Leila Fadel at the Washington Post has now officially chimed in on the fears of the Coptic Christians in Egypt as a direct result of the removal of Hosni Mubarak last year. Interestingly, she affixes a curious label to the ideology of those who threaten the Copts. A year after an attack by ultraconservative Muslims […]

John McCain demands U.S. Arm Al-Qaeda; says doing so is a “repudiation of Al-Qaeda”
Christians are facing persecution all across the Middle East as a direct result of the “Arab Spring” and Senator John McCain is demonstrating no concern for them while simultaneously demanding that the United States arm the Syrian rebels Al-Qaeda, who have incidentally been persecuting Christians themselves. Via the Boston Globe: Republican Senator John McCain of […]
Video: Coptic Christian Priest from Egypt Nails Islam
His name is Zakaria Botros. He is a Coptic Orthodox priest from Egypt and he should be listened to, if for no other reason than the fact that he has a $60 Million fatwa on his head. This video is several years old but we’ve posted it for both its accuracy in hindsight, as well […]
Why the Arab Spring will Descend into an Islamic Age
Steven Simpson Guest Columnist The much vaunted and praised “Arab Spring,” which took the world by surprise in December 2010, is slowly but surely turning into an Arab winter, which will inexorably become an Arab Islamic Ice Age in the near future. Already, the icicles of pan-Islamism are beginning to form throughout the Maghreb (North […]
Tunisians learning what ‘be careful what you wish for’ means
Under the rule of Zine Al Abidine Bin Ali, Tunisians who posted Facebook images of Islam’s prophet would face no legal consequences. Since the ‘Arab Spring’ and Bin Ali’s forced exodus, that’s all changed. Via gulfnews: Two men have been convicted and sentenced to prison in Tunisia for posting on Facebook images of the Prophet […]
Obama Administration too cozy with Islamists? Tunisians seem to think so
It’s a formula leftists simply don’t seem capable of comprehending. It happens every time. After aligning with Islamists to overtake a government or power structure they view as repressive, these leftists are always shocked when the Islamists cast them aside once they’re no longer useful. Just take a look at Iran; leftists aligned with Islamic […]
Morocco Woman forced to Marry her rapist; commits Suicide
In Morocco, a girl whose rape in the west would include the added charge of rape of a minor was actually ordered to marry her rapist. In essence, she was the one punished for the rape; she ultimately committed suicide over it, according to Al Arabiya: A 16-year-old Moroccan girl has committed suicide after a […]
Hillary Clinton in Tunisia; a bit nervous about Arab Spring?
When it comes to the Obama administration, no one has supported the Arab Spring more than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As mentioned in our previous post, Huma Abedin is a woman whose familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are beyond extensive; they should have precluded her from acquiring even a modicum of access to […]
Huma Abedin update: Why is she still Advising Hillary Clinton?
For all intents and purposes, we identified Anthony Weiner’s wife and Hillary Clinton’s closest aid, Huma Abedin as a spy for the Muslim Brotherhood in June of 2011. Surely, she would have been jettisoned from the State Department after we proved that her mother is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and that her familial […]
Ask not what Egypt can do for you; ask what Egypt will Blackmail you to do for them!
Seriously, what more evidence does one need? The Obama administration helped to facilitate the fall of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. It was all about Democracy! Freedom! If that were true, the Muslim Brotherhood, which filled the vacuum, should be thanking America, asking us how we can be re-paid, right? Uh, not so much. One day […]
Thank You, Arab Spring: Muslim Persecution of Christians now Rampant
We are now approximately one year in to the Arab Spring and all the movement really has to show for itself is a rise in the persecution of Christians. There is an excellent piece written by Raymond Ibrahim that appears in the Middle East Forum, in which the regions where apostasy, church burnings, and dhimmitude […]
Video: Egyptian Newscaster goes Berserk over Soccer Deaths
Among those of us who saw this all coming, yes, it does get frustrating. It gets frustrating when we see a western mainstream media retain credibility among the hardworking masses who only tune in occasionally, while assuming unbiased reporters are delivering the news, not shaping it. Perhaps the Kardashians should see their ratings tank; maybe […]
Egyptian Comedian Arrested for telling Islamic Jokes
For those who cheered the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, perhaps it’s time for some context. Under the Mubarak regime, and before that, the Sadat regime, an Egyptian comedian named Adel Imam has spent his career making jokes about his country’s leaders. Now, he has been sentenced to jail time for insulting Islam. Via […]
Muslim Brotherhood leader elected as Parliament Speaker in Egypt
This is not rocket science. How many of us knew this would happen? The mainstream media cheered the ‘Arab Spring’ as it was taking place. It was about democracy! Freedom! Overthrowing a tyrant! Uh, not so much. A senior Muslim Brotherhood leader has been elected as parliament speaker in Egypt. Via Haaretz: A senior member […]
