IDI

The Ideological Defense Institute equips policymakers, the Church, and the public to counter ideological threats to Western civilization.

[IDI @idicenter]

🧵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.

Four of the five ancient sees of Christendom lay under Islam. Only one mountain church in the Levant still holds an unbroken line to the apostles, and it's still standing today.

In Pakistan, Christians face systemic discrimination that forces them into hazardous labor with minimal safety protections. They are allowed to only occupy lower-status jobs such as cleaning and sanitation work, or as bonded laborers in brick kilns.

Many Christians are trapped in debt. Workers are forced to descend into deep sewers without protective gear (like masks or gloves), exposing them to toxic gases. This exploitation continues to take lives.

The Islamo-left unholy alliance operates on an identical model of perpetual victimhood. Two countries are being punished for deciding to step out.

The West, which criticizes Israel for its alleged sins against minorities, has shown no equivalent interest in the actual condition of religious minorities in the Islamic states that surround Israel. This is a scandal.
