Islamic State beheads four children for refusing to convert to Islam
DECEMBER 9, 2014 11:26 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
Islam forbids forced conversion — “There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256). However, what is considered “forced” is more elastic than the Western view. Muhammad is represented in a hadith as saying that Muslims should take up arms against non-Muslims who refuse to convert or submit: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make […]

DECEMBER 9, 2014 10:08 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER4 COMMENTS
“Rights groups say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating their interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, stealing and blasphemy.” Actually, there is no established version of Islamic law that does not call for such punishments, despite the […]

According to Mina Thabet, founder of the People’s Initiative Party, cases of Coptic abduction and ransoming against huge sums of money are on the rise in the Minya Governorate of Upper Egypt—proving to be a lucrative “business” for “thugs and terrorists” of the Islamic persuasion in an area that is “at an all-time low and […]

Islamic State releases pamphlet justifying sex slavery of infidel women
DECEMBER 8, 2014 4:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER34 COMMENTS
The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and […]

DECEMBER 8, 2014 3:21 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
“My views, however, cannot be changed by a prison sentence or by persecution. I still believe that Islam often stands in opposition to human rights and women’s rights. I believe that the Qur’an relays that Muhammad demanded death for non-believers….” Waleed Al Husseini better be careful with talk like that. He’s in the Daily Beast […]

Three US Muslim teens are caught trying to join the Islamic State
DECEMBER 9, 2014 10:40 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER5 COMMENTS
This story and the FBI are pushing the claim that Mohammed Hamzah Khan was “radicalized” on the Internet, and that his parents are shocked, bewildered and saddened by his attempt to join the Islamic State. Presumably the Islam they taught him, as far as the Washington Post and the feds are concerned, was moderate, patriotic, […]

DECEMBER 9, 2014 9:45 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
During the attack he was making “Islamic-type statements,” and after he was shot, he asked for his Qur’an, which had dropped out of his pocket. Nothing to see here. Just another random Qur’an-toting mentally ill man stabbing a police officer after telling his family he was going out and not coming back. Remember that the […]

Taliban indoctrinates kids with jihadist textbooks paid for by the U.S.
DECEMBER 8, 2014 3:43 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS
In the 1980s, the State Department foreign policy establishment thought that they could use jihadis against the Soviet Union, and win their gratitude as they aided their struggle to be free from the Soviet yoke. The State Department’s thinking has not changed much since then; the foreign policy “experts” still underestimate the global jihad and […]

Montreal: Muslim arrested on terror charges after arriving from Tunisia
DECEMBER 8, 2014 2:49 PM BY ROBERT SPENCERLEAVE A COMMENT
“He was to be arraigned Monday afternoon for perpetrating a hoax regarding terrorist activity..” A hoax: perhaps he was hoping to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Man arrested on terror charges after arriving in Canada from Tunisia,” QMI Agency, December 8, 2014: MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police arrested […]
