And note that the daughter didn’t want to testify, because doing so would bring shame on the family. Her father’s behavior wouldn’t bring shame on the family, but her testifying would. Why? Because this kind of treatment of women is sanctioned in Islam. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat […]
Germany: Afghan Muslim migrant pays $7,000 for 13-year-old bride
“In Afghanistan they do it that way, and here, too. I’m not the only one.” Oh, I’m sure.

Child marriage has abundant attestation […]
Pakistan: Three Hindu women married to Muslims who kidnapped them and forcibly converted them to Islam
The Qur’an forbids Muslim men to marry “polytheistic” women: “Do not marry idolatresses until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave woman is better than an idolatress, even though she pleases you. And do not give your daughters in marriage to idolaters until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave is better than an idolater, […]
Iran: Woman convicted of having ‘no-hijab infectious disease,’ which court says is ‘a contagious mental illness’
She has been sentenced to mandatory psychotherapy sessions, as well as community service. That’s an interesting new slant on the therapeutic nanny state, and a hint of how Sharia can be made to coalesce nicely with Western namby-pamby therapeutic authoritarianism. “Iranian Woman Sentenced for Having ‘No-Hijab Infectious Disease,’” by Roghayeh Rezaei, Iran Wire, July 12, […]
Iran: Morality police campaign returns to impose Islamic headscarf on women following year of protests
“The morality police had largely pulled back following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last September,” but now in a renewed campaign to force the Islamic headscarf on women, Shia Iran is living up to the Sharia with vigor, after weathering a year of protests.

Germany: Muslim migrant stabs his wife to death, gets twelve years in prison
There is, of course, domestic violence in all cultures. So to post this is just “Islamophobic,” right? Wrong: there is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat her, accidents will happen. The […]

India: Muslim raped and blackmailed Hindu girl for five years
This case of the repeated rape of a girl beginning when she was 16 years old is all too common in India; it is so common that there is a specific term for it, “Love Jihad.” The West is blind to the suffering of Hindu and Christian women who are repeatedly subject to sexual and […]
Hey, At Least He Has A Sense of Humor: Taliban Top Dog Insists Women Have It Great In Afghanistan
New in PJ Media: Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, turns out to be an Afghan Chris Rock.

Sweden: Muslim migrant murders his wife in front of their children because she wanted a divorce
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for […]
