Morocco: Muslim leader accused in murder of Leftist student claims he is the real victim
“The trial took place one day after the Court of Appeal in Fez sentenced four PJD members to jail in the case of El Jid’s murder in 1993, following bloody clashes between leftist and Islamist students at Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in the city.” Watch for the Leftist/Islamic alliance in the West, so solid […]
Morocco: Muslim elementary school teacher says Belgian volunteers “should be beheaded” because “they work in shorts”

Italy: Muslim father tries to run over daughter for being too Westernized
“A 53-year-old Moroccan man who tried to run over his 22-year-old daughter near Vercelli because she lived ‘western-style’ on Monday said ‘I’ve never laid hands on my daughter, I’m strict but I do it for my children’s good.’ El Mustafa Hayan was arrested on charges of attempted murder.” So much for the freedom of women […]
