In this special edition of the program, Dave Gabtz brings together an expert panel including Roger Homefield, Don Mazzella, and Middle East historian IQ Al Rassooli for an unfiltered exploration of global extremism and the threats posed by radical ideological groups.
Across today’s geopolitical landscape, extremist factions continue to shape conflict zones, influence migration patterns, spark cultural tensions, and challenge Western democracies. While many discussions blur the lines between peaceful religious communities and radical actors, this roundtable focuses specifically on violent extremist ideologies—examining how they form, why they spread, and what strategies can effectively counter them.
The panel covers a wide range of critical topics, including:
The rise of radical groups claiming religious justification
How political power vacuums fuel extremist recruitment
Western policy failures and their unintended consequences
Cultural clashes and the challenges of assimilation
National security strategies for the modern world
The importance of distinguishing between religion and radical ideology
Each guest brings deep perspective:
Roger Homefield shares insights into geopolitical power shifts, Don Mazzella examines the media and policy dimensions, and IQ Al Rassooli offers historical and cultural context drawn from decades of Middle Eastern scholarship.
Together, they deliver a thought-provoking discussion designed to inform, challenge, and provide clarity in a world where extremism continues to reshape global politics.
