“The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah.” (Qur’an 5:38) But remember: if you believe Sharia is incompatible with Western values, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Iran upholds sentence to amputate the fingers of 4 teens convicted of stealing,” by Hollie McKay, […]
Afghanistan talks: Taliban demand ‘Islamic system,’ existing government insists political system is ‘fully Islamic’
In Afghanistan, it was the “Islamic system,” i.e., Sharia principles, that led the Taliban to join forces with al-Qaeda to wage jihad against the U.S. government, culminating in the 9/11 jihad attacks. Now all these years later, the two sides in the ongoing “peace negotiations” are arguing over which will implement Sharia most faithfully. The […]
Nigeria: Sharia court sentences 13-year-old boy to 10 years in jail for blasphemy
Such barbarism is actually merciful in a Sharia context, since the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy is death. This is yet another indication that Sharia has no place in Western societies. Yet increasingly, the freedom of speech is being curbed so as not to offend the sensibilities of Muslims (who have been conditioned under the […]
Afghanistan gets seat at UN Commission on the Status of Women, dedicated to promotion of gender equality
Because if there is anything Afghanistan is known for, it is gender equality and the championing of the rights of women. This article is full of people saying how good this will be for women in Afghanistan, but it is much more likely to whitewash the plight of women in Afghanistan. The UN is more […]
Iraq: Shi’ite Muslims set fire to TV channel offices for broadcasting music during Ashura
Islamic apologists in the West frequently boast of what they claim to be high levels of piety and morality in majority-Muslim countries, as opposed to the galloping decadence of the post-Christian West. In all too many cases, however, that piety and morality is a manifestation of a fear of actions like this one. It is […]
Nigeria: Musician sentenced to death for blaspheming Muhammad appeals conviction, says country isn’t under Sharia
This is a very significant case. It will be interesting to see how Shariff-Aminu’s appeal is received. This recalls the case of Robert Hussein Qambar Ali, a Kuwaiti national who converted from Islam to Christianity in the 1990s. Hussein was arrested and tried for apostasy, even though the Kuwaiti Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion […]
Muslim leader: We need to convert all Hindus to Islam out of compassion, it’s easy to fool and mass-convert them
Islamic supremacists are infamous for using whatever tactics they see fit to advance Islam, whether they be trickery and stealth jihad, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates’ tactics of subversion, or violent jihad. Kalim Siddiqui, a Zakat Foundation Shariah Council member, not only mocks Hindus and their beliefs, but also views converting them, […]
Pierre Rehov Video: Violence and Discrimination
This documentary explores the situation of women in the Palestinian Territories, the abuses they suffer and the reasons why many of them are attached to Sharia law in the belief that Islamic law protects them. For nearly 20 years, Pierre Rehov and his teams have explored the Middle East with the aim of revealing facts […]
Canada: Muslim cleric says Islam allows marital rape and sex slavery
Several years ago I was scheduled to debate Shabir Ally but the debate was abruptly canceled without explanation. Since then, I’ve made it clear several times that I was willing to debate him, but he never responded. Now we know why he has been ducking me: he knows what I say to be correct, and […]
Australia: Muslim migrant uses Sharia law as an excuse for raping his wife
Judge Christopher Stevenson “said the man had not only broken the law, but the respect between husband and wife.” However, no such respect actually exists within the framework of the Sharia, which is based on Qur’anic tenets that teach that men are superior to women (cf. Qur’an 4:34). The migrant said confidently and correctly that […]
France: Interior Minister vows to deport Muslim family that shaved daughter’s head and beat her for dating a Christian
Jihad Watch reported on this story last Saturday: a Muslim migrant girl’s family shaved her head and beat her for having a Christian boyfriend. Now, in an important update, “France’s interior minister has vowed to deport the family of a Bosnian Muslim girl who was allegedly beaten and had her head shaved for dating a […]
India: Muslim rapes 10-year-old girl who is forced to marry him, then he divorces her
Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam by Muhammad’s example. The rape doesn’t matter; any guilt the rapist thereby incurs is expiated by the marriage itself. And divorce of prepubescent girls is provided for in the Qur’an: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their period is three […]
India: Muslim village leaders issue fatwa banning music, lottery, watching TV
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]
France: Muslim migrant girl’s family shaves her head and beats her for having a Christian boyfriend
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 […]

India: Muslim cleric rapes 9-year-old girl, her family pressured to drop legal complaint and marry her to him
Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic […]
Australia: Despite police crackdown, Muslim network openly spreads jihad ideology, may recruit for jihad groups
This jihadi network received unfavorable attention from the media and police years ago, yet it is still operating. Australian officials’ failure to implement a zero tolerance policy has enabled it to continue its activity. As long as this official diffidence continues, these jihadist organizations will inevitably proliferate further, while continue to intimidate anyone who warns […]
Turkey: Ruling party discussing annulment of law combating violence against women
It’s easy to see why. This is all part of Turkey’s abandonment of secularism (exemplified by the conversion of Hagia Sophia from a museum to a mosque) and embrace of Islamization. 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 […]
Austria: Muslim migrant ‘guardians of morals’ threaten ‘too Western’ women, hang their pictures in mosques
They didn’t hang their pictures in mosques so that the mosquegoers could pray for them, but so that these women would be further threatened and intimidated. No one at the mosque seems to have informed these “guardians” that Islam is a religion of tolerance that respects women. What are the chances that the people in […]
UK: Fearing charges of ‘Islamophobia,’ government allows Sharia marriages trapping women in ‘moral captivity’
Fearing being struck by the “Islamophobia” battering ram, the UK government “has refused to make the registration of sharia marriages mandatory out of fear of appearing ‘Islamophobic.’” All Muslims should be adhering to the law of the land once they move to Western countries and recognize the equality of rights of all people, but all […]
