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

Islamic scholar: ‘The Quran has raised us to be the enemies of the Jews. They are the most evil of creatures.’

Oct 8, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 35 Comments

What negotiated settlement do you think can be reached with the likes of Mohamed Ould Khattari? And he is no “extremist”: the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims […]

Why Isn’t Black Lives Matter Protesting the Slavery That Still Exists Today?

Jul 8, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: It is, or ought to be, clear to everyone by now that Black Lives Matter is not a genuine movement for racial justice and a more equitable society, but a Marxist organization using real, exaggerated, and imagined racial injustice to try to destroy the United States. Anyone who is still […]

Mauritanian anti-slavery activist: “There is still slavery in Mauritania. More than 20% suffer from slavery.”

Jun 30, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

You’ll never hear anything about this from Black Lives Matter, because that organization doesn’t really care about black lives. It is a Marxist organization using real, exaggerated, and imagined racial injustice to try to destroy the United States. “Mauritanian Anti-Slavery Activist Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh: Slavery Still Exists in Mauritania; Slaves Can Be Bequeathed From Father […]

Mauritania: Seven people charged with “contempt for the Muslim religion” and “terrorism” for criticizing Islam

Mar 6, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Yes, they were charged with “terrorism” for criticizing Islam. Remember this the next time you hear that cynical and disingenuous Hamas-linked Muslim groups in the U.S. have condemned terrorism. Meanwhile, this is 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 […]

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: 10 men jailed over ‘gay party’ video

Jan 31, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a […]

Slaveholding Mauritania, Sharia Sudan, jihad-plagued Libya elected to UN Human Rights Council

Oct 18, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The UN is a sick joke. It is nothing close to what it was intended to be: an international body in which the nations of the world could work out their differences peacefully, without resorting to war. It is, instead, just an arm of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), advancing the Islamic agenda with […]

Slavery persists in North Africa and elsewhere in Muslim countries

Oct 18, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Slavery is acceptable in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50) Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased […]

Mauritania: Man held for two extra years in prison on blasphemy charges as Muslims call for his execution

Aug 3, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is a great injustice, but they could have put him to death, as the mob wishes to do. There is much support in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the death penalty for blasphemy. It can arguably be found in this verse: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger […]

Cleric demands Muslims must “strive to obtain nuclear weapons” to stop zionists

May 30, 2019 11:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In the Islamic republic of Mauritania where sharia is the law of the land and where black slaves are still being held by Arabs,  Cleric Muhammad Al-Hassan Ould Al-Dadou Al-Shanqiti said to his TV interviewer on Al-Aqsa TV that “Muslims have a duty to strive to obtain nuclear weapons because there is a threat that […]

Mauritania: Parliament twice rejects laws stiffening penalties for violence against women

Mar 9, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Why? Because such laws would be un-Islamic. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard […]

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Anti-slavery activist arrested

Aug 19, 2018 11:49 am By Robert Spencer

Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery, and persecute anti-slavery activists? Because slavery is sanctioned in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom […]

Muslim cleric: “The Jews from all over the land will gather around the Antichrist…The Muslims will kill them”

Aug 7, 2018 10:35 am By Robert Spencer

Muhammad Al-Hassan Ould Al-Dadou Al-Shanqiti is not an “extremist.” This is just standard Islam. The hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as saying that Muslims would kill Jews and the Jews would hide behind trees and the trees would cry out is at Sahih Muslim 6985 and elsewhere. The idea that Jews are apes and […]

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: “Blasphemer” still in jail despite serving twice longer than his sentence

Jul 7, 2018 7:19 pm By Robert Spencer

“The case, in the north-western city of Nouadhibou, divided Mauritania, the Islamic republic with many conservative muslims calling for his execution.” Indeed, and Mauritanian authorities could have put Cheikh Ould Mohamed Ould Mkheitir to death. There is much support in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the death penalty for blasphemy. It can arguably be found […]

Mauritania makes death penalty for leaving Islam mandatory: “We want to be as close to the real Sharia as possible”

Jun 12, 2018 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic apologists in the West routinely insist that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, but as always, reality is otherwise. 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 […]

Islamic Republic of Mauritania finally beginning to enforce its law against slavery

Apr 6, 2018 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery? Because it’s Islamic.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania failing to tackle pervasive slavery

Feb 1, 2018 4:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Where is the international outcry? Would caring for the slaves suffering today in Mauritania be “Islamophobic”? We constantly hear in the West that Islam forbids slavery, but reality is otherwise. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to […]

Defying international pressure, Islamic Republic of Mauritania refuses to free slaves

Aug 28, 2017 8:30 am By Robert Spencer

The Mauritanian agency that is supposed to be dealing with slavery is “run by the white Moor community there, and it focuses a lot on a poverty alleviation mandate and doesn’t really address the slavery issues.” Where is the international outcry? In the U.S., the Left is enraged over 100-year-old statues of slaveowners, but what […]

Mauritania: Muslim clerics demand death for blogger who criticized Muhammad’s treatment of Jews

Nov 14, 2016 4:48 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir’s case went to the Nouadhibou court of appeals, which upheld his death sentence, stemming from an article he wrote in 2013 called “Religion, Religiosity and Craftsmen.” In it, he criticized the marginalization of Mauritania’s craftsmen population as well the nation’s caste system. The biggest problem was that he criticized Muhammad, […]
