Big Government Protects Big Abortion
Imagine a state with a business or industry – any business or industry – with a horrendous track record of harming, sometimes even killing its customers. For years this business has somehow managed to fly under the radar of state regulators, concealing its slipshod, unsafe practices from those...

Have We Forgotten We’re a Superpower?
One of the most puzzling aspects of America’s relationship with Iran is the reality that — by rhetoric and conduct — the United States acts as if it fears Iran, while Iran behaves as if it has nothing to fear from the U.S. Iran commits repeated acts of war against the U.S., unlawfully holds our...
Skeptical of IRS Rewrite of ObamaCare
Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could cripple ObamaCare. The Supreme Court has a critical opportunity to reject IRS regulations that illegally authorize tax subsidies for purchasers of health insurance on federal healthcare exchanges. The ACLJ has filed an amicus...
Defeat Obama’s Lawless Executive Action
We have just filed a second critical amicus brief against President Obama’s unconstitutional Executive action on immigration. Recently, a federal district court correctly concluded that President Obama “is not just rewriting the laws, he is creating them from scratch.” It agreed with our first...
Teach the True Nature of the Enemy
Late last week the New York Times ran an essay by a Marine infantry officer, Timothy Kudo , based on Mr. Kudo’s experience giving orders to kill men in Afghanistan. He didn’t pull the trigger, but he gave the orders — often viewing the action on grainy screens. His essay is thoughtful, though it...
President Won’t Call ISIS ‘Muslim?’
So, it turns out that at least some ISIS supporters believe that our government’s persistent refusal to understand or acknowledge their Islamic roots — instead preferring to rely on standard “legitimate grievances” or “root causes” explanations for jihad — actually grants ISIS a significant...
It's a War Against Jihad Not Poverty
Now we know why apocalyptic jihadists rule vast stretches of the Middle East, beheading and burning alive all who oppose them. Because it’s too hard to start a business in Syria. At least that’s the verdict of State Department spokesperson Marie Harf, who declared earlier this week that fighting...
War on ISIS Is Still Ineffectual
As Andrew noted , last night State Department spokesperson Marie Harf declared that we “cannot kill our way out of this war.” Instead, she supports — of course — dealing with “root causes,” like — you know — insufficient young entrepreneurs in the Middle East. Facing intense criticism, she took to...
Bracing Truth about ISIS and Islam
Over at The Atlantic , Graeme Wood has written the most important article I’ve yet read about ISIS and Islam, an excerpt: But Muslims who call the Islamic State un-Islamic are typically, as the Princeton scholar Bernard Haykel, the leading expert on the group’s theology, told me, “embarrassed and...
ISIS Abducts 220 Christian Hostages
ISIS has just viciously abducted 220 Christians in Syria. It is devastatingly likely that ISIS will attempt to behead, crucify, or even burn them alive in its ever-increasing brutality. The jihadist army ravishing Iraq, Syria, and even Libya has indiscriminately killed men, women, and children of...
ISIS Couldn’t Silence Their Faith
Last weekend, we learned in horror that ISIS had beheaded another 21 Christians, this time from Egypt. ISIS’s reign of terror in the region knows no bounds – it knows no national boundaries – as these men were taken from a village in Libya. Yet, even in the horror of ISIS’s barbarism, these...
Christian Acquitted of False Charges
The ECLJ is pleased to inform you that our affiliate in Pakistan, the Organization for Legal Aid (OLA), has successfully obtained the acquittal of Imtiaz Masih, a Christian who was falsely accused of killing his Muslim employer’s brother in Sheikhupura, Pakistan. The situation involved three...
Obama Acknowledges Christian "Genocide"
As ISIS continues to wage genocide against Christians in Iraq, your voice is making a difference. For months we’ve been telling you about the plight of Iraq’s Christians as ISIS has unleashed a barbaric and deadly wave of persecution throughout the region. ISIS – the Islamic State – is using its...
