Bruno Le Maire stated: “There is terrorism, yes — the crime that must be judged and condemned….And there is the ideology that is at the root of terrorism and which is more insidious — political Islam, which has had its accomplices for years in France.’” And that is precisely the same ideology that declares women […]
France: Muslims in high school threaten teacher for her remarks on Islamic veil, seven students in police custody
How do the French think this is going to work out in the long run? Did they really think mass migration without assimilation was a sustainable proposition? As Mass Migration in Europe: A Model for the U.S.?, that was the plan all along. And the current upheaval in France can be directly traced to that […]
Corporation From an Islamic State Where Wife-Beating is Legal Opens a Feminist Hotel in DC
Look at the tampon portrait of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, ignore the wife-beating. What was Washington D.C. missing? A feminist hotel whose lobby has a giant portrait of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg made out of “repurposed tampons”. Of all the ways the deceased justice would want to be remembered, a giant tampon portrait likely ranks below […]
Iran: Woman bicycles without hijab, governor says she ‘insulted the Islamic veil,’ her motive is being investigated
“Authorities in Iran have arrested a woman for ‘insulting the Islamic Hijab,’ after a video of her cycling without a veil went viral on social media,” and as if that weren’t enough, Najafabad governor Mojatabei Raei claimed: “The residents of this city are holding a protest rally today after the unprecedented violation of norms.” Meanwhile, […]
UK: “I Stopped Wearing My Hijab Because I Was Scared for My Life”
Meanwhile, the real victims are Muslim women who dare not to wear the hijab. My latest in FrontPage: The UK’s Metro on Thursday published a sob story entitled “I stopped wearing my hijab because I was scared for my life,” all about “Islamophobia” in the Sceptered Isle. Sumaiya Ahmed, who poses, hijabless but demure, in […]
Canada: CBC again promotes hijab after its last hijab-promoting Muslima was arrested for joining the Islamic State
The CBC News headline is: “University of Waterloo student’s hijab business addresses lack of Muslim representation in fashion.” This oppressive garment should remain scarcely represented. It should not be normalized in any free society. Countless young Canadian entrepreneurs are trying to carve out a living across the country, but CBC would never give them the […]
France: Mosque closed for six months for link to beheading of teacher for showing Muhammad cartoon
What about after the six months are over? Do French authorities actually believe that this mosque will then teach the importance of the freedom of speech and the necessity to reject Islam’s death penalty for blasphemy? “French mosque shut over message linked to teacher beheading,” by Elaine Ganley, AP, October 20, 2020: PARIS — A […]
France: Leftist politician says Muslim who beheaded teacher over Muhammad cartoons is ‘sullying religion’
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, like so many non-Muslims who assure us that Islam is the most peaceful, benign and cuddly of religions, clearly has no clue about what Islam actually teaches. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or […]
Syracuse imam: ‘No such thing as a Muslim girl living alone’ because women are ‘easily tricked and deceived’
Here’s one for all those who insist that Sharia is completely compatible with Western society, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia.” “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 Day […]
Denmark: Government wants jail time for Sharia imams
The Danish government will be denounced for this as “Islamophobic.” Western nations are not allowed to attempt to preserve their own culture, laws, and customs. Only nations in other parts of the world are allowed to do that. “Government wants jail time for Sharia imams,” CPH Post, October 7, 2020: Late last month, an imam […]
Pakistan: Muslim clerics say they won’t administer marriage ceremonies if celebrations include music and dance
These clerics only banned music at weddings. They must be moderates. Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, but it’s nonetheless true: Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, […]
France: Muslima ransacks supermarket liquor department, is arrested and released, does it again
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Verily Allah, the Exalted, has forbidden wine. So who hears this verse and he has anything of it with him, he should neither drink it nor sell it.” (Sahih Muslim 3835) The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one should conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. […]
Detroit: Muslima with Hamas-linked CAIR lawyer sues for being made to remove hijab in booking photo
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) indefatigably pushes the notion that Muslims are victims of widespread harassment and discrimination in the U.S. This is in order to deflect attention away from jihad terror activity and to buttress the notion that counter-terror scrutiny of Muslim communities is simply more of this persecution. But actual “hate […]
Nigeria: Sharia police ban stylish haircuts, sagging trousers, playing of music at social events
I’m with them on the sagging trousers, but anyway, remember all the people who insisted that Sharia was completely compatible with Western secular values, and that anyone who thought otherwise was a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”? “Like In Kano, Hisbah Bans ‘UnIslamic’ Hairstyles, Dressing In Kebbi State,” SaharaReporters, October 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of […]
Iran: Influential ayatollah calls on police to make ‘surroundings unsafe’ for women with ‘loose hijab’
This is an open call for violence, but Tabatabei-Nejad is unlikely to face any criticism from his fellow ayatollahs for it. As far as they’re concerned, violence against women who don’t wear hijab is justified. After all, the Qur’an says to beat women “from whom you fear disobedience” (4:34) and that women should veil themselves […]
Rushdie rejects Cat Stevens’ claim that he was ‘framed’ when he endorsed Rushdie’s death fatwa for blasphemy
Note the dishonesty. “Islam subsequently clarified that he was not condoning the killing of Rushdie but simply stating that, in the Koran, blasphemy is punishable by death.” That was then. Now his lawyers have issued a statement that says: “Regardless of the interpretation that was put on his statements in 1989, he does not support […]
Denmark: Prime Minister says Sharia is ‘wrong. It is oppressive of women. It must never, ever become Danish.’
Nearly 40% of Muslims in Denmark “would like to have the country’s laws at least partly based on Sharia law.” This statistic is absurd. It should be established that newcomers to any country have a duty to live by that country’s laws and mores. But not Islamic supremacists, who view their primary duty as being […]
Azerbaijan hires Syrian jihadis as mercenaries, they impose Sharia, mandating hijabs and forbidding liquor
The secularized Azerbaijanis lived for decades under Soviet Communist rule and have not lived under Sharia for centuries. They aren’t used to this, particularly since it was entirely unexpected. Having no modern experience with Sharia, they feel keenly the inhumanity of many of its provisions. “Sharia Law, chaos and looting against Azerbaijani citizens –Baku’s plan […]
France: Men beat woman after one says ‘Look at that whore in a skirt’
This random attack could be a manifestation of the contempt that Islam teaches for unveiled, non-Muslim women. It is hard to think of another group that would call a woman a “whore” for wearing a skirt, but there may be one. The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women […]
Odense Mayor: ‘We will send a clear societal signal to imams who practise Sharia that it is punishable in Denmark’
Odense’s mayor, Peter Rahbæk Juel, said: “It is psychological violence, carried out by means of Sharia Law. It’s unacceptable, and it hurts my stomach to read these things….We will send a clear societal signal to imams and preachers who practise Sharia Law that it is punishable in Denmark.” Ultimately every Western nation, and every non-Muslim […]
