Al-Sisi can acknowledge this, but no Western leader can. To do so would be “Islamophobic” and get him or her barraged with outrage from the establishment media and from Leftist and Islamic groups. The unanswered question is whether there are any actual Qur’an verses and hadiths that spread terrorism. Here are some Qur’an verses: “Against […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood vows to tread the path of revolution
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt has vowed to “to continue the path of struggle on the 10th anniversary of the Arab Spring protests,” i.e., to “tread the path of revolution.” This is really nothing new. Although the Muslim Brotherhood has managed to spread its influence into Western nations, pretending that it is peaceful, it […]
Egyptian government approves draft law to criminalize female genital mutilation
It’s about time. The new draft law criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM) with penalties to up to seven years in prison. This is despite a survey in Egypt, conducted last March, that indicated women approved of FGM more than men do, likely because of their dedication to their Islamic faith. The practice, which many insist […]
How to Make Sense of the Reconciliation of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt with Qatar
The blockade and the boycott that Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Bahrain, and Egypt imposed on Qatar more than three years ago has just been lifted.

The Horror: No Justice For Coptic Grandmother Assaulted In Egypt
A Coptic grandmother in the village of Al-Karm, in the Minya governorate, in Upper Egypt, was stripped naked, and her house burned down, by three Muslims, in 2016. It was certainly an atrocity. And the perpetrators are known; they denied nothing; they were proud of what they had done, teaching the odious Copts a lesson. […]
Al-Azhar says Sharia forbids joining Muslim Brotherhood, accuses it of ‘immorality, aggression and terrorism’
Entities all over the Muslim world has been cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood, all while the Brotherhood and its affiliates expand their influence throughout the West. The highly publicized Holy Land foundation trial – the largest terrorism financing trial in the history of the United States — exposed an extensive list of Brotherhood operatives […]
Egypt: Men who dragged 70-year-old woman through village naked over son’s affair with Muslim woman are acquitted
If a gang of Christians had dragged an elderly Muslim woman through a village naked, would an Egyptian court have acquitted them? Of course not. In Egypt, Islam is supreme and so Muslims enjoy rights and privileges that non-Muslims do not enjoy. Meanwhile, British authorities covered up Muslim rape gang activity for decades for fear […]
Muslim Brotherhood operative in Israel says his org is ‘the hard core in confronting the Zionist project’
The Muslim Brotherhood is extraordinary deceptive in its modus operandi as it runs rings around Western leaders, but here it speaks with unusual openness about its agenda regarding Israel. Although there are those who believe that “Trump’s peace deals mean the anti-Israel boycott movement is dead,” as reported by the New York Post, such optimism […]
Can the Egypt-Israel Peace Warm Up?
Until now, Israel has been satisfied with its “cold peace” with Egypt. This is a peace not between peoples, but between the security establishments of both countries, that cooperate in fighting the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is the Palestinian avatar, and other Jihadis in the Sinai, including remnants of ISIS. But with the normalization […]
Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar: Nothing should be more important than waging jihad in Allah’s way
“Reactions in the Muslim world to the recent publication of the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo were very harsh.” This was clearly evident, but it should serve as an exhibit of what normative Islam teaches regarding the penalty for blasphemy. Those who proclaim that Islam is inherently a “religion […]
