Ironically, most people, including most Armenians, are unaware that the first genocide of Christian Armenians at the hands of Muslim Turks did not occur in the twentieth century; it began in 1019—exactly one-thousand years ago this year—when Turks first began to pour into and transform a then much larger Armenia into what it is today, the eastern portion of modern day Turkey. Thus, in 1019, “the first appearance of the bloodthirsty beasts … the savage nation of infidels called Turks entered Armenia … and mercilessly slaughtered the Christian faithful with the sword,” writes Matthew of Edessa (d.1144), a chief source...

The “Nordic Paradise” that was Sweden until a few decades ago, has become a virtual nightmare with the influx of thousands of migrants from the Middle East, most of them unwilling to assimilate. The homogeneous society that was once Sweden, with low crime, and strong work ethics, has turned into a multicultural society, replete with crime, social instability, and declining productivity. For the many believers in the workability of social democracy, Sweden was a model of success and admiration. While personal taxes were high, the state provided its citizens with a lavish social welfare system and cradle-to-grave social services....

Nigeria: Kidnapped aid worker says Muslims killed Christian girl for refusing to renounce Christ JUL 30, 2019 3:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER Leah Sharibu may be still alive, and we hope she is, but there is no doubt that the Nigerian government has done nothing about her plight or that of the persecuted Christians of that country. “Aid Worker: Boko Haram Killed Schoolgirl for Refusing to Renounce Christ,” by Edwin Mora, Breitbart, July 25, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Jihadis from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked Boko Haram killed a 16-year-old Christian schoolgirl in captivity for refusing to renounce...

"God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."As a man in a yellow vest separated the two, the Muslim woman continued, "Shame on...

Pakistan: Muslim kidnaps 14-year-old Christian girl, forces her to convert to Islam and marry him JUL 27, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER And as for the forced conversions, the Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even...

Another Jew-hater at CNN: Muslim host of digital tech show tweeted “I love you Hitler” JUL 27, 2019 1:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER Yesterday it was Mohammed Elshamy; today it is Kareem Farid.

Rep. Ilhan Omar penned an op-ed in the New York Times denouncing President Trump as a racist, lacing the column with easily disproven lies, and saying she’s experienced prejudice in America since day one “as a visibly Muslim woman.” Ms. Omar, any disdain you’ve had directed toward you is less likely due to being ‘visibly Muslim,’ and more likely because you’re audibly ignorant and provably anti-American.

A 14-year-old girl in a black veil walked onto the road, raised her hands and made a plea to the soldiers nearby. She had been strapped to a suicide bomb and didn’t want to die. It was explosives specialist Randy Iljeseni’s turn to defuse the girl, one in an army of child bombers deployed across northeast Nigeria by jihadist group Boko Haram. He grabbed a pair of fabric scissors, mouthed a brief prayer and slowed his breathing. He began to slice into her bomb-strapped belt. Some of his closest friends had died this way. ...In a gruesome turn, they are...

A young cow got loose from a Halal market and as the cow was being chased, they caught it in the back lot of a Home Depot store.

Conservatives are told that President Donald Trump is a racist on a daily basis by the MSM. So, leftists can pardon our confusion when we read on the State Department's page that Trump's administration honored a Muslim Imam from Nigeria. It seems completely contradictory for an Islamophobic racist to honor a Muslim from an African nation. In fact, the list of this year's honorees for the International Religious Freedom is quite diverse: Muslims, people of color, and women. I encourage you to click on the link above and read about all the deserving honorees, but I want to focus...
