No one seems to mind. After all, Pastor Isima Kimbugwe was violating Islamic law’s prohibition on proselytizing on Muslims, and was arguably engaging in “Islamophobic” activity. So why should the international media and human rights organizations care about what happened to him? “Islamic Extremists Burn Pastor to Death in Uganda,” Morning Star News, July 6, […]
Uganda: Muslim beats his daughter and makes her swallow poison for converting to Christianity
The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]
Pakistani retailer refuses to deliver food in ‘heretic’ Ahmadiyya locality because it’s ‘blasphemous’
“Pakistani online retailer has refused to deliver food ordered online saying delivering food in a locality settled by Ahmadiyas is blasphemous in Pakistan….. saying it ‘can’t deliver to Qadiani areas.’” The locality is the Chenab Nagar area of Pakistan’s Punjab province.

Iran charges ex-Muslims with ‘engaging in propaganda that educates in a deviant way contrary to Islam’
There is no indication that Amin Khaki, Milad Goodarzi and Alireza Nourmohammadi were distributing any material that actually criticized Islam. They were just preaching Christianity. That’s now “engaging in propaganda that educates in a deviant way contrary to the holy religion of Islam.” “Christian converts charged under Iran’s newly amended ‘propaganda’ law,” Article 18, May […]
Ex-Muslim: ‘Once they started calling it racist to criticize Islam, it was easy to shut the conversation down’
Nowadays statements are not evaluated on the basis of whether or not they’re true, but on the basis of who says them. What Obaid Omer says here is quite correct, and I’ve been saying it for years. But of course Newsweek wouldn’t be caught dead publishing someone who has been subject to the same process […]

Christian convert jailed for ‘undermining Islam’ in Algeria, now facing persecution in Tunisia
Apostasy is a crime in Islam which carries the death penalty; so does blasphemy. A former Muslim turned Christian, Slimane Bouhafs, was jailed in Algeria in 2016 for saying that “the light of Jesus would outshine that of Islam.” He’s still being tormented now that he has been released and has moved to Tunisia. There […]
Ex-Muslim woman says Pakistani culture has held her back more than racism in UK, ‘I know the backlash I’ll get’
Much of that backlash will come from non-Muslims in the UK, who have been skillfully and relentlessly indoctrinated to hate their own nation and culture, and will bristle at any suggestion that British culture might have any features that are superior to Pakistani culture. All cultures are equal, including Sharia cultures that systematically oppress women. […]
