What do you do when your uppity, independent minded 19 year old daughter has the gall to refuse an arranged marriage with a stranger twice her age? Why, you burn her with a hot spoon, that's what! What better way to preserve your cultural heritage than by torturing your loved ones into submission. Hey, isn't that what Islam means? Yusra Farhan won't be winning any "Mother of the Year" awards, especially con ...

Remember how American elections are never about issues that are actually relevant to the health of the nation in general? Even while your economy continues to tank, politicians seem totally unconcerned that The Federal Reserve gave American banks over 7 trillion dollars with a negligible interest rate, or that the protracted War in Afghanistan and Iraq has cost them another 1.29 trillion. No, the most impor ...

Every so often, I hear someone claim that honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. While it's true that the practice is actually older than the religion (it is, after all, the "new kid on the block" compared to the other two Abrahamic Religions), it seems as though this barbaric ritual has found fertile ground in this religion. While the practice has its roots in much older Arab patriarchal societies t ...

Seems like every other day, the UN proves just how much it's willing to cater to the demands of irrational and prejudiced nations. The latest scandal involves 79 countries that have taken upon that have taken upon themselves the task of "eradicating" homosexuality.

Roshonara Choudhry would still be continuing her studies to become a teacher, if she hadn't been seduced by Islamic fundamentalism. Instead of living a comfortably being a contributing member of society, she'll be spending her life in jail for the attempted murder of MP Stephen Timms: Choudhry stabbed Mr Timms, 55, with a kitchen knife at his constituency surgery. She told officers she had intended to kill ...

Do you not rejoice at the endless display of insanity that is the World Net Daily? I am utterly in awe of this website's ability to draw such a huge audience, while simultaneously being one of the ugliest, more poorly presented idiot "news" sites on the planet. It looks like the late 90's puked all over this thing. Today's crusty old man with a religious chip on his shoulder is one David Kupelian, whose art ...

If you're not a regular visitor to randi.org (that's famous skeptic James Randi's website), you might not know about their fight against dangerous quackery; more specifically, their attempts to expose bogus "bomb detectors" that are nothing more than dowsing devices. The device in question, called the ADE-651, has no electronic components to speak of and has a rather unimpressive looking antenna on it. This ...

ABC News recently broke a pretty big story about Trijion, a company that makes optical sights for firearms, and how they've been sneaking secret Bible coded references on their gun sights. One of them is II Corinthians 4:6 (abbreviated as 2COR4:6) "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus ...

In a nutshell, these guys are a group of powerful and influential individuals who believe the true message of Christianity isn't about charity, forgiveness or any of the other typical conventions; they cov ...

There are some pretty shitty parents out there. If you want to see some hilarious examples of terrible child-rearing, you can always check ParentFail.com to see some truly hilarious examples. Of course, this guy might actually top them all thanks to his ridiculous religious traditions. Police are looking for Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, after he ran over his 20 year daughter who he felt had become "too wester ...
