Honor killing in Pakistan: Muslim hacks wife, daughter to death on suspicion of infidelity
Many Muslim countries have relaxed penalties for honor killing, and Islamic clerics have resisted efforts to stiffen those penalties. Yet we are constantly told that honor killing has nothing to do with Islam. “Killer of wife, daughter arrested,” from The News International, January 19 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): GHAZIABAD police on Tuesday arrested an accused […]
Pakistan: Misunderstanders of Islam bomb school, killing two and wounding 14, including seven children
Because they oppose women’s education, you see. They think it is immoral. Murdering children in cold blood, as far as they’re concerned, is not only not immoral, it is a holy and meritorious act, if it stops the greater immorality of women’s education. “Bomb attack on school in Peshawar, two killed and 14 wounded, seven […]
UK: Muslim threatened to kill his cousin and harm her family because she stopped wearing hijab
Here is yet more indication of why we don’t see more secular Muslims and sincere Islamic reformers.

Major Islamic summit in Abu Dhabi condemns West’s “Islamophobia”
“Islam with its principles and values has become a target that is mixed with terrorism in a lot of Western circles.” Yet again, for the umpteenth time, we see Islamic spokesmen blithely ignore how Islamic jihadists use “Islam with its principles and values” to explain and justify their terrorist acts. They continue to push the […]
Pakistan: Police murder Christian, threaten to kill father if he doesn’t withdraw charges against them
This kind of thing happens because Pakistan’s blasphemy laws give some the idea that they can act against Christians with impunity. “Pakistani Police Allegedly Make Threats after Murdering Christian,” from Compass Direct News, January 18: KARACHI, Pakistan, January 18 (CDN) — Pakistani police are threatening the father of an 18-year-old Christian man whom officers raped, […]
Somalia: Misunderstanders of Islam murder mother of four for apostasy
We’re told again and again in the West that there is no death penalty in Islam for apostasy, and that those who think otherwise are greasy Islamophobes. Unfortunately, a persistent group of Muslims refuses to get the memo. And in reality, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam and supreme example of conduct for the Muslim (cf. […]
