Islamic State’s female police force whips, bites women who get out of line
The sex slavery has Qur’anic justification (see “the captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50), as does the easy divorce — however, if it is accurate that women are “‘divorced’ by an Islamic cleric and married to another fighter for a week,” this would seem to violate the Qur’an’s prescribed waiting period after […]

Islamic State: Children study Qur’an, get weapons training
They study the Qur’an? Do they skip over all of its peaceful passages upon which Barack Obama, David Cameron and the rest place such hope? Or are those leaders engaging in wishful thinking on a massive scale when they insist that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam? “Isis pays parents for children […]
Islamic State throws another gay man off a building, crowd stones him
Woe to you — from the gay community — if you dare to point out Sharia persecution of gays.

“Palestinian” Muslima abandons two children to join the Islamic State
If the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, why do only Muslims join it? If it has nothing to do with Islam, why does it have such appeal among so many Muslims who leave their homes to join it? “East Jerusalem Mother of Two Abandons Children to Join ISIS in Syria,” by Raphael […]

Islamic State issues rules for Christians living in “state of subjugation”
The ever-clueless Daily Mail is, of course, treating these rules as if they’re sinister creations of the “conservatives” running the Islamic State. In fact, they are part of traditional and mainstream Islamic law. A manual of Islamic law certified by no less an authority than al-Azhar as a reliable guide to orthodox Sunni Islam lays […]
Islamic State: Shopkeepers must cut wifi during prayer times
The Islamic State, as is common for Islamic supremacists, is here enforcing piety at the point of a sword — which means that the result is not real piety and real virtue, but an empire of fear that will collapse as soon as the sword-point can somehow be evaded. “Islamic State orders wifi cut during […]
