    Episode 4296: TERRORIST STABS AUTHOR OF SATANIC VERSES

    en-usAugust 16, 2022

    About this Episode

    Hezbollah sympathizer, Hadi Matar, acting on a 1989 fatwa 

    issued by Ayatollah Khomeini, attempted to murder author Salman 

    Rushdie as he was about to give a lecture in upstate New York. 

    Is this an isolated incident or does it foretell danger for the West?


    Who is Salman Rushdie? You will hear about his origins, his 

    accolades as an author, and the controversy his book, the Satanic 

    Verses, caused when it was published in 1988. For years, he lived 

    in fear because of the threats on his life. So, what is all the fuss 

    about? Does his book really disrespect the prophet Muhammad? 


    Who is Hadi Matar, 24, and why did he try to murder Rushdie? 

    Was it his radical Islamist beliefs, the reward money from the 

    fatwa, wanting to make his family proud or martyrdom? Though 

    he was born in America, his parents came from a part of 

    Lebanon that was a stronghold of the Iranian-backed terror group 

    Hezbollah. What significance is there in his stabbing Rushdie in 

    the neck? How do we know he’s a terrorist and not just some 

    disgruntled reader who didn’t like the book? 


    Are fatwas just some quaint religious edict whose time has gone - 

    or is this attempted murder connected to the threats against other 

    significant people in the West - John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, an 

    Iranian dissident in Brooklyn, Donald Trump and even JK Rowling?

    Episode 5760: Dark Enigma - Lemuria – The Continent That Sunk Like a Stone or Did It

    Welcome, to our dark descent into the depths of Lemuria – the continent that sunk like a stone... or did it? Today, we embark on a journey through the mists of time, where legend and reality blur into one unsettling enigma. Picture it: a land lost to time, shrouded in mystery and cloaked in shadow. The tale of Lemuria begins in the 19th century, a time when Victorian scholars fancied themselves as armchair adventurers, sipping tea and spinning tales of lost civilizations between rounds of croquet.

    Episode 5756: RAMADAN JIHAD: From Israel to Hollywood

    Why will Ramadan bring about jihad - and not just in the 

    Middle East? Terrorists want us to be afraid, be very afraid. 

    Is there reason to be? Check out this episode of the 

    Terrorist Therapist podcast, and you decide. 


    Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, because

    it is believed that this was when Allah revealed the Koran to 

    Muhammad. It's the time Muslims pray, fast and do good deeds.

    According to the Hadith (ascribed to Muhammad), the reward in 

    the afterlife for good deeds of spiritual significance are magnified

    during Ramadan. Now, you may not think the killing of those who 

    terrorists call ‘infidels’, like Hamas’ October 7 savage rampage, 

    is a ‘good deed’, there are some who do. 


    You will hear how Israelis and Palestinians are ‘waiting for the 

    storm’ during Ramadan and how the holy site in Jerusalem, called 

    the Temple Mount by Israelis, and called the al-Aqsa mosque by 

    Islamists - plays a key role. You’ll also hear about the Houthis, 

    who have already begun their Red Sea terror campaign and plan 

    worse for Ramadan. 


    We’ll also look at what the Pro-Palestinian ’terrorists’ have been 

    doing - from destroying an historic painting of Lord Balfour at 

    Cambridge University, to their mob protest outside the opening 

    of Amsterdam’s National Holocaust Museum to causing chaos 

    at the Oscars in Hollywood. Terrorists don’t believe anything is 

    off-limits, especially when magnified rewards in the afterlife are 

    at stake….
