By Robert Spencer on Feb 13, 2017 02:18 pm

This was simply in accord with Islamic law, as several hadiths have Muhammad saying that if a woman is in front of a man as he is praying, his prayer is invalidated: “Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of ‘Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 13, 2017 08:44 am

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution.” About those refugees who are coming in order to persecute non-Muslims, Vazquez was silent.

He wants to be put to death now so that he can at last claim, as he intended to do the night of his jihad massacre, the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).
