Executive summary
1. What the user is asking and what reporting shows. The user seeks full transcripts or videos of Charlie Kirk’s speeches that referenced Islam or Muslim communities; available reporting identifies several specific instances where Kirk invoked Islam — notably a sermon-like talk titled “Islam Against America” at a Pastors Summit hosted on his show, curated quotes published by The Guardian from speeches and social posts, and BBC coverage of his rhetoric — but the sources provided do not compile a comprehensive public archive of full transcripts for all such speeches [1] [2] [3].
2. Primary source identified: “Islam Against America” (Charlie Kirk Show). The clearest direct source named in the reporting is a Charlie Kirk Show entry titled “Islam Against America: My Speech at the Pastors Summit,” which the show’s website lists as a speech in which Kirk argued Islam is not compatible with Western civilization and framed Islam as a rising threat to the West; the show page indicates audio/video presentation is available through his platform and partner channels such as Salem News Channel [1].
3. Major documented quotes published by mainstream outlets. The Guardian collected and published several of Kirk’s stark statements about Islam and Muslim communities — including that “Islam is not compatible with western civilization” and social‑media content such as “Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America” — and it attributes those lines to his public posts and speeches, though The Guardian reports those as excerpts rather than offering full verbatim transcripts of entire speeches [2].
4. Speeches and debates abroad where Islam was referenced. Reporting from The Guardian also documents Kirk making anti‑immigrant and anti‑Islam remarks during foreign engagements and university debates — for example, comments from appearances at the Cambridge and Oxford unions where he warned about “importing insidious values” and criticized countries he visited — but those accounts present selected quotations and analysis rather than complete speech transcripts [4].
5. Broadcast and radio coverage noting his rhetoric on Islam. The BBC has produced audio features and documentary coverage that contextualize Kirk’s public life and controversies, explicitly citing his views on Islam among other topics; BBC episodes report on the debate over his rhetoric and include audio reportage, yet the BBC pieces function as analysis and reportage rather than archives of his full speeches [3] [5].
6. Interfaith and criticism sources summarizing incidents. Interfaith America and other commentators catalog instances where Kirk allegedly ridiculed or dehumanized Muslim individuals in live forums and question‑and‑answer moments; these sources offer critical narrative and examples but do not supply exhaustive transcripts of the original talks [6].
7. What is available and what is not in the provided reporting. In sum, the provided reporting points to at least one named speech with a direct host page on Kirk’s platform (“Islam Against America” at the Pastors Summit) where audio/video is presented by his team [1], and multiple reputable outlets (The Guardian, BBC, Interfaith America) that publish excerpts, quotes, and analysis documenting his references to Islam [2] [4] [3] [6] [5]. None of the supplied sources, however, assemble a definitive public repository of full transcripts for every speech in which Kirk referenced Islam; where full verbatim transcripts exist, they are most likely to be found on Kirk’s own channels or in longer archives associated with his events, not in the secondary news pieces cited here [1] [2].
8. Competing perspectives and implicit agendas. The Charlie Kirk Show page presents his message as a defense of Western civilization and frames Islam as an existential threat [1], while Guardian and Interfaith America reporting highlight and critique those same claims and their societal effects, reflecting competing editorial perspectives and the broader cultural conflict over free speech versus hate speech that these outlets note [2] [6] [3]. Readers should therefore weigh material hosted by Kirk’s platform as primary source content of his views and treat coverage by outlets like The Guardian and the BBC as editorially framed excerpts and analysis [1] [2] [3].
