Ethiopia: Muslim girl converts to Christianity, Muslims threaten to murder her

Even her family likely wants her dead. The Qur’an depicts Abraham saying to his non-Muslim relatives: “We have done with you. And there has arisen between us and you hostility and hatred forever, until you believe in Allah alone.” (60:4).

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

Of course, there is no real history of Abraham ever doing anything remotely like that. But the hostility is accurate as God's Angel spoke to Ishmael's mother, telling her that "He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him..."

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”

Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Indii Mikaa’el, International Christian Concern

Teenage Girl Faces Death for Following Jesus

International Christian Concern, July 3, 2026:

Since she decided to follow Jesus in June 2025, 15-year-old Indii Mikaa’el has lost her education and the comfort of her home. She could also lose her life.

Born into a Muslim family in Haroji Wado, near Ethiopia’s border with Sudan, Mikaa’el now lives under constant threats from her family and community. Although Christians worship freely and openly in Ethiopia, Christian converts from Islam in Muslim-majority areas often face violence and even death threats.

“When my family found out that I had decided to follow Jesus, everything turned against me; they became very hostile,” she recalled. “They said I had brought shame to the family; others told me I had betrayed my family and my community. They warned me that I would be killed if I did not go back to Islam.”

The persecution soon became life-threatening. Armed men were reportedly placed near her home in Dambi Dollo, with plans to kill her. Because of threats, she was forced to leave school in September 2025 while still in fifth grade.

“I live in fear every day,” Mikaa’el said. “I cannot sleep peacefully because of thinking about whether someone will attack me. Sometimes I feel trapped because there is nowhere safe for me to stay. I loved going to school, and I wanted to continue learning and have a better future. But the threats became serious, and I had to stop studying.”…

Islam in Europe > Dutch business women raped and beaten in Pakistan by grandson of deputy PM

 

Dutch Women Invited to Pakistan to Meet ‘Investors,’

Terror Ensues

Two Dutch women were invited to Pakistan to meet with people who, as “the grandson of a leading politician” assured them, would be interested in investing in their new company. There were no investors, but instead, Pakistanis who seized them, repeatedly raped them, beat them, threatened them with death, and kept them prisoner in order to exact a ransom in cryptocurrency. They managed miraculously to escape.

Dutch women ‘kidnapped and gang-raped’ after travelling to Pakistan to meet ‘investors'

by Peter Stevens, GB News, July 7, 2026:

A pair of Dutch women were allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped after travelling to Pakistan to meet a group of so-called “investors”.

Four men have now been arrested in connection to the alleged sexual offences.

The 35-year-old woman said she arrived in Pakistan on June 26 after being invited by the grandson of a top politician [Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar], who promised networking opportunities with investors for her company.

The two were picked up by the politician’s grandson, who allegedly provided them with the visas needed to visit the country.

After spending three days in Islamabad, the women said they were taken to an abandoned house in Lahore under the pretence of it being his aunt’s birthday.

The women alleged that on June 29 they were then repeatedly raped, beaten and threatened with death.

The Pakistani men then allegedly demanded a ransom of $1.5million as they threatened to sell the women’s organs, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

“After hitting me for a few minutes, they said they wanted money. First they asked for $200,000, then $700,000, then a million, up to 2 million,” the woman said.

 “I said I had no money. But he insisted, otherwise he would kill me.”

The men then used her phone to send $17,000 to their crypto wallet, according to Dutch media.

The women were told by the men that enough money had been paid by family members, and they were to be driven to the airport to be returned….

There is a moral to this ghastly tale.

Kindly refrain, women of the Western world, from befriending Muslim men, from accepting invitations to a Muslim land, from taking up with, or marrying, Muslim men. In this regard, I have my own tale to tell. Years ago, my beautiful and blonde sister-in-law used to play tennis with a Pakistani graduate student. In the most engaging way, he urged her to visit him in Peshawar, to which he was soon to return, and promised he would show her the wonders of the East. She turned him down flat. I hate to think what could have happened had she accepted his invitation.

Grok's expanding lawsuit over CSAM

 

xAI faces expanding lawsuit over Grok’s alleged failure to flag child sex abuse images

An amended class action accuses Elon Musk's AI company of building tools that enabled predators and obstructed police investigations into CSAM deepfakes

by Editorial Team

2 days ago

An expanded class action lawsuit against xAI now includes some of the most disturbing allegations yet leveled at a major AI company: that its Grok image-generation tools were used to produce thousands of child sexual abuse images, and that the company actively obstructed law enforcement efforts to investigate the material.

The amended complaint, filed in US District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that a young girl’s stepfather used Grok to generate 7,000 sexually explicit images from a single photograph taken when his stepdaughter was 11 years old. The stepfather took his own life in March after police discovered the material.

The scale of the problem

The lawsuit, originally filed on March 16, 2026, was brought by three Tennessee plaintiffs, including two minors, and seeks nationwide class-action status for what could be thousands of victims.

Reports cited in connection with the case estimate that Grok produced between 1.8 million and 3 million sexualized images in early January 2026 alone. Of those, roughly 23,000 allegedly depicted children.

The plaintiffs argue the company knowingly produced and profited from tools that lacked industry-standard safeguards, the kind of protections that competitors like OpenAI and Meta have already implemented, including red-teaming protocols, content filters, and automated detection systems.

Grok was noted for its comparatively permissive output capabilities, including a feature called “Spicy Mode” that loosened content restrictions.

A growing legal and regulatory siege

The California Attorney General launched a separate investigation into the company in January 2026. Multiple state attorneys general have joined in coordinated actions. The City of Baltimore filed its own consumer protection lawsuit against xAI and its affiliates on March 24, 2026.

One perpetrator referenced in the broader proceedings reportedly generated explicit content using minors’ social media and yearbook photos. That individual was arrested in December 2025.

The plaintiffs allege that beyond enabling the creation of CSAM, xAI shielded child predators by obstructing police investigations into Grok-generated material.

The victims described in the lawsuit report anxiety, reputational damage, and lasting psychological harm. The class action framework suggests their attorneys believe the pool of affected minors extends well beyond the named plaintiffs.

Grok is my favourite AI tool but it is very disappointing that someone hasn't been fired over this disaster. It suggests that Musk approved of the release of Grok long before it was safe to do so. That is very disappointing because I have a lot of faith in Musk's inherent goodness. I hope, and pray, that he gets control of Grok and starts protecting our women and children rather than contributing to their sexual and emotional abuse.

Approaching Sodom > The Presbyterian Church of the USA (PCUSA) votes overwhelmingly to support the mutilation of children's bodies

 

PCUSA declares support for body-deforming trans surgeries for kids

Where in the Bible is there support for such madness?

By Michael Gryboski, Editor Monday, July 06, 2026

Commissioners listen to discussion during the 13th Plenary of the 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on July 2, 2026. The assembly was held June 22 to July 2, 2026, at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. | Rich Copley

The Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States, has passed a measure expressing support for body-deforming sex-change surgeries for youth exhibiting gender dysphoria.  

At a plenary session for the PCUSA's 227th General Assembly held last week, delegates voted 441-30 in favor of an overture called GEN-02, also known as “On Access to Healthcare.”

The rationale for the overture describes so-called “gender-affirming care” as “medically necessary and evidence based for the well-being of many transgender, non-binary, and gender- expansive people who experience symptoms of gender dysphoria or distress that result from having one’s gender identity not match their sex assigned at birth.”

GEN-02 also denounces state bans on the chemical and surgical mutilation of children's bodies, labeling them as stopping young people “from accessing medically necessary, safe health care backed by decades of research and supported by every major medical association representing over 1.3 million US doctors.”

The Rev. Olivia Lane, moderator of the 227th General Assembly’s Gender and Sexuality Justice Committee, explained to those gathered that her committee amended the overture to remove the phrase “including minors” from the text, which originally read “the PC(USA) supports all individuals, including minors, to have access to all medically necessary, evidence-based gender-affirming healthcare.”

According to Lane, this was done “not to exclude young people,” but rather at the request of the young adult advisory delegates who were on the committee.

“These delegates asked us to consider whether that phrase, however well-intentioned, might be weaponized to cause further harm to the very children it named,” Lane continued. “The committee heard that request and acted on it by providing comment with the clear and stated understanding that all individuals means exactly that. All, without exception, without qualification, and without age limit.”

Zayn Silva, a corresponding member with the Advocacy Committee for LGBTQIA+ Equity, who spoke in support of the measure, claimed that “this is a life-and-death matter,” and went on to recount the long-disproven claim that chopping off sex organs and other body parts can lower the suicide rates of people suffering from gender dysphoria (see here and here).

Studies have shown that "patients who have undergone gender affirmation surgery are associated with significantly higher risks of suicide, self-harm, and PTSD compared to general population control groups in this real-world database."

Debate over the measure was brief, as one of the moderators noted that none of the delegates queuing up to comment on the proposal intended to speak against the overture.

In recent years, there has been considerable debate about the trans medicalization of children who are confused about their sex. 

The New York Times published a piece in 2022 showing that a growing number of medical professionals and formerly trans-identified people were concerned about the potential long-term harmful effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

In December 2024, the U.K.'s Department of Health and Social Care announced that it was banning the use of puberty-blocking drugs for children exhibiting gender dysphoria for the foreseeable future, with the one exception being for clinical trials. 

“The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) has provided independent expert advice that there is currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children,” the department stated.

“Puberty blockers for the treatment of gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria in under 18s were banned temporarily in May 2024 after the Cass Review found there was insufficient evidence to show they were safe. Legislation will be updated today to make the order indefinite and will be reviewed in 2027.”

In May 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a 400-plus-page report denouncing "gender-affirming care" for minors, calling it "invasive" and "usually irreversible."

"These interventions carry risk of significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret," stated the HHS report's introduction.

"Meanwhile, systematic reviews of the evidence have revealed deep uncertainty about the purported benefits of these interventions."

The PCUSA isn't the only liberal mainline Protestant denomination that has denounced state bans on the bodily mutilation of children and youth suffering from gender dysphoria. 

In March, Bishop Julius C. Trimble, general secretary of the United Methodist Church’s General Board of Church and Society, published an article supporting proposed federal legislation aimed at eliminating state-level bans on the controversial practice.

Mainline churches are becoming more and more godless by the day.
