
38:05All seven churches mentioned the book of Revelation were wiped out by the Seljuk Turks.
38:10It cuts off the land routes to get from Europe to India, China in 1453 when Sultan Mamut II
38:17conquers Constantinople.
38:19And so in 1492 Columbus said, say, looking for a sea route to get to India, China.
38:23would have never ever set sail. Had it not been for Islamic Jihad cutting off the land
38:28routes in 1453, second Constantinople, turned the largest Christian church in the world into
38:34a mosque. And so then the Greeks begged for help. The West sent help is called the Crusades,
38:42nine major Crusades in 200 years. Crusades and Muslims pick up where they left off right
38:46there invading Europe. And anyway, the Ottoman Empire. So from around 1200 up until after
38:53to World War I, the Ottoman Empire,
38:56controlled the entire Turkey and the Middle East
38:59called the Levant, Anatolia, and then Egypt and North Africa.
39:04A couple definitions are helpful.
39:06The word Islam means submission to the will of Allah,
39:09a Muslim is one who has submitted to the will of Allah,
39:12and they think there will be world peace
39:15when the whole world submits to the will of Allah.
39:17So it is a religion of peace,
39:19it's just their definition of the word peace
39:22is different than ours.
39:23Our definition of peace, the different groups getting along,
39:25their definition of peace is world Islam.
39:29When all of the enemies of Islam are defeated,
39:31there's nobody left to fight.
39:33So there's peace, right?
39:35And now moderate.
39:36Let me jump and ask this question.
39:37How would you navigate the issue?
39:39Because it's a, clearly, a popular conversation topic.
39:45Well, you have, you know, the Mujuhadim,
39:47you have the Islamic terrorists,
39:48those who are willing to use violence to advance Islam.
39:52but the world is filled with the majority of the Islamic people
39:55are what just described as peaceful Muslims.
39:58How would you respond to that notion?
40:01Yeah, yeah, I mean, I would call them non-violent Muslims
40:03because again, their word peace means world Islam.
40:06So when they were stopped at the battle of tours,
40:10when they were stopped first at Constantinople
40:12in the 600s, a different line of Islamic theology developed
40:18that says we will still conquer the world,
40:20but it may just have to wait till later.
40:23And so now you have two groups.
40:24You have the fundamental Muslims
40:26that think the world is supposed to submit to Allah now
40:29and the non-violent Muslims
40:32that think the world is gonna submit to Allah later,
40:34maybe in the distant future, maybe at the end of the world,
40:36maybe it's even figurative.
40:38And since it's so far off,
40:39they really don't think about it
40:40and they just wanna live their lives.
40:42And they're happy to have you as a friend and a neighbor.
40:44That's great.
40:45Matter of fact, many of those want to enjoy
40:48freedoms of Western civilization. Now the dilemma for the West is the nicer the West shows itself,
40:53some of the fundamental Muslims view that niceness as weakness and they take that as an indicator to
40:59attack. And so in the law of the jungle, lions, Jason, Zebra, if there's a weak Zebra, which one
41:06is the lion going to pounce on? The weak one. And so weakness invites aggression. So we have to
41:11understand that when the West would win battles and their chose strength, then they would retreat
41:18and for about a generation or two become non-violent, but then they would do probing attacks. And when
41:23there's no response, they would take that as an indicator from Allah that's supposed to get
41:27aggressive again. And so those are some important definitions. They divide the world into the Dar
41:34al-Islam House of, Islam House of submission and the Dar al-Harba, the House of War. So the non-Muslim
41:40the moral is supposed to be at war because it's in the process of being put into submission.
41:46And then when the whole world is in submission to the will of all of, there's peace. And now
41:51Muhammad was a white Arab and he owned African slaves. There are there are had teeth that
41:57says Muhammad was the white man reclining on the couch. Another had teeth. Some people
42:02went to see him and they said that he lifted his arms to say a certain prayer. They saw
42:07the whiteness of his armpits. Another guy's writing in his donkey rubs up against Muhammad's
42:10He said, I saw the whiteness of the prophets thigh.
42:13And Muhammad owned black slaves like Bill L.
42:16And they had slave markets all throughout Africa,
42:19Tanzania, the Zanzibar Coast, to Khartoum, Timbuktu,
42:24or the canoe meets the caravan, the Niger River.
42:26And they would capture slaves.
42:30They enslaved different estimates,
42:33but probably like 100 million Africans.
42:35And it still goes on today.
42:36The Arab Muslims of northern Sudan
42:39are killing the Christian African in southern Sudan.
42:43Yeah, I have a missionary friend, Brad,
42:46Dake, Brad Phillips, and he's got the persecution project,
42:50and he's over there.
42:51Another friend's in Nigeria,
42:53and the British colonized Nigeria,
42:55and the Muslims were better at collecting taxes,
42:57and so they put them in the government,
42:58and when the British gave Nigeria its freedom,
43:00they left the Muslims in charge,
43:01and so they're in northern Nigeria,
43:03and they're gradually conquering these villages,
43:05and they disarm the whole country,
43:06and so only the Boko Haram have weapons,
43:08and they go in and wipe out entire villages.
43:10So this friend of mine says,
43:12hey, I got intel that I know where they're gonna attack next,
43:15and I go to the US Embassy
43:16and all they're concerned about is climate change.
43:19It's like, people are getting killed.
43:20They go, oh, well, you know, with the climate.
43:23And so these are still some of the holdovers
43:25from the previous administration.
43:26That's why Trump's like, you know,
43:27get rid of this filibuster,
43:28so that I can get my people in office.
43:31But heart-wrenching stories of, you know,
43:35cutting off arms and legs
43:36and a female circumcision and things like that.
43:39We saw the same thing in Congo,
43:41when they rounded up Christians in the villages
43:43and brought them in front of the local Protestant church
43:45and beheaded them right in front of the church.
43:47That's just a couple months ago in Congo.
43:49Wow, wow, God have mercy.
43:52And so it's important for us to understand
43:55that their goal is to caliphate, what's to caliphate?
43:59It's a one-world Islamic government.
44:02And so they call it the Red Green Access
44:03because the Communists, one-on-one world government,
44:07they have a word near MIR,
44:09which means world peace and world communism.
44:14Very similar to the Islamic attitude
44:16of world peace means world Islam.
44:18So they're happy to work together for the globalist goals
44:22and they view Western values as opposition,
44:26mainly because the Judeo-Christian thought
44:30gives birth to the idea of the individual, the Bible.
44:33that man and women of every race are made in the image of God,
44:38and God is not a respecter of persons.
44:40This is the beginning of the concept of equality.
44:42In Islam, they don't have a concept.
44:44Allah has no image.
44:45You can't be made in his image.
44:47And Allah loves the Muslim who's submitted.
44:49And Allah hates the infidel.
44:51It says, make war on the infidel, be unbeliever.
44:54And there's no concept of man and woman being equal.
44:57Muhammad said, a woman's mind is deficient,
44:59so it takes two women to testify in court against one man.
45:02in Egypt, your marriage license at the courthouse,
45:05one line for the husband, four lines for the wives.
45:08And so when these Muslims will come in,
45:11again, the majority of them are moderate
45:13and they just wanna live,
45:15but when the West shows weakness,
45:17it empowers the fundamental ones.
45:20And so I tell people it's like,
45:22if a drug gang's moving into the neighborhood
45:24and you call the police and they show up and arrest them,
45:26are you gonna call the police again?
45:28Yes.
45:29If the drug dealer does deal on your front lawn,
45:31you call the police, they don't show up yet.
45:34And then the drug dealer comes up to your front door
45:36and says, we have somebody inside the police department
45:38and they said, you called on us.
45:39And if you call again, we'll kill you.
45:41Are you gonna call the police again?
45:42Probably not.
45:44And so when the moderate Muslims
45:46who wanna enjoy freedoms, and this is the majority of them,
45:50when they see the West showing itself strong
45:53against the fundamental Muslims,
45:55they're happy to enjoy the freedoms of the West.
45:58But when they see the West, not only not enjoying it,
46:00but funneling money and arms to Muslim terrorist groups, right?
46:06And so this began, you know, really during World War I,
46:11when you had the British, you know,
46:15Sir Lawrence Arabia got the Arab Muslims
46:19to help the British defeat the Turkish Muslims, right?
46:22And he gave them an unauthorized promise
46:25that if they helped the British,
46:26they'll get all the land in the Middle East.
46:28Yet a Jewish chemist,
46:30And Heim Weizmann helps the British to develop acetone for explosives.
46:33And so the British air will to win the war and they give the Jews the bal for declaration
46:38where the British give the Jews all the land called the British mandate.
46:41So the same land is promised to two different groups.
46:44All right, the British mandate gives it to the Jews and Lawrence of Arabia is unauthorized promise.
46:49It gives it to the Arabs.
46:50And so that's the origin of the fighting.
46:52But you track it through history.
46:54You have what?
46:57Jimmy Carter,
46:59Abandons the ally that Shaw in Iran,
47:03and he lets the Ayatollah take over.
47:06And then you have the Iran-Iraq War,
47:13and Ronald Reagan and Rumsfeld are arming and training Saddam Hussein,
47:18who's in Iraq, to fight the Ayatollah in Iran.
47:22in Iran. And so from 1980 to 1988, you got the US helping Iraq and then you have the Soviet
47:28Afghan war around the same time. And the USCIA is arming and training the Taliban to fight
47:34the Soviets. One of the people we train was Osama bin Laden.
47:38And all of these things are happening and these people are completely ignorant to the history
47:41and really the theology of the people that they're training it appears.
47:45Yeah, you know, you had Tom Hanks did a movie called Charlie Wilson's War, where it's our
47:51CIA, Army and Training the Taliban.
47:53Sylvester Stallone did a movie, Rambo III,
47:55where it's our military, our CIA,
47:58Army and Training the Taliban.
48:00Then you have the Reagan, I loved him,
48:03but when the Muslims blew up the U.S. Marine barracks
48:06in Lebanon, his response was to tuck tail and run.
48:08So here we abandoned the Shaw, we abandoned Lebanon,
48:11and we're sending these signals that were weak.
48:16And then you have Bill Clinton funneling arms
48:19where we ran to arm the Bosnian Muslims
48:22to fight the Serbian Christians.
48:24You have of course Hillary Clinton doing gun running,
48:28running arms from Benghazi over to Syria,
48:31trying to overthrow Assad.
48:32And then you have the Afghanistan with Biden
48:37leaving $85 billion worth of arms to the Taliban.
48:42I actually saw a Los Angeles Times newspaper headline.
48:47It says militant Muslim groups armed by the CIA fight militant Muslim groups armed by the Pentagon.
48:53So we're like, man, and the Christians are getting crushed in the middle.
48:58So tell us the gabbard introduced a bill stop arming terrorist act.
49:02It's like, you know, Rand Paul is like, let's just stop.
49:06And the poor Christians are getting crushed between it all.
49:09So we have these things happening and you have here in our own nation, kind of like the demographic winter coming home to where American
49:16Citizens are not necessarily reproducing at the same rates we have historically, but we have
49:22reproduction being outpaced
49:24by lots of immigrants including Muslim immigrants. What is that contributing to what you mentioned before the the
49:32effort to pursue peace under Islam?
49:35Yeah, so Western civilization is brought into climate change and you have fewer kids and maybe one kid per family
49:42Is the Muslim immigrants come in some of them
49:45them have four wives and they put them in apartments and the wives go down to the welfare office
49:50and get checks.
49:52And the guy visits his wives and the more children they have, the larger the checks get.
49:58He's living like an amir with his harem, all paid for at a state expense.
50:03And it's a social stigma for Muslim women to have less than five children.
50:06And so you get this one guy and he's got 20 kids, right?
50:11And so just demographically, by 2030, they will have a majority Muslim population in all
50:16these Western countries, including Canada.
50:18And so they won't even have to do jihad.
50:20They'll just vote in Sharia law.
50:24And it's something that demographically, it's going to be hard to turn around.
50:30Charlie Kirk was saying, get married, have kids.
50:33But it's something that is happening.
50:39In my book, I brought out a couple interesting things.
50:42One minute Bill, we've got one minute.
50:44The Barbary Pirate Wars, but you had oil.
50:46In the 1800s, came from Wales until 1859s, discovered in Pennsylvania, Drake Oilwell,
50:52then Oklahoma, then Baghdad, Kirk Kook, and then Persian.
50:56So the British formed the Anglo-Iranian oil company called BP.
51:00And then the Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany makes a treaty with the Turks.
51:03Abdul had me the second for oil.
51:05So now you have half of World War I takes place in the Middle East over oil.
51:11And so, and then a big deal happened in 1938, standard oil company discovered oil in Saudi
51:15Arabia.
51:16And that's when Saudi Arabia went from the poorest of the country to the richest of the
51:19country.
51:20Anyway, the West has been financing a lot of the fundamental Islam stuff without realizing
51:24it.
51:25But AmericanManit.com is our website and the book is what every American needs know about
51:30the Quran.
51:31Guys, you need the book.
51:32You need the book.
51:33Bill, we've got to have you back on.
51:34on so we can talk further about this. Thank you.
