The Dutch school objected because the Islamic school teaches values that contradict its own. The Dutch court ordered the school to host the Islamic school anyway. And so the Dutch identity and culture is gradually stripped away as the most tolerant of societies submits to a radically intolerant ideology. “Islamization is institutional, an anecdote from […]
Afghanistan: Senior Muslim cleric says subjects such as science and technology ‘not necessary for women’
We can all hope, for the sake of the women and girls in Afghanistan, and for Afghan society as a whole, that the claims of those who say that these restrictions have no basis in Islamic teachings will win out. But Westerners should not kid themselves (yes, I know, they will anyway). The Islamic case […]
Texas: Muslim high school principal appointee reassigned; has defended Sharia and supported jihad against Israel
Since Shayma Alzubi has been reassigned, there has been a great hue and cry regarding “Islamophobia” and, inevitably, “racism,” but what if Shayma Alzubi had been a National Socialist, defending Hitler’s Germany and praising the Holocaust?

Afghanistan: Taliban marriage law has NO minimum age for girls

Malaysia: 51 men arrested for ‘gay party’
A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462) And so if […]
Taliban top dog claims adherence to Sharia is the path to prosperity and success

UN condemns Taliban law legalizing child marriage
Yet the same UN would condemn as “Islamophobic” anyone who suggested that the Taliban’s child marriage law had anything to do with Islam. Yet it’s quite clear from this article that the Taliban are ordering all of Afghan society according to Sharia. The Taliban themselves would be the first to tell the UN that their […]
An Afghan Migrant Finds a New Way to Celebrate Diversity in the UK
New in PJ Media: One of the glories of diversity, which is our strength, you know, as leftists still insist on reminding us, is that it’s so… diverse.
