Kidnapped nuns stripped of crosses - Video

A new video of the twelve Christian nuns kidnapped in Syria recently appeared.

New York Times� biased coverage on Muslim persecution

Raymond Ibrahim The New York Times has finally found a victim of Islamic aggression in Nigeria worth reporting on: homosexuals. In a big spread complete with pictures appearing last week, the NYT’s Adam Nossiter wrote “Wielding Whip and a Hard New Law, Nigeria Tries to ‘Sanitize’ Itself of Gays.” While it’s all well and good […] Continue reading →

Why Arab dictators are wiser than western politicians

Raymond Ibrahim, After my recent articles documenting how the U.S. is the chief facilitator of Christian persecution in the Muslim world, I received an email from John Eibner, CEO of Christian Solidarity International, in which he made the following observation: The sad fact is that the ruthless Assad dictatorship has a better record than the […] Continue reading →

Al-Qaeda: Defender of Christians?

By: Raymond Ibrahim Muslim persecution of Christians is the “Achilles Heel” of the global Islamic movement’s image—the surest way of exposing its supremacist and intolerant elements and one of the main reasons the major media and establishment rarely report or address it. The logic (fully explained here) can be summarized as follows: Islamic and jihadi […] Continue reading →

Radical Islam: The hound of Jihad

By: Raymond Ibrahim, The relentlessnes of Islamic jihadi enmity for non-Muslims appears to know no bounds—sometimes even pursuing “infidels” beyond the grave. While the West may hear of the more spectacular attacks on non-Muslims—bombed and burned churches and other places of worship, beheaded and slaughtered “infidels,” and wholesale massacres—lesser known is the fact that, far […] Continue reading →

Three American teachers slaughtered for Christian faith in Muslim world

Radical Islam By: Raymond Ibrahim, Why was Ronald Thomas Smith II, an American teaching at Benghazi’s International School, shot to death last Thursday in Libya, even as he “was looking forward to his first Christmas in the United States with his wife and toddler son”?

In History: Western Civilization Saved from Islam at Battle of Tours

Raymond Ibrahim Precisely 100 years after the death of Islam’s prophet Muhammad in 632, his Arab followers, after having conquered thousands of miles of lands from Arabia to Spain, found themselves in Gaul (modern-day France), facing a hitherto little-known people, the Christian Franks.

Surreal and Suicidal: Modern Western Histories of Islam

By Raymond Ibrahim Rereading some early history books concerning the centuries-long jihad on Europe, it recently occurred to me how ignorant the modern West is of its own past. The historical narrative being disseminated today bears very little resemblance to reality. Consider some facts for a moment: A mere decade after the birth of Islam […] Continue reading →

Mideast Nuclear Holocaust - The Last Israelis

By Raymond Ibrahim After constant exposure to critically important news, it begins to lose all meaning and sense of urgency. Hearing the same warnings over and over again — especially when the status quo seems static — can cause a certain desensitization, a resigned apathy that ignores the warnings in the wishful hope that they […] Continue reading →

Christians: On the Front Lines of Muslim Violence

Noah Beck As Egypt’s Islamists blame Christians for the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, anti-Christian violence has reached epidemic levels, with an estimated 82 churches across Egypt attacked and heavily damaged by Morsi supporters in a mere 48 hours. Unfortunately, the persecution of Christians is nothing new in Egypt or other Muslim-majority countries. But thanks to the […] Continue reading →

The real War on Women is being waged in the Islamic world

By: Raymond Ibrahim One of the few positive developments following the rise of the Islamists during the “Arab Spring” is that today many average and/or nominal Muslims are seeing the true face of Islam and its teachings. And many—as evinced by the June 30 Revolution of Egypt, which saw the ousting of the Muslim Brotherhood—don’t […] Continue reading →

Jihad on Egypt�s Christian Children

By: Raymond Ibrahim Attacks on Christian children, both boys and girls, are on the rise in Egypt. Last week, a six-year-old Coptic Christian boy named Cyril Yusuf Sa‘ad was abducted and held for ransom.
