In this riveting and timely conversation, Ben Poser discusses the integral role of Jihad in Islam. He explores the historical role of Muhammad in shaping Islamic teachings and the implications of jihad on global conflicts and violence today, particularly in relation to the October 7th attacks. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for understanding how Jihad is impacting our world today. Israel's war against jihadists who are claiming the Holy Land "from the river to the sea" is also our war against Islam's intent to conquer the world - especially territories once under Muslim domination.
