A few weeks have passed since the mega 3 million page Epstein files drop, and in its light many theories have popped up as to why so many of the files were released and what it reveals about the Satanists who run the modern world.

Jacob/Ya’qub (peace be upon him) occupies a central and enduring place in both Judaism and Islam, though the theological framing of his significance differs across the two traditions. In Judaism, Jacob’s importance is inseparable from his transformation into Israel (Yisrael), the name bestowed upon him after he supposedly “wrestled” with “the divine being” in Genesis […] The post Jacob Between Judaism and Islam: Are Jews Deceivers? appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/04/05/jacob-between-judaism-islam/

In contemporary polemical and ideological discourse, the phrase “Christ is King” has re-emerged and become quite widespread, often within highly polarized cultural and political contexts.

This is a guest post by Ismail Moosa. Introduction Over the last few centuries, the Muslim world has experienced a tumultuous period politically, economically, militarily, and academically.

Ali Larijani has been killed by the American-Israeli coalition.

Ayatollah Khamenei has been killed. His adversaries ultimately granted him what he had often described as the most desirable end: to be martyred for his cause/beliefs.

Ethnonationalism can be understood as an immense moral distortion.

In the current geopolitical climate, public discourse has conditioned many to recognize only two “Iranic” actors, i.e., the Kurds and the Persians, as salient forces in the Muslim world.
