Both Sunni and Shi’ite Islam teach that the lives of non-Muslims are not worth as much as the lives of Muslims. Reliance of the Traveller, a classic Sunni manual of Islamic sacred law, explains matter-of-factly that “the indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The […]
Pakistan: Armed Muslim gang attacks church, tears down a cross, leaves Christians “terrified”
Just another day for Christians in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Nothing to see here: no “Islamophobia” was committed, so all is well. The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be the perfect word of an omniscient […]
Pakistan: Muslim hacks his sister to death with an axe for contracting a love marriage
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a […]
Pakistan’s bid to set up group on “Islamophobia” at United Nations foiled
“The United Arab Emirates and the Maldives together thwarted a Pakistani attempt to set up an informal group of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) envoys at the United Nations on Islamophobia.” However, they did this not because they believe in the freedom of speech or reject the “Islamophobia” propaganda initiative, but because they believe that […]
Pakistan: Muslims murder brother-in-law of accused blasphemer Asia Bibi
When Asia Bibi was exonerated of the blasphemy charges that had kept her in prison on death row for eight years, Muslims all over Pakistan demonstrated and some even began hunting for her house to house, hoping to find and murder her. Now her brother-in-law has been murdered. They couldn’t get to her, so they’re […]
UN top dog says countering “Islamophobia” is his “top priority”
“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong […]
After India helped Bangladesh gain independence from Pakistan, Muslims have repeatedly brutalized Hindus there
In 1947, India was divided on religious lines to form Islamic Pakistan and secular India. Pakistan was made up of two widely separated parts. People of West Pakistan and East Pakistan spoke different languages, Urdu and Bengali. Nevertheless, the Bengali Muslims wanted to join Pakistan, because for them, brotherhood among Muslims was and is paramount. […]
Ramadan in Pakistan: Yet another Hindu couple forcibly converted to Islam
Yet another Hindu couple has been forcibly converted to Islam in Pakistan, this time in the city of Nawabshah in the province of Sindh. According to the international news sites ‘Devdiscourse’ and ‘ANI’, local media have reported that Imam Hamid Qadri solicited the forced conversion in a mosque on Friday; with the leader of the […]
Pakistan: Muslim leader kidnaps Hindu boy, demands his conversion to Islam as ransom for releasing him
The guiding principle here is that the Islamic community must always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. If that is accomplished, then whatever coercion is employed to achieve that end is justified. “There is no compulsion in religion,” says the Qur’an (2:256), but this kind of action is not generally considered to be […]
Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Two teen girls killed for honor by cousin over 52-second video of them with young man

Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now.
