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

Pakistan: Muslim clerics say they won’t administer marriage ceremonies if celebrations include music and dance

Oct 13, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

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, […]

Rihanna apologies to Muslim community for ‘careless mistake’ of using Islamic texts in lingerie show

Oct 9, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 18 Comments

Many videos are “offensive,” and usually when they involve religion, the target is Christianity. No one apologizes or is even asked to apologize. Are these offenses also “honest and careless mistakes?” The normal reaction to videos when they are offensive, as is often expected, is to have an adult discussion about them, or simply don’t […]

“There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam.”

Aug 13, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Ayatollah Khomeini famously proclaimed: “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 […]

Islamic Republic of Iran deports singer: authorities were afraid she might try to sing

Jul 5, 2019 8:30 am By Robert Spencer

You can see from her wearing of the hijab and niqab that Joss Stone was ready to be accommodating, and she didn’t plan to sing anyway, but none of that mattered. “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test […]

UK: Christmas and Halloween may soon become “outlawed” in Muslim dominated East London

Jul 1, 2019 1:30 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Christmas and Halloween may become outlawed in East London due to the disdain the high Muslim population has for those celebrations. In fact, as Blitz news explains, these celebrations constitute an “act of extreme sin” for Muslims. Islamic life is rooted in the Sharia which is incompatible with democratic rule of law and the social […]

Saudi Arabia shuts down first halal nightclub to avoid corrupting the “holiest city in Islam”

Jun 17, 2019 10:16 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Westerners continue to argue among themselves (emphasis among themselves) about what Islam is. It should be obvious what normative Islam is, based on adherence to it in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Egypt etc. and also the kind of theology coming out of Al Azhar University. So while Westerners continue to fall for the “islamophobia” ploy […]

Iran: youth taught to shun fun; ‘enjoy’ economic war, jihad against kaffirs

May 27, 2019 9:09 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Emotional hostage-taking and indoctrination has enabled mullahs to control the minds of their populations from as young as they can remember…. Ultraconservatives dominating the Islamic Republic are calling on Iranian youth to find joy and fun in the “economic war” their country is engaged in. “Cheerfulness among youth will not materialize through illegitimate music and […]

UK: Man prays to Aladdin in interfaith prayer room, hate crime being investigated

May 11, 2019 11:30 am By marc

“Police are investigating a man pretending to pray to “Aladdin” as a joke in a Muslim prayer room as a hate crime.” No one would doubt Muslims’ feelings were hurt because it really doesn’t take much to offend a Muslim. They need to, and are required to protect their god, as he is incapable of […]
