Help us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim Much of the support for Zionism in the United States stems from an Evangelical Christian background. Our guest today is the Reverend Robert Smith, a lecturer and religious thinker. We examine Christian Zionism and its fundamental principles in depth. He contends that Zionism is deeply connected to the story of America and indeed the story of modernity. You can find Rev. Robert O.
