Egyptian sentiment for ending Peace Treaty with Israel growing?
In left wing parlance, the term ‘Hudna’ is nothing more than a ‘peace treaty’ that gives both sides the opportunity to reach a mutually beneficial understanding. ‘Peace treaty,’ like ‘Arab Spring’ sounds so tranquil and welcoming, doesn’t it?

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.
