Some good news for a change. To those Muslims who follow strict Sharia law, child marriage is permissible, as per Muhammad’s example, delineated in the Hadith: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.” (al-Bukhari 67:70) Egypt decided […]
Turkey realigning ties with Egypt ‘in a region where the US is not going to be present’
“Positive” normalization talks between Turkey and Egypt took place in May. This is bad news, considering Egypt’s troubled history with the Muslim Brotherhood and its subsequent outlawing of the group; Turkey is a backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, Qatar and Turkey have been bankrolling Muslim Brotherhood networks across Europe, including the Muslim Council […]
Egypt’s Sisi: Islamic scholars must counter ‘erroneous thoughts that spread with aim of distorting image of Islam’
Here again we see “Islamophobia” used in the sense of criticism of Islam. “Anti-Islamophobia” initiatives advance in the West under the guise of combating vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims. But once they’re in place, these measures are used to silence any negative discussion of Islam, including discussion of the role of Islamic texts and teachings […]
Muslim cleric tells Muslims to move to South Sudan and Islamize it by making ‘sacrifice’ of marrying ‘Negro women’
But remember: opposing Islamization is “racist.” Sheikh Ahmed Al-Naqeeb also says: “As for talking about finding a solution and sitting at a table of dialogue, this is all nonsense.” Will Pope Francis ponder why the sheikh says this, and consider its implications? Of course not. “Egyptian Muslim fundamentalist proposes recolonization of South Sudan,” Nyamilpedia, June […]
Is Egypt Planning to Take Control of Gaza?
The Egyptians have been heavily involved in ending the Gaza War and its aftermath. It was Egypt that was responsible for arranging the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. It is Egypt that has been the first state to pledge a massive aid package — $500 million – for Gaza. And it is Egyptians, with heavy-duty […]
The Lessons of the Yom Kippur War, Pre-Emptive Strikes, and Iran
The Yom Kippur War was a war Israel almost lost. The accepted story is that Israel was taken by surprise; that Egypt and Syria managed to launch simultaneous attacks against an unprepared IDF. It turns out that the true story was more disturbing than that: Israel knew in advance, thanks to American intelligence, of […]
Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt condemn Israel’s ‘crackdown on Palestinians’
The latest round of jihad aggression against Israel was instigated on the Temple Mount by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Thousands of Palestinians gathered at the Temple Mount ahead of Jerusalem Day, armed with rocks and other makeshift weapons. The Palestinians then started rioting, hurling rocks, and forcing police to enter the Temple Mount compound. […]
Egypt: Money ISIS demanded for kidnapped Christian was not ransom, but jizya from Christians in his village
“Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) […]
Turkey’s foreign minister: ‘We are opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood being declared a terrorist organization’
Turkey has for quite some time been in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. It even welcomed Brotherhood leaders who had been forced to leave Qatar after heavy pressure from Gulf countries. But that was almost seven years ago. In February of last year, an Egyptian human rights group openly accused Qatar and Turkey of funding […]
Egypt: Islamic State video shows its murder of 62-year-old Christian man who built the only church in his area
“Before his execution, ISIS forced Nabil Habashi to record a video in which he said his name and that the Church was cooperating with the army against the Islamic State.” The goal is to intimidate the Christians into fearing to oppose the Islamic State in any effective way. There are Islamic groups in the West […]
