Algeria: Four Christians convicted for setting up a church without a permit
Sharia traditionally forbids non-Muslims from building new houses of worship or repairing old ones, so that their communities are perpetually in a state of decline.

“Robert Spencer works for the dajjal”
Hey, does the dajjal have a good retirement plan? But wait a minute! I thought it was the Zionists! Oh yeah — Zionists or dajjal, it all amounts to the same thing: Islamic traditions holds of the dajjal, an evil figure who will come to the world at the end times and try to deceive […]

After all, the unbelievers from among the People of the Book are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).
