And certainly there are elements of the West that want to do exactly that.

This is the difference between the Western idea of virtue, the deliberate choice […]
Afghanistan’s Top Dog Thinks He Can Make His Country Prosperous With This One Weird Trick
New in PJ Media: With a GDP per capita of around $445, Afghanistan can make a strong case for being the poorest country in the world.

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
The promise is in the Qur’an: obedience to Allah will bring worldly success: “Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good works that he will surely make them succeed on the earth even as he caused those who were before them to succeed, and that he will surely establish for them their […]
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.

Indonesia: Woman passes out after couple is lashed 100 times for sex outside marriage
The generally witless Daily Mail gets something right for once, correctly noting that Aceh “is the only place in Muslim-majority Indonesia to administer Sharia.” Usually establishment media reports about Sharia punishments claim that what is being administered is “Aceh’s strict interpretation of Sharia,” or “the Taliban’s,” or whoever may be applying Sharia in a particular […]

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit. The tension is rising, and CAIR is responding with panic: “CAIR Submits Statement for Congressional Record Rebutting Anti-Muslim Hate Planned for Second ‘Sharia […]
The Islamic Ethic and the Spirit of Parasitism
New in PJ Media: Many Muslim countries today are rich due to an accident of geology: the discovery of oil. But before the world ran on internal combustion engines, what made the great Islamic societies wealthy and powerful? The answer is darker than the black gold that enriches many of them now. The Qur’an commands […]
African Defense Forum warns Islamic State using Sahel region as base to sow jihad terror abroad
For anyone with eyes, the 1,400-year history of jihad is amply documented. Sharia is highly expansionary and now threatens the West via suicidal mass migration policies bringing in vast numbers of unvetted migrants from the Middle East and Africa. The Islamic State, which rampaged through the Middle East a decade ago, was defeated by a […]
