“The inventors and purveyors of ‘Islamophobia’ have succeeded beyond their dreams in silencing criticism of Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 17, 2019 01:00 pm

By Robert Spencer on Jan 17, 2019 10:22 am

It is likely that what Mohammed Zuraibi Alzoabi is accused of doing is not a crime in Saudi Arabia. After all, one survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be […]
