Iran’s Mullahs losing to Christianity?
Perhaps the most high profile case of apostasy in Iran right now is that of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who is currently on death row in that country for converting from Islam to Christianity.

Syrian Christians fear the fall of Bashar al-Assad

Apparently, Christians in Syria would rather Bashar al-Assad stay in […]
Video: Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff calls anti-Muslim Military course “Objectionable”
It’s important to remember that when men like Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, express a formal position, he is expressing Barack Obama’s position and not necessarily his own.

Members of Movement for abolition of Slavery in Mauritania arrested
It’s times like these when pseudo-human rights groups in the West are exposed for what they truly are – ideologues who have no real interest in human rights.

Shocker: One of Al-Awlaki’s last writings exposes more Mainstream Media Lies
One of the mainstream liberal media memes when it comes to Anwar al-Awlaki, the man who inspired the Fort Hood jihadist, the underwear bomber, and the Times Square bomber was that he didn’t radicalize until after 9/11 because of – wait for it – Islamophobia.
