UK Muslim leaders demand that Cameron call the Islamic State the “Un-Islamic State”

File this under The Truth Hurts.


“Using the group’s preferred name could help it radicalise yet more Britons, the signatories wrote.” So apparently they would have us believe that David Cameron calling the Islamic State “the Islamic State” will make young Muslims in Britain think that it is an Islamic State, and that they must go wage jihad on its behalf. And that makes sense, since David Cameron is such a renowned imam, his word on Islam commands singular respect among Muslims.

But what are the Islamic Society of Britain, New Horizons in British Islam, the Association of British Muslims and the Association of Muslim Lawyers doing to teach young Muslims that the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam is wrong? Are they taking any steps at all in that direction, or are all their efforts aimed at keeping the kuffar ignorant and complacent?

Prince Charles makes a donation for Christians in Iraq

In light of the persecution of Christians in Iraq, Prince Charles has made a donation to the Chaldean Church.

In the letter he states he is heartbroken by the 'unbearable and barbaric' persecution of minorities at the hands of the Islamic State. He also writes that his heart goes out to all those whose lives have been shattered by the conflict.


The donation was made through 'Aid to the Church in Need.' The Prince says he hopes, it will help overcome what he describes as a 'diabolic evil.'

In response to his letter and donation, the head of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, thanked him and also asked him to encourage the international community to take action amid the disaster and the suffering.

The Chaldean Church has roughly 500,000 members, but amid the instability and persecution, the number is dwindling.

French Daily Suggests West's Silence Is Persecuting Iraqi Christians

The silence of world leaders and the media in the face of the ethno-religious cleansing taking place in Iraq is becoming increasingly noticed.

Today, Le Figaro, France's oldest and largest daily, questioned on its front page how long people in the West can ignore the persecutions of Christians taking place there. The editorial ran with the headline: "The Calvary of the Christians of Iraq." 

Its author, Étienne de Montety, called for the West to speak up, to not remain in silence and wondered how Christians and non-Christians can remain indifferent to the "terrifying procession of horrors, expulsions, murders in Mosul."

De Montety pointed out that the Christians of Iraq were 1 million before the American intervention and now there are less than 400,000. "With each wave of vexations, violence, persecutions, they take the path of exodus," he said.

He noted that both Pope Francis and the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki Moon, have spoken out against the persecution and foreign ministries are worried and have been raising their tone.

But he pointed out the irony that Europeans are usually "so eager" to have "mobilizations, petitions, demonstrations of every kind, but "in this case, nothing!"

He wondered if the West will only be prompted to act if a massacre takes place outside the summer vacation period.

Through silence, the writer stated, "we are persecuting."

The newspaper article was first cited by the Rorate Caeli blog which said it was to Le Figaro's "greatest honor" that it chose to put the story on its front page. (D.C.L.)
