Usama Dakdok pulls back the curtain on what he describes as the fundamental misunderstandings about Islam, drawing from his unique life experience as a Christian born and raised in Muslim-majority Egypt. With academic training in Sharia law and nearly three decades of ministry experience in America, Dakdok offers a perspective rarely heard in mainstream discourse.

The conversation takes a provocative turn as Dakdok challenges the common framing of Middle Eastern conflict as "Arab-Jewish." He argues the tension stems not from ethnic differences but from specific theological mandates within Islamic texts that position all non-Muslims—not just Jews—as targets for conversion or subjugation. His analysis of Islamic doctrine focuses on what he calls "taqiyya"—religiously-sanctioned deception that allows Muslims to appear friendly toward non-Muslims while harboring different intentions.

Through detailed textual analysis, Dakdok contrasts early Meccan verses of the Quran with later Medini verses, arguing that peaceful passages were systematically replaced by more militant instructions as Muhammad gained political power. He explains the seven pillars of Islam, with particular emphasis on jihad and its connection to afterlife rewards. The concept of guaranteed paradise for martyrdom, complete with detailed descriptions of sensual rewards, serves as motivation for militant action according to Dakdok.

The conversation concludes with his interpretation of biblical prophecy regarding end-time conflicts involving Israel. Unlike past Arab-Israeli wars featuring Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Dakdok believes the prophesied final conflict will involve Turkey and Iran—countries whose current geopolitical positioning might signal approaching fulfillment of these ancient texts. Whether you're seeking deeper understanding of Islamic theology, Middle Eastern geopolitics, or competing religious world views, this unflinching examination offers thought-provoking insights from a rarely-heard perspective.

Usama Dakdok:

Well, my name is Yusama Dakdok. I was born in Egypt a good 55 years ago. I grew up in a Christian home in a Muslim country. I learned about Islam all the years of my life, even up to college, where I have a couple of years studying Sharia Islamic law, Been in America since 1991 and doing the ministry of the Straight Way, of Grace ministry and that is a Christian ministry to the Muslims to help them to understand the truth about the gospel, to lead them to Christ.

Ron Meyers:

Now can you give the listeners a brief overview of the historical roots of the Arab-Jewish conflict?

Usama Dakdok:

Sure sure, absolutely. First of all, I hate to do that but I have to. It is not a problem between Arab and Jews, because when you talk about Arabs, they are Christian Arabs, they are Jewish Arabs and they are Muslim Arabs. They're atheist Arabs. So it is. The conflict is between the Muslims and the Jews and, by the way, it's not just between the Muslims and the Jews, it is the Muslims and the people of the earth. When I talk about the people of the earth, I'm talking about all human, of all backgrounds. So say, somebody is a gay and lesbian? We have a problem between Muslims and gay and lesbian. Somebody is a Buddhist? We have a problem between Muslim and Buddhist? We have.

Usama Dakdok:

It doesn't matter what you believe. If you are an atheist, you don't believe in any God. There is a problem between Muslims and atheists because Islam is a cult. It's not a religion, as some people think.

Usama Dakdok:

It is a savage cult which teach to convert everybody to Islam, even by the age of the soul, as Muhammad, the self-proclaimed prophet of Islam, did a good 1,450 years ago. So the command of Allah to Muhammad is this this is the saying of Muhammad I have been commanded by Allah to engage in war with people Notice he did not say Arab or Chinese people until they say there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is a messenger of Allah. And that is the statement which is called the pillar number one, the pillar of shahada, which Muslims love to repeat in every mosque around the world, even here in America. That is the shahada. So they want everybody to keep Islam by any way, any means, if it is by deception or even by the edge of the sword, as it is written throughout the pages of the Quran, which is a Muslim people book, like the Bible for Christians.

Ron Meyers:

Well, why do they want to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth? Is that tied into what you just said?

Usama Dakdok:

Absolutely, absolutely, because obviously they Jewish people are another group, like Christians, like everybody else, who must submit to Islam. It is, once again, it's not just Jews, but they hate the Jews and hate the Christians simply because Muhammad did everything he can in his early days and when he claimed to be a prophet to draw the Jews and the Christians to believe in him, he spoke very highly of them. I mean, you read in the Quran we favored the people, the Jews, above the world. We made them prophets and we gave them the prophethood and the books. And so Allah spoke very highly, or Muhammad said that Allah, which is the God of Islam, spoke very highly of the Jews and the Christians. He spoke very highly for the Christians. He spoke very highly for the Christians. He spoke very highly for the idol worshiper and he praised their gods Al-Lat and Al-Uzza and the Manat. These are three gods used to be worshipped by his own people in Quraysh. But every time he spoke highly of all these different people tried to make them believe in Islam. It did not work.

Usama Dakdok:

The Jewish people know their Bible, the Christian knows their Bible. So obviously, when you read the Quran, you're going to read about many stories in the Bible, like creation, adam, noah, abraham, moses and everything Muhammad wrote in his Quran is wrong. So that is when the Jews and the Christian corrected him. No, noah did not have one son who drowned. No one actually lived with his three sons and three daughters-in-law and his wife after the flood. So you got this wrong Muhammad. Oh no, no. No, jesus was not born under a palm tree and Jesus is not this. Jesus did not spoke as an infant baby. Jesus did not this. Jesus did not spoke as an infant baby. Jesus did not change birds made out of clay to real birds. He did not create birds out of clay.

Usama Dakdok:

And so when the Jews and the Christians corrected Muhammad about all the errors of his Quran, he disliked them.

Usama Dakdok:

Instead of he, they believe in him, they rejected him. That's why there is hatred has been put in the final verses of the Quran, the late verses of the Quran, where you read about Muhammad is commanded by Allah to perform jihad against the Jews and the Christians, to kill the Jews and the Christians. Now we don't hear in the media, brother Meyer, about the killing of the Christians, because Muslims are just hoping right now to get rid of the Jewish people and then, as they always say, sunday comes after Saturday. So today we're going to kill the Jews these are the people of the Sabbath and tomorrow we're going to kill the Christians and, believe it or not, that is exactly what they're aiming to. The deception of Islam is beyond our imagination that they are here in America, pretend to love the Christians and to love the Americans when in reality, the hatred to the Jews is much smaller than the hatred of the Christians. As they always believe, the Jewish nation is just like a small devil, but the hatred to the Christian is a great statement.

Ron Meyers:

Well, I have friends that have friends who are Muslim and they say they are the nicest, most peaceful people, they're neighbors, we eat dinner together and they would never, never want to hurt me because I'm a Christian. What would you say to?

Usama Dakdok:

that All right, good point, very good point. There is a part of the deception of Islam. It's called taqiyya. What is taqiyya? That is the word of Allah in Quran, shabtar 2 and verse 28. And Allah stated there to the believers, to the Muslim believers, do not take infidels for friends, rather than believers. And whoever does this so he has nothing to do with Allah. And then you have the word accept.

Usama Dakdok:

Exception is all over the verses of the Quran. Accept that you should guard yourself from them cautiously. Which means Muslim can't take Jews for friends. Muslims can't take Christian for friends. Muslim can't take gay and lesbian for friends. For heaven's sake, look what the Muslims are doing in America. They're united in all America together, except it's unity against America. So you will not see any problem of Muslims holding hands with gay and lesbian and Christian and even some of the liberal Jews in America who are standing with the Muslims against Israel.

Usama Dakdok:

So what is this verse about? Quran 228, that is the verse of Taqiyyah that Muslims can lie and take infidels for friends. But if you read the interpretation of that verse by so-called Muslim scholars like Al-Jalalain, the great Muslim scholar, al-jalalain said you can take infidels for friends with your tongue, not with your heart. Why To protect yourself from them when you do not have the upper hand? I'll give you another verse Quran, chapter 47 and verse 35. And in that verse Allah said do not, believers, do not be weak, do not call for peace when you have the upper hand. Now you read the interpretation of Muslim scholars that Muslims can take infidels for friends and they can live in peace with them. And they say that is temporary peace until the Muslims have the upper hand. They can practice that verse when they are foreigners In a new land when they do not have enough people To fight for the sake of Allah. But when the Muslims have the right number of people and the right amount of weapons, they must annihilate all non-Muslim believers.

Usama Dakdok:

Imagine this is not just one or two verses in the Quran. That is the reality of the teaching of Allah in Islam, all the early Meccan verses which Muhammad claimed to receive from Allah in the first 13 years after he claimed to be a prophet, between the age of 40 to the age of 53. 13 years. I can quote you the entire verses of the Quran. You will never see the word jihad. You will never see the word war. You will never see the word kill, you will never see blood. But if I go to the last 10 years of Muhammad claiming to be a prophet and I read to you the Medini verses these are the verses which Muhammad wrote in the Quran After he migrated from Mecca to Medina you will see 79 verses engaging war, 26 verses perform jihad and kill and shed blood.

Usama Dakdok:

A good example Quran 47.4. So when you meet those who became infidels, strike the necks until you have made a great slaughter among them. So, brother, you can read lots of verses in the Quran nice verses, peaceful verses. These are early, obligated verses and Muslims are commanded to practice these verses when they are living in a foreign land, when they do not have the upper hand.

Usama Dakdok:

But you go to Quran 9, 5, for example, it's just, which is known by all Muslim scholars, the verse of the sword, where Allah said when the forbidden months are passed remember now that is the final chapter in the Quran that was written one year before Muhammad died. He was 62 years old at that time Allah said when the forbidden months are passed, and these are the months where normally all the Arabs it doesn't matter if you're a Jew, if you're a Christian, if you're an Asian they practice that verse to live in peace with one another Four months of every year. They don't kill each other. Even if somebody has a right to retaliate because somebody killed his father or his son in the last day before the four forbidden months, he must wait four months. Then he can retaliate. So Allah said, when the forbidden months are passed. So kill the polytheists wherever you find them and besiege them and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush. But if they convert Islam, if they repent, convert Islam and obey the Zakat and perform the prayers, leave the way free. So the only understanding to Quran 9-5, by all the scholars of Islam, which they renamed the verse of the sword, that people have three options from the last year of Muhammad's life until the end of life, we will take your women and your children as concubines and slaves to rape them, to raise Muslim babies, as they did in 57 Muslim countries, including my home country, egypt. Or you convert Islam.

Usama Dakdok:

That verse, brother Meyer, allah using the Quran to abrogate, to cancel, to erase, to delete 124 previous soft verses in the Quran. So this is the reality of Islam. You will see Muslim people in the West who maybe A do not know jack about Islam. They have no idea that there are Quran verses, final word of Allah, teach to kill the Americans. I don't care what you believe, unless you're a Muslim or B, they are the Muslim Imams of America, the leaders of Islam in America, the Muslim Brotherhood of America, by the way, care, for example, the Muslim Brotherhood of Jihadi. Care is the Council on American Islamic Relations, msa, the Muslim Student Association and all these different Jihadi organizations in America. They love to quote early, abrogated verses in the Quran. Why? Because that is part of the deception of Islam.

Ron Meyers:

Now, what do they believe? I've heard mixed things. When they die, when they leave this world, when they have practiced jihad or they brought a war to Israel, what do they believe happens to them?

Usama Dakdok:

Well, in Islam there are seven pillars Muslim practice. They actually teach five of them and they practice two the shahada, which is a false witness, because Muslim must say I bear witness, there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is a messenger of Allah. Well, how can you bear witness to something you've never seen? That's why, when they translate the shahada from Arabic to English, they actually say I believe. No, it is not. I believe there is no God except Allah, but I bear witness. Ashadu means I bear witness.

Usama Dakdok:

Now, the second pillar is they pray five times a day and, sadly, 87% of the Muslim people all over the world do not speak Arabic and they pray in the Arabic language five times a day, which means they actually memorize the words of their prayer without knowing what they're saying. The third pillar is the pillar of Siyam, that's fasting. They fast the month of Ramadan every year, which means they will not eat all day long, but they eat all night long. And, by the way, muslims consume three times more food during the month of Ramadan than any other month of the year, which means they're not fasting. Fasting a day is to fast stop eating for 24 hours. No, they just turn their day to night and then night to day, and here we go 12 hours all night long, eat four or five meals, so obviously that's not fasting. Then they give zakat money they give to the Muslims to perform jihad with. They call it charity, when in reality they use that money to buy the weapon to go on war against Israel or to just support those jihadi who are willing to die for the sake of Allah. Then they do the pillar of hajj, and that is to visit Mecca one time in your life. And if you visit Mecca and kiss that black stone which, by the way, it is made in the shape of a woman vagina, so it is an idol of fertility, and they kiss it, believe it, and when you kiss it you receive forgiveness of your sin, not just the sin of today, but the sin of the future. So it will forgive your sin, past, present and future. Then they do dawah. What is dawah? That's pillar number six. That is when you tell the people about Islam, how beautiful Islam is, how loving Islam is.

Usama Dakdok:

And those are just the radicals, those are just the extremists which, by the way, when you read the Quran, the Quran is very clear Allah can break the Muslim to two types true Muslim believers and hypocrites. And when we talk about true Muslim believers, allah said to them all the verses, especially the final word of Allah in the Quran to kill, to perform jihad, to shed blood. These are the believers, all you who have believed. When Allah said, all you who have believed, he's not talking to some weirdo hypocrite, he's talking to the true Muslim believers. Those who believed performed jihad. I Muslim believers, those who believed performed jihad, I'm sorry. Those who believed, immigrated and performed jihad for the sake of Allah. Quran, chapter 9, verse 20, 21. Those are the highest degree, those are the best, those who are the winners. And Allah speak of the believers to be the jihadi, to be the extreme, but in America they lie. Oh, these are the radicals. So they do dawah to help inviting American people to Islam.

Usama Dakdok:

The final one, which is the most important, which is the pillar of jihad. You can practice the first six pillars of Islam and when you die, you maybe make it to heaven. You maybe will not make it to heaven. They call it the garden or the paradise in Islam. But if you perform jihad and you die while you perform jihad, you have 100% guarantee you're going to make it to paradise and in paradise, you'll have these 72 forever versions. These are beautiful women. The Bible is very clear, brother Meyer, that in heaven they do not marry and remain, they don't have sex. They will be like the angels of god. And, by the way, in heaven there is no night, it's one long day. So how in the world muhammad can lie and deceive all these people? To make them first of all said we're gonna go fight the romans, we're gonna go fight the greeks, we're gonna fight the people of the world and we, we're going to kill their men and we're going to take their women and their daughters as concubines and slaves where you can have sex with them and enjoy them. And they said oh, what if we die? Oh, if you die, it's even better. If you die, you're going to get to the garden and you have these 72 forever versions. So that is why Muslims love to perform jihad, love to die for the sake of Allah to get to paradise.

Usama Dakdok:

Notice now in the Quran there's a verse where Allah said O you prophet, provoke the believers to perform jihad against the infidels and the hypocrites. So Allah ordered Muhammad and the Muslim believers not only to kill the infidels, Jews and the Christians and others who will submit to Islam, but also to perform jihad against the hypocrites. And one may ask who are the hypocrites? Allah said and he might know them these are the hypocrites. By if you tell him come, perform jihad for the sake of Allah. Or contribute mean give money towards the jihad, because I mean war costs money. You have to pay money for the family of those who will die, if they will get killed, they will say these are the hypocrites. If we know how to engage in war, we would have followed you. They are closer that day to infidelity than to believe.

Usama Dakdok:

So the hypocrites are the Muslims whom we call in America moderate Muslims loving peaceful Muslims because they are practicing the opposite of the teaching of Allah.

Usama Dakdok:

They will not kill Christians and Jews, americans and anybody else, and they will not give money towards jihad. These are the hypocrites and that's why Allah, in Quran, chapter 9 and verse 73, ordered Muhammad and the Muslim believers to wipe out, to kill all the hypocrites, the Muslims who do not like to practice Islam, the Muslims who will not perform jihad for the sake of Allah or at least perform jihad with their money to help the Muslims to go in war against the infidels. So this is the message of Islam. Sadly, muslims other ones, who will not perform jihad and die while performing jihad in Islam, they will go to hell for a while and then they will be removed from hell number one to paradise after they pay for their sins, whatever they did not good in this world. But jihadi will make it immediately. The first drop of blood come out of the Muslim. Jihadi will admit him to the paradise to be with these forever versions.

Ron Meyers:

What do you see in your thoughts as you see this war beginning? Maybe will it get intense. Do you think it will be over in just a short amount of time? What's your thoughts?

Usama Dakdok:

Absolutely.

Usama Dakdok:

The Bible is very clear. If this is the final war and I'm talking about the final war, so I don't want anybody to take me to Yusama said, because you may have a few more years of peace, 10 more years of peace, 20 more years of peace, but the Bible is very clear there will be seven nations going to war against Israel. Seven nations Russia will help, iran will be there. It's amazing, brother Meyer, if you look at these major three wars we have with Israel 1948 and 1967 and 1973, in these and Egypt, and when we examine the scripture to see about these final wars, because every time when we have these wars in the past, some people say here it is, it is the final war, here it is, we're getting the end of time. But they were the wrong players, because the Bible did not say that Egypt will go in war with Israel in the final war, nor Saudi Arabia will go in war with Israel in the final war. And in these three major wars we have in the past with Israel, saudi Arabia and Egypt were involved with weapon and people Wait a minute. So these were not the right final war. Yes, indeed, they were not the final war. Why? Because the Bible said Saudi will not be in it, egypt will not be in it, but the Bible said Turkey will be in it in the final war and Iran will be in it in the final war. So wait a minute. Turkey and Iran were friends with Israel in the previous three major wars Actually the total of seven wars if you want to count the small ones as well. So how in the world Turkey were not involved in these wars and Iran was not involved in these major wars? Because these were not the original war. But in the final war you're going to see Turkey is involved in the war against Israel and you're going to see Iran involved in this final war. Saudi and Egypt are out. Turkey and Iran will be in the final war.

Usama Dakdok:

So if this is the final war, first of all, iran will not use nuclear weapons. Why? Because it's very clear. The Bible clearly said that Jesus is coming back to rule from Jerusalem with his Jewish people. Very important fact that out of Israel there will be 144,000 missionaries. In the mind and the strength, personally I believe, of the Apostle Paul. Imagine 144,000 Christian Jews who will become a Christian, who will travel the world to share the gospel with the whole world.

Usama Dakdok:

After that war is going to be. So who are the Jewish people? If Iran uses nuclear? If Iran has a nuclear bomb, I promise you they will wipe out Israel and the neighboring country. They don't like the Egyptians, they don't like the Saudis, they don't like the Egyptians, they don't like the Saudi, they don't like the Syrians, they don't like I mean. So they will drop bomb in Israel just to wipe out Israel and the neighboring country. And if they use nuclear bomb, there will not be Jewish people anymore. But the Bible is very clear Jesus coming back to rule in Jerusalem for the thousand years. So obviously the nuclear will not be used against Israel.

Usama Dakdok:

But we know that there are seven nations that are going to go to war against Israel. Two-thirds of the people are going to die Worldwide. It's going to be chaos. It's going to be chaos. So we know that this war is coming. If this is the final days, maybe this is not. Maybe we have to wait 50 years, 100 years from now to come to the final word, but I personally believe we're very close to the end.
