Any jury in Pakistan would acquit him on those grounds, but will that fly in the new, multicultural, diverse Greece? Maybe not quite yet. “Crime in Peristeri: ‘I killed her because she spoke badly about the Koran’, says the Pakistani,” trans;ated from “Έγκλημα στο Περιστέρι: «Τη σκότωσα γιατί μίλησε άσχημα για το κοράνι», λέει ο […]
Sweden: Muslims get prison for rioting, stoning police over Qur’an-burning that didn’t happen
They will be out of prison very soon, and by then, what will have been done to disabuse them of their Islamic supremacism and willingness to become violent at perceived insults to Islam? Nothing whatsoever. Any such effort would be “Islamophobic.” If anything, they’ll come out of prison more dangerous than they were when they […]
Afghanistan: Taliban tortures YouTubers for ‘insulting Qur’an verses’
The guardians of acceptable opinion will tut-tut at the Taliban’s “hardline” stance, but they’re busy implementing speech restrictions in the West, so they don’t really have a leg to stand on to object to this. Before too long, it will likely be illegal in the U.S. to engage in “insulting Qur’an verses,” or to be […]
Spain: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar, your god is false’ enters cathedral, throws copy of Qur’an
Celebrate diversity! “A Moroccan arrested after breaking into the Basilica del Pilar yelling ‘Allah is great,’” translated from “Detenido un marroquí tras irrumpir en la Basílica del Pilar gritando ‘Alá es grande,’” La Gaceta, July 22, 2022: The National Police has reported this Friday of the arrest of a 26-year-old Moroccan, after having burst into […]
Afghanistan: YouTubers arrested for ‘insulting verses of the Qur’an,’ apologize for ‘promoting Western culture’
The guardians of acceptable opinion will tut-tut at the Taliban’s “hardline” stance, but they’re busy implementing speech restrictions in the West, so they don’t really have a leg to stand on to object to this. Before too long, it will likely be illegal in the U.S. to engage in “insulting verse of the Qur’an,” or […]
Nigeria: Muslim customer and his friends murder prostitute for keeping Qur’an in her room
If she had been an infidel, they would have expected nothing better than prostitution from her. But if she was a Muslim, she was committing zina, a crime involving improper sexual relations, and was worthy of death. “Customer, friends lynch, burn Lagos sex worker for keeping Quran in room,” by Deji Lambo, Punch, June 14, […]
Niger: 40 ex-jihadis complete deradicalization course, swear on Qur’an they won’t do any more violence
Are these men truly “deradicalized”? Maybe. But deradicalization programs have been spectacular failures everywhere. Qur’an 3:28 warns believers not to take unbelievers as “friends or helpers,” “unless that you but guard yourselves against them.” This is a foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive unbelievers when under pressure. The word used for “guard” […]
Why The Critical Qur’an?
Order The Critical Qur’an here. Biden administration counterterrorism “experts,” including the Biden himself, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and FBI officials, have repeatedly insisted that “white supremacists” are the chief terrorism threat the nation faces today. The big hole in their claims, however, is the general absence of actual terrorist attacks and plots by “white supremacists,” […]

Imam deported from France for quoting Qur’an: ‘I have nothing to apologize for as I have spoken the word of Allah’
It does seem as if Ahamada Mmadi has spoken the word of Allah, as what led to his deportation was that he quoted “a verse about women in his sermon at the Saint-Chamond mosque in the Loire department.” The 5 Pillars UK story below says it was this one: “And stay in your houses. Do […]
