Invitation to legislate misogyny

The lying Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (also known as a Sharia court) has been sending out letters to lawyers inviting them to legislate misogyny. As I’ve explained countless times, sharia law – or any religious law for that matter – is discriminatory and unfair (at best), and medieval and barbaric (when it’s at its best). Yes, Sharia’s family [...]

There’s a reason more women are in hell!

There is a rational reason for why there are more women in hell and you thought it was all just religious mumbo jumbo:

Strike!

strike

Prime Minister Cameron says today’s public sector strike is ‘irresponsible and damaging’. Chancellor George Osborne says the strike will weaken the economy and cost jobs. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude condemns the strikes as ‘irresponsible, inappropriate and untimely’ and regrets the ‘disruption to the lives of heard working parents and pupils’. Soon we will be [...]

If it’s alright with the Guardian, we won’t welcome Islamism

You have to love the Guardian. They never waiver from defending political Islam every which way they can. They have published yet another article on why we should support Islamism in the Middle East. Wadah Khanfar, the director general of al-Jazeera tells us that Islamism is just Muslims involved in the public sphere. To me [...]

Rest easy – Koran says not to kill apostates

See this video by ‘Let the Quran Speak‘ in response to my assertion that Sharia law demands the death penalty for apostates. It’s not true says the Islamic ‘scholar.’

Hired goons not students

‘Dear BBC, could you please stop referring to these hired goons of the regime as ‘students’. They have never taken an entrance exam nor written any papers; they are nothing short of brainwashed twits who are emblematic of what the Islamic Republic has always been and are only making manifest the rhetoric of their leaders. [...]

Religious trauma in ex-Muslims

CBT Today, the magazine of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies, recently published a feature on the psychological effects (fear of hell and guilt) in ex-Christians. Ed is writing an article on the effects in ex-Muslims. In response, Hassan Radwan writes: ‘Hell is one of the main reasons I left Islam and it [...]

Atheist Saeed Khalid must not be deported to Pakistan

khalidSaeed

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain is supporting ‘apostate’ Khalid Saeed’s demand for asylum in Sweden. We are astonished to hear he has been refused asylum and urge the Swedish authorities to reconsider and grant him protection. Mr Saeed is a long-time member of our organisation. We are an organisation made up of people who [...]

You better not joke with a woman!

According to this banner found on the streets of Iran, Mohammad, Islam’s prophet, warns the following to any of you thinking of joking with a ‘namahram‘ woman.

Celebrate our third anniversary by donating to One Law for All

onesecularlawforall

Dear friend 10 December 2011 will be One Law for All’s third anniversary. We were established in 2008 to oppose Sharia and religious law courts and demand one secular law for all. Several years back, a campaign similar to ours (and one that I was involved with) managed to push back religious courts in Canada’s [...]

Anyone looking for a job?

viashamimparsi

The women’s basij group (the Islamic regime of Iran’s paramilitary militia) has trained 52,000 ‘experts’ to ‘promote chastity and veiling’ in the society. Maybe some of those ‘progressives’ who so love the hejab can join the women’s basij as they are also looking to create an Institute for chastity and veiling and a group of [...]

Now can you understand why it’s important to focus on Islam?

Stoning_Black_BackGr

Isabelle Wilczynska just sent me her artwork called ‘Stoning of unknown girl’ [See featured photo]. Lest we forget, people are still being sentenced to death by stoning in a handful of countries (all – surprise, surprise – under Sharia law).

Only one ex-Muslim allowed!

Have you noticed how atheist conferences only always have one ex-Muslim speaker who focuses on Islam? The next three atheist conferences are good cases in point.

Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and RAWA support it – so should you!

fresecularMENA

More than 2,000 people have signed on to the Manifesto for a Free and Secular Middle East and North Africa including Women Living Under Muslims Laws, Egyptian blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, Writer Salman Rushdie, European Women’s Lobby, and the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA).

Poor Christians – No relief from the ‘gaystapos’

In a Church of England (COE) newspaper, leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance party Alan Craig uses a series of Nazi metaphors describing gay rights activists as the ‘gaystapo’ crushing people ‘under the pink jackboot’.

And you thought only Islam was anti-woman

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups find the female image ‘offensive’ and women’s voices seductive so they ban both. In recent months, women’s faces have disappeared from billboards across the city due to defacement of posters with women on them.

You don’t have a bra on!

hejabcontrol

Here’s an interview with Elham who was recently stopped by the security forces in Iran on her dress code. This time, however, she wasn’t stopped for improper veiling but because she wasn’t wearing a bra!

Azerbaijan’s ‘Salman Rushdie’ murdered

Jahan News has gleefully reported that ‘Azerbaijan’s Salman Rushdie has been murdered’. The Islamic regime of Iran’s mouthpiece says writer Rafiq Tagi was despised by the people of Azerbaijan for his attack on Islam’s prophet Mohammad. Actually, it is for that very reason that he was renowned and beloved… Via Mina Ahadi
