World War I was a violent worldwide conflict and with the signing of the peace treaty at Versailles on 28 June 1919, many other portentous events were set in motion, especially in the Middle East. The end of the war witnessed the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. This sprawling entity had controlled the Middle East since the early years of the 16th century. With its demise the Levant came under the control of the victorious Allies in 1918. By mandate from the League of Nations, France took control of Syria and Lebanon, and Great Britain of Palestine and Jordan.

The early Islamic Futuhat resulted in the disappearance of the Christian Church in North Africa. That tragedy took place in a part of the world that, prior to the rise of Islam, had a strong Christian presence. One of the greatest North African Christians was Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430). It was his legacy that contributed to the rise of the Protestant Reformation.
Early in January, 2009, I read on the online daily aafaq, a report datelined Algiers that dealt with a growing number of young Algerians turning away from Islam, and embracing the Christian faith.
Faithfreedom.org echoes the voice of ex-Muslims who want to stop the spread of Islam, expose its violent nature, and help Muslims to understand it and leave it. We believe in the oneness of humanity and oppose Islam for inciting hatred against non Muslims. Muhammad instructed his follower to conquer the world by the sword and to rule it with terror. We are determined to not let that happen.
