• 0:00
  Hey friends, welcome. Today we're going to talk about a controversial mosque in Texas that's
• 0:06
  planning to build an Islamic city and they already have sprawling neighborhoods and not only that
• 0:12
  today's special guest, Tony Garouli from Radical Truth, is going to explain how there are already
• 0:18
  many mosques that are growing and the influence of Islam in Texas in the United States of America.
• 0:27
  That's next. Welcome to World View Matters discussing controversial issues,
• 0:35
  discerning current events, defending biblical Christianity. No topic, off limits.
• 0:44
  And now here's your host David Firazo.
• 0:48
  Hey friends, welcome. Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing the podcast. We're growing
• 0:54
  thank God, praise God and because of you. So we really appreciate your prayers and support. Let's
• 0:59
  bring in Tony Garouli of RadicalTruth.net. He's going to spend some time sharing some insights that we
• 1:05
  probably have missed paying attention to other things regarding Islam and the growth of Muslims
• 1:13
  and mosques and they're those communities, especially in Texas. Tony, good to see you brother.
• 1:17
  Thanks for your time today. It's great to be with you again Dave.
• 1:20
  All right, so before we jump into this, a lot of headlines over at RadicalTruth.net. We're
• 1:24
  going to get to, but I just want to mention we celebrated Easter a few weeks ago and the
• 1:29
  tomb is still empty. So that's the good news. Jesus is Lord. The tomb is still empty and he's
• 1:34
  returning, praise God, but President Trump put out an Easter message that was pretty impressive
• 1:44
  mentioning Christianity, mentioning the sacrifice of Jesus and so much more and it was just such a
• 1:50
  contrast to Joe Biden's message on transgenderism and several years actually last year and I'm
• 1:58
  going to get your response when I read this. So last year from the White House, now therefore I Joseph
• 2:05
  are Biden, President of the United States of America by virtue of the authority vested in me
• 2:10
  by the Constitution and laws of the United States do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024 as transgender
• 2:17
  day of visibility and we're stopping right there because it fell on Easter Sunday and that's what
• 2:22
  they celebrated at the White House. Just your thoughts, I don't know if you had a chance to see
• 2:28
  President Trump's Easter proclamation, but I'll mention that in a minute, but just your thoughts
• 2:34
  on just the contrast having an administration that's at least friendly to Christians and
• 2:40
  respectful of religious freedom and more. Well Trump had said that he would defend Christian
• 2:45
  freedom and obviously he's not trying to create a Christian theocracy in America which people
• 2:50
  are trying to make it out to be, but it's simply remembering not only the foundation of our
• 2:56
  founding documents and that they were founded on the Bible, but also the fact that Jesus Christ
• 3:01
  is Lord and there is one God of the universe and Muslims believe in a God as well, obviously they
• 3:07
  have the wrong God, but obviously Jesus and his perfect life, death and resurrection,
• 3:13
  being the eternal Son of God in human flesh, living the life that we couldn't live, in other
• 3:18
  words sinless, unlike us, and then dying a guilty man's death which we actually deserve. I just
• 3:24
  explained it this way to people. We broke God's law, the Ten Commandments and Jesus paid our five
• 3:29
  and when we repent and put our trust in Christ, then we can be forgiven of our sin and be granted
• 3:34
  the gift of everlasting life and it's great to see a president who acknowledges historical truth
• 3:41
  and I'm not sure if anyone in your audience, I'm sure some of them have, have seen, it was a behind
• 3:46
  the scenes video of Catherine Levitt, I believe is how you pronounce her name, the press secretary
• 3:51
  and she was in the back before walking out, before all of the media people, she actually was praying
• 3:56
  in the back asking the Lord for the words to speak and so on. So definitely a lot of Christians
• 4:02
  in his administration and that is great and yeah, it's exciting to see and obviously we can see
• 4:08
  the exact opposite of that when we look at any Islamic countries that are under and Islamic
• 4:12
  theocracy, there are people here in America trained to say Trump's trying to push what Christian
• 4:19
  nationalism or whatever else. No, it's just simply realizing and remembering what our country
• 4:25
  was founded upon. It's okay to be patriotic, it's okay to be thankful for this nation, this great
• 4:31
  nation in America and the freedoms we have. It's okay but that doesn't necessarily make you
• 4:35
  Christian nationalist but whatever. I was just impressed and by the way she did mention Jesus,
• 4:41
  Jesus just helped me give me clarity and whatever else she prayed. I'm just so thankful,
• 4:46
  not perfect men and women but there are men and women of God in Trump's cabinet. I'm thankful
• 4:51
  for many of those appointments. We also did a show Tony on Paula White Kane who we have some
• 4:57
  concerns about. We know there's a faith office but we also know there's a lot of good people in
• 5:03
  there along with some people whose doctrine you and I would not necessarily support or agree with.
• 5:09
  We don't know who has the most influence on the president but we're thankful. Back to the Easter
• 5:13
  Proclamation then we've got a lot to cover when it comes to Islam in Texas and mosques and all that.
• 5:20
  He said Christians around the world remember the crucifixion of God's only be gotten sun.
• 5:25
  Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and on Easter Sunday we celebrate his glorious resurrection
• 5:30
  and proclaim as Christians have done for nearly 2000 years he is risen through the pain and sacrifice
• 5:37
  of Jesus on that. This is our president. Of Jesus on the cross we saw God's boundless love and devotion
• 5:43
  to all humanity and in that moment of his resurrection history was forever changed with the promise
• 5:50
  of everlasting life as we approach this joy and this was a couple weeks ago as we approach this
• 5:55
  joyous Easter Sunday I wish Christians everywhere are happy and very blessed holiday. America is a
• 6:01
  nation of believers. We need God we want God and with his help we will make our nation stronger,
• 6:07
  safer, greater, more prosperous and more united than ever before. Thank you and happy Easter.
• 6:12
  Now I'm just so blessed it's so refreshing to have an unapologetic proclamation like that and we
• 6:18
  don't need to spend much more time on it we can move on but just a quick thought to wrap it up.
• 6:23
  Yeah it does say they're at the end day Trump more overused his statement to reiterate his promise
• 6:27
  to defend the Christian faith and folks that's what we need to do is Christians first Peter 315
• 6:33
  is defend the Christian faith theologically when we're out there sharing the gospel with people
• 6:38
  and as I always say the gospel is the solution to all of the world's problems including the ones
• 6:43
  that we're going to be talking about today. Yes it's really interesting I mean he is a friend of
• 6:47
  the Christian around the world and he will defend Christians he's against persecution he tried
• 6:53
  to raise awareness in his first term as president and you don't hear much about Nigeria but we have
• 6:59
  a president like this now who's back so we're thankful but now let's go down to Texas in the USA Tony
• 7:08
  I think a lot of people let's start with this whether you say it has something to do with 9-11 or
• 7:14
  whatever but a lot of people are surprised maybe even shocked that there's so much growth of
• 7:21
  Islam and so many mosques that are flourishing particularly in a quote-unquote red state like Texas
• 7:28
  you're overall thoughts on that before we look at some articles. You know people need to realize
• 7:33
  that if they could take over Texas they could take over just about any state in the United States
• 7:38
  figure for how conservative Texas is overall but yeah this has been happening day for a long time
• 7:45
  the as far as the Islamization and there are many cities outside of this area that have been known
• 7:51
  to be Islamized for many years now this just happens to be again making it into the news because
• 7:57
  things do every now and then when enough people make a fuss about it but Islamization of different
• 8:01
  places in Texas has been taking place for a long time and I have a number of those places to talk
• 8:06
  about today but first of all you know as you would saw this epic you know epic is a maybe not
• 8:12
  as popular word now so it was two years ago people saying this is epic that's epic well epic is
• 8:17
  technically an acronym for the East Plano Islamic Center and this is about 18 miles north of Dallas
• 8:24
  and this is a huge complex you're talking about 76,000 square feet and it's interesting because at a
• 8:32
  recent public meeting about this a retired police lieutenant of the Plano police department
• 8:40
  went in there he warned everyone about what has been happening around this area for many years
• 8:46
  including when he was a sergeant and he had many interactions with the people of this community
• 8:51
  but basically had said you know there's 75 residential properties here schools of medical clinic
• 8:56
  multiple businesses and even a financial institution that engages in Sharia compliant
• 9:03
  financial transactions and obviously Sharia or Islamic law is one is one of the main concerns
• 9:09
  that people have about this and that you see the Islamization of other countries that have taken
• 9:14
  place and how as the Muslim population grows they demand more things from Halal food to Islamic
• 9:20
  banking and so on and obviously what people need to know and I have some primary sources where I
• 9:26
  want to share with everyone is that we need to go back 1400 years before we jump to where we are
• 9:32
  now just to help it all make more sense yeah and that's the fact that the goal of Islam now this
• 9:37
  may not be known to your Muslim neighbor or co-worker they may know it but don't really talk about it
• 9:44
  could be a whole lot of factors here but the fact is that the goals of Islam as a religion
• 9:50
  is to have the entire world under Islamic law and that have then that have everyone become Muslim
• 9:56
  now we're seeing the Islamization of western countries and we got to think why is this taking place
• 10:03
  and what measuring rod do we have to let people know if their Muslim neighbor is doing what
• 10:09
  Muhammad said to do or not well first of all we have the Quran which is supposedly the eternal
• 10:15
  word of the law and these revelations that Muhammad supposedly received over 22-23 years of his life
• 10:22
  is now made up of this is known now now known as the Quran so that's the main book that Muslims
• 10:29
  go by but then also we have the biographies of Muhammad these are known as the Syrah this is the
• 10:34
  oldest one right here and this is a pretty thick book now i'm not even going to go in depth into
• 10:41
  the problem of that all of these primary sources of Islam are 150 to over 200 years after the
• 10:50
  life of Muhammad but nevertheless these are the primary sources that Muslims look to now if you take
• 10:58
  the word of the if you take the Quran and you take the Hadith which is the things that Muhammad
• 11:04
  said and did and here is a nine volume set of the Hadith wow okay that that is the things that
• 11:12
  Muhammad said and did and then you have the Quran and and when you take the Quran and you take
• 11:20
  the Sunnah and the Sunnah is the example of Muhammad the example of Muhammad is found in the Quran
• 11:26
  and primarily the Hadith collection that i showed just showed you there so when you take the
• 11:31
  Hadith and the Quran and the in the in the Syrah and all this information that is how you derive
• 11:37
  Sharia which is Islamic law and here are three Islamic law books and there's there's a four major
• 11:44
  schools of Islamic law according to Sunni Muslims the Malaki Shaffeeh humbali and and let me get
• 11:53
  that again here Hanifi Malaki Shaffeeh and Hanbali schools of Islamic law and these are the primary
• 12:00
  sources that Muslims go by if they actually know Islamic theology if they actually follow their own
• 12:06
  religion okay now obviously as Christians we have the Bible and in the Bible we have everything
• 12:12
  that we need to know because that is the biography of Jesus what he said what he did and so on so
• 12:18
  these are the primary sources that we need to have in mind we're talking about what we're talking
• 12:22
  about today so we talked a little bit before we got on the show today how there are some
• 12:28
  just like Christianity there's nominal Christians who maybe don't really follow the whole Bible
• 12:33
  they wouldn't have a biblical worldview then but they call themselves Christians there are also
• 12:37
  Muslims in the same category right yeah yeah there are 1.6 billion Muslims roughly around the
• 12:45
  world so people are saying 1.8 now but yes you have nominal Muslims you have cultural Muslims
• 12:50
  you have Islamists you have jihadists these are four categories that i use in a recent
• 12:55
  presentation that i created but technically they all fall under that umbrella of Muslim the question
• 13:00
  is which of these groups nominal cultural Islamists and jihadists are doing what mahamid said to do
• 13:07
  which of these groups would mahamid say are not his followers which would he say are not Muslims
• 13:13
  quote-unquote so it's all all these need to be factored into what's happening why it's happening
• 13:19
  and we got to ask ourselves why is this taking place in texas why is it being allowed to take place
• 13:26
  and what have Christians not done that's resulting in this taking place
• 13:31
  and by the way we have done shows with you before talking about mahamid and his background and
• 13:37
  how he was about conquest and how he he didn't even a minor howled was his wife
• 13:45
  aisha nine aisha nine years old i was gonna say he consummate it when she was nine but married when
• 13:49
  she was six but yeah yeah so there's so much more that people don't understand about mahamid and
• 13:54
  about Islam we'll talk more about that we'll talk more about texas and this what we would look at
• 13:59
  as a possible Islamic conquest and that's really their goal and when we come back on worldview
• 14:05
  matters we'll be right back today's show is brought to you by harbinger's daily world news
• 14:11
  biblically understood stay informed at harbinger's daily dot com

• 15:02
  you need to look up the great resources there on his website as well tony before we jump into
• 15:07
  more of this story in texas and the concerns there um you shared something before we got in there
• 15:13
  about the the you are in how many different countries now downloads and podcast listeners 123
• 15:20
  countries is that even more than that or what's going on there yeah what's crazy david is that
• 15:25
  up to about a week ago we had downloads in the 88 countries the newest one the most recent was
• 15:30
  South Korea where we had a listener or down person who was downloading all the sudden in the last
• 15:35
  week we've had downloads in 25 to 30 new countries and locations around the world so i don't know
• 15:45
  what exactly is going on yeah one person spread the word or a bunch of people spreading the word
• 15:49
  but it's it's not like one podcast went viral and it's just being downloaded a bunch if i go
• 15:55
  through the list we see uh a smaller number of downloads but pretty much every single thing that
• 16:02
  we've ever put on the platforms so praise god yeah because now the gospel apologetics and
• 16:09
  polemics are in that many more countries yeah praise god for that now go back to texas our
• 16:14
  concerns about what's unfolding there um in what with this article is over at rare foundation
• 16:20
  and that's what it says islamic conquest in texas and they're talking about this mega church is
• 16:26
  being the latest trophy in the mosque expansion war and it says what's unfolding there isn't
• 16:32
  community development it's a religious and territorial conquest where the symbols of christianity
• 16:39
  are being stripped repurposed and replaced to signal islam's dominance over texas soil
• 16:50
  Tony um i understand that you understand that but help our viewers and listeners uh break that
• 16:56
  down because that sounds very concerning to me in that particular story there they've that one
• 17:01
  is simply Muslims trying to buy a mega church and turn it into a mosque so that helps them
• 17:07
  islamize even quicker because there's no need to build yeah they just they're right they just move
• 17:12
  right in and they turn it into a mosque and that has happened throughout the us and through europe
• 17:18
  they are more than happy to buy churches that have shut down which of course is a topic in and of
• 17:23
  itself in a problem that we need to deal with but they will buy shut down churches and turn them
• 17:29
  into mosques in addition to that as we see in epic city that they're trying to build here epic
• 17:35
  ranches and so on there's a number of places in texas where there are there are not necessarily
• 17:41
  buying churches to turn them into mosques they're simply expanding the mosques that are are already
• 17:47
  there and the islamic center of frisco which is about 27 miles north of Dallas they have a 12.5
• 17:54
  million dollar expansion going on and islamic center of fluegerville 16 miles north of austin
• 18:01
  a one million dollar expansions going on and islamic center of urving 10 miles north west of
• 18:06
  Dallas they are they've already had stuff going on for a long time and if you go in that area day
• 18:13
  you actually see street names named after islamic figures there's a whole lot of places in texas
• 18:19
  that have already been islamized and haven't even made it into the moves but there's a lot of
• 18:25
  expansion going on there is the islamic center of obry about 48 miles north of Dallas they
• 18:31
  recently bought 25 acres of land for an expansion project the islamic center of quad cities 48
• 18:37
  miles north of Dallas bought 5.7 acres of land for expansion project and that one that you just
• 18:43
  showed on the screen there that one is 28 miles north east of Dallas and they're trying to buy
• 18:49
  again a 56,000 square foot mega church turn it into a mega mosque so there are there are
• 18:56
  multiple things happening here but the goal of it all is islamization now are they going to come
• 19:03
  out and say that their goal is to islamize the state islamize the nation no why would they
• 19:09
  but that doesn't mean that according to all those primary sources that i just showed a few minutes
• 19:14
  that is the goal of islam yeah so what what has created the atmosphere in europe and in the us
• 19:23
  and even in texas specifically why is the islamization even able to take place in the first place
• 19:30
  our christians not sharing the gospel our christians not defending the christian faith
• 19:35
  why are churches shutting down when it should be churches that are opening churches that are
• 19:40
  expanding so it's the gospel that we need to focus on yes it's the gospel that we need to get out
• 19:46
  there yes um so let's go over to this story over at the daily mail they did an article on the
• 19:52
  epic city as well um and now there's more awareness that has been raised about this but it's epic
• 19:59
  city it would be anchored by a brand new mosque and include a thousand homes green spaces schools
• 20:07
  and governor gregg abbot has promised that the development will never see the light of day
• 20:15
  uh he accused epic of breaking the lawn practicing sharia although we haven't read
• 20:21
  enough articles to see if there's any evidence of that um but tony can you talk about what's
• 20:26
  going on do you think this is going to happen or do you think now that people have caught on more
• 20:30
  texas will become concerned uh what do you see happening there well when he says it'll never
• 20:36
  see the light of day people are still trying to interpret what that means does he mean according to
• 20:41
  the current uh plans as far as the building permits because that's one of the things that they're
• 20:47
  really looking at uh did they get the right permits you figure the more uh lofty an idea is
• 20:53
  for a particular location and what you're dreaming what it's going to look like uh the the bigger it
• 20:58
  is the more chances that there's going to be problems with building codes and stuff like that so
• 21:03
  that's what they're really scrutinizing right now is looking at all of that stuff again even though
• 21:06
  the goal is Islamization they're never going to come out and say that and they even have a lawyer
• 21:11
  now who's now fighting for the Muslims uh you know calling abbot and anyone who's criticizing it
• 21:18
  racist which makes obviously zero sense because Islam is a religion not a race but uh i guess they
• 21:23
  don't want to use the term they don't want to call you a religionist so they call you a racist because
• 21:27
  that you know that that holds more weight apparently but basically they they have a investor group
• 21:34
  that was actually created by the uh epic leadership itself and it's it's a CCP you know great name
• 21:42
  for an investor company in the west but that's an acronym for community capital partners and
• 21:48
  people have to invest in and buy an eighty thousand dollar share in CCP in order to reserve
• 21:58
  a home lot and apparently out of those one thousand and eighty homes there's already five hundred
• 22:04
  that have been purchased quote unquote because people have made eighty thousand dollar investments
• 22:09
  in the shares here but yeah they want a commercial retail space a mosque uh Islamic K through 12
• 22:17
  private school and apparently one of the reasons why they have a 402 acre attractive land in
• 22:24
  Josephine Texas about 60 miles northeast of Dallas is is actually outside the city limits because
• 22:31
  apparently uh there's lower noise restrictions if you're in the country rather than in the city
• 22:37
  and obviously any mosque that is being built is going to want to uh belayer it's uh called a
• 22:44
  prayer through the loudspeakers multiple times a day so that that's another uh uh issue here
• 22:50
  that people have a problem with and so yeah uh April 5th and uh April 14th both uh uh Texas
• 22:57
  attorney general and also the the governor you know came out and said that there are problems
• 23:02
  with this whole situation but again what we will see that does this mean it's going to be shut down
• 23:07
  completely or does it mean that they're just going to have to really scrutinize the paperwork and
• 23:12
  fix a lot of things in order to eventually get it approved let's just say that the whole
• 23:18
  setting is shut down I already gave I already gave you in your audience a list of multiple
• 23:23
  other Islamic centers and multiple other parts of Texas that are expanding and or Muslim groups
• 23:30
  buying churches to turn them into mosques so either way Islamization is taking place yes but the
• 23:36
  gold the solution here Dave is the gospel and Christians and pastors of churches saying hey we
• 23:43
  need to get our church equipped to share the gospel with people because if you aren't comfortable
• 23:47
  sharing the gospel in general if that's an intimidating thing for you the chances of you reaching
• 23:52
  out to a Muslim are virtually zero so we need to get all churches better equipped to do evangelism
• 23:58
  if people go to radicaltruth.net they can contact us and ask we want you to come and do general
• 24:05
  evangelism training for our church because we have the tips tools tactics and principles to
• 24:11
  equip your church that will boost their confidence and will cause the fear factor because evangelism
• 24:18
  spiritual warfare that will cause the fear factor to go down and as long as our love for people's
• 24:23
  greater than our fear we're going to reach out to them but we have the tools and principles and
• 24:28
  tactics to teach you that will allow every single person in your church to share the gospel with
• 24:33
  hundreds of people per year very easily. Now Dave unfortunately some people think share the
• 24:40
  gospel with necessary use words that's that makes about as much sense as feed the hungry if necessary
• 24:47
  use food because you need to use words to share the gospel and we're going to give you guys the
• 24:55
  training that you need to confidently share the gospel with people around you and that's the
• 25:01
  solution to this because Muslims don't have the right Jesus they don't have the right God
• 25:06
  they either have never heard the gospel or they don't understand it one or both so the solution
• 25:12
  to all of this is not looking to trump and thinking oh well for at least four years he's going to
• 25:18
  protect us no don't look to the president as the solution here Jesus is the solution the gospel
• 25:25
  is what people need to hear and if we as Christians go out and share the gospel people who need to
• 25:30
  know and understand it which is virtually everybody that will take care of all this that will stop
• 25:36
  the Islamization that will stop all the other problems that the world has because so many people
• 25:41
  are looking to and serving Satan rather than the God of the universe yeah there's um you know
• 25:48
  there's so many problems when it comes to the declining biblical worldview I just had Dr. George
• 25:53
  Barna on the podcast a few weeks ago um everything all the indicators point to Christian compromise
• 26:00
  and the biblical illiteracy and secularization secularization that's what's happening as these
• 26:08
  mosques are being planted and they're growing um but there's nothing to be afraid of it's not
• 26:13
  just happening in Texas it is around the country but I like what you said the the the solution is
• 26:20
  the gospel to get people saved to build strong churches to get the reestablished the biblical
• 26:26
  worldview in our own churches so that we can be strengthened enough to understand hey we need
• 26:32
  to continue to do the work of Jesus that's why we're here um but yeah this is eye-opening I think
• 26:38
  because as we you said Texas used to be a conservative state um maybe so we'll compare to many but
• 26:46
  yeah compared to many but uh Tony uh we talked about the Muslim brotherhood before and just in our
• 26:51
  government and things like that and uh man it can be overwhelming to think about this as you look at
• 26:58
  Christianity kind of declining but then I see a remnant of strong churches I see some godly men
• 27:04
  of God good pastors I see ministries like yours that are growing and reaching even outside of the
• 27:10
  country and I get a little bit of encouragement I get a little hope and I get a little um just a
• 27:15
  a little sense of well God's gonna still work as long as we're here but we have to do the sharing
• 27:22
