There is indeed a lack of understanding of Islam in Washington, but not in the way King Abdullah is claiming. Abdullah said: “It is not a religion of hate. We as Muslims believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. We believe in the Holy Virgin Mother. We believe in the Bible and the Torah, and […]
Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Palestinian territories are among most dangerous places on earth for Christians
Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinian territories are amongst the most dangerous places on earth for Christians, according to a new report. Another report by the European-based Catholic Charity Aid to the Church in Need reported before Christmas that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, and that Christianity could be wiped out […]
Michigan: Court rules that Muslim woman in danger of honor killing in Jordan will not be sent back
The ruling is good, the AP report less so. This is not about “traditional taboos.” Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a […]
Jordan’s Queen Rania: “Many around the world are unable to see Muslims as victims”
“Citing rising anti-Muslim sentiments and stereotypes, she questioned whether animosity towards Muslims had reached the point ‘where many around the world are unable to see Muslims as victims. It leads one to wonder if the tables were turned, and these acts of violence were committed by Muslims, if the world’s response would have been as […]
Jordanian Minister: Allowing Jews on Temple Mount is “provoking in an irresponsible fashion” Muslims worldwide
Well then, by all means, we must not provoke the poor dears. Everyone knows that, right? If we just refrain from doing things that provoke Muslims and poke them in the eye, everything will be all right, no? Isn’t that why virtually the entire Western establishment media avoided reprinting the Muhammad cartoons that Muslims used […]
Germany sends troops to Jordan despite failing to gain for them immunity from Sharia prosecution
What could possibly go wrong? A few stonings, a few amputations — but hey, it’s for an ally! As always, in Muslim countries, one is expected to conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities, just as in non-Muslim countries, one is expected to conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. In any case, this won’t last long. […]
Jordan’s repeal of marry-the-rapist law highlights barbaric reality of Islamic laws
“The repeal of a Jordanian law that allowed a rapist to escape prison by marrying his victim” came a little too late for a 13-year-old girl “who was coerced into an abusive marriage to her attacker as a condition for getting out of ‘protective’ state custody.” What a victory for the next victims of rape […]
Jordan: Muslims attack Israeli embassy in Amman, murder Israeli security guard
This is more fallout from the Muslim rage over metal detectors being placed at the Temple Mount. As far as Muslims worldwide are concerned, it is an inexcusable outrage that the Israelis would try to defend themselves from jihad attacks. They should just sit passively by and wait to be murdered. (Thanks to Jerk Chicken.)
Jordan’s King: “The fact that terrorists are going to Europe is part of Turkish policy”
“The problem is bigger than the Islamic State, this is a third world war, and this is Christians, Jews working with Muslims against outlaws.” That’s an interesting take on the situation. It is indeed a third world war, but few see it as such, and all too many Muslims and non-Muslims in the West have […]
Muslim Brotherhood protests Jordan’s removal of Qur’an’s jihad verses from curriculum
President Trump may designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, as Saudi Arabia did three years ago. Jordan’s King Abdullah II visited the U.S. last week and met many officials from the new administration, including Trump. In October, a report stated that Jordan was becoming close friends with Israel, and that “some Palestinians fear they’ve […]
