Pakistan: Madrassa students try to force 8-year-old Christian boy to convert to Islam; uncle who intervened to defend him is attacked for “blasphemy”
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws and the social conditions that they reflect and encourage are a ticking time bomb in the lives of non-Muslims, intended to keep them silent and living in fear.

Attacks on U.S. troops by Afghan “allies” sharply increase
As I have said many times in the context of many similar incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist. This is yet more fruit of the unwillingness to make even a cursory attempt to take that fact into account. “‘Insider’ Afghan attacks blister,” by […]
