IDI

🧵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.

The Jews, Your Majesty, the Jews, are proof enough of the existence of God.

Erdoğan didn’t just reshape Turkey, he reversed Atatürk’s vision. @JJJuraid writes "The Sultan’s Suicidal Gamble: Erdogan, the Betrayal of Atatürk" idicenter.org/article/the-su…

Outrage over Netanyahu’s quote missed the point entirely. Will Durant wasn’t equating Jesus with Genghis Khan, he was stating a hard truth: history does not reward virtue automatically. The righteous do not survive simply because they are right. idicenter.org/article/what-w…

One wonders whether Carlson would demand DNA tests from Palestinian citizens whose surnames—al-Masri, al-Jazairi, Bushnak—openly proclaim recent Egyptian, Algerian, or Bosnian origins, or whether the “DNA rule” applies only to those whose historical connection he seeks to undermine. idicenter.org/article/tucker…

In Vienna schools, Barcelona classrooms, and Berlin city halls, Ramadan is reshaping public life in Europe. Is this multicultural inclusion, or the normalization of Islam and the paving of the way for its political ambition? idicenter.org/article/ramada…

For 78 years the Middle East revolved around the war against Israel. But what happens if the Iranian regime falls? Could the 2026 war forcibly reshape the entire region? Read this article by @magdi_khalil idicenter.org/article/the-mi…

Lebanon is not one nation, it’s a collection of competing sects. Any peace deal signed today will reflect the interests of those who hold power, not the whole country. And that means one thing: the Christians of Mount Lebanon will pay the price. idicenter.org/article/peace-…

More than 30 people will be arrested today in Britain for “hate speech.” Now the state prosecutes expression based on interpretation, not action. Criticism of Islam increasingly falls into that protected space, not by formal law alone, but through enforcement patterns that make the boundary clear. idicenter.org/article/the-co…
