NOTE: The following sources provide information or in some form or fashion focus on issues that are related to our mission, but this is not necessarily an endorsement of them all. We do not believe in coddling or sheltering our readership from facts to conform to the ever-increasing effort by Islamic and leftist groups to impose sharia-compliant blasphemy laws on the public, which harms and disarms it from understanding and preparing for genuine threats. When dealing with the topic of Islam (or any other for that matter), we will not insult your intelligence. We take a hardline, no-holds-barred approach and do not self-censor and sanitize the prevailing issues at hand. With this in mind, we do not necessarily agree with the way in which the topic is addressed and couched by some of the following. Each, however, provides valuable information, but we encourage our readers to be critical and self-discerning.
