Summary

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, observes that one is labeled Islamophobic for conveying plain old Islamic history or for pointing out Islamic denigration of Christianity. Yet, despite clear evidence to the contrary, Muslims will say that Christ was never crucified, and therefore He was never resurrected—and that is deemed to be perfectly politically correct in the current social environment. The oil-rich Middle East is full of enormously affluent men who are ready to use their wealth to aid jihad for the sake of Allah worldwide. Most prominent among cobelligerents is the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has spent $100 billion—perhaps much, much, more—to spread their fundamentalist brand of Islamic jihadism around the globe. According to Thomas Friedman in a provocative New York Times piece titled “Our Radical Islamic BFF, Saudi Arabia,” the “title greatest ‘purveyors of radical Islam’ does not belong to the Iranians. Not even close. That belongs to our putative ally Saudi Arabia.” America enables Saudi terror lords to peddle their poisonous propaganda pills across the planet with impunity. And in coming months we’ll see more puff pieces in the media concerning Saudi Arabia as a result of the new LIV professional gold tour.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Hank Hanegraff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible
0:18.1	Answer Man broadcast with another Hank Unplug Short.
0:23.0	I have to confess I have some rather scattered thoughts in my mind as I speak on this Hank Unplug Short.
0:33.3	The first thought that comes to mind, all of this has to do with Islam in one way or another,
0:38.2	but the first thought that comes to my mind is Nupur Sharma.
0:43.3	A national spokeswoman for India's ruling party just got canned.
0:49.2	Why?
0:49.8	Well, she allegedly said something derogatory about the Prophet Muhammad on one of India's
0:56.0	most watched television networks.
0:58.0	What did she say?
0:59.0	Well, she allegedly said, and it's hard to find a transcript, but she allegedly said that
1:05.0	Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine, which is standard information that you can find in the Muslim world itself.
1:20.6	Ironically, what the Islamic world is now in uproar over is just plain old Islamic history. On the other hand,
1:35.5	if you say anything about the Muslim denigration of Christianity,
1:45.0	you are labeled as Islamophobic,
1:50.0	even though what they're doing is Christophobic.
1:54.0	You know, for example, the Muslims will say that Jesus was never crucified,
2:00.0	and therefore he was never resurrected. And that
2:04.7	in the face of direct evidence to the contrary. Right now, Saudi Arabia is really in the news because of golf.
2:20.7	What they are doing is they're funding a new golf.
2:28.8	And some luminaries like Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Bryson de Chambo, Phil Mickelson, they have all joined
