Netanyahu Draws Red Line Iran Must Not be Allowed to Cross
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations yesterday, clearly establishing the “red line” that Iran must not be allowed to cross. He opened his remarks with a sharp retort to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s outrageous statements earlier this week that Israel has “no roots” in the Middle East. Netanyahu stated: Three thousand years ago, King David reigned over the Jewish state in our eternal capital, Jerusalem. I say that to all ... Continue Reading

Three Rules of (Leftist) Middle East Morality
As we suffer through the annual appalling spectacle of the U.N. welcoming the wanna-be genocidal president of Iran, it’s worth contemplating the twisted leftist morality of the Middle East. After years of debating Middle Eastern policy and politics with leftists on campus and elsewhere, I’ve learned the pitiful moral calculus in play. Here are three simple rules to help you understand their mindset: Rule 1: Nations who attempt genocide against Israel shall not suffer any lasting con... Continue Reading

The Reality of September 12
We have learned once again that in the Middle East, weakness kills. There is no amount of tolerance, understanding, or sympathy that will appease a Muslim radical, and the radicals will indeed see that tolerance as an invitation to strike. The attacks in Egypt and Libya on September 11 — of all days — are a brazen insult to Americans infinitely greater in magnitude than any insult to Muslims from a YouTube clip. They feel free to deliver such a blow because they perceive us as weak &... Continue Reading

Influential Saudi Cleric: Holocaust A "Myth Of Tremendous Proportions"
A disturbing new video has surfaced featuring an interview with a prominent Saudi Arabian Islamic Cleric by the name of Salman Al-Ouda. In his chilling words, Al-Ouda casually dismisses the Holocaust, saying it has become “a myth of tremendous proportions.” Without hesitation, Al-Ouda went on to claim that “the role of the Jews is to wreak destruction, to wage war, and to practice deception and extortion.” And that the Jewish people “believe that they have the righ...

Iranian Christian Convert Granted Asylum in the United States
We are pleased to report that the ACLJ has successfully represented an Iranian man who converted from Islam to Christianity and applied for asylum in the United States. Our client grew up in a Muslim family, but eventually began to question his Islamic faith. Although Islam was instilled in him as the one true religion at a young age, as our client grew older, he became concerned with the strict and rigid application of Islamic doctrine to Iranian society. His discontent with Islam culminated i... Continue Reading

Would Democracy Mean the End of Liberty in Egypt?
As Americans we’ve been raised on a simple moral formula: Democracy is good and dictatorships are bad. Historically, it’s tried and true – democracies rarely go to war with each other, democracies tend to protect individual liberty, and democracies are generally more prosperous than dictatorships. But our Founders recognized something that too many of us forget: A democracy is only as good as its citizens. A totalitarian, violent, racist electorate tends to elect totalitarian,...

What Does Mohamed Morsi Mean for Egypt?
There are probably a lot of people who have lost track of what is happening in Egypt, but this is a situation that Americans really ought to stay informed about. Egypt just conducted its first democratic presidential election ever, and elected a candidate fielded by the radical Islamic political party, the Muslim Brotherhood – which had been banned in Egypt for decades. The election of Mohamed Morsi and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood raise grave concerns not only for Egyptian-American... Continue Reading

Muslim Brotherhood: Egypt’s Christians Must "Convert, Pay Tribute, or Leave"
According to a popular Egyptian website, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Egyptian presidential candidate, Mohammed Morsi, has stated that Christians will be forced to “convert, pay tribute, or leave.” When asked about Coptic Christians in Egypt, Morsi reportedly told a journalist, “They have to know that the conquest is coming and Egypt will be Muslim and they have to pay tribute or migrate as one who left.” He reportedly stated that it was his goal as a presidential can...

Engaging Iran at the United Nations to Free Pastor Youcef
For the first time, the Iranian regime has admitted to the world community that the case against Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani involves his Christian faith and religious activity, as there are new calls at the United Nations (UN) for his immediate release. As I sit in a room full of international media and representatives of UN member states at a meeting of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, listening to Special Rapporteur Dr. Ahmed Shaheed present his report on human rights abuses in ...
