Merry Christmas to all Christian Jihad Watchers

The Byzantine icon above is the work of the 16th-century iconographer Theophanes the Cretan. Many Muslims around the world today would consider it offensive and insulting to Islam.

By

This attack follows a smaller one on the WFP in October. The jihadists may be seeking to accomplish two main goals.

It is bad for business to have […]

Indonesian bishop: Muslim radicals are “colonizing” the country

By

No word from the Mideast on whether this might also be a Zionist plot, all the way over in Indonesia. Indeed, one again finds Islam’s vaunted “tolerance” being “misunderstood” with striking uniformity in places far removed from one another, by local Islamic groups. So, how did that happen? Did these guys call each other? “Muslim […]

Here’s more money for the jihad: U.S. pays Pakistan $633 million to fight jihad

By

Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror.
