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

Proof in the heart of the Muslim world: Veiling does not gain women more respect

Dec 16, 2009 12:02 am By Marisol Seibold

Even in niqabs, they are verbally and physically harassed. This occurs despite the enthusiasm of Naomi Wolf and similar enablers for the supposedly “liberating” aspects of the ironically ostentatious “modesty” of Islamic attire… all of which could arguably be achieved in the West with, say, conventional church-friendly attire, unless one is going for anonymity, or […]

Ohio judge says forced Islamic marriage for convert to Christianity is invalid

Nov 29, 2009 4:43 am By Robert Spencer

Her father tried to assault her after he learned that she had converted to Christianity. One may hope that Ohio authorities handling the Rifqa Bary case are taking careful note of this case. “Judge: Christian’s ‘arranged’ Islamic marriage invalid: Muslim father allegedly assaulted daughter after learning of her conversion,” by Bob Unruh for World Net […]

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 […]

At least 90% of women in Lebanon have been victims of physical or psychological abuse

Nov 25, 2009 9:10 am By Robert Spencer

Christian women in Lebanon ought to have advocates to defend them. Muslim women ought to as well, but it is more difficult for them because of the divine sanction given to wife-beating (Koran 4:34). “Violence Against Women: Lebanon; 90% Victim Of Abuse,” from ANSAmed, November 25 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – BEIRUT, NOVEMBER 25 – […]

Modern, moderate, secular Turkey: 42% of women targets of violence

Nov 25, 2009 12:29 am By Robert Spencer

“Men shall take full care of women with the bounties which God has bestowed more abundantly on the former than on the latter, and with what they may spend out of their possessions. And the righteous women are the truly devout ones, who guard the intimacy which God has guarded. And as for those women […]

Speaking of child marriage: “Man charged with statutory rape in ‘marriage’ to 14-year-old girl,” by Christine Vendel for The Kansas City Star, November 8 (thanks to Axel): Vincent Mosby signed a marriage contract and paid a dowry in a religious ceremony in August, police said. Mosby, 23, of Kansas City didn’t legally wed his 14-year-old […]

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: Islamic supremacists murder Christian woman for refusing to wear veil

Oct 29, 2009 9:44 am By Robert Spencer

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab […]

Selective outrage: Islamic world fuming over German who murdered hijab-wearing woman

Oct 28, 2009 7:41 am By Robert Spencer

The photo above is from a protest in Istanbul. Note the flag following the coffin, featuring the swastika and the Star of David. What does demonizing Israel have to do with this case? Why, nothing — but it is all part of the larger jihad against the West. The selectivity of the outrage here is […]

Iran: Grand Ayatollah misunderstands Islam, thinks Koran forbids women to hold governing roles

Oct 15, 2009 10:13 am By Robert Spencer

Isn’t it amazing that someone presumably as well informed about Islam as the Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpayghani could actually be a Misunderstander of Islam? But it’s true! Somehow he has missed how the Koran provides for “gender justice,” and has gotten the crazy idea that women in governing roles would be contrary to Sharia. […]

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 […]

Attempt to strengthen laws on violence against women runs up against Sharia

Oct 9, 2009 2:27 pm By Robert Spencer

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence Against Women (CEDAW) is essentially a dead letter in Islamic countries, because of Sharia — and the Koran’s command to beat disobedient women (4:34). “Human Rights vs. Sharia: Violence Against Women,” by Valentina Colombo for Hudson NY, October 5: The great irony of the recent […]
