Jack Hibbs Podcast — "Islamic Insider Speaks Out"

Date: November 20, 2025
Host: Jack Hibbs
Guest: Hediya Mirmati (Former Muslim, National Security Specialist, Christian)

Episode Overview

In this pivotal episode, Jack Hibbs welcomes Hediya Mirmati—an Iranian-American former Muslim with deep experience in national security—to speak candidly about the historical, ideological, and current sociopolitical advance of Islam in America and the West. The conversation urges Christians to wake up to the expansionist aims of Islamic ideology, the complicity (or apathy) of the American church and culture, and the urgent need for spiritual and political engagement. Hediya offers unique insider perspectives on Sharia, the doctrine of taqiyah (religious deception), recent Muslim political victories in the US, and the spiritual consequences and choices facing the nation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Hediya's Background & Purpose of Episode

• Hediya's story: Born and raised Muslim to Iranian parents, served at high levels in US government, later became a Christian (03:18).
• Episode urgency: Jack emphasizes the information is rarely discussed in mainstream or international media and is critical for Christians to understand (00:33).

2. Historical Context of Islamic Expansion

• Historical conquests: Hediya outlines how, after Muhammad, Islam rapidly conquered Christian territories in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe (03:57–06:39).
  • "All of the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, these are all Christian lands. Once the Islamic army advances outside of Mecca...almost that entire region that was Christendom is conquered." — Hediya (03:57)
• Crusades: Reframed as a long-delayed Christian reaction after centuries of persecution as opposed to unprovoked violence (06:08).
• Persistence of ideology: The goal of Islamic dominance has been constant throughout history—whether military, demographic, or cultural (07:18).
  • "It's at the root of Islam. They've never denied that. It's a global expansionist doctrine." — Hediya (07:18)

3. Modern Islamic Influence in America

• Political victories: 42 Muslim Americans were recently elected to office, bringing the total to 280 (10:13).
• Sharia and U.S. Constitution: Discussion about the incompatibility of devout adherence to Sharia and allegiance to the US Constitution (12:01).
  • "You cannot be a true Muslim and be a constitutionalist. Is that correct?" — Jack (12:30)

Notable Example: Hamtramck ("Sharia City") — Michigan

• Entirely Muslim city council; animal sacrifices, call to prayer at 3:30–5:30am allowed (10:56).
• Trump's nomination of the Hamtramck mayor to ambassadorship raised as a strategic play for Muslim votes (13:15, 33:13).

4. Doctrinal Concepts: Taqiyah & Hudna

• Taqiyah: Religious permission to deceive in support of Islamic advancement (13:46–14:54).
  • "It's okay to look Western, act Western, speak Western all the while. As long as Allah knows that your motive is to conquer in his name." — Jack (14:54)
• Hudna: True meaning of "peace treaty" in Islamic context—a temporary cessation of hostilities to regroup and strike again (15:11–15:56).
  • "So it's a temporary peace. It doesn't have the same meaning as an American peace agreement..." — Hediya (15:42)

5. Cultural & Spiritual Crisis in America

• Apathy & spiritual vacuum: Christian and Jewish retreat from cultural engagement has allowed Muslim and Marxist ideologies to flourish (18:45–19:42).
  • "It's basically dug this hole where all of these deviant ideologies...are just filling this vacuum." — Hediya (18:45)
• Urgency for Christian action: The church must activate, inform, and stand up for Judeo-Christian values, including in local political arenas (19:59, 38:12, 42:05).

6. Red-Green(-Blue) Alliance

• Jack outlines the emerging coalition of radical leftists (red), Islamists (green), and elements of the Democratic Party (blue), with financial and ideological backing by globalist interests (30:59–32:44).
• Both Republican and Democratic parties have opened positions to Muslim politicians for strategic reasons, not ideological alignment (34:10).

7. Islam & Interfaith Myths

• Allah is not the same God: Hediya stresses the irreconcilable theological differences—the Quran’s Allah is not the triune God of the Bible (23:00).
• Misinterpretation in schools: K-12 and university education whitewashes Islamic history and presents a falsely benevolent narrative (39:15–40:27).

8. Pathways of Islamic Expansion (Cultural Jihad)

• Phase two: After WWI, expansion continues via demographic, political, and cultural "jihad" (29:56).
• Muslim Brotherhood, Marxism, and infiltration: The Red-Green (and now Blue) alliance seeks to undermine Judeo-Christian foundations by exploiting cultural weaknesses (29:56–31:29).

9. Recent Examples & Geographic Expansion

• Texas, Idaho “Islamic enclaves”: Texas "Epic City" and planned Qatari military installation in Idaho underscore new Islamic strongholds, often shielded under neutral façades (51:03, 55:26, 56:03).
• CAIR's own data: CAIR maps show the rapid growth of Muslim elected officials by state; California (26), Michigan (37), Illinois (15), Massachusetts (10) with an upward trend (50:26–51:35).

10. Inconsistencies in Progressive Alignment

• While progressives ally with Islamists politically, they ignore irreconcilable differences—such as Islam's scriptural condemnation of homosexuality and the violent suppression of LGBTQ+ rights (60:01–61:42).
  • "Islam...in its religious doctrine...says kill the sexually aberrant." — Jack (60:52)
  • Example: Hamtramck’s Muslim council banned Pride flags (61:35).

11. Islamophobia: Manufactured Label

• The term is used as a silencing tactic, not a genuine description of irrational fear (63:23–64:10).
  • "A phobia is an irrational fear. I have no irrational fear of Islam." — Raymond Ibrahim, cited by Hediya (64:02)

12. Geopolitical Deals and Security Concerns

• US-Qatar deals: Military bases in Idaho and policy concessions are being made to state sponsors of terrorism in the name of diplomacy and peace (55:26–58:31).
  • "We fund the problem and then bring the solution." — Hediya (56:34)

13. Prophetic and Biblical Reflections

• Ezekiel 38, Weakening America: The discussion turns to end-times prophecy—how American decline prepares the way for Israel's isolation (67:24–70:57).
• Long-view strategies: Adversaries like China and Islamists think in 100-year timespans, compared to short American electoral cycles (66:28).

14. Call for Spiritual and Civic Engagement

• Hediya offers to train churches in Islamic ideology and cultural engagement (37:44).
• Christians urged to reclaim a comprehensive, biblically-based worldview—including politics, schools, and culture (38:23, 42:05).

15. Personal Testimony and Gospel Appeal

• Hediya appeals directly to Muslims, especially women, to seek the truth about Jesus and salvation through Christ—not merely a prophet but the Son of God and savior (80:20–81:47).
  • "The greatest secret about salvation that I never knew...is that Jesus saves." — Hediya (80:20)
  • "I met Jesus on YouTube, so Jesus will meet you where you are." — Hediya (81:47)
