I am Michael Jones, and I run Inspiring Philosophy Ministries. My family is being targeted by Islamic extremists. My family has been threatened with r*pe and violence. They are currently looking for my home address to target us. I need your help to move to a new home where we will be safe.
FULL STORY
I never expected to ask people to help my family buy a home. I am asking now because people who are angry because of my apologetics work, have threatened my wife, put my personal information online, and tried to find where we live.
One of them told me, “Your front door is next.”
They have shared my phone number, shared an address they claimed was mine, tried to locate my actual home, threatened physical violence, and made threats of sexual violence against my wife.
My wife and I are expecting our second child soon. After seeking safety guidance, we concluded that relocating is the responsible thing to do at this time.
Inspiring Philosophy reaches hundreds of thousands of people each week, and millions monthly. I have used more of that reach to answer Islamic apologetics because many Christians are encountering their arguments online and few channels with IP's reach are able to engage them consistently.
I have made videos, debated top Muslim apologists, and hosted livestreams and live call-in shows about the differences between Christianity and Islam.
This work has been effective. I go to the sources, examine the claims, expose the contradictions, and dismantle the arguments in front of large audiences. Muslims have come onto the live shows questioning what they have been taught because they are hearing those arguments answered directly.
That effectiveness is part of why the hostility has become so intense.
People are free to disagree with me and argue back. In fact, we welcome it. That is how this should work. But threatening my wife and trying to find my home are not arguments.
The video on this page documents what has happened in more detail.
We need to move to a home that offers our family additional security. For obvious reasons, we will not share its location, photographs, or identifying details.
Running Inspiring Philosophy is my full-time job. I take a modest salary that covers our ordinary living expenses, but it does not give us the ability to absorb an unexpected move like this.
Our goal is to raise $100,000. That goal is meant to cover only the massive added cost created by this security move.
I am going to keep spreading the gospel and answering Islamic apologetics. I also need to put my family somewhere safer while I do it.
If you can help us make that move, please give through this page. If you cannot give, please share the fundraiser with someone who knows the work of Inspiring Philosophy.
Thank you for helping us make this move and helping me keep my family safe.
