Taliban judge says women have lesser brains: Read how human rights are crushed in Afghanistan after Taliban have taken over
16 February, 2022

As liberals and seculars of India are overtly supporting the Islamists in the ongoing Karnataka hijab row, a documentary covering the after-effects of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan by Vice News has been released into which a Taliban judge says that women cannot become a judge under the Taliban rule as they have lesser brains and as they are not good believers. While the hijab is argued to be a matter of choice or freedom of religious practice in India, the documentary by Vice News is done by a journalist covering herself with hijab throughout the report. She was also forced to wear a complete burqa strictly according to the sharia law while visiting a Maulana for an interview.

The documentary made by Vice News covers many aspects in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule for the last six months. It majorly focuses on the life and situation of women depicting how brutally their human rights are crushed under Islamic rule in a nation that briefly had a glimpse of the world view, however incomplete, in the last 20 years when the Taliban was not in power.

Palestinian rock-throwing incidents spike; Knesset demands tougher punishments
“The problem is that 99% of the people who are indicted receive a punishment more suited for a child than a grown man,” said Matan Asher, spokesperson for Im Tirtzu, which worked with Knesset member Keti gotcha2rit’s office to draft the legislation.
BY DAVID ISAAC

(February 18, 2022 / JNS) Palestinian stone-throwing incidents against Jews in Judea and Samaria spiked in 2021, capping a disturbing rise in the total number of attacks since 2018. Observers tell JNS that one reason is Israel’s failure properly to punish the perpetrators. Likud Knesset member Keti gotcha2rit introduced a bill on Feb. 8 with a potential fix, establishing a minimum penalty for the offense.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, a total of 5,532 rock-throwing attacks occurred in Judea and Samaria in 2021, a jump of 38% over 2020 (4,002 attacks). There were 3,805 in 2019 and 1,881 in 2018.

‘No hijab when they make TikTok videos, but they want to wear it inside classroom’: Non-hijabi students in Karnataka say protests spoiling their education
19 February, 2022

The Hijab controversy has intensified across the country, especially in Karnataka, as Muslim students are openly violating the Karnataka High Court’s interim order by attempting to enter the educational institutions by wearing hijab and burqa.

Amidst the disobedience of existing laws by a section of Muslim students, there is a sense of despair among Hindu as well as other non-hijabi students. The non-Muslim students are facing the heat of this hijab row as the dress code has become the main issue, relegating academics and studies into the background.

The non-Muslim students are the worst hit due to the hijab protests in the state, whose voices are being ignored by the left-liberal media establishment. However, these students have now come on the streets to share their grievances, saying that their education and academics are being affected due to the protests by Muslim students against the hijab ban

By AFP
February 19, 2022

An Islamic State-linked group killed around 40 civilians this week in a northern region of Mali that has been plagued by clashes between rival jihadist groups, AFP reported on Friday.

“There are at least 40 civilian deaths in three different sites” in the Tessit area near the borders of Burkina Faso and Niger, a civilian official in the area told AFP.

The official, whose name was withheld for security reasons, said that the death toll was still provisional because the information was patchy and coming in slowly from the remote and dangerous area, where witnesses had scattered.

Penang mufti says Hindu mum should get custody but kids must remain Muslim despite unilateral conversion
Yiswaree Palansamy
February 20, 2022

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 — Penang Mufti Datuk Seri Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor said Hindu mother Loh Siew Hong should regain custody of all three of her children but said they must remain Muslims despite being unilaterally converted as minors by her ex-husband.

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported him saying that reversing their conversion was “impractical” and might “further complicate the situation”, and that they should remain Muslims for the good of all.

The remark came after Indira Gandhi Action Team’s (Ingat) leader Arun Dorasamy reportedly pushed for the children’s conversion to be cancelled.

“Doing that would only muddy the good ties that the Hindus have with Muslims in the country.

“From an Islamic perspective, one’s faith in Islam cannot be reversed through a court decree, but only if that person voluntarily wants to leave Islam without any pressure from anyone,” he was quoted saying by the news portal.
