INTRODUCTION Across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Central Asia, Christianity once flourished centuries before Islam emerged in the 7th century. Many regions that are today Muslim-majority were originally dominated by Christian populations, churches, monasteries, and theological centers that shaped early Christian doctrine. Over time, political change, military conquest, economic systems, social pressure, migration, and historical conflicts transformed the religious demographics of these regions.

U.S. DEPLOYS ADVANCED TYPHON MISSILE SYSTEM TO JAPAN, SHAPING INDO-PACIFIC SECURITY In a strategic move set to redefine regional security, the United States has deployed its cutting-edge Typhon surface-to-surface missile system to Japan for the first time. The system is now stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, marking a milestone in the U.S.–Japan defense partnership and underscoring Washington’s commitment to stability in the Indo-Pacific. The Typhon system, capable of launching both Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) interceptors and Tomahawk cruise missiles, provides a versatile long-range strike capability. With this deployment, the U.S. can project power across a wide radius, covering potential hotspots involving China, Russia, and North Korea. This not only enhances deterrence but also signals Washington’s readiness to counter growing military challenges in the region. The timing of the deployment coincides with Resolute Dragon 2025, a joint U.S.–Japan mi...
