On August 8th, nineteen years ago, a journey of historical and technological discovery began with the raising of the Hunley. The pioneering submarine had been lost at sea for over a century. Since being recovered and delivered to a high-tech lab designed for excavation and preservation, scientists have been in the process of unlocking her secrets and trying to learn why she mysteriously vanished in 1864.

The Freedom Center is pleased to release Robert Spencer’s new booklet: “The History of Muslim Persecution of Christians”

Description:

One can read, almost daily, of the atrocities and persecution of the ancient Christian communities in the Middle East and beyond at the hands of jihadists. This is not, as some try to claim, just a modern-day phenomenon. Indeed, the Muslim persecution of Christians goes all the way back to the time of Muhammad. Following Muhammad’s death, Palestine, Syria and Egypt, once the most heavily populated Christian areas in the world, quickly succumbed to Islamic invasions, and by the eighth century, Muslim armies had conquered all of Christian North Africa and Spain. The David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Robert Spencer has just written a ground breaking new booklet, “The History of Muslim Persecution of Christians” that the Center has published. This incredible and timely booklet chronicles the history of persecution over the past 1,400 years.
