“This novel sheds light on one of
the most overlooked foreign policy catastrophes of our times --
the flight of Iraq’s ancient Christian community under siege from al
Qaeda and other extremists. Despite a massive US presence in
Iraq, America’s leaders have proposed no specific policies to
help these defenseless minorities. The forcible de-Christianization of
this pivotal country affects us all. Without the experience of
living alongside Christians and other non-Muslims at home, what would
prepare Iraqis to peacefully coexist with the West? Ken Timmerman’s riveting tale is a
story in urgent need of telling.”

Oct. 19, 2011: Iranian
regime plays chess, we play checkers. The latest regime
ploy is a pitiful attempt to pin the Washington terror plot on the
MEK... At the Daily Caller.
Oct. 13, 2011: Iran's
Terror Plot: If Only They Had Picked the Right Mexican... I
was skeptical at first, especially when Eric Holder fronted for the USG
investigation into the Iranian terror plot and cut off questions from
reporters as soon as he was asked about Fast and Furious. But read the
four reasons why the evidence convinced me it was real.This is my debut
article at Tucker Carlson's news conservative website, Daily Caller,
Oct. 12, 2011: Woefully
Unprepared for an EMP attack. I report this week on a
series of table-top exercises to simulate a major geomagnetic solar
event or nuclear EMP attack and our ability to respond to the ensuing
shut down of the national power grid.... The answers are in: “Keep some
money in the sock draw,” said the head of Maryland’s Emergency
Management Agency...
Here is the real tragedy: the answers to our vulnerability to EMP are
cheap, easy, and quick to implement – but folks like NDU's Dr.
Alenka Brown and some in the power industry don’t want Congress to act.
You don’t hear me often talking about specific legislation, but here is
an exception: Please call
your members of Congress to get them behind H.R. 668, the SHIELD
Act.
Oct. 5, 2011: Join me at the National Cryptologic

Oct. 4, 2011:An
EMP Attack on America? The threat of an EMP attack on
America – or a major geomagnetic event such as a solar flare – would
have a devastating impact on our country. Some analysts have invented a
new acronym to describe it: TEOTWAWKI – The End of the World As We Know
It. In today’s Frontpage magazine, I describe Iran’s work to
develop an EMP weapon, and a series of table-top wargaming exercises
being held this week in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Florida.e

plot.
Sept. 27, 2011: Grover
Norquist's New Muslim Protegé. What’s wrong with
Muslims running for public office or assuming prominent positions in
the conservative movement? Nothing at all – as long as they are clear
about the primacy of the U.S. Constitution over Koranic (or Sharia) law. Where does Imad Afif “David” Ramadan stand
on this crucial question? The answer is – well, unclear.
Sept. 23, 2011: Join me at the Harvard Club in New York City
along with Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, BG Ken Chrosniak, Lt.Col. Tony

July 28, 2011: Iran,
Turkey Escalate Battle Against Iranian Kurds. Iran called on
NATO member Turkey on Tuesday to help battle dissident Kurds in the
rugged mountains along the northern border between Iran and Iraq. You
would think this would upset Turkey's NATO allies - but you'd be wrong.
July 19, 2011:
Iran Attacks Kurdish Bases in Iraq.
Iran’s invasion of Iraq over the weekend has
gotten very little media coverage, but it is important – and curious.
Curious because the US, Iraq, and the KRG have remained almost silent.
Does that mean they are complicit? Or just impotent? As my story
reports, Iran has been putting intense pressure on the KRG to crack
down on the PJAK camps along the border for some time. Both the
KRG and the Iraqi Prime Minister left Iraq just hours before the
invasion began.... (PDF)

REPORTING FROM NORTHERN IRAQ:
March 2, 2011: Iraqi Christians to Congress: Please Help! The
near extermination of Iraqi Christians has been an unintended
consequence of the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq in 2003. There is still
time - but not much - to make it right. The creation of an autonomous
province in the Nineveh Plain, free of Kurdish domination, is the last
best hope for preventing the mass exodus of the remaining Christians
from Iraq, Ken argues in today's
Washington
Times.
March 1, 2011: Were Iraqi Security Forces Involved in Baghdad Church
Massacre? My investigation in northern Iraq has discovered
troubling new information suggesting dangerous liaisons between

Protests in Iraq Turn Violent. I was sitting with Prime
Minister Barham Salih of the KRG when word of violent demonstrations in
Sulimaniyeh first reached him. The government has set up an inquest to
discover who started the shooting - KDP security, or agents
provacateurs disseminated amonst the protesters.

Christians Living in Fear. I was attending the
final day of the 3-day Rogation of the Ninevites ceremony in Mosul and

of Christians in Iraq to apostasy proceedings in Afghanistan and the

Jan. 11, 2011: Biden Faces
Challenge in Pakistan (Ken Timmerman, Newsmax.com):
....The radicalization of Pakistan became clear on Jan. 4, when a
bodyguard
protecting Punjab state Gov. Salman Taseer opened fire on his boss,
shooting him 20 times in the back as other members of the security
detail looked on.
Since the murder, the bodyguard has become something of a national
hero, telling the press that he assassinated Taseer because he had
campaigned against Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy law, which condemns to
death anyone who leaves Islam to adopt another religion.
“The anti-blasphemy law is the main cause of violence against
Christians,” says Dr. Nazir Bhatti, a Pakistani Christian activist in
the United States.

Jan. 8, 2011: Islamabad
(AsiaNews) – Pakistani intelligence says an extremist Islamist
group has called on followers to murder Christian convert Asia Bibi in
Sheikhupura Prison, where she is awaiting execution under
Pakistan's blasphemy laws. Read

In a tragic irony, Punjab's Christian population, which today labors
under daily persecution, helped sway the predominantly Sikh state to
join Pakistan when British India declared independence, thinking they
would enjoy greater freedom under Muslim rule, says Pakistani activist Nazir Bhatti. Mr. Bhatti appeared
with Ken at a Dec. 16, 2010 conference on Capitol Hill to commemorate
international human rights day. For
video from the conference, go here.
Jan. 7, 2011: Another day of fear and persecution - Christmas
Day is not
celebrated until Jan. 7 in Egypt by Coptic and other Christian
denominations. About 130 Christians, including children, will probably
remain imprisoned Jan. 7, nearly two months after they were arrested
when 2,000 members of the state security forces attacked their church
building. Several people were killed during that attack in which police
chanted Islamic war cries and tried to tear down the three-story
building that was under reconstruction. The object of the attack was to
prevent the building from being used for Christmas services. Read

Jan. 3, 2011 -- On
Monday, several armed men broke into a
woman's home in Baghdad, opening fire and killing her on the spot and
then vanishing with her belongings. The news was reported by an
official of the Ministry of the Interior. The woman, whose name was
Rafah Toma and lived alone in the Al-Wahda suburb, is the latest victim
of a wave of attacks against Christians in Iraq.
