Accused of blasphemy for doing so, she was arrested and has been held on death row for the past 10 years. Her case is with the... Read more

Markovich writes, “As these refugees... Read more

Looking for more information, I found another even more disturbing article on Christian Today describing the systematic raping of young Yazidi women. Families are forced to... Read more
