Texas: Muslim murders his daughter’s Christian husband to recover his honor
By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 04:09 pm

Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men; the Qur’an says: “And chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking lovers.” (5:5) This is generally understood among […]

Tunisia: Muslims hold a barbeque in a Jewish cemetery
By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 03:17 pm

These fellows were just enjoying a pleasant outing, and what better place to do it than in a Jewish cemetery, where they can express their contempt for Jews at the same time? This kind of behavior results from the fact that the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 12:41 pm

All India Faizan-e-Madina Council top dog Moin Siddique Noori said: “Our group will award Rs 11,786 to anyone who stones Nida Khan and shaves their heads and scares them away from India.” That’s about $170.

India: Muslims lynch Hindu man for having affair with Muslim girl
By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 12:25 pm

The Qur’an forbids Muslim women to marry “polytheistic men” unless they convert to Islam: “And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 12:00 pm

In yet another serious blow to its credibility, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) listed two jihad terrorists, Omar Mateen and Luqman Abdullah, on its “Terror from the Right” list of “right-wing terrorists.” Now they have quietly dropped Mateen and Abdullah from this list, but the fact that they were on it in the first […]

Somalia: Father defends FGM after his daughter dies from it, can’t be criminalized because people think it’s Islamic
By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 11:04 am

“Efforts to criminalise FGM in Somalia have been stalled by politicians, who fear it will alienate voters who believe it is a religious requirement.” This is noteworthy. We are constantly told by the establishment media, and even by anti-FGM campaigners in the U.S., that the practice has nothing to do with Islam. Those who insist […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 10:35 am

Rouhani had said: “America should know that war with Iran is the mother of all wars.” The learned analysts are in an uproar today over Trump’s “provocative” language — as if the Iranian mullahs weren’t already provoked. They have been indulging in threatening and saber-rattling rhetoric against the United States for years. The political and […]

Toronto: Gunman fires into restaurants, murders 2, wounds 12, cops don’t rule out terrorism motive
By Robert Spencer on Jul 23, 2018 10:19 am

Terrorism is not ruled out, so jihad is also not ruled out, but this could be some lone nut. Toronto Councilor Paula Fletcher says “it’s not gang related,” but it’s unclear at this point how she knows that. In this story, authorities seem to be favoring the “emotionally disturbed” explanation, which has often been a […]
