Diwali is today. I wish all Hindu, Sikh, and Jain Jihad Watchers and their families a happy and prosperous Diwali.

India is one of the front-line states in the global jihad war, and has been for centuries, as I demonstrate in detail in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. All free people need to stand with India in defense of the civilizations we have built and the understandings of human rights that we have formulated and share. These principles are essentially universal outside the realm of Sharia, and are worth defending, lest darkness descend upon the world entire.

But the lights still shine against that darkness. Happy Diwali!
