“More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.” The New York Times just featured an article by Astead W. Herndon, titled, “‘These People Aren’t Coming From Norway’: Refugees […]
FGM and Islam’s Mutilation of… Everything
Rather than an outlier Muslim practice held over from its pagan desert origins, female genital mutilation must be seen in its wider context of Islam’s view of women, and as an especially shocking indicator of the true nature of the “god” of Islam. The recent Federal Department of Justice case in Michigan against a pair […]
Twin Falls pol repents, personally apologizes to family of girl raped by Muslim migrants
A surprising and welcomed update on this story. In our less-than-perfect world, this is the minimum of what American elected officials should do when they have been proven wrong by the facts. Kudos to Twin Falls Idaho City Councilman and former mayor Greg Lanting for having the decency to not double down like the Washington D.C. ruling elite […]
Turkey bans Orthodox Christian Liturgy in historic monastery
The doors of the Sumela Monastery reopened in June 2010, after 88 years. The Turkish government had given permission to the Ecumenical Patriarchate to have a patriarchal liturgy for the Feast of the Assumption every year. That permission has been suddenly revoked, perhaps permanently. That the Greek Orthodox need special permission to celebrate divine services […]
Obama’s Post-Orlando Tirade: Islam is Sacred and Beyond Reproach
By refusing to name the enemy, the President continues to advance a new Edict of Milan, granting preferred status for Muslims and Islam over all other groups and religions, and over America itself. Three years ago, Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States. That same year […]
From Proposal to Policy: Fine-Tuning Trump’s Muslim Immigration Ban
“In light of [the] data, a good argument can be made that the US should allow Muslim immigration—but primarily, and perhaps solely, from Islamic sects and not Sunnis… Let’s adapt Trump’s plan and put a moratorium on Sunni immigration.” This policy discussion by Islamic historian Timothy Furnish may seem to run counter to the position of those of us […]
“Assumption that there is a sharp divide between Good Islam and Bad Islam is a comforting but dangerous illusion”
“The assumption that there is a sharp divide between Good Islam and Bad Islam is a comforting [but] also a dangerous illusion. In the short run, holding such an assumption will make us feel good about our broad-mindedness. In the long run, we will be very sorry for having played this dangerous game of let’s […]
Trump dominates Tuesday primaries; 71% of PA GOP voters support temporary ban on Muslim immigration
Donald Trump sweeps 5 States in ‘Acela Corridor’ primaries. Exit polls show continued strong support for temporary ban on Muslim immigration. This consistent support for a temporary ban on allowing non-citizen Muslims into the United States is one of the driving forces behind Trump’s candidacy. It doesn’t seem to receive a great deal of attention […]
Women and Children First
The code of chivalry from the Edwardian Era has a completely different meaning in today’s Europe. The Munk Debate of April 1 revealed something we feared existed but had never before seen in such naked and shameless display: a misogyny far worse — if one can believe it — than that baked into Islam’s DNA. The Left’s […]
Video: Mark Steyn Blisters Leftists Who Mocked Victims of Muslim Rape Gangs
Mark Steyn delivers withering assault against pro mass immigration liberals who openly mocked the young victims of gang rape by Muslim migrants in Europe. I am ashamed to admit I didn’t grasp the importance of the Munk Debate held last week in Toronto. But now I do, and I feel it is my duty to […]
The Muslim Migrant Invasion and the Collapse of Europe
This story — literally “ripped from the headlines” — writes itself. Way back in September 2015, I began grabbing links on the Muslim Migrant Crisis in Europe, copying and pasting them into a doc to use as resources for my own future articles. Before I knew it, the headlines outstripped my ability to keep up. […]
Can There Have Been Two Annunciations?
The “second annunciation,” to Muhammad, is pivotal in Islam, marking the beginning of his call as prophet. It is also one of the most significant and revealing facts about Islam, one which deserves some exploration. In addition to being Good Friday for Western Christians, last Friday was March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation of […]
Integration is Not the Answer to Muslim Terrorism
“What is often described as ‘radicalization’ is really a choice by ‘integrated’ Muslims to become religious and to act on their beliefs.” “Integration is Not the Answer to Muslim Terrorism”, by Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Magazine, April 1, 2016: There is a famous photo of Anjem Choudary, the head of multiple banned organizations calling for imposing Sharia […]
That “Low-Level Hum”? It May Be Your Conscience.
Suspicion of Islam is not a bad thing. It is a sign of moral, mental and spiritual health. Especially when it comes from among Muslims. In the recent story, “Backlash from Brussels terrorism frustrates Muslims in Maine,” by Matt Byrne, Portland Press Herald, one of the Muslims interviewed, Ahmed Abdiraham, described a “low-level hum of […]
The Same God Question – Part 4: Eschatology and the End of Days
Jesus is coming soon, but which Jesus? (Continued from Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) The “End of Days,” or Eschatology, also referred to as the Apocalypse, reveals much about Islam and Christianity, and the Same God Question. If you want to understand any belief system, look at what it teaches about Origin and […]
William Kilpatrick: Was Muhammad a False Prophet?
A question few dare to ask today, but one that sheds a great deal of light on important contemporary issues. “Was Muhammad a False Prophet?,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine, February 17, 2016: Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves (Mt. 7:15). Would “false prophets” include […]
The Same God Question – Part 3: ‘By their fruits you shall know them…’
(Continued from Part 1 and Part 2) “After the San Bernardino attacks, everybody was saying, ‘If only Americans knew more about Islam, they wouldn’t be so afraid.’ Actually, it’s the reverse.” — Bill Maher ‘I have been commanded to fight…’ The condemnations of Christianity in the Koran (cited in Part 2) have real-world implications, as […]
The Same God Question (Part 2)
Allah’s Theological Jihad against Christianity – A Case of Two Extremes Continued from Part 1, An Epistemological Malady The first problem for a Christian who affirms that Muslims worship the same God, is that such a Christian has to contend with the Koran, which Muslims believe to be the unalterable, eternal words of God, revealed […]
The ‘Same God’ Question (Part 1)
Why the wrong answer is killing the West, including America Introduction: An Epistemological Malady In his 2010 book, Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God? [1], Mark Durie addresses what is at stake when it comes to the “Same God Question”: The traditional Islamic view is that if you want to know what the God of […]
Leading Saudi cleric says Islamic State and Saudi Arabia “follow the same thought”
This is consistent with Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani’s many pronouncements over the years, that Islamic State is a “true product of Salafism,” that Shi’ites are “apostates,” and rejoicing that Saudi Arabia “shelters [him] from hearing church bells ringing.” Yet Obama, Kerry, Clinton and most Western leaders insist that the Islamic State is not Islamic. “Leading Saudi […]
