Not surprisingly, the problem is framed in terms of “tribal” issues and not any religious ones. But the tribal courts and the societies that depend on them are informed by the letter and spirit of Islamic law, which cannot be discounted in a discussion of the challenges of improving the rights of women in Islamic countries. Qur’an 4:34 validates the idea of violence as a recourse against “disobedient” women. Qur’an 2:282 renders a woman’s testimony as worth half that of a man, and women’s testimony is routinely inadmissible in cases of adultery under Sharia. And Qur’an 24:13, a conveniently timed revelation that took the heat off of Muhammad’s wife Aisha when she was accused of adultery, has led to the nearly impossible requirement of having four witnesses to establish the crime of rape under Sharia.

These concepts, believed to originate from the mouth of Allah, have played a role in forming the consciences of those who operate and seek the judgment of local jirga courts, contributing to the treatment of women as possessions and commodities, the use of violence to “control” or make an example of them, and the under-reporting of crimes against them, including honor killings and rape.

Women who report the crimes face a second wave of assault — one that is often court-ordered.

Your life under Islam. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Unmentioned in all of this ‘cultural enrichment’ (Muslim immigrant riots) is the fact that if the Ottomans were in charge these people would be lining the roads with stakes up their butts. Muslims don’t put up with this shit from other Muslims; that Europeans do merely encourages them.

When a wealthy culture-enricher in Vancouver needed a household slave, she sent off to Africa to get herself one. According to the RCMP, by the time the authorities found out what she had done, she had gone abroad to visit relatives, and wasn’t available to be interviewed when Canadian TV news came to call.

The news reporters in this clip can’t bring themselves to use the words “Islamic” or “Muslim”. However, the slaveholder is said to have regularly visited a mosque, so viewers may draw their own conclusions.

There is no incompatibility between Islam and slavery; indeed, slavery wasn’t officially abolished in Saudi Arabia until 1962.

It was the beginning of an Afghan love story that flouted dominant traditions of arranged marriages and close family scrutiny, a romance between two teenagers of different ethnicities that tested a village’s tolerance for more modern whims of the heart. The results were delivered with brutal speed.

This month, a group of men spotted the couple riding together in a car, yanked them into the road and began to interrogate the boy and girl. Why were they together? What right had they? An angry crowd of 300 surged around them, calling them adulterers and demanding that they be stoned to death or hanged.

We posted a couple of weeks ago about the appearance of “shariah-controlled zone” posters in the Waltham Forest area of East London. There was some speculation in the comments on that post about whether these posters were authentically Islamic, or whether they were perhaps put up by anti-jihad activists trying to discredit Muslims. And they did seem somewhat more explicitly fundamentalist than most Muslim propaganda, with the possible exception of the ravings of the notorious firebrand Anjem Choudary.

If growing numbers of Muslims in Egypt have an intrinsic hatred for all things Christian— demonstrated days ago by the torching of eight Christian homes on the rumor that a church was being built—let us not forget that this hate has instrumental, that is, economic benefits: the extortion of money from the non-believer—tribute from the conquered infidels to their Islamic overlords—otherwise known as jizya.

Lots of newspaper coverage about supposed Mormon polygamists — and attention from law enforcement — but everybody looks the other way when Muslims are polygamous.

Mohammed, who was clad in a peach linen suit, was booted out of the store, but stormed back in minutes later and cornered Perry in the meat aisle, two employees said. He then allegedly whipped out a razor and slashed Perry across the neck.

Five weeks after the fall of the Egyptian regime, Ayman Anwar Mitri’s apartment was torched. When he showed up to investigate, he was bundled inside by bearded Islamists.

Mr. Mitri is a member of the Christian Coptic minority that accounts for one-tenth of the country’s 83 million people. The Islamists accused him of having rented the apartment—by then unoccupied—to loose Muslim women.

Inside the burnt apartment, they beat him with the charred remains of his furniture. Then, one of them produced a box cutter and performed what he considered an appropriate punishment under Islam: He amputated Mr. Mitri’s right ear.

“When they were beating me, they kept saying: ‘We won’t leave any Christians in this country,'” Mr. Mitri recalled in a recent interview, two months after the March attack. Blood dripped through a plastic tube from his unhealed wound to a plastic container. “Here, there is a war against the Copts,” he said.

His attackers, who were never arrested or prosecuted, follow the ultrafundamentalist Salafi strain of Islam that promotes an austere, Saudi-inspired worldview. Before President Hosni Mubarak was toppled on Feb. 11, the Salafis mostly confined themselves to preaching. Since then, they’ve entered the political arena, drawing crowds and swaying government decisions. Salafi militants also have blocked roads, burned churches and killed Copts.

Hundreds of Nepalese women who emigrate to Arab countries in search of better jobs and wages, are unaccounted for. According to husbands and relatives they become victims of prostitution and slavery. The migrants who manage to return, show signs of physical exhaustion, injuries, psychological damage and are often infected with AIDS. To resolve this tragic situation, the Government of Nepal wants to block migration to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan where most cases are registered. In 2010, 242 women emigrated for work and were never heard of again.

‘Sought sanctuary in the churches and mosques’? Sorry, Charlie, that only works against Christians and Jews.

Human rights activists appealed for urgent international pressure on the regime, warning that unless Maher al-Assad was halted, his well-known “thirst for blood” would lead to a massacre.

“The world seems to be standing by as a latter-day Genghis Khan marauds through the country,” one activist in Damascus said.

“Maher is a man with a proven record of butchery for butchery’s sake. He takes a sadistic delight in inflicting human misery.”

Funny how they’ve apparently never had a problem with that before now. I guess they were too busy yelling about Israel.

“If the West was prepared to take action at the last minute to save the people of Benghazi from Gaddafi’s retribution, can they not do something to save the people of Jisr al-Shughur?”

Well, that depends. How much oil do we get from Syria? Not a lot, I’m betting.

Britain and France finally submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council on Wednesday following weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations in which Moscow, which has a naval base in the country and regards Mr Assad as an ally, has stubbornly refused to consider international action.

Boy, that U.N. is certainly a useful organization.

Western diplomats indicated Russia was yet to be wholly convinced by the measure, which appeared to be an attempt to expose Moscow to accusations of disregard for human life.

Moscow? Disregard for human life? Why, the very idea!

In an unmistakable message to the Kremlin, David Cameron said in the House of Commons: “If anyone votes against that resolution, or tries to veto it, that should be on their conscience.”

Yeah, that’s a sanction to which the Kremlin has always been sensitive.

22-year old Zakariya “Zak” Boyd is the second defendant to enter into a guilty plea in the case of several men who plotted to wage violent jihad overseas. His father and cell ringleader Daniel Patrick Boyd pleaded guilty on Feb. 9 to one count conspiring to murder, kidnap and maim individuals in a foreign country in addition to one count of material support.

Well, ‘Boyd’ is Scottish, but what kind of a name is ‘Zakariya’?

According to a superseding indictment, Daniel Boyd trained for battle in terrorist camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Along his journey, he met Abdullah Azzam, a mentor of the now deceased al-Qaida head Osama bin Laden. Boyd then tried to pass his radical beliefs on to his own sons.

Daniel Boyd was recorded by the FBI preaching violence to his family. He told his sons Zak and Dylan, another co-defendant, that “the blood of Muslims has become cheap…because most of the Muslims have abandoned jihad.”

Oh. But I thought Muslim extremism was caused by poverty and despair among benighted foreigners?

Last week witnessed popular Muslim preacher Abu Ishaq al-Huwaini boast about how Islam allows Muslims to buy and sell conquered infidel women, so that “When I want a sex-slave, I go to the market and pick whichever female I desire and buy her.”

This week’s depraved anachronism comes from a Muslim woman—Salwa al-Mutairi, a political activist and former parliamentary candidate for Kuwait’s government, no less: She, too, seeks to “revive the institution of sex-slavery.”

All perfectly proper under Islam, which has no problem with slavery whatsoever.

The Kuwaiti female activist begins by insisting that “it’s of course true” that “the prophet of Islam legitimized sex-slavery.” She recounts how when she was in Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, she asked various sheikhs and muftis (learned, authoritative Muslims) about the legality of sex-slavery according to Sharia: they all confirmed it to be perfectly legal; Kuwaiti ulema further pointed out that extra “virile” men—Western synonymous include “sex-crazed,” “lecherous,” “perverted”—would do well to purchase sex-slaves to sate their appetites without sinning.

Note the assumption that Arabs have any interest at all in democracy. (Well, it’s the New York Times; they kinda have to assume that….)

This chronic weakness of civil society suggests that viable Arab democracies — or leaders who could govern them — will not emerge anytime soon. The more likely immediate outcome of the current turmoil is a new set of dictators or single-party regimes.

If Arabs get to vote at all, they don’t vote for the best candidate, or even for the candidate of a particular party; they vote for Uncle Achmed, on the assumption that when Uncle Achmed gets in office (and his hands on that office’s budget), he’ll pass out the patronage.

Mubarak stepped down from power voluntarily. Would he have done so had he known that the new regime would put him on trial for the acts he took as president to preserve his rule? Of course not, he would have fought to the end. All leaders of Muslim countries have corrupt deals for personal gain and use force against people who threaten their regime. Putting on trial a former leader who voluntarily gave up his power assures that no Muslim leader in the future will ever voluntarily give up his power. Power will never change hands except when the former power possessor’s cold dead hands are pried from it.

. . . and she was just 17 years old. Simona was born in Lithuania, when that nation was still under the heel of Soviet despotism. When she was 3 years old, her family emigrated to Israel.

On the evening of June 10, 2001, Simona and some friends wanted to attend a dance party for young emigres from the former Soviet Union.

The beachfront disco that Simona visited that night in June 2001 was at the Dolphinarium, scene of one of the most heinous atrocities of the Second Antifada — a suicide bombing that killed 21 people, 16 of whom were just teenagers.

Simona’s killer was Sa’id Hasan Houtari. Both Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad initially claimed credit for the bombing, but it was eventually determined that Hamas was responsible. News of this murderous atrocity “was greeted with jubilation in Ramallah and parts of Gaza, where people danced in the streets and fired guns in the air. ” Documents captured during Israel’s 2002 military invasion of the West Bank showed that the Palestinian Authority had paid $2,000 to the family of the suicide bomber Houtari, who was celebrated as a “martyr” by the Palestinians.
