Da Vinci Code
One netfriend wrote: The Da Vinci Code book and movie are a direct attack on Our Lord Jesus The Christ. These enemies of the Christian faith use Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper as proof that Jesus was not God, that he married Mary Magdalene, and had a child with her. Another: How would […]

Badging Infidels in Iran
Andrew Bostom again has produced an impressive piece of original research! Whilst Shi’ites and Sunnis share most of the same strategies in their treatment of dhimmis – after all, Sura 9:29 is in the Qur’an of both Shi’ites and Sunnis – Shi’ite oppression of dhimmis includes a unique element: the doctrine of najis, or ritual […]

I have a high regard for Mark, and have several of his articles on our website (see eg. http://jmm.org.au/articles/15959.htm , http://jmm.org.au/articles/16222.htm , http://jmm.org.au/articles/10294.htm ).
