Italy: Muslim migrant mother and brother beat 14-year-old girl for refusing to wear the niqab
This migrant family is a product of a culture of violence that mandates the beating of disobedient women (cf. Qur’an 4:34). “Ostia, beaten because she is not wearing a burqa.

Germany: 63-year-old Afghan Muslim migrant slits 21-year-old wife’s throat in front of their children

Gaza woman’s plans to study abroad foiled by Islamic guardian law
The prohibition on women going out without a male guardian is not Hamas’ invention.
