Pakistan’s election commission appears powerless to prevent the “political mainstreaming” of Islamic extremists and candidates charged with crimes ranging from corruption and rape to human smuggling and murder, rendering the country’s upcoming race a springboard for radicals and alleged criminals, according to several news reports.
Back in January, the Trump administration made the prudent decision to “suspend at least $900 million in security assistance to Pakistan until it takes action against the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network militant groups.”
To expect genuinely effective government action to be taken against jihad networks in Pakistan is naive. Instead, America and other free nations need to be vigilant in keeping Pakistani jihadists from entering their countries; yet this, too, is unlikely, given the globalist wide-open border agenda.
The Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) organization, a known affiliate of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) jihadist group that carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attack, launched the Milli Muslim League (MML) party this year…..JuD reportedly vowed to make the country a “citadel of Islam.”
Meanwhile, Canadian MP Iqra Khalid, who introduced Canada’s divisive “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103, and who also has unsavory connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian jihad, helped in the inauguration of Jinnah Park, named after the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. She “congratulated the Pakistani community in achieving this milestone.” Although Jinnah was not an adherent of political Islam, one wonders why a park in Canada would be dedicated in honour of Pakistan, a country that has developed into a state sponsor of terrorism, and is well known for its cruel blasphemy laws.

Pakistan’s election commission appears powerless to prevent the “political mainstreaming” of Islamic extremists and candidates charged with crimes ranging from corruption and rape to human smuggling and murder, rendering the country’s upcoming race a springboard for radicals and alleged criminals, according to several news reports.
The sheer number of candidates linked to Islamic extremist groups of all shape, color, and sizes is making it difficult for the election commission to deny them registration. When the election body tries to do so, the candidate simply attaches his name to little known “dormant” political entities while maintaining their ties to banned terrorist organizations.
Besides the hundreds of candidates running under political parties linked to at least one U.S.-designated terrorist group and other jihadi organizations, Geo News reports:
[A]round 2,720 candidates contesting the elections face corruption, criminal, rape, dual nationality, money laundering, extortion, loans/bank defaulting, human smuggling and murder charges in Pakistan … The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-Pakistan) have awarded more tickets to such candidates as compared to other smaller political parties.
