Islamic State threatens Egyptian Christians with “a river of blood”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 28, 2017 03:55 pm

The Islamic State “has warned Christians living in Egypt that they will pay for their faith with ‘a river of blood.’” It is appalling that while Christians continue to be persecuted by jihadists, far too many Westerners are concerned instead about the victimization of Muslims in the West, which is bogus. “God gave orders to […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 28, 2017 03:51 pm

Houston, Texas  Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan of the Tajweed Institute, who urged Muslims to “fight the Jews in Palestine” in a sermon in early December, now speaks out about his desire to “repair the damage caused by his remarks.” Well of course he is “apologetic.” He was busted. This is precisely what my warning to Icelanders […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Garry Wills, Qur’anic Scholar
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 28, 2017 03:43 pm

Garry Wills’s What the Qur’an Meant and Why It Matters begins with a statement of his certainties. He knows that students of the Qur’an, like himself, “must deal with militant misuses of it” and “blatantly distorted reports of what it says.” Garry Wills knows better. For if the militants understood the Qur’an correctly, then they […]

CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper: “Islamophobia” worse under Trump than after 9/11
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 28, 2017 01:01 pm

That “loathsome,” manipulative word, pushed hard by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, emerges again: “Islamophobia.” This time, it is to malign Donald Trump. Muslims in America are more vulnerable to bigotry and Islamophobia as a result of Donald Trump’s behaviour and actions than they were after the 9/11 attacks, according to a leading Muslim activist. No one can actually point […]

Iran votes overwhelmingly to declare Jerusalem the capital of “Palestine”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 28, 2017 08:19 am

The jihadist state of Iran is now recognizing Jerusalem as the permanent capital of “Palestine.” This is no surprise, as Iran cut all ties with Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War, has been furiously advancing Palestinian propaganda, and finances Hamas (despite temporary political fallouts over Syria), Hizballah, Islamic Jihad and other jihadist organizations dedicated to […]

By Raymond Ibrahim on Dec 28, 2017 08:00 am

President Trump’s new National Security strategy is not only notable for what it brings back to the paradigm — words such as “jihadi” and “sharia” — but in what it gets rid of, namely, the long held, much entrenched notion that Israel is the root source of all the turmoil plaguing the Middle East. According […]

Haroon Moghul: Christians don’t have a Christmas monopoly on Jesus. Muslims honor him too
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 28, 2017 07:37 am

Christians remain the safe target for agenda-driven, the cowardly, the appeasers and the grossly insensitive. Christians are routinely being slaughtered in Islamic states for being Christian, but the article below preaches that “Christians don’t have a monopoly on Jesus.” It is no secret — or should be no secret — that the Muslim Jesus (Isa) […]
