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

Canadian Mental Health Association studies Muslim women’s mental health due to ‘discrimination’ and ‘hate crimes’

Dec 5, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 14 Comments

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA): In Canada, Muslims are the targets of significant hate crime, aggression and discrimination. Muslim women in particular face discrimination and ill-treatment, even more so than Muslim men. This may be because the practice of wearing the hijab is a visible expression of Muslim women’s religion. It is […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl rescued from her 44-year-old abductor and rapist ‘husband’

Nov 6, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 23 Comments

Child marriage is part of Islamic tradition and law (Sahih Bukhari book 63, hadith 122), and so is the taking of kaffir women as sex slaves (Quran 4:24, 4:3, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The practice of abduction and forced conversion of non-Muslim girls, followed by forced marriage, is routine in Pakistan. The suffering of non-Muslim girls […]

UK: Government inquiry into child abuse investigates Church of England and Armed Forces, but not Muslim rape gangs

Nov 5, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 24 Comments

In other words, this was no inquiry at all, but an expensive process engineered to exonerate Muslim rape gangs. The probe was expected to”look at the mostly Pakistani grooming gangs which have struck in towns across Britain including Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and Telford, while police, social services and local councils turned a blind eye to […]

France: Finance minister accuses mayors of giving in to ‘political Islam’ with women-only hours at pools

Oct 28, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 20 Comments

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

Oct 25, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 72 Comments

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

Oct 24, 2020 4:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield 27 Comments

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

Oct 24, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 12 Comments

“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”

Oct 22, 2020 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer 46 Comments

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

Oct 21, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 12 Comments

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 […]

Finland: Muslim migrant says he’s proud of trying to honor-murder ex-wife, ‘women have too many rights in Finland’

Oct 16, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Here is yet another example of a Muslim migrant bringing his cultural attitudes and assumptions, which are rooted in Islam’s teachings about women and their status and rights, to his new home in the West. No attempt is made in Finland or anywhere else to encourage migrant assimilation. Consequently, the atomization and balkanization of Finnish […]

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

Oct 13, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 33 Comments

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 […]

Iran: Influential ayatollah calls on police to make ‘surroundings unsafe’ for women with ‘loose hijab’

Oct 6, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

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 […]

Canada: Muslim father kidnaps daughter, sends her to Iraq to keep her from embracing Western culture

Sep 29, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 29 Comments

How many Muslim migrants in Canada, the U.S. and Europe have the same mindset as that of Ali Al Aazawi? What is the likelihood that they will raise their children to be loyal, productive members of Western societies? But no one is allowed to ask questions like these; to do so would be “Islamophobic.” “Dad […]

France: Men beat woman after one says ‘Look at that whore in a skirt’

Sep 28, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

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 […]
