IS ISLAMOPHOBIA IRRATIONAL?

Discussed by Simon Hankinson
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)

Twenty-five years after 9/11, a generation is growing up with little memory of the attacks, while debates over terrorism, religion, and free speech continue.

Today, Simon Hankinson warns that efforts to broadly define “Islamophobia” could make it harder to speak honestly about Islamist extremism. Simon is a senior research fellow in the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center and author of “The Ten Woke Commandments”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Have many Americans forgotten what happened on 9/11 and why?

Are Gen-Zer’s clueless to the truth of what happened that day? Simon gives some statistics from 2024 (the latest data available). He also discusses the problem with liberal universities…

Are some Americans becoming afraid to speak honestly about Islamist extremism?

For Muslim fundamentalists, or “Islamists,” is there any separation between politics and religion?

In the US, is any criticism of Islamism quickly labeled “Islamophobia”? THIS is the problem!!

Do we have the right to criticize any religion or denomination – including Baptists, Catholics, and Islamists?

Are we taking too many steps backwards regarding this issue? Simon closes the interview discussing his book, “The Ten Woke Commandments”.

Father God,

Look upon your children with mercy and grace. Remember not our sins as we cry out to you.

In the midst of the turmoil and uncertainty of life, we commit all our ways to you, O Lord, for you are righteous and holy.

Establish our steps and plant our feet on the solid rock of our salvation. Grant us eyes to discern evil and the will to turn from it.

Hold us under your wings and may we dwell in your home forever and forever.

And, dear Lord, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
