Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Villagers forced to watch stoning in Somalia

Dec 14, 2009 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

A hadith regarding stoning: “‘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 Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed.

Somalia: Misunderstanders of Islam ban musical ringtones on phones

Nov 4, 2009 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

There Is No […]
