Afghanistan: 6-year-old girl beheaded — “We are not sure if she was beheaded by her family or the Taliban”

Aug 31, 2012 7:55 am By Robert Spencer

The Taliban might have beheaded her as a warning of what happens to those who work with the Afghan government, although this story doesn’t say whether or not her family members actually did work with the government — it only notes that about the other child who was beheaded in Afghanistan. But anyway, why might […]

Honor killing in Pakistan: Muslim arrested for murdering his mother and four sisters because he suspected them of “having illicit relations with some men in the neighborhood”

Aug 31, 2012 6:33 am By Robert Spencer

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]

UK: Pharmacist who made sexual remarks to female colleagues let off because of his “restrictive Muslim background”

Aug 31, 2012 6:17 am By Robert Spencer

Now wait a minute. Islamic supremacists, as well as their media enablers, constantly tell us that Muslims are outraged by Western immodesty and licentiousness, whereas they are all-holy, pure, spotless, and above all that. And so how is it that Khalil Jamil’s behavior doesn’t constitute sexual harassment just because he came from a “restrictive Muslim […]

Arizona Congressional candidate caught in uproar for noting that Islamic jihadis want to enter the U.S. to harm Americans

Aug 31, 2012 5:56 am By Robert Spencer

Obviously Mercer meant those Middle Easterners who enter the country illegally from Mexico, not all Middle Easterners who come to the United States. And so the uproar is clearly a cynical orchestrated hit for political purposes, like virtually all of the shock and outrage that the Left generates for supposed “gaffes” by figures on the […]

Tunisia: Journalists accuse Islamic supremacist rulers of clampdown on press freedom

Aug 31, 2012 5:38 am By Robert Spencer

Oddly enough, the same thing is happening in glorious democratic “Arab Spring” Egypt. You’d almost think it had something to do with Sharia’s restrictions on the freedom of speech. Naaah — couldn’t be. Everybody knows that democracy and pluralism are dawning in these marvelous “Arab Spring” countries! Meanwhile, when pro-jihad “journalists” such as Christiane Amanpour, […]

Robert Spencer: Muslims in Saudi Arabia Call for Monitoring Mosques

Aug 31, 2012 12:34 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage this morning I discuss a common-sense call for monitoring mosques that has gone out not in the United States, of course, but in, of all places, Saudi Arabia: It’s happened again: venomous Islamophobes have called for the monitoring of mosques. That’s right: racist bigots, seething with unaccountable hatred for their fellow citizens who […]

Tennessee: Muslim sues security company for making him remove his kufi before entering Juvenile Justice Center, demands $300,000 damages

Aug 31, 2012 12:27 am By Robert Spencer

Whenever Islamic law and practice conflict with American law and practice, it is the latter that must give way, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia.” Never mind that caps can conceal more than the top of one’s head, and that the rule applied to everyone, no matter what kind of head covering he or she […]

Tajikistan: Islamic Renaissance Party accused of involvement in jihad terrorism

Aug 31, 2012 12:19 am By Robert Spencer

An entire Islamic party full of Misunderstanders of Islam — how on earth do these things keep happening? Behold the glorious complexity of Islam! So incredibly difficult are its peaceful teachings to grasp, that some of its most dedicated and devout adherents keep misunderstanding them and getting the crazy idea that Islam has something to […]

Fort Hood jihad mass murderer: “In the name of almighty Allah, I am a Muslim. I believe my religion requires me to wear a beard.”

Aug 30, 2012 4:13 pm By Robert Spencer

The notorious beard: as much an expression of his beliefs as his murders He also believes his religion requires him to murder infidels, and he did so at Fort Hood. Now he is asking the military to make special accommodation for the very same belief system that led him to commit mass murder. “Fort Hood […]

An invitation to Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper

Aug 30, 2012 8:59 am By Robert Spencer

Thinking about this story this morning, I sent Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper this email. I will let you know if I hear from him! Dear Mr. Hooper I read with great interest CAIR-California’s call to reject the UC anti-Semitism resolution on the grounds that it would interfere with “robust political debate.” I must say that […]

Pakistan: Muslims shave hair and eyebrows of woman accused of adultery, and parade her in the streets

Aug 30, 2012 8:41 am By Robert Spencer

They didn’t stone her to death, as per Islamic law. They must be “moderates.” “Men shave off woman’s hair, parade her in streets,” from PTI, August 28 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Lahore: Five men allegedly shaved off the hair and eyebrows of a young woman and paraded her in the streets of a […]

Sharia in action in modern, moderate Malaysia: Publisher of banned book on reform in Islam to be hauled before Sharia court

Aug 30, 2012 8:25 am By Robert Spencer

Irshad Manji’s expansive and broad-minded Islam is her own creation, with no basis in Islamic tradition. Hugh Fitzgerald said it back in 2008: “Irshad Manji has certainly created her own private Islam. She is the child of Asian refugees from Uganda. She has never lived in a Muslim society. She has always enjoyed the freedoms […]
