Mocking Islam: Why Tucker Carlson Is Wrong, but so is Trump
In this episode, I respond to Tucker Carlson’s claim that no decent Christian should ever mock another person’s religion, particularly in the context of Trump’s comments about Iran and Islam. However, Christianity has a long and well-established tradition of mocking false gods, heresies, and destructive belief systems—from the prophet Elijah mocking the priests of Baal, to St. John Chrysostom, St. John of Damascus, and many other saints who openly ridiculed false teachings, including Islam.
I explain why the Iranian regime is not representative of the Iranian people, many of whom are turning away from Islam, and why the West must take the ideological threat of radical Islam seriously rather than pretending it doesn’t exist. I also critique the strange quasi-religious cult forming around Trump, and the influence of prosperity gospel figures like Paula White in the White House

As a Christian, I appreciate your work. Have you made, or will you make a video countering liberal Americans' false view that Mayor Madani is beneficial to NYC? I have seen many online accounts promoting this socialist mayor as some sort of ethical leader compared to that of conservative Christians, of which I am one, rather than as a kind of Trojan horse to introduce Islam to the USA. To me, it's always been obvious from the way that Christian minorities are treated in Muslim-majority nations like Syria and Egypt that once Muslims are in the majority, the repression of non-Muslims really begins. We even see this happening in France and the UK now.
