He allegedly robbed a convenience store in order to get enough money to
go overseas and join the jihad. “The boy told the officers that he had
been living in sin as his country did not practise Sharia law.” What do
Canadian authorities, and authorities all over the West, think all this
is going to […]

While Western leaders confidently and repeatedly assert that the
Islamic State is un-Islamic and has nothing to do with Islam, Islamic
State jihadis present themselves as the exponents of “the real Islam,”
and make recruits among peaceful Muslims by doing so. Obama, Cameron and
the rest are foolish to ignore this, for all their complacent […]

Attieh calls the Israeli ambassador “that pig, the descendent of apes
and pigs.” That is from the Qur’an, which says that Allah transformed
disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166). Anyway,
note the irony: Westerners who agree with Attieh’s perspective consider
themselves to be loving and tolerant, while branding those who oppose
this […]

Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Muhammad married a
child or that Islamic law sanctions child marriage. Stories like these
show that they’re lying. In reality, few things are more abundantly
attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage.
Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six
when Muhammad […]

In FrontPage I discuss Representative Brad Sherman’s great idea: we
should combat the Islamic State ideology. Indeed so, but he demonstrates
that he holds a key (and common) false assumption. Congressman Brad
Sherman (D-CA) had a great idea
Tuesday: the U.S. needs to combat the Islamic State not just militarily, but ideologically. Speaking at a congressional hearing, he […]

The mosque’s management is accused of “promoting ISIL values and
encouraging young Muslims in the city to travel to Syria and Iraq, and
join the ranks of the group, along with Al-Nusra Front.” Egyptian Human
Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan recently said that the Islamic State and
Boko Haram are following the Qur’an doing “what the […]

These are the clowns who ordered The Koran for Dummies and Islam for
Dummies from Amazon, a factoid that has been seized upon by apologists
for Islam including Mehdi Hasan and Karen Armstrong as evidence that
Muslims going to Syria and Iraq to join the jihad don’t really know
anything about Islam, and are motivated […]

Thursday,

otherwise of paying a ransom to Al Qaeda for American hostage Luke
Somers. 2) American schoolteacher, mother of two, Ibolya Ryan stabbed to
death in Abu Dhabi by woman in burka. […]

Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or enslaving them, as
well as killing them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the
Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the
amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four
possibilities: the first to put them […]

Now the Islamic group says it was all a misunderstanding, and that he
could have sat with her had he wished. But what about everyone else?
“Ticket order forms for the event on Charity Week’s website featured
separate boxes for ‘sisters’ and ‘brothers.’” Prominent people like
Thomas may have been able to avoid the Sharia […]

In response, Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee member Sheik Sayyed Zaid doesn’t —
at least in this clip — respond to the Qur’an verses that Harqan
quotes. Instead, he just claims that the Islamic State is a Jewish plot.
“Egyptian Human Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan: ISIS Is Doing what the
Prophet Muhammad Did,” MEMRI, n.d.: In an […]
