Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer
Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force.

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.

Nigeria: Musician sentenced to death for blaspheming Muhammad appeals conviction, says country isn’t under Sharia

This is all because of a song in which, critics claim, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu “praised an imam from the Tijaniya Muslim brotherhood to the extent it elevated him above the Prophet Muhammad.” The substance of this charge shows that ultimately any expression of any non-Muslim religious faith is blasphemous in Islam, as it would involve the […]
Nigeria: Muslim chains up teenage daughter for two years for refusing arranged marriage
Muhammad Ujujud chained up his son also. The Qur’an specifies this punishment for lesbian activity and requires four witnesses.

Nigeria: Kano State, which enforces Sharia, destroys 196,400 bottles of beer
Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force.

Nigeria: Qur’anic School teacher marries off his 13-year-old daughter to 56-year-old man
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage.

Nigeria: Sharia court sentences two to death for blasphemy against Muhammad
In the free and enlightened West, we don’t kill people for blaspheming Muhammad.

It is wonderful to live in the free world. “Kano Sharia Court Sentences Two To Death For […]
Nigeria: Muslims set Sharia court ablaze over “insult” to Muhammad
