Women Under Sharia -
Lack of Pushback Guarantees Islam’s Abuse of Women Will Expand

November 2025
This month’s newsletter brings us the usual litany of Islamic oppression of women in places under sway of sharia (Islamic Law). But increasingly troubling are the incidences of such behavior towards women in places once considered part of Western Civilization - in Europe and even in the U.S. as well. Unless countered, the plight of Women Under Sharia will only expand.
We’ll begin with stories from places like Egypt, Iran, and Kenya where Islam has long had influence and power.
