Nigeria: Sharia police conduct door-to-door search at resort, hunting for sinners

Dec 1, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

What fun they’ll have when they’re in charge in Europe. “Hisbah Conducts Door-to-door Search To Fish Out ‘Sinners’ In Kano,” Sahara Reporters, November 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Officials of Hisbah in Kano State on Friday conducted a door-to-door search at Hills and Valley, a holiday and relaxation resort located at Dawakin […]

Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer

Nov 11, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

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. The residents of Kano State, or at least some of them — those who were going to […]

Nigeria: Sharia court sentences 13-year-old boy to 10 years in jail for blasphemy

Sep 19, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 16 Comments

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. Yet increasingly, the freedom of speech is being curbed so as not to offend the sensibilities of Muslims (who have been conditioned under the […]

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

Sep 7, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 28 Comments

This is a very significant case. It will be interesting to see how Shariff-Aminu’s appeal is received. This recalls the case of Robert Hussein Qambar Ali, a Kuwaiti national who converted from Islam to Christianity in the 1990s. Hussein was arrested and tried for apostasy, even though the Kuwaiti Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion […]

Nigeria: Muslim singer sentenced to death for blasphemy, Muslims burn his house down

Aug 12, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Oct 6, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad Ujujud chained up his son also. The Qur’an specifies this punishment for lesbian activity and requires four witnesses. It may be that he got the idea that this was justified from this passage of the Qur’an: “Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women – bring against them four from among you. And […]

Ramadan: Sharia police in Kano, Nigeria and elsewhere to arrest anyone found eating in public

May 6, 2019 10:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Police in Kano, Nabahani Usman has said that adults seen eating in public during Ramadan would be arrested.”  But this is not a practice unique to the mostly unknown Kano, Nigeria.  Across sharia adherent countries, eating in public during Ramadan is prohibited and thus punishable. Many of these countries give infidel visitors a warning first. […]

Nigeria: Muslims ambush oil exploration team, murder at least 69

Jul 30, 2017 7:03 pm By Robert Spencer

“Experts said the attack — Boko Haram’s bloodiest this year — underscored the persistent threat it poses, despite government claims the group is a spent force.” The Nigerian government also vowed to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2014. And by the end of 2015. And now it is a spent force that just […]

Nigeria: Qur’anic School teacher marries off his 13-year-old daughter to 56-year-old man

Dec 25, 2016 4:05 am By Robert Spencer

Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with […]

Nigeria: Muslim mob beheads Christian woman for “blasphemy”

Jun 3, 2016 5:34 am By Robert Spencer

Life is precarious for non-Muslims in Kano: even the rumor of “blasphemy” against Muhammad can and will be taken as an offense for which death is the only punishment. “Christian Woman Beheaded in Kano Over Blasphemy,” Breaking Times, June 3, 2016: A Christian woman trading in plastics at Kofar Wambai Market in Kano was yesterday […]

Nigeria: Kano state adding Arabic to curricula to aid understanding of Islam

Feb 23, 2016 5:31 am By Robert Spencer

This article is designed to make readers conclude that this is a good thing, that it will help Nigerians avoid falling into the “misconceptions” about Islam held by Boko Haram, the Islamic State in West Africa. However, since what the Islamic State in West Africa does is based scrupulously upon clear teachings of the Qur’an […]

Nigeria: Sharia court sentences two to death for blasphemy against Muhammad

Jun 25, 2015 7:11 pm By Robert Spencer

In the free and enlightened West, we don’t kill people for blaspheming Muhammad. We just assassinate their character and call them “racists,” “bigots” and “Islamophobes,” and imply that Islamic jihad murderers are justified in stalking and hunting them. 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

May 23, 2015 9:35 am By Robert Spencer

Some people think that has a matter of courtesy and respect for Muslims as human beings, non-Muslims should be careful not to insult Muhammad. The problem with this is that when some Muslims are so ready to commit violence over perceived insults to Muhammad, what might ordinarily have been a simple matter of courtesy and […]

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 64 with guns and bombs at mosque

Nov 28, 2014 12:28 pm By Robert Spencer

At least 64 have been murdered, and 120 wounded. Authorities believe this was an attack in response to a recent statement by Nigerian leader Lamido Sanusi, calling upon Nigerians to fight against Boko Haram, the real name of which is The Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. “The mosque is […]

Sharia in action in Nigeria: Police smash 240,000 bottles of beer to screams of “Allahu akbar”
