How U.S. Foreign Policy Made 2015 “Worst Year in Modern History for Christian Persecution”
Gatestone Institute 2015 was the “worst year in modern history for Christian persecution,” according to Open Doors, a human rights organization that has been documenting the persecution of Christians since 1955.

“Islam Hates Us” More Than You Know
Donald Trump’s latest politically incorrect comment concerning Islam is much truer than most know.

Why the Islamic State’s Ancient Jihadi Tactics “Shock” the West
As Western politicians and other talking heads insist that the Islamic State (“ISIS”) has “nothing whatsoever to do with Islam,” not only does ISIS correctly implement Islamic law—whether by demanding jizya from subjugated Christians or by sexually enslaving “infidel” women—but even the “caliphate’s” arcane jihadi tactics belong to Islam.

Egyptian government closes 50 Christian churches for being “security threats”
On February 1, Tharwat Bukhit, a Coptic Christian member of Egypt’s parliament, said that “there are approximately 50 churches in Egypt that are closed for reasons of security.” In 2011—when the “Arab Spring” began—the nation’s Christians had compiled a list of 43 churches that were shut down by local authorities over the years.
