“… instead of responding to the demands of the Tunisians ‘who have sacrificed their lives for freedom, the Constituent Assembly is discussing non-existent problems like identity or the niqab’.” But harping on Islamic morality is an easy way for a government to look piously busy while avoiding more meaningful issues. “Tunisia: revolution betrayed, return of […]

Indonesia: Christian congregation forced to celebrate Christmas at member’s home after threats from Islamic group
Once again, is there still a government in Jakarta? The Yasmin Church of Bogor has a supreme court decision on its side, but the mayor and local thugs have stood in their way with impunity.

Iran ready to move ahead with stoning or hanging of woman convicted of adultery
The case of Sakineh Ashtiani was moved to a back burner after her death sentence drew intense international scrutiny and criticism, not unlike how Youcef Nadarkhani‘s case is dragging on more quietly after similar international condemnation of his death sentence for apostasy from Islam.

Egypt: Salafist cleric reiterates that Jews and Christians are “infidels”
Remember when the Salafists were a Tiny Minority of Extremists?

Somehow Kirolos Andraws ran afoul of Islamophobic Misunderstanders of Islam in Egypt, where they appear to abound. “Egypt’s Embattled Christians Seek Room in America,” by Lucette […]

“Arab Spring” cleaning: The “religious cleansing” of Christianity from the Mideast
Western powers have likely been afraid that defending the rights of Christians in Muslim lands would be interpreted as showing partiality. It would not be partiality, of course, to demand impartiality in the protection of human rights by governments that claim in glowing generalities to have no problem doing just that. Christians have lost heartbeats […]

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.
