Nigeria: Court grants teen girl restraining order over death threats
from father and brothers for apostasy
AUG 31, 2023 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
The Sharia penalty for apostasy is death.
It is beyond the comprehension of most Westerners that any teen girl’s father and brothers could murder her for apostasy; they choose to follow written tenets…
“They wish that you would disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that you may be on the same level. So do not choose friends from them until they migrate in the way of Allah, if they turn back, then take them and kill them wherever you find them, and choose no friend or helper from among them.” (Quran 4:89)
The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.'” (Sahih Bukhari 52:260)
[In the words of] “Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him. (Sahih Bukhari 84:57)
Of course not all Muslims do follow such tenets, as is the case with “Mary Olowe’s” mother, who took her to safety and likely needs a haven herself.
Nigerian Christians are experiencing genocide as the world turns a blind eye and focuses on whatever the news cycle dictates.

Nigerian Teen Whose Christian Conversion Triggered Death Threats
Granted Restraining Order
by Joe Bukuras Jos, ACI Africa, August 28, 2023:
An 18-year-old Nigerian Christian convert has been granted a court order protecting her from her father and brothers, who have been threatening to kill her for leaving the Islamic religion.
Identified by the pseudonym Mary Olowe, the woman was smuggled to safety in a Christian community by her mother, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, the religious freedom organization that assisted in the case.
There's a safe Christian community in Nigeria? Really?
Following the threats, Olowe and her mother sought a restraining order against the father and brothers. ADF International announced the Nigerian high court’s order on Friday.
The order said that “the defendants are hereby restrained from threat and attempt on the life of the applicant following her decision to change from the practice of Islam to Christianity and also not to breach her fundamental rights as to the choice of her religion or thoughts.”
The ruling was not appealed, according to ADF International.
“We are relieved that Mary has found protection from these credible threats and that the court recognized her fundamental right to convert from Islam to Christianity,” Sean Nelson, legal counsel for ADF International, said in a statement Friday.
“This is an important decision that we pray will help others facing threats to their lives only because they came to believe in Christ,” he said.
Nelson said that no one should be persecuted for their faith, adding that Nigerian Christian converts from Islam often are targeted and discriminated against for their change in religion….
The Nigerian constitution has no official state religion and provides for religious freedom, according to the U.S. State Department’s 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom in Nigeria….
According to ADF International, 5,500 Christians were killed for their faith last year across the globe and Nigerians constituted 90% of those deaths….
Cops forced Muslim woman to remove hijab for mugshot: lawsuit
by Julia Martin, Miami Herald, August 31, 2023:
A devout Muslim woman was threatened with indefinite jail time if she didn’t take off her hijab for a booking photo in Tennessee, a new federal lawsuit says.
Forcing an observant Muslim woman to remove her hijab in front of men who are not family is “humiliating and degrading,” according to the lawsuit, which likened doing so to making a woman remove her shirt in public.
No man outside of Sophia Johnston’s family has seen her hair since she was a child — as that would go against her religious beliefs — until Aug. 23, when she was booked in Rutherford County on a six-year-old outstanding warrant for driving on a suspended license, a complaint filed Aug. 29 in Nashville federal court says.
Johnston, who is white and Black, is a proud American Muslim, she told McClatchy News on Aug. 31.
How is it that Black is capitalized but white is not? Interesting!
On Aug. 23, Johnston unsuccessfully pleaded with Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office deputies to allow her to keep her hijab on for her mugshot, according to the complaint. The deputies are accused of denying her request for a religious accommodation.
After an intake officer warned Johnston she’d stay in jail until she took the photo without her hijab, she saw no other choice but to comply, as she has eight children and “could not afford to be incarcerated indefinitely,” the complaint says….
Afghanistan: sharp rise in female suicides ‘explicitly linked’
to Taliban oppression
SEP 1, 2023 8:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
According to the Middle East Institute, the Taliban’s “religious roadmap for Afghanistan” is grounded in strict Sharia, as Jihad Watch has frequently stated. The Taliban pledge:
We are devout Muslims who fight for God and oppose corrupt leaders — whether they are former Afghan communists, jihadi leaders, or educated technocrats — and we have an alternative vision for a new Afghanistan.
It has been argued — and not without Islamic apologists expressing deep offense — that the more religious a Muslim becomes, the more abusive and intolerant of infidels, minorities and women he or she becomes. Yet it is often true. The dictates of the Sharia that Westerners find most objectionable are based on Islamic tenets, which are adhered to strictly by groups such as the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and the like. Recently, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared of the Taliban that “Turkey has nothing that contradicts their beliefs.”
In Afghanistan, women are a main focus for human rights groups, since their lives are in utter misery under Taliban rule. 90% of women in Afghanistan “are subjected to some form of domestic violence.” They are oppressed and dictated to by their government and their male guardian overlords.
‘Despair is settling in’: female suicides on rise in Taliban’s Afghanistan
by Zahra Nader, Guardian, August 28, 2023:
First, her dreams of becoming a doctor were dashed by the Taliban’s ban on education. Then her family set up a forced marriage to her cousin, a heroin addict. Latifa* felt her future had been snatched away.
“I had two options: to marry an addict and live a life of misery or take my own life,” said the 18-year-old in a phone interview from her home in central Ghor province. “I chose the latter.”
It was not an isolated act of desperation. Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in the summer of 2021, there has been a disturbing surge in the number of women taking their own lives or attempting to do so, data collected from public hospitals and mental health clinics across a third of Afghanistan’s provinces shows….
The men of the Taliban will have a lot to answer for when they stand before Jesus Christ. And, they will stand before Jesus Christ, not Mohammed.
India: Hindu girl in forced Muslim marriage tortured,
thrown out for refusing to become wife of father-in-law, too
SEP 1, 2023 12:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
Every year, about 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls are kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam and marry Muslim men. Others are coerced into such a marriage after extreme harassment. “Love jihad,” as it is called, is consistent with the sex slavery of infidels that is sanctioned by the Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30).
This case takes the abuse of a Hindu girl to another level. For refusing to marry her father-in-law, “the woman was brutally assaulted by her husband’s family members and was thrown out of the house as well.” The world ignores the routine human rights abuses of infidels as it focuses on “Islamophobia.”

Hindu girl converts to Islam to marry Muslim man, thrown out
for refusing to become wife of father-in-law too
OpIndia, August 31, 2023:
In the Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh, a shocking case of love jihad and torture has come to the fore wherein a Hindu girl from Lucknow was converted to Islam by her Muslim man named Abu Hamid Ansari and after that, she was asked to become his father’s wife too after they had a Nikah. Upon refusing to give in to their bizarre demand, the woman was brutally assaulted by her husband’s family members and was thrown out of the house as well.
In a video statement posted by Sudarshan News, the victim alleged that her husband had assured her that she would not be harassed or tortured after she converted to Islam and performed Nikah with him in 2020. A Sudarshan News report also shows the Nikahnama of the victim and her husband. The family lived in Aligarh and then shifted to Bareilly. The woman said that her marriage was a case of love jihad and it was solemnised by deceit because she was lured into converting to Islam and marrying the Muslim man by assuring that she would not be harassed.
However, after performing Nkah [sic] with the use of deceit, as claimed by the victim, her husband’s father Abu Huraira Ansari told her that he would not keep her at his home as his daughter-in-law but as his own wife. Her husband also forced her to become the wife of her father-in-law too.
I would hazard a guess that this was the plan all along.
She added that her father-in-law tried to force her to comply with his demands, however, she refused to become his wife. Following this, Abu Hamid’s family, including his father Huraira, brother Sayeed, whom the victim accused of being the mastermind, another brother Abu Sufiyan, sister Habeeba, mother Sayeeda Khatoon and others brutally thrashed her and expelled her from their home….
