The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]
Somalia: Muslims murder 11, injure 10 with car bomb at busy shopping mall
Why target people at a shopping mall? In order to strike terror in the hearts, as Allah commands in the Qur’an: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do […]
Somalia: Muslim doctor from Canada joins the Islamic State, urges Muslims to “get on the path of jihad”
It is taken for granted among mainstream counterterror analysts that poverty causes terrorism, yet there is a steady stream of affluent people who join the jihad. And Dr. Youssef Al Majeerteyn seems somehow to have gotten the idea that jihad involves violence against unbelievers. Where did he learn that? Is his mosque in Canada being […]
Somalia: Muslim group abducts 100 civilians for refusing to pay zakat, Islamic almsgiving
It’s charitable giving, but it doesn’t come from the heart. One has to do it — or else. “Al Shabaab abducts 100 Somali civilians,” Gulf Times, January 19, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Somali authorities said Friday that Al Shabaab militant group have taken about 100 civilians as hostages in the southwestern Bakool […]
Norway: Muslim migrants sending their kids to schools in Somalia to keep them from being too Westernized
Look carefully at this report. The Muslim migrants in Norway are supposedly “refugees.” The Somalis there are supposedly fleeing violence in their homeland. But they apparently don’t think that their homeland is too dangerous for them to send their children back there, so that they learn their Islam straight with no chaser, including hatred of […]
Denmark’s migration minister tells Somali Muslims: “Return home and rebuild the country from which you came”
Denmark has admitted many Muslim migrants, but it is also trying to preserve its culture. It has “introduced a series of integration programmes to stop non-Western migrants ghettosing in the Scandinavian peninsula, including telling migrants in high-ethnic neighbourhoods that their children must attend daycare from the age of one to learn Danish values or the […]
A Kenyan says Somali Muslims come to Europe “for your free benefits which are paid out with your taxpayers’ money”
I had the pleasure of interviewing a Kenyan on the question of why Europe is being flooded with African, and specifically Somali, men.

Somalia: Muslims murder Islamic leader and at least 17 of his followers for playing music
Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, but it’s nonetheless true: Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or […]
Somalia: Muslims set off two jihad suicide bombs at Mogadishu hotel, murdering 20

They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Several killed in suicide bomb attack in Somali capital,” France 24, November 9, 2018: Suicide attackers set off two car bombs at […]
Somalia: Two young Muslim sisters die after being subjected to female genital mutilation
Establishment media treatments of female genital mutilation routinely insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, but actually FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is […]
