Islam defeats Free Speech in Europe

European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) sets ominous precedent, enforces Sharia restrictions on speech concerning Islam, criminalizes criticism of Muhammad. In Europe, Free Speech Bows to Sharia By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY, National Review , October 27, 2018 Europeans are free to say only what the courts let them. When he was 50, the prophet of Islam took as his wife Aisha, who was then six or seven. The marriage was consummated when Aisha was nine. This is not a smear. It is an accurate account of authoritative Islamic scripture. (See, e.g., Sahih-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Book 58, Nos. 234–236 .)

Islam's Conflict With Western Values & Human Rights

The study found that though 69% (742 million) of Muslims want to live under sharia, those who support the harsh "hudud" punishments (stoning for adultery, amputation for theft, death for apostasy, etc.) ranged from 35% - 45%. Since these punishments are derived directly from the Quran, hadith, and sunna, support for them undoubtedly comes from Muslims who promote the traditional interpretation of those texts. This group, consisting of 41% (369...

VIDEO: Robert Spencer, 'Why Muslim Persecution of Christians Has Escalated'

In this new video, Robert Spencer, bestselling author and director of Jihad Watch, explains "why Christian communities that have existed in the Middle East since the time of Christ have in recent years been attacked, and in many cases obliterated, by Islamic jihadis. Why are the jihadis attacking the Christians now?" Robert Spencer reveals the surprising answer, rooted in an historical anomaly dating back 150 years. Thank God for Robert Spencer's indefatigable work in reporting and exposing the threat from Islam, Jihad, and Sharia.
