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

“We hold these truths to be self-evident” — not self-enforcing

Jul 4, 2014 9:54 am By Robert Spencer

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. […]

US says Brunei Sharia violates international norms

May 16, 2014 9:29 am By Robert Spencer

Now wait a minute. The Sharia that Brunei is implementing, including “stoning and other punishments,” is no different from the Sharia that is already in place in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and elsewhere. Is the Obama Administration really going on record saying that Sharia violates international human rights norms? Is “Islamophobia” seeping into its highest levels? […]

Malaysian PM: “Human rights-ism” goes against Muslim values

May 14, 2014 11:04 pm By Robert Spencer

He said it. Will Muslim spokesmen in the West denounce Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as an Islamophobe? Will they say that he is motivated by hatred and bigotry, and a racist desire to defame Islam and Muslims? Will they denounce him as ignorant of Islam? No? They won’t do any of those things? But […]

The Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam: “Useless at best and at worst harmful for human rights”

Apr 23, 2012 7:38 am By Robert Spencer

The world’s foremost foe of the freedom of speech, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, recently invoked the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam — a fact that should reassure no one who wants to see the freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and equality of rights of all people before the law protected. “It’s […]

Honor killing in Jordan: “I was enraged and shot her dead because she did something shameful.”

Sep 5, 2011 12:12 am By Marisol Seibold

She had just given birth to twins, and her father shot her. Yes, murders happen everywhere, and cases of parents killing their children exist across the world, but the crucial difference here is how the killings are rationalized and often praised, and how often they fail to be punished on a level that fits the […]

UN set to adopt report that praises Libya’s human rights record

Mar 2, 2011 5:01 am By Robert Spencer

It’s almost as if the UN has a secret agenda of seeing how far it can go into dhimmitude and idiocy before the U.S. pulls the plug. And no, this won’t be the limit, either. “UN set to adopt report that praises Libya’s human-rights record,” by Steven Edwards for Postmedia News, February 28 (thanks to […]

Iranian human rights lawyer gets 11-year prison term, including 5 years for allegedly appearing in videotaped message without veil

Jan 10, 2011 10:46 am By Marisol Seibold

One consistent hallmark of abusive laws is how often they lend themselves to being used to settle scores, to frighten a subjugated class into continued submission, or to pile on additional punishments out of sheer contempt. Sharia is replete with such examples. Pakistan’s blasphemy law is one such law, and here is another illustration of […]

He said it. And Khomeini would add: no fun. “No place for democracy and human rights in Islam, says Qom theologian,” from AsiaNews, September 8: Tehran (AsiaNews) – As the world mobilises against the stoning of Sakineh, a 43-year-old woman convicted for adultery and killing her husband, Iranian police continue to threaten and arrest journalists […]

Spencer: Muslims lying about Islamic atrocities

Jul 6, 2010 8:44 am By Robert Spencer

In Human Events today, I discuss the denial and obfuscation of Islamic spokesmen regarding human rights abuses within their own communities: As Muslims around the world continue to deny basic human rights to women and non-Muslims, Muslim spokesmen maintain a pattern of denial and deception. Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old Iranian woman, is facing death […]

Amnesty International suspends women’s rights activist who questioned its partnership with Taliban supporter

An update on this story. “Embattled Gender Analyst Leaves Post at Amnesty,” from Women’s eNews, n.d.: Gita Sahgal calls her entry into the world of journalism “sort of accidental,” but her most recent news appearances have been entirely on purpose.

Shock horror: Jordanian study finds Islamic supremacist parties least concerned with human rights

Why is it that the most avowedly Islamic parties seem to be made up of Misunderstanders of the Religion of Peace and Tolerance? “Study finds Islamist parties least concerned with human rights,” by Hani Hazaimeh for the Jordan Times, December 21 (thanks to Twostellas): AMMAN – The Kingdom’s Islamist parties are the least concerned with […]
