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. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority […]
Wife of Hamas-linked CAIR top dog Hassan Shibly accuses him of beating her, he resigns, may be disbarred
No surprise here in Shibly’s behavior. He is clearly a true believer, a Sharia-adherent Muslim. What is surprising is that Imane Sadrati actually has dared to complain. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the […]
Canada funds Palestinian Authority ad against abuse of women, yet PA condones domestic violence as per Islamic law
Normative Islam divides the world into two parts: the House of War (Dar al Harb) and the House of Islam. The House of Islam is directed to conquer the House of War. Deceiving the infidel is perfectly acceptable in Islam because, as a hadith has Muhammad say, “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4:52:269). The Palestinian Authority […]
Swiss government calls on voters to reject nationwide burqa ban in upcoming referendum
A nationwide referendum on the banning of the burqa/niqab (full facial coverings) takes place in Switzerland on March 7. The burqa and niqab have no place in any society that upholds equality between males and females, and in societies which want to protect national security. As long as loyalty to identity politics, which loyalty hinges […]
Afghanistan: Oxfam report worries that peace talks will ‘jeopardize fragile gains made for women’s rights’
Gains for women’s rights in Afghanistan, you say? Over the past two decades? Do tell! Are Afghan women no longer forced to wear burqas? Are they attending schools without fear of jihad attacks designed to discourage women from getting an education? Are they able to institute police proceedings against men who beat them? There have […]
Saudi Arabia: Another women’s rights activist jailed for ‘terrorism’
Saudi Arabia boasts of “reform” to impress its Western friends of mutual convenience, but there is good reason to be skeptical. Its support for ISIS was no secret. Even the left-leaning Independent proclaimed that “both Saudi Arabia and Isis are founded in Islamic law, with Saudi Arabia being the only state recognised internationally that owes […]
Pakistan: Each year, 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam
The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and […]
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem: Women not allowed to travel alone, must be accompanied by male relative
Hussein is no “extremist.” A manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar, the foremost authority in Sunni Islam, as “conforming to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community,” stipulates: “[A] woman may not leave the city without her husband or a member of her unmarriageable kin accompanying her, unless the journey is obligatory, […]
Germany: ‘Moderate’ migrant imam recommends removal of women’s clitorises to reduce their sexual desire
He is a “moderate,” but he knows that female genital mutilation (FGM) is justified in Islamic law. “It is a religious thing. Do you want to change religion?” said one Egyptian in response to a campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation. “You only listen to what the West is saying.” The establishment media ignores the […]
Brownback: Pakistan is marketing Hindu and Christian women as ‘concubines’ and ‘forced brides’ to China
This is a result of the devaluation of the lives of non-Muslims in Islamic law. These women are seen as commodities even more than Muslim women are. Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law, explains matter-of-factly that “the indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity […]
