Speaking at the Council of Foreign Relations on March 13, CIA Director John Brennan said that “the Islamic State had ‘snowballed’ beyond Iraq and Syria, estimating that at least 20,000 fighters from more than 90 countries have gone to join the militant group, several thousand of them from Western nations, including the United States.” “Left […]
Islamic State relied on Egyptian-Salafi book to behead 21 Copts in Libya
Dr. Ahmed Karima, professor of Sharia at Al Azhar University, Egypt, recently exposed the fact that the Islamic State received its justification to slaughter 21 Coptic Christians in Libya from a book titled (in translation) Christians in the Koran. The author of said book is Mahmoud Lutfi ‘Amr—president of Damanhur’s Ansar al-Sunna al-Muhammadiya, that is, […]
CIA Chief John Brennan’s Deceptions About Islam
By constantly projecting Western standards on Islamic jihadis, CIA head John Brennan has come to epitomize the U.S. intelligence community’s intellectual failures concerning the true sources of the jihad. Last Friday, March 13, Brennan insisted that Islamic State (IS) members are not Islamic. Instead, “They are terrorists, they’re criminals. Most—many—of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who […]
Egypt: Another Christian man murdered in cold blood “only because he was a Copt”
In the early morning hours of Saturday, January 31, masked gunmen stormed the home of Nabil Mahrus, a 50-year-old Coptic Christian civil servant residing in al-Arish, the largest Sinai city. In front of his family, they went up to the Coptic man and shot him several times in the head, killing him—but only after they […]
Living and Dying by the Sword of Jihad
[PJ Media via RaymondIbrahim.com] In a move reminiscent of “ancient history,” Saudi Arabia is building a 600-mile-long “Great Wall”—a combined fence and ditch—to separate itself from the Islamic State to the north in Iraq: Plans for the 600-mile wall and ditch Saudi Arabia will build with Iraq in an effort to insulate itself from the chaos engulfing […]
Islamic State cites “grievances” in slaughter of 21 Copts
Islamic jihadis never fail to find an excuse to slaughter innocent Christians. For example, as discussed here, secular Western actions that have nothing to do with Christianity are often enough to provoke Muslims to blame, locate, and attack Christian minorities in their midst as way of “retribution.” Now, as shown in a new video, the Islamic […]
The True History of Christendom and Islam
[Frontpage Magazine via RaymondIbrahim.com] U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent condemnation of medieval Christian history to exonerate modern Islam is a reminder of how woefully ignorant (or intentionally deceptive) a good many people in the West are concerning the true history of Christian Europe and Islam. The problem is that those who condemn things like […]
Islamic State: “Great reward” for killing Coptic Christians
The following excerpt from the Islamic State captures well the perverse logic that its many members and even more sympathizers operate under. It recently appeared in an Islamic State report explaining why the jihadis executed 21 Coptic Christian workers abducted in (post- “Arab Spring”) Libya. The justification begins by positioning the 2010 Islamic raid on the Our Lady […]
Christians under Islam Suffer for Western ‘Sins’
[VIE via RaymondIbrahim.com] Not only are many Western secularists totally indifferent to the plight of Christians and other religious minorities under Islam—they inadvertently exacerbate it, thanks to the Muslim penchant to conflate Western behavior with Christianity. Thus Charlie Hebdo’s satirical caricatures of Muhammad are now being pinned on the Christian faith by Muslims who seem […]
Christians burned alive: The story of Sidhom Bishay
[Via RaymondIbrahim.com] As the world reacts with shock and horror at the recent immolation of a Jordanian pilot at the hands of the Islamic State, it is well to remember that this particular form of savagery has a long history in Islam and under the state. The image to right is of Sidhom Bishay, a Coptic […]
