A lie conceals the truth. And ugly but hidden truths never have a chance of being acknowledged, addressed, and ameliorated. Because of this simple truism, one of the greatest lies of our age — that violence committed in the name of Islam has nothing to do with Islam — has made an intrinsically weak Islam […]
‘The Real Bomb Is in Islam’s Books’
During his visit to Egypt last week, “Pope Francis visited al-Azhar University, a globally respected institution for Sunni Islamic learning,” and “met with Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the imam of the government-run Al-Azhar mosque and an Islamic philosophy professor.” This has been reported by several media outlets, often with much fanfare. Unfortunately, however, Sheikh Tayeb, once […]
Why Easter Brings Out the Worst in Islam
Why are some Christians murdered and many more terrorized in the name of Islam every Easter holiday? This year’s most notable attack occurred in Egypt, where two Coptic Christian churches were bombed during Palm Sunday mass, leaving 50 dead and 120 injured. While this incident received some coverage in Western media, attacks on churches in […]
Graphic: Images and video of Palm Sunday’s Coptic church bombings
The number of dead from the Palm Sunday bombings of two Coptic churches in Egypt has climbed to 50: thirty Christians were killed at the St. George Church in Tanta, and 15 Christians and five police officials were killed in St. Mark in Alexandria.

Egypt: Muslim man sexually harasses, cuts throat of Christian woman on busy street
In yet another cold-blooded attempt on the life of a Christian, a Muslim man recently attempted to slaughter a Coptic Christian woman in broad daylight and in the middle of a busy street in Egypt. Reports of this latest instance of anti-Christian sentiment in Egypt began appearing Tuesday, and have since been confirmed by local […]
A 1,389 Year-Old ‘Phobia’?
A direct correlation exists between Western ignorance of history and Western ignorance of Islam’s “troublesome” doctrines. It is this connection that allows Islam’s apologists to get away with so many distortions and outright lies meant to shield Islam. Take Reza Aslan, CNN’s resident “cannibal”: he recently claimed that “Islamophobia” — defined by CAIR and others […]
Islamic Projection: Why Muslims So Hate Infidels
A little known fact: when Muslims persecute religious minorities in their midst, they often justify it by projecting the worst aspects of Islam onto the “infidels.” A well-known phenomenon, “projection” is defined as “the attribution of one’s own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people.” One academic article states, “Projection allows the killer to project his […]
More Evidence that McMaster Shares Obama’s Views on Islam and Terror
Donald Trump’s new national security advisor, Lt. General H.R. McMaster, has made troubling remarks — such as “the Islamic State is not Islamic” — that one expects from the D.C. establishment. However, a hearty endorsement that he gave to a 2010 book suggests that the totality of McMaster’s views on security issues are worse than simply […]
Christianity and Judaism Breed Terrorism Just Like Islam?
Egypt’s top Muslim cleric and head of Al Azhar, Dr. Ahmed al-Tayeb, recently spoke before the religious representatives of some 50 nations during a Cairo-based conference. The sheikh demonstrated once again that he is a master of exhibiting one face to fellow Muslims — one that supports the death penalty for “apostates,” calls for the […]
Egypt: All art is “immoral,” says top cleric, known as a “moderate” around the world
Art has a largely negative impact on human morality. So says Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Egypt’s Al Azhar madrassa and arguably the “most influetial Muslim in the world.” In a recent televised interview, Tayeb was asked “To what degree does art influence the morals of the youth.” The sheikh responded that art […]
