After Muslim outrage, Miss Iraq apologizes for selfie with Miss Israel
This anger is not just political, just as the political conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians” isn’t political, either.

Muslim cleric says Muslims are seen as “the world’s headache”
“If Muslims were removed from the face of the Earth, there would be no more headaches in the world – no bombings, no bribery, no plundering, and no kidnapping.” Are these the words of a xenophobic “Islamophobe”? If a non-Muslim had said them, that would be how they would be received. No, these are the […]
Iraq: Sunnis enraged over Mosul school named after Iran’s Khomeini
The biggest beneficiary of the U.S. intervention in Iraq and toppling of Saddam Hussein was the Islamic Republic of Iran.

U.S. sending Christians back to Iraq to face certain death from Islamic jihadis
It is unlikely that Trump knows about this, given his initial determination to ensure that refugees from Muslim persecution be given preferential treatment. Whoever is making this happen is likely trying to punish the Chaldeans for opposing the mosque. This person should be identified and fired, and these deportations halted. Trump may not know about […]

At the end of 2011, my organization and our international partners in Europe called upon the United Nations and the international human rights community to act quickly and decisively to save the Christians of Syria, who are being increasingly threatened and victimized by Islamic supremacists.

Germany: Muslim migrant who “never demonstrated any signs of remorse” gets 11 years for raping two students
According to the regional chief prosecutor, Andreas Bachmann, the offender “has never demonstrated any signs of remorse” and never felt sorry for his victims.

Germany: Muslim arrested over soccer bus attack was Islamic State member in Iraq
If he was a member of the Islamic State in Iraq, why was he let into Germany? What did German officials think would be the result of letting him in? What did they think would turn him from his jihad once he was admitted into the country? Gratitude? “Islamist arrested over soccer bus attack was […]
