Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. “And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he […]
Germany: Muslim migrant family charged with plotting to murder daughter because of her Western lifestyle
Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger! This incident is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an.

Jordan: Family of ex-Muslim lesbian threatens to kill her
This message was passed on to me by a Jihad Watch reader. This woman appears to be in urgent need of help, if she is even still alive, but the very authorities who should be protecting her are apparently abetting those who would take her life. This is Sharia and the rights of women in […]
Syria: Brother of Women’s Protection Units fighter murders her because she ‘brought shame and dishonor upon family’
An indelible detail leaps out from this report: “In the region, there is a history of men being accused of killing women or girls perceived to have brought shame to a family or tribe being given token sentences, or in other cases, escaping justice entirely.” Now, why is that?

Honor killing in Iraqi Kurdistan: Muslim murders his two daughters, hides bodies
“Violence against women is common in Iraqi Kurdistan, despite government promises to prevent it.” Why is that? A culture of violence, the foundational text of which commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), is going to give rise to this sort of thing.

She eloped with a man. He disapproved. So she had to die. But the father knew he would get off lightly: “Reza Ashrafi sought legal advice before he killed his daughter, and knew that his maximum sentence could only be ten years in prison.” Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.

Patricia Said, the wife of the murder Yaser Abdel Said, is the source of this information. As I noted here, this is a woman who admitted in 2008 — after her husband had killed their two daughters — that her husband had threatened to kill one of her daughters for dating a non-Muslim. Then, after […]

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.
