Women Under Sharia

Sharia Law Dehumanizes Women

by Clare M. Lopez

We’re all still dealing with the abominations committed by HAMAS and civilian Gazan jihadis on October 7, 2023. Israelis will be dealing with the horrors perpetrated against their women and girls for the rest of their lives. In fact, we should not, must not forget. Not now, during the month of March, which is Women’s History Month, and not ever. The theme running through all of this month’s articles is the dehumanization of women that seems hard-wired into Islamic Law (sharia) — or at least the way sharia culture is inculcated into the men who grow up under its influence.

“A ‘male’ humanoid robot was unveiled in Saudi Arabia. It then inappropriately touched a female reporter”, by Joshua Zitser at Business Insider, March 12, 2024

  • So, in Saudi Arabia, even the robots treat women like sexual objects — seems we need to wonder about the algorithms programmed into them!

“Document Shows Iranian Protester Raped Before Murder” by Nika Shakarami at Iran International, February 21, 2024

  • The Iran International Iranian dissident group, that produces TV programming and published articles from its London headquarters, seems able repeatedly to breach the servers of official Iranian regime agencies. Here, the group has obtained a trove of documents from inside the Iranian judiciary. This report documents a “state sanctioned campaign of sexual violence” against protesters during the “Women, Life, Freedom” protests that swept through Iran following the murder of Mahsa Amini by Iranian police in 2022. Sexual violence against Iranian dissidents and protesters, both male and female, has been a recurring abuse documented throughout the now 45-year rule of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

You Were in Their Territory — You Should Have Worn the Veil

The Italian journalist Eugenia Fiore recently paid a visit to a no-go zone in France as part of her investigation into the murder of a high school teacher by a culture-enriching “youth” named Mohammed. She and her camera crew were attacked for filming in front of a mosque, and Ms. Fiore was knocked to the ground, beaten, and kicked. The police were of no help. They averred that the journalist was, after all, Muslim territory, and besides, she hadn’t been veiled.

You had it coming to you, girl!

City of Stockholm grants one million kronor to Ibn Rushd — stops contributions to association against honor violence

March 28, 2024

Last December the city of Stockholm paused a planned payment of 3.9 million kronor to the controversial study association Ibn Rushd after the Public Education Council determined that the study association’s teaching materials dealt with child abuse, child marriage, and described homosexuality as a sin. But on Tuesday, the Cultural Committee in Stockholm decided to resume the payments, Swedish Radio reports.

The criticized material was reportedly used by the study association in other places than in Stockholm, and after Ibn Rushd came back with a plan of action as the city was visiting the association’s operations, the payments to the association were resumed.

At the same time, the city of Stockholm stopped payments of 600,000 kronor per year to the association “Never forget Peta and Fadime” (GAPF), which works against honor oppression. The reason is that a board member of the association put up postings on his private Facebook page that the city views as breaking the city’s guidelines.

GAPF states in a press release that it has distanced itself from the board member’s now-deleted posts and that the association has taken measures such as updating its communication policy and ethical guidelines, as well as conducting training for staff and personnel, but the city of Stockholm is standing by its decision.

“We wonder how the city really works within democracy. How can a study association that has links to the Muslim Brotherhood and has been involved in brokering temporary marriage contracts, i.e. trafficking in women’s bodies according to a disclosure by Uppdrag Gransking [Assignment Examination] qualify for support but not us, who strongly help and protect vulnerable women and girls?” says Sara Mohammad, founder of GAPF, in a statement.

Since the election, the city of Stockholm has been run by a coalition made up of Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party.

Interview With Edwin Wagensveld

I’ve reported in the past (most recently here) on the actions by Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida, who has publicly torn up and burned Korans, provoking a violent response from “Dutch” culture-enrichers and causing him to be arrested by police multiple occasions. Mr. Wagensveld was recently banned from entering the town of Arnhem.

Below is an interview with Edwin Wagensveld conducted by Vlad Tepes. Many thanks to RAIR Foundation for uploading this video:

Breaking Bad

I don’t know about you, but after a hard day of starvation, I like to break my Ramadan fast with a yummy bar of KitKat™ Iftar chocolate!

My sweetie feels the same way — as soon as the sun sets, she can’t wait to go behind the modesty screen, lift the top of her burka, and break off a delicious bite of KitKat®.

Seriously, though — this report from Canada is pretty sickening. I’m used to corporate pandering to the Muslim market, but this Iftar chocolate product is really pushing the envelope.

Below are excerpts from a report by RAIR Foundation on this popular halal product. I couldn’t bear to embed the two KitKat© commercials, but I include links to the videos (or you can see the embeds in the original). Marion Maréchal is a different matter, though — I left in the embed of her video:

Ramadan Conquest: Nestlé’s KitKat ‘Iftar Bars’ and Western Cultural Erosion

by Amy Mek

Nestle Iftar bars represent not a celebration of multiculturalism but rather a troubling trend of cultural appeasement and submission to Islam.

The launch of Nestlé’s KitKat Iftar Bars in Canada for Ramadan is another example of Western corporations promoting the Islamization of nations for profit. This move, marketed as a gesture of “inclusivity” to a religion that does not extend inclusivity beyond Islam, is viewed as a calculated attempt to profit financially while undermining the cultural identity of the host nation.

While regular KitKats typically feature two or four chocolate-covered wafer fingers, this Islamized version boasts 30 fingers — one for each day of the holy month.

[Video 1]

Nestle Canada claims that this Ramadan snack was crafted to honor the Iftar tradition observed by Muslims, where they break their fast at sunset with an evening meal after abstaining from food and drink throughout the morning and afternoon during Ramadan. With KitKat’s iconic advertising slogan, “Have a break,” the company aims to celebrate the breaking of the fast at sundown.

[Video 2]

However, these Nestle Iftar bars represent not a celebration of multiculturalism but rather a troubling trend of cultural appeasement and submission to Islam. This trend is not unique to Canada; it’s seen throughout Europe, with initiatives like Ramadan lights in Oslo, Norway, and Frankfurt, Germany, symbolizing a broader pattern of accommodation that threatens Western cultural identity.

The current crackdown on free speech is occurring simultaneously virtually everywhere in the Western world. The following example is from The Netherlands, but similar instances could be adduced from other countries. The worst offenders are probably Canada and the UK, but it’s hard to say for sure.

Raisa Blommestijn criminally prosecuted due to her tweets

March 24, 2024

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has filed a criminal prosecution against the legal commentator Raisa Blommestijn. The reason for this is her comments on social media from last year. “This is indicative of the state of the West,” Blommestijn wrote on X.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office filed the prosecution last year due to Blommestijn’s tweets about migrant violence. This was confirmed by the legal commentator herself on X after an earlier report by the opinion maker Ashley St. Clair.

Violent video at Bijimar Arena Station

The reason for this is the tweets that Blommestijn wrote after a violent video went viral last year. In the video, an Italian tourist at the Bijimar Station was beaten and thrown onto the tracks by a group of youths with a migration background. The images went all over the Internet.

Blommestijn devoted a number of reports to it on X (formerly Twitter). “Every day, people are raped, beaten, intimidated, and slaughtered by migrants. The elite have opened the borders and deliberately forfeited our safety. Our home destroyed. And we let it happen. We let it happen. When is enough enough?” wrote the legal commentator, among other things.

For years, people with a migration background have been overrepresented in crime statistics. Not just in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Sweden. meanwhile, the Hungarian capital, Budapest, where there is hardly any mass immigration, is considered the safest place in continental Europe.

“Negroid primates”

Shortly afterward, the Forum for Democracy MP Gideon van Meijeren denounced the violent incident in the Tweede Kamer [House of Representatives]. Here he used the term “Negroid primates” to describe the rioters at the station. A ruckus arose over this terminology, to the dissatisfaction of Van Meijeren. He did not think it was racist, but a factual designation: “Primates” referring to the primitive behavior of the youths, “Negroid” referring to their skin color.

To show support, Blommestijn decided to use his terminology in her tweets. But a few months later, she noticed that her tweets were deleted because she was reportedly in conflict with Dutch law. Therefore, the legal commentator decided to repost the tweets, in her words, “to show how far censorship now goes”.

Criminal prosecution

For the Public Prosecutor’s Office, this was a step too far. In August, Blommestijn received a telephone call saying that a criminal prosecution was being filed against her on suspicion of insulting a group of people and provoking hate and discrimination (Article 137c of the Criminal Code).

At Easter: “High” terror danger — Karner increases police presence

Due to the danger of terrorism, Easter celebrations will be monitored by more police. Reportedly no indication of concrete dangers.

March 23, 2024

The danger of terrorism remains high in Austria, according to Interior Minister Gerhard Karner. Therefore, during the days of Easter, more police will be deployed. In particular, the Easter markets and Easter masses will have increased police monitoring.

There will likely be a larger contingent of police in uniform and plainclothes in the coming days, the Interior Minister reported on Saturday. However, there are currently no indications of a concrete danger.

“High” threat level for terrorism and extremism

The risk level in relation to Islamist extremism and terrorism continues to be rated as “high” by the State Security and Intelligence Service. This is the second-highest level. Although “to date, there is no indication of a concrete danger,” Easter celebrations and Easter markets are “symbols of a high Christian festival combined with gatherings of people in public spaces.”

The Federal Police Directorate has ordered special protective measures, “in order to ensure as safe a process as possible for participants”, they state. This also applies to the Jewish Passover festival from 22-30 April.

“The police work around the clock for the safety of Austrians, and this is also required at Easter. Everything will be done there to ensure the safety of Easter markets and Easter celebrations as best as possible,” Interior Minister Karner assured.

Due to attack plots against the Vienna city center, the police had already increased security measures shortly before Christmas and warned of attack plots against Christmas markets and worship services. During the Christmas holidays, St. Stephen’s Cathedral was guarded by elite police.

ISIS vs. the FSB: Who Will Win?

Arrests after attack in Moscow ++ Terrorists hide in the forest ++ ISIS claims responsibility for the crime that left 93 dead

First arrests after the Moscow attack!

According to the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB, eleven arrests have been made so far following the attack on a concert hall near Moscow. Four of those arrested are said to have been directly involved in the attack on the event center, FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said on Saturday, according to the Russian state news agency Tass.

On Saturday morning, MP Alexander Chinstein announced two arrests: The suspected getaway vehicle was stopped in the Bryansk region with weapons inside, Chinstein writes on his Telegram channel. Other suspects were being searched for in a forest, according to a politician from the Kremlin party United Russia.

The vehicle failed to stop during a police chase on Friday evening, was shot at and then overturned. “One terrorist was arrested on the spot, the others hid in the forest,” said Chinstein. A second suspect was arrested early in the morning. The number of deaths has now risen to 93.

The search for the other suspected perpetrators will continue. A pistol, a cartridge magazine and a Kalashnikov as well as passports of citizens of the Central Asian Republic of Tajikistan were found inside the vehicle.

After the terrorist attack on an event center in Moscow, investigators seized weapons and ammunition in the building. This was shown in a short video released by Russia’s State Investigative Committee early Saturday morning. On display were a Kalashnikov submachine gun and belts full of magazines. The investigators collected bags of spent cartridges.

The victims of the attack had all been taken out of the building by Saturday morning, the Russian state news agency Tass reported, citing a correspondent at the scene. According to authorities, 93 people were killed and around dozens injured in Crocus City Hall on Friday evening when several gunmen opened fire. Firefighters battled a fire for hours in the huge building, which burned in an area of almost 13,000 square meters. After it was initially said that the fire was under control, open flames appeared again in the morning, as Tass reported. They came from inside the building and were clearly visible on the roof. The fire department extinguished the fire with water from outside. Firefighting helicopters that were initially in use were withdrawn. Crocus City, with concert and event halls as well as a shopping center, is located right on the outskirts of Moscow in the city of Krasnogorsk.

Terror expert Neumann: IS letter claiming responsibility for attack near Moscow is real

The terrorist militia Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack early on. A search was carried out at night for the perpetrators, without any new information.

Terror expert Peter Neumann from King’s College in London believes the letter of responsibility from the terrorist militia Islamic State for the attack near Moscow is genuine. “The message of confession was broadcast through all official IS channels. I and my colleagues can confirm this 100%,” Neumann wrote on Twitter.

When Italian Law Clashes With Quranic Law, Quranic Law Prevails

The following video reports on illegal mosques that are operating in the Italian city of Monfalcone, one of them in the oratory of a church.

It’s important to note that the church facility could not be used for Muslim prayers without the permission of church officials, who are at least nominally Christian. The issue here is not what the Muslims are doing, but what the Christians are doing — that is, their pre-emptive surrender to the hosts of Mohammed.

No Longer Welcome in Arnhem

Posted on by

I’ve reported a number of times on the Islamophobic actions of Edwin Wagensveld (the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida), most recently his attempt to burn a Koran in Arnhem. His activities sometimes provoke a violent response on the part of “Dutch” culture-enrichers, and on more than one occasion have caused him to be arrested by police.

Mr. Wagensveld has become persona non grata in Arnhem, to the extent that he is now banned from entering the city. The ban was issued by the mayor — whose first name is Ahmed, which tells you all you need to know.

Pegida leader gets 6-month local ban in Arnhem

March 21, 2024

Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the radical-right group Pegida, cannot enter the city of Arnhem for six months. Mayor Ahmed Marcouch has imposed a local ban on Wagensveld. The ban goes into immediate effect.

Marcouch will reconsider the ban after three months, he has informed Wagensveld.

The Pegida leader wanted to burn a Koran next Saturday on Jans Square in Arnhem. On Wednesday, Marcouch forbade that on the advice of the police out of fear of chaos and because there would be concrete terrorist fears.

Wagensveld said on social media that he would definitely come to Arnhem on Saturday. The mayor reacted that the Pegida leader would definitely not enter Arnhem. Now Marcouch has imposed a local ban on him.

Wagensveld is not allowed to appear anywhere in Arnhem because of the ban. He is allowed to travel through Arnhem by train or bus but is not allowed to get off. Arnhem is a central station for trains to and from Germany, where Wagensveld lives. There is also an exception in the case that he might have to appear in the courthouse in Arnhem.

Police cannot guarantee safety

The mayor of Arnhem fears that the arrival of Wagensveld will attract groups and individuals who will try to stop him with violence or try to prevent his actions.

In addition, there are probably groups who also want to commit acts of violence. Marcouch speaks of a “high degree of probability.” There are concrete threats against the Pegida leader.

Marcouch expects that many more counter-demonstrators will come to Arnhem via calls on social media shortly before the demonstration, “which increases the unpredictability and thus, the uncontrollability of the anticipated serious disorder.” Police say safety cannot be guaranteed, even with the deployment of a large police presence.

Wagensveld tried to burn a Koran in Arnhem on January 13. That did not occur because there were many counter-demonstrators. The demonstration turned into riots and fights.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden, Part 17

Preliminary investigation against Egyptson dropped

The preliminary investigation against Sameh Egyptson’s attention-grabbing and debated dissertation on political Islam has been dropped, Prosecutor Pia Björnsson tells TT News.

In February of last year, the researcher Sameh Egyptson presented the dissertation, “Global Political Islam? The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Federation in Sweden” at Lund University.

In his dissertation Egyptson advanced the thesis that the Islamic Federation is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which means that Sweden is infiltrated by political Islam.

In the dissertation several persons were named as being active in the Islamic Federation in Sweden or some of the Islamic Federation’s sub-organizations, which led to several reports to the Appeals Board for Ethics Review (Önep).

Önep prosecuted the dissertation since it was considered that Egyptson used sensitive personal information without ethics review permission, and in February, Prosecutor Pia Björnsson initiated a preliminary investigation into Egyptson’s dissertation to determine if Egyptson had permission to conduct the research.

“I consider that I did research within the framework of academic freedom. This is an attempt to deter researchers from working on important societal issues,” said Egyptson to Dagens Nyheter when the investigation was launched.

But now the investigation has been dropped. “This was expected since I began my dissertation before the law (2003:460) on ethics review even existed, something my critics didn’t care about when they reported me,” Egyptson writes in a posting on the X platform.

“My hope now is that the Ethics Review law will be reworked so that researchers will be able to feel free without fear to choose controversial and debated topics, and that it will be possible to research public persons in leading positions, based on public sources and their own public statements, without this being deemed as ‘sensitive personal information’ and being forbidden from researching it,” Egyptson further writes.

Culture-Enriching “Germans” Thwarted in Their Planned Attack on Sweden

Two Afghans have been arrested in the German city of Gera, in Thuringia, for plotting an attack on the Swedish parliament.

Thuringia: Two terror suspects arrested in Gera

by Nadja Lissok and Alex Ruele
March 19, 2024

The two men from Afghanistan allegedly planned an attack not far from the Swedish parliament, according to the accusation by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.

On Tuesday, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office ordered the arrest of two alleged Islamists in Gera (Thuringia) on suspicion of terrorism. The two men are accused of planning an attack near the Swedish Parliament with firearms, a spokeswoman in Karlsruhe reported.

The attack would have been a reaction to the Koran-burnings in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries last summer. The two Afghans reportedly received directions from an affiliate of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the prosecuting authorities report. Their mission was reportedly to kill police and other people in and around the Swedish Parliament. According to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, the two suspects scouted out possible attack sites on the Internet and unsuccessfully attempted to obtain weapons. In addition, they allegedly collected donations in Germany for the Islamic State of some €2,000.

Revenge on behalf of the Islamic State

In December of last year, two Syrian brothers who were living in Germany were sentenced to prison for planning to detonate an explosive belt in a Swedish church. Their motive was revenge for the repeated Koran-burnings. The Islamic State had given them the assignment to target a church. In October, a Tunisian Islamist, who was living illegally in Brussels, shot two Swedish football fans on the street and injured two others during a qualification game. In a confessional video, he also claimed to be acting in the name of ISIS. The man was shot by police.

The accused from Gera are expected to be brought before an investigating judge on Tuesday or Wednesday. There the arrest warrants will be opened, which were issued almost two weeks ago. The question of possible pre-trial detention will also be decided. Specifically, the investigators accuse the two of belonging to and supporting a terrorist association abroad and conspiracy to commit a crime, in this case, murder, as well as violations of the Foreign Trade Law.

A Historic Event Just Happened

Posted on by

I reported last week on the intifada staged outside of the Holocaust museum during its official opening in Amsterdam. The incident was organized by the demonic convergence of Muslims and the far Left. Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends this report with details and historical background for what happened in Amsterdam.

A historic event just happened

by H. Numan

A week ago the extreme Left blew any chance of governing the country for the foreseeable future. Femke Halsema, the mayor of Amsterdam, denies everything. However, she was deeply involved in the anti-Semitic demonstration during the opening of the Holocaust museum in Amsterdam. That museum was not something set up in an available building. Nope. It was set up in the exact building where the deportations were organized. Inside the king, the government, the president of Israel and the elites were painfully embarrassed by the pogrom going on outside. You know, because it was reported here. However, there is much more going on than just a national humiliation of epic proportions. This wasn’t a demonstration; it was a pogrom. And like the one in Germany, orchestrated by the (municipal) government. A real, full-blown pogrom.

During WW2 the Dutch elites and entire civil service were, as we call, it ‘fout’ (wrong). They served the Germans far better and much more efficiently than our own quislings. Almost all Jews were rounded up and exterminated. Our national railway company NS was praised by Himmler himself for her excellent work and superior management in shipping Jews directly to concentration camps deep inside Germany. The police had to be reorganized after the war to regain popular support. It took them until the early ’70s before that happened. The Dutch ID card was the most difficult to forge of all ID cards in Europe issued on German orders.

Westerbork is the most infamous concentration camp in The Netherlands. Westerbork was set up near a remote village in Drenthe (itself a remote province) to house Jewish refugees from Germany. It should have been Het Loo. Somewhat too close for comfort for queen Wilhelmina, who had a residence, the palace Het Loo, in the area. She explicitly forbade building a Jewish refugee center. She didn’t want to have ‘that’ kind of people, even ten miles away, from her royal palace. The Germans were pleasantly surprised to find it, full with refugees. Saved them a lot of work.

After the war people realized what had happened and made amends. Since WW2 The Netherlands has been a staunch ally of Israel. Even the Labor party strongly supported Israel during the Six Day War. The (Labor) prime minister personally called his counterpart and said: “Don’t worry. We’re behind you all the way.” The minister of defense ensured vital military cargo was sent to Israel. Even though it was outright illegal. He was a reprehensible guy for defense, but morally commendable. That’s something you have to know why the Dutch as a nation are such strong Israel supporters.

That pro-Israel stance changed in the Labor party when New Left (young far-left highly educated socialists) took over. A pro-Israel stance was never present further to the Left, in parties such as the Socialist and Communist Parties. It disappeared in the Labor party when they dropped the common man and picked up mohammedan migrants. It’s now completely gone since they were merged with the communist party. GL stands for Green Left, and is the communist party in all but name. The communist party was never popular here, with little support from the common man. Their support comes from the disenchanted upper middle class.

When Labor and the conservative VVD became more progressive, they electorally declined. Labor so much that they merged into GL. GL didn’t decline, or at least not as much, because they attract extremists and weren’t that big anyway. You can’t decline if there is nothing to decline, right?

Then the opening of the Holocaust museum happened. I was appalled. Not just me, the entire nation was flabbergasted. Humiliated. How did something like that happen here?? Not only that, but it is organized. Yes, Femke Halsema claims she didn’t know anything about it, but she almost always lies.
