Women Under Sharia -
Islam’s Control Over Women Never Ceases to Amaze
Clare M. Lopez
December 2024



Watch Clare’s interview on the Sutliffian Report    ===>
  • Clare discusses, among other things, the bill in Iraq to reduce the age of consent to marriage to 9-years-old for girls.

“Iran to open hijab clinic, framing defiance as mental health issue” at Iran International, November 13, 2024
  • We’re seeing echoes of the Soviet Union and other tyrannies, now in the Islamic Republic of Iran. With total regime power over the people, where dissent is outlawed, disagreement with regime policies can be and is treated as crime, and now, mental illness. This is what sharia is.
  • “Iran student strips in protest over strict hijab dress code” by Akhtar Makoii at The Telegraph, October 3, 2024
  • “Libya introduces morality police to crack down on women’s dress and ‘strange’ haircuts” by Lilia Sebouai at The Telegraph, November 11, 2024 
  • And, speaking of hijabs, here’s a story about a non-Muslim American woman asking her Muslim neighbor how to wear one “properly” at a mosque when attending a funeral -
    “Watch what happens when a woman asks her neighbor how to wear a headscarf at a mosque” by Terry Baddoo at USA Today, October 31, 2024
    • Editor’s Note - The non-Muslim woman is naïve, not aware of what forced head-covering means in Islam (second-class citizenship). 
 
“India: Hindu university student forced to convert to Islam, wear hijab to avoid being raped” by Christine Douglass-Williams at Jihad Watch, October 28, 2024
 
“Egypt’s disappearing women” by Mariam Wahba at Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), November 14, 2024
  • Coptic Christian women in Egypt are all too often kidnapped, forced to convert to Islam, and coerced into marriage. So-called “feminists” in the West all too often remain silent.
 
“‘I will convert your sister into a Muslim’: Faizan threatens and abducts a married Dalit woman at knifepoint, attempts to convert her to Islam” by OpIndia Staff, 9 November 2024
  • Love jihad again
 
“Schoolgirl, 14, 'dragged behind a bush and raped while waiting for the bus' after man, 40, approached her asking for directions” by Miriam Kuepper at The Daily Mail, October 27, 2024
  • The accused is a 40-year-old Pakistani man. This crime took place in the northern Italian city of Bolzano.
 
“Asylum seeker, 28, 'rapes 10-year-old girl and gets her pregnant' in controversial migrant centre in Italy” by Miriam Kuepper at The Daily Mail, 13 October 2024
 
“’Tortured and Raped Multiple Times': The Persecution of Christians, September 2024” by Raymond Ibrahim at Gatestone Institute, October 27, 2024
  • This is a monthly compilation.
 
“Lacey parents charged in possible attempted honor killing of daughter” by Jennifer Dowling at Fox 13 Seattle, November 8, 2024
  • Only the brave intervention by the girl’s boyfriend prevented the murder. The parents had planned to forcefully send their daughter to Iraq to marry an older man and threatened to kill her if she did not go along.
 
“Child Marriage in Islam: An Overview” by Abdullah Bashar at Jihad Watch, November 10, 2024
  • This is an excellent summary of key Muslim scholars’ positions on child marriage in Islam.
 
“Ten Baha'i women in Iran sentenced to a total of 90 years in prison” at Iran International, October 22, 2024
  • Under the Iranian regime’s strict enforcement of Islamic Law, the Baha’i minority, and especially its women, are mercilessly persecuted (this is perhaps why the international headquarters of the Baha’i faith is located in Haifa, Israel).
 
“Taliban prohibits Afghan women from speaking to each other: ‘System of gender apartheid’” at the NY Post, October 30, 2024
  • Under Islamic doctrine, a woman’s voice is considered “awrah” - literally, a woman’s private parts that are not to be seen in public. Here, that is extended to her very voice. The Taliban seek to literally erase women from public life.
Women Under Sharia -
Islam: Perennially Primitive In Its Treatment of Women
Clare M. Lopez
October 2024

“Woman falls prey to ‘honour’ killing in Swat” [Pakistan] at The Nation, October 14, 2024
  • “This tragic incident spotlights Swat’s disturbing trend of honor killings, with 263 documented cases over the past twelve years.”
 
Swedish “Court of Appeal rules: Life sentence for murder of "too white" pregnant woman” at FriaTider, October 14, 2024
  • “The Court of Appeal today confirmed the sentence for Mohamedamin Ibrahim, 22, to life imprisonment for the murder of his girlfriend Saga in Örebro. The murder took place when his mother ’did not accept that he was with a white girl.’" [Google Translate]
 
“Divorced Afghan child brides forced to return to former husbands under Taliban rule” at Jerusalem Post, September 29, 2024
  • Child marriage is entirely legal under Islamic Law (sharia) because Muhammad is believed to have married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage (raped her) when she was nine and he was a man of over fifty.
 
“Taliban leader calls women’s faces a ‘source of temptation’” [Answer: A resounding YES!] by Qaseem Azizi at amu.tv, September 25, 2024
  • Self-control and personal responsibility for one’s actions are unknown concepts for Muslim men living under Islamic Law (sharia).
 
“Did Muhammad Teach that Women are Stupid and Inferior to Men?” by Sam Shamoun at Answering Islam
  • Excellent resource site…here citing references directly from the Qur’an, Sam Shamoun demonstrates the primitive mentality that prevails in too many societies dominated by sharia.
 
“Disturbing Footage Emerges Of 'Taliban' Stoning In Afghanistan” by Abdul Qadir Ghafoori and
Frud Bezhan, November 2, 2015
  • Video footage about a stoning by Taliban forces in Afghanistan – the reason the US lost the war in Afghanistan and fled the battlefield in utter chaos in August 2021 is precisely because our civilian and military leaders refused to do their homework on why the Taliban engage in such horrific abuse. That reason is Islam and the Taliban’s devout, faithful, obedience to Islamic Law (sharia). Their mentality sees obedience to sharia as a commandment of the faith that earns them eternity in paradise. We see it as primitive barbarity.
 
“The Azadi Briefing: Taliban Threatens Former Afghan Policewomen” by Abubakar Siddique at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, October 11, 2024
  • The Taliban in Afghanistan are threatening Afghan women who served previously in the police force under the Western-backed government (before the USG fled ignominiously in August 2021). Some go into hiding, some are killed by their own relatives for bringing “shame” to the family.
 
“Double Betrayal: Abuses against Afghan Policewomen, Past and Present” from Human Rights Watch, October 10, 2024
  • This is the HRW report that documented the threats, abuse, and murder perpetrated by the Taliban but also Afghan women’s own relatives not only for having been employed by the previous government, but also simply for engaging in professional work in the law enforcement area at all. 
  • Unfortunately, what is missing from both the RFE/RL and HRW reports is the centuries-old basis of such heinous abuse against women as being firmly grounded not only in “cultural practices” but in Islamic Law (sharia) itself.
 
“Afghan Man Cuts Off Wife's Nose, Lips” by Frud Bezhan at RFE/RL, December 17, 2013
  • Another story from some years ago, but indicative of attitudes and behavior still deeply ingrained among Muslim men and society in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Unfortunately, under sharia, women are considered literally the property of men from birth to death, as children, child brides, and wives. In societies such as those ruled once again by the Taliban in Afghanistan, where such primitive behavior and mindsets are not only accepted but encoded into law, women and girls have no rights. 
  • Editor’s Note - It doesn’t matter if the story is from now or a thousand years ago.  This all stems from core Islamic doctrine, i.e., the Quran which is the transcribed direct word of Allah and cannot be changed.  This is why you see such consistent atrocities over centuries from adherents of Islam who are doomed to remain perennially primitive in their treatment of women.
 
“The Revenge of Israel’s Women on Hezbollah” by Daniel Greenfield at Front Page, October 9, 2024
  • To end this month’s newsletter on a positive note, here Daniel Greenfield recounts the front-line role of Israeli women in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in intelligence and observer positions helping to dismantle HAMAS and Hizballah, as well as the too-oft-unheralded strength of Israeli women who hold things together in society and at home as husbands, sons, and brothers head off to combat assignments.
  • Editor’s Note - This is an amazing story: ”Some were shocked to learn that Israel’s successful ‘Pagergeddon’ operation had been the work of a female intelligence operative under thirty.”
Women Under Sharia -
Child-Raping, Beheading, Forcibly Converting, and Beating Women Because, You Know, Islam
Clare M. Lopez
September 2024  

“Uttarakhand: Maulvi Shabbir Raza arrested for raping and sexually exploiting 5 minor girls inside illegal Madarsa [sic, “Madrasa”] in Rudrapur, police say there can be more victims” by OpIndia Staff, 24 August 2024
  • These little girls were aged 5-9 years old.
 
“India: Muslim cleric arrested for raping and sexually exploiting five girls aged five to nine inside illegal madrasa” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, September 11, 2024
  • Robert Spencer’s explanation for why such abominable behavior is all-too culturally common in Muslim societies even if not strictly legal per sharia.
 
“Iran escalates crackdown ahead of ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ anniversary” at Iran International, September 6, 2024
 
“Honour killing in Uttar Pradesh: Naeem beheads 17-year-old daughter for having an affair, dismembers her body in multiple pieces; arrested” by OpIndia Staff, 3 September 2024
  • We’ll recall that according to Islamic Law (sharia), there is no penalty for a parent or grandparent killing their offspring.
 
“Germany: Muslim migrant kills his ex-girlfriend to ‘restore his honor’ while screaming ‘I have the right to do this’” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, August 30, 2024
 
“Diyarbakır cafes faced with Islamist attacks over alcohol sale, women's clothing” at bianet.org, August 27, 2024
  • Of course, there’s no such thing as “Islamist attacks”, here taking place in Turkey. These are strictly observant Muslims, taking enforcement into their own hands of Islamic dress codes for women and the Islamic ban on alcohol.
 
“12-year-old Christian girl forcibly converted by Muslim man who kidnapped her in Pakistan” by Christian Daily International Morning Star News, August 28, 2024
  • More “Love Jihad”…the girl’s family is Catholic.
 
“Taliban Dismisses Criticism of New Islamic Law Targeting Women, Citing Quran, Hadith as Justification” by Pamela Geller, 23 August 2024
  • New Taliban regime laws forbid women’s faces and voices to be seen/heard in public. And with millions of U.S. dollars pouring in from the Biden/Harris administration, why should the Taliban care what infidel Westerners think?
 
“Kamala’s Legacy: Three Years After the Botched Biden-Harris Afghanistan Withdrawal, Taliban Announces New ‘Vice and Virtue’ Laws Banning Women’s Voices and Bare Faces in Public” by Margaret Flavin at Gateway Pundit, August 25, 2024

“Another Coptic Christian Girl ‘Disappears’ in Egypt” by Raymond Ibrahim at Coptic Solidarity, August 27, 2024
  • The family is desperate, but this is an all-too-often occurrence in Egypt, where the authorities do nothing to find the perpetrators or stop the practice.
 
“Video from Turkey: Muslim beats his wife in public” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, August 26, 2024
  • Yes, sadly, this is perfectly legal under Islamic Law (see Q 4:34)
 
“Iranian police seize journalist's motorcycle, citing 'female rider' offense” by Mina Akbari at Iran International, 08/22/2024
  • So, apparently in Iran under strict Islamic rule, females may not ride alone on a motorcycle; who knows what she might do unchaperoned by a man?
 
“The Taliban Killed a Female Youtuber, then Invented a Story to Cover Up the Murder” by Zan Times at Women’s eNews, August 8, 2024
  • “Moral corruption”, you know
 
“Has Islam Really Improved the Lot of Women?” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, July 31, 2024
  • Just to sum it all up, Hugh Fitzgerald explains the history of Islamic misogyny but doesn’t hold out much hope for change any time soon.  
Women Under Sharia -
Shot and Paralyzed Over Hijab Rules - Islam Strikes Again
Clare M. Lopez
August 2024  

A heartbreaking litany of horrific abuse perpetrated against women in sharia-dominated societies, from India, Iran, and Iraq, to Pakistan, and the United States as well. Iran unfortunately dominates our collection this month.
 
“Iranian women’s rights activists face rape threats during arrest: UN Special Rapporteur” at Iran International, 07/15/2024
 
“Iran Arrests Three More Women's Rights Activists in Gilan” at Iran Wire, July 17, 2024
 
This one is horrifying and heartbreaking all at once and calls for more than one report here. A young Iranian mother of two has been left a paraplegic after Iranian police shot her inside her car because of a hijab rule violation. What kind of monsters would do such a thing? Answer: Iranian police in a regime under rule of Islamic Law.
  • “Iranian woman paralysed after being shot over hijab” by Parham Ghobadi at BBC Persian, August 12, 2024

“Iraqis protest proposed 'anti-women' amendment to personal status law” by Shelley Kittleson, Al-Monitor, August 4, 2024
  • This proposed amendment to Iraq’s personal status law would permit Sunni and Shi’ite clerics to sign marriage contracts outside the official court system. Such an amendment, if passed, would open the door to underage and forced marriages, which are completely legal under sharia. To their credit, Iraqis are protesting the amendment, which has not yet passed.

Iranian President Dead, but Islam’s Abuse of Women Very Much Alive
Clare M. Lopez

“A year ago, she drank battery acid to escape life under the Taliban. Today, she has a message for other Afghan girls” by Hilary Whiteman, Anna Coren, Abdul Basir Bina and Javed Iqbal, at CNN, June 30, 2024

“The Sexual Assaults on October 7 Omitted From the White House Fact Sheet” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, July 10, 2024
  • The Biden White House issued a lengthy Fact Sheet that documented sexual assaults in ‘conflict zones’…but somehow neglected to include what HAMAS did on 7 October 2023
 
“Arifwala man kills divorced niece in the name of ‘honour’” at English.aaj.tv/news, July 8, 2024
  • He murdered her with an axe but motive beyond fact she was divorced is not spelled out, except that it was a so-called “honor killing” – which is generally condoned in Islamic sharia societies
 
“NOTHING COMPENSATES FOR THE STOLEN YEARS’: THE AFGHAN WOMEN REBUILDING SHATTERED DREAMS IN IRAN” by Stefanie Glinski at The Guardian, July 4, 2024

“GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists” at The Publica, June 23, 2024
  • Almost impossible to believe that such injustice could happen in 2024 in Germany! (Or is Germany now becoming a society ruled by sharia, too?!)
Women Under Sharia -
Rape, Murder, & Mayhem - Just Another Day in the Life of Muslim Women and Girls
Clare M. Lopez
June 2024  

Once again this month, our newsletter includes horrific examples of the worst abuse meted out to women and girls forced to live under rule of Islamic Law (sharia). Again, too, the prime examples of such places are Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Pakistan, although as to be expected, such abuses are spreading across European countries now, too, where numbers of immigrants from these places are now preying on their host communities.
 
[Editor’s Note - Don’t forget: the number of Muslims is increasing in the U.S. and standard Islamic doctrine that prescribes horrendous abuse of women and girls is the same everywhere.]
 
“Germany: Afghan parents suspected of murdering their 15-year-old daughter” from fredalandmedforth, June 18, 2024
  • [Editor’s Note - Undoubtedly another Islamic honor killing of a daughter for adopting ‘Western ways’.]

  • Here, the discrimination takes the form of drastic salary cuts for Afghan female nurses, teachers and others in government-funded jobs. Afghan men in the same job categories continue to receive higher salaries. Many Afghan families are facing literal starvation, according to the United Nations.
 
“Abducted Young Mother in Pakistan Refuses Forced Conversion” at the Christian Daily International-Morning News, June 13, 2024

“A rape in Paris” by Ben Cohen at the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), June 21, 2024
  • This is an awful story about a young Jewish girl in France who was abducted, beaten, raped, and subjected to vile anti-Semitic verbal abuse. What is especially alarming about this crime is that her abusers were three young boys, barely 12-13 years old. Tellingly, media reports do not mention the boys’ background, either immigrant status or religion. 
  • “Hundreds rally in France to protest anti-Semitic gang-rape of 12-year-old” by Michael Starr at the Jerusalem Post, June 22, 2024
    • Perhaps a signal here that at least some in France are awakening to what they have allowed to infiltrate into their midst.
 
“BBC Documentary ‘Nika’s Last Breath’ about 16-year old Nika Shakarami’s last moments before being raped and murdered in Iran”, by Amil Imani at Rich Swier, May 1, 2024

Women Under Sharia -
Iran’s Mullahs Quake at the Sight of Strong Independent Women
Clare M. Lopez
May 2024  

  • This month’s issue is dedicated to the women of Iran who suffer brutal abuse from their own government.
 
Our focus this month, appropriately enough as it turns out, is the Islamic Republic of Iran. As the following news items will attest, the jihadist regime of the mullahs is above all a misogynist regime. Fear of individually free, strong, independent women runs like a collective shiver through the clerical, judicial, Pasdaran, and police ranks of Iran. This is why the mass regime hysteria over Iranian women and girls who might show a bit of their hair – their hair! – sends them into a frenzy of assault, rape, and torture. This Iranian regime, even having lost its President and Foreign Minister in a helicopter accident this month, is incapable of normal, sane behavior towards its own people, most especially its women – and there is no chance for any change towards the better until this regime is replaced with a government of, by, and for the Iranian people.

Women Under Sharia -
Sharia Is Incompatible with Human Rights, Complaint at U.N. Alleges
Clare M. Lopez
April 2024  

“UN Called to Respond to Sharia Violence against Women” by Raymond Ibrahim at Gatestone Institute, March 25, 2024
  • 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.]

 “Impregnating Infidels: Another Form of Jihad”, posted by Raymond Ibrahim at the Virginia Christian Alliance, March 27, 2024
  • “Love Jihad” continues
 
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. 
 
“Don’t Betray the Women of Afghanistan” by Lisa Curtis and Hadeia Amiry at Foreign Affairs Magazine, March 28, 2024

“Attackers laughed as they raped and murdered a woman in Israel on October 7, witness says” by Jake Tapper, Kirsten Appleton and Rachel Clarke, at CNN, April 10, 2024
 
“Freed hostage says Palestinian civilians abducted and sold her to Hamas” at World Israel News, April 9, 2024
  • 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)

“UK honor-based crimes up 62% in 2 years” by David Isaac at the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), April 9, 2024
  • [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).]

Women Under Sharia -
Sharia Law Dehumanizes Women
Clare M. Lopez
March 2024  
 
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.
 
“New Report Details ‘Sadistic Sex Crimes’ Perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, Forced Families to Witness Rapes” by Margaret Flavin at Gateway Pundit, February 21, 2024
 
“A UN envoy says there are ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe Hamas committed sexual violence on Oct. 7” by Edith M. Lederer at AP News, March 4, 2024
 
“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.
 
“ISIS caliph al-Baghdadi’s wife says he had sex slaves, child bride” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, February 24, 2024
  • As Robert Spencer writes here, because according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad took a child bride and consummated the marriage when she was only 9 years old, this sort of behavior has been accepted across the centuries in sharia societies to this day. The question from the civilized world has to be, “even if the faith allows it, why would anyone want to behave this way?”
 
“Protesters: Afghanistan now most dangerous for women” by Fidel Rahmati at The Khaama Press News Agency, March 8, 2024
  • Aside from the chaotic U.S. retreat out of Kabul in August 2021, perhaps this might have something to do with the 2004 Afghan constitution—written under the supervision of the U.S. Department of State’s Noah Feldman (himself a Harvard Law School protégé of then Dean, now current U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan). The first three Articles of that constitution clearly place Afghanistan under rule of Islamic Law (sharia).
 
“Incorporating Sharia Law into European Legal Systems vs A State in India Bans Sharia” by Uzay Bulut at Gatestone Institute, March 4, 2024
  • How is it that the State of Uttarakhand in India has approved legislation that bans discrimination against women based on Islamic Law (sharia) while, across many parts of post-Christian and ostensibly secular Western Europe, sharia councils (or Islamic legal courts) increasingly are permitted to operate?

Marry a Child, Beat My Wife, Rape at Will - Allahu Akbar!

February 2024

“Muslim 13-year-old girl forced to marry 29-year-old, ‘A girl can’t say no. It’s against our culture.’” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, February 20, 2024
  •  The heart breaks watching this little 13-year-old girl, who ought to be looking forward to high school, instead wiping away tears as she tells us about her forced marriage to a 29-year-old man.
 
“France: A Syrian man who has been living in France since 2019 is being tried for terrorising his family by, among other things, beating his wife if tea is not served quickly. He admits to the judge over his interpreter: “In Syria, you can beat … you can do anything” at Medforth, February 8, 2024
  • This one’s about a Syrian Muslim on trial in France for multiple charges of domestic abuse. First, he lies; but then he seems genuinely surprised that in civilized society, it’s actually against the law to beat your wife & children. Marriage for love & love of one’s children is obviously a concept entirely missing from this man’s Islamic life experience before coming to France.
 
“Family who left arranged marriage bride in vegetative state by 'dousing her with chemicals' and 'force-feeding her pills' are jailed” by Dan Grennan at the Daily Mail, February 14, 2024
  • This poor woman, forcibly married in Pakistan, brought to the UK by her family, was horrifically abused. Her husband, father-and-mother-in-law, brother-and-sister-in-law all participated in the abuse, were found guilty & sentenced to prison … but it was too late for the unfortunate wife, who’s been left in a vegetative state. All perfectly legal under sharia.
 
“Women in Northeast Iran Province Barred From Exercising in Parks” at iranwire.com, February 6, 2024
  • This was the ruling of a provincial Director General for Sports in Iran, who decreed women could only exercise in certain designated areas only. All supposedly to “protect” them from the predations of Muslim men, who will never be held responsible for their own behavior.
 
“IntelBrief: The Taliban Continues its Crackdown on Women in Afghanistan” at The Soufan Center IntelBrief, January 25, 2024
  •  More in a dreary parade of restrictions imposed on women & girls in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Of note: there is actually an ongoing international debate about whether to normalize relations with the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
 
“Taha Razi rapes, assaults a Hindu girl, justifies violence by quoting Quranic verses” at OpIndia.com, 30 January 2024
  •  Another in our ongoing series about so-called “Love Jihad”. In this case, a Hindu girl in India was deceived by a Muslim man pretending to be Hindu, then assaulted, raped & tortured before being forcefully converted to Islam. Naturally, the accused cited Qur’anic verses that supposedly justify his behavior. Police investigations reportedly underway.
 
“India: Muslim Women Taking Over the Love Jihad Industry” by Ashlyn Davis at Front Page Magazine, February 2, 2024
  •  Here’s a twist on the “Love Jihad” chronicles. In India, reportedly Muslim girls have joined in the practice, luring a Hindu man into a relationship, then trying to force him to convert to Islam and attacking him if he refuses.
 
“India: Hindu Women Held Captive by Muslim Family, Gang-Raped; Sons Forcibly Converted to Islam” by Ashlyn Davis at Front Page Magazine, January 24, 2024
  • Another story from India of a Hindu woman – this time along with her two sons – taken captive by a Muslim family, gang-raped, forcibly converted to Islam, forced to eat beef and threatened with death. This piece at Front Page also includes other accounts of Hindu women preyed upon by Muslims in India.
 
“WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN IRAN” by Struan Stevenson (a former MEP for Scotland & longtime champion of the Iranian people who struggle to be free of their abusive regime) at StruanStevenson.com & also republished at Front Page Magazine, January 23, 2024
  •  As Struan Stevenson writes, the way the Islamic Republic of Iran treats women “is an appalling testament to their deeply entrenched misogyny and disregard for human dignity”.

Why Does Islam Abuse Women? - It’s the Doctrine, Stupid!
Clare M. Lopez
January 2024

Details about the sexual atrocities that HAMAS jihadis perpetrated and self-filmed with glee keep emerging, each more horrific than the last. Even the New York Times is now reporting results of its two-month investigation, including the unspeakable acts of rape, mutilation, torture, and murder committed by these savages. What they too often omit, however, is that it’s all sanctioned as legitimate under Islamic Law (sharia).

“Does Islamic Law Sanction Hamas’ Rape of Captives?” by Robert Spencer at PJ Media, January 19, 2024
  • Here, Robert cites the UK’s Guardian, which not only reported about the mass rape of Israeli captives by HAMAS in the October 7 Shabbat Massacre and after, but noted that captured HAMAS jihadis told Israeli interrogators they were actually instructed to commit such sexual abuse and additionally referred to Qur’anic justification for it (Q 4:3). Read both pieces—they are both revealing and instructive.
 
The horrors for women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan never end.
 
”UN Mission Says Taliban Putting Afghan Women In Prison For Protection From Violence” by RFE/RFL, December 14, 2024
  • Violence by whom? Under sharia, it doesn’t matter: it’s the woman’s fault. Taliban is claiming it’s putting Afghan women in prison for their own protection—after having closed all the state protection centers for women, saying those are “a Western concept”.
 
“Christian Women Forced to Wear Islamic Dress in Afghanistan” at Persecution.org, January 8, 2024
The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is cracking down on all women – Muslim, Christian, or any other faith – who appear in public without being completely covered up either in a ‘proper’ hijab or full mobile tent burqa.
 
Islamic rule in Iran continues to brutalize women and girls, too. Dr. Rich Swier calls out feminist and other leftist groups whose silence in the face of such abuse is despicable.
 
“Iran’s Islamic Regime WHIPS Young Woman 74 Times For Not Covering Her Beautiful Hair in Public” at Dr. Rich Swier, citing the Jerusalem Post, “Kurdish-Iranian woman whipped 74 times for not wearing hijab” by Tzvi Joffre, January 7, 2024
  • “Woman in Iran gets 74 lashes for ‘public morals’ violation” at AlArabiya News, 7 January 2024
    Interesting to note that Al Arabiya is a Saudi-owned media outlet based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This piece cites an Iranian source who says the whipping penalty was carried out “in accordance…with shariah”.
 
Abuse of women and girls by Muslim immigrants to Western societies continues to increase while elsewhere in the Dar al-Harb it is ongoing as well. 
 
“Honor killing narrowly avoided: a father too dangerous to be released” by Michael Nguyen at TVA Nouvelles, January 11, 2024
  • She did not want to be forcibly married to a cousin in Turkey. As Robert Spencer points out in covering this story at Jihad Watch, Islamic Law (sharia) specifies there are no legal consequences for a parent or grandparent who murders their offspring.
 
“Gang-raped for interfaith affair, Karnataka woman tells court”, by Basavaraj Maralihalli at Times of India, January 12, 2024
  • Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch points out that the Qur’an forbids Muslim women from marrying ‘idolaters’, i.e., non-Muslims.

So-Called ‘Women’s Groups’ Abandon Women to Islam - Silence is Complicity
Clare M. Lopez
December 2023 

This month’s litany of abuses against women living under Islamic Law (sharia) may seem monotonously repetitive – and indeed, unfortunately, it is. The Iranian regime continues its unconscionable assault against women’s rights, indeed, in the larger scope, against basic human rights. Honor killing of women and girls by Muslim men and even other Muslim family members, remains also a horrific constant in places where obedient devotion to Islamic mores remains the rule. Feminist groups worldwide remain notably silent not just on the sexual atrocities HAMAS committed against women and girls during the October 7, 2023 Shabbat Massacre, but on the routine mistreatment of women and girls across the Islamic world. But at least some are beginning to call them out.

Muslim Subjugation of Women Is the Same the World Over
Clare M. Lopez
November 2023 

This month, we include follow-up on the unspeakable atrocities HAMAS jihadis inflicted on Jewish women and girls on 7 October 2023 during the Shabbat Massacre. Including also a few other reports from elsewhere in the world, including Western Europe and right here in the USA.
 
First, a 5 November 2023 Twitter/X posting from a woman identified as a "Female Islamic Scholar" on the permissibility of taking sex slaves from among non-Muslims and raping them. In this way, they attempt to justify rape during the Shabbat Massacre.

Hamas Sexual Abuse of Israeli Women Follows Islamic Doctrine as Night Follows Day
Clare M. Lopez
October 2023 

In recognition of the horrific HAMAS jihad massacre of Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023, this set of links will be dedicated to highlighting the barbaric way that these savages abused women. This is not to detract from the equally barbaric treatment of the elderly, men, children, and even babies, but to note how women and girls in particular were assaulted in a sexual way. Unfortunately, as Robert Spencer has pointed out in recent interviews, this is entirely in keeping with Quranic references that legitimize polygamy, sex slavery, and the taking of sex slaves as spoils of jihad.
 
Among those references are the following.
  • “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].”  (Q 4:3) 
  • “Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women—except ˹female˺ captives in your possession…” (Q 4:24) 
  • “Certainly will the believers have succeeded…And they who guard their private parts - Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed.” (Q 23-1-6) 
  • “O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their ˹full˺ dowries as well as those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession, whom Allah has granted you… We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Q 33:50)

Now here are the links to statements & reports of HAMAS jihadi behavior in keeping with these Quranic Surah.

Western Women, Wake Up!  Islam Is Not Your Friend
 
“Egypt: Muslim stabs his sister in the neck, killing her, because she got engaged without his consent” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, September 14, 2023
  • In observant Islamic communities, women are not independent actors but subservient their entire lives to a male: father, brother, son…who are raised to believe they have the right to complete control over the lives of women in their family. Even state-level criminal codes in many Islamic countries treat so-called “honor” crimes very leniently.
 
“Anti-Islamic State (ISIS) Outlet Publishes ISIS Internal Document Discussing Measures Taken To Deal With 'Female Slaves' Who Suffer From AIDS In Group's Mozambique Province – Pro-ISIS Outlet Asserts Authenticity Of Document”, Middle East Media Research Institute, August 17, 2023
  • This is definitely an odd one. An online channel affiliated with Al-Qa’eda but opposed to the Islamic State (IS) got access to an IS document dated January 9, 2022. The document describes how female slaves who’d been given to IS fighters in should be treated if found to have contracted AIDS. Enslavement of these women and their forced marriages to IS fighters is considered normal and taken for granted. If testing shows they have AIDS, however, the marriages are dissolved, and the women are then married off to an IS fighter who likewise has AIDS. They can also be offered for ransom or killed if they refuse to become Muslims.
 
“UK: Previously deported Muslim migrant rapist brutally beats, rapes 66-year-old London woman” by Christine Douglass-Williams at Jihad Watch, September 12, 2023.
  • Over the last decades, Western European countries have opened their borders to untold thousands of unvetted migrants, many from Islamic societies whose moral codes are at complete odds with rule of law in Europe. Muslim men now prey regularly upon women of all ages across the continent. Under Islamic Law (sharia), sexual assault against infidel women is completely permissible.
 
“UK: Muslim father urged to flee country to avoid being ‘mistreated for being Muslim’ after killing his daughter” by Christine Douglass-Williams at Jihad Watch, September 12, 2023
  • After murdering his 10-year-old daughter, this Pakistani father was advised to flee Britain, lest he “would be mistreated for being Muslim”. No, he would not be “mistreated for being Muslim”, but he might face the legal consequences for murder in a civilized country. Of course, under Islamic Law (sharia), a father faces absolutely no consequences for killing his own child.
 
“IntelBrief: Two Years After the Taliban Takeover, a Surge of Suicides Among Afghan Women” at The Soufan Center, September 7, 2023
  • Is it any wonder that the women of Afghanistan, once again under brutal Taliban rule, are suffering a massive mental health crisis? We’ll recall that it was Noah Feldman (protégé of then-Dean of Harvard Law School, now U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan) who was tasked by the U.S. State Department to draft the Afghan constitution that went into effect in 2004. It’s only necessary to read the first three Articles to see that our own U.S. government drafted a document that placed Afghanistan and all its people under Islamic Law. For whatever reason, however, this constitution was abolished by the Taliban regime that took over Afghanistan in 2021 after the U.S. flight from the country. With or without that constitution, the women of Afghanistan are treated as chattel with their human rights completely abused and denied, as per strict enforcement of Islamic Law.

“Afghan girls enrol [sic] in madrassas in effort to keep studying after secondary school ban” by Modaser Islami at The National News, September 2, 2023
  • Under Taliban rule once again, girls in Afghanistan are banned from attending secondary school. In an effort to somehow stay in school, they are enrolling in madrassas. These religious schools that only teach Qur’an, however, cannot compensate for the loss of a proper academic curriculum. This is, of course, the intent under Islamic rule: girls are often married off even before their teen years and purposely denied any education beyond the elementary level.
 
“Targeted for Conversion: How Organized Muslim Networks Prey on Christian Women in Egypt” by Raymond Ibrahim at Coptic Solidarity, 09/05/2023
  • The rate of Coptic women and girls in Egypt disappearing off the streets and then later re-appearing in videos claiming they have “willingly embraced Islam” reportedly has grown dramatically over recent weeks of mid-2023. Preying on infidel women is, of course, entirely licit under Islamic Law (sharia) and the Islamic rulers of Egypt do little or nothing to protect their Coptic communities.
 
“Afghan asylum seeker is jailed for twice raping 'vulnerable' 12-year-old Albanian refugee girl in taxpayer-funded hotel” by Miriam Kuepper and Tony Palmer at the Daily Mail, August 24, 2023
  • In the Islamic environment of rural Afghanistan, the rape of infidel women and girls is considered normal and perfectly legal because it is sanctioned by the Qur’an. Upon arrival in a civilized Western European country like Britain, such asylum seekers have no comprehension that such primitive behavior is illegal.
 
“UP: Hindu girl converts to Islam to marry Muslim man, asked to become wife of father-in-law too, tortured and thrown out for refusing” at OpIndia Staff, 31 August 2023
  • This Hindu girl converted to Islam to marry her Muslim husband in Pakistan. But then the family demanded she become the wife of the father-in-law too. When she refused, the family ganged up on her, beat her brutally, and threw her out of the house. Understanding that the norms of Islamic society are not remotely the same as those of Hindu or Western societies is critical to avoid this kind of abuse, whether in mixed societies like Pakistan or in European countries now overwhelmed with Muslim migrants.
The Claimed Muslim ‘Right to Rape’  
Clare M. Lopez
August 2023 

The 1-year anniversary of the September 16, 2022 arrest and murder of Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini by Iran’s so-called ‘morality police’ is coming up. Her killing, supposedly for allowing her hijab to slip from completely covering her hair (while inside her family’s personal vehicle), set off months of street protests against the Iranian regime. These protests focus especially on the complete lack of women’s rights under the Islamic Republic of Iran’s draconian sharia regime. Despite a brutal crackdown by the regime against the protesters, those demonstrations continue today, often under the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom”.

Raymond Ibrahim, an American of Coptic heritage, is an expert on Islam and a prolific writer about the history of Islamic conquests, expansion, and ongoing current-day threats. Here he writes about Muslim claims to a ‘right’ to rape and enslave non-Muslim girls and women that draw on doctrinal Islamic sources, including the Qur’an and hadiths. The Taliban are noted for savage treatment of Afghan women, but increasingly, such assaults are also taking place in Western European countries like France.

This attack occurred in Toulouse, France. Left unspoken in this article is what ‘Maghreb youth mob’ is code for: Muslim immigrants from North Africa.
 
And finally, remember that for Islam, it’s about the bloodline. All children born of a Muslim father are held to be Muslim under Islamic Law, but those born to a Muslim mother, but with a father of a different faith, are not. This is why this kind of Muslim violence is so commonplace in the case of mixed faith relationships:

Muslim Migrants Carry Their Contempt for Women to New Lands
Clare M. Lopez
July 2023 

This month’s collection of “Women Under Sharia” accounts comes to us not only from Islamic Republics, like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, but notably—and increasingly—also European countries like Austria and Belgium. What this tells us is that the doctrine, ideology, and social mores of shariah are being carried with migrants who leave traditionally Muslim countries and move into traditionally Christian countries of Western Europe. Plus - more on Love Jihad, oppression of women in Islamic Republics.

Islamic Doctrine Allows Base Behavior - Both Muslim & Non-Muslim Women Are the Victims
Clare M. Lopez
June 2023

Continuing with our exposure of the horrendous treatment meted out to women both Muslim and non-Muslim by Muslim men, we see again with this list how entitled these attackers feel to act out the basest of human impulses, how utterly lacking in remorse they are, and how often they fully expect to and do get away with their crimes—or are punished with only minor penalties. In sharia societies, this attitude clashes violently with what many of us in the West think of as a shared humanity, a shared sense of what is right and wrong, and appreciation for the nobility of chivalrous behavior by men towards women.
 
Instead, the upbringing for young males in some Islamic communities strips them of all feelings of respect or caring for and defending women in general. We realize that raising boys and girls to value and respect others, no matter their background, is behavior grounded in Judeo-Christian morality and principles. Not that those of other faiths may not share such morality and principles – they do – but here in the West, such an ethos more often than not is biblically based.

“The 'Right' to Rape and Enslave Non-Muslim Women” by Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute, June 14, 2023
  • Last month, in France, a Muslim man told an underage girl with whom he had been chatting on Facebook, "I will burn you all. I will cut your throats. I will rape you and your mother because I have the right to do so."
  • (Editor’s Note: This is no accident.  It is standard Islamic doctrine.] 
    Such men routinely cite the same hadiths and verses from the Koran. Verses 4:3 and 4:24, for instance, permit Muslim men to have sexual relations with as many women as "their right hand possesses" — meaning as many women — all non-Muslim, of course — as they are able to take captive during a jihad
