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

Erdogan: ‘Turks must defend the rights of Jerusalem, even with their lives’ for ‘the honor of the Islamic nation’

Dec 5, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 13 Comments

Erdogan addressed a Muslim American Society audience on video, and reiterated his pledge to work towards a unified Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and Israel confined to its pre-1967 borders. The ’67 borders are also known as the Auschwitz borders, because Israel will not be able to defend itself from obliteration should […]

Sweden: Muslim migrant woman can’t get divorce because her husband didn’t agree to it

Dec 3, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 13 Comments

Women have an inferior status in Islamic law. Sharia allows Muslim men to divorce their wives unilaterally, while wives must have their husband’s consent. Sweden has proven in this case that even when they migrate to the West, Muslim women are not safe from the abuse they endured back home. Islamic law (Sharia) is regarded […]

Nigeria: Sharia police conduct door-to-door search at resort, hunting for sinners

Dec 1, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

What fun they’ll have when they’re in charge in Europe. “Hisbah Conducts Door-to-door Search To Fish Out ‘Sinners’ In Kano,” Sahara Reporters, November 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Officials of Hisbah in Kano State on Friday conducted a door-to-door search at Hills and Valley, a holiday and relaxation resort located at Dawakin […]

UK: Muslim jailed for jihad terror offenses asks of people killed by ISIS, ‘Why didn’t they just accept Sharia?’

Nov 25, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

Judge Philip Katz QC said that Yanaouri “had opted to listen to ‘notorious terrorist loudmouths’ instead of genuine clerics, and was ‘brainwashed by their propaganda.’” It would be helpful if the imam Katz would provide us with a list of these “genuine clerics,” but he won’t, of course, any more than he will explain from […]

Sweden: Discrimination Ombudsman rules that municipality’s ban on hijab, burqa, and niqab is illegal

Nov 20, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström is correct: “If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?” But as everyone knows, it’s racist for European and North American countries to try to preserve their own heritage, culture, and […]

Philippines: 48-year-old Muslim marries 13-year-old girl

Nov 20, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of […]

Egypt: Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar refutes claim that Islam allows Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men

Nov 20, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

The issue of interfaith marriage has arisen again this week among several Islamic leaders, reflecting a tug of war inside Islam and renewed efforts to keep Sharia provisions rigidly in place. Supremacism and expansionism are central to Islam, while mass Muslim migration, globalism and the Internet have had impact not only upon Western countries, but […]

Muslim warns Macron to end his ‘Islamophobia,’ says ‘you are still alive, but just wait until a Muslim reaches you’

Nov 15, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 33 Comments

The reference to “Islamophobia” is rich. Mian Haseeb Madni is, in the name of Islam and in explicit and avowed accord with its teachings, is offering a $315,000 reward for the murder of Emmanuel Macron. At the same time, he is decrying Macron’s “Islamophobia.” Why, a religion as chummy as this should be loved by […]

Russia: Ulema bans Muslim men from marrying non-Muslim women unless children are raised Muslim

Nov 14, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 22 Comments

Islam has specific laws on marriage: It is forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man, but a Muslim man can indeed marry a non-Muslim woman from the “People of the Book” — a Christian or a Jew. Sunni and Shia marital law allows Muslim men (in accord with Qur’an 4:3) to be […]

NYPD ends policy requiring hijab removal for mug shots

Nov 14, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 22 Comments

Once again the hijab, called a religious right by Muslims no matter what the circumstance, is in the news. This kind of case has been fought out in the courts before: Jihad Watch reported in 2018 that three Muslim women were awarded $60,000 each of taxpayer money for having to remove their hijab for mugshots.

Afghanistan: Taliban shoots woman and gouges out her eyes for getting a job

Nov 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 23 Comments

Where are the feminists and human rights defenders all over the West who boast about protecting the equality of rights of women? They are absent in this obscene case, just as they are absent when it comes to defending religious freedom in the face of the Muslim persecution of Christians and other religious minorities. The […]

Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer

Nov 11, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force. The residents of Kano State, or at least some of them — those who were going to […]

Al Jazeera celebrates the end of US ‘Muslim ban’ on day one of Biden presidency

Nov 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

Al Jazeera has come out cheering with the headline: US ‘Muslim ban’ set to end ‘on day one’ of Biden presidency. Yet there really isn’t any “Muslim ban.” These were actually the terms of the ban, which initially covered seven countries of concern that were actually chosen by the Obama Administration. Robert Spencer has explained: […]

France: Poll finds that over half of young Muslims prefer Sharia to Republic’s laws

Nov 9, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 66 Comments

No worries. Macron will explain to them that somehow they have bought into a “distorted Islam,” and all will be well. “Over Half of Young French Muslims Prefer Sharia to French Republic Laws, Poll Finds,” by Ilya Tsukanov, Sputnik News, November 6, 2020: French President Emmanuel Macron stepped up efforts to combat Islamist ideology in […]

Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria accuses UK, US, Canada and others of bias against Nigerian Muslims

Nov 7, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 18 Comments

By now, it is obvious (at least to anyone who is paying attention) how Islamic supremacists manipulate the word “Islamophobia” to subvert free societies. The word is employed skillfully by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and particularly promulgated by Pakistan and Turkey. Those who would call out the human rights abuses that are committed in […]

UAE minister defies global Islamic fury and backs Macron’s remarks on Muslims needing to integrate in West

Nov 4, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

Amid upheaval across the Muslim world over France’s Muhammad cartoons and defense of the freedom of expression, the United Arab Emirates’ minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, has come out in support of French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments about Muslim integration. Despite Gargash’s good intentions, however, the widespread backlash against Macron, with tens […]

UK: Councillor threatened with beheading for ‘Islamophobic’ comments about Muslim rape gangs and mosques

A Conservative member of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, Beverly Dunlop, on Facebook “suggested banning mosques and, in another, claimed fundamentalists were ‘hiding in plain sight in the Muslim community.’” And according to Breitbart, “In another post from 2019, she criticised calls for an inquiry into Islamophobia in the Conservative Party by saying: ‘How about […]

Saudi Arabia condemns ‘offensive’ cartoons in wake of murder of French schoolteacher, but not his beheading

Oct 29, 2020 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

Saudi Arabia has joined the chorus of Islamic states condemning “cartoons offending the Prophet Mohammed.” Conspicuously absent from its statement was any condemnation of the beheading of French schoolteacher Samuel Paty for showing a Muhammad cartoon. To mock or insult or offend Muhammad is a grave offense, worthy of death under the Sharia. This makes […]

Grand Imam of al-Azhar calls for international legislation criminalizing ‘acts of hate’ against Muslims

Oct 29, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 51 Comments

Europe, the U.S., and the world at large are eventually going to have to choose: freedom of speech, or submission to Sharia blasphemy laws? Which one they will choose is in doubt at the moment. Submission was galloping forward until Samuel Paty was beheaded. That seems to have galvanized the French government into acting to […]

Sweden: Muslim migrants who beat gay couple will not be deported, only one will serve jail time

What is the likelihood that these young men will, after completing their community service and — in one case — the two months (and likely less) of jail time, become loyal, productive members of Swedish society? About nil. Because nothing whatsoever is being done or will be done to try to ensure that they adopt […]
