Hudud refers in Islamic law to the Sharia punishments on zina (various acts of sexual immorality — stoning for adultery, execution for homosexuality, lashes for various other offenses), theft (amputation of the hand), apostasy (execution), and the drinking of alcohol (lashes). Muslims in the West routinely affirm that they do not believe in these punishments […]
Malaysian Islamic leader: Equality, liberty and human rights created by atheists to destroy Islam
“There is no liberal Islam or socialist Islam. You are either a Muslim or a jahilliah,” said Zaid Abdul Rahman. He also said: “Islam is Islam. Ideologies are not part of Islam and all these ideologies are from the west..liberalism, liberty, equity and human rights are all agenda of the atheist.” What will the Muslim […]
Kenya: “Moderate” Muslim leaders threaten violence in response to counter-terror efforts
The Kenyan police might really be cracking down too hard on Muslims after the recent bombings, but these charges of police injustice and brutality follow a familiar pattern: they’re remarkably similar to charges Muslim groups have made in the U.S. — that the FBI and police target Muslims indiscriminately, mistreat them in custody, etc. They’re […]
Canada: Muslim leader incites Muslim judges not to apply laws that oppose Sharia
Dr. Jamal Badawi was several years ago a leading “moderate Muslim.” His “moderate” credentials were a bit tarnished, however, when he was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case. Oh, and also, Jamal Badawi owes me a million dollars: several years ago, he offered a cool mil to anyone […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Muslims, Our Natural Allies?
In FrontPage this morning I discuss how First Things and National Review turn a blind eye to jihad violence and Sharia injustice. World Hijab Day was February 1, and Princeton Professor Robert P. George marked the occasion by publishing a piece in the Catholic journal First Things entitled “Muslims, Our Natural Allies.” He included in […]
India: Enraged Muslims demand ban of movie about “how Qur’an has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism”
It’s “a bold film on myths about Quran” — a “jihad against terrorism.” You’d think that peaceful Muslims would be glad to see this addressed — certainly I myself am interested to see how Ajaz Khan makes a case that “Quran has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism,” since jihad terrorists routinely quote chapter […]
Sisi calls for “modern, comprehensive understanding of the religion of Islam”
The latest Muslim Martin Luther, taking up the tattered crown from the cynical, deceptive Tariq Ramadan, is Egypt’s General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has called for a reformation within Islam. Such a reformation is certainly urgently needed, and even in calling for it, Sisi has gone much farther than the Muslim Brotherhood scion Ramadan ever […]
Muslim cleric who endorses jihad/martyrdom suicide bombings on 11-city US tour
And the Board Chairman of the sponsoring group is none other than the sinister, vicious and cynically disingenuous Hussam Ayloush of Hamas-linked CAIR. Why does this man have any audience at all? Why are the peaceful, moderate Muslims of the U.S. giving him a hearing? Why aren’t they standing up at his talks and barraging […]
Jihad is “the most misunderstood concept of Islam,” says Indian Muslim historian
Habib “Everything is a jihad “” pursuit of education, earning a living and fighting your egos. But, now, it is the most misunderstood concept of Islam.” This recalls Hamas-linked CAIR’s cynical and deceptive ad campaign saying that jihad was taking the kids to school and getting in one’s exercise. This was widely taken as evidence […]
Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Not what it appears to be
Karima Bennoune Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Not what it appears to be by Danusha Goska At first glance, Karima Bennoune’s “Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Untold Stories from the Fight against Muslim Fundamentalism” might look, to the naïve reader, like the statement all America has been waiting for since September 11, 2001.
