The Bahalim Student Fund was set up last year at Brandeis, made possible by a donation from Ammad Bahalim ’04.

Ilhan Omar and “Western Imperialism”
On November 3, at a political rally with Bernie Sanders in Minneapolis, Ilhan Omar exclaimed that she was happy to have endorsed, and to campaign for, a candidate who “will fight against Western imperialism and fight for a just world.” One would like to know what Omar meant by “Western imperialism.” The Americans never had […]
“Child marriage is not regarded as forced marriage in Switzerland and is therefore not prohibited”
This means that Switzerland will only see more child marriage, because as Muslim migrants stream into the country, many of them will bring with them certain attitudes. Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child […]
Toronto: Muslim charged with 54 sexual assault-related offenses, including many with children
Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.

Over 245 million Christians are persecuted around the world, some are being killed, mostly in Muslim countries
The ten worst countries for Christians are North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen, Iran, and India. Hmmm. With the exception of North Korea, Eritrea (partially) and India, there is something all those countries have in common. What, oh what, could it possibly be? Vernon Brewer doesn’t mention what it is, and in […]
Malta: Muslim migrants riot, battle police, set fires at holding center
“Police arrested some 107 migrants for their role in the riots that overran a migrant holding centre on the island nation of Malta.” The riots were more than a melee stemming from an argument over a drunken migrant being “refused re-entry into the center because he was drunk.” According to Aljazeera, which is, of course, […]
India: Islamic girls’ schools are “finishing schools for child brides”
Imagine the embarrassment Indian authorities will feel when they discover that child marriage is sanctioned in Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in […]
Algeria: police kick Christians out of churches days after protests over government crackdown on houses of worship
Persecution of Christians is intensifying in Algeria, with increasing church closures and backlash by Muslim families against Christians who are open about their faith. In a recent incident, “Christians in north-central Algeria were kicked out of their churches by police just days after many faithful protested the government’s crackdown on houses of worship.” “The influence […]
Bosch Fawstin video: a warning to Jews about the Islamic agenda and the “peace process”
In this video, Bosch Fawstin, an artist who was raised Muslim, is interviewed. He cautions Westerners about “empathy for Islam, the Palestinian ‘resistance’, and Muslim immigration,” due to the jihad threat and the Islamic imperialist imperative to dominate non-Muslim societies, aka the House of War. Bosch focuses primarily on the drive to “carve up Israel” […]
Pope Francis Elevates an Interfaith-Healing Archbishop
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, about whom I wrote Monday, is not the only one. There is also Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald (no relation). The disquieting story is here: Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, former head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, has been made a cardinal by Pope Francis. The Walsall-born White Father, who is now based at […]
