The Muslims and us: Worshiping the same God?

Celebration Day!

My family and I are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have finalized the adoption of our son (and brother).

Arab Spring: Democracy or Caliphate?

Rarely do I post articles or news stories these days, but the following piece, written by Syed Shariq, a Muslim analyst of the Middle East, articulates precisely what we’ve been expressing on this blog for years now.

Obama administration reaches out to the Muslim Brotherhood

“After the dust settles and the Egyptian government is reformed, the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan) will certainly ease their way into significant positions of power, not at all unlike Hezbollah in Lebanon… In a dramatic and portentous shift, the U.S. and even Israel will be forced to recognize and deal with the strengthened Ikhwan Party in […]

Queers for Palestine?

Joel Richardson OK, Jew haters. Uncle. I give up. Your over-the-top, irrational hatred of Israel genuinely knows no limits. Breaking the camel’s back just isn’t enough, you have to drag the camel’s carcass through the streets of Manhattan as well?

Dr. John MacArthur teaching the Islamic end-time paradigm

I am very thankful for men of courage and genuine shepherds such as Dr. John MacArthur. Here, MacArthur teaches directly from my books Islamic Antichrist and God’s War on Terror.

Beck (and Farrakhan) on the Mahdi – Must See

Will A Nuclear Caliphate Rise From Unrest In The Mideast?

Seven years ago, I was only one among a small handful of voices warning of a coming Caliphate in the Middle East. Even today many voices within Christian prophecy circles disregard the idea off-hand, believing instead that the Islamic world will soon face a series of devastating and supernatural judgments leading essentially to the evaporation […]

World War III in the Middle East?

Joel Richardson Despite President Obama’s mildly presumptuous declarations that his ascension to power would signal “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal,” we’re now two years in, and rather than healing, it appears as though the world is instead developing an incredibly nasty infection.

Turkey and the Restoration of the Caliphate

In 2004, when I completed the initial version of what has become the book, The Islamic Antichrist, most popular analysts claimed that Turkey was increasingly turning away from Islamism and toward a western-friendly orientation.
