Are you tired of hearing that Islam is a religion of peace while terrorist plots are uncovered, beheadings of prisoners are broadcast on the Internet, and carnage in Iraq has become routine? Are you fed up with the politically correct whitewashing of the obviously grim realities of radical Islam? Kevin J. Ryan will be our guest to expose Islamist ideology for what it really is and to help you develop your own Radical Eye.

Are some religions with their doctrines and practices more apt to inspire hatred and violence than others? Are the people who commit horrible acts in the name of their faith carrying out or corrupting the true message of their religion? What sorts of people are most prone to religious extremism? Social psychologist Dr. Neil Kressel draws on modern examples from Christianity and Islam to explore the psychology of fanatics and the dangers they pose to themselves, believers and non-believers.

With a practicing Mormon as a serious contender for the Presidency, we thought it important that our listeners learn more about the inner workings of this bizarre cult. Prominent ex-Mormon Richard Packham gives us a rare insider's view of the history, theology, and future intentions of this powerful and growing sect.

I suppose the show should have been called: "Mormonism: The Truth Behind The Magic Underwear." Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum..

Some of you may know Wayne Adkins from his YouTube videos on Biblical errors. Wayne is a former fundamentalist who attended a Baptist College and majored in Pastoral Theology with the intent of becoming a minister- that is until his studies of the Bible led him to conclude that it was full of errors and contradictions. But this is only half the story. You won't believe what happened when student Pastor Adkins became Lt. Adkins and shipped off for Iraq. Adkins tells us the story of how he wound up challenging some of the most fearsome military and political powers in the government.
