Description
On September 9, 2026, Jack Hibbs, the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, asked Jay to take over his Wednesday evening speaking slot and talk about the Political problems with Muslims here in the USA.
Jay doesn't usually like to talk about politics publicly, especially the politics of America, so he was reticent to do so, but Jack insisted; so he finally acquiesced, and began his talk by pointing to 4 Muslim politicians and 1 theologian, namely:
Zohran Mamdani (New York), Rashida Tlaib (Michigan), Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (Dearborn), Ilham Omar (Minneapolis), and Dr Yasir Qadhi (Dallas).
He wanted to look at their political platforms, which were all very left-leaning and anything but Islamic, and then used Dr Qadhi to explain why even he, a very conservative Muslim, supported all of them, pointing out that this has always been the playbook of Muslims when trying to gain power in a majority non-Muslim country (what they call "Dar-al-Harb" = House of War), using whoever they could in their desire to gain power at any cost, so that they could then bring about "Dar al-Islam" in those countries.
Jay then wanted to use Iran as a prime example of this same model, where in 1979 the Ayatollah Khomeini employed very left-leaning secular students to come to power, and then quickly turned on them and eradicated them once they were no longer needed, using them as a group of "useful idiots".
Within a week of recording this video at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, the number of people viewing it on their YouTube channel had reached well over 1 million views, and is currently at 1.5 million, suggesting that this is indeed a very hot, yet controversial topic, as you can see by the many passionate comments on their channel.
