I Asked an Arab Muslim About Spain… I Wasn’t Ready for His Answer | The Erin Molan Show
2 weeks ago
Political analyst Ahmed Sharif returns to The Erin Molan Show with an urgent warning for Spain — and all of Europe.
Speaking from the UAE, Ahmed offers a perspective Western leaders and media figures may not expect to hear from an Arab Muslim political analyst. He reacts to the shocking scenes emerging from Spain, explains why he considers the crisis an invasion of national sovereignty and warns that Europe could be facing a “ticking time bomb” if its leaders continue to ignore radicalization.
Ahmed and Erin discuss border security, political Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, the difference between genuine compassion and what Ahmed calls “suicidal empathy,” and why some Arab Muslim countries are far less tolerant of radical extremism than Western governments.
Is Spain only the beginning? Can Europe defend its borders, culture and people before it is too late?
