What is Jordan doing to ensure that no Muslim in the future will decide that the proper response to those offensive cartoons is to behead the person who shows them? Why, nothing at all, of course. But if it genuinely wanted to delink Islam and terrorism, it would be working on that, rather than on […]
Pakistan’s Khan denounces Macron for ‘encouragement of Islamophobia’ and trying to ‘deliberately provoke’ Muslims
Khan says that “by attacking Islam, clearly without having any understanding of it, President Macron has attacked and hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims in Europe and across the world, The last thing the world wants or needs is further polarisation. Public statements based on ignorance will create more hate, Islamophobia and space for […]
France expels Muslim migrant family for beating girl and shaving her head over her relationship with Christian
Are French authorities actually going to stand up for their own culture? 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. […]
‘The beheading of a teacher in France is the barbaric logical conclusion to cancel culture’
This is absolutely true. Those who are denying platforms and the opportunity to participate in the public discourse to people they dislike will not be satisfied with anything short of the deaths of those whom they have targeted. You think that’s an exaggeration? Consider the fact that the supposedly egregious statements that the targets have […]
Pakistan: Muslim slaps Christian and drags her into street for calling out to a relative using his Christian name
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) […]
France: Cops interrogated teacher who showed Muhammad cartoon four days before he was beheaded
Why didn’t the French police interrogate Brahim Chnina, the father of a girl at Paty’s school, who circulated a video inciting Muslims to murder Paty? Why didn’t police interrogate Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who aided Chnina? Why, in a country that is supposedly dedicated to the freedom of speech, did the police call in Paty, whose only […]
Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl kidnapped, converted to Islam, forced to marry the man who abducted her
These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, authorities generally share the same assumptions, so the family of Arzoo Masih is unlikely to get justice. Meanwhile, the international “human rights community” […]
Archbishop of Albania: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is a ‘cultural jihad’
The archbishop is right. The conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is for Erdogan a symbol of Islam’s triumph over secularism, just as its conversion to a museum in 1935 was a symbol of secularism’s triumph over Islam, and its original conversion to a mosque in 1453 was a symbol of Islam’s triumph over […]
International Union for Muslim Scholars: ‘we are in fear for societies that make other people’s religions targets’
Al-Qaradaghi said, “the future is for the religion of Islam and we are in fear for the future of societies that make other people’s religions and sanctities legitimate targets.” The future is for the religion of Islam? Leonard Cohen said it best: “You aren’t going to like what comes after America.” “We are in fear […]
Turkey: TV host calls on Macron to ‘reexamine’ the freedom of speech and criminalize blasphemy against Islam
There are many in the West who agree with Mohamed Abdelbaky — so many that the freedom of speech is under serious threat. If Western countries adopt blasphemy laws, however, they will be essentially committing suicide. For years now, Islamic groups in the West have characterized any analysis of how jihad terrorists use the texts […]
