Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has requested a greater Russian presence in Syria as he tries to adjust (like every leader and jihad group in the Middle East) to a new balance of power as America declines under Biden. Turkey has been heavily present in Syria, and ties between Assad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan […]
Syria: Muslims murder three truffle hunters, kidnap 26 others
Why the truffle hunters are being targeted remains unclear. It could be because the hunting involves dogs, which are unclean in Islam, although an exception is made in the relevant hadith for hunting dogs: “Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What […]
Iran Utters Bloodcurdling Threats While Israel ‘Mows the Grass’ in Syria
In just the last few days in October, Israel continued tirelessly to “mow the grass” on the Syrian lawn, where it has in the past already attacked Iranian and Hezbollah-connected sites hundreds of times. Iran keeps threatening a terrible vengeance on Israel, but it has not yet managed to land a glove on the […]
Syria: Foundation for Polygamy opens to ‘correct misconceptions of polygamy and defend it as a sharia concept’
Polygamy dehumanizes women, reducing them to the status of commodities. The Qur’an tells Muslim men to “marry those that please you of women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then one…” (Qur’an 4:3). It seems fair: a man who cannot be just with multiple wives should […]
UK to train “moderate” Syrian opposition forces to target the Islamic State
Are we stuck in a time warp? For years it has been patently obvious that there are no “moderate” forces among the Syrian “opposition.” Even the New York Times acknowledged this, almost four years ago: “Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.” (New York Times, April 28, 2013) Nothing has […]
NY Times calls Aleppo capital of ISIS, then capital of Syria while chastising Gary Johnson for asking, “What is Aleppo?”
Raqqa is the capital of the Islamic State. Damascus is the capital of Syria. The New York Times, the “Paper of Record,” is not only a tired Leftist propaganda organ, but also about as reliable as to fact as The Onion. The New York Times is emblematic of the political and media elites with their […]
Liberation? Woman in town freed from Islamic State casts off niqab to reveal…hijab
The niqab is the full face veil, leaving only the eyes uncovered. The hijab covers only the hair. Liberation from oppression? The ever-clueless MailOnline thinks so, but it isn’t. Just a lessening of the oppression. Both the niqab and the hijab are based on the same principle, that it is the woman’s responsibility to remove […]
Refugee mill in overdrive: Assad declares “War on Terror” against Erdogan
While the West has no adequate system to protect its citizenry from Muslim migrant chaos, violence and disease, the Middle Eastern despots continue their killing machines and shed more blood. Now Assad intends to win back “every inch” of Syria and said that “Aleppo would be a graveyard for the hopes and dreams of Turkish […]
Islamic State stones two people to death on charges of adultery
Stoning adulterers is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an: ‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the […]
Islamic State executes teen for missing Friday prayers
“Before carrying out the execution, a Sharia official read a statement issued by the ISIS Sharia Court, vowing everyone who misses prayers at the mosque to face a similar punishment.” Classifying missing Friday prayers as apostasy is extraordinarily severe, but on the other hand, there is nothing in Islamic law that would forbid or rule […]
