Iran Imprisons Christians, Then Showcases Book on U.S. ‘Islamophobia’ My latest in PJ Media: “War is deceit,” according to a statement attributed to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran were taking notes.

But could it have anything to do with the introduction into Miami of a large […] Read more 2020-07-19  •  Robert Spencer Malaysia: Man gets two years in prison for insulting Islam and Muhammad on Facebook Facebook will likely ban him, too. They don’t like the freedom of speech over there. This is yet another glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic.

The Muslims demanded we remove the cross and all three floors of […] Read more 2020-07-19  •  Christine Douglass-Williams BBC urges mass migration, says First World countries should not try to increase fertility of native populations The BBC urging mass migration as a solution to declining birth rates is nothing new. Globalists have been pushing this argument for years. The Labour Party hopes to scrap most immigration laws and inundate the UK with Muslim migrants, while Conservatives under Theresa May echoed the same policies. But in December 2018, the sentiments of […] Read more 2020-07-19  •  Christine Douglass-Williams A Rebuttal of Dr. Craig Considine’s Claim That Muhammad Was the First Anti-Racist  Over the past three or four years, few Christian speakers have caused more confusion on the topic of Islam as the Catholic sociology professor Dr. Craig Considine.

UK authorities have now allowed 150 Islamic State (ISIS) jihadis to return to the country, following the court ruling in Shamima Begum’s case. They have been responsible for beheadings, the enslavement and rape of Yazidi women and girls, the burning of captives alive, […] Read more 2020-07-19  •  Faisal Malik Sudan: Muslims protest against abolition of death penalty for leaving Islam, call for jihad against government The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. Accordingly, some Muslims will never accept its being set aside: Allah’s laws override all man-made laws. The death penalty for leaving Islam is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from […] Read more 2020-07-19  •  Robert Spencer
