Nigeria: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” murder 55 Christians, burn Christian-owned homes and shops
By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2018 03:31 pm

Reality is, as is so often the case, quite different. “Dozens of Christians Killed in Muslim Attack on Market in Kaduna State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 22, 2018: Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslims attacked a market in Kaduna state, in north-central […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2018 12:15 pm

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now.

Feel the love: “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 22, 2018 11:00 am

Listening to the radio, I heard with alarm several people on a talk show describe Nadia Murad as a “Yazidi Muslim.” She is not a Muslim. She must never be thought of as a Muslim. She is a Yazidi, a small religious sect with roots in Kurdistan and Armenia, that has always been the object […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2018 10:57 am

Of course. Polygamy is allowed in the Qur’an (4:3). Thus for a believing and informed Muslim there can be no dissent from this. The fact that it reduces women to commodities and has been a source of untold misery over the centuries is immaterial. “Saudi cleric says it’s haram for women to be angered by […]

UK: Muslim Tesco worker sues chain for $26,000, claiming that work colleague broke wind in his face
By Robert Spencer on Oct 22, 2018 09:34 am

Islamic advocacy groups in the UK and the US, along with their media allies, would have you believe that Muslims in both countries are victims of discrimination and harassment on a massive scale. Hence there are university and sometimes even government studies of “Islamophobia.” But behind such claims, we find that Jews are vastly more […]
