Egypt: Christian imprisoned for “blasphemy” for offering Bible to Muslim
“Rafaat said there is no such criminal charge as ‘evangelism’ under Egyptian law, and that handing out Bibles or even promoting Christianity does not constitute ‘defaming a revealed religion.’” But even though Sharia is not the law of the land in Egypt, its cultural influence remains, leading to incidents such as the persecution of Medhat […]

Federal judge orders jihadi out of jail and into rehab program
“The U.S. has been trying for years to ‘counter violent extremism’ by fighting the message of terrorists instead of just the terrorists themselves.” The U.S. has been trying to counter the message of the terrorists, mind you, while ignoring the content of that message and/or pretending that it is other than what it is.
