Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine, and he is the “excellent example” for believers, so this 15-year-old girl was getting to be almost too old for marriage. “Investigation launched into fugitive ISIL militant over sexually abusing Indonesian child in Turkey’s south,” Hürriyet Daily News, July 7, 2017 (thanks to The Religion […]
Turkey: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” violently assaults, bites female emergency room worker at hospital
“SES representative Muhsin Baygümüş also pointed out the other recent attacks on women and said the reason for the increase is also due to lack of legal deterrents.” How can there be legal deterrents against this in Erdogan’s rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey when the Qur’an tells men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (4:34)? […]
Erdogan seizes 50 churches and monasteries, declares them Turkish state property
As Turkey continues its Islamization under Erdogan, it becomes increasingly hostile to Christians and Christianity. This fact should give pause to the fond and foolish purveyors of “Muslim-Christian dialogue” and Christian “outreach” to Muslims, but it won’t. “Erdogan Seizes 50 Syriac Churches and Monasteries, Declares Them Turkish State Property,” by Patrick Poole, PJ Media, June […]
Turkey: Court releases Muslim who attacked woman for wearing shorts during Ramadan
Prosecutor Mehmet Ali Yıldız “filed an objection to the decision at a higher court, the 6th Court of Peace.” The woman who was attacked says: “I have not, until now, said anything bad to justice; I thought it had a conscious [sic].

Turkey says German mosque where men and women pray side by side “incompatible” with Islam
This mosque received a great deal of international publicity recently as heralding the advent of a new, modern, moderate Islam. As is always the case with genuine attempts at Islamic reform, however, it is receiving pushback from Islamic authorities who say it is inauthentic Islam. The Turkish authorities in this case are working from hadiths […]
Video from Turkey: Muslim strikes woman for wearing shorts during Ramadan
Wearing shorts during Ramadan: an offense to Allah. Striking a woman who is wearing shorts during Ramadan: a blessed act. After all, the Qur’an commands Muslim men to “beat” from from whom they “fear disobedience” (4:34) “Outcry after Turkish woman assaulted for ‘wearing shorts in Ramadan,’” AFP, June 21, 2017: ISTANBUL (AFP) – A Turkish […]
Erdogan says Trump’s not holding Ramadan dinner casts doubt on U.S. support for freedom of religion
What a hypocrite. Freedom of religion? If Erdogan values the freedom of religion so highly, why is he trying to choke off and destroy the Greek Orthodox Church by requiring that the Ecumenical Patriarch be a Turkish citizen, and yet closing and refusing to allow the reopening of the only Greek Orthodox seminary in the […]
Nine injured as Erdoğan’s bodyguards violently attack Kurdish protesters in DC
According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdoğan’s security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party outside the residence. This is a sign of what is to come. When Islamic supremacists are emboldened, their violence increases. Erdoğan has become emboldened recently — even more so since emerging victorious in a referendum that […]
Turkey accused of cracking down on critics abroad
The New York Times reported that Gulenists have been hunted and in hiding as a result of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s aggressive campaign against them, despite their insistence that they are not involved in plotting against him and the implausibility of the charges themselves. Erdogan is now reportedly expanding his jihadist thuggery and reach, as his […]
Turkey: Large Muslim crowd prays in front of Hagia Sophia, demanding it become a mosque again
In October, Erdogan appointed a full-time imam for the Hagia Sophia, who was to lead the five daily prayers there. So its reconversion into a mosque is essentially already complete. But it is not officially a mosque yet. That will doubtless come soon. If Erdogan had any actual good will toward Europe, he would give […]
