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.

Our Monthly Ministry Partners are the lifeblood of IFA.
Join today.

 

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.

I remember clearly our dark spiritual drought in Europe during the 1990s, especially in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where I lived for 33 years. I was only 30 years old. During that time, ecumenism swept across Europe. The only nourishment we had came from American preachers via TBN. But then came the spread of mosques, the dilution of doctrine, and the persecution of those who dared to preach the gospel to Muslims.

I was among them. As a theology graduate, I taught classes at Albeda College in world religions—until the subject was renamed ‘levensbeschouwing’ (view on life), and I was forced to teach all religions equally. It was no longer about truth, but about appeasement. The terror of radical Islam began to grow from within, dressed in polished suits, well-funded, and socially accepted. The mayor became a Muslim. Society shifted.

We evangelicals fought for an evangelical school and eventually won — but by then, the church was weakened. We were losing youth to Islam, drawn not by faith but by the money, glamour, and influence of Gulf oil oligarchs and UAE propaganda. We saw Dutch, German, and Scandinavian young men and women — beautiful, bright, and full of promise — converting to Islam, seduced by its structure, discipline, and false promises of belonging and purpose.

We European leaders and the Church fell into the trap — not being watchful, and thinking it was a good and amazing thing to reach the Muslims for Christ. But in our zeal, we compromised, and we failed. We underestimated the spiritual battle and overestimated our influence. May America not fail the same way.

And among the prominent names on this commission is Pastor Jentezen Franklin — a man whose voice once echoed across Europe, bringing hope and clarity through the TBN broadcasts during some of our darkest spiritual years. Many of us were strengthened by his boldness and love for the Word.

We, as European leaders, once believed that we could influence from within — that our presence would bring light. But instead, many were slowly drawn into compromise.

I speak to my fellow pastors in Europe from that generation — they understand. But in America, they are not listening.

We are witnessing a convergence: a compromised America elevating controversial voices, even as Israel fights for its prophetic survival.

I have seen this unfold in Europe and the UK — the rise of so-called ‘ecumenism,’ which often dilutes the gospel under the guise of unity. It is now one of the strongest ideological pillars influencing the White House. This is not true spiritual reconciliation; it is a counterfeit unity that weakens the Church’s prophetic voice.

However, we must not forget the values upon which America was founded — values that defend biblical truth and uphold the Judeo-Christian principles that shaped the very fabric of this nation. These are values that honor God, uphold truth, and recognize the covenant God made with Israel. The erosion of these foundations places not just America, but the world, at spiritual risk.

“Gideon’s Chariots” Has Begun

Simultaneously, Israeli forces have launched a major offensive operation in Gaza and northern sectors—known as Operation Gideon’s Chariots. This operation has mobilized tens of thousands of reservists across the nation. These are not just soldiers—they are sons, fathers, and daughters being summoned for a time such as this.

The name is no accident. Gideon, in Scripture, led a small remnant against overwhelming odds—not with human strength, but by the command of the Lord. These modern chariots are not merely tanks and aircraft—they are prophetic instruments of divine purpose.

The war on the ground is intensifying. The war in the spirit is far deeper.

Father God, we pray for wisdom for President Trump, for leader within the faith office within the White House. Alert them to the dangers of appeasing false gods and not recognizing the God of Israel as The One True God….Creator of Heaven and Earth, and Jesus Christ, His Only Son, our Redeemer, Savior of the world, The Lamb sacrificed once and for all, for the sins of the world. There is no other.
Protect our pastors, our seminaries, our churches from compromise. Let the Church arise in strong opposition to the dangerous counterfeit unity of religions. Give us wisdom and much grace to pray and declare Your Sovereign Lordship over all things.

God, may you move upon the hearts of all Americans to seek your face and the truth about your Son. We pray that we would be as wise as serpents, and as gentle as doves. Please send your holy fire upon the world wide church, so that we will evangelize before you return. We pray for miracles and the salvation of many. May you impart holiness on your church. We stand and pray against the lies of the enemy. May Your truth triumph over false religions. In Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen!

I think it is more a concern that it reveals something about Trump’s heart rather than the appointment in and of itself. That is combination with a $400 million dollar jet to be used by President Trump and his allowing donations to his crypto firm, the building of Trump apartments and an 18 hole golf course in the Middle Ages indicate a heart that is not standing firm. His reaching an agreement with Houthis which did not include protection for Israel is concerning.

Father, by Your Holy Spirit help Your kids to rise up, and grab ahold of our faith. And dismantle the works and designs of the enemy that seeks to steal kill and destroy. I pray You bathe President Trump in wisdom and dicernment. Pray as believers we welcome the gentiles, but drive those wicked away from our land. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but wickedness and evil in high places and darkness in the heavenlies… Father destroy this evil in our nation and in the heavenslies and set us free. I ask in Yeshuas name amen

let us not lose sight of the possibility that God is providing an opportunity for these two controversial figures to come to know Him through this commission. Jesus moves in ways that we might not choose. But we have to remain vigilant in prayer and monitoring.

In states, such as Iowa, where school choice vouchers are offered, Muslims are pouncing on the opportunity to open “secular schools” that likely will introduce Islamic teaching surreptitiously. While the motive of the school choice law was to offer competition to public schools who push woke ideology and global “citizenship,” the soft underbelly of this law is likely to be exploited by “moderate” Muslims under the banner of religious freedom and “ecumenism” to eventually establish a majority in the voter rolls to push sharia law and an Islamic caliphate.

Holy Father, we should be ‘hallowing’ Your Name. We have instead been sinning against You greatly. We have not followed Your instructions and we have rebelled against You. For Many years we have tolerated such wickedness and failed to teach the Truth in love and that is just one of the many sins against you. For Many years now You have allowed the enemy to infiltrate and cause havoc in and upon our nation. Without You, the blood of Y’shua, and repentance and revival we are doomed. Forgive ‘us’ of our sexual perversion, greed, and complacency. Forgive ‘us’ of not letting Your Spirit/Ruach reign in our hearts, minds, and in our services. We need a great outpouring of reconciliation to You and Your Ways. Forgive ‘us’ of our pride and for our indifference in the face of evil while others were/are suffering. Holy Spirit Rise up inside of US and raise up a Holy standard against the onslaught of our enemies. Infiltrate their hearts and minds but help us to remain as wise as serpants while we wait for You to do it. Amazing Savior, precious Messiah Y’shua, come and Reign over US. Infiltrate OUR hearts and minds first. Cause us to repent from our sins and love and serve and follow You and Your leading. Good Shepherd, we all like sheep have gone astray. Forgive ‘us’. Guide us. Guard us. Rise up in US and conquer the evil that desires to take over. Thank You that Greater are You Who lives in me/us than he that is in the world. Help US to see our destiny to reap the harvest for Your glory. Help US to do it by Your Spirit. Pour out Your Spirit and strength and rescue US from ourselves and others. We thank You for Your faithfulness and divine intervention. Have mercy on US and heal our land. Bring about true justice, healing, and reconciliation with You and others. In Y’shua’s mighty Name we Praise and Thank You for it. We bless You and thank You for Your Word, Your wisdom, and Your precious Holy Son Y’shua/Jesus. In Whose Name we pray. Amen.

I actually sent a reply to this article when I received it last night:
“Thank you for your Truth-telling! I have been warning about the dangers of accepting ‘religious freedom’ as being the same thing that the authors of our constitution and bill of rights meant when they used the term. It is now interpreted and applied very differently. I contend that it seeks to equalize all religions in our present day, as you experienced, Tania. Whereas they were probably not envisioning anything other than different flavors of Judeo-Christian belief. I contend also that true Christianity is not a religion at all, it is a relationship. But many if not most Christian institutions are a religion, and not all within it know Yeshua, and through Him, know Abba.
Tania, I’m very concerned about this report, because we just heard intel at the IFA Policy and Prayer Conference yesterday in Austin, TX from John Guandolo about the threat of Islam, the OIC, and sharia law. We also heard from the Lt. Governor Dan Patrick who is heading up this Commission. The two of them need to talk! I just told my husband last night on the way home – “Well, at least, there are no Muslims included in this Commission (yet)!” So much for that hope!
I wanted to ask John Guandolo, why the church seems deaf to former Muslims who have tried to sound a warning – like Kamal Saleem, Samaa Habib, son of Hamas, to name a few. I’m appalled at the depth of spiritual blindness in those who claim to know Yeshua, and yet trust that Muslims should be given places of influence in our government. Keep speaking out!!”

YHVH, You have sent many who have rejected Islam and embraced Yeshua to warn us in this nation. And because we have allowed the invasion of the very people who call us “the great satan”, many if not all of them are in mortal danger. Instead of recognizing the danger and heeding Your warning, many believed the lie that “Islam is a peaceful religion”. Wake up Your children, Abba. Call forth the remnant to discern the times, and walk in wisdom and discernment.

Lord Jesus, I pray that everyone involved in this decision making that occurs in the white House, President Trump, included, be given a double portion of Your guidance and wisdom. May anything that does not align with Your will fall to the wayside immediately. Discernment of spirits is vitally important in this situation. Thank you Jesus for all that You do, and all that You are about to do.

If something is true, we must stand on it. If there are some that come against it, we must be prepared to defend the truth by giving evidences. If our evidences are not believed, then we must leave it alone and PRAY for the LORD to convince the hard hearted.

President Trump needs to hear from us, LOUD AND CLEAR, that these 2 Muslims need to be removed from the “Religious Liberty Commission”, ASAP, and instead announce the DANGERS OF ISLAM IN AMERICA, and their INTENDED PURPOSE OF FORCING THIS DEMONIC CULT ON EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN! They have declared, that THIS IS THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE! WE CANT LET THIS HAPPEN, and we need to EXPOSE, AND DENOUNCE any “Christian leader, or church”, that promotes this DANGEROUS MERGE OF Christianity, and Islam! It is like mixing 2 ingredients to make a DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVE! A DANGEROUS, TERRIBLE IDEA! Usama Dakdok, Sharam Hadian, and others are ALSO WARNING ABOUT THIS. TAKE HEED, AND FIGHT THIS NOW, THROUGH PRAYER, AND ACTION!

Trump is probably trying to appease his allies in the Middle East. The ones who gave him a $400 million jet, donated 3.5 billion to his son-in-law’s fund and another $2 billion in a Trump crypto firm and helped fund an 18 hole golf course, and, of course, contributed $6 billion to Mr. Musk’s xAI fund. No wonder Israel is worried.

    Yes, Tom, you are one of the few that will speak UNVARNISHED TRUTH. I am very saddened to now believe, we have been deceived in who Trump was and who he serves–himself first and then Ba’al Mammon–certainly he is NOT EVIDENCING being YOKED to Christ Jesus or working under the WISDOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT–for the Holy Spirit NEVER leads us contrary to SCRIPTURE. NO WHERE in Scripture did YHWH ever advise making ceasefires or deals with AMALEKITES (and the Muslims all operate under an Amalekite-Anti-Christ Spirit.) SCRIPTURE ONLY SAYS in EVERY generation YHWH HE WILL FIGHT the AMALKITES (Exodus 17:16) and NOT to make deals with them! What and who YHWH FIGHTS against–HE WINS and HE TRIUMPHS. We certainly do NOT want to align ourselves with those who CURSE ISRAEL and thus RECEIVE a CURSE (Gen. 12:3, Numbers 24:9) After all, Our King is coming back for that HOLY HILL–which has HIS NAME of EL SHADDAI-the SHIN LETTER engraved in the topography of Mt Zion! (Psalm 99).

    I now believe, by the fruit of his recent acts…that his feet “rushed to do evil”(Proverbs 6:16-19–6 things YHWH HATES, 7 which are DETESTABLE TO HIM). Trump rushed to make Ba’al Mammon MONEY deals with KNOWN AMALEKITE-ANTI-CHRIST MUSLIM nations. QATAR–is the front face for HAMAS & in cahoots with Iran (this is well known in Israel which have endured this horrific 7 fronted war (Ps. 83) since October 7,2023). It was very telling that he skipped Israel while in the Middle East–was he showing his NEW LOYALTY to those who GAVE HIM A NEW SHINY TOY-the plane? LET’s remember that video of him –which he released–no one forced to do so–with a GOLD STATUE of himself in it (about Gaza). Shades of Nebuchadnezzer? I was shocked when I saw that–that is NO joking matter. Anyone with the FEAR of GOD would NOT make such a video. It’s NOT what a man says…it is what a man DOES that shows his heart and who he is. When someone SHOWS you who they are…believe them! DON’t LOOK AWAY…for the days are evil and we need to be “the WISE who will do great exploits”(Dan 11:32–STANDING in FAITH).

    If Trump was truly a Christian, he would NOT have accepted that bribe of “by their fruits you will know them (Matthew 7:16, James 3:12, Luke 6:43-44, Matthew 12:33)
    If Trump was truly a Christian, he would NOT have run to make deal with THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL and OPENLY WORK and PLAN, PLOT and FUND TERRORISM, and who call
    Israel the “Little Satan” and America, “The BIG SATAN”. The Middle Eastern mindset is BASED on TAQIYYA and HUDNAH–Intercessors need to study and learn about Muslim dissembling
    so we can understand the strategies they use against “The People of THE BOOK”. He opened the spiritual doors to alot of Muslim wickedness with those deals! As an Isaiah 62 Watchman I know that you either OPEN THE DOORS to the KING OF GLORY (Ps. 24) and slam them shut against the enemy–or you fling wide open the DOOR TO THE ENEMY and SHAKE HANDS with the Devil and accept MAMMON. Mammon will burn away. If you stand on sand…you will sink! (Matthew 7:24-27) Our Messiah said, “NO ONE can serve God and mammon!”(Matthew 6:24).

    LET us pray for American Intercessors to REPENT by PROXY for America and to cry out that Trump would “produce FRUIT in KEEPING WITH REPENTANCE” (Matthew 3:8) and that in HIS MERCY, Our Father would RELEASE the Holy Spirit in DREAMS, VISIONS and VISITATIONS to RADICALLY ENCOUNTER Our President that He may RETURN to CHRIST (or be SAVED) with ALL HIS HEART, BEG MERCY and FORGIVENESS…so WISDOM will be granted, NEW HUMILITY, OBEDIENCE and BEING YOKED to CHRIST will bear FRUIT so that our government will not become like European nations and embrace Islam–but rather that those who have been elevated to serve our nation will join the Intercessors to TURN OUR NATION BACK to CHRIST that we may KEEP our VOWS of Our Pilgrim Ancestors of 1607, 1620, 1630–that America will bring GLORY to YHWH and advance the Gospel of MESSIAH. We must all now “CHOOSE WHOM we will serve”…since we cannot serve both God and Mammon, nor engage with Amalekite Spirits and Islam and keep our land as Our Spiritual Inheritance, LET US CHOOSE YHWH and STAND ON HIS WORD, like Joshua and Caleb. (Joshua 24:15)

Thank you for this post. My desire is to hear the heart of the Lord and not draw my own conclusion. He has brought me back to his word. No matter what things look like I pray His will be done.
I pray for Muslims to come to Jesus and many are! I am reminded that it was an Ishmaelite that saved Joseph when he was sold by his own brothers. They brought him to Egypt and allowed God to save Joseph and Jacob’s line. Only I Am figures that out. Also note it was Ishmael and Isaac who came together to bury their father, Abraham. No, I’m not sympathetic to their religion, but only trying to hear, and trust God without trying to draw conclusions. In Him I trust.
A few weeks back just after Easter I was encouraged by the Lord to pray for India. A short week later I heard India had attacked Pakistan. Prayed for the Christians there to be strengthened and looked into another dangerous spiritual entity that doesnt tolerate Christianity. I’ve heard it wants to rise even in our country. Praying for the strengthening of Christians in India and conversion. Praying for Muslins to come to Christ. The Cross and Jesus Christ is the only hope.
I pray. Lord, give us wisdom , to pray your will. Lord Give our President wisdom and strength. Thank you for this country. Thank you for the blood of Jesus and your mighty angels. Guide us Lord with your mighty hand. In Jesus name.

I believe that this is an act of appeasement which is the Trojan Horse that carries compromise and then leads to destruction. Woe to America if we don’t call these actions out. We are a Judeo/Christian nation……period! And satan has been chipping away at that covering, that Covenant, for decades. Now he goes for the jugular…..and he does it right under our noses, in plain sight. We keep opening the door and INVITING him in. This would be like handing the keys to your 13 year old daughter ‘s bedroom to a gang member. Wise up, America! We have to stand strong in the Lord! He hands us victory and we hand Him compromise. STOP IT! Repent and return!

Lord watch over our country, close the doors that should not be open. Speak to President Trump through the vessels of your will so loudly that he will not mistake that it is your voice. If he or anyone in his cabinet are making moves that will ultimately cause destruction for evil gain, crush their intention and purpose and reveal your truth. Remove the scales over the eyes of the unbeliever, wake up this nation so that we might give glory to you, our only refuge Al’s strength.

Expose these two wolves in sheep’s clothes of Islamic beliefs which is against our Judeo Christian foundation of or country. They should have never been let it. Their religion is a cult and hates Christians and America. LORD expose and take down every person and weaponization they are plotting against USA, President Trump and his cabinet. GOD you see man’s heart so expose the Muslims wicked tactics at all levels.
I pray discernment on the spirit filled pastors on this board. Like mordecai heard the plots to kill the king let the wicked ones plans be exposed and taken out. Protect the righteous pastors that stand bold and for truth in your work like pastor Gene Bailey. Give President Trump his prayer language and let him see dreams and visions as needed. In JESUS name.

Yes, many, many Christians think it is God’s will that Muslims are brought here in droves so they can be evangelized. Such fallacies in this idea, chief of which is that we can’t even disciple our own children and keep them in the church. Christians don’t understand that Islam is a political ideology that always seeks to dominate. The religion is just a beard for the totalitarianism. We need only to look at Europe now to see how Islam has behaved toward its host nations.

This from Dutch Sheet on Give Him 15 for May 22, 2025 says it all. “One of the fastest ways to create controversy is to mix the subjects of God, government, and the church. It is easy for me to see why the leftist and antichrist elements in our society don’t want God or His Word influencing government. It is inconceivable to me, however, that believers would fall prey to this error. The belief that we are to separate God and government is one of the greatest possible heresies. His influence is meant to permeate EVERY facet of life on Earth. “

It’s very sad that two people who are followers of Islam have been appointed to a religious freedom committee. The history of Islam is anti-Christian and for the most part anti-American although there are some exceptions concerning anti-Americanism. We need to pray that only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be the only one who provides influence for our nation!

Our God is always in control. Please remind and guide President Trump and his advisors to seek God’s guidance continually as they lead the nation and protect it from infiltration of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Remind them and each of us always to preface and end our prayers by saying “as per your will God, not our will” as Jesus did the night before his crucifixion: “Jesus Himself pleaded for God’s will to be done in the Garden of Gethsemane. Prior to His crucifixion, He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39). Jesus was committed to seeing God’s will accomplished, and the prayer “Thy will be done” was a theme of His life.
https://www.gotquestions.org/thy-will-be-done.html

Most simply, to pray, “Thy will be done,” is to ask God to do what He desires.
“How can I learn to trust that God is in control?”
Is God really in control? The concept of the control of God over everything is called the “sovereignty” of God. Nothing gives us strength and confidence like an understanding of the sovereignty of God in our lives. God’s sovereignty is defined as His complete and total independent control over every creature, event, and circumstance at every moment in history. Subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent, God does what He pleases, only as He pleases, always as He pleases. God is in complete control of every molecule in the universe at every moment, and everything that happens is either caused or allowed by Him for His own perfect purposes.
“The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, ‘Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand’” (Isaiah 14:24). Nothing is random or comes by chance, especially not in the lives of believers. He “purposed” it. That means to deliberately resolve to do something. God has resolved to do what He will do, and nothing and no one stands in His way. “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please” (Isaiah 46:10). This is our powerful, purposeful God who is in control of everything. That should bring us great comfort and help to alleviate our fears.” https://www.gotquestions.org/God-is-in-control.html
Amen

Jesus Christ, only You are God, NOT allah! Please and thank You for informing President Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, Kash Patell, and anyone else who is compromising. I think, Jesus, that they have been blackmailed, but You know the Truth, so thank You for making it known because of Mark 4:22 and Luke 12:2. PLEASE FIX THIS COMPROMISE, JESUS! In Your Name, Amen!

2 Israeli Embassy staff members killed outside Jewish museum in Washington, DC- We must all first pray that the values of human decency and love be on this earth. May the one true God – the God of Israel bless those that pray and affirm the truth. May Gods right arm go out against the evil that threatens each of us who live in this dark world.

I’ve been warning the people of God for years about the potential takeover by Islam during the end times. Many refused to accept the warning, but we’re clearly beginning to see the Book of Revelation unfold before our very eyes. Even our small City in Michigan has seen an alarming increase in the Muslims presence within the past few months. Most women clothed in all black with only their eyes showing, and men in Arabian attire, headdress and all! Some have begun to show up in our library! I believe that many of them are illegals. We must continue to pray without fail!
