And the U.S. Constitution. The Patriot Act. NSEERs. National security letters. The watchlist. The no-fly list. Bulk data collection. CVE. Anti-Sharia laws. The Muslim Ban. In the twenty years since September 11, 2001, our government has established dozens of laws, policies and programs ostensibly designed to prevent additional attacks on our nation. Some of those post-9/11 measures—such as increasing airport security and improving communication between federal agencies regarding potential threats—were reasonable, legal and successful in making us safer. But many other measures were as ineffective as they were unconstitutional. They undermined civil liberties, violated civil rights and harmed countless people—particularly Muslims […]

Donald Trump is a uniter—just not in the way he had hoped. His presidency has brought American Jews and Muslims together to defeat him in 2020. It has also increased each respective community’s support for fellow minority groups. Those are the findings of a new report by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), a nonpartisan organization created in 2002 that focuses on issues impacting the Muslim American community. As ISPU found, Jews and Muslims are the two religious groups that, by far, least approve of Trump. Only 34 percent of Jews and 30 percent of Muslims say Trump is […]
In a much publicised show segment, models clad in the budding designer’s colourful underwear walked the catwalk dancing to “Doom”, a 2017 song by producer Coucou Chloe that recited a verse from the hadith – a record of Muhammad’s words and actions. rihanna has used music where a hadith is being used as lyrics for her fenty LINGERIE show. this is very disrespectful and should be apologised for. if this was a bible verse the world would have erupted. please share pic.twitter.com/wAiyLQuNCT — ⚡️playboi fardi 💥 (@balaayo4) October 5, 2020 Rihanna issued an apology to the Muslim community on Tuesday […]
by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Human Rights Versione originale in Italiano Two positive news comes from Pakistan in relation to the terrible stories of Huma, kidnapped by a Muslim on October 10, 2019 when she was only 14 and ruthlessly raped until she became pregnant, and of Maira, kidnapped at only 13 and detained by her rapist on the basis of a fake marriage certificate. The two Pakistani girls of Christian Catholic faith were forced to convert to Islam by Muslim kidnappers as happens, according to the lawyers who follow the events, for about 2,000 girls every year in […]

by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Versione originale in Italiano In Pakistan, an honest and serious 14-year-old girl, Christian and proud of her virginity, can be kidnapped by a Muslim who wants her as his wife only because her kidnapper has a brother who is a security forces’s member. She can be forced to convert to Islam against her will and raped once, ten, a hundred times without anyone being able to help or free her. Until the irreparable happens and she becomes pregnant, just as Muslims and Serbs used to do each other during the Balkan War on the […]
Hard Line party leader Rasmus Paludan slammed the Swedish authorities’ efforts to ban the Quran-burning as attacks on freedom of expression, as well as the passivity of the Swedish police that allowed violence to escalate, and pledged further demonstrations. Following the riots that engulfed the Swedish city of Malmö after a group of Danes associated with the anti-Islamic Hard Line party burned a copy of the Quran, its leader Rasmus Paludan has pledged that Quran burnings will continue until rioters learn how to behave in a civilised society. Unperturbed by the bout of riots and arsons involving hundreds of Malmö’s Muslims […]
Jacob Blake’s father, Jacob Blake Sr., recited a Quran verse this week when speaking to the media. Jacob Blake was shot multiple times by a Kenosha police officer on Sunday after he resisted arrest and opened his car door, allegedly reaching for a knife. Jacob Blake Sr. perfectly recited the first sura of the Quran: “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim,” which means, “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.” “This is for my son Jacob Blake,” he said as he rattled off the war cry prayer in Arabic.

The organisation bills itself as an international aid agency that provides humanitarian relief to over 40 countries in the world irrespective of gender, race, or religious belief. Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband once described the organisation as representing “the values that bind Britain together as a liberal democracy.” The full board of the UK’s largest Muslim charity set to resign on Sunday following revelations that one of its directors praised terrorists and engaged in anti-Semitic slurs on social media, according to The Times. Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), which is based in the city of Birmingham, has admitted that a number of […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): The controversy around the centuries-old Hindu-Muslim row over the actual ownership of a piece of land doesn’t seem to be dying, despite India’s Supreme Court settling the dispute in 2019. A grand Ram Temple will be built on land where the 16th century Babri Mosque once stood, following the court’s verdict last year. As all eyes are set on the foundation-laying of the Ram Temple in India’s Ayodhya city by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board has stated that the conversion of Hagia Sophia from a museum into a mosque is a […]

Olivier Douliery/AFP via Getty Images Joe Biden spoke to a notable Muslim American advocacy organization on Monday. Just his presence — albeit virtually, due to the pandemic, from his home in Delaware — was rather historic for Muslim leaders, who can’t recall another presidential nominee speaking directly to such a large group of Muslims. The group, Emgage Action, says 3,000 people RSVP’d for its livestreamed […]
The EU, along with a number of countries, including Greece, France, and the US, have already voiced serious concern over Turkey’s decision to convert the Hagia Sophia into a mosque, a move that came amid fears over the future of the Christian shrines in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. During upcoming Muslim prayers in the Hagia Sophia, its ancient mosaics depicting Jesus, Mary, and Christian saints may be covered with special technology and lighting, the Greek City Times reports. According to the news outlet, special curtains will be used during the prayers, “while carpets will be placed on the floor which […]
Unlike J.K. Rowling or Donald Trump, Reza Aslan knows what it’s like to be “canceled.” On the evening of June 3, 2017, a van barreled into a crowd of pedestrians on London Bridge before its passengers emerged, stabbing onlookers in nearby Borough Market. Before their blood was even dry, or the culprits’ identities revealed, President Donald Trump tweeted, “We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!” That Trump was using an in-progress terrorist attack as justification for his so-called “Muslim […]
Umar Lee and Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski A radical Muslim Black Lives Matter activist in St. Louis is calling for a mob to target the home of Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski in the middle of the night. In an event page for the “home visit,” organizer Umar Lee is urging people to go to the Archbishop’s home at 1 a.m. on Wednesday. Lee was also responsible for the violent mob that showed up and assaulted Christians who were praying the rosary at the statue of King Louis IX which was organized by the Gateway Pundit. He had falsely claimed that it was a […]
As a Muslim American, I want to offer some sincere advice to the good police officers of America: If you don’t start vocally denouncing the bad cops, you and every other police officer will soon be defined by the worst cops out there—if you aren’t already. Is that fair? No. Yet it’s what the Muslim community faced after 9/11. Countless times in the years following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, people on the right—and even some on the left—called us on to denounce terrorist acts committed by Muslims. The reaction at first by many in the Muslim community—including myself—was: Why should […]
by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Italy Versione originale in Italiano «This case is about a black Muslim immigrant. They are worried about disappointing the white community. For that reason, justice was not served today». This sentence was uttered by Ahmednur Abdirahman, 36, who was among the protesters lined up outside the Hennepin County Government Center (Minnesota) in defense of Mohamed Noor, a 33-year-old African-American police officer from the Minneapolis Police Department tried and sentenced to 12 and a half years for the killing of the 40 year old Australian Justine Ruszczyk, who already bore the surname Damond of the […]
Some imams in Somalia are saying Muslims are immune to COVID-19, going against senior Muslim scholars who have insisted the coronavirus pandemic is a severe threat to all people around the globe. A medical worker in the country told Al Arabiya English the rumor is putting Somalis at risk and working against efforts to try to educate the population of 15 million about the threat of the outbreak. “Some mosques spread this rumor that this disease is only for non-believers,” said the medical worker, who wished to remain anonymous in fear of societal backlash, in an interview with Al Arabiya English.
