Where might Imran Khan be getting his ideas about women’s rights? See HERE, which refutes the frequently-told lie that Islam respects women. With specific regards to women covering up, the Quran teaches (contrary to the frequent assertion that “coverings” are cultural):
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
If a woman does not cover up, she is fair game to be assaulted (as Imran Khan just reiterated):
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
Khan made similar comments about women encouraging sex assaults by how they dress, “stating that sexual violence was a product of ‘obscenity,’ which he described as a Western import.”
Imran Khan is a known defender of Islamic supremacism, and is fighting tooth and nail to export his country’s Islamic blasphemy laws globally. In his view (which is supported by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation), “Islamophobia” is anything that insults Islam and hurts the feelings of Muslims. This means that to call out abusive Islamic blasphemy laws and Islamic teachings about women constitutes “Islamophobia.” Cancel culture in the West coalesces perfectly with Sharia blasphemy laws, which have been shoved down the throats of Westerners via mainstream Islamic lobbies, and protected by Islamic apologists.
“Imran Khan does it again, blames women wearing ‘small clothes’ for sexual violence,” The Indian Express, June 21, 2021:
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is again drawing flak for his comments blaming women for the rising sexual violence in the country. In an interview with Axios’ journalist Jonathan Swan on HBO, which aired on June 20, the prime minister said, “If a woman is wearing very few clothes it will have an impact on the man unless they are robots. It’s common sense.”
Earlier this year, in an interview with Geo News, Khan had made similar comments, stating that sexual violence was a product of ‘obscenity,’ which he described as a Western import.
Khan was asked by a caller what the government plans to do in the light of rising incidents of rape and sexual violence, especially against children.
In response, Imran Khan blamed “fahashi” (vulgarity) for the rise of rape and sexual violence in the country. Khan also spoke of religion and the concept of ‘purdah’ in Islam. It is to remove “temptation” from society because “not everyone has willpower”, he said.
Justifying his earlier remarks, Khan told Swan that he had spoken about ‘purdah’ as a way to avoid temptation. “We don’t have discotheques, we don’t have night clubs, so its a different way of life here. If you raise temptation in the society to a point and all these young guys have nowhere to go, it has consequences in the society,” he said.
When Swan prodded if a woman’s clothes can provoke sexual violence, Khan responded, “It depends on what society you live in. If in a society people haven’t seen that sort of thing, it will have an impact on them. If you grow up in a society like yours, maybe it won’t have an impact.”….
Infidel says
In his case, I don’t blame him: I blame the brain-dead fangals that he had in the 80s in both India as well as other cricketing countries (England, Australia) who made him a superstar. And usually, they were people who had no clue about muslims
Incidentally, this is somebody who studied at Oxford and played cricket for Sussex for several years, and was perceived as being very westernized at the time. One more point debunking those who think that a Western education would make a muslim more civilized
Wellington says
+1. And after all, how can anyone of sense and knowledge take anyone seriously about anything who thinks that Japan and Germany share a border?
Infidel says
There were some more gems from him – like “Chinese trains run faster than the speed of light”
Raja says
Thank you Infidel and Wellington for a peek into Imran Khan’s brains. Infidel, this guy is a living proof that even westernized Muslim can be equally retarded, his playboy past notwithstanding (in UK, India etc).
OZs were bowled over by his charm, in fact some marketing group/company had claimed that he was the only marketable face down under (referring to visiting Paki cricket team then)
This is also case of an ugly brain behind a charming face, especially in the Islamic context.
gregbeetham says
Maybe he was thinking of WW2 after Germany had trampled over Poland and Japan had occupied Korea for years beforehand then the border would have only been 9 time zones wide.
tim gallagher says
As you point out, Infidel, this piece of crap, Khan, had the chance to live a civilised, mellow, western style of life for many years and yet he turns around and goes off to live the old primitive 7th century Arabian lifestyle of the hardline Muslim country, Pakistan. Well, who knows how he actually lives (probably a total hypocrite) but he champions the backward, knuckle dragging lifestyle of Muslims in Pakistan. Too many Muslims do seem to go back to the Muslim lifestyle despite having had the chance to live a better style of life in western countries. I remember a young doctor out here in Australia who dashed off to join ISIS. I suspect Khan would say or do anything if it would let him stay at the top of the political scene in Pakistan. What a slimy piece of crap he is. He is certainly not trying to improve Pakistan and turn it into a slightly more civilised country, that’s for sure.
Infidel says
Tim
Excellent point. As you point out, he could have used his experience in England and Australia to transform Pakistan into a western, if muslim, society. Instead, ever since he entered politics, he’s spent every day undoing the image that he had in the 80s.
Instead, he’s become an object of universal ridicule, even among those who used to be his fans. He sometimes makes even Biden look pretty intelligent, which is saying something
What a wasted opportunity!
tim gallagher says
Yes, Infidel, Khan could have at least tried to improve Pakistan a bit. I doubt whether that appallingly backward country could be transformed a great deal, but he could have at least edged it in the right direction, and modernised it a bit. I suspect that anyone who tried to really transform the country would be assassinated. I think that happened to Benazir Bhutto, from memory, although I’m not sure why they bumped her off. Pakistan seems to be a disastrous country. I do hope that Khan is considered an object of universal ridicule. I feel that he deserves that fate.
gravenimage says
So true, Tim.
mortimer says
Reply to Infidel: When he was in England, it is obvious Khan put on a good act. However, he was always a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Khan is a supremacist, a religious bigto, an anti-Semite and a misogynist.
Westman says
When it comes to grooming gangs, Pakistani men appear statistically to be those most lacking in the , “willpower”, to resist and act honorably.
Why is that, Mr. Khan? Should we assume that women are the most closeted in Pakistan which means, of course, that they are simply personal posessions? Your message to the world is, “Cover and lock up your women or Pakistanis will steal them”? Your message seems to imply that Pakistani men are libidinous thieves. This is not a re-election enhancer.
Wellington says
Pakistan, Westman, is arguably the worst excuse for a nation on the planet, though I concede there are several other “worthy” contenders (e.g., North Korea). Of course I know that none of this will come as a surprise to you because you are, let’s see here, rational, informed and intelligent—a trinity of virtues very scarce in a polity like Pakistan, including its own Prime Minister (and what a joke he is).
Imagine if all nations of the world were like Pakistan. OMG! What a nightmare.
I rest my case except with the additional comment that Pakistan should be treated risibly regularly since mocking stupidity and malevolence is the next best thing to crushing stupidity and malevolence.
mortimer says
Agree with Wellington that Pakistan is among the worst, but Afghastlistan is surely even worse than Pornistan … the country that is the world champion in the use of porn.
Afghastlistan’s people are 99% in favor of discriminatory Sharia.

Look to your *home* first of all: Your book of filth from which you get your ideas about what is this or that, is chock-full of obscenities.
definition: “lewd, filthy, or disgusting words”;
from Britannica “Obscenity, legal concept used to characterize certain (particularly sexual) material as offensive to the public sense of decency.
From Merriam Webster: “Definition of obscenity · the quality or state of being obscene · obscene words or actions · an offensive word”
Those raised to view the female as only useful for satisfying their lusts or preparing food, or being there to beat when the desire arises, don’t **need** to see the female body in order to want to engage in those things or to think about engaging in those things.. it’s enough that these creeps have been taught that they are entitled to do as they please, when they please, where they please with whomever they please.
In the past, there have been communities of people who have worn little or no clothing and the violence against the women and children has been minimal.
There is a saying, “It’s the clothing that makes the man.” When it comes to mozlums and what women wear, it most certainly isn’t clothing that makes the man.
Walter Sieruk says
That Prime Minister of Pakistan is playing the old and terrible “Blame the victim card.” Shame on him .
For real men take responsibly foe their actions ,,so they don’t behave in such rash vile criminal behavior.
Islam is a religion of terribly vicious misogyny.
Walter Sieruk says
The sad and tragic reality is the words of that PM of Pakistan does reveal the typical male Muslim mindset . That is awful.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan blames women wearing ‘small clothes’ for sexual violence
……………………..
Muslims always blame the victim. And note that Purdah is not just covering up, but not being out in public to begin with. In other words, Muslims often rape whatever women they can get hold of.
And yes–Islam itself teaches the rape of women if the do not cover.
More:
Khan made similar comments about women encouraging sex assaults by how they dress, “stating that sexual violence was a product of ‘obscenity,’ which he described as a Western import.”
……………………..
Funny, then, that men in the civilized west seldom act like this–and the few who do are not just criminalized, but condemned by society.
And note that women not wearing Burqas–or just staying off the streets altogether–is “obscenity”, but Muslims raping women in the streets is just fine. Muslim “morality”.

Khan is now saying that Muslim men are not just driven to rape by women who are not immured in Burqas, but by *children* as well. Islam is the *only* major faith that teaches pedophilia.
And kudos to joutnalist Jonathan Swan for asking tough questions. He has done this before in his interview with Khan.
Trevor Loughlin says
Imran Khan is a cynical political opportunist playing to the lowest common denominator, These days this is quite common, but the problem with being a populist in Pakistan is that the lowest common denominator is not a few loud-mouthed rednecks, but a large number of lethally violent inbred sexual predators. And of course, if you are running an ideocracy you probably need to pay tribute to the idiots to stay alive. It is quite clear that the end of British imperial rule was a big mistake. I am addicted to Harris Sultan’s “House of Sin” YouTube channel, as a Pakistani ex-Muslim he is also disappointed with Imran Khan. I am white British but have become fascinated by Pakistan. It is like watching a slow motion train wreck.
Roland says
Imran Khan is not only a cynical opportunist; he is desperate to keep Pakistan stitched together. Islam is the only common denominater.
OLD GUY says
In islamic countries women are the VICTIMS of rape, forced marriages, violence and honor killings. So Muslims males raping girls and women is caused by the clothing they ware. I guess that means that muslim men have no morals or honor them selves.
Walter Sieruk says
The sad and tragic reality is the words of that PM of Pakistan does reveal the typical male Muslim mind-set . This anti- female spirit Islamic is awful… So awful that a scholar on Islam who used to live in the Middle Eastern nation of Lebanon had revealed that “Woman in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
