The team is predominantly Muslim, but there is at least one non-Muslim player on it, and he is going along, so all is well. The only problem here is that it discourages non-Muslims from playing on the team, and reinforces the ever-reinforced and ultimately Islamic supremacist principle that non-Muslims must accommodate Muslim practices — never […]

Shelter helps abused Muslim women in Kabul? No. In Riyadh? No. Where? In Tulsa.
Question for the Tulsa Muslim community: Why does such a relatively small population need a dedicated Muslim women’s shelter for domestic abuse? Where are husbands getting the idea that good women are obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded, and from those from whom you fear disobedience — oh, wait… “Tulsa shelter helps […]
Iran: Final verdict on woman sentenced to stoning postponed; execution put off until after Ramadan
The delayed execution will likely be taken as a gesture of compassion in some circles, but the Iranian authorities are still toying with the defendant, who doesn’t know if her end will come the day after Ramadan ends, or at any arbitrary point after that, and at this point, whether she will be shot, stoned […]
“We have to build everywhere”: Hamas joins Hamas-linked CAIR in crowing over Ground Zero mega-mosque
A victory mosque — and more are to come: “We have to build everywhere.” Meanwhile, CAIR’s chest-thumping over Obama’s blessing on the mosque is here. “Hamas nod for gz mosque: Terror group’s leader: ‘Have to build it,’” by S.A.

How about that: Holiest month in Religion of Peace brings uptick in jihad attacks in Iraq
A phenomenon we have seen across the Islamic world, and have noted here at Jihad Watch since the site’s inception nearly 7 years ago.

Afghanistan: Clerics twist Karzai’s arm for return to “strict Islamic law”
Sharia, that is. And a disastrous precedent exists in the language of the U.S.-backed, post-Taliban constitution: “No law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam” (Chapter 1, Article 3). Thus, where there is any doubt or conflict in the Afghan government, Islamic law wins by constitutional fiat. What […]
Sam Harris: Ground Zero mega-mosque will be seen “by many millions of Muslims as a victory–and as a sign that the liberal values of the West are synonymous with decadence and cowardice”
In “What Obama Got Wrong About the Mosque,” August 13, Sam Harris breaks with the Leftist pro-Islamic supremacism lockstep that usually prevails at the Daily Beast and offers some common sense about the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero: After weeks of dodging the issue, at a White House Ramadan dinner Friday night, President Obama […]
U.K.: 19-year-old Muslim woman “punched, kicked and assaulted with a broomstick” by parents over Facebook relationship
Qur’an 4:34 states: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, […]
Where will the Ground Zero mega-mosque be? On Ground Zero
This morning Politico has a story entitled “GOP takes harsher stance toward Islam” by Ben Smith and Maggie Haberman about the Republican Party’s alleged slide toward “Islamophobia,” complete with a tut-tutting quote about (what else?) tea parties and bigotry from Honest Ibe Hooper of Hamas-linked CAIR.
