Pro-Life Sidewalk Counselors Protected
As previously reported , the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) recently filed a lawsuit against the City of Fort Myers, Florida, and one of its police officers for preventing pro-life sidewalk counselors from communicating with women going into and out of a local abortion clinic. We...
220 Christian Hostages ISIS Abducted
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...

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...
PA Responsible for Terrorist Attacks
We’ve long warned about the dangers of embracing the Palestinian “unity government” formed by the Palestine Authority and the terrorist group Hamas. Now a federal court has held that the Palestinian Authority itself is directly responsible for terrorist attacks carried out on Israeli civilians. The...
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...
Left’s Weapon Dividing The Country
In the late summer of 1991, I think I might have been the most insecure person alive. I was driving a Ryder van from Georgetown, Ky., (my hometown), to Cambridge, Mass., to start my first year at Harvard Law School. I was pretty sure the admissions committee had made a mistake, or — at the very...
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...
President Obama's Disconnect on ISIS
President Obama is now asking Congress for authority to declare war on ISIS – the Islamic State – something ISIS declared on America more than two years ago. Putting aside the debate of whether he actually needs congressional authority to continue to take the fight to this terrorist army or whether...
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...
The Moral ‘High Horse’ of Apologizing for Other People’s Actions
There are few moral fashions more tiresome than the largely liberal tendency to “apologize” for the actions of others — whether it’s America’s past sins, the sins ofMedieval Christianity, or the actions of your contemporary political opponents. In the Evangelical world, more liberal Evangelicals...
Obama: 'Doing everything we can for...
It was quite unexpected and most welcomed. President Obama taking the lead – in a very public way – in ongoing efforts to free American Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen held in Iran for nearly two and a half years merely because of his Christian faith. At the National Prayer Breakfast in...
