This week on I Spy Radio, we’re going behind the headlines to give you the personal, tragic, and deeply moving story of Christianne (“Chris”) Boudreau, a normal, everyday Canadian mom whose son left to join ISIS. She is now reaching out to other families to help them avoid similar tragedies.Don’t miss this tragic yet heartwarming story as a mom seeks out to prevent other families from having to go through this heartache. The response by the Canadian government will shock you. See links below to her organization — they have people overseas who can get kids out if they come to their senses and want to come home.

But first up we talk with Raymond Ibrahim, a Middle-East expert, about the very real threat of ISIS operating right here in the United States — and the special appeal to ISIS to recruit Western youth. Born and raised in the U.S. by Coptic Egyptians, Raymond understands both Western and Eastern cultural mindsets and often works as a “translator” of one to the other. Raymond is an author (Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians and The Al Qaeda Reader), a widely published journalist (NYT, Fox News, The Blaze, CNN, Jerusalem Post, and many others), and a fellow at several think tanks, including the Hoover Institution and David Horowitz Freedom Center. Be sure to check out his awesome articles, below.

This week on I Spy Radio Show, we do what—apparently—no mainstream media news reporter did in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and Jewish deli murders: read the Koran. And ask the hard questions about this “religion of peace” of Hoover Institution research fellow, Dr. Bruce Thornton.

Now that the initial raw emotions have dissipated from the Charlie Hebdo and Paris murders, it’s time to explore how and why these Muslim terrorist attacks happened. This week on I Spy, we go in depth with Hoover Institution research fellow Dr. Bruce Thornton to explore the Islamic faith and to find the truths about the “religion of peace” that the liberal media is too often willing (or complicit) to ignore. We compare and contrast Christian and Muslim ideology and ask the fundamental questions about what drives these terrorists and whether the Charlie Hebdo attacks were truly an anomaly committed by radicals.

And don’t miss what the mainstream media is not telling you about the newest worldwide assault on Christianity and persecution of Christians.

Are the political far Left and Islam kindred spirits? Are American Sniper and Fifty Shades of Grey continuing evidence of America’s cultural divide or just the way it’s always been? And is Fifty Shades a dire indication of the future direction of Hollywood?

This week we talk with James Hirsen of Headline Hollywood, who also has a degree in media psychology to get his perceptions on two recent big box office films on completely different ends of the spectrum: American Sniper and Fifty Shades of Grey. One demonstrates love of county and fighting evil while the other showcases sex and degrading actions towards women. Even some Hollywood insiders were shocked about Fifty Shades’ mainstream release. We’ll talk about the cultural divide happening now in America and whether this is evidence of that divide — and whether it’s indicative of things to come.

Next, we talk to Dr. Andrew Bostom about Islam, the political far left, and the GOP 47 letter to Iran and Netanyahu’s speech. Most I Spy listeners are familiar with the Islamic ideology of taqiya, which makes it permissible to lie to non-believers. But we’ll also talk about the third pillar of Iran’s doctrine of hate, najis. Tune in to hear more about it and how najis is reminiscent of the dehumanizing hatred you sometimes hear from the political far left. Are Islam and the far left kindred spirits? And don’t miss our discussion of the Assembly of Islamic Jurists, which is already operating right here in the US. The Far Left: America’s cultural equivalent of suicide bombers?
