Forced marriage is illegal under Islamic law: the bride’s consent must be obtained. However, the idea of “consent” is a bit elastic: “Narrated `Aisha: I asked the Prophet, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘A virgin, if asked, feels shy and […]

Supporters of accused moderate Muslim rapist Tariq Ramadan blame charges on “Zionist plot”
Of course. What else could possibly account for these rape and sexual assault claims? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); […]
Germany: Muslim migrant arrested, “major terrorist attack” averted
Remember: anyone who opposes mass Muslim migration into Germany is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “German police arrest Syrian suspect, avert ‘major terrorist attack,’” Reuters, October 31, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): BERLIN (Reuters) – German police arrested a 19-year-old Syrian suspected of planning an Islamist-motivated bomb attack in Germany with the aim of […]
Robert Spencer invited to speak at Stanford, Left-fascists in an uproar
Here is an article, unusually even-handed for a campus paper, about my planned appearance at Stanford. The headline refers to “Controversial Islam critic Robert Spencer.” Yes, “controversial,” but why? Why should it be remotely controversial to oppose jihad mass murder and the Sharia oppression of women, gays, non-Muslims, etc.? Shouldn’t anyone in his or her […]
Canada: Muslim murders wife, defense says he has “mental health issues”
Of course. Muslims who commit acts of violence always have mental health issues. But he said she was cheating on him and planning to leave him. That brings us into the realms of honor killing. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi […]
Third accuser: Tariq Ramadan gave her Islamic religious advice, then sexually assaulted her
No one should be surprised by this. Tariq Ramadan is extremely clever and sophisticated, and has fooled a great deal of the Western intelligentsia for years, but he is also a pious, believing Muslim. In Islam, it is the woman’s responsibility to cover herself and thereby remove the man’s temptation. If she fails to do […]
“You infidel! You pig!” Muslim attacks priest in German supermarket
Welcome to Merkel’s Germany! Why did the police decline to act, and the bystanders remain silent? No doubt because they were afraid of charges of “Islamophobia.” How much of this thuggish behavior is going to be tolerated before people decide that maybe defending their rights and insisting on decent conduct is not “bigotry”? Meanwhile, while […]
Minnesota: Left-fascists who violently assaulted anti-Sharia marchers get light sentences
You have to read this report from Minnesota Lawyer carefully in order to tell, but all of the people who were sentenced here were Leftists who gratuitously attacked the anti-Sharia demonstrators. “The brawling began, records indicate, when a counterdemonstrator identified as Drew Albert Cleland, 31, of Big Lake, took a flying leap and delivered a […]
UK: Father of Islamic State jihadi says his son was “radicalized” on Twitter
Afzal Suleman would apparently have us believe that he raised Shabazz Suleman to be a good “moderate,” rejecting “extremism,” until he encountered “radicals” on Twitter who “brainwashed” him. Why wasn’t the “moderate” Islam he supposedly learned from kind old Afzal sufficient to withstand the blandishments of the sinister Twitter hijackers of Islam? I doubt British […]
Spain: Four Muslim migrants arrested for gang rape of tourist at Canary Islands resort
The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their […]
