Indonesia: Two Christian men are publicly flogged 40 times each for breaking Sharia law by drinking alcohol and gambling

Two Christian men were publicly flogged today in Indonesia’s ultra-conservative Aceh province for drinking alcohol and gambling, in a rare case of non-Muslims facing a punishment frequently condemned by rights groups.

The two accused received 40 lashes each from a masked sharia officer who beat their backs with a stick.

One of them, identified only as JF, said he chose flogging to avoid a criminal prosecution that could have seen him jailed up to six months.

Raped and Murdered: Christian Girls in Pakistan

Raped and Murdered: Christian Girls in Pakistan

Keeping up with the abuse of Christian girls by Muslims in Pakistan has become exceedingly difficult. Hardly does one story of abduction, enslavement, rape, forced conversion, torture or murder appear, before another follows it — and another, and another. Although of course, needless to say, not all Muslim men regard non-Muslim girls and women this way, unfortunately many there still seem to. Some recent examples include:

The bloated bodies of two Christian sisters who had long rebuffed the advances of their Muslim employers, were found in a sewer in January 2021. Earlier, on November 26, the sisters, Sajida (28) and Abida (26), who were both married and had children, were reported as missing. The two Muslim men for whom they worked had regularly pressured them to convert to Islam and marry them. Even though the young women “made it clear that they were Christian and married, the men threatened them and kept harassing the sisters.”

Trappes France: Teacher describes living in a “Lost city” under police protection due to threats by Muslims … “Many of these children are raised in hatred of France”

Trappes France: Take heed. It will happen here.

Philosophy teacher in Trappes: “It’s a lost city (…) We don’t have much time before things degenerate (…) We need emergency laws”. Threatened with death, he asks for his “exfiltration” ( Note Google Translate)

After calling for resistance to the Islamist threat in November 2020, Didier Lemaire, professor of philosophy at Trappes, is placed under police protection.
Didier Lemaire has been professor of philosophy at Trappes for nearly 20 years. Two decades during which he taught with passion despite the difficulty of this terrain classified as a priority area. Two decades during which he saw this city of the Parisian suburbs lock itself a little more into religious communitarianism.

In 2018, he wrote a letter with Jean-Pierre Obin (author of the book Comment we let Islamism penetrate the school) to the President of the Republic to urge the government to act to protect the youth from the influence of fundamentalists, and in November 2020 he published an open letter after the beheading of Samuel Paty to denounce the state’s lack of strategy in the face of political Islam.

Today, after twenty years of unfailing commitment, Didier Lemaire is throwing in the towel. Forced to go to work under armed police escort, the teacher expects nothing more than his exfiltration from this establishment and from this city where he is no longer safe.

Britain’s ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance’

Few relationships feature one party that freely gives and another party that only takes as blatantly as the relationship between the West and Islam.  Thus, according to a Feb. 1, 2021 report, “The British taxpayer has shelled out over £15,000 to the widow of the mastermind behind the 2017 London Bridge terror attack, while the families of victims were denied similar financial support.”

During that attack, Zahrah Rehman’s husband, Khuram Butt, and two other Muslims, killed eight people and injured another 48, by running over them with a van and stabbing them with knives.  If police had not managed to shoot and kill the three terrorists, many more passersby would likely have been killed.

Greek Archbishop Tells the Truth About Islam, Muslim Leaders Enraged

Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and all Greece touched off a firestorm in mid-January when he dared to note, according to the Orthodox Times, that “Islam was not a religion but a political party.” He added: “They are the people of war.” In response, Muslim leaders the world over have rained down condemnations upon the archbishop. He spoke inaccurately when he said that Islam was not a religion at all, but proof that he was wrong about Islam having a political aspect has not been forthcoming.
