01 - Notice
27 FEB 2024 · The podcast transcript is a summary of a book titled "My life, my Tunisia: Testimony of the Brother-in-law of Salah Karkar, Former Leader of Ennahdha and Former Follower of Shiism" by Massin Kevin Labidi. The book recounts the author's personal experience within a Mahdist Islamist movement in Iran between 1983 and 1990. It sheds light on the rise of the Ayatollahs in Iran and the emergence of a sacred war machine preparing for the return of the Savior, according to mystical Shiite precepts. The author warns about the dangers posed by these Mahdist movements, which rely on sacred texts and aim to impose their vision of the world globally in the name of Islam. The movements share a common objective of dominating the world under the banner of Islam and are willing to cause immense destruction to achieve their goals. The book explores how these movements spread, influence, and seek to destabilize regions while manipulating Muslim populations. It specifically focuses on the infiltration of Shiite Iranian influence within Islamist movements, aiming to become the dominant force everywhere and destroy what they perceive as the satanic Judeo-Christian alliance. The author hopes that his testimony will raise awareness about the insidious threats posed by the Iranian Shiite Ayatollahs and contribute to the fight against them. The book serves as a call to vigilance and highlights the challenges that surround us.
