By Robert Spencer on Jun 23, 2015 07:06 pm

Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim […]

By Robert Spencer on Jun 23, 2015 06:46 pm

Jihadis frequently tell us how much they love death. Austrian Muslim teenage girls who recently traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love […]

Court quashes Muslim mother’s bid to sue France for letting son join jihad
By Robert Spencer on Jun 23, 2015 02:22 pm

She did not sue the local mosque. She did not sue the people who told her son that killing Infidels would please Allah.

Even though the tomb of Sheikh Mohammed Ali was a Muslim shrine, the Islamic State considers destroying it to be its Islamic duty.

Obama laments “distorted impression” many Americans have of Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Jun 23, 2015 11:22 am

Obama said: “Here in America, many people personally don’t know someone who is Muslim. They mostly hear about Muslims in the news — and that can obviously lead to a very distorted impression.” The idea that Americans have a “distorted impression” of Muslims because they don’t know any Muslims personally is a condescending talking point […]

Spain: Muslim who tried to join the jihad in Syria to be tried
By Robert Spencer on Jun 23, 2015 10:33 am

Ramadan in Nigeria: Female jihad suicide bomber murders 30 at crowded mosque that wasn’t Islamic enough

Why would Boko Haram target a mosque? Most likely because Boko Haram has declared its […]
