Sharia stipulates that homosexuality is punishable by death, and this punishment is still implemented in many Sharia states. Days ago in Indonesia, two gay men pleaded for mercy as they were caned 77 times each, after neighbors reported them to the Islamic religious police. The Hadith directs harsh punishment against homosexuals: “The Messenger of Allah […]
Biden administration reverses Trump’s weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, UAE
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy tweeted: But he ignored Iran’s role in the Yemen civil war which started in 2014, “when Houthi insurgents—Shiite rebels with links to Iran and a history of rising up against the Sunni government—took control of Yemen’s capital and largest city.” Weeks ago, Yemen pleaded for the UN, the international community and […]
Canada: House of Commons votes to grant citizenship to Raif Badawi, imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for insulting Islam
All Members of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons voted in favor of a motion to “demand” that jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, whose wife Ensaf Haidar lives in Canada, be given Canadian citizenship. The motion, introduced by the Bloc Québécois, is non-binding, but it puts a moral pressure on Saudi Arabia as it […]
Egyptian government approves draft law to criminalize female genital mutilation
It’s about time. The new draft law criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM) with penalties to up to seven years in prison. This is despite a survey in Egypt, conducted last March, that indicated women approved of FGM more than men do, likely because of their dedication to their Islamic faith. The practice, which many insist […]
Official PA TV: ‘Holocaust was the price Jews paid for their evil behavior…conspiracies and wickedness’
Just in time for the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust 2021, the Palestinian Authority commemorated in their own way. It is peculiar that although Holocaust denial is rampant in the Palestinian territories (and more broadly in the Arab world), and PA President Mahmoud Abbas did his PhD dissertation […]
Israel: Military chief says attack plans against Iran are being revised in light of Biden’s return to nuke deal
In a rare move, Israel’s military chief of staff Lieutenant-General Aviv Kohavi has sent a strong warning in the face of Iran’s imminent nuclear threat to Israel. Kohavi’s warning comes amid Iran’s violation of the nuclear deal, as well as its admitting to violating the deal, as well as its repeated threats and provocations regarding […]
Iran threatens to block UN nuclear site inspections while urging Biden to end sanctions
This should surprise no one. Iran was found quite some time ago to be in violation of the nuclear deal. Then there is its own admission, as well as its recent antics, indicating it has gone rogue. What is a big surprise, however, is how anyone could think Iran under the mullahs can be trusted. […]
American-Israel diplomatic crisis brewing: ‘Nothing to discuss with Biden’ if he returns to Iran deal
“Israeli television on Wednesday reported that Jerusalem is warning an American return to the former terms of the nuclear deal with Iran under President Joe Biden could lead the countries to a crisis in relations.” Obama’s disastrous Iran deal enabled the Islamic Republic of Iran to use the $1,700,000,000 Obama gave it to finance jihad […]
Iran blocks Signal but not WhatsApp, prompting fears Iran has access to user info on WhatsApp
Signal apparently didn’t pass the scrutiny of Iran’s mullahs; WhatsApp apparently offers them a greater ability to see what ordinary Iranians are saying. Meanwhile, this same kind of oversight, surveillance, and blocking of avenues of dissent is coming to Western countries. Shame on the short-sighted and corrupt politicians who are selling out the West’s heritage […]
Pakistani dissident who died in Canada is buried in home village, as troops block access to burial
The circumstances of Karima’s burial in Pakistan indicate that the Pakistani government views her as a threat. Most disturbing are the suspicions that she was murdered, in much the same fashion as Iranian dissidents are who oppose the Iranian regime. The European Foundation for South Asian Studies published an article: The killing of Pakistani dissidents […]
