The advocates of stoning can and do claim that they are simply implementing Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, maintained that the punishment of stoning for adultery (this story doesn’t specify the method of punishment, but the outcome of the punishment is the same in any case) was originally in the […]

Fatwa declares Pakistan constitution a “perfect Islamic document,” fully Sharia-compliant
The federal government of Pakistan obtained this fatwa in order to try to stave off the Taliban, which is demanding that Sharia be implemented. The ominous aspect of the fatwa is that it ratifies Pakistan’s existing legal system, including the blasphemy law that Islamic supremacists use to victimize so many non-Muslims. “Religious decree: ‘Constitution completely […]
Pakistan: Muslims torture Christian to force him to convert to Islam and threaten to kidnap his children
“There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256) but in practice, all too often Islamic supremacists find room in that phrase for all manner of coercion. What constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. After all, the institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be […]
Pakistan: 500 women and girls murdered in Islamic honor killings each year, many more go unreported
This article, like most about honor killings, never once mentions Islam. This steadfast and universal refusal to identify the root cause of honor murders only ensures that there will be more of them. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by […]
Pakistan: Devout Muslim students stone other students for celebrating Valentine’s Day, fire on police, set hostel ablaze
Islamic supremacists don’t just want to bypass and denigrate Valentine’s Day. They want you to do so also, and if you don’t, the stones and bullets will start flying. Here again we see that morality in Islamic culture is not so much a matter of virtue freely chosen, but of people living in terror of […]
Pakistan: Police torture to death innocent Christian; Christians “usually treated worse by police”
“The Church did not get involved because ‘Sabir Masih is a Christian,’” and “anyone, ‘Muslim or any other religion,’ could have been in his place. At the heart of the matter is police brutality, which should be stopped regardless of religion.” However, “if a Christian is detained, he ‘usually is treated worse by police or […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihadists bomb police bus, murdering 13 and wounding 47
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said that the attack was revenge for the killing of jihad terrorists. Revenge attacks are hallowed by the Qur’an: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, […]
Pakistan Taliban say they have 500 female jihad/martyrdom suicide bombers ready to die
This is probably an empty threat. We have seen Islamic jihadists before boast about having huge numbers of jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers all ready to go. Still, it could be true. The Qur’an promises Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111), although it never explains what that Paradise is like for women. […]
Pakistan’s “University of Jihad”: “Hand over everything to Taliban, and bring back Islamic Law”
How is it that at an Islamic seminary, where all academic study is devoted to understanding the Qur’an and Sunnah properly, there could be supporters of violent jihad? Don’t these students read the Qur’an peaceful texts that rule out all terrorism, about which we hear so much in the West? How is it that they […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihadists throw grenades into crowded movie theatre, murdering eleven people
These Islamic jihadists think that it is sinful to see movies. And to drive that point home, they resort to murder. They do not think it is sinful to murder people who watch movies. It is only sinful to watch them. This is what is behind the Islamic critique of Western immorality: a culture of […]
