By Robert Spencer on Jul 15, 2018 07:07 pm

“We are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately.” Common sense. But the UN will again rain down condemnations upon Israel.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 15, 2018 08:59 am

Muslims told the Christian pastor to stop construction of his church, because they had discovered he was a convert from Islam. Worse could be coming.

However, Germany has seen a large influx of Muslim migrants in recent years, many of whom believe that it is an […]
