On 26 August, in a telephone interview on the Glenn Beck program, President Trump took a bold stand that no president before him would even address. He said he would support a ban on sharia in the United States: “I would absolutely prohibit the Sharia Law thing, and it is happening in this country a little bit. And where we see it, we take it out. And you have to take it out. You have ONE system. We have a great system. Sometimes it’s very frustrating, but it’s the best there is that I can see.” It’s refreshing to say the least to hear a president acknowledge that sharia has no place in America and President Trump’s statement should embolden lawmakers at the congressional and state level to act on this issue, not just because…Open

An Iranian court handed 56-year-old Kolthoum Akbari ten separate death sentences for systematically marrying and killing elderly men across multiple towns, a killing spree she herself says may have claimed as many as 15 lives. Akbari, whom Iranian media have dubbed the "Black Widow," drugged her victims with sedatives, rubbing alcohol, and diabetes medications before suffocating them, authorities in Mazandaran Province said. She targeted elderly men through Iran's "sigheh" system, a form of temporary marriage under Islamic law, then collected gold, cash, and dowry wealth before moving on to the next husband in a different town. The geographic spread kept anyone from connecting the deaths for roughly twenty years. Her run ended in 2023,…Open
AI:An Iranian court has handed down ten separate death sentences to 56-year-old Kolthoum Akbari, a serial killer known as the "Black Widow" who terrorized elderly men for two decades. Exploiting the sigheh system of temporary marriage to gain access to victims' homes and finances, Akbari used a lethal combination of sedatives, rubbing alcohol, and diabetes medication to drug her husbands before suffocating them with towels. While prosecutors secured convictions for ten deaths, Akbari herself confessed to potentially killing as many as 15 people to steal gold, cash, and dowries across multiple towns in Mazandaran Province. The investigation finally unraveled following the death of her final husband in 2023, leading families to demand…Open

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed told the New York Times in 2009 that he felt an "obligation" to follow Sharia law, a declaration his own campaign now confirms still guides his personal life. El-Sayed, then a 24-year-old medical student and Rhodes scholar, described his commitment in terms that left little room for ambiguity. The Washington Free Beacon reported the unearthed quote on August 11, drawing fresh attention to the Senate candidate's religious convictions just days after his narrow primary victory. El-Sayed told the Times: "Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don't want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way.…Open
