What started out with a flourish of executive moves that brought sanity and the hopes of prosperity to America, has quickly moved in a dramatically different direction. Donald trump has been the most pro Israel President we have ever had. Hands down, however since the appointment of Mr. Witkoff with his nefarious ties to Qatar, it sees to have taken a quick turn to ignore Israel. This is not to bash Trump, but he is horrible with the people he surrounds himself with. Ultimately he will be judged by his policies, ie who has his ear. Wake up Mr. Presidents, Advisors can destroy a Presidency.

My greatest concern is his stance with and what to do with Israel. Never divide the land, I repeat never divide the land! Or turn your back on God’s land. Below is a great article that sums up my personal opinion and illustrates a point I just made.

More on the division of the land in the next article. Rh

A Sobering Sign in Washington: White House’s Advisory Board of Religious Liberty Commission – Tania Curado-Koenig 

On May 16, 2025, the White House officially announced the appointment of two controversial figures to President Donald Trump Names Advisory Board Members to the Religious Liberty Commission: Ismail Royer and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, co-founder of Zaytuna College.

Ismail Royer, currently serving as the Director of the Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team at the Religious Freedom Institute, has a complex history. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to weapons charges related to assisting the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba and served over a decade in prison. Since his release, Royer has worked with various nonprofit organizations to promote interfaith dialogue and religious freedom.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is a prominent American Islamic scholar and co-founder of Zaytuna College, the first accredited Muslim liberal arts college in the United States. He has been recognized for his efforts in promoting classical Islamic learning and interfaith understanding. Yusuf has also served as an advisor to the Center for Islamic Studies at Berkeley’s Graduate Theological Union and was a member of the State Department’s Commission on Unalienable Rights during the first Trump administration.

These appointments have stirred concern across multiple sectors. According to an official release by the White House on May 16, 2025, Ismail Royer and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf were formally named as members of the new Advisory Board of Lay Leaders (Source: whitehouse.gov). Meanwhile, coverage by the Times of India highlighted Royer’s past involvement with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) training camps in Pakistan, citing his 2003 conviction and later advocacy work as part of the context surrounding his selection (Source: Times of India).

It is important to reflect that what is being called the ‘Religious Liberty Commission’ could, in practice, become a vehicle for spiritual compromise — a platform that ushers in not liberty, but bondage. If not guarded carefully, it risks enabling the very destruction of the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded. In the name of inclusion, we may be witnessing the erosion of truth.
