A racist and Islamic supremacist purge in the making, in line with Sudanese president Bashir’s plans for the intensified imposition of Sharia and cultural and linguistic Arabization: “Sudanese people in the north with any parents, grandparents or great grandparents born in the South Sudan or belong to any southern ethnic group are considered that country’s […]
Human Rights Commission of Pakistan: 20 to 25 Hindu girls forcibly converted to Islam each month
Qur’an 2:256 says there is “no compulsion in religion,” but there is plenty of coercion in Islamic law. Sharia is set up in its dealings with non-Muslims to pressure them to convert through marginalization, punishment, humiliation, fear, and danger (cf. Qur’an 9:29). There are also innumerable opportunities for semantic games and rationalizations; above all, those […]
Shocker: Egyptian army acquits army doctor over “virginity tests” on female protesters
The “tests” were nothing but state-sponsored sexual assaults to terrorize and blackmail protesters, to make an example of them and frighten other women into staying home. The “results” could be used as another way to write off the army’s female opponents as women of ill repute, and set them up for suspicion, ostracism, and potentially […]
Iran’s Thug-in-Chief: “As God is my witness, we do not give a damn about your bombs”
We figured as much, President Pottymouth.

Tunisia: Women march to call for caliphate
They act as though they are going to get ready-made good government in a box if they opt for the caliphate. First, they would need to find a caliph. Beyond that, if they suppose that the caliphate is going to be immune to cronyism, a lack of transparency, misappropriation of resources, and other symptoms of […]
Saudi: Female students boycott classes after “dozens injured” when police turned water cannons on sit-in
You’ll recall that they had the unmitigated gall to have “‘gathered on the campus and [begun] shouting in a way that contradicts’ campus regulations.” The prior report also notes that the religious police were involved in the response. “Saudi women students boycott classes in rare protest,” from Reuters, March 10: JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) – […]
Iraq: “Morality police” stone to death at least 90 young men for “emo” appearance
The number of dead and the brutality of their deaths are staggering, and almost beyond belief. But the report has been picked up by major news organizations, including the Daily Mail.

Ex-Muslim: “My mother wants me dead”
Sabatina James has spoken out before on how virtually no one in the present political establishment is willing to stand up for persecuted Christians, let alone ex-Muslims.
