Two Femen protesters were arrested after baring their breasts at a controversial conference near Paris on the role of Muslim women. According to Inna Shevchenko, a spokeswoman for the feminist protest group, two fundamentalist preachers were discussing the question of “whether wives should be beaten or not” when the activists, aged 25 and 31, ripped off their Arab-style cloaks and jumped on to the stage on Saturday evening. One had the slogan “No one subjugates me” inked across her torso. The other bore the words “I am my own prophet.” The protesters, aged 25 and 31, grabbed microphones and shouted...

These “refugees” are so deprived, sporting leisurely well-dressed tourist attire with cell phones, are throwing packages of Red Cross bottled water and food onto railroad tracks in a Budapest train station because a cross is offensive to their religion. Those who decided to walk to Germany and Sweden, impatient to get there sooner than later, have left tons of garbage on the side of highways. I wonder how polluting their surroundings with trash, which is regular occurrence in third world nations, is going to mesh with the Germans’ strict cleanliness rules, associated fines, and obsessive and punctilious care for the...

Hundreds of thousands of white Europeans were captured by Barbary MUSLIM pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries. Tens of thousands of Black African slaves are still owned today by Arab Muslims. These slave raids were conducted largely by Arab and Berber Muslim rather than Ottoman Turkish Muslims. However, during the height of the Barbary slave trade, the Barbary states were subject to Ottoman Muslim jurisdiction and ruled by Ottoman pashas. Furthermore, many slaves captured by the Barbary corsairs were sold eastward into Ottoman territories before, during, and after...

The clash of cultures and civilisations, in the latter half of the 19th Century, was vividly seen in the conflict between the English Christian General Charles Gordon (or Gordon Pasha as he is remembered) and the Arab Muslim Mahdi (Mohammed Ahmed ibn Abdullah) who established a Caliphate in Sudan. Their contrasting legacies continue to influence Sudan and the world, to this day. Charles Gordon, whose life and death was destined to have such a great impact upon the history of Sudan, was born in England in 1833, the fourth son of a Royal Artillery officer who rose to be a...

--SNIP-- Jim Murray, cofounder of the Ronald McDonald House, and at the time the Eagles' general manager. Murray was so devoted a Catholic that he had named his newborn son John Paul, and brought the infant to Logan Circle where the pope celebrated a Mass. More than a million people were jamming the Ben Franklin Parkway, but as the pope walked in the procession from the Cathedral to the circle right in front of them. A family friend priest held up the child, the pope noticed him and amazingly turned, placed his hand on the child's head, and blessed him...

When the West imports masses of Muslims, we get boatloads (quite literally) of hate. Hate for us. And hate for other Muslims, as well. And so we see unfolding exactly what Daniel Greenfield wrote about in Front Page Magazine when he said: “We aren’t taking in people fleeing the civil war. We’re taking in their civil war and giving it a good home.”

With all the coverage of the embattled Rowan County, Ky. clerk recently released from jail after she refused to process same-sex marriages, it was inevitable that we would be hearing about protests from similar protagonists.There are all sorts of people of faith caught in sticky employment situations where what they’re being asked to do is not precisely what they signed up for when they accepted the job.As GetReligion has reported quite recently, reporters have had problems getting the facts right plus the degree of snark and outright hostility towards people such as Kim Davis has, at times, been so over...

Hello, my name's Lucy, I've been lurking for a while. I've noticed that you're aware of the sinister happening invading my entire Continent of Europe. Sadly most of my people have been hoodwinked by the MSM, which is in full-on propaganda mode. A few like myself can see this for exactly what is is, a massive Trojan Horse....we are been invaded by ISIS and all the other assorted crap, Boko Horom et al, savages who are being invited in by Mad Merkel, Islamic savages who's aim is to kill the millions of European Christians like myself, and none of us...

I'm not saying that we have a theocracy or should have one, nor am I saying that if someone messes up from time to time in their choice of words or choices in life that this means they are automatically not a Christian or aren't seeking to follow the Bible to the best of their ability. Nor should anyone use yet another Straw Man (that I have to knock down before they are lobbed onto this thread) and say that "At least this person isn't Obama." Being anti-PC is often a good thing, for it can remove the endless quibbling,...

Kim Davis, metaphysics, and the public square I don't need to link to them. You can find them everywhere--in the blogosphere, among the pundits, on your Facebook feed. Some friends you are surprised at, too. Even people who said that Obergefell was a disastrously wrong decision, even people who oppose homosexual "marriage" (some of them). Now Kim Davis, Kentucky county clerk, has actually acted on the premise that Obergefell was a lawless, made-up, unconstitutional farce, that marriage literally cannot exist between two men or two women, and these people are shocked, shocked to find a person who stands on...

Says what she did was unforgivable betrayalA Saudi man instantly divorced his wife after catching her dancing in front of the TV at their home in the Gulf Kingdom, telling her what she did was an unforgivable betrayal. The unnamed woman had waited for her husband to go out before she turned on her favourite TV music channel and started to sway in front of the TV set in her room. Her husband warned her against watching such channels, but she went behind his back and ciphered some of them so he would not know she was watching them....

There is a much bigger picture in Kentucky. Forget that Kim Davis is a Democrat. Forget that she is a Christian. Focus on the issue of government (court) coercion of individual conscience. For the first time in our history, the court will now form your conscience for you or you will be removed from government service. The courts have given us a number of societal changes in recent decades from abortion to gays openly serving in the military. In each of these situations, though, what was changed was society's acceptance of a questionable practice. These things were now not illegal......

In his new book “The Last Refuge”, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize for Literature Imre Kertész criticized the attempt to replace European culture with mass immigration: “Europe will soon go under because of its previous liberalism which has proven childish and suicidal. Europe produced Hitler, and after Hitler there stands a continent with no arguments: the doors are wide open for Islam; no longer does anyone dare talk about race and religion, while at the same time Islam only knows the language of hatred against all foreign races and religions”. Kertész continues as follows: “I would talk about how Muslims...

A three-year restoration project at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and one of the country's most well-known churches, is coming to an end just in time for a late September visit from Pope Francis. Most of the scaffolding has already been taken down and officials are steadfast in saying it will be done in time. The project was officially announced on St. Patrick's Day 2012 and got started soon after. It was a huge undertaking — the entire exterior was covered in scaffolding, all the way to the top of the two...

So did anyone go to church today and hear any mention of Kim Davis being jailed for adhering to her Christian beliefs?

A gun business in Apopka is drawing fire from Muslims. Spike's Tactical is marketing an assault rifle it claims was "designed to never be used by Muslim terrorists." The AR-15 assault rifle is laser-etched on one side with a Knights Templar Long Cross – a symbol of the Christian Crusades to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslims – and Psalm 144:1 on the other side: "Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle." The company's spokesman, former Navy SEAL Ben "Mookie" Thomas said he came up with the idea and believes no...
