For many Christians, their deep, personal and peaceful faith is inextricable from every aspect of their life. Making the sign of the cross — or any other religious […]

Look for Jihad’s Union Label
By Andrew Harrod on May 11, 2017 10:42 am

SUMMARY: “Progressives,” including those in the labor movement in the U.S., are rapidly aligning themselves with Islamic political radicalism.

NYC jihad bomber wants light sentence, lawyers complain about his “demonization”
By Robert Spencer on May 11, 2017 10:29 am

Austria: Moderate Muslim asylum seeker guilty of war crimes, killed 20 Syrian soldiers
By Robert Spencer on May 11, 2017 10:10 am

This incident shows up, among other things, the uselessness of vetting procedures. Western authorities are looking for jihadis while denying the motivating ideology that fuels the jihad: it’s a recipe for letting mass murderers into one’s country.

Imam praised as moderate by New York Times arrested for Islamic State ties
By Robert Spencer on May 11, 2017 07:52 am

This underscores yet again what I have said for years: there are sincere Muslim reformers, but there are also a great many deceivers (“War is deceit,” said Muhammad), and it is essentially impossible to tell one from the other. What is even worse about this story is that policy analysts read the New York Times […]
