Islamic State justifies using child executioners by invoking Muhammad’s example
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 05:42 pm

Will one of the Muslim groups that has denounced the Islamic State kindly explain how the Islamic State is misrepresenting Muhammad’s example here, and why it is wrong on Islamic grounds to use children as jihadi executioners? I thought not. “Islamic State’s Propaganda Magazine Justifies Use Of Child Executioners,” by Joanna Paraszczuk, Radio Free Europe/Radio […]

Bangladesh: Killers of atheist “think they have done a very good job for their religion”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 04:57 pm

Is anyone in the free world who has power and influence going to stand up and denounce this savagery, and offer a defense of the freedom of speech, explaining why submission to Sharia blasphemy laws not only encourages this kind of barbarism, but paves the way to tyranny? Almost certainly not. “Bangladesh Killings Send Chilling […]

Spain police arrest family: children were to join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 03:49 pm

“The statement said the two minors had left school in Spain to study the Quran in Morocco.” Now wait a minute. They studied Qur’an and then wanted to join the Islamic State? But…but…everyone knows that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam! How could these boys have misunderstood the Qur’an so spectacularly and […]

Russia: Fatwa denounces Islamic State, says its members should be killed
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 03:37 pm

It is telling that the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Russia recommends that Islamic State members should be killed — apparently it takes for granted the Sharia death penalties for heresy and apostasy. Also, this is still more window dressing to lull the Infidels into complacency, as I show in my comments below. “Russian Muslims denounce […]

UK: Muslim women abused under Sharia courts
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 02:53 pm

“I feel betrayed by Britain. I came here to get away from this and the situation is worse here than in the country I escaped from.” She has every reason to feel betrayed. Instead of insisting that Muslims in Britain renounce polygamy (sanctioned by Qur’an 4:3), the beating of disobedient women (sanctioned by Qur’an 4:34), […]

Muslim Youth League UK declares jihad against the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 31, 2015 02:37 pm

“Our efforts are aimed at deterring further ISIS recruitment in Britain and defending the Muslim community, who feel their religion has been hijacked.” Stopping Islamic State recruitment in the West is just what we have not seen from Muslims who condemn the Islamic State, so that’s all to the good.

Still, no one in the West seems to believe that they mean what they say. “Iran militia chief: Destroying Israel is ‘nonnegotiable,” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, March 31, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): The commander of the Basij militia of Iran’s […]
