Walid Shoebat (Arabic: وليد شعيبات) is a Palestinian American Christian who converted from Islam.[1] He lectures on the dangers of Islamic radicalism[1] and is a strong supporter of the state of Israel. Born to a Jordanian Muslim father and a American mother, Shoebat lived during the early part of his life in the village of Beit Sahour,[1] near Bethlehem.
A self-proclaimed apostate Muslim, Walid Shoebat says he converted to Christianity in 1993 and began spreading the word about the "dangers of Islam". He has been interviewed as a terrorism expert on several television programs, including a handful of appearances on CNN and its sister network, HLN, in 2006 and 2007. Critics have questioned his alleged PLO affiliations, which he cites as the grounds for his authority on the subject of militant Islam. [2][3]
Shoebat is also a frequent speaker at Biblical prophecy conferences comparing End Times eschatology in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic sacred texts.
According to the biography on his official website (http://www.shoebat.com/bio.php), Shoebat was born in Bethlehem, the grandson of the Mukhtar of Beit Sahour, whom Shoebat describes as an associate of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammad Amin al-Husayni. Shoebat joined the Palestine Liberation Organization in his youth, and was involved in an attack against an Israeli bank.[2]
Shoebat says that upon his release, he continued his anti-Israeli activism until going to the United States, where he became involved with the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago.[citation needed] Shortly afterwards Shoebat worked as a software engineer and became a US citizen. In 1993, Walid converted to Christianity
Shoebat has appeared on mainstream media around the world, and has been portrayed as an expert witness on a number of documentaries on Islamism.[8]
Shoebat gives lectures to local police departments regarding his belief that "most Muslims seek to impose Sharia in the United States. To prevent this, he said in an interview, he warns officers that "you need to look at the entire pool of Muslims in a community.'"[9] According to the Washington Post: "When Shoebat spoke to the first annual South Dakota Fusion Center Conference in Sioux Falls . . . he told them to monitor Muslim student groups and local mosques and, if possible, tap their phones. 'You can find out a lot of information that way,' he said.
Shoebat argues that parallels exist between radical Islam and Nazism. He says, "Secular dogma like Nazism is less dangerous than Islamofascism that we see today ... because Islamofascism has a religious twist to it; it says 'God the Almighty ordered you to do this'.... It is trying to grow itself in fifty-five Muslim states. So potentially, you could have a success rate of several Nazi Germanys, if these people get their way

Creator's Calendar - Ep 2 - By Michael Rood
What can a Jewish scholar and theologian teach a Christian about
Christianity? Plenty! Michael Rood proves God's power with hold - in -
your - hand evidence. He explodes long - held Christian traditions and
skillfully uses the bible to lead us back to irrefutable truths from the
Word of God. In Book 1: Sodom and Gomorrah Revisited, what
appeared to be distant, non - descript rock formations in the middle of
the sun - parched Israeli desert turn out to be the ashen remains of the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah - still standing and covered with millions
of chunks of brimstone! Join Rood on the shore of the Dead Sea, where
the quest for these ancient cities begins. In Book 2: Truth vs. Tradition: The Heavyweight Battle of the Ages,
traditions can blind us from the truth and cause us to wander in the
myopic fog of man - made religion for an entire lifetime. Join Rood on a
journey ''out of Babylon'' and away from its pagan traditions to
uncover long - lost truths preserved in the Bible. The reader is invited
to leave behind his modern, western Gentile mentality behind as Rood
explores Scriptures from a Hebrew perspective. This is the paradigm
shift for which readers have been waiting their entire lifetimes.
Creator's Calendar - Ep 2 - By Michael Rood
The Creator's Calendar & The Restoration of All Things
Shimon Kefa (Peter) prophesied: "Yahshua ascended into heaven UNTIL the restoration of all things." One of the "all things" now being restored is the Creator's original calendar—the reckoning of time by which the Almighty created and still runs the universe. This is the calendar by which Israel conducted the Temple service, and the reckoning of time that governed when Yahshua went up to Jerusalem to fulfill the Spring Feasts of the LORD. Now, after nearly 2,000 years of religious superstition and ignorance, we can begin to understand the ministry of the Messiah and the Gospel chronology with more precise detail than could have been imagined since the onset of the Dark Ages.
Both Jews and Christians have forsaken the Creator's calendar for an invented reckoning of time. The modern Jewish calendar was invented in Tiberias in 359 of the Common Error, utilizing Babylon astronomy to calculate a complete new reckoning of time. The modern Christian calendar invented in Babylon nearly 4,000 years ago, remains just as pagan as the day it was fabricated.
Join Biblical Historian, Michael Rood and his guest, Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Nehemia Gordon, as they expose both of these man-made calendars and turn to the ancient Hebrew Scriptures to rediscover the Creator's reckoning of time - so that we, the children of light, might not be ignorant of His times and His seasons.
