Afghanistan gets seat at UN Commission on the Status of Women, dedicated to promotion of gender equality

Sep 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

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 […]

Pierre Rehov Video: Violence and Discrimination

Sep 2, 2020 7:59 am By Robert Spencer

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

Sep 1, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

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

Aug 27, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

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

Aug 27, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

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

Aug 25, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

France: Muslim migrant girl’s family shaves her head and beats her for having a Christian boyfriend

Aug 22, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Aug 20, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Turkey: Ruling party discussing annulment of law combating violence against women

Aug 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Muslim cleric: When women obey Islamic law, ‘the Jews will be disappeared and Jerusalem be ready for a new conquest’

Aug 17, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine if a cleric of any other religion said something like this, which would never and should never happen. But this will receive no attention. It is taken for granted that Muslim clerics will say this sort of thing from time to time, and that it means nothing, nothing at all — taken for granted […]

Austria: Muslim migrant ‘guardians of morals’ threaten ‘too Western’ women, hang their pictures in mosques

Aug 15, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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’

Aug 14, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

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 […]

Turkey: Religious Affairs Ministry says it’s permissible for girls to be married at age nine

Aug 10, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It would have been surprising if the Diyanet had said anything else. 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 […]

Iranian Police Demand More Officers To Enforce Hijab Requirement on Women

Aug 7, 2020 4:00 pm By Vijeta Uniyal

“So many women flout the rules that…existing manpower is not enough to enforce hijab.” Iranian police are running short on enforcers to compel women to wear Islamic headscarves, or hijabs, in public. Iran’s deputy chief of law enforcement asked the regime for more manpower to implement the sharia-mandated hijab rules, media reports said. Iranian Islamic […]

Turkey: Top Islamic religious body tells women to accept violence at the hands of their husbands

Aug 6, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Of course. 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 Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah […]

Islamic Republic of Iran: Morality agent spits at girls not wearing hijab, asks them “where’s your dirty owner?”

Jul 28, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Tell me again about how women are respected, even revered, and their rights protected under Sharia. This man feels free to treat these girls with hatred and contempt because he is an agent of a regime that is based on Islamic law, which teaches contempt for those outside the fold (unbelievers are like animals according […]

German State of Baden-Württemberg Bans Burqa in Schools

Baden-Württemberg State Premier: Islamic face coverings do not ‘belong in a free society.’ Baden-Württemberg became the first German state to ban the burqa and other Sharia-mandated full-face coverings from its schools, local newspapers reported on Wednesday. The southern German state already forbids teaching staff to wear such garbs. The announcement comes as several other German […]

Islam on Women: A Rebuttal of Dr. Craig Considine on the Topic of Muhammad’s Humanity

Jul 20, 2020 8:00 am By Isaac Marshall

There have rarely been historical figures more virulently anti-women than Muhammad, yet alongside many other characteristics of the prophet of Islam that are lauded by Dr. Craig Considine, Considine insists that Muhammad is inherently humane. Dr. Considine frequently repeats an interesting rebuttal to the claim that Islam oppresses women in the character of Aisha, one […]

Germany: Passengers offered psychological counseling after Muslim migrant murders his wife on bus

Jul 15, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Psychological counseling is not what they need. That just reinforces the idea that this kind of behavior is something Germans are just going to have to learn to accept. Instead, there needs to be a searching discussion of the wisdom of bringing in large numbers of people from a culture of violence, the foundational text […]

France: Muslim migrant accused of attempting to rape 3 women in one night, stabbing one victim 9 times

Jul 15, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Women are worth less than men in Islam. Men are instructed to beat disobedient wives (Quran 4:34) and infidel women can be taken as sex slaves (Quran 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50). In addition, Muslims are instructed to cast terror into the hearts of disbelievers and strike them upon the neck (Quran 8:12). So it should […]
