Many videos are “offensive,” and usually when they involve religion, the target is Christianity. No one apologizes or is even asked to apologize. Are these offenses also “honest and careless mistakes?” The normal reaction to videos when they are offensive, as is often expected, is to have an adult discussion about them, or simply don’t […]
Somaliland: Two Christians arrested for preaching to Muslims
According to Sharia, leaving Islam is a capital offense for Muslims, and preaching to Muslims is a capital offense for non-Muslims. These missionaries could accordingly be put to death. “Somaliland: Spreading the Christian religion Is a Crime? Police arrest two men,” Geeska Afrika, October 5, 2020: Somaliland police in northern Somalia have confirmed the conclusion […]
Detroit: Muslima with Hamas-linked CAIR lawyer sues for being made to remove hijab in booking photo
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) indefatigably pushes the notion that Muslims are victims of widespread harassment and discrimination in the U.S. This is in order to deflect attention away from jihad terror activity and to buttress the notion that counter-terror scrutiny of Muslim communities is simply more of this persecution. But actual “hate […]
Nigeria: Sharia police ban stylish haircuts, sagging trousers, playing of music at social events
I’m with them on the sagging trousers, but anyway, remember all the people who insisted that Sharia was completely compatible with Western secular values, and that anyone who thought otherwise was a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”? “Like In Kano, Hisbah Bans ‘UnIslamic’ Hairstyles, Dressing In Kebbi State,” SaharaReporters, October 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of […]
Turkey: Religious Affairs top dog says ‘the goal’ is for Hagia Sophia to become a center of knowledge about Islam
The conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is for Erdogan and Ali Erbas 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 Christianity.

Pakistan: Muslim professor murders Ahmadi professor after argument over religion
When you have a religion that mandates death for heresy and apostasy, this kind of thing is going to happen in the “fort of Islam.” “Muslim professor shoots dead fellow Pakistani academic after the two argued about their different religions,” by Clare McCarthy, Mailonline, October 5, 2020 (thanks to Inexion): A Pakistani Muslim professor shot […]
Pakistan: Sindh governor boasts that the country is a nuclear power and ‘fort of Islam’
Westerners routinely assume that Islamic supremacists and jihadists are an aberration, no matter how many times Islamic leaders say otherwise, and how compellingly even the most cursory reading of Islamic texts demonstrates otherwise. In Pakistan, the governor of Sindh addressed a group that included high-ranking government officials; he boasted about Islam’s supremacy and about Pakistan […]
UK: Muslim Wins $2,900 for Not Being Given a Cognac Prize
One more of those crazy stories involving a Muslim complaining of mistreatment, and getting a court to agree, is here. A Muslim porter has successfully sued a five-star country hotel for religious harassment after he won a bottle of Cognac in a raffle – but bosses gave him ‘cheap’ chocolate instead. Managers at the 17th […]
UK: Muslim student enraged after being given ham sandwich during self-isolation
The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. It’s noteworthy that the London Economic thought this was news at all. If a Christian student at the University of Edinburgh were dissatisfied with […]
UK: Christian convicted of ‘religiously aggravated harassment,’ fined $1189 for saying ‘all Muslims will go to hell’
Note the statement of Judge Anthony Leonard QC: “The appellant must have realised he was speaking directly to someone of the Muslim faith and who had already said to the appellant he cannot say that.” All right. So Oluwole Ilesanmi said something offensive to Mr. Mohammod. According to Leonard, Ilesanmi should have stopped, because Mohammod […]
