Christian Apologetics

Defending Christianity as both true and rational

"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense [Greek is apologia] to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Pet 3:15)

This won’t be the last attempt

A.S. Ibrahim calls it out here in his editorial on the attempted jihadist takeover/crash of FlyDubai Flight FZ1073.

“This is what Islam, in its jihadist form, does best. It takes grievances and understandable anger at war and turns them into theological duty: a license to murder civilians, grounded in an ideological claim that Muslims are superior to, and more valuable than, non-Muslims. It is a poisonous ideology, and it has to be named and opposed . . . We shouldn’t be naive. Expect similar attempts, some sophisticated and some crude, with Americans in the crosshairs too. Those fanciful dreamers who insist ideology is irrelevant will keep being surprised. There is now no excuse for being surprised. This is the world we now live in, and the free world had better understand what we are up against.“
