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

Uganda: Muslim father burns his daughter and vows to kill her for becoming Christian

May 26, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

If the roles were reversed, this would be the focus of international news coverage, but you will only hear about this incident here. In any case, Sheikh Hussein Byaruhanga Husain is not an “extremist.” The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as […]

Ibn Warraq Pens Extraordinary New Study of Atheism in the Islamic World

May 14, 2020 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Among the many essential works of Ibn Warraq, the renowned ex-Muslim historian and scholar of Islam, is an unjustly overlooked book entitled Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out, in which he gives a voice to a group of people who are all too often threatened, marginalized, or simply ignored for being too inconvenient for all parties […]

Germany: Islamic State planned to murder ex-Muslim who questioned the teaching of the Qur’an

Apr 29, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Why did they care? Why does everyone except the Islamic State know that it has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam? No doubt Pope Francis is on his way to Germany now to explain to these earnest young migrants, whose entry into Germany he insists it would be un-Christian to oppose, that “authentic Islam […]

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 […]

Somalia: Influential academic in hiding after calls for his murder for alleged “blasphemy”

Mar 15, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. Newspapers all over the country refused to republish the notorious Muhammad cartoons out of a newfound “respect” for […]

Afghanistan: Sunni Muslims open fire at Shi’ite Muslim political rally, murdering 32 people

Mar 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“In a statement, IS said two brothers had targeted a ‘gathering of apostates’ with machine guns and grenades.” Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be apostates, and apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. Thus attacks like this one are going to happen, and anyone who calls attention to their root causes is “Islamophobic.” “Afghan gunmen […]

Iranians are Losing Their Islamic Religion

Feb 26, 2020 12:00 pm By Andrew Harrod

“Islam is dead,” the “mosques are empty,” and “no one follows Islam inside of Iran,” an unidentified Iranian church leader stated in the 2019 film Sheep Among Wolves Volume II. The film marks a widely observed trend in recent decades of Iranians abandoning the cruel theocratic faith of Iran’s 1979-established Islamic Republic for Christianity. “God […]

Pope embraces imam who has endorsed jihad suicide attacks against Jews and wants converts to Christianity killed

Nov 19, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Pope Francis and the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, early this year published “A Document On Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together,” and it’s as filled with falsehoods and wishful thinking as one would expect coming from a practiced deceiver such as el-Tayeb and someone so eager to be deceived as Pope […]

“Imprisoned Iranian pastor Yousef Nadarkhani has gone on a hunger strike to protest the regime’s attempt to bar his children from completing their education because they refuse to study Islam and read the Quran…..The policy requires all students to take a course on the Quran.” Nadarkhani’s suffering as an apostate highlights the lack of human […]

Islamic Republic of Iran sentences convert from Islam to prison for “acting against national security”

Aug 3, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

An interesting sidelight to this case is the fact that Islamic apologists in the West routinely try to downplay and dismiss Islam’s death penalty for apostasy by saying that in Muhammad’s time, when the Islamic community was one unit, and was a state as well as a religion, apostasy was tantamount to treason, but nowadays, […]
