A United Europe - Rise or Fall in the coming weeks (A Revived Roman Empire?)
Europe today presents a contradictory picture. It is a land of peace, democracy, and the rule of law. It is also a land of prosperity: its economy is competitive, its currency strong, inflation is low, and its standards of living are among the highest in the world. Europeans benefit from very high levels of social protection, inexpensive, high-quality education, strict environmental standards, and excellent infrastructure. In addition, Europe has unmatched cultural diversity and great natural beauty. It all sounds like a utopian dream.

The Six Day War - A decisive moment in history (Israel - God’s Timepiece)
Those who call the Six Day War a disaster or a Pyrrhic victory are grossly mistaken, because they overlook the fact that Israel wasn’t destroyed, historian Michael Oren told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

In an interview on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the outbreak of war on June 5, 1967, Oren said his research of documents in Arab countries had revealed clearly that the Arabs had planned to destroy Israel.

Although this seems obvious to Israel sympathizers who hold to the traditional story of the Arabs’ responsibility for the outbreak of war, the intervening decades have seen the promulgation of a myth that Israel was not really in danger.

Does a Muslim have the right to leave Islam and follow Christ? - Not in Malaysia (The Rise Of Islam)
American Christian leaders called the recent ruling by Malaysia’s top civil court against a Christian convert seeking recognition a “set-back” that reveals the country’s “flawed” legal system.

“This verdict is obviously a set-back for religious freedom in Malaysia,” said Todd Nettleton, director of media development of Voice of the Martyrs USA, to The Christian Post on Wednesday.

“We had hoped that the courts would give the people of Malaysia the right to choose and change their religion according to the dictates of their conscience,” he added.

Lina Joy, 43, lost the court battle to change her religion from Islam to Christianity on Wednesday when the Federal Court ruled she should seek permission to officially change her religion from Islam to Christianity at Islamic Shariah courts.

Poll: 2 of 3 U.S. Muslim Converts Left Christian Roots (The Rise Of Islam)
Two-thirds (67 percent) of all converts to Islam in the United States came from a Protestant background, according to the first nationwide survey to measure the demographics, attitudes, and experiences of Muslim Americans.

Almost all conversions are native-born (91 percent) and almost three-fifths (59 percent) of converts to Islam are African American.
