There is, of course, domestic violence in all cultures. So to post this is just “Islamophobic,” right? Wrong: there is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islamic texts do not sanction killing women, but they sanction brutalizing them, and that can lead to excesses. The Qur’an teaches […]
Honor killing in Germany: Muslim migrant murders daughter for having boyfriend and Western lifestyle
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack.

News alert for feminists: Muslim murders his sister in honor killing after she has quarrel with her husband
That “news alert for feminists” bit was just a joke, friends. Feminists don’t care about Muslim women who are brutalized or killed according to Sharia provisions and Islamic mores. The narrative is that Muslims are always victims. The widespread tolerance for honor killing in many majority-Muslim areas doesn’t fit the narrative. So no one will […]

Islam Said, a son of Yaser Said, who murdered Islam’s two sisters Amina and Sarah on January 1, 2008, denies that the killings were honor murders or had anything to do with Islam. “It’s something else.

Finland: Muslim migrant says he’s proud of trying to honor-murder ex-wife, ‘women have too many rights in Finland’
Here is yet another example of a Muslim migrant bringing his cultural attitudes and assumptions, which are rooted in Islam’s teachings about women and their status and rights, to his new home in the West. No attempt is made in Finland or anywhere else to encourage migrant assimilation. Consequently, the atomization and balkanization of Finnish […]
