Your Daily Muslim #648: Khalil Attieh
“Hating the Jews is a great honor for me and it makes me walk with my head high, because they are worthy of hatred… Any man of honor should hate the Jews.” Jordanian MP Khalil Attieh really doesn’t like Jews. His hatred likely stems from a deep-seated inferiority complex brought about by alopecia, an expansive […]
Your Daily Muslim #647: Ismail Kijo
Today’s daily Muslim is a case study in abnormal psychology. Meet Ismail Kijo, a delegate of Malaysia’s UMNO political party. How does Kijo feel he can best serve his nation? By trying to get all gay rights taken away. “[The practice of homosexuality] should not be allowed, as it is against the rule of nature […]
Your Daily Muslim #636: Ibrahim Melih Gökçek
Ankara, Turkey. The city’s mayor, Ibrahim Melih Gökçek, made some offensive comments about abortion during a televised interview. “Women kill their babies born out of adultery. Why do babies die because of these so-called mothers? Let mothers kill themselves.” This led two young women to throw eggs at him, as an act of both overt […]
Your Daily Muslim #629: Hisham Barakat
The legalization of gay marriage has been sweeping across the United States, with more states joining the movement for equality by the month. However, the Islamic world remains obstinate and steadfast against same-sex marriages thanks to their seventh-century religious beliefs. Recently, some Egyptians held an unofficial gay wedding ceremony. The wedding was filmed, which was […]
Your Daily Muslim #615: Kurmanbek Dyikanbayev
Islam and LGBT rights don’t go together, despite idealistic leftists’ insistence the two can coexist. Even Muhammad himself, pigs be upon him, called for gays to be put to death. It’s no wonder that Muslims can’t tolerate LGBT people when their “perfect” moral exemplar (read: pedophile warlord) was a raging homophobe. Kurmanbak Dyikanbayev, a member […]
Your Daily Muslim #612: Fazlul Haque Amini
You know your life amounted to nothing when your Wikipedia entry lists your most notable idea as being the implementation of sharia. In other words, Bangladeshi Islamic scholar/politician Fazlul Haque Amini (not to be confused with Fazlul Haque), didn’t give the world anything of worth before his passing in 2012. However he tried his damnedest […]
Your Daily Muslim #587: Nasser Ahmad Ghori
What do you do when your area has an overabundance of man’s best friend and your religion views dogs as nejis (unclean)? Afghan Muslim Nasser Ahmad Ghori, director of Kabul’s sanitation department, has been organizing dog massacres for quite some time – and has no plans to stop. Many of the stray animals have diseases […]
Your Daily Muslim #581: Mohammad Hafarizam Harun
When anything and everything can be seen as an offense to your fragile belief system, perhaps it’s time for those beliefs to be re-evaluated. When something as natural as a bodily cycle becomes a major issue to religious obligation, it should call the teachings of the faith into question, not serve as a strike against […]
Your Daily Muslim #577: Jamilah Nasheed
Jamilah Nasheed’s story is actually pretty inspirational, which makes me sad that she truly belongs on here. She fell in with the wrong crowd during her teenage years and ended up joining a gang. As a result, she ended up stabbing someone and serving time behind bars. Despite her past, Nasheed has managed to rise […]
