By the sword, by the ship, by the bomb, by the 90s. Now just through the migration policies of the European Union and the United States. Well, they're trying a new strategy, and I think it might be the most effective one of all. Islam is embracing thirst traps. Here is the Sharia Thirstraps going viral on TikTok, trying to win converts to the religion of Muhammad.

Muslims taking over America. Did you know there are over 2,500 mosques in the United States right now? Muhammad is the top 10 most common baby name. Why don't you pick a common name like a normal person? Muhammad is most commonly used name on earth. Islam is the fastest growing religion and has grown over 50% in the last 10 years. Plus, the mayor of New York City is a Muslim, the largest city in the whole of US. So is the mayor of Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, and Minnesota.

The US ambassador for religious freedom. That is literally the office that defends people's rights to practice their faith around the world. It's led by a Muslim. And on top of all that, there is more than a hundred and fifty-five people. Muslim elected officials across 33 states. Is the U.S. becoming a Muslim country now? What do you guys think? Yeah, I guess it will be.

Gotta go get out now, please. Because she's right about the fact. Yes, the Muslims are coming here in huge numbers. They're retaining political power. They're having a ton of kids, in part funded by defrauding the welfare system. And the Native American population, the Christian population, has many, many fewer children than the Muslims do. So, yeah, Islam is taking over America

through mass migration and the strength of their political communities. That's true. That doesn't seem like a great thing. Because then the promises that America can be like Somalia or Iran or Iraq. Or something like that. And I don't, is that... I don't know. To me, that TikTok would have the opposite effect of the one she wants.

Next one. The wonder the West hates Islam. Think about it. What's the biggest? money makers right now in the West. You've got alcohol, gambling, weapons manufacturing, the sex industry, the financial system with the interest rates, cosmetics, fashion, music, Hollywood. But Islam cripples these industries. Gambling, forbidden. Alcohol, forbidden. Pornography, completely forbidden. And the next interest is forbidden. So if Islam was in power, the current banking system would completely

collapse. At the end of the day, Islam has no commercial value. They hate Islam because it threatens their profits and their power. So she's right that a lot of those industries are bad, like gambling should be restricted. On what ground? I'm shopped, shopped to find that gambling is going on in here. You're winning, sir. Oh, thank you very much. Again, you know, Islam takes this extreme stance, which says that, you know, you can't consume

alcohol at all, whereas, coincidentally in Christianity, it's, in a way, one could say that you can't practice Christianity without alcohol because of... of the Holy Communion because of the sacred wine, which becomes the body and blood of Christ. However, even beyond all of those points, yeah, yeah, I would be fine, you know, getting rid of the pornography industry. That would be wonderful.

Those aren't the biggest moneymakers in the country, though. The closest she gets to is the financial industry and interest rates, which, you know, Islam has that too. They just kind of circumscribe it in a little way. But, I don't know, aren't bigger moneymakers, like the energy industry, for instance? I don't know. I guess, and the Muslim countries have a lot of oil, too.

So that's all true. Now, I'm not going to really, I'm not going to knock Islam for, you know, it's circumscribing certain vices. It just does seem to, as with all things, it seems to go too far, you know, like thinkers from G.K. Chesterton, all the way to Aristotle, point out that you can sometimes err in two ways. You know, you can fall on two sides of error, and so you want to have a via media in the middle. It's good, for instance, to encourage modesty among women. it's bad to murder your daughter for not wearing a headscarf. It's good to discourage drunkenness, but it is bad from totally condemning the fruit of the vine, which is an integral part of Western culture.

And in fact, actually the centerpiece of our Lord's First Miracle with the wedding of Cana. But yeah, we should get rid of pornography. That's fine. There we go. I agree with Islam on something. Next one. Did you know Islam was the first leadership to allow women the women the right to inherit and own property. Meanwhile, in England and USA, they saw women as property until

the 20th century. How does that work? Women have had plenty of rights in England and throughout the West for a long time, long before feminism. Now, I'm no expert on the rights that women are afforded within Islam other than knowing that honor killings are prescribed by the Quran. So I'm not even one who really goes after, oh, the hijab is. you know, so terribly oppressive. I think hijabs can look kind of tasteful. But one thing I object to is when a woman doesn't wear the hijab and then her family murders her. I actually just sat down with a lovely woman who left Islam. She studied in madrasa, Sabatina James, and she explained that she was essentially a slave, very nearly forced into a marriage with her cousin and on the run

because her family tried to murder her for deviating from Islam. In my case, he said, we give you two weeks to come back. And otherwise, please don't let us do what we have to do otherwise. So I don't know. I think the Sharia Thirstrap might have a few facts a little off. Go to Catholicmatch.com. This episode is sponsored by Catholic Match. One thing that gives me hope as the culture is failing is that there are faith-filled families who are still churning out kids, raising kids who can turn things around. Here's a thing.

Christians believe the Bible is the word of God. So Jesus wrote the Bible? No. His disciples did. Oh, and their names were Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, right?

Actually, no. We don't know their names. Wait, so the authors of the gospel are anonymous? Yes, their names were added later. There's actually no solid evidence that the Bible was even written by eyewitnesses or disciples. When was the Bible written? Well, the Gospels were written decades after Jesus. Also known as within living memory.

So what language was the Gospels first written in? Greek. Did the disciples speak Greek? Did Jesus speak Greek? No, they didn't. What language did they speak there? St. Paul spoke free. Aramaic.

So Jesus taught all these sermons in Aramaic, right? Yes, because Jesus primarily preached to villages and rural areas, where Aramaic was the language spoken by the people of that region. Hang on a minute. Let me get this straight. So the Bible we have today is written by unknown authors in a language that Jesus didn't speak in his sermons and it was written years after his death. That's...

It wasn't written before his death, lady. What do you think? So how can the Bible we have today be the word of God? Can I please say something? In the Quran, chapter 546, we believe that the original gospel of Jesus is, in fact, the Word of God. However, it has been changed and altered. That's interesting. What do you guys think?

Okay, so she says some right things, right? Which is, yeah, the Bible's written in Greek and, you know, Christ and the apostles spoke Aramaic. That's true. One point though she makes, it's kind of silly, she says, did you know the Gospels were written after Christ's death? Well, yeah, they wouldn't have been written before Christ. before Christ, it's about that. You don't write a narrative before the events take place. Furthermore, she seems to understand what is meant by the Word of God. The Bible is written as an efficient cause by multiple authors, obviously. You have the books of Moses, you have the books

of the prophets, you have Psalms, you have the Gospels, you have the epistles. So no, it's not, the Bible in no way purports to be written by a single author. To say it is the Word of God means that it is inspired scripture. It's inerrant scripture, but the efficient cause, the guy with the pen writing it down, are individuals throughout history crafting one narrative. So that, I don't know, she just seems to be a little confused about what is even meant by the Bible. Then she goes on, she kind of embraces the historical critical ideas that we don't really know anything about who wrote the Bible or whatever. You know, it's kind of silly. And furthermore, the notion that within the Roman Empire and the Greek world that people don't know how to translate,

is kind of silly. There are lots of cultures budding up against each other all within one empire, and translation is not so difficult to think. Even beyond all of that, you notice that claim there at the end, she says, well, we believe in the gospel of Jesus. We just think that it was totally corrupted, and it took an Arab 700 years later to figure out what it really meant. This is like every cult leader throughout history. She said, no, no, no, we want the authority of Christianity. We just don't believe what Christians have believed continuously since the age of the apostles and since the incarnation. We just don't believe that because we know better. We, a bunch of Arabs 700 years later, we know what was really going on in Jerusalem and in Bethlehem and Nazareth in the first century.

And what's our evidence? It came to me in a dream. That actually often is their evidence. It came to me in a dream, bro. So if you're going to question the accuracy of the Gospels because they were written a few decades after the events that they're describing, wouldn't you have to question the Quran's account of the true gospel of Jesus that was written 600, 600 years later or thereabouts in a totally different place? In a totally different language? Also in a totally different language? That would seem to be the case to me. This is why I find the Islam simping among Christians to be so odious, because sometimes they'll say, actually, you know, Muslims really admire Christ and they really admire Mary. I say no they don't they lie about them. The Quran says

explicitly that they crucified him not. The Quran denies explicitly the central event in the history of the world when Christ conquers death on the cross. How could you say the Quran is respectful toward Christ? They deny his divinity and his conquest of death and then they lie about him. They have the audacity to, and really ignorance, to appropriate him and to make him into some false God of their own making. It's not respectful at all. I mean, St. Paul writes, and was the letter to the Philippians, 318. There are many walking now, and I tell you even weeping who are enemies of the cross of Christ, enemies of the cross of Christ. What does that describe? Next one. Muslims want to bring Shia law to the United States. Do you even know what Sharia law is?

Feeding the poor, that sharia, smiling at someone, that sharia. Being kind to your neighbor. Education for every child, women's right to work. Marriage must be between two consenting adults. That is Sharia. Respecting your parents, workers' right to fair pay. No interest loan, so there's no poverty. The current court system is derived from Sharia. Democracy is Sharia.

Hospitals have been built on Sharia law. We're already living under Sharia law. So what exactly are you fearing? Okay, so some of that is entailed by Sharia law. that's true. Also chopping the hands off thieves. Also flogging people for minor offenses and killing people for minor offenses and murdering people for converting from Islam to other religions, including the true religion. That's Sharia. That's also Sharia law. So it's true. It's not that she's saying things that are totally untrue. It's that she's giving a partial view of the truth, which is in itself a lie. though she does say something that's untrue there. She says,

Islam believes in Sharia law prescribes no interest loans, which means there's no poverty. And I say, okay, I guess it could prescribe no interest loans or it could take a strong stance against usury, which is fine by me. But I'm pretty sure Muslim countries are pretty poor. Have you know, is like is Yemen just a flourishing, material, abundant society?

Is that, is Somalia? Because as far as I can tell, half the Somalian economy is just money that Somalis in America sent back there, much of which is defrauded from the taxpayer. So I don't know. That part doesn't make a lot of sense. It's that a little partial view of the truth. It tells you a whole big lie.

Okay, the thirst trap didn't work on me. Did she work on you? What's her name, Lily Jay? Yeah. That's not the most Muslim-sounding name I've ever heard. I'm skeptical. Is someone funding Lily Jay? Maybe just the Sims on TikTok.
