Terror is the only tool in the Taliban’s box for bringing about adherence to its rules, because it’s the only tool the Qur’an gives them: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an […]
Germany: Muslim students urge German girls to wear hijab, uncovered hair is ‘haram’

UK: Muslim mother said her daughter ‘needed to be killed’ because she stopped wearing hijab
In the West, non-Muslim annually don the hijab on World Hijab Day, in order to show solidarity with the allegedly oppressed Muslim women who are supposedly persecuted for wearing the hijab.

Taliban threaten families of UN female staff to try to force them to quit their work
In 2021, when the Taliban was trying to squeeze money out of the international community, it “reassured” the UN about the safety of humanitarian workers in Afghanistan, even providing written assurances that “aid agencies will be able to operate independently of government and will be free to employ women.” The Taliban lied, as do all […]
Bangladesh: Islamic organizations oppose proposal to criminalize marital rape
Why? Because criminalizing such a thing would be un-Islamic. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460).
