Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

My Journey Out of Islam and Hate

Dec 2, 2020 12:00 pm By Silver Sabre 47 Comments

My journey in life is one of religious indoctrination, intellectual roller coasters and mental worldview conflict. It is an illustration of the dangers of subjective thinking. I grew up in a home that followed aspects of both secular and Islamic thought. This caused a lot of confusion in me as I observed my family switching […]

Uganda: Muslim relatives of a former sheikh who refused to renounce Christ kill his 6-year-old son

Nov 29, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

They were trying to kill Emmanuel Hamuzah, who converted from Islam to Christianity. In the melee, they killed his six-year-old son. They will think they are righteous in doing this because 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 […]

Pakistan: Surge in jihad murders of Ahmadis, who are deemed apostates

Nov 28, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

Most people in Pakistan, among other mainstream Muslims, do not view Ahmadis as Muslim at all. Only in India are they recognized as Muslims by law. In 1970, in a landmark ruling, an Indian court determined that Ahmadis cannot be declared apostates by other Muslim sects because they believe in the two fundamental beliefs of […]

Islamic Republic of Iran: Convert from Islam to Christianity gets 80 lashes for drinking communion wine

Nov 23, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

Zaman Fadaei could have been executed, as he is a convert from Islam, and 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 them allies until they emigrate for the […]

Iran: Court rules that converts to Christianity are ‘not fit’ parents, adopted child must be taken from them

Sep 29, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

Judge Muhammad Hassan Dashti said that Lydia faced an “uncertain future” and may spend “the rest of her life” in state care, but in the Islamic Republic of Iran, apparently that is preferable to the prospect of her being raised by Christians. “Christian converts’ adopted child to be removed from their care,” Article 18, September […]

Uganda: Muslim converts to Christianity, is beaten to death by his father and other relatives

Aug 30, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Those who beat Jalilu Kamutono to death aren’t “extremists.” Apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. This is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they […]

India: Muslims put up posters threatening to burn two Muslimas alive for performing Hindu ritual

Aug 24, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

As far as the Muslims who put up these posters are concerned, this is tantamount to apostasy, and apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. This is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they […]

‘We need more than ever to read the luminous and emancipatory work of Ibn Warraq’

Aug 19, 2020 7:30 am By Robert Spencer

Ibn Warraq, the pioneering and courageous ex-Muslim and peerless scholar of Islam, has published a new edition of his seminal work, Why I Am Not A Muslim. You can order it here. This is one of the most important works to have appeared in the last thirty years about jihad violence and Sharia oppression. It […]

Syria: Muslims demand Christian convert teacher turn over his school to them, arrest him for apostasy

Aug 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Mr Muhammad, who works as an English teacher and headmaster, refused the group’s orders to hand his school building over to them so they could turn it into an Islamic school.” That was an unconscionable display of effrontery from a man who, as far as the Muslims of Failaq al-Sham were concerned, should have submitted […]

Facebook bans page that shared videos of ex-Muslims discussing how they were persecuted for leaving Islam

Jul 31, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

As the US becomes increasingly totalitarian, only one point of view is allowed in the public square, and that point of view is warmly positive toward Islam, with no criticism allowed. Criticism of Islam is also banned in Sharia. “Facebook de-platforms page that shared videos of ex-Muslims talking about how they were persecuted after they […]

Ex-Muslim activist: ‘Islam targets all forms of critical thinking’

Jul 31, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Nacer Amari is a Tunisian ex-Muslim who is facing deportation from Denmark despite the fact that he faces almost certain death in a majority-Muslim country. See the interview with him here. Note that what Nacer Amari says in this article is the same thing that non-Muslim analysts, including me, have been saying for years. We […]

Morocco: ‘Penal code holds that all Moroccans are Muslims, so converts to Christianity face threats’

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 them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]

Sudan abolishes death penalty for apostasy, eases Sharia restrictions

Jul 17, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The transitional government in Sudan passed a series of amendments that repeal the death sentence for apostasy, public flogging and female genital mutilation, giving Christians hope for the future” following the toppling of the hardline Islamic regime of President Omar al-Bashir last year. In March, Sudan’s transitional government abolished Islamic committees that confiscated church properties; […]

Why I Left Islam

Jun 26, 2020 11:00 am By Mustafa Qadri

From a young age in mosque I was taught that Islam meant peace, and that Mohammed was a perfect, infallible man; during these times I read the Quran in Arabic, and had no idea what any of it meant, as I hadn’t read a translation. I just assumed that it was all peaceful, I was […]

UK: Muslim threatens to murder ex-Muslim and his family “live on TV, in front of everyone” for criticizing Islam

Jun 25, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Are British authorities going to protect Harris Sultan or ignore this for fear of offending Britain’s rapidly growing and restive Muslim community, which they seem intent on appeasing? What do you think? “Muslim ‘blogger’ threatens to murder ex-Muslim’s pet dog and slaughter him and his family live on TV for ‘criticizing Islam,’” OpIndia, June 20, […]

The Evils of Islamic Law: the Death Penalty for Apostasy

Jun 9, 2020 3:00 pm By Saleem Smith

Islamic Sharia law contains many inhumane legal verdicts related to the treatment of non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Without delving into the subtle differences that exist between the various schools of Sharia law, which is beyond the scope of this article, it should be noted that all of the inhumane legal pronouncements made in the Sharia […]

Jihading the Holocaust (Part 3)

May 27, 2020 1:00 pm By Anjuli Pandavar

So far, in examining the Muslim hijacking of the Holocaust for Jihad, we have introduced two related phenomena: Muslims pretending to commemorate the Holocaust along with Jews, and non-Muslims duped by such deceit (both in the Knesset and in the “interfaith” world), especially around commemoration events such as the liberation of the Nazi death camp […]
