President Trump, whose Middle East plan is winning support from Arab nations, is gaining strong support from Muslim leaders and their followers who believe that the Democrats haven't delivered on years of promises, according to a new survey of Islamic leaders. In a shocking turnaround, 61.48% of the 109 Muslim leaders who “represent two million voters” plan to vote for Trump. That is a slight edge over their 2012 vote for Barack Obama. The survey of the leaders was done by the Washington correspondent for Aksam Gazetesi, a Turkish news site. It suggested that the Muslim leaders' support for former...

The center of the country has been caught in a whirlwind of violence since the emergence in this region in 2015 of a jihadist group led by the Fulani preacher Amadou Koufa, who recruited widely from his community. Twelve civilians, including two women and a child, and at least as many Malian soldiers, were killed in a double attack Tuesday, October 13 in central Mali, the deadliest in the country since the putsch of August 18. This new attack comes a few days after the release of four hostages - an opposition leader, Soumaïla Cissé, the French Sophie Pétronin and...

The sparse attendance and conspicuous lack of enthusiasm at Joe Biden’s rallies seems to have led old Joe’s handlers, despite his 10,000-point lead in the polls, to decide that another round of Islamopandering might be just the shot in the arm their campaign needs. After all, hard-Leftists such as Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Linda Sarsour are all Muslims, and all were firmly in the Bernie Sanders camp before the Democratic National Committee shivved their man yet again. Their support for Biden has been decidedly tepid. And so it was time to send them some love. On Wednesday, Biden released...

A French teacher who had recently shown students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed was beheaded outside his school on Friday, in what President Emmanuel Macron called an "Islamist terrorist attack". The assailant, whose identity has not been established, was shot by police as they tried to arrest him and later died of his injuries, police said. The attacker shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") as police confronted him, a cry often heard in jihadist attacks, a police source said.

So a friend sent this video today after he inspected a rental house following the termination of a rental agreement for non payment. These were items left behind. Back story is I painted the exterior over the summer. The tenants were Muslims. Very weird acting people when I interacted with them. You know, that gut feeling you have for some people.

The French president Emmanuel Macron has announced a curfew during which everyone must be at home between 9pm and 6am for the Paris region, as well as the cities of Rouen, Lille, St Etienne, Lyon, Grenoble, Montpellier, Marseille and Toulouse. The curfew will begin on Saturday and will last for four weeks, he said.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota said on Monday that Republicans would "lose their mind" if a Muslim woman were appointed to fill a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. "Let's be clear about this: if a Muslim woman was nominated to SCOTUS you would see Republicans lose their mind about her religious background," Omar wrote on Twitter. "'Sharia law' would be trending right now. Miss me with the pearl-clutching and all this righteous talk about religious freedom."

The Christian parents of a 6-year-old girl in Pakistan who was beaten and raped by a Muslim have been threatend by local imams with the rape of their other daughters and with financial ruin if they proceed with a legal case, according to the advocacy group British Pakistani Christians, It's one of many such cases cited in a report highlighted by Raymond Ibrahim, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Middle East Forum. He points out that studies from as recently as 2019 show "around 1,000 girls from (Christian and other) religious minorities...

One of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s most well-known character traits is his colorful way of speaking; sometimes he’s telling stories about being a teenager at a swimming pool, sometimes he’s reminiscing about how his dad used to drive cars, sometimes he’s putting his foot in his mouth, and sometimes he’s resurrecting decades-old words like “malarkey” and plastering them across buses. During Tuesday night’s debates, he added a new phrase to his ever-shifting lexicon – “Inshallah.” Mr. Biden deployed the phrase in a testy exchange with Donald Trump regarding his still-unreleased tax returns. “Millions of dollars, and you’ll get to...

The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard the Trump administration’s appeal in a case involving three U.S. residents who FBI agents wrongly placed on the federal government’s “no fly list” as punishment for their refusal to spy on fellow Muslims. The men seek to hold the agents personally responsible for what they allege was a pattern of harassment designed to coerce them into becoming government informants in violation of their religious beliefs. The legal question at hand is whether a federal law that protects the free exercise of religion allows government agents to be sued for monetary damages. The lawsuit arose...

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said she resented anyone claiming President Donald Trump was not a racist on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Live.” In a video clip from lastnight’s Minnesota rally, Trump said, “What is going on with Omar? I have been reading the reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Then she tells us how to run our country. Can you believe it? How the hell did Minnesota elect her?”

Today in history, on September 25, 1396, a major military encounter with Islam that demonstrated just how disunited Christendom had become took place. In 1394, the Ottoman Turks "were doing great injury to Hungary," causing its young king, Sigismund, to appeal "to Christendom for assistance." That appeal came at an opportune time. The hitherto quarreling English and French had made peace in 1389, and a "crusade against the Turks furnished a desirable outlet for the noble instincts of the Western chivalry." Matters were further settled once "men of all kinds" — pilgrims, laymen, and clerics returning from the Holy Land...

CNA Staff, Sep 23, 2020 / 12:00 am MT (CNA).- After fire toppled the iconic spire and destroyed the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France in April 2009, heated debates ensued about whether the reconstruction should use the church’s original design, or use a more modern design and technique. Some proposed futuristic ideas included a rooftop swimming pool and a greenhouse atop the 850-year-old cathedral. Last year, the French Senate passed a bill mandating that Notre-Dame be rebuilt as it was before the fire, with lumber and medieval carpentry techniques, which were highlighted in a public demonstration...
