In the Islamic republic of Mauritania where sharia is the law of the land and where black slaves are still being held by Arabs, Cleric Muhammad Al-Hassan Ould Al-Dadou Al-Shanqiti said to his TV interviewer on Al-Aqsa TV that “Muslims have a duty to strive to obtain nuclear weapons because there is a threat that […]
Mauritania: Parliament twice rejects laws stiffening penalties for violence against women
Why? Because such laws would be un-Islamic. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard […]
Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Anti-slavery activist arrested
Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery, and persecute anti-slavery activists? Because slavery is sanctioned in Islam.

Muslim cleric: “The Jews from all over the land will gather around the Antichrist…The Muslims will kill them”
Muhammad Al-Hassan Ould Al-Dadou Al-Shanqiti is not an “extremist.” This is just standard Islam. The hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as saying that Muslims would kill Jews and the Jews would hide behind trees and the trees would cry out is at Sahih Muslim 6985 and elsewhere. The idea that Jews are apes and […]
Islamic Republic of Mauritania: “Blasphemer” still in jail despite serving twice longer than his sentence
“The case, in the north-western city of Nouadhibou, divided Mauritania, the Islamic republic with many conservative muslims calling for his execution.” Indeed, and Mauritanian authorities could have put Cheikh Ould Mohamed Ould Mkheitir to death.

Mauritania makes death penalty for leaving Islam mandatory: “We want to be as close to the real Sharia as possible”
Islamic apologists in the West routinely insist that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, but as always, reality is otherwise. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among […]
Islamic Republic of Mauritania: “Blasphemer” still in jail despite serving twice longer than his sentence
This is a great injustice, but they could have put him to death. There is much support in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the death penalty for blasphemy.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania finally beginning to enforce its law against slavery
Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery? Because it’s Islamic.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania failing to tackle pervasive slavery
Where is the international outcry? Would caring for the slaves suffering today in Mauritania be “Islamophobic”? We constantly hear in the West that Islam forbids slavery, but reality is otherwise.

Defying international pressure, Islamic Republic of Mauritania refuses to free slaves
The Mauritanian agency that is supposed to be dealing with slavery is “run by the white Moor community there, and it focuses a lot on a poverty alleviation mandate and doesn’t really address the slavery issues.” Where is the international outcry? In the U.S., the Left is enraged over 100-year-old statues of slaveowners, but what […]
