PJ Media As explained in this recent article, all around Western Europe, churches are under attack. Along with arson attempts, typically—and rather with diabolical intent—altars are desecrated, crucifixes broken, statues mocked and/or beheaded. Sometimes fecal matter is smeared on the churches. Last February in France, for instance, vandals plundered and used human excrement to draw a cross on […]
Evil Medieval Christians or Islam’s Victims Retaliating?
American Thinker Citing history—or, as shall be seen, pseudohistory—is one of the main ways Islam’s apologists try to ennoble Muhammad’s creed and its adherents. As a sort of counterbalance to purportedly noble Muslims, medieval Christians are regularly presented as the epitome of hypocrisy, intolerance, and greed. Commonly leading the pack are Vlad the Impaler, Ivan […]
Video: “Desecration of European Churches”
I was recently interviewed on Sky Watch TV’s “Five in Ten with Derek Gilbert.” The show description and video follow: While there is no evidence yet that the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral was deliberately set, Raymond Ibrahim, author of Sword and Scimitar, reports that Christian churches in France are being vandalized at the rate […]
European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”
Gatestone Institute Translations of this item: Czech DanishDutchFrench GermanHebrewItalianPortuguese Greek Russian Spanish Swedish Countless churches throughout Western Europe are being vandalized, defecated on, and torched. In France, two churches are violated every day. According to PI-News, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018. This represents a 17 […]
Just War vs Just Plain-Old Jihad
Wherever one looks, the historic crusades against Islam are demonized and distorted in ways designed to exonerate jihadi terror. “Unless we get on our high horse,” Barak Obama once chided Americans who were overly critical of Islamic terror, “and think this [beheadings, sex-slavery, crucifixion, roasting humans] is unique to some other place, remember that during […]
On Walls and Muslims: A Lesson for Pope Francis
PJM “I appeal not to create walls but to build bridges” has long been Pope Francis’s mantra. Most recently, when asked last Sunday “a question about migration in general and about U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to shut down the southern border with Mexico,” the pope pontificated in platitudes: “Builders of walls,” he said, “be they made of razor wire […]
UK: Radical Muslims Welcomed, Persecuted Christians Denied
Gatestone Institute In two unrelated cases, the United Kingdom denied asylum to persecuted Christians by bizarrely citing the Bible and Jesus. Both Christians, a man and a woman, are former Muslims who were separately seeking asylum from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the ninth worst persecutor of Christians, particularly those who were formerly Muslims, as […]
America’s 233-Year-Old Shock at Jihad
American Thinker Exactly 233 years ago today, on March 28, 1786, two of America’s founding fathers documented their first exposure to Islamic jihad in a letter to Congress; like many Americans today, they too were shocked at what they learned. Context: in 1785, Muslim pirates from North Africa, or “Barbary,” had captured two American ships, […]
Ribat: The Original Muslim Enclaves and ‘No-Go’ Zones
PJ Media “The operation to take Islamic State’s last enclave in eastern Syria looked close to an end,” Reuters recently reported, “as U.S.-backed fighters said they were combing the area for hidden jihadists…. Its enclave at Baghouz was the last part of the massive territory it suddenly seized in 2014, straddling swathes of Iraq and […]
Video: “Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West”
Earlier this week I appeared via Skype on Colliding Worldviews, a program on ABN’s Trinity Channel, hosted by Tony Gurule. Titled, “Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West” (which is also the subtitle of my book, Sword and Scimitar), the 30-minute interview follows, and includes many important topics: Fourteen Centuries of War Between […]
