Alcohol is considered haram in Islam (Quran 2:219, 4:43 and 5:90-91). The “booze bombings” have, however, sparked discussions about whether they are because of “turf wars for control of the lucrative niche trade in the Muslim majority country,” or are the work of Sharia morality police. “Most businesses are run by Christians or Yazidis, minorities […]

Becoming Craig Considine
Rice University sociologist Craig Considine has studied Arabic for three years, but his “Arabic is not sharp at the moment” and he does not normally interact with Arabs, he stated in a December 5 podcast. Such comments provoke suspicions about the credentials of this previously examined, self-proclaimed “Islamic apologist,” who spoke at the end of […]
Canada: UAE cleric dropped from speaker list at Muslim convention featuring Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups
The United Arab Emirates Fatwa Council head, Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, a prominent Islamic scholar and politician, has either withdrawn or was disinvited from speaking at one of the largest Islamic conventions in North America: Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS). Bin Bayyah has been a preeminent guest speaker at RIS in the past, but for […]
Greece: Muslim migrant arrested for drugging and raping two teen minors
This latest news from Greece is an add-on to frequent news stories about Pakistani rape gangs, which have become horrifyingly commonplace in Britain, even as the British government claims that most of the perpetrators are white. The Qur’anic ideas (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50) that infidel girls can be taken at will and that women are […]
Pakistan: New law establishes special courts to conclude trials speedily of people charged with rape
In a move that will be believed when seen, given Pakistan’s jihadist, Islamic supremacist and abusive reputation, “Pakistan has installed a new law requiring the establishment of special courts to speedily conclude trials of people charged with raping women or children, a move hailed by rights activists.” Rape cases in Pakistan “could drag on for […]
Biden In No Hurry to Rejoin the Iran Deal?
Although it seems too good to be true, Israel Hayom reports that some of President-elect Biden’s advisers do not want him to simply lift sanctions and reenter the JCPOA, the flawed nuclear deal, with Iran. Apparently Biden’s original Iran strategy amounted to plucking defeat from the jaws of victory, by lifting those most effective, because […]
Sweden: 5,460 of 7,000 of Afghan ‘child migrants’ were actually adults, only 68 out of 7,000 have jobs
Immigration in the West, particularly in globalist-led countries, has evolved into a free-for-all with no expectations whatsoever placed upon the migrants themselves. What once constituted a two-way street in immigration policy and law for potential immigrants has now become a “human right” for migrants, no matter what their backgrounds are. Even those who lied on […]
Trump administration slaps sanctions on Turkey over purchase of Russian S-400 missile system
Erdogan brokered a deal “reportedly worth $2.5 billion with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the S-400 missile system.” Turkey was also warned by NATO. Turkey has consistently been a rogue member of NATO that poses a security threat, not only due to its missile deal with Russia, but also because of its tightening alliance with […]
Tennessee Lawyer Fired for Saying Islam Isn’t a Peaceful Religion
My latest in PJ Media: It’s the sort of thing that can make someone proud to be an American: Two Christians are on trial now in Algeria for “insulting the prophet and denigrating the precepts of the Muslim religion.” Imagine: on trial for expressing opinions that go against those of the elites. But that could […]
Macron: ‘It isn’t the law of Islam that applies, it’s the law of the people, and I’m not going to change it for you’
Yet Macron continues to welcome into France large numbers of Muslim migrants, among whom are some who believe that it is wrong to follow “the law of the people” rather than “the law of Islam,” which they believe comes from Allah himself. Those migrants, and Muslims who are already in France who believe the same […]
