Islamic jurist: “Loathsomeness” of churches and synagogues “greater than that of cemeteries or dunghills”

MAY 31, 2018 5:55 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER58 COMMENTS

Ramadan Day 15 thought for the day from my new book The History of Jihad:

The influential Islamic jurist Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, who died in 1350 in the Abbasid capital of Damascus, explained the Islamic view of synagogues and churches:

Those who are of the opinion that to pray in a church or synagogue is loathsome also say that they are places of great infidelity and polytheism. Indeed, their loathsomeness is greater than that of bathhouses, cemeteries or dunghills since they are places of Divine Wrath…. Moreover, are they not the houses of the enemies of Allah, and Allah is not to be adored in the houses of his enemies…?

UK: Muslim called on other Muslims to murder four-year-old Prince George and poison supermarket ice cream

MAY 31, 2018 5:36 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER50 COMMENTS

He “gave the full address of the young prince’s school in southwest London, which the boy began attending last September, and wrote: ‘even the royal family will not be left alone.’ During that time, Rashid also encouraged attacks on a number of other targets including soccer stadiums, British Army bases, shopping centers and Jewish communities, and suggested injecting poison into supermarket ice creams.”

Theresa May and her government insist that the “far-right extremist” threat is equivalent to the jihad threat. Where are “far-right extremists” plotting attacks of this kind? Nowhere, of course. The May government is based on fiction and propaganda.

“ISIS supporter who encouraged attack on Prince George admits guilt,” by Vasco Cotovio and Judith Vonberg, CNN, May 31, 2018:

London, UK (CNN)A British ISIS supporter, who called for jihadis to attack 4-year-old Prince George, pleaded guilty to terrorism offenses Thursday, two weeks into his trial at a court in London.

In a dramatic U-turn at Woolwich Crown Court, 32-year-old Husnain Rashid admitted he had carried out a string of terror offenses, including engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts and encouraging terrorism. He had maintained his innocence since his arrest in November 2017.

Rashid wrote messages online encouraging militants to carry out attacks, including posting a picture of Prince George — son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and third in line to the throne — next to a superimposed silhouette of a jihadi fighter, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

He also gave the full address of the young prince’s school in southwest London, which the boy began attending last September, and wrote: “even the royal family will not be left alone.”…

During that time, Rashid also encouraged attacks on a number of other targets including soccer stadiums, British Army bases, shopping centers and Jewish communities, and suggested injecting poison into supermarket ice creams, Britain’s Press Association reported….

He had also provided information about how to shoot down aircraft and jam missile systems to an individual already in Syria, according to the CPS….

Ramadan in Germany: Muslim migrant rapes teen girl so violently, she needs surgery

MAY 31, 2018 5:21 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER34 COMMENTS

Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction.

One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

“German teen girl needs surgery after being violently raped by a Syrian refugee in a cellar,” Voice of Europe, May 31, 2018:

A brutal rape of a German teen has shocked the city of Chemnitz. A Syrian refugee attacked and raped a 15-year-old German girl in a cellar. The young girl was so badly injured that she needed surgery, tabloid Bild reports.

The contact started on Facebook and after a while the two met in the city centre of Chemnitz, where the 18-year-old lives in an apartment. In the cellar, the young man is said to have attacked the girl at around 1:30 pm, raping her and severely injuring her. He then fled.

The 15-year-old, who normally lives in a youth home, managed to return and alarmed a caregiver. “In the hospital she needed surgery and wasn’t heard until Sunday,” the chief prosecutor says.

A neighbour of the Syrian, from the Karl-Immermann-Straße, tells Bild: “Once a woman was with him and there was a dispute. He seemed to hold on to her, probably beat her as well. I have to admit: I did not call the police.”

The 18-year-old Syrian came to Germany three years ago. Authorities say he is registered as an asylum seeker. Formerly, he was only known to the police for minor offenses such as driving in the dark….

Driving in the dark is illegal in Germany?

Ramadan in France: Muslim migrants kick and beat woman for “showing too much cleavage” (The Lambs Have Been led To The Slaughter)

MAY 31, 2018 4:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER39 COMMENTS

The French are going to have to get used to the requirements of their new masters. To do anything else would be “Islamophobic.”

The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified. The abuse is often but doesn’t have to be sexual abuse, as this incident demonstrates.

“French woman beaten up by Afghan asylum seekers ‘for being too lightly dressed,’” by Abdelhamid Kaddour, Voice of Europe, May 31, 2018:

A 33-year-old woman was severely beaten by two Afghan asylum seekers last week, France’s Valeurs Actuelles reports….

The attack on 23 May started with verbal insults. The Afghans were reprimanding the woman for ‘showing too much cleavage’. After the train stopped at Dijon’s train station, they forced her out. The woman was kicked and beaten until she fell to the ground.

The Afghan asylum seekers, 19 and 23 years old, were arrested at the train station….

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Is the Freedom of Speech Dead in Britain?

MAY 31, 2018 2:57 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER65 COMMENTS

At best, it hangs by a thread. My latest in PJ Media:

Last week, British police made two arrests that may come to signify nothing less than Britain’s demise as a free society.

On Friday, activist Tommy Robinson was arrested outside a courthouse where the trial of a Muslim rape gang was taking place. Tommy was discussing Britain’s rape gang crisis on a livestream when the arrest took place (as shown in this video). Police said he was arrested for “breaching the peace,” but it was patently obvious that he was arrested for “offending Islam.”

A judge then imposed a gag order — on the media.

Obviously, they know how bad this makes the British justice system look. But soon after Tommy was arrested, Caolan Robertson of Rebel Media posted — and then removed because of the gag order — a tweet saying: “Tommy Robinson has just been given a 13 month prison sentence starting now for his livestream today. This is a death sentence for tommy [sic]. He is going to die in jail. This has to be stopped.”

Tommy Robinson seems to have been arrested, tried, and sentenced all in the same morning. He was given this harsh sentence because he was deemed to have violated the terms of an earlier probation, which apparently included a prohibition on making videos outside courthouses. But the prohibition on him doing that was outrageous and politically motivated in the first place. Clearly he was arrested, rather than simply given a warning, because of who he is and what he does. His arrest was of a piece with the government’s desire to keep people ignorant and complacent regarding Muslim rape gangs and the high cost of mass Muslim migration.

The 13-month sentence Tommy received could likely result in his demise.

Like Britain First leader Paul Golding, Robinson will likely be placed in the general prison population, which is dominated by violent Muslims who will be quite happy to dispatch him to face Allah’s judgment.

This case is much bigger than Tommy Robinson. Whatever one may think of him and his work, style, or approach, he is being harassed and persecuted by the British government for calling attention to the activity of Muslim rape gangs — which British authorities have done everything they could to cover up — and to jihad violence and Sharia oppression in general.

The second arrest, as captured in this video, was that of a middle-aged woman named Amy who was arrested on Wednesday at her home. Amy began filming the officers with her phone as police demanded she let them in.

Amy asked them if she was going to be arrested and asked them what the charge was; they refused to answer. They simply repeated their demand that she let them in, threatening to break down the door if she did not. Amy’s confusion and fear at being confronted by police at her door at nine o’clock in the morning are palpable.

When she does open the door, she is told she is under arrest. A young male policeman bellows: “Do not resist us!” He and his female partner roughly handcuff Amy and lead her away.

This arrest may have happened, at least in part, because last month, Amy confronted London police in Hyde Park — as you can see in this video — where Muslims were placing down their prayer mats on the walkways and conducting public prayer. She pointed out to them that it was against the law to hold public prayers in parks, but police responded only with obfuscation and indifference.

However, Amy wasn’t arrested for embarrassing the London police. At least not officially. As you can see from yet another video, she was arrested for “homophobia,” not “Islamophobia.”

Apparently Amy said “Have a gay day” to a gay rights activist who confronted her, and is being charged with assault for pushing him away. An assault charge, given that Amy is hardly an imposing physical presence and walks with a cane, is absurd and obviously trumped-up.

Amy’s arrest seems to indicate that British police are now arresting people for having “unacceptable” opinions. It appears as if Britain is now fully a police state, in which people can be arrested and brutalized on nebulous “hate” charges, and have no rights, no recourse.

Given the fact that Theresa May’s government is eagerly Sharia-compliant, it is entirely possible that Amy was targeted also for reminding police of the law forbidding public prayer in parks, or for “Islamophobia” in general. If she wasn’t, such arrests are coming, and coming soon.

The British government, in arresting Tommy Robinson and Amy, is showing itself willing to incarcerate people for having opinions that it considers unacceptable. That heralds the death of Britain as a free society and the beginning of an authoritarian police state there — unless this slide to totalitarianism is stopped now. British public figures, whatever criticism they have leveled against Tommy Robinson in the past, must call for him to be freed today, or else they expose themselves as supporting the degeneration of Britain into a police state.

These videos ought to shock the world and lead to an international denunciation of Britain’s slide into totalitarianism, and to calls for it to respect the human rights of all its citizens — not just Muslims….
