Saudi groom divorces bride during their wedding after seeing her face for the first time
In Islamic law, women are essentially commodities. A husband can discard his wife at will, with no penalty or responsibility. “Saudi husband tells his bride he wants a divorce during their wedding after seeing her face for the first time when the photographer asked them to pose for pictures,” by Matthew Blake, Daily Mail, November […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on Obama, Assad and the Islamic State
On Thursday evening I made my regular weekly appearance on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show, discussing Obama’s bizarre and ridiculous plan to fight the Islamic State by toppling Bashar Assad.
Islamic State crucifies senior member who was accused of embezzling funds and theft
He must have been accused of more than just theft, the penalty for which in Sharia is amputation of the hand (Qur’an 5:38). Or perhaps the scale of his thefts and embezzlement made it eligible to be considered as spreading corruption in the land — and one of the Qur’anic penalties for that is crucifixion. […]
Pakistan: Muslim murders his daughter, has no remorse, was “compelled to kill her as she wanted to marry for love”
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]
Muslims in France “far likelier to espouse anti-Semitic views than the general population”
Could this have something to do with the fact that the Qur’an says that the Jews will be the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82)? Naaah. Couldn’t be. To think such a thing would be “Islamophobic.” “French Muslims see Jews controlling nation’s economy, media,” JTA, November 16, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): (JTA) — New […]
Germany: Muslims rob churches to support the Islamic State
“The suspects didn’t only break into churches and schools. They also raise money supposedly for humanitarian causes directly from clueless German citizens.” These “clueless German citizens” could be Muslims who knew full well to what they were contributing, or else bemused Leftists happy to contribute to “humanitarian relief” for Syria and Iraq. Anyway, these Muslims […]
“Norway, may God forgive you for being responsible for my death”
After Spain decided to deport ex-Muslim human rights activist Imran Firasat to a Muslim country, where he would face certain death, he fled to Norway — but instead of giving him refuge, Norwegian authorities sent him back to Spain. Imran Firasat is guilty of nothing but insulting Islam, which is ostensibly not (yet) a crime […]
Obama: Islamic State’s “actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own”
“Least of all.” So apparently it is far more likely that the beheading of Abdul-Rahman Kassig represented the Buddhist faith, or the Baptist faith, or the Jain faith, or the Methodist faith, than that it represented the Muslim faith. This is despite the fact that the man who actually beheaded Kassig stood over his severed […]
Iran TV airs Muslim cleric’s threats to raze Tel Aviv, target US bases
You would almost think that it wasn’t a Religion of Peace at all, but that would be “Islamophobic.” “Iran TV airs cleric’s threats to raze Tel Aviv, target US bases,” by Justin Jalil, Times of Israel, November 16, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): In a sermon carried on state TV, an Iranian cleric threatened that […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 6 Failed Policies Obama Won’t Stop Pushing
In PJ Media today, I discuss entrenched false beliefs that lead to repeated foreign policy errors: Presidents come and presidents go, but the State Department’s foreign policy establishment is forever. And no matter how many times its remedies fail to heal problems (and usually cause worse ones), it keeps on applying them, without an ounce […]
U.S. prison was ‘terrorist university’ for Islamic State
This is because the U.S. does nothing in these prisons to try to change the mindset of the prisoners. The guards treat the Qur’an, which is of course distributed to all the prisoners, with exaggerated reverence. Any attempt to change their way of thinking would immediately be denounced by groups such as the terrorist organization […]
Nigeria: Female jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders 8 at market
Female jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers are often women who have been caught in or suspected of zina — the Islamic legal term for sexual immorality of various kinds. They are told that they can redeem their family’s honor and also win a place in Paradise by murdering Infidels and getting killed in the process. “Woman suicide […]
Ibn Warraq speaks at Yale
(Editor’s note: The renowned scholar of Islam recently spoke at Yale. Here is an outline of the talk he gave. — RS) First, I should like to thank The William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at Yale for inviting me. I should also like to thank my friends and colleagues whose ideas have profoundly influenced what […]
