Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians

“Systematic oppression of Christians in the Islamic world is as little reported on as it is increasingly widespread. Yet to document the ongoing tragedy requires fluency in Arabic, familiarity with the Middle East, and a courage to report what is often denied abroad and felt better left unsaid at home. Raymond Abraham has both the skills and commitment to enlighten the world about oppression and intolerance in this much need exposé—characterized by scholarship, prodigious research, and a commitment to the truth.”

—Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow, classics and military history, the Hoover
Institution, Stanford University, and author,
Carnage and Culture

“The great unspoken civil rights issue of our day is sharia—how its suffocating laws and the supremacist culture it breeds are incompatible with the Western ideals of liberty and the equal dignity of every human life. The great unspoken scandal of our day is the brutality with which this incompatibility manifests itself, from Morocco across to Indonesia, from Turkey down to sub-Saharan Africa, in the Muslim slaughter of Christian populations. Only the spotlight of faithful, tireless reporting can shame us into speaking about, and ending, the slaughter. On that score, no one is more faithful, more tireless, and more valuable than Raymond Ibrahim. This is an essential book.”

“The most aggressive force in the world today is the Islamic movement to subdue and then outlaw rival creeds, including those that are secular. Most people assume the primary targets of Islamic supremacists are Jews. Raymond Ibrahim’s indispensable book shows that they are Christians and democrats as well.”

—David Horowitz, founding president of the David Horowitz
Freedom Center and editor of FrontPage Magazine

“Raymond Ibrahim eloquently, relentlessly highlights a topic of the greatest urgency but only passingly noted and generally ignored in polite society: rampant Muslim (and not just Islamist) jihadi aggression these days against all that is Christian—crosses, holidays, churches, beliefs, and believers. He documents how Muslims, drawing ultimately on medieval sources, mistreat Christians ‘from Morocco in the west to Indonesia in the east, from Turkey in the north, to sub-Saharan Africa in the south.’ Ibrahim then convincingly explains why Western academics, journalists, and politicians tend to skip over these systematic human rights abuses by portraying them as anomalies to a ‘rule of tolerance that is presumed to prevail in Islam.’ He concludes by warning of the potential threat jihad poses to every non-Muslim. We are in Ibrahim’s debt both for his research and for marshalling it to great effect.”

—Daniel Pipes, president, Middle East Forum

“Raymond Ibrahim is one of the very few writers on the scene today who has the courage, knowledge, and insight to be able to expose not only what is happening to Christians in Muslim lands, but why it is happening—despite the desperate attempts of politically correct Leftist enablers of the global jihad to obscure both of those things. This book reveals a scandal of astounding proportions: the persecution itself, as well as the silence and complacency of the international human rights community in the face of that persecution. Every UN official should be told that U.S. funding will be withdrawn from that woebegone organization unless and until this book is read and heeded.”

—Robert Spencer, author of the
New York Times

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
and
The Truth about Muhammad

“Take the blinders off and the earplugs out and read Raymond Ibrahim’s timely and explosive exposé to find out what the media won’t tell you: that Christians are suffering, dying, and disappearing across what we now think of as the Islamic world, and why. There is no sharper student of the current Arab scene than Ibrahim, whose fluency in Arabic and understanding of Islamic law and culture endow his analysis of this specifically Islamic assault on religious freedom with essential context and historical perspective.”

—Diana West, nationally syndicated columnist and author of

and

The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character

“The phenomenon of religious persecution has been a feature of medieval times on both sides of the Mediterranean and plagued Europe until popular revolutions established the concept of secular and pluralist state in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately the Greater Middle East and North Africa, particularly under Islamist regimes, witnessed a continued suppression of Muslim liberals, of all minorities in general, and of Christian minorities in particular till our current days. From the Copts of Egypt to the Assyro-Chaldeans of Iraq, from Iran to Lebanon, various Christian communities—Orthodox, Catholics, and Protestants—traversed tragic decades of legal, political, and psychological discrimination. Raymond Ibrahim, a former researcher at the Library of Congress and the author of
The Al Qaeda Reader
, has been a prolific writer on Middle East Christian affairs. In this book he expands the analysis of the roots and bases of persecution. A necessary read that links Jihadism to human rights abuse.”

—Walid Phares, visiting fellow at the European Foundation for Democracy
and author of
The War of Ideas: Jihadism against Democracy

“In
Crucified Again
, Raymond Ibrahim exposes Islam’s dirty little secret of utter intolerance and persecution of Christians and its inability to co-exist with other faiths. Ibrahim, an American-born son of Christian immigrants from the Middle East, is clearly committed to be the voice of the voiceless Christians living under the wickedness of Islamic tyranny.”

—Nonie Darwish, director of Former Muslims United and author of
Now
They Call Me Infidel
,

,
and
The Devil We Don’t Know

“Raymond Ibrahim knows the Islamic world well and is one of the few reporters courageous enough to tell the story of the global persecution of Christians by radical Islamists. The English-speaking world needs to know what Raymond Ibrahim has to report, and Christian readers need to pray and speak up for the victims whose stories he tells with such passion and verve.”

—David Alton, Lord Alton of Liverpool, member of parliament

“If you want to know what’s really happening in the Muslim world, there’s one man to turn to: Raymond Ibrahim. As a Christian, he takes a special interest in reporting the great unreported story of our time, the brutal persecution of Christians by Muslims across the world.
Cruci fied Again
is a stunning and revelatory book that should be in the hands of every congressman, everyone at the State Department, and every member of the National Security Council—not to mention in the hands of every reader who cares about Islamist aggression, human rights, and the survival of Christians in the Holy Land and elsewhere.”

—Steven Emerson, executive director of the Investigative Project
on Terrorism, author of numerous books, and director of the
award-winning documentary
Jihad in America

“
Crucified Again
masterfully ‘joins the dots’ of persecution of Christians at the hands of their Muslim neighbors. Raymond Ibrahim’s politically incorrect but irrefutable conclusion is that Islam itself is the root cause of an aggressively advancing global epidemic of human pain and suffering. This book is a wake-up call for the West, and a courageous act of compassion for Islam’s victims.”
