Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ghulam Ali Naeem Abadi, who represents Iran’s Supreme Leader in Hormozgan province, put his foot in his mouth recently. How?

Toronto Muslim Nabil Huruy was ahead of his time. His ideas, deemed radical by many, were put into practice not long before they became mainstream.

“I can’t wait to die as a martyr.” 27-year-old Italian convert Muslimah Maria Giulia Sergio has (in addition to three first names) the wrong idea of what a good society is.

Dr. (though hopefully not for long) Azhar Abdullah is a […]

An Oklahoma Christian offered a down-on-his-luck man a place to stay. This admirable act inspired by Christianity’s teachings of charity, however, would soon come back to hurt the host.
