Muslim Brotherhood Subversion vs. Jihadist Rage
FrontPage Magazine What do Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri—that is, the late leader of ISIS, and the late and current leaders of al-Qaeda—have in common? That they’re among the world’s most notorious Islamic terrorists? Yes, but there’s something else, something more subtle, that binds them: they all began their careers as […]

Video: Middle East Forum/NY Divinity School Host Raymond Ibrahim
This summer I spoke at the NY Divinity School, in an event arranged by the Middle East Forum. I discussed the much needed historical context of the Muslim world’s rage against the Western world. The nearly hour-long talk, followed by a Q&A moderated by Daniel Pipes, follows:
Turkey: Arming Genocide of Christians in Nigeria?
Gatestone Institute Concerning Turkey’s increasingly suspect role in supporting jihadis — most recently, ISIS’s slain leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was found hiding in Syria’s “last refuge” for jihadi rebels, just three miles from Turkey’s border — one of the least mentioned is Turkey’s apparent alliance with the “other” ISIS, that in Nigeria, Boko Haram.

Ilhan Omar’s Anti-American, Pro-Islamic Polemic on the Armenian Genocide
Earlier this week the House voted overwhelmingly (405-11) in favor of formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide, which was perpetrated by Ottoman Turks. Among those miniscule few to vote “present,” thereby abstaining from voting, was Minnesotan Democrat, Ilhan Omar. Her logic was expressed in a tweet: A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include […]
A Dead Caliph vs the Eternal Jihad
FrontPage Magazine Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (above), the head or “caliph” of the Islamic State, is finally dead.

But while we can all celebrate this monster getting his just deserts, […]

The Saudi Stink of Hypocrisy
FrontPage Magazine Saudi Arabia continues to demonstrate why it is the “world’s greatest hypocrite.” After Australia recently condemned the Islamic kingdom of human rights abuses, the latter launched an “extraordinary” tirade. Saudi ambassador, Abdulaziz Alwasil, projected everything his nation does onto Australia. He claimed that minorities, migrants and Muslims face “horrific violations of human rights” […]
Islam’s Erasure of the Mideast’s Judaic and Christian Heritage
FrontPage Magazine The Muslim world is at war with history. It needs to be, if it hopes to change the narrative concerning how it came into being and, more importantly, how no one but Muslims has any right to any land claimed by Islam.
