Ep. 51 | Syrian Scoreboard: Jihadis 1 US 0
Don't miss this episode as Dr Jasser gives some frontline insight into the surprise announcement by President Trump of a pullout of the only 2000 special forces from Syria. Zuhdi explains that while ISIS may be on the run in Syria since 2017 thanks to a more muscular bombardment, jihadists of both the Shia and Sunni extraction are now teeming all over Syria in a bigger threat to the region than ever. Our departure signals an abandonment of our Kurdish allies and a green light to giving up 30 percent of Syria to Khomeinist, Assadist, Turkish, and salafi-Jihadist militants who will decimate and threaten our allies the Kurds and Israel. Why?

The United States playing Game of Thrones is so "circa 20th century #FAIL" and is always far more liability than good. Also, did you know that this week the United Nations actually voted in support of the terror organization HAMAS and its attacks on Israel? Where is the outrage of the free world and the defense of our ally in democracy, Israel? Dr. Jasser sounds off on it all.

What are rational questions Muslims and non-Muslims alike should ask? Meanwhile in France, another celebrity Muslim and arguably one of the most influential Islamists in the West, Tariq Ramadan, has begun his feeble defense against multiple charges of rape.

Ep. 42 | Assassin’s Screed
This week, as the world remains fixated on the Jamal Kashoggi assassination, Dr. Jasser contineus to ask many of the questions too few are asking. Any critique of Kashoggi has been made out by the the media to be synonymous to blasphemy and the sanction of his horrific murder.

Ep. 41 | The Fix is In
The Fix is in for the Islamists. On this week’s Reform This! Dr. Jasser asks why millions of Muslims on social media cheered on #Khabib’s victory over McGregor, caring little about his radicalism or the regime that created him. Instead, the opium of Islamism intoxicates those who love to see a Western fighter pummeled. Also, listen here to get the full unvarnished story about what we know so far about the disappearance of Jamal Kashoggi. The world has no clear answers. Yes, every journalist and activist should be free to speak and not fear torture or death. Ask all the others unheard of in Turkish and Saudi prisons or their families. This week, gauging by the coverage, one thing has become crystal clear, the Left media and its Islamists only seem to care about the death of popular Islamist activists and none of the others.

Ep. 40 | Free Speech: Whose Sword & Whose Shiel...
In this week's episode, Zuhdi looks at the war against Islamism in the West through the lens of free speech thirty years after the Khomeinist fatwa against Salman Rushdie. It's frightening to think that our freedoms in the West are being used as a sword against free thinkers and a shield to protect Islamists. We seemed to have learned nothing from the Rushdie affair and now our entire society is under the threat of blasphemy-like claims of "Islamophobia". The leading Islamist group in the U.S., CAIR epitomizes the tyranny of Islamists against free speech. Also, Ryan Mauro, with the Clarion Intelligence Network, broke the story on Jama'at al-Fuqra. Also, Austria's response to Islamists this week is to outlaw the 4 finger Muslim Brotherhood sign. What should we think about that? Last, this week the UFC world saw Conor McGregor call his opponent's handler a "terrorist snitch". Dr. Jasser discusses how this cross-cultural collision may break the glass on public ignorance about Islamism.

Ep. 39 | Romancing Recip and Rouhani!
Don’t miss this week’s episode as Zuhdi gives you the rundown of why we should be very concerned that leading American Islamists like Nihad Awad of CAIR are in New York City meeting with radical Islamist tyrants on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. There is nothing more emblematic of the dangerous, if not seditious role of American Islamists than this meeting between Awad, Turkey’s Recip Erdogan and Iran’s Hassan Rouhani. Also, Dr. Jasser reflects on how the deep divide between Americans politically is transforming our nation into a cultural war that actually resembles his own deeper long-running efforts inside the Arab and Muslim communities domestically and abroad. Tribalism is Tribalism.

Ep. 38 | Curriculum That Rots The Next Generation
This week Dr. Jasser shares with you an I24News story about an IMPACT study which exposes how the first revision of Palestinian grade school textbooks since 2000 is actually even more radical than ever. Weaving in jihad, martyrdom, and anti-Semitic motifs to every subject from math to literature and biology, the radicalization of the next generation of Palestinian Muslims is baked in. Zuhdi will discuss the only way real reform can happen among Palestinians. Also, a New Jersey grade school commemorates 9-11 by reading a fictional account about “A Boy Named Osama” contemplating Muslims as victims of American culture. Dr. Jasser confronts how disastrous this approach is for Muslims and non-Muslim Americans alike.

Also ISIS's Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi has resurfaced and issued a holiday call to jihad for Muslims. What will they respond? With all the debate over free speech on social media, Zuhdi proposes an Internet Free Speech Bill of Rights to become the standard and end the debate over the role of government and corporate censorship of speech. There is no greater battlefront in the war on Islamism. Last who really thinks the Saudi Private Investment Fund interest in Tesla is about diversification or self-preservation and leverage over their greatest existential threat.

Ep. 33 | Islamismophilia
Join Dr. Jasser this week as he takes a look at the Islamists elected in the primaries this week by the Minnesota Democratic Party including Attorney General candidate Keith Ellison and congressional candidate Ilhan Omar. American Islamists complain about their contrived concept of Islamophobia. Dr. Jasser coins a new term and danger to America: Islamismophilia or Islamistophilia. Then he looks again at the latest with a New Mexico judge's (Judge Backus) unbelievably tone-deaf ruling in favor of militant jihadists at the compound raided earlier this month releasing them on a signature bond. Recent comments from the Tunisian president should give everyone some hope about the possibility for secularism and defeat of Islamism in Muslim majority nations. Last, why a hard line against Turkey is necessary not only as we push for the release of Pastor Andrew Brunson but because of the continued threat against human rights inside Turkey and outside by the spread of Erdogan's Islamism through the region.

Ep. 32 | The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Imam
This week Dr. Jasser dives into what we know so far in the horrific case of child abuse and Islamist radicalization in a New Mexico compound.

The patriarch of the Wahhaj family, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the country’s most pre-eminent Muslim imams, and is a leader in many of the most prominent Islamist organizations. While there is no evidence of Imam Siraj Wahhaj’s direct connection to the militancy of his son and family, his Islamism, which Zuhdi has long warned America about, is of major significance. Dr. Jasser will also share his recent experience at a Muslim Reformer’s conference in Aspen. Last, why the world should care about what may happen soon in Idlib, Syria. The war is not over.

Is the Battle for Islamic Reform Hopeless? - 7/...
In this can't miss podcast, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser looks at yet another terror attack, this time in Toronto where there has been a virtual blackout this week of information related to Faisal Hussein's radical Islamist ideology. Join Zuhdi has he takes a deeper look this week into the pathological community denial in the West's conversations about what motivates radical Islamists. To deny the influence of theocratic ideology in each of these cases actually perpetuates and inflames bigotry that may exist while leaving us even more vulnerable. Also, why on earth shouldn't a convicted radical Islamist terrorist lose his American citizenship upon sentencing and especially upon release from prison after serving 18 years? Last and perhaps most importantly, is the battle for reform within Islam hopeless? Zuhdi shares some personal insights.

This week Dr. Jasser on the heels of providing testimony to the Subcommittee on National Security of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Government Reform will share with you the obvious reality about the "Mothership" and the primary cancer of most radical Sunni Islamist organizations and Muslim Brotherhood.
