This could either be genuine supporters of the Islamic State working to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60) even in Johnson City, Tennessee, or non-Muslim hackers thinking it would be cool to present themselves as exponents of what they think is the strong horse. “Church website hacked by group […]

Turns out the reported “snub” to Barack Obama from Saudi Arabia’s newly crowned king, Salman, was a product of Islam: the king — indeed, apparently every Saudi present — interrupted the welcoming protocol for the U.S. president because it was prayer time. You can see the video here, where the king and his entourage meet […]

[FrontPage Mag, via RaymondIbrahim.com] Of all the recent calls for reform made by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, perhaps most adamant has been his insistence that all Egyptians—Muslims and Christians—see themselves first and foremost as Egyptians. This came out very clearly when he visited the St. Mark Coptic Cathedral during Christmas Eve mass. Then, he […]

Here we go again. Any time the mainstream media takes up the question of what causes Islamic jihad terrorism, or whether it has any derivation in Islamic texts and teachings, you can be sure that the “findings” will be that Islam is peaceful and jihad terror is all the West’s fault.
