Show 13-41 Summary: Get some great insight into the Israel-Hamas war and into Israel’s surrounding neighbors. We’re talking with best-selling author, Scott McEwen, co-author of American Sniper, who has a ton of military contacts and special ops insiders he relies on to write his books. We talk about what happened, why it happened, and address some conspiracy theories. And what next? Will Hezbollah attack? What about Iran? Is the two-state solution off the table now? How does Israel build peace with a people who have lied over the last year, saying they want peace when the whole time they were preparing for this attack?

This Week – Israel-Hamas War

On Saturday, October 7th, a Jewish Sabbath after Sukkot (better known as the Feast of Tabernacles in the West), Hamas broke through barriers around the Gaza Strip and invaded Israel. They invaded from multiple points, fired some 5,000 rockets into Israel, and attacked by land and air and even by sea.

The operation, which Hamas dubbed, “al Aqsa Flood,” had apparently been in planning for over a year. A year during which Hamas had been assuring Israel that it wanted peace and normal relations. That it no longer wanted to fight.

Making the mistake of trusting Hamas, Israel was caught off guard. Security watch posts were overwhelmed in the early morning hours. Hamas attacked. By the end of the day, some 1,500 Israelis were dead, including women, babies and infants, and elderly. And another 100–200 Israelis had been kidnapped.

Israel responded by formally declaring war on Hamas.

Was it an intelligence failure? Did Hamas simply deceive a trusting neighbor into complacency? And happened to Israel’s Iron Dome? Did it fail? Did Hamas find out the secret to defeating it? Or did Iran give them technology to help defeat it?

Scott McEwen: Israel-Hamas War Analysis

Israel-Hamas War. Golda Meir Quote: "You cannot negotiate peace with someone who has come to kill you."We welcome back Scott McEwen to talk in depth about the Israel-Hamas war. We had scheduled Scott weeks ago to talk about other issues but after the Hamas terrorist sneak attack and Israel declared war, we scrapped that discussion to spend the full hour on Israel’s war with Hamas.

Scott McEwen is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling, American Sniper, and has his own series of military novels and other non-fiction books about the military and combat operations. (See Scott’s full list of books.) And he has a number of military insiders and contacts, including in special ops, on whom he relies to write his books so accurately.

We talk to Scott about what happened but also how and why it happened. We talk about the $6 billion that the Biden administration handed over to Iran — on the 9/11 anniversary no less. Don’t tell me that didn’t have symbolism for our enemies. America is weak and bowed the knee to Islam.

Infuriating! After Hamas’s attack and a bunch of pro-Hamas rallies break out across Europe — now Henry Kissinger says Europe let in too many foreigners? Now he says it? Kissinger and his globalist goons were the ones pushing the mass immigration.

But we also wanted his military insights into what comes next in the Israel-Hamas War. A Gaza invasion. Will the larger terrorist organization, Hezbollah, join in and attack Israel from the north? What about Syria and Lebanon?

We also address some of the conspiracy theories that are already surfacing. But what does all of this look like in the long-term? Is the two-state “solution” now officially off the table? And how does Israel have normal relations with its neighbors going forward?

And it’s more than Hamas crossing into Israel. What about the incursion on our own Southern border? Could we be seeing terrorist attacks here at home?

The Las Vegas Shooting — Former Jihadist Reveals what FBI & Media are Ignoring

The Las Vegas Shooting — Former Jihadist Reveals what FBI & Media are Ignoring

Show Summary: Was it terrorism? For an agency that has taken eleven months and still can’t figure out what Russia did or didn’t do, the FBI took about 30 minutes to be absolutely certain the Las Vegas shooting wasn’t at all related to Islamic terrorism. Except ISIS says it was. The pundits have been eagerly spread the lie about ISIS making false claims about the Philippines casino attack, that it wasn’t ISIS—except our guest tells us the pundits are wrong and spreading a lie. It was ISIS. A former jihadist tells us what the FBI and media are missing and ignoring about the Las Vegas shooting and the shooter. Don’t miss the alarming influence of women in the jihadist movement. Yes, women. Find out what they’re willing to do and where and how they’ve infiltrated.

Original Air Dates: Oct 7 & 8, 2017 | Kamal Saleem, a former cultural jihadist with the PLO and Muslim Brotherhood
Did you miss the show? See when, where, and how to listen to I Spy

In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, the FBI has rushed to claim that the event was in no way involved with terrorism and certainly not ISIS. Except ISIS said the Las Vegas shooter was one of theirs. And they said this not just once, but three times. The media pundits and “experts” have rushed to spread the lie that “Well, ISIS has made these kind of statements before, claiming responsibility when it wasn’t them.” Almost everyone of them cite the example of ISIS claiming the attack on the casino in the Philippines wasn’t ISIS.

Except they’re wrong. Why are the FBI and media pundits spreading this lie?

Las Vegas Shooting

Tune in to hear a former jihadist, Kamal Saleem, detail what the media and FBI are ignoring about the Las Vegas shooting. And the evidence that the Philippines casino really was ISIS related.

Even if you assume the media is correct about the Philippines, that would be the only time that ISIS lied about their assertions.  Whereas, if we look at the FBI’s track record, they’ve been wrong every time.  Think San Bernardino or Orlando or Ft. Hood as an examples—all of which the FBI said weren’t Islamic terrorism, only to find out they were.

This week we turn to Kamal Saleem, president of Koome Ministries. Kamal is a former Jihadist who was sent to this country to destroy it and instead converted to Christianity and now works to teach others about the Jihadist infiltrations.  We discuss with him the  terrorist events in Las Vegas as the FBI is slowly starting to realize it may indeed have been terrorism after all.

Then, as Democrats try to make this about gun control, Kamal takes us into the evil and hate that comes from ISIS and their ability to manipulate others to fight their fight for them. Remember, just because you’re not a Muslim doesn’t mean that ISIS won’t use you. Don’t miss the evidence that this may be the case for the Las Vegas shooter as well.

The Women of Jihad

Also, don’t’ miss Kamal’s alarming revelations about the women of the jihadist movement and the roles they play as Westerners overlook them.  You’ll hear the details of how women are being used, why we need to wake up to their role as they hide in plain sight and why they are every bit as dangerous as their male jihadist counterparts. Find out what these women are willing to do in the name of Allah, how they get around Islamic rules of conduct, and where and how they’ve infiltrated.

Tune in and help stop the mainstream media from spreading their lies — by knowing the truth.

Summary: Cultural jihad is the Muslim tactic of infiltration and subterfuge; of pretending to be friends while destroying from within. It is a serious and very real threat to America and our American culture. If you’ve ever wondered why hatred is on the rise in America—especially disdain for Christianity and our Judeo-Christian heritage, this is why. On this episode of I Spy Radio, we talk with a former cultural jihadist who explains tactics and methods, destroys the notion of “Islam is a religion of peace”, as well as the difference in his life since converting to Christianity.

Original Air Dates: December 19 & 20, 2015 | Kamal Saleem

On this week’s show we welcome back former jihadist, Kamal Saleem. Kamal had been trained from an early age to wage “cultural jihad,” and after successful operations in Europe, he received a commission from a Saudi Prince to go to America as an operative in the 1980s with the mission of helping to destroy America from within.

Winston Churchhill understood cultural jihad - "The religion of Islam above all others was founded upon the sword…"
“The religion of Islam above all others was founded upon the sword… “

But Kamal left his former religion of radical Islam and found faith and new peace when he turned his life over to Christ. He is now the president of Koome Ministries and has made it his new mission to awaken Americans to the very real danger posed by Islam.

Now as a Christian who understands the radical Islam’s inner workings, mindset, and the trainings of Muslim terrorists, his new mission is to reach out to Muslims to teach them the love of Christ, as well as to warn Christians and Jews about the Islamic enemy that has come to our shore to wage war against us.

In this show you’ll learn:

  • Insights of the San Bernardino shootings
  • Tactics used by Muslim jihadists — whether cultural or military Jihad
  • The other forms of Jihad currently being waged here in the US
  • How radical Islam terrorist cells operate
  • Why there is such a huge divide right now in our country and how it is being orchestrated
  • The Islamic principle of taqiyya (and other means of deception)
  • The differences between Islam and Christianity and what the Christmas Season means to him now

We also ask Kamal for his thoughts on whether Obama is a Christian or a Muslim —and the tell-tale signs of how to know for sure.

Original Air Dates: September 26 & 27, 2015 | Kamal Saleem

Kamal Saleem was recruited at the age of seven to be a martyr for Islam and left his family to join a jihadist training camp where he learned to kill—and to hate. Hate Jews, hate Christians. Hate America. At just seven years old, when American kids were learning to add and subtract, Kamal began smuggling small arms and weapons parts through tunnels into Israel. He was later recruited by the PLO and Muslim Brotherhood, infiltrated Europe, and then was commissioned to come to America to wage cultural jihad. He was among the best of the best jihadists, and chose the Bible Belt to wage war.

Except after infiltrating America, and after beginning to wage his silent war from within, a strange and remarkable thing happened.

A terrible car accident broke his neck, but Kamal was surrounded by the love of devout Christians who nursed him back to health and saved him — not just from death but from the lies and hatred of radical Islam.

Now, despite facing continual death threats to himself and his family, Kamal Saleem travels the country to speak out against Islam. Hear the quiet but real threat of cultural jihad, a sinister plan to destroy America and from within by tearing apart the fabric of its society. Cultural Jihad is very real. It’s happening now. And it’s been happening for three decades.

Don’t miss this incredible story of one man’s new mission in life: to wage war on radical Islam, to reach out to Muslims to let them know they’ve been lied to, and to see Ishmael redeemed.

And here’s something to think about: the same group, the Muslim Brotherhood, that trained Kamal Saleem to kill and to wage cultural jihad, is in the White House right now as advisers to Barack Obama.

  • Another great article on The Project— Radical Islam and Cultural Jihad: “The belief that Islam is a peaceful religion and that Islamic terrorists have twisted that faith to unrecognizable extremes is a false interpretation that surrounds today’s narrative regarding Islam”. Note also that cultural jihad is specifically tied to settlement. In other words, bringing in jihadists under the guise of immigration.
