Video: The Murder of Muslim Women and Girls by Islamists

Family Security Matters 24 January 2012
By Dave Gaubatz

The United Nations (UN) reports that 5000 Muslim women and girls are killed every year in the name of Islam. The UN uses the term "honor killings.” In reality there are thousands more killed but never reported, or the investigative agency does not realize the death was related to Islamic values.

• Book: The Misery of Islam

EuropeNews 11 January 2012
Cover of the German edition of Misery of IslamBy Jaya Gopal
Introduction by Ibn Warraq

It gives me great pleasure to introduce Mr. Jaya Gopal’s
THE MISERY OF ISLAM.
