Yes, nothing could be clearer than that the rioters and looters are deeply committed Christians. In reality, of course, this is wildly absurd, but Kablawi is not interested in facts.

France kills Muslim leader who called for a “gentler, kinder” al-Qaeda to establish Sharia in North Africa
Abdelmalek Droukdel played a critical role in the global jihad. His mission extended beyond al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb; he was a highly influential leader in the global expansion of the Sharia. His mission was in line with that of the Islamic State, which is now a growing and powerful force in the Sahel region […]
Charles De Foucauld, Who Took Islam’s Measure, To Be Canonized (Part 2)
Charles de Foucauld, a Catholic priest who is about to be canonized by the Vatican, spent much of his adult life living alone among Muslims, first among Arabs in Morocco, and then among Tuaregs in Algeria.

Charles De Foucauld, Who Took Islam’s Measure, To Be Canonized (Part 1)
This does not signify a change in Pope Francis’s own views of Islam. It only means that Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916), a French priest who lived among Muslims in Morocco and Algeria , where by his own example he hoped to promote their conversion to Christianity, has been willfully misunderstood by the Vatican, for de […]
Corpus Christi jihadist was inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood, attended al-Qaeda-linked school
This should come as no surprise, as there is an ideological overlap between the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and the most violent jihadist organizations.

Ayatollah Khamenei Outraged at American “Racism” (Part 2)
In attacking America for its “racism,” the Supreme Leader would no doubt like us to remain unaware of the virulent racism to be found in the works of Arab and Muslim Qur’anic scholars, jurists, historians, and theologians. We need not do his bidding, but can take a look at the extensive evidence for Arab and […]
Islamic State celebrates the George Floyd riots: “O Allah, burn them”
Once again we see Islamic State jihadis failing to realize what every non-Muslim politician in the U.S., Canada, and Europe knows: that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam and actually twists and hijacks its peaceful teachings. As with all ISIS communications, the celebrations of the riots are expressed wholly and solely in […]

Pompeo: For Iran’s Grasping Leaders, It’s All About the Benjamins
As the Iranian leadership tries to exploit the riots in America for their own purposes, it is useful to recall an event from several weeks ago, when Secretary of State Pompeo tweeted about Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, commenting on how Rouhani was caught on tape telling Iran’s leadership that the purpose of Iran’s public relations […]
