An all too unsurprising update on this story. “Christian women report being assaulted after arrests,” by Michael Carl for World Net Daily, February 4: BOSTON — Saudi Arabian authorities are adding sexual assault to their routine for processing prisoners when they are Christian women, according to a new report that is imploring the international community […]
Saudi women sue over driving ban
They say there is no formal law on the books that forbids women from driving. Not that authorities will respond by saying “Oh, hey, you’re right. Here are the keys. Sorry about that.” It is, if nothing else, a signal to authorities that they are not going away quietly. “Saudi activists sue government over driving […]
Afghanistan: Civilian casualties soar from improved jihadist bombs, coordinated suicide attacks
Where’s the outrage? Imagine if this effort and ingenuity had been put toward something constructive over the past 10 years. But you don’t get 72 virgins for building roads and sewers. “Civilian deaths in Afghanistan at highest level in a decade,” by Ben Farmer for the Telegraph, February 4: The number of civilians killed in […]
“They say, look, the infidels are helping us. Allah has made them mad. He’s brought them into our hands.”
The leftist-jihadist alliance is the gift that keeps on giving… to the jihadists. The leftists may think they can leverage the global victim culture that besets Muslim countries to their advantage, particularly by appropriating it into the Marxist narrative, but do not take into account that their allies for now have their own designs as […]
Netherlands: Muslim politician calls for ban on dogs in the Hague

U.S.: 37 Indonesian Christians to be deported despite fears of persecution

Officially, Indonesia is still modern, moderate, and tolerant, and that’s that. Everything is fine on paper, so everything must be fine in reality. “37 Indonesian Christians to Be Deported […]
Israel warns Iran could attack American Jews inside the U.S.
This report shows again that the supposed distinction between “Jews” and “Zionists” is strictly for cosmetic purposes. Jews are Jews, and infidels are infidels. “Exclusive: Israel Warns US Jews: Iran Could Strike Here,” by Richard Esposito for ABC News, February 3: Israeli facilities in North America — and around the world — are on high […]
India: Muslim leaders’ protests and threats block another author’s event
This is all the more disturbing following a similar recent incident in which a video conference with Salman Rushdie at a literary fair had to be called off. Behavior that is rewarded is repeated, and society will be poorer for it as dissent becomes physically dangerous. “After Muslim protests, Kolkata Book Fair cancels Taslima Nasrin […]
Sudan bombs Bible school
Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir is already wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide and war crimes, and continues to be protected by the Arab League and OIC. “Sudan bombs US-funded Bible school, forcing students, teachers to flee; US condemns attack,” from the Associated Press, February 3: NAIROBI, Kenya “” Sudan’s military bombed […]
Iran: Apostate from Islam sentenced to 2 years in prison
Regardless of the official reasons for her imprisonment, this is about apostasy, and she will almost certainly be hounded for her entire time in prison to recant her conversion to Christianity, as has been the case with Youcef Nadarkhani. Also reminiscent of Nadarkhani’s case is the mountain of charges into which her apostasy has been […]
