Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk with news that the full House of Representatives will soon be voting on legislation that would ban abortions nationwide at 20 weeks of pregnancy. It's called HR-1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

Phyllis Schlafly has been a national leader of the conservative movement for decades. She is the president of Eagle Forum. She has testified before more than 50 congressional and state legislative committees on constitutional, national, defense and national issues. She's the author of numerous books and articles and was named one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century by Ladies Home Journal.

The topic of immigration reform is causing the political atmosphere in Washington to get hotter and hotter. A group known as the Gang of 8 has been pushing legislation known as S-744. The problem is, Phyllis believes that these 8 members of the Senate are not playing by the rules. For example, she explained that this 1,000 page piece of legislation was crafted within one day of hearings with no input from the public. In addition she believes it gives no real security; it's just plans and proposals and that no amount of amending can make it workable.

So at this point there appears to be more questions than answers as people seek a solution to the problem of illegal immigration. For instance:

Why is Republican Marco Rubio saying one thing in English and another to Hispanic individuals as he inverts the steps of border security and amnesty?

Do we owe it to illegals to do something for them as President Obama has communicated?

Are the Democrats seemingly so alien friendly because they feel amnesty will bring in new votes for their party?

Will illegals be required to pay any back taxes? How could the IRS even begin to calculate such an amount since many illegals are allegedly paid in cash?

Jim and Phyllis examine these and other immigration related questions on this vital edition of Crosstalk.

--What about the debate regarding a literal vs. a metaphorical interpretation of Scripture?

--Do we all worship the same God?

--Is it important to be a defender of the faith?

Speaker: Usama Dakdok

This Crosstalk was the second of a two-part broadcast featuring Usama Dakdok of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He spoke at a VCY America rally in April of this year.

Are you aware that Muhammad describes Allah as a "schemer" and that he has no son? That alone should convince any true Christian that the "Allah" of Islam is not the God of the Bible, but there's more.

For example, how did Muhammad's ministry differ from that of Jesus? This broadcast answers that question by offering the following contrasts:

–Jesus made blind eyes see. Muhammad made seeing eyes blind.
–Jesus caused the lame to walk. Muhammad made the walking lame.
–Jesus healed the withered hand. Muhammad cut off the hands of
others.
–Jesus raised the dead. Muhammad had the living killed.

Usama also looks at the role of women in Islam, immigration, how Islamic law supports the radicals and not the so-called "moderate" Muslims, how radicals are invited in to learn about our nation's investigative techniques, and more.

Usama Dakdok was born in Egypt and raised in a Christian home as the son of a Baptist pastor. He became a Christian at the age of 11. Going through Egyptian schools Islam was a mandatory subject. He furthered his knowledge of Islam by studying Islamic law in college. He came to the U.S. in 1992 and several years later in 2001 he founded the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He travels throughout the United States equipping the saints to be effective witnesses of Jesus Christ to their Muslim neighbors as well as ministry to Muslims directly. Usama has conducted a full comprehensive English translation of the Qur’an and he has also released a two-volume set of books, "Exposing the Truth about the Qur’an: The Revelation of Error".

This broadcast is part one from a VCY America rally from April of this year.

According to Usama, Islam is a barbaric and wicked cult. We see that from the phrase that terrorists have been known to exclaim while doing horrific acts. That phrase is "Allah Akbar!" Allah is not God. Allah is Satan. "Akbar" does not mean "great" it means "bigger". In other words, when a Muslim yells, Allah Akbar, he's really saying Satan is bigger.

Islam came along 610 years after Christ's resurrection. Along the way, every non-Arab country was forced into Islam. In fact, if not for the Crusades, America might be a Muslim nation today.

Is there anything more foundational that a person can point to that proves why Islam is at odds with Christianity? The key to that is understanding its leader, Muhammad, who had a very simple message: Jesus is not deity, he did not die on the cross and he did not rise from the dead.

Other things you can learn from this broadcast include:

--The Qur'an contains the words of Allah and the Hadith is the words of Muhammad.
--The definition of "abrogation".
--Why war is decreed for the Muslim.
--The correct meaning of some of the verses of this so-called loving, peaceful religion.
--Why Muslims are not to take Christians and Jews as friends.

While anti-bullying campaigns are all the rage in schools today, outside of that environment there are still those who are bent on violence. Imagine people who look for others to punch to the point of knocking the person unconscious or dead and doing it all for amusement. It's called The Knockout Game and it's been known to occur in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois and Missouri. This kind of activity is a real threat and is just part of the mob violence problem that is occurring across America.

Discussing this topic was Colin Flaherty, a columnist with WND (WorldNetDaily). He deals with this problem in his book, "White Girl Bleed a Lot-The Return of Racial Violence and How the Media Ignore It."

Is concealed carry the answer? Why are some authorities and the media seemingly looking the other way? Why are the predators being viewed by some as victims? These and other similar questions are considered as Vic and Colin take a careful look at this frightening phenomenon.
