A culture of violence: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them […]
Germany: Muslim migrant forced girlfriend to live by the Qur’an, beat her savagely when she disobeyed
We reported at Jihad Watch on a similar case in Germany just days ago, involving another Muslim migrant who brutally beat his wife.

Pakistan has issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement human rights leader Gulalai Ismail.

Pakistan: School district distributes burqas to schoolgirls to prevent their being raped
An update on this story: local school officials have mandated the burqa for schoolgirls to keep them from being raped. This is because, as we have noted many times, the onus is entirely on the woman to prevent men from being tempted. If he is tempted, it’s her fault. The burqa is an attempt to […]
Nigeria: Muslim chains up teenage daughter for two years for refusing arranged marriage
Muhammad Ujujud chained up his son also. The Qur’an specifies this punishment for lesbian activity and requires four witnesses.

Pakistan: Lack of marriage law for Christians and other infidels encourages conversion to Islam
“The lack of a law regulating Christian marriage in Pakistan is encouraging couples who wish to remarry to convert to Islam.” This is because there are no laws for Christians and other infidels to divorce in Pakistan, even in cases where abuse might be involved. Millions of infidel citizens are affected by the lack of […]
Russia: Mufti of Moscow says “legalizing polygamy would guarantee women’s rights”
It is not surprising that he would think this way. Polygamy is allowed in the Qur’an (4:3). Thus for a believing and informed Muslim there can be no dissent from this. But his remark is nonetheless fanciful. The reality is that polygamy reduces women to commodities and has been a source of untold misery over […]
Ayatollah Khamenei: “If Women Were to Wear the Hijab,” They’ll be Spared “Depraved Behavior”
The recent directive of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in Pakistan that schoolgirls cover up in order to prevent “unethical incidents” calls to mind the fact that Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, has said much the same thing. He has contended that Islam holds the answer to the problems of sexual mistreatment of women in […]
Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government makes it mandatory for schoolgirls cover up to keep from being raped
The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan, which is dominated by Imran Khan’s ruling party, has issued a decree ordering all girls in public schools to wear “a gown, abaya, veil, or chadar” to protect them from rampant harassment, sex abuse and even murder.
