The new “caliphate” of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi—the Islamic State, formerly “ISIS”—recently made clear that it means to follow in the footsteps of the original caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Sadiq (632-634), specifically by directing its jihad against fellow Muslims, in Islamic parlance, the “hypocrites” and “apostates,” or in Western terminology, “moderates.” This came out in the […]
Malaysia: Those who leave Islam face fines, whippings and death sentence
Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they […]
Somali convert in Sweden: Sweden might experience a bloody civil war
I met lovely Mona Walter at a press conference in the Danish parliament a short time ago. A Swedish Ayaan Hirsi Ali in her own way. Being a convert in Islamized Sweden and even speaking out publicly about it and against Islam is exceedingly brave. Via 10news.dk, translated from Uriasposten: She lives in Gothenburg and came to […]
Sudan: Christian woman’s family to go to court to prove she was Muslim
If her family succeeds in proving that she was once a Muslim, she will almost certainly be killed, as per Islamic law’s death penalty for apostates. Why would her family want that fate for her? Because Islam is paramount over all other loyalties and affections. The Qur’an’s 60th chapter depicts Abraham telling his pagan family […]
U.S. and Sudan negotiating over Christian woman sentenced to death for leaving Islam
“There are talks going on currently between Sudanese and American officials to try to find a way for Mariam and her family to leave the country.” Maybe Sudanese officials will settle for a bit of jizya in lieu of her head. The honor of Islam would thereby be preserved, even if she were released. “U.S. […]
Sudanese Christian freed, “safe and well” in US Embassy
One would hope that even in this age of Obama, Meriam Ibrahim can safely get out of Sudan now that she is in the US Embassy. Still, free people and those who oppose Sharia can breathe easy only when she is out of the country. “Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim ‘safe and well’ in US embassy,” […]
Sudanese Christian just released from prison rearrested with husband at airport
Meriam Yahya Ibrahim is accused of apostasy because her father was a Muslim, and so she is a Muslim. Her profession of Christianity makes her an apostate, and under Islamic law apostasy is punishable by death. She is an adulteress because Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. Thus both of the charges […]
Sudanese woman condemned to death for leaving Islam walks free from prison
“Tony Blair called the case a ‘brutal and sickening distortion of faith.” In reality, the Sudanese authorities were acting in accord with classic principles of Islamic law. Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The […]
Sudanese court orders release of woman sentenced to death for leaving Islam
In light of the fact that Abdullahi Alazreg said that she would be freed several weeks ago, and then that statement was retracted, this ruling is just empty verbiage unless Meriam Yahya Ibrahim is actually freed. Nevertheless, it does show that international pressure can work even against Sharia supremacists. “Sudanese court orders release of woman […]
Ex-Muslim sues Tulsa church for announcing his baptism, leading to his kidnapping
Probably the Rev. Miller and other First Presbyterian Church officials had no idea that they would be endangering this man by announcing his baptism, because they had no idea that Islam has a death penalty for apostasy, because if they had heard about Sharia penalty for apostasy at all, they had been assured that there […]
