Iranian Kurdistan: Muslim brothers behead their sister in honor killing over her romantic relationship

Dec 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 2 Comments

This incident is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an. A mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So […]

Finland: Muslim migrant says he’s proud of trying to honor-murder ex-wife, ‘women have too many rights in Finland’

Oct 16, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Here is yet another example of a Muslim migrant bringing his cultural attitudes and assumptions, which are rooted in Islam’s teachings about women and their status and rights, to his new home in the West. No attempt is made in Finland or anywhere else to encourage migrant assimilation. Consequently, the atomization and balkanization of Finnish […]

India: Muslims murder Hindu man for having love affair with their sister

Oct 11, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. “And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he […]

Germany: Muslim migrant family charged with plotting to murder daughter because of her Western lifestyle

Sep 27, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger! This incident is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an. A mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack.

Jordan: Family of ex-Muslim lesbian threatens to kill her

Sep 23, 2020 3:30 pm By Robert Spencer 15 Comments

This message was passed on to me by a Jihad Watch reader. This woman appears to be in urgent need of help, if she is even still alive, but the very authorities who should be protecting her are apparently abetting those who would take her life. This is Sharia and the rights of women in […]

Syria: Brother of Women’s Protection Units fighter murders her because she ‘brought shame and dishonor upon family’

Sep 20, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

An indelible detail leaps out from this report: “In the region, there is a history of men being accused of killing women or girls perceived to have brought shame to a family or tribe being given token sentences, or in other cases, escaping justice entirely.” Now, why is that? Her brother said he killed her […]

Denmark: Muslim migrant slits throat of mother of his five children, hits her with sledgehammer, claims victimhood

Sep 17, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

Mirsad Kasum “drew a picture of himself as a victim. A poor man who was violently harassed for years by his partner – and after she moved away from him three years ago, also in the years that followed.” Also he thought she “had many men and generally behaved scandalously.” He asked: “Why should my […]

Honor killing in Iraqi Kurdistan: Muslim murders his two daughters, hides bodies

Sep 15, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 30 Comments

“Violence against women is common in Iraqi Kurdistan, despite government promises to prevent it.” Why is that? A culture of violence, the foundational text of which commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), is going to give rise to this sort of thing. In the Qur’an also is the strange […]

Islamic Republic of Iran: Father gets nine-year sentence for murdering his 14-year-old daughter in honor killing

Sep 1, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

She eloped with a man. He disapproved. So she had to die. But the father knew he would get off lightly: “Reza Ashrafi sought legal advice before he killed his daughter, and knew that his maximum sentence could only be ten years in prison.” Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority […]

Texas: Muslim who murdered his daughters for dating non-Muslims didn’t want to raise ‘whores as daughters’

Sep 1, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Patricia Said, the wife of the murder Yaser Abdel Said, is the source of this information. As I noted here, this is a woman who admitted in 2008 — after her husband had killed their two daughters — that her husband had threatened to kill one of her daughters for dating a non-Muslim. Then, after […]

Texas: Muslim Who Honor-Murdered His Two Daughters is Finally Caught, and the Denial Begins

Aug 30, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: Yaser Said, who brutally murdered his two teenage daughters in Texas on New Year’s Day 2008 in an apparent honor killing, has finally been caught after being on the run for twelve years. This horrifying case points up the reality that honor murder can happen even in Western countries. But […]

Texas: Son of Muslim who murdered daughters denies it was honor killing, says ‘Religion has nothing to do with it’

Aug 27, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Islam Said, a son of Yaser Said, who murdered Islam’s two sisters Amina and Sarah on January 1, 2008, denies that the killings were honor murders or had anything to do with Islam. “It’s something else. Religion has nothing to do with it.” Yet Islam Said has now been arrested in Texas along with his […]

Pakistan: Muslim brothers beat their sister to death with sticks for going to neighbor’s house without permission

Aug 24, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is Sharia. What is said here of the husband applies also to the male guardians of a woman who is unmarried: “The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home…because of the hadith related by Bayhaqi that the Prophet…said, ‘It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last […]

Iran: Islamic regime pressures psychologists to stop talking publicly about violence against women

Jun 27, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Three honor killings in less than a month have upset many Iranians, who have taken to social media to express their outrage over the treatment of women under Iran’s Islamic laws. Many Iranians are “blaming the Islamic government for policies of light punishment for the guilty perpetrators.” In response, the regime has gone into full […]

Iran: Muslim hunts down and beheads his 19-year-old bride after she fled two days into their forced marriage

Jun 16, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It is noteworthy that “according to Iranian law,” which is based on Islamic law, “a man can kill his wife without punishment if he catches her with another man.” And also that “the victims’ family does not normally demand the punishment of the murderer.” That, too, is in accord with Islamic law. According to Islamic […]

Iran: Muslim cleric says father who beheaded daughter can’t be executed “because it’s against Islamic law”

Jun 9, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Mousa Ghazanfarabadi is not an “Islamophobe.” He is a Muslim cleric, a man who has dedicated his life to studying Islam and understanding it properly. Given the sanction honor killing has in Islamic law, it’s not all that surprising. According to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally […]
