The mullahs know that the severe threat to their regime that Donald Trump posed will soon be over. The Iranian nuclear deal that enables Iran’s nuclear program and opens the door for it to receive billions from a thoughtless, imprudent, and willfully ignorant West will soon be back on. So now is the time to […]
Islamic Republic of Iran regularly imprisons, tortures, kills religious minorities
While Iran points the finger at the U.S. for injustice. “State Department: Iran Imprisoning, Torturing, Killing Religious Minorities,” by Penny Starr, Breitbart, June 13, 2020: Non-Muslims in Iran suffer persecution at the hands of the government, including imprisonment, torture, and execution, according to the U.S. State Department’s 2019 Report on International Religious Freedom. The State Department […]
Yemen: Amid coronavirus crisis, Islamic court sentences Baha’i to death for being Baha’i
“The Baha’i faith was founded in the 19th century by an Iranian, the Baha’u’llah. Believers consider him a prophet, a sharp contrast with the orthodox Islamic view that Mohammed was God’s final messenger.” The mainstream Islamic view is that Muhammad was the last prophet, an idea that is based on this Qur’an verse: “Muhammad is […]
Humanness Trumps Muslimness
There is no question in my mind that Islam is religious fascism. Both the beliefs and practices of Islam amply prove my assertion. To start with, see what their invocation of their god is: Allahu akbar (“Allah is the greater,” and not “God is great,” as it is marketed in English). Then there is a […]
Yemen: Bahai sentenced to death for “insulting Islam” and “apostasy”
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 […]
Iran: Muslims kill Baha’i, say Qur’an sanctions killing “apostates”
“The suspects have confessed that they killed Amiri because he was an ‘apostate,’ and they wanted to go to heaven. They said the Quran has sanctioned killing apostates, and that’s what they did.” Amiri was not an apostate from Islam, unless the killers think all Baha’is are apostates from Islam, but the death penalty for […]
Egypt: Salafists intend to prosecute Baha’is for “treason”
Baha’is’ very existence may soon be illegal in Egypt, under Islamic law. By contrast, the country that has allowed Baha’is to worship freely and maintain their headquarters in peace and security is none other than Israel. If the jihadists ever get their way regarding Israel, that will not continue. “Egypt’s Baha”is face more attacks from […]
Iran: Surprise! Your dearly departed relative was a Muslim, because we said so
Too late for a deathbed conversion? No problem! Islamic supremacists are standing by to “help!” As bizarre as this case seems, we have seen similar ones in Turkey and Malaysia. Two apparent motives in this case are the desire to deny the existence of the Baha’i movement in Iran at all, as well as to […]
Iran: 16 disappear in latest roundup of Baha’is
This year has seen redoubled efforts in Iran at terrorizing the Baha’i out of existence. In January, a wave of firebombings was accompanied by warnings not to propagate the Baha’i faith (even on the Internet), or hire or make friends with Muslims. The regime could perhaps claim plausible deniability for that campaign, but is now […]
Iran arrests Bahais for proselytizing
Will the Muslim spokesmen in the West who insist on pain of charges of “Islamophobia” that we all must believe that Islam is tolerant condemn this action by the Islamic Republic? I didn’t think so. Islamic Tolerance Alert from the Islamic Republic of Iran: “Iran arrests Bahai followers for proselytising faith,” from Reuters, March 15 […]
Iran: Islamic supremacists firebomb Baha’i businesses, demand that Baha’is not befriend Muslims or teach their faith — or else
If the Baha’is comply with the Muslim demands, the Muslims “guarantee not to wage any attack on your life and properties.” This is echoing Muhammad: “I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the […]
Iran: Baha’is threatened, accused of supporting Israel and the U.S., offered dhimmi status
The Baha’i faith has its headquarters in Haifa, Israel. Its presence there, established after its followers were persecuted in Iran and other Muslim lands for heresy, predates the State of Israel by decades (worth noting: whose tolerance has allowed a flourishing Baha’i presence since 1948, and whose “tolerance” has not?), but that certainly won’t stop […]
Persecution of Baha’is continues in Iran
“They say they have noticed an increase in the persecution of Bahais since the election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.” Funny how that keeps happening: the increasing Islamization of government and society is accompanied by visibly and violently decreasing levels of religious tolerance. “Iran’s Bahai community fear rise in persecution,” from BBC News, July 2: First […]
“Iran’s security forces have arrested five members of the outlawed Baha’i faith in Tehran”
Islamic Tolerance Alert from the Islamic Republic. Watch for CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper, Honest Ibe himself, to dash off a CAIR Action Alert about how the Islamic Republic is Misunderstanding Islam, and calling for the release of these Baha’is. It’s coming right up, isn’t it, Honest Ibe? “Five Baha’i followers arrested in Iran,” from Reuters, February […]
