Islamic supremacists “dug out Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam” for a tweet from 2017. He merely criticized the broadcast of the adhan (the Islamic call to prayer) over loudspeakers. He didn’t criticize the adhan itself, just the volume; and for that, woe be unto him even today. Two teens reportedly were stabbed for supporting his tweet […]
UAE: Non-Muslim fired, faces prison for insulting Islam on social media
Where is Stuart Harrison from? From his name, he doesn’t appear to be a UAE native. He may be a convert to Islam, but is unlikely to have been born into a Muslim family and named “Stuart.” But note how eagerly he is complying with Sharia blasphemy provisions: “Harrison said they are trying to find […]
Dubai: Three men detained, fined $136,000 each for insulting Islam on Instagram and Facebook
A glimpse into the future of the West. Right now, insulting Islam will only get you deplatformed, vilified, and suspended from your job.

Woman given complimentary glass of wine on Emirates flight, then arrested in Dubai for drinking it
“Radha Stirling, Detained in Dubai’s chief executive, said it is ‘wholly illegal for any tourist to have any level of alcohol in their blood, even if consumed in flight and provided by Dubai’s own airline.’” That sounds like a Sharia trap just waiting to be sprung. “Mom detained in Dubai after drinking complimentary glass of […]
Dubai: Famous Indian chef gets sacked over “Islamophobic” tweet
UAE residents began “calling for the sacking of a Michelin-star chef in Dubai for his ‘anti-Islam tweet’”. His offensive words during a heated Twitter exchange were these: “It’s sad to see that you have not respected the sentiments of Hindus who have been terrorized by Islam over 2000 years. Shame on You.” He deleted the […]
Dubai to open ‘Quran Park’ showcasing miracles of Islam
What fun this will be! I look forward to visiting the Apes and Pigs Pavilion, where Allah transforms disobedient Jews into those despised animals: “And well you know there were those among you [Jews] that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!’” (Qur’an 2:65). “Say: ‘People of the Book, […]
Abu Dhabi: Muslims won’t play Israeli anthem or show flag as Israeli judoka wins gold, so he sings “Hatikvah” on podium
Israeli judoka Tal Flicker scaled the top of the podium and received his gold medal on Thursday, but the Israel national anthem was not played and the blue-and-white flag was not raised in Abu Dhabi. Another case of the racism and Islamic anti-Semitism that is ubiquitous; only this one is high profile, on the global […]
Dubai man jailed for insulting Islam on Facebook loses appeal
In the enlightened West, people aren’t arrested or jailed for criticizing Muhammad. They’re just excoriated as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people, and concerted efforts are made to deny them access to all means of communication. Everyone the world over agrees that Muhammad, alone of all human beings, must never be criticized. […]
Dubai: Man on trial for insulting Islam on Facebook
Dubai has a reputation of being modern and moderate, but it still enforces Sharia when it comes to matters such as women being raped (per Sharia, it’s their fault) and insulting Islam on Facebook. What is odd is that people were able to see this man’s Facebook posts at all, given the fact that Facebook […]
Dubai’s Head of Security: “We completely support Trump in ban on entry to those who may cause breach in America’s security”
Who would have thought that Dubai’s Head of Security could be such a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”? “Dubai’s Head of Security supports Trump’s ‘Muslim ban,’” AlBawaba, January 29, 2017 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): America’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries may be stirring anger across the West, but in the Arab world the move has […]
Dubai: Tourist from UK gang-raped, now faces jail for extramarital sex
“Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce not witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.” — Qur’an 24:13 Because of the Qur’an-derived stipulation that sexual crimes can only be established by the testimony of four male Muslim witnesses, along with the Sharia provision that women’s testimony is not admissible […]
Dubai law firm offers job to Obama so he can learn more about tolerance of Islam
Eisa Bin Haidar clearly doesn’t know his man. He says: “A faction of the American and western media has constantly profiled Islam as a religion of terror and categorised Muslims as terrorists. Well that is absolutely not true. Islam is a religion of tolerance, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance … it is not a religion of […]
Dubai: Muslim let daughter drown rather than have strange men touch her
The death of his daughter was preferable to violating Sharia restrictions. He assumed that Allah, “the compassionate, the merciful,” would be happier with him if he let his daughter die rather than bring dishonor on his family. This is an assumption deeply ingrained by the intransigence and preoccupation with hellfire and judgment that permeate the […]
Moderate Dubai court jails man for insulting Islam on Facebook
They must be moderates, for if they were “extremists,” they would have sentenced him to beheading. In any case, this same “moderation” is coming to the U.S., as authorities of all sorts counsel submission to those who proclaim that they will kill us for what they perceive as insults to Islam. Those authorities mask their […]

Dubai: British visitor jailed for drinking during Ramadan
This British man sounds like a drunk, obnoxious creep, but in any case his obnoxiousness doesn’t justify his arrest and jailing for violating Sharia prohibitions. If he had been arrested for damaging the cab, that would have been fine. But instead, the arrestable offense seems to have been that he was drinking during Ramadan, a […]
Spurning Infidel pleas and quoting Qur’an, Dubai Mufti reasserts fatwa forbidding one-way trip to Mars
Mars One pleaded for this fatwa to be lifted. They really, really, wanted Muslims on their mission to Mars, as they have a taste for dealing with imagined insults, fabricated grievances, feigned and manipulative outrage, arrogant contempt for outsiders, and supremacist threats. But Dubai’s Grand Mufti is standing firm: Mars One is just going to […]
UAE: Rape victim arrested for sex outside marriage when she reported, and told she had to marry rapist
This is a result of Muhammad’s exoneration of his favorite wife, Aisha, who was suspected of adultery. Allah gave him a revelation requiring four male witnesses to establish such a crime: “And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony – They […]
