Uganda: Christian pastor petitions Parliament to remove Islamic Sharia laws from Constitution
Because they establish Muslims as a special, privileged class in society. Meanwhile, in Nashville, Muslims are claiming victim status over a proposed anti-Sharia law. The supporters of this law should bring in Pastor Umaru Mulinde to testify about what Sharia actually does to a society. “Uganda People News: Pastor petitions parliament over Sharia laws,” from […]
Iraqi archbishop: No genuine democracy in Muslim lands without equal rights for Christians
Many in the West will assume equal rights for Christians will happen more or less automatically, or are not truly an issue under Sharia law, which apologists portray as a complex system that shape-shifts like the goop in a lava lamp the moment some skeptical non-Muslim observes something unpleasant about human rights. Outside of the […]

Not just “extremists.” “Mosques Flourish in America; Churches Perish in Muslim World,” by our old pal Raymond Ibrahim in Pajamas Media (via RaymondIbrahim.com), March 3: As Muslims prepare to erect a mega-mosque near the site of the 9/11 atrocities, it is well to reflect that the sort of tolerance, or indifference, that allows them to […]

Merry Christmas to all Christian Jihad Watchers
For all those Christians who observe Christmas today, I am reposting my post from December 25: The Byzantine icon above is the work of the 16th-century iconographer Theophanes the Cretan. Many Muslims around the world today would consider it offensive and insulting to Islam. Muslims in the Balkans just a few years ago have entered […]
Italian Foreign Minister: EU aid to Muslim countries should be tied to treatment of Christians
At last, someone is talking sense. However, it is extraordinarily unlikely that such a measure will ever be adopted. “‘Tie EU aid to rights for Christians’ says Frattini,” from ANSA, January 3 (thanks to Insubria): Rome, January 3 – European Union aid should be tied to respect for human rights in countries where Christian minorities […]
Coptic Christians in Germany fear Islamic jihad attacks

When are people going to get a clue that they are waiting for something that is never going to happen? “German Coptics fear Islamist attacks,” from The Local, […]
Spencer: Denying the jihad against Christians
In the featured article at FrontPage this morning, I discuss the general refusal to face up to what really happened in Alexandria, Egypt on New Year’s Eve: An Islamic jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murdered twenty-two people and wounded eighty more at the Coptic Christian Church of the Saints in Alexandria, Egypt on New Year’s Eve.
