U.S. President Donald Trump said he raised the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election during a summit meeting Monday in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But, speaking at a joint news conference with Putin following their meeting, he declined to condemn Russia publicly. Putin denied any Russian interference and dismissed as “sheer nonsense” claims that Russia had tried to collect dirt on Trump.

The reason ISIS behaves so irrationally can be traced to a ninth-century theological dispute in Sunni Islam, according to Robert Reilly, director of the Westminster Institute and author of The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamic Crisis.

If revelation—the Quran—appeared to conflict with reason, revelation must be reinterpreted or discarded.

CAMBODIA—Radha Manickam decided to commit suicide one night in 1978 by singing, “This World Is Not My Home.” He was lying atop a termite hill in a rice field in northwestern Cambodia. After three years under the brutal regime of the communist Khmer Rouge, he weighed 90 pounds. It was raining.

Manickam, a Christian, began singing in English: “The angels beckon me / From heaven’s open door / And I can’t feel at home / In this world anymore.”

The day after Palm Sunday, on the outskirts of the city of Sialkot in Pakistan, 7-year-old Sara Masih, the daughter of a poor Christian family, headed to a corner store a few blocks from her home to buy some chips and chocolate. Sara is the darling of her church’s children’s ministry, according to a family friend, “just a little angel.”

On her way out, a young man stopped her and at first offered her gifts to come with him, but then grabbed her and hustled her to an abandoned apartment building nearby. Three other men went in with him.
