“UN Called to Respond to Sharia Violence against Women” by Raymond Ibrahim at Gatestone Institute, March 25, 2024
This month, we have a series of articles documenting the ongoing, increasing atrocities being committed by the Taliban against Afghan women - including flogging and stoning. Flogging and stoning to death are Islamic Hudud punishments for a specific set of offenses enumerated in the Qur’an. This means that doctrinally speaking, Taliban human rights abuses are neither extremist nor radical, but horrific as they are, instead mainstream, orthodox obedience to the doctrine, laws, and scripture of Islam.

- On March 8, 2024 – International Women’s Day – a formal complaint addressing how Islamic Law (sharia) is inherently abusive of women was submitted to the United Nations. Attached were the signatures of dozens of men and women worldwide, including victims of sharia, human rights activists, and more.
- [Editor’s Note - See the Executive Summary of the complaint below. It documents sharia-linked violence against women, pegs its source as the Quran and Hadith, and details other aspects of Islamic culture which are demeaning to women (e.g., female genital mutilation). The summary states flat out sharia is incompatible with human rights.]
- “Love Jihad” continues

- Understand that according to the Qur’an as well as examples in the Sira from the life of Muhammad, it is not only lawful for Muslims to take female “prisoners of war” and keep them or sell them, but also to rape them at will (Q 33:50)

- [Editor’s Note - One of the most spectacular Islamic honor killings in the U.K. occurred in 2006. Banaz Mahmod was killed, stuffed in a suitcase, and buried in the back yard by her father, uncle, and three cousins. Banaz is the subject of a chilling short story, ‘Spooked’ (print version and radio theater production available).]

- Mohamedamin A. Ibrahim was “charged with murder for allegedly killing his seven-months-pregnant Swedish girlfriend rather than face the shame of introducing her to his strict Muslim family.”

- This one’s heartbreaking. A Pakistani court rejected a Christian mother’s attempt to recover her daughter after she was abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and forced to marry her 28-year-old Muslim kidnapper.
