Welcome back, friends! We began the week considering an Israeli’s perspective on superpowers and new global alliances. Today’s post follows up on that perspective because the Israeli author mentioned “direct connection[s] between the United States, the European Union, and China – and jihadists in the Middle East.” What about those Middle East jihadists? What is their objective?

Have you ever wondered what’s behind Hamas’ brutal attacks on October 7? Or Hezbollah’s attacks from Lebanon and Syria. What about the Houthi attacks on Israel (and the US)? Why does Iran fund terrorist proxies and boldly state their desire to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? ls it simply a military or a political issue, or is it much greater than that?

It is far greater. What I fear we fail to recognize in the West is that global alignments are shifting. Take a look at the structure and objectives of Islam:

Similar to the idea of Seven Mountains Dominion theology that guides some Faith Movement churches, Muslims have Five Arms, to establish the rule of Allah on Earth.

1. MILITARY ARM:

- Liberate occupied Muslim lands from non-Islamic governance.
- Rule Islamic territories through force-backed Sharia implementation.
- Expand the borders of Dar al-Islam by conquest, terror, and warfare.
- Strike fear into the hearts of disbelievers.
- Destroy minorities, punish apostates, and dismantle any resistance to Allah’s law.
- Obey the divine call to wage jihad until all religion is for Allah.

2. POLITICAL ARM:

- Control parliaments and city councils.
- Infiltrate Western legal and democratic systems using rights language and civil liberties against themselves.
- Write, influence, and lobby for constitutions aligned with Islamic values.
- Push blasphemy and hate speech laws to criminalize criticism of Islam.
- Weaponize identity politics (race, gender, post-colonial guilt) to silence opposition.
- Defend terrorists as freedom fighters under the guise of “resistance.”
- Recruit useful idiots to serve the cause.

3. RELIGIOUS ARM:

- Educate and indoctrinate from the pulpit, classroom, and prison cell.
- Equip new missionaries, scholars, and legal jihadists.
- Ignite emotional and spiritual fire in Muslim youth with identity-driven rhetoric.
- Sustain ideological zeal through Friday sermons, fatwas, and community control.
- Provide logistical support for conversions, cultural takeover, and legal preparation for Sharia norms.

4. FINANCIAL ARM:

- Fund Islamic media empires to control narrative and perception.
- Pour billions into universities to shape curriculums and silence criticism.
- Buy influence with bribes, donations, and diplomatic pressure.
- Control key companies and sectors through Islamic finance and business networks.
- Sponsor scholarships and fellowships for Muslims in politics, law, academia, and journalism.
- Use state power to bankroll jihad, soft and hard.

5. The Human Infrastructure:

- Outbreed the natives, weaponize birthrates to tip demographic scales.
- Use immigration as a vanguard tool to plant flags in non-Muslim lands.
- Islamize neighborhoods, schools, and cities through sheer numbers and cultural insistence.
- Convert the disillusioned, Latinos, African Americans, women, with identity politics and false empowerment.
- Form voting blocs, school boards, and social coalitions to build influence from the ground up.
- Serve as cultural enforcers, silencing critics, mobilizing outrage, and normalizing Sharia expectations.

Undoubtedly, Islam’s overall objective is to rule the earth in every realm possible. Dear believing friends, if you think Islam’s ultimate aim is simply Israel, take a closer look at what has happened to Europe. Europe is all but an Islamic-conquered land, and we are seeing the same steps being taken in America. Need proof? Demonstrations like this take place in Washington and around the US regularly:

The “Muslimization” of America is happening, and too many Americans are either uninformed or uninterested. However, this is only a small part of what is happening globally. The Israeli perspective we considered yesterday warns of global shifting of geopolitical alliances.

It should be no one’s surprise that Netanyahu came to America to meet with an administration who has pledged to stand with Israel. It is in the best interest of both. How will alliances in the future shake out? What will China do? What will Russia do? What will the jihadists in the Middle East do? So, here are some questions to consider:

1. Does the Trump administration have a glimpse into something most Americans don’t see?
2. Is our geopolitical world dramatically changing?
3. If so, along what lines?
4. Will America continue to stand with Israel?
5. Will the US-European coalition remain or will we begin to see new coalitions built?
6. If new coalitions, what will draw nations into new alliances?
7. What place will the US, China and Russia have on a newly-created geographical playing field?

For years I have said Israel and the United States are inextricably linked. (That’s a good thing, Biblically!) I think we are about to find out just how important that is. What comes out of the Trump-Netanyahu summit is critical to how the US progresses globally.

It’s time to pray, my friends! Our US leaders and Israeli leaders need wisdom and courage. Take a moment now to pray for them!
