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. 0:23Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28and now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:32Welcome to the program, Alex McFarland here,
12. 0:35very honored to be sitting in for Abe Hamilton.
13. 0:38And we have a very important show,
14. 0:39very special guest that you'll meet in just a few moments.
15. 0:42Muhammad Faridhi, and we're going to talk about
16. 0:45the rise of Islam in American culture.
17. 0:49But I've got to, with a bit of chagrin
18. 0:53relate to a story from 29 years ago, 29 years ago,
19. 0:58I'd come out of graduate school,
20. 1:00Liberty University with a postgraduate degree
21. 1:04in apologetics, really philosophy of religion,
22. 1:07that's what they call the apologetics program.
23. 1:09But we'd gone through all facets of defending the faith.
24. 1:13And I was making the rounds,
25. 1:15trying to find a position in a church,
26. 1:18and I ultimately became a youth pastor
27. 1:20and college campus minister.
28. 1:22But I was meeting with a major denominational leader
29. 1:27for a very, very large Protestant denomination in America.
30. 1:31This is 29 years ago, almost 30 years ago.
31. 1:34And he said to me, apologetics,
32. 1:38what are you gonna do with that?
33. 1:39I said, well, apologetics is the evidence
34. 1:42for the Christian faith, winning lost people,
35. 1:45skeptics, atheists, Muslims.
36. 1:48And this man said to me, and this was 29 years ago,
37. 1:52he said, unless someone goes to the foreign mission field,
38. 1:56they'll probably never encounter a Muslim.
39. 2:00This is Christian America, Alex, apologetics,
40. 2:03and especially Islamic apologetics.
41. 2:08It's just not necessary.
42. 2:09Well, here we are right now, even as we speak,
43. 2:12142 electoral seats are about to be seized
44. 2:19by Muslims in America.
45. 2:21Mayoral election, city council, school boards,
46. 2:24senate seats.
47. 2:26It's probably even more than that, but at least 142 Muslim candidates are running for positions
48. 2:33in America this year.
49. 2:36There are even communities where Sharia law, there's consideration of it being allowed in
50. 2:43certain places in Dearborn, Michigan, Indiana, Texas.
51. 2:48It's already in practice.
52. 2:50So folks, besides the souls of people and lost people need to be born again through faith
53. 2:57in Jesus Christ, Gentiles, Jews, Arabs, Muslims.
54. 3:03There's the spiritual dynamic, but there's also the cultural implication.
55. 3:07And so to talk about this with us and help us to get up to speed is a colleague, Muhammad
56. 3:13Faridhi.
57. 3:14I've come to appreciate this man so deeply.
58. 3:16We teach at Caris Bible College in Colorado.
59. 3:21He is just brilliant and just his great intellect is eclipsed only by his equally great heart,
60. 3:29in my opinion.
61. 3:30He's our guest right now, Muhammad Faridhi, a follower of Jesus Christ and a great voice
62. 3:37to learn from on this subject of Islam.
63. 3:40I welcome you, sir, to the American Family Radio Network.
64. 3:44Thank you, Alex, for having me.
65. 3:45Appreciate you.
66. 3:46Well, I appreciate you.
67. 3:49I want to talk about just living in America.
68. 3:56How concerned are you about just the escalation of Islam?
69. 4:01I mean, it's in the news every day.
70. 4:03They're lobbyist groups.
71. 4:06Even some Christians, I think they're very naive and very ill-informed if they even are
72. 4:13born again.
73. 4:14But even many Christians have said to me, well, we all worship the same God.
74. 4:21We say, Jesus, they say, Allah, come on, let's just live and let live.
75. 4:25But Muhammad, how concerned are you about the growth of Islam in America and the West?
76. 4:33I'm very concerned actually because the city that runs the economics of the world now is
77. 4:40ruled by a Muslim.
78. 4:42His name is Mamdani.
79. 4:43Mamdani was just in January of 2026,
80. 4:48just this past couple of weeks,
81. 4:50he actually put his hand on the Quran,
82. 4:53the supposed holy book of Islam,
83. 4:55not on the Bible, not on the Constitution,
84. 4:58not on in the American Christian culture, none of that.
85. 5:02He rejected all of that,
86. 5:04and boldly put his hand on the Quran,
87. 5:08the Islamic most holy book,
88. 5:13and was sworn as the mayor of the New York. I mean, how much bigger do they need to get
89. 5:20for the Christians to wake up and say, this is a problem. They have not come to stay, they have
90. 5:26not come to assimilate, they have come to take over. Yeah. And you know, I did a lot of media back
91. 5:33when he was running. And I did a lot of research. There are 105 billionaires in New York City, and yet
92. 5:42he said there should be no billionaires. And even in his first few days as Mayor of New York City
93. 5:48has tried to take away all the rights of real estate owners that own like apartment buildings and
94. 5:59houses and give all the rights to the tenants and take away the rights of landlords. But
95. 6:06New York City is the 13th largest economy in the world, a bigger economy than Canada,
96. 6:12a bigger economy than France or even the UK. And that economy, as you so well said, that
97. 6:21really shapes the economic temperature of the world is now in the hands of a Muslim.
98. 6:27Exactly. Yeah.
99. 6:30And what you have to consider this, Alex, and I want the audience to know that Muslims,
100. 6:37Because the message of the Muslims, the message of Islam, generally speaking, is very unappealing.
101. 6:45It is very, very vague. It is very unfamiliar to the Western mind.
102. 6:53Therefore, they have to adapt, they have to change, they have to kind of sugarcoat their messaging,
103. 7:03which is appealing to a New Yorker,
104. 7:06let's say a millennial or a Gen Z,
105. 7:09a message of socialism, a message of Marxism.
106. 7:13So that's the face David, David, put up.
107. 7:17The Ayatollah of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979
108. 7:22has proven that to the world
109. 7:26that we should have been seeing all of this unveiling
110. 7:30in front of us and then we should have been wiser to this and say,
111. 7:34oh, we have seen this pattern before.
112. 7:37This has never worked.
113. 7:38I told how many never came to Iran to say,
114. 7:41now we're going to rule the country of Iran,
115. 7:47a beautiful country, just as they call it,
116. 7:49the South Korea of Middle East.
117. 7:51I told how many never came and said,
118. 7:53oh, we're going to be cutting the rights of women.
119. 7:58do not allow the woman to vote. We are not, we are going to implement Sharia, we will
120. 8:04have Sharia law. Man can have to have to have to have up to four wives and men are owning
121. 8:17their wives, they can beat him up. And he never came up with those things that is the
122. 8:23message of Islam that we're going to move with force. He came as we will have free electricity,
123. 8:32free transportation, we will have an economic that is under and adjust Islamic system. The
124. 8:42king, the Shah of Iran, which was the reach at the time, we will take the money from him
125. 8:47and distribute among people and that was the message of the Ayatollah Khomeini. If you put
126. 8:54Ayatollah Khomeini as a speech right next to Mamdani, you would not know who is speaking. It's identical.
127. 9:04In 1979, the Persians, the Iranian heard about, oh, we want to government housing, we want to
128. 9:10bring the petroleum money to the doors of the Iranian people and distributed
129. 9:15collectively among people.
130. 9:18But that was the messaging because the message of Islam
131. 9:22itself is very, very unappealing.
132. 9:25It is very actually weird that, for example,
133. 9:29the witness of a woman values half of a man
134. 9:32that is Sharia of Islam.
135. 9:34That's the message of Islam.
136. 9:35The message of Islam is will take over Sharia will rule
137. 9:39and non-Muslim have no right to live.
138. 9:42If you are a Christian Jew, if you're a homosexual,
139. 9:45if you're an atheist, you have no right to live
140. 9:49in an Islamic society.
141. 9:51So that message will not sell at least yet in the West.
142. 9:55So what Mr. Mamdani did, it just came
143. 9:59and repeated the history for the New Yorkers,
144. 10:02came up with those socialist Marxist messaging
145. 10:07that will have free education and public grocery stores
146. 10:11government, governmental housing, affordability and all of that.
147. 10:16You saw that the first day, the very gentleman, the very mayor, that promised to the New Yorkers
148. 10:24that you will have public transportation, the day he put his hand on the or on and was
149. 10:30promised as the mayor, the same day the public transportation in the state of New York went
150. 10:35up 15%.
151. 10:37Yes, yes.
152. 10:38And, you know, people are so naive about this.
153. 10:42Let me ask you this.
154. 10:44And for those just tuning in, Alex McFarland here, we're talking with Muhammad Faridhi,
155. 10:48a Christian.
156. 10:50But where did you grow up, Muhammad?
157. 10:53I was born and raised in under the Islamic regime of Iran in 1984, I was born.
158. 10:59So I never know the period that my dad lived, for example, when he lived in under the Shah
159. 11:07of Iran, which was very secular. He was very West, a capitalistic, friendly man. And then
160. 11:18the Iranians, I guess, had it too easy, too beautiful. Their passports actually was very
161. 11:24valuable. They could travel around the world. And all of a sudden, completely out of the
162. 11:30blue. We had this Muslim revolutionary that now is talking about we're gonna get rid of the system,
163. 11:40this evil system of the rich and distribute the wealth. And it was very appealing to the students,
164. 11:46the university students of the time, and they got behind him, the left, the Marxist inside Iran,
165. 11:53got behind this Islamist. And they were thinking, okay, we use this Islamist,
166. 11:58because it is a revolutionary. We use this useful idiot. We prop him up. We will get him in power,
167. 12:08and then we will rule. But lo and behold, they had a rude awakening after he was elected because he
168. 12:17invited everyone, died to La Chomani, invited everyone. Every one of those Marxists left this,
169. 12:22Every one of those people, the labor party type people, he invited all of them, all of them,
170. 12:30the opposition and the people that helped him to get elected, invited him to embank it and kill
171. 12:35them all. We got rid of him. I remember in 1979 all of that and I was just a 12, 13 years old,
172. 12:52back then. But, uh, Muhammad, I remember that, um, females were not allowed to be educated
173. 12:59anymore. And I had seen on the news a beautiful, I mean, it would have looked like any American
174. 13:06college campus and females, you know, um, that it looked like, you know, heartland America
175. 13:13and the colleges were closed in Iran and females couldn't get an education anymore. And I
176. 13:20I just remember that it just became like a police state when radical fundamentalist Islam
177. 13:30was imposed.
178. 13:32And folks, I've talked, I had a four hour conversation with the vice president of care,
179. 13:39the Council on American Islamic Relations.
180. 13:42And this woman just very calmly told me that they would claim America for Islam and
181. 13:49the Constitution of America would one day be suspended.
182. 13:55Yeah.
183. 13:56And Sharia would be imposed.
184. 13:57They absolutely hate the Constitution of America.
185. 14:01They believe that the law of Allah is a divine law.
186. 14:04The Sharia of Islam is divine.
187. 14:06And Constitution is nothing but manmade rule
188. 14:09which is corrupt and evil.
189. 14:11And they really believe this that they're doing a service
190. 14:15Allah by this mentaling to using the democracy to overthrow the democracy.
191. 14:21And so folks we're gonna take a break we're gonna come back and you may not
192. 14:28believe that we are in the crosshairs of a jihad but there is a cultural
193. 14:33jihad in process and if you're a believer you need to pray you need to
194. 14:39influence others for the gospel. Alex McFarlane here along with our guest
195. 14:43a Muhammad Faridhi talking about America, the future hangs in the balance and Islam
196. 14:49is reaching for it. Stay tuned. We'll come back after this break and continue.
197. 15:00The AFR app is a powerful tool but it does have limitations. You can't use it to change
198. 15:05the oil in your vehicle or get rid of carpet stains. It won't walk the dog, won't pick
199. 15:10up the dry cleaning or take the kids to practice. But while you're doing those things, you can
200. 15:15and listen to your favorite AFR content through the app on your phone, smart device,
201. 15:20or Roku.
202. 15:21Just go to your App Store or visit AFR.net.
203. 15:25Listen to AFR wherever you go with the AFR app.
204. 15:35Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
205. 15:41Welcome back to the program.
206. 15:42We're talking with Muhammad Faridi about the growth of Islam here in America.
207. 15:48dozens of things that we could cite. Probably Islam became cognizant to most people, September
208. 15:5811, 2001, when, and this was certainly not the first attempt that was in 1993, an attempt
209. 16:06to detonate a bomb in the world trade towers. But Islam has been front-page news literally
210. 16:14daily since the 70s. And it's a puzzlement to me why more churches and certainly more
211. 16:22ministers don't preach about the differences between Christianity and Islam. Let me just
212. 16:28ask our guest, Muhammad Faridhi, from Iran, contrary to what liberal westerners say, Muhammad,
213. 16:38Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
214. 16:43They do not.
215. 16:45So if you want to answer that question really quick, absolutely not.
216. 16:50The answer is emphatically, absolutely not.
217. 16:54Because the God of Iran, the God of Islam, denies the Trinity, denies the sonship of Christ,
218. 17:04denies the fatherhood.
219. 17:05Let me give you a cue that you will always remember.
220. 17:13Muslims all around the world, regardless of where are they geographically, what language
221. 17:19do they speak, regardless of Sunni or Shia's, they always do five times their prayer facing
222. 17:29Mecca.
223. 17:30They recite two chapters of the Quran.
224. 17:33These are short chapters as part of these ritual prayers
225. 17:39that they do facing Mecca, they bow down, prostrate,
226. 17:43and then so on and so forth.
227. 17:44So during this five times prayer,
228. 17:47they repeat these two chapters 17 times each.
229. 17:52In one of those chapters,
230. 17:56in one of those short chapters, one of the verses
231. 17:59that they recited every day, every Muslim Muslim
232. 18:03all around the world.
233. 18:04It is, la mele, wa la meulat, meaning he is not big yet,
234. 18:10he is not big cotton, meaning God is not a father
235. 18:14and does not have a son.
236. 18:17So Muslim prayer is a polemic, is an attack on Christianity.
237. 18:23So when you deny the fatherhood of God,
238. 18:27the sonship of Christ, you deny in the Quran chapter 17 verse
239. 18:32one, 171, it says that he was not crucified.
240. 18:39Allah did not crucify him, but someone appeared as Jesus
241. 18:45and was crucified on his behalf.
242. 18:48So therefore, he's not a father, he's not a son,
243. 18:51he wasn't crucified, he's not the savior.
244. 18:55And if he didn't die for the sin of the world,
245. 18:58therefore he wasn't resurrected.
246. 19:01So this is a very basic Christian doctrine
247. 19:05that every believer anywhere in the world needs to believe.
248. 19:09Yeah.
249. 19:10God the Father sacrificed his son for our sake.
250. 19:14He became actually sin that we might become
251. 19:17the righteousness of God.
252. 19:19How did he do that?
253. 19:20He, the sinless Son of God was crucified
254. 19:25was sacrificed, his blood was shed, he gave up his life, and God put our sin upon him and
255. 19:34punished his son that what we do not deserve and we could have not achieved, the Son of God
256. 19:41achieved for me, and he became the substitute, he became the Lamb of God, that was the substitute
257. 19:47for our sin.
258. 19:48And as a result, he gives us his righteousness.
259. 19:51Everything I said right now as a Christian that you need to believe to be a Christian. It is
260. 19:59Explicitly every one of this doctrine has been denied
261. 20:04And indeed indeed and that's why you know, I just
262. 20:09Muhammad I just
263. 20:11grown in
264. 20:13Frustration when pastors and ministers not all but many have said to me that
265. 20:19that Islam and Christianity are compatible.
266. 20:23About five years ago, I was on Fox News on the morning show,
267. 20:27Fox News National with a Methodist minister from Tennessee,
268. 20:33who was advocating for what he called
269. 20:36chryslam that Christianity and Islam were essentially the same.
270. 20:41And I said much of what you said that it's impossible.
271. 20:45Christianity, the gospel, the good news is that the Son of God, God incarnate Jesus,
272. 20:52paid our sin debt on the cross, rose from the dead by faith in Jesus, were saved.
273. 20:57And without Christ dying on the cross, we have no gospel, and Islam denies that
274. 21:04Jesus died on the cross. I do want to say this, and this might be helpful to some of
275. 21:08the listeners. The word begotten in the English Bible, John 3 16, says that God so
276. 21:14love the world that he gave his only begotten son.
277. 21:19begotten son.
278. 21:20And I've had a few Muslims say to me, Muhammad, that God does not, he is not begotten nor does
279. 21:30he beguette.
280. 21:31And folks, I want you to know that in the Greek it's monogenesis.
281. 21:35And what John 3 16 is literally saying is that Christ is of the same nature or essence
282. 21:44as the Father. Mono means one, Ganesis, it can mean origin, but it also can mean nature.
283. 21:52That's why Jesus could say, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. And that's why Jesus could
284. 21:58say in John 8 and John 10, I and the Father are one. So folks, if you're interacting with a
285. 22:06Muslim and trying to share Jesus, it only begotten of John 3 16 does not mean many Muslims have
286. 22:16said to me that God did not lay with Mary. That's not what it's saying. What it's saying is that
287. 22:23Christ is of the same essence or nature as the Father. But Muhammad, I've got to ask you,
288. 22:30how did you become a believer? What opened your eyes and how did you come to faith in Jesus
289. 22:36Christ.
290. 22:38The way that I heard the gospel is while I was being in the revolutionary God of Iran,
291. 22:48in the IRGC, a terrorist organization, being programmed to become a sacrifice for the
292. 22:54sake of Allah.
293. 22:56I was being trained.
294. 22:57They taught us that we need to pray.
295. 23:00Part of the training was that they put us in empty graves during the night to fight the
296. 23:05fear of death.
297. 23:07As I was going through all of the things in Islam, in all of the Shia Islam, you are very
298. 23:14familiarized with the idea of being sacrificed for a greater cause.
299. 23:20And this sacrifice in jihad and martyrdom by dying for the sake of Allah, you will have
300. 23:27eternal life guaranteed to you.
301. 23:31And then I came back out of my military service, I was almost 22 years old.
302. 23:37When I talked to a friend of mine, which we grew up together, he was medically exempt from
303. 23:41military service.
304. 23:43So we were apart about two years.
305. 23:47And my friend that day, he told me that God has sacrificed his son for my sake, that I
306. 23:56I do not to be sacrificed.
307. 23:59And my sacrifice is a filthy rag before the Holy God because I have many sins, but the
308. 24:05Son of God did not.
309. 24:08And Alex, that's the best thing I've ever heard in my life.
310. 24:11And in the midst of pursuing Allah to become the sacrifice, I heard and know that God has
311. 24:17already provided the ultimate sacrifice.
312. 24:21He has paid for the sin of me and the sin of the whole world.
313. 24:26And the gospel, the good news of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ penetrated my heart
314. 24:32and that deception that I was operating under, that veil of deception was torn.
315. 24:39And I could see that this is the truth and that day I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus
316. 24:43Christ.
317. 24:44And it's been 20 years now.
318. 24:46And it's the one best decision I've ever made in my life to follow Christ.
319. 24:51Amen.
320. 24:52And this is so important, folks, and we need to pray for the conversion of the Islamic
321. 25:00world.
322. 25:03The patriot in me bristles what I think of Sharia in America, but really the compassion
323. 25:11in all of us should be that we pray that the more than one and a half billion humans that
324. 25:20are Islamic.
325. 25:21They need Jesus, just like Muhammad Faridhi found Jesus Christ.
326. 25:26We need to pray that the Muslims all around us would find Jesus Christ.
327. 25:30Muhammad, let me ask you this.
328. 25:32Some of the doctrines that Islam rejects the deity and the incarnation and the crucifixion
329. 25:41resurrection of Christ.
330. 25:43They deny the Trinity.
331. 25:46I know from debates and conversations that they believe the New Testament has been corrupted.
332. 25:53Now all of these things we can answer and we should be able to do that and we have compelling
333. 25:59data, compelling evidence for the Christian faith.
334. 26:03But Muhammad, let me ask you this, in your opinion, does the average Muslim believer walking
335. 26:10around?
336. 26:12Do they care deeply about doctrinal issues?
337. 26:16I mean, is it more cultural or do they invest and study
338. 26:22the doctrines of Islam so that they are thinking about the errors they assume are in Christianity?
339. 26:35It is all of those, the three options you give, it's all those options, all the above,
340. 26:42I should say, because you have the Muslims that are culturally Muslim, they're very
341. 26:48secular, and then you have the Muslims that are practicing Muslims, they're learning
342. 26:54about their religion every day, they go to mosque, they are devoted themselves to the
343. 27:03Islamic teachings and Islamic doctrine.
344. 27:05then you have the ruling class or the we call them the radical or we call them the
345. 27:12jihadi or the fundamentalist but the the third option is are those who really believe
346. 27:20what Islam is is they understand what Islam is what requires of them and they are practicing it
347. 27:29Islam is not a religion that you would say, okay, it's between me and God and this is about an individual life and I'm going to be a good Muslim or a good neighbor.
348. 27:42It is never about that.
349. 27:44Yes, includes those parts that I just talked about, but it is much more beyond that.
350. 27:52that. One of the doctrine of Islam is jihad. Jihad is in the western world, they translate jihad
351. 28:02as a struggle or this is an inner struggle. This is the western translation of it.
352. 28:10Where I grow up and whenever you look at the history of Islam, this article of faith in Islam,
353. 28:17this pillar of faith in Islam, jihad, has been always the holy war. How do you do, how do you
354. 28:24fight this holy war? What Allah requires of you to be a Muslim? Well, Muslims love Muslims,
355. 28:32but hate the non-Muslims. This is an article of faith. And so this tribalism exists, that's why
356. 28:40you see Muslims so bind themselves together very strong because they're commanded to and that
357. 28:47community get it's like an uncle of. So when they gather someplace such as Minneapolis,
358. 28:55Dearborn, whatever it is, they will take over that area to the extent that there is no outside
359. 29:03influence into it. You cannot penetrate it and then we call them the no-go zones. These are
360. 29:10These are the command of Allah and then Allah commands Muslim that they have to fight the
361. 29:17Christians and Jews, they have to fight the policies and until they do not and until the
362. 29:28Islam is not entered every house, until Islam has not ruled every nation, the end will not
363. 29:36come.
364. 29:37peace will not come. So that's yes, there is personal prayers and and all of that
365. 29:44being. But you cannot separate that part of Islam from the imperialistic
366. 29:51invasion that they always the conquest that they always dream about always the
367. 29:59scholars talk about and I can show you in 100 years from 632 when Muhammad died
368. 30:08the self, not this Muhammad, the self diagnosed Prophet of Islam. When he
369. 30:13died in 632 by 732, three-quarter of the Christian world was concurred and
370. 30:23converted to Islam. And they will never stop because this
371. 30:29This is also part of Islam.
372. 30:30Yes, maybe one of the listeners now is saying, so how about my Muslim neighbor who
373. 30:37is gay or they are very nice people?
374. 30:41I mean, we're not talking about them.
375. 30:44We're not talking about individual.
376. 30:46I'm talking to you about the doctrine.
377. 30:49If that very Muslim neighbor that is moderate supposedly or is non-practicing or very culture,
378. 30:56very Muslim goes and starts pursuing the Islamic doctrine goes into the mosques and
379. 31:03start want to become the Muslim Allah wants him to become you will get the Isis the Al-Qaeda
380. 31:12the Hezbollah the jum the Islamic regime of Iran the hutsis of Yemen that's what you're
381. 31:17going to be getting at the end of the day.
382. 31:20You know, the Atlantic dot com, which is not a Christian magazine by any stretch, not even
383. 31:28a conservative magazine.
384. 31:29Two years ago they had a pretty lengthy article and they said that the faithful Muslims are
385. 31:37the jihadists that and they took a lot of criticism, but it was it was the truth that really Islam
386. 31:45The Atlantic wrote, it's not a religion of peace,
387. 31:49but it's a religion of domination,
388. 31:51subjugating the world for Allah,
389. 31:54and that they desire a worldwide caliphate.
390. 31:57Well, we've got to take a brief break.
391. 31:59Alex McFarland here, along with our guest,
392. 32:01our Christian brother, Muhammad Faridhi,
393. 32:04originally from Iran.
394. 32:05We're gonna talk more about the danger
395. 32:10of Islam growing in America,
396. 32:12and what we can do as citizens,
397. 32:14and certainly as Christians,
398. 32:16and what we must do,
399. 32:18stay tuned, we're back after this brief break.
400. 32:30Friends, every day in America,
401. 32:32thousands of babies lose their chance at life.
402. 32:35Yet in the middle of this darkness,
403. 32:36you can be the light.
404. 32:38While the abortion giants are busy ending lives,
405. 32:40pre-borns clinics are on the front line,
406. 32:42saving babies and leading mothers to Christ.
407. 32:45When a mother sees her baby in an ultrasound
408. 32:47and hears that tiny heartbeat,
409. 32:48something wholly happens.
410. 32:50Her heart softens, and most of the time,
411. 32:52she chooses life.
412. 32:54This is Jessica Peck asking you to give out,
413. 32:57ragesly, AFR is believing God to help save
414. 33:015,000 babies this week.

416. 33:06and if you have the means, $15,000 sponsors
417. 33:10an ultrasound machine, so a whole community
418. 33:12can be reached for years to come.
419. 33:14All gifts are tax deductible.

422. 33:34Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One Minute Common Terrets
423. 33:37are available at eafr.net.
424. 33:40Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
425. 33:45Welcome back to the program.
426. 33:47We're going to resume our conversation
427. 33:48with Muhammad Faridhi in just a moment.
428. 33:50But a lot of what we're talking about
429. 33:52relates to apologetics, defending the Bible,
430. 33:56as God's word, defending that Jesus is the risen son of God.
431. 34:00And this summer, I've got the great privilege.
432. 34:02I'll be at the Billy Graham training center
433. 34:05in Western North Carolina, the Cove.
434. 34:08And July 17 through 19, I'll be teaching on Bible prophecy.
435. 34:12And then July 27 through 31,
436. 34:16I'll be doing a class there on apologetics.
437. 34:19And if you so choose schools like Liberty University
438. 34:23Columbia Bible College will give credit for this, but if you would like to learn more and really get
439. 34:30prepared not only for your own walk and witness, but maybe you want to begin to teach in your church
440. 34:37how to defend the Christian faith. I would love to meet you at the Cove, if you want to register,
441. 34:42the website for the Cove Conference Center is thecove.org. And I would love to see you there.
442. 34:52Muhammad and I have the privilege of teaching together at Karis Bible College in Colorado.
443. 34:58I'll be there this summer at their Summer Family Bible Conference. Thousands of people come from
444. 35:04all over the West and even parts of the world to that. And so check out that. We also have
445. 35:10many, many apologetics resources that the Lord's allowed us to create and implement through Karis
446. 35:17Bible College. Muhammad, before we resume our conversation, do you have a website or how
447. 35:23could people contact you if they were interested in learning more or having you speak?
448. 35:29My website or the ministry's website is iranchristians.org.
449. 35:41Speaking of which, as this airs, Iran is front page news here in recent weeks, and sadly so
450. 35:52many people have been killed. Could you bring us up to speed on news of Iran? And do you know
451. 36:00some of the people impacted by the riots and the violence going on there?
452. 36:06Sure, it's been now 16, 17 days of uprising all over Iran, which has started with a plunge
453. 36:17of the Iranian-Rihal or Iranian currency.
454. 36:23Put this in perspective for you, in 1979, $1 was $7,000.
455. 36:32So you give $1, you would get seven two months, seven Iranian, a core dollars, let's say.
456. 36:43Today, it is one to 147,000 two months.
457. 36:50147,000.
458. 36:51That is what Islam brought to Iran.
459. 36:57You remember in the beginning of this program we talked about Iran promised, Islam promised
460. 37:04the Iranian people justice, housing, free transportation.
461. 37:09And this is one of the things that it has done.
462. 37:14One of the fruits of Islam has been the economic collapse.
463. 37:20Absolutely.
464. 37:22The water is unrash and the electricity on ration.
465. 37:26We do not have a viable internet in Iran, and this is what has happened to the currency
466. 37:33of Iran.
467. 37:34We went from the ratio of $1 to $7, $1 to $7 to months.
468. 37:38We went to now $1 to $147 to months.
469. 37:43As a result, Iranian came out.
470. 37:46The shopkeepers in the Bazaar and the market closed.
471. 37:51The unsetalty and the economic situation caused a lot of the shopkeepers, clothes or
472. 37:59shops and Iranian came to protest and 17 days now, 16, 17 days later, they say that the government
473. 38:07has killed between 4,000 to 12,000 people.
474. 38:13And we're talking about tens of thousands of people have been arrested, detained, kidnapped,
475. 38:19in God knows where in custody of this brutal evil regime that has occupied
476. 38:26Iran. And this is the situation in Iran which is, I haven't been, this past five,
477. 38:33six days I haven't been able to talk to my parents. It's been completely black
478. 38:38out situation, on power, on internet, on phone lines. There is no communication,
479. 38:46but brave Iranians, brave young Iranian freedom fighters have been under
480. 38:52streets sacrificing their life to rescue themselves from this evil regime.
481. 38:59On another note, which is absolutely marvelous, it is absolutely amazing.
482. 39:07This past week, Iranians have burned hundreds of mosques.
483. 39:15They have burned it to the ashes inside Iran.
484. 39:18And when I was looking at the how the news and how the situation is unfolding, I was
485. 39:24thinking, my goodness gracious, Iranian who were supposedly Muslims, born and raised Muslims,
486. 39:30now burning down the Islamic centers and the mosques.
487. 39:34here in the West, we're building mosques, we're expanding Islam, we're pandering it, pandering
488. 39:41to it. And I'm just, the irony is just beyond me, Alex, it's just beyond me. What has happened
489. 39:49to the West?
490. 39:50Yeah, let me ask you this. And by the way, we will be praying for your parents. And I
491. 39:57know it's got to be very heavy on your heart. And may God bring peace to that region and
492. 40:04especially the gospel to the Iranian people.
493. 40:08But like when Mamdani won the election in New York City,
494. 40:13was there celebration in any parts of the Islamic world
495. 40:18to your knowledge?
496. 40:20I mean, do Muslims in the Middle East see this
497. 40:24as a victory for Islam in the Western world?
498. 40:29Absolutely.
499. 40:30The Muslim brother who divorced, the worst Islamists
500. 40:34that are banned in many countries around the world,
501. 40:37even in Islamic countries, they celebrate the Hamas,
502. 40:42the Hezbollah type Muslims.
503. 40:44They celebrate the victory of Mamdani.
504. 40:47One of the countries that tremendously was praising
505. 40:53and celebrating this situation was Pakistan and Muslims.
506. 40:56And this is the unfortunate situation
507. 41:00that Muslims are seeing this as the advancement of Islam,
508. 41:06the takeover of Islam in the Western world,
509. 41:09which they believe that Allah is giving them victory.
510. 41:16What advice do you have for Americans
511. 41:20regarding the presence of Islam?
512. 41:23I mean, and I want to talk about personally interacting
513. 41:28and conversing and witnessing,
514. 41:31But you as one who really was, I'm not just going to say you came out of it, you were delivered
515. 41:37out of that belief system and culture. What do you say to Americans, Muhammad?
516. 41:44Exactly. There is the responsibility of an individual Christian, Alex, which is, as an individual
517. 41:54Christian, they are people, we are people, and we have to share the gospel with them.
518. 42:01We have to love on them to the degree to share the truth with them, to tell them that they
519. 42:07are in their sins and trespasses against God, and they need to repent from it and accept
520. 42:13the gift of God, which is Jesus Christ.
521. 42:17the responsibility of an individual Christian. But as a nation, as a government, you have
522. 42:26to completely cut all sorts of Islamic immigration to the West. As long as this stream of Muslims
523. 42:36pouring into the West continues, then you will deal with terrorism, vehicle jihad, they will
524. 42:48take advantage of the social welfare of the nation, the women of that nation would be in
525. 42:56danger.
526. 42:57You see in England, in Sweden, in France, in Germany, how many thousands of Western, supposedly,
527. 43:05Christian girls and women are being raped and groomed by the Pakistani Muslim gangs and
528. 43:12being trafficked.
529. 43:13It is very unfortunate that's the result of Islam and Islamic immigration which is a sane
530. 43:21government which is a government that is elected by the people to defend the people of that nation
531. 43:28has to stop.
532. 43:30These people have to be, this type of immigration has to be absolutely stopped.
533. 43:35If you are coming as an immigrant, you have to prove your loyalty to that nation that
534. 43:43is going to host you. If you're coming to this nation to hate it, if you're coming to
535. 43:49this nation to overtake or take advantage of it or cause problem for it or you're coming
536. 43:59from another culture such as Islam to bring that culture and kind of expand it in this
537. 44:06nation, that is detrimental, that is like poison to any culture. Have you just
538. 44:13Just think with me, just think with me now.
539. 44:16If tomorrow we have 2 million, 3 million Americans can go live in Pakistan.
540. 44:23It will never happen.
541. 44:25It will never happen because Pakistan is no.
542. 44:28They have a culture.
543. 44:30And they will always allow 5, 10, 20, 100 Americans to live there for a short period of
544. 44:37time.
545. 44:38never let their culture to be overwhelmed to the point that is unrecognized. That's the
546. 44:44problem we're seeing now in Minnesota, in Michigan, in Illinois, in New York, in California,
547. 44:51in Texas. That's what we're seeing. So the government as a responsibility of a Christian
548. 44:57government, you have to stop all Islamic immigrations because the small pockets could assimilate.
549. 45:06when you bring big numbers, it will never.
550. 45:09That's the responsibility.
551. 45:10But I know many Christians always misunderstand
552. 45:15the responsibility of a government
553. 45:17and mix it up with the responsibility
554. 45:19of an individual Christian.
555. 45:20They would say, no, God has told us,
556. 45:23we need to love the stranger.
557. 45:26No, God told the people of a nation to love the strangers,
558. 45:30not the governments of them.
559. 45:32Governments are to defend the borders of an nation.
560. 45:36And if somebody coming with an evil intent to take over,
561. 45:42to ruin your lives and destroy your culture, Romans 13,
562. 45:48tells us that the government is to punish the evil doers,
563. 45:54those jihadi's, those people that are infiltrating
564. 45:56the government, taking advantage of the tax funded
565. 46:01or tax paying dollars in Minnesota,
566. 46:04how many more daycares and how many more Medicare
567. 46:09or Medicaid right and how many more fraudulent businesses
568. 46:15you have to see established by Muslims
569. 46:17that you understand.
570. 46:18These people are not here to assimilate
571. 46:22and contribute to the society.
572. 46:24They have come to take advantage of it.
573. 46:26That's the bottom line of it.
574. 46:28And the government's responsibility is
575. 46:30to bring punishment to it, to deal with it.
576. 46:34But then we say, no, we're a Christian nation, we're a Christian.
577. 46:38You are looking at it as an individual Christian.
578. 46:41Yes, you need to do outreach.
579. 46:43I do outreach, Alex.
580. 46:44Last year in our ministry,
581. 46:47many people when I speak about these things,
582. 46:50they call me, what kind of a Christian are you?
583. 46:53I asked them, what kind of a Christian are you?
584. 46:55Last year in our ministry,
585. 46:57We had 1,300 Muslims for sukthir religion and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
586. 47:07Many of them, I have personally baptized.
587. 47:11So please do so spare that conversation.
588. 47:16Spare that virtue signaling me that somehow you are better than me.
589. 47:22No, I love them enough to tell them the truth.
590. 47:25But that's an individual, that's a job of a ministry.
591. 47:30But as a government, the government needs to protect the vulnerable, the women that
592. 47:36are being ganged and groomed and gang raped, God forbid, and they're bringing so much
593. 47:42havoc to a nation.
594. 47:44So please do not mix that up.
595. 47:47There is an individual responsibility and there is the government's responsibility.
596. 47:51And we have to vote as the Bible tells us to vote.
597. 47:56We can be saying, we're Christians, but we vote for the people that hate this nation,
598. 48:01such as Ilhan Omar, such as Rashida Talat.
599. 48:04These people are in the Congo and so on and so forth.
600. 48:07I can go about it.
601. 48:08Well, here's the irony is that the Muslims, the activists like Ilhan Omar and others and
602. 48:15care, they're using the tools of American freedom to eliminate American freedom and liberty.
603. 48:23And folks,
604. 48:24Yeah, and this is not a hidden agenda anymore.
605. 48:29That is not like, man, maybe they're saying it behind the closed doors.
606. 48:35Absolutely not.
607. 48:37It is out of the open.
608. 48:38Muhammad, we're almost out of time.
609. 48:40Forgive me.
610. 48:41Forgive me for interrupting.
611. 48:42But give us your website again, sir.
612. 48:44My website is IranChristians.org, but if you want to hear more of my stuff, if you just
613. 48:53search my name, Muhammad Faridhi, Muhammad Faridhi, I'm on YouTube's Facebook Instagram.
614. 48:59We're almost out of time.
615. 49:01Folks pray for the salvation of the Muslim people and pray for the restoration of America
616. 49:06and our Constitution.
