Leaders of the Afghanistan Bible Society blazed new ground Oct. 24 by helping launch satellite Christian television and online programming into a country where owning a Bible and publicly worshipping Jesus Christ are forbidden. Mozhda TV is the first exclusively Christian channel broadcast into Afghanistan, where the authoritarian Taliban took control in 2021 and instituted strict Sharia law, destroying public displays of Christianity, banning Bibles and barring women and girls from access to education. Christians in the Muslim-majority nation live under constant threat of being discovered and reported.

You may have seen cars with bumper stickers on them with the word COEXIST. There is a subtle though clear message tucked away behind this single word. The message is that religion is the problem behind many or even all of the world’s problems. We’re told that if religious groups could just “celebrate the common ground” between them and tolerate their differences, the world would be a better place. Sadly, the T in COEXIST is in the form of the cross, and thus Christianity is lumped together with some other religions represented by symbols that coincide with the other letters in the word. The Christian message of “love your enemies and do good to those who hate you” is lumped in with other religions, including one that has been known for religious extremism since its inception. While all religions have their extremists, Islam is more known for adherents that exhibit extremist behavior than other groups.
France’s bloated welfare state, stagnant economy, and ideological hostility to assimilation have created enclaves of immigrants who, at best, do not feel they have any stake in French society; and at worst, are actively hostile to France and to Western civilization writ large. This has proven to be fertile ground for Islamists seeking to foment hostility to the French state, who have made common cause with the Left-wing radicals exacerbating these riots. And of course, the Islamists and antisemites who have deployed the atrocities of October 7 as a recruiting tool are using the so-called “protests” as an excuse for the premeditated destruction of synagogues and Jewish businesses.
Although the name Ali Shariati would not be familiar to most people, he was in many ways the ideological architect of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. Shariati was born in Iran but studied in Paris during the 1960s. It was during this time in a Western institution that Shariati developed a new theoretical approach to the combination of Marxism, existentialism (the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives) and Islam. Though he did not live to see the 1979 Revolution (he died in 1977), his writings mobilized a generation of revolutionaries.
“This is tragically common in Egypt, where Christians face threats, discrimination, and ultimately imprisonment for speech that is only seen as problematic because they are not part of the majority religion. These young men did nothing but share a lighthearted video with a voiceover from a popular and uncontroversial film, as many others on the platform have done. There is no reason to charge or imprison them. We have seen far too many cases of this nature in Egypt. Christians should never have to fear punishment for sharing a post. We urge the authorities to release these six young men and drop any investigations against them immediately.“
With Paris burning, I’ve been thinking a lot about something I read ten years ago while doing research for The Hal Lindsey Report. I came across some things written by Dr. Peter Hammond, a South African missionary. He had made a study of ways Islam gains control of nations. Hal had also made an extensive study of Islam, especially when writing his book, The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad. Dr. Hammond’s straightforward warnings intrigued Hal. In that 2016 episode of Hal’s program, he quoted from Dr. Hammond’s book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam. “The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.”
We are seeing a perfect storm over France and, to a certain extent—if not now, then very soon—over all of Western Europe. That storm is the Red/Green Axis destructive agenda in action. The French Extreme Left Party LFI (La France Insoumise) led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon has partnered with the large community of Muslims living in France–many of them born there and automatically considered as French citizens. Mr. Mélenchon knows that he will never become the French Président. All he wants is chaos, and more chaos, across all of France. This is the result of decades of open borders and immigration from North and West Africa.
“Friday’s attack on the Hammoud Church in Jordan is a heinous assault on the universal human right to worship freely,” said Shawn Wright, President of International Christian Concern (ICC). “We stand with those who are mourning following the attack and call for justice to be served, with those responsible to be held accountable through due process.”
Israel, of course, is at the epicenter—with Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the ongoing threat from Iran. The United States is also facing off against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, with this global oil chokepoint still being restrained and escalation ready to break out at any moment. Iran is preparing for all-out war. Iranian leaders are making all kinds of bombastic threats, trying to deter a renewed large-scale assault by the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is threatening to use the “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) against the regime. Then you have all the crisis and chaos in Europe. It's being described as “horror.”
When political grievances become an excuse for destruction, Constitutional government must stand firm — or risk surrendering the streets to the mob. The scenes unfolding in France should serve as a warning to every American who values liberty, public order, and constitutional government. When thousands of demonstrators take to the streets, when political protests descend into looting and arson, and when historic public buildings become targets of mob violence, a nation must ask itself a fundamental question: Who is really in charge? The rule of law, the citizens and their elected representatives? Or the most aggressive factions willing to intimidate everyone else?
After a previous dismissal of all charges, federal prosecutors in Brazil have filed a special appeal to reopen their case against Isadora Borges, a veterinary student who previously faced up to 10 years in prison for expressing her views on gender ideology on X. The prosecution has petitioned the court to review the previous decision, and if successful, Borges will once again be on trial, facing the same prison sentence.
Sánchez spoke of transformation during his address from the Moncloa Palace, the very place where he devised the current plan to regularize the status of over half a million undocumented immigrants in the country — many hailing from cultures antithetical to Western values. It is a move that, according to the patriotic party VOX, will bring about a “demographic, social, labor, and electoral transformation” without consulting the Spanish people.
Myanmar’s military junta has destroyed two Christian churches in separate attacks in the country’s predominantly Christian regions, prompting renewed accusations of religious persecution and violations of international humanitarian law as the nation’s bloody civil war continues.
We’re seeing Europe’s globalists paving the way for the Antichrist. They are throwing out the welcome mat.
No, the title of Antichrist doesn’t belong to bumbling Emmanuel Macron, but in 2016, even The Economist magazine was calling him Europe’s savior. How God humbles the proud. As the head of France, no European leader today should be as ashamed as Emmanuel Macron, who casually enjoyed a Celine Dion concert while policemen were on fire in Paris and elsewhere.
Now the world knows he's no savior. But there is one standing by somewhere. He will rise from obscurity.
There have been riots and demonstrations in Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and beyond, but began in mid-September in France.
The absolute chaos and anarchy we are seeing in France is shocking, no doubt, but it's not surprising if you've been following what has been happening in Western Europe over the past two or three decades. During that time, many of us begged our European friends to secure their borders, to cut the mass Islamic migration, and preserve their culture, society, and civilization. They didn't listen. Now we see the bitter fruits. The wave of Islamists that descended upon the continent was met with a welcome mat—a prayer mat—rolled out by woke, weak European governments. Those Islamists are now aligning with leftists, Marxists, socialists, and communists—and there's no easy way out as this red-green alliance sweeps throughout Europe.
A Washington school district has agreed to stop imposing a policy that forced students to hide their Bibles in sealed envelopes. The district must also stop barring a Christian nonprofit from participating in certain school fairs. LifeWise Academy, a nonprofit which offers public school students voluntary Bible education during school hours, challenged the policies in a lawsuit with the help of First Liberty Institute. As part of the settlement, Everett School District must publicly apologize and pay $275,000 in attorney fees, as well as provide religious liberty training for school board members.
Sources in Nepal and South Korea state that the Koreans were arrested at a gathering at the Nepal New Covenant College (NNCC) in Morang District on Oct. 9. NNCC Principal Sarad KC told UCA News that “the visitors were interacting with believers inside a local bible college and not preaching or sharing the gospel in public with the intention of proselytization. The arrest raises fears over targeted hostility towards Christians by the state.” The NNCC has been teaching theological courses for Nepalese Christians since 2013.
Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates, and supervises banks and federal savings associations.
“The gospel belongs on the streets” was the message that anchored the day as we joined Bread of Life Community Church on Colchester High Street to stand up for their right to freely share the full gospel in public. Next week, the church will be in the Magistrates’ Court appealing a Community Protection Notice (CPN) which seeks to silence their freedom to share the full gospel with the community. Council wardens issued the CPN against Bread of Life, prohibiting the church’s use of amplification as well as warning them about the content of their preaching in relation to divine judgment and hell.
The largest student-led youth organization in U.S. agriculture barred the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) from participating in the 2026 National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis later this month, solely for its religion. Christian legal organization Liberty Counsel filed a demand letter on FCFI’s behalf. The National Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization denied FCFI exhibit space, stating that FFA policy bars groups with “religious affiliations” from eligibility to exhibit. For decades prior to 2018, the FCFI, a non-profit Christian ministry that seeks to connect faith and agriculture, had been exhibiting at the FFA’s national expo. But around 2018, it was “disinvited” for not aligning with FFA’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” expected goals.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny over his immigration and domestic policy positions after a 2018 interview resurfaced showing him advocating for the US to welcome asylum seekers and refusing to commit state resources to federal immigration enforcement.
The insinuation to nefarious or unethical motivations in the Post piece reflects the typical suspicion, skepticism, and general negativity of mainstream reporters who often seem incapable of or unwilling to accept Christians behaving like Christians. In a hyper cynical climate like the Beltway, many find it impossible to believe that a Christian woman would be led to help other women without some ulterior incentive.
The unholy red-green alliance is the main reason Europe is a basket case today. Mass civil unrest and civil war seem inevitable. There's no easy way out of the mess Europe's elites have created. They chose to import millions of Muslims, reject Christianity, and embrace socialism. Now the people of Europe are paying a very heavy price. Across the West, you see two nations willing to defend their civilization: the United States and Israel. Everything else in between, from Europe to Canada to Australia, is a mess.
There’s limited access to a digital version of the Bible across countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia, but surveillance and monitorization are intense, Christian websites are often blocked, and extremist groups keep a keen eye on Bible use and distribution. “The translation exists. The digital Bible exists. Safe access does not.”
Socialism — let’s be clear — was never really about prioritizing workers. It was merely about appealing to them in order to use them as cannon fodder to seize power, whether through violence or at the ballot box. Socialism is about taking from those who have worked, saved, and invested wisely, in order to give a portion to those whom socialists believe might become their voters. It’s about demonizing the ordinary man who is more concerned with providing for his family, saving, and raising them according to his principles — while exalting those who place the “cause” above all else. Socialism is about lying, killing, imprisoning, plundering, and exiling entire populations — if necessary — to maintain control. Those are the true fruits of a socialist system.
If voters are trying to imagine what the nation would look like under the socialist policies of a Democratic majority in Congress, look no farther than California. Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and the Democratic supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature offer an extensive list of policies flowing from the same socialist and Marxist ideology being championed by the ascendant wing of the Democratic Party.
“Standing silently and holding certain beliefs in a public space should never be a crime. Yet, despite being vindicated of wrongdoing on multiple occasions and receiving a financial settlement after two wrongful arrests, I was once again charged last year for my mere presence within a “buffer zone”, and have today received fresh charges. I am deeply troubled by this violation of the basic right to my own thoughts and to my deeply-held Christian pro-life convictions. I pray that common sense and freedom will prevail, so that no one else has to face criminal treatment for what they believe.“ — Isabel Vaughan-Spruce
“The United States should challenge Beijing’s unlawful maritime claims and back that challenge with action. China is using administrative demands, artificial island construction, and intimidation to establish control that international law does not grant it. Every concession makes the next demand easier. Undersea cables are critical national security infrastructure. They carry communications essential to commerce, government, and military operations. Allowing Beijing to decide who can install or repair those cables in waters beyond its lawful jurisdiction gives China dangerous leverage over its neighbors.”
By July 2026, investigators say Mohamud had begun discussing an attack at the Mall of America. He allegedly told the confidential source that he wanted to purchase firearms and target the mall because he believed it was owned by Jews, saying he wanted to kill 30 to 60 people.
“What I think the state is doing is it’s trying to intimidate churches into following through with this,” he lamented. “They should not be receiving any kind of ideological training from the state on any moral issue. That’s why what churches need to be doing is asking for religious accommodations. The federal law and the state law already require businesses to accommodate people’s faith if they’re being required to do something that violates their faith. … [T]his is one of those points in history here in California where civil disobedience is going to be necessary.”
The controversy began in October 2023, when California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law a measure that allowed religious institutions and nonprofit colleges to bypass local zoning laws in order to quickly establish affordable housing. The measure was apparently intended to make it easier for local jurisdictions to abide by state regulations that mandate a certain amount of appropriately zoned land in order to accommodate population growth across all economic levels, including extremely low-income individuals like the homeless. But now, churches in the deep blue state are finding that property developers are attempting to use the regulations to force them to sell property against their will, which could eventually devolve into their property being confiscated through eminent domain.
Most Christians are aware of the struggle the church in Communist China has had with the government of that country. They have suffered from years of intense persecution and the limited ability to legally evangelize, gather to worship, or even teach their own children about Christ. As anti-Christian sentiment grows across the West, including here in America, we can expect policies like those in China to make their way over here, eventually (unless something changes, of course). Actually, the foundation for such persecution and limitation of Christian freedom is already being laid in America and the entire Western world.
This is a vitally important case for Christian freedoms. The case now rests on whether employers are entitled to subject Christians to additional vetting because of their Christian beliefs. Should an employer discover that you are a Christian, is the employer entitled to require an additional interview, demand assurances from you about your beliefs, or even refuse you employment because of your Christian beliefs? This, then, is really about whether employers can discriminate against you because of your Christian beliefs. Requiring an extra interview, or extra assurances, is discriminatory after all. Arguing that people may be at risk of suicide if they find out you are a Christian is a whole other level of discriminatory thinking. It amounts to claiming that Christian belief is a dangerous thought crime.
