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

U.K.: Sharia tribunal proposed for Wales

Dec 11, 2009 12:04 am By Marisol Seibold

Only Islamophobes oppose this sort of thing, right? Wrong. As one Muslim woman who opposes the plan said, “It’s being advertised as this opt-in system when it actually isn’t.” That’s true not only on an individual level, but for the broader process of creeping Sharia in the West. “Sharia law tribunal is proposed,” from BBC […]

Sudan: Christian girl gets 50 lashes for wearing “indecent” knee-length skirt

Nov 27, 2009 5:28 am By Robert Spencer

The learned analysts have repeatedly assured us that Sharia provisions do not apply to non-Muslims. Sharia Alert: “Christian girl, 16, gets 50 lashes for wearing ‘indecent’ knee-length skirt in Sudan,” from the Daily Mail, November 27 (thanks to Alexandre): A 16-year-old Sudanese girl was lashed 50 times after a judge ruled her knee-length skirt was […]

Imam misunderstands Islam, asks, “What is wrong with Sharia law? If someone steals…why is it wrong to cut off his hand?”

Nov 19, 2009 6:06 am By Robert Spencer

If someone in America points out that such punishments are part of Sharia, he is derided as an ignorant “Islamophobe.” But the Koran is clear: “As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.” — […]

Raids in Indonesia: Drugs? Terrorism? Smuggling? Nah — sexy Halloween costumes

Nov 5, 2009 3:11 am By Robert Spencer

This latest There Is No Fun In Islam* Update comes from modern, moderate Indonesia, where they have found a marvelous accord between Islamic tradition and modern sensibilities: “Sexy Costumes Spark Halloween Raids in Indonesia’s Kalimantan,” from the Jakarta Globe, November 2 (thanks to all who sent this in): A Halloween party in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, […]

Kuwait: Court rules hijab optional for female members of parliament

Nov 5, 2009 12:02 am By Marisol Seibold

An update on this story. The court decided to uphold the constitution, despite pressure to ignore it in favor of Sharia (which sure seems to be happening in a lot of places lately). Not that this will stop Islamist legislators from harping on the issue in the future. “Court rules hijab optional for MPs,” by […]

Somalia: Misunderstanders of Islam ban musical ringtones on phones

Nov 4, 2009 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

It’s funny how those who point out that Islamic law forbids music are branded as “Islamophobes” by Muslims in the West, whereas in Somalia the Muslims themselves seem to be “Islamophobic”: “We don’t allow anything that goes against our religion, especially music,” said Sheikh Hassan Yaqub, apparently a serious Misunderstander of Islam. There Is No […]

Pakistan: Jihadists blow up high school for girls

Nov 2, 2009 12:06 am By Marisol Seibold

It is fairly common to see the tribal regions of Pakistan described as “lawless,” as this story does. But while the central government may not have meaningful authority in the area, it is not lawlessness, per se, that is the issue. Instead, it is the imposition by force of Sharia law. “Militants blow up Pakistan […]

UK: College bars Muslim student for wearing face veil

Oct 24, 2009 9:43 pm By Robert Spencer

“All members of the college community should be identifiable at all times when in the college.” A reasonable statement. But it is likely that the forces of multiculturalism will soon prevent such commensensical positons from being taken. “College Bars Muslim Student For Wearing Veil,” from SkyNews, October 24 (thanks to all who sent this in): […]

Muslim convert to Christianity wins asylum, but she can’t be found

Oct 24, 2009 4:21 pm By Robert Spencer

We can only hope that she is safe. And now that some U.S. officials have taken seriously the threat that an apostate is under, can Rifqa Bary get some consideration? Or is it too late for that? “Asylum seeker realized her dream but now is missing,” by Duke Helfand for the Los Angeles Times, October […]

Obama adviser: “When we ask people what can Muslims do to help themselves, one of the most frequent responses is for them to unify and another is for them to follow Islam and make it a greater and more authentic part of their lives”

Oct 21, 2009 4:37 am By Robert Spencer

I wrote here about Obama adviser Dalia Mogahed’s pro-Sharia appearance on a Hizb ut-Tahrir television show in Britain. Now, in “Does Sharia Law Promote Women’s Rights?” in FrontPage (October 20), Cinnamon Stillwell reveals even more about the deceptions, half-truths and soothing fictions about women’s rights under Sharia that Mogahed and Nazreen Nawaz peddled on that […]

Cantoni): Baghdad (AsiaNews) -For the past ten days, no one has been able to drink or buy alcoholic beverages in Najaf because of a bylaw adopted by local authorities. […]

Saudi Arabia: 70 lashes for text messages

Oct 20, 2009 4:18 am By Robert Spencer

Couldn’t she just have put him on her blocked list? Isn’t a sentence of 70 lashes rather severe in this case? Maybe, but it is not out of sync with the draconian character of Sharia in general. Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: “181 love messages = 70 flogs,” by Abdullah […]

Maldives: Misunderstanders of Islam call for amputation for thieves and death for apostates

Oct 18, 2009 5:29 am By Robert Spencer

Wait a minute. Can we get Michael Kruse on this? How about Meredith Heagney? Or maybe even Honest Ibe Hooper and Brave Ahmed Rehab of CAIR? I mean, don’t these people know that Islam doesn’t call for the killing of apostates? Where is M. Cherif Bassiouni when you need him? “Parliament takes on revised penal […]

Deluxe dhimmitude: Mercedes-Benz offering Sharia loans in Middle East

Oct 18, 2009 5:19 am By Robert Spencer

“Mercedes-Benz is hoping to increase its presence in the lucrative Middle-Eastern market by establishing a pair of financial firms that are fully compliant with the specific regulations of Islamic law, or Sharia.” What’s wrong with that? They’re just trying to do business, right? Two things are wrong with that. One is that opening the door […]

“You can’t teach the Ten Commandments in public schools. But teaching the five pillars of Islam is A-OK.”

Oct 16, 2009 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

A few weeks old, but still current — the stealth jihad to whitewash Islam and propagate it in the public schools still continues. “Schoolhouse Shariah,” from Investor’s Business Daily, September 24 (thanks to Allyson): Multiculturalism: California’s educrats have put out new rules for teaching Islamic studies to seventh-graders in public schools, and they are as […]

A pleasant workhorse of a wine, Abu Mohammed’s latest home-made vintage has fruity aromas and a core flavor of apples. He also offers a range of styles from minimal oak and bright fruit, to heavy oak or butter styles that go with a wide range of food, from hors d’oeuvres and salads to light meats […]

Spencer: Obama Adviser Loves Sharia

Oct 15, 2009 2:16 am By Robert Spencer

In the featured article at Human Events Tuesday I discussed the disturbing case of Dalia Mogahed, Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs (who is his adviser on Christian affairs)? Dalia Mogahed, Barack Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs, appeared on British television last week, where she said: “Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith […]
