Federal appeals court overturns death sentence of Boston Marathon jihad murderer This is more about the state of American society today than it is about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

It is sure to infuriate and humiliate Turkey, which has been bursting with pride over its new “conquest” of Hagia Sophia, which was first built in 537 as a Christian cathedral. The reconversion of this Christian jewel into a mosque grieved […] Read more 2020-07-31  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Pakistan: Muslim who murdered Ahmadi accused of blasphemy hailed as ‘hero,’ ‘Lion of Islam’ Where is the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims condemning this murder and insisting that such killing is completely un-Islamic?
