Why Egypt’s Muslims Resent Coptic Christians
October 11, 2016 – Raymond Ibrahim
At a time when Coptic Christians are suffering abuses “every two or three days” in Egypt, a Muslim woman in America has made a video calling for more Muslim hostility against the Christian minority, in this case, in the guise of an economic boycott.
In a video, Ayat Oraby—a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who has nearly 1.5 million followers on Facebook—recently called the Coptic church a “bunch of gangsters,” a “total mafia” that “rules [Egypt] behind the curtains.”
She accuses the Christians of “stockpiling weapons in churches” and “striving to create a Coptic statelet” in order to continue waging “a war against Islam.”

US cardinal: “It is clear that Muslims have as their ultimate goal conquest and power over the world”
October 8, 2016 – by Robert Spencer
Cardinal Burke’s line runs directly counter to the rainbows-and-moonbeams Islam of Pope Francis.
He is, apparently, too prominent for Catholic authorities to try to silence, unlike other foes of jihad terror whom the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and individual bishops have worked so assiduously against.
Cardinal Burke must get a chilly reception from his peers when they all get together.
Speaking in an interview with Italian newspaper Il Giornale, Cardinal Raymond Burke accused Westerners of being too weak to acknowledge the incompatibility of Christianity and Islam.

Top Muslim Wall Street Journal reporter converts to Christianity after jihadist attack on priest
July 30, 2016 – by Christine Williams
This post is not to promote conversions, but to highlight the fact that a prominent Muslim reporter for the Wall Street Journal was so repulsed by an act of jihad-by-the-sword that it became the final straw for him. He decided to leave Islam, now putting himself in the ranks of apostates — and he is an exceptionally brave public one at that.
Iranian Wall Street Journal reporter Sohrab Ahmari announced on Twitter that he was converting to Catholicism following the shocking jihad beheading of an 86-year-old priest during a mass in Normandy, France.
Two jihadis pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before forcing the priest to his knees and slitting his throat.
They filmed it all; then took terrified nuns as hostage. (more…)
On 15th 9/11 Anniversary, Saeed Abedini Tells Muslims: ‘Islam Is From Satan,’ Followers Started War on Christianity on 9/11
September 12, 2016 – The Christian Post – Stoyan Zaimov
Pastor Saeed Abedini, a former American hostage who was held for three and a half years in an Iranian prison for his Christian faith, said on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 that Muslims started a war on Christianity with the terror attacks.
Abedini said that although most Christian pastors do not want to say it, Islam is a satanic religion that leads people astray.
“Fifteen years ago the shape of the whole world got changed forever and war between Islam and Christianity started by Muslims again,” [sic] Abedini wrote in a Facebook message on Sunday.
“Still after 15 years every day people die because of the teaching of Qur’an and Islam,” he added, referring to the global war on terrorism in the wake of the September 11 attacks, where close to 3,000 Americans were killed.
Donald Trump’s 4 promises to the Values Voter Summit
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Donald Trump became the first presidential nominee to address the Values Voter Summit on Friday afternoon, making four specific promises to evangelical pro-life and pro-family voters.
Speaking to a packed ballroom at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., Trump said the choice between him and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is as stark as it is obvious.
During “a Trump presidency, our Christian heritage will be cherished, protected, defended like you’ve never seen before,” he said.
“Your values of love, charity and faith built this nation,” he said. But “politicians have really abandoned you, to a large extent. And Hillary Clinton? You can forget about her.”
