🧵Introducing IDI. The most trusted source of information on the Middle East, Islam and the Ideological threats facing the West.

Subject-matter experts, former Muslims, Arab Christians, and Western thought leaders, coming together to equip policymakers to prevent destructive foreign ideas from being translated into law, restore confidence in the biblical principles that built the West by empowering the Church to reengage the public square, and provide the public with solid analysis to combat the confusion that is making the West vulnerable.

Rome betrays millions of Christian victims of Islam, its own history, and its own faith by whitewashing Islam.

Nothing has changed. The swastika has been replaced by the flag of a made-up state, and now we might witness another Kristallnacht in Philadelphia.

The battle is no longer between Republicans and Democrats, but between the principles that founded America and the ideologies determined to dismantle them.

Islam cannot be treated as a religion when it demands respect, a race when it faces ridicule, and a political ideology when it seeks power. You cannot keep changing the definition to make criticism a crime and disagreement a prejudice.

Today is the International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism, marked globally on November 9 to commemorate the victims of the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 9–10, 1938 in Nazi Germany and Austria.

On November 9, 1938, the Nazi regime unleashed Kristallnacht pogrom.

Over two days of state-sponsored terror, Nazi mobs and SS (Schutzstaffel) forces murdered dozens of Jewish people, burned hundreds of synagogues, vandalized and looted thousands of Jewish homes and businesses, and arrested around 30,000 Jewish men, sending them to concentration camps. This event marked a major escalation into the systematic horrors of the Holocaust.

As antisemitism rears its ugly face across the world once again, we remember the victims, honor the survivors, and renew our absolute vow: Never again.

“Thou shalt not subject Islam, its Scripture, or its Prophet to historical-critical analysis. This is the first and the greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it: “It is Islamophobic so to do.”

While every ethnic and religious group has sought to use its heritage month to highlight its positive contributions and raise awareness of the prejudice it faces, Islamophobia Awareness Month has been used as a vehicle for increasing Muslim political leverage over wider society.

The morning after the election, Republicans are blaming inflation, Israel, and Trump. But what happened yesterday was a triumph for two ideological movements with a shared hostility toward the nation-state.

This Islamophobia Awareness Month, let’s stop protecting Islam. Let’s not give Sharia, jihad, apostasy laws, or the undermining of Western civilization immunity from scrutiny.

“Islamophobia” is a term propagated to protect Muslims from prejudice, but in reality, it was designed to shield Islam from scrutiny, let Islam infiltrate the West unchallenged, and cripple the West’s ability to defend the victims of Islam.

Christians in the Middle East do not need more speeches about coexistence. They need protection, equal citizenship, and serious international attention to the forces driving them from the lands where Christianity began.

“Moderate” Islam is simply Islamism restrained by authoritarian rulers. “Radical” Islam is what happens when mainstream Islam encounters the freedoms of a liberal democracy.

Why does Pope Leo want to spare a Muslim jihadist who murdered 13 American soldiers from execution?

Marx and Muhammad should have nothing in common. Yet the radical Left and Islam have found common cause in dismantling the West from within.

When Marx Meets Islam exposes the alliance, names the players, and shows how universities, activist networks, media, foreign states, and politicians move together against Western civilization.

The West keeps romanticizing the very history it should be learning from.

The myth of “tolerant” Islamic Spain needs to die.

Al-Andalus was born through conquest, ruled under Islamic supremacy, and reduced Christians and Jews to subordinate status under Muslim rule.

The moment a society treats any religion as too sacred to criticize, freedom of conscience, the pillar on which the West was built, is at stake.

Saudi Arabia sentenced a Hindu man to death for insulting Islam, the same ideology that did not merely insult, but erased entire civilizations across Asia.

Even though the so-called “Islamic Golden Age” was simply a period in which Muslims hijacked the achievements of the non-Islamic civilizations they had conquered, and Muslims still attribute those achievements to Islam, even the few Muslim intellectuals who participated were persecuted, accused of heresy, had their books burned, and killed.

Takfir is the Islamic doctrine that turns non-Muslims into enemies of Allah and makes jihad against them a sacred duty.
