Pakistan recently saw Muslims set fire to a total of 21 churches and 40 Christian homes on false accusations of Qur’an desecration by two Christian men. Six Christians were also murdered. A cleric stated: “Better to die if you don’t care about Islam.” The Pakistani government encourages the ongoing mob attacks against Christians, while doing all it can to create a false impression internationally that it isn’t the abusive, Islamic supremacist country that it is. Right before the massive anti-Christian rampage last month, Pakistan increased its already harsh punishments for blasphemy, which served to further endorse the persecution of Christians, the main targets of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
Christians in Pakistan risk being subjected to mob violence at any time. If a Christian has a dispute with a malicious Muslim neighbor, that neighbor may accuse the Christian of blasphemy, and the Christian’s life is immediately in danger, along with the lives of the whole family and community. This also means that the family can no longer live in peace in their village.
Now, in a slap in the face to already suffering Christians, Pakistan’s Army General Sayed Asim Munir declares that “Islam is a religion of peace and there is no space for intolerance and extremism in Islam and society.” Munir’s insult to the intelligence of Christians is repugnant, but Christians in that country have no choice but to simply accept his lies in the face of brutal persecution.
Islamic supremacists employ taqiyya (dissimulation) whenever needed to advance their jihad against infidels. Despite how obvious this is, Westerners capitulate to avoid being labelled Islamophobic.” In the process, they turn a blind eye to the human rights abuses and persecution of minorities in Islamic states. Sharia-adherent Muslims are only tolerant to those who bow to the Sharia, which means they are not tolerant at all. All across the globe, it can be seen that infidels are either murdered, brutalized in any number of ways, threatened, or smeared for what is deemed to be “hurtful” to Muslims or regarded as “blasphemous.”
“No space for intolerance and extremism in Islam and society: Pak Army chief Gen Munir,” Deccan Herald, September 25, 2023:
Pakistan’s powerful Army chief General Asim Munir said on Monday that there is no space for intolerance and extremism in Islam and society as he met members of the minority Christian community and lauded their services for the welfare and defence of the country.
His comments assume significance in the backdrop of the ‘Jaranwala incident’ where a mob vandalised 22 churches and set scores of Christian houses on fire over allegations of blasphemy. There were no casualties but it was one of the most destructive attacks on Christians in the Muslim-majority country.
“Islam is a religion of peace and there is no space for intolerance and extremism in Islam and society. No one can be allowed to take law in his own hands in a civilised society,” Gen Munir said during an interaction with a 14-member Christian community delegation led by Dr Azad Marshall — Moderator and President Bishops (Church of Pakistan and Bishop of Raiwind) at General Headquarters, Rawalpindi.
The army said in a statement that during the meeting matters of mutual interest, religious and inter-faith harmony were discussed.
Gen Munir ‘lauded the contributions of the Pakistani Christian Community in national development, including promotion of quality education, healthcare and philanthropic services and the outstanding role played by them for the defence of the motherland.’
He also expressed deep respect for Christian community and stressed upon the need for promoting greater interfaith harmony in society in order to follow Pakistan’s founder M A Jinnah’s true vision of a united and progressive Pakistan.
The delegation acknowledged Pakistan Army’s efforts in combating terrorism and providing a secure environment to the minorities in the country, and appreciated the Army chief’s gesture as an inspiration for Pakistani minorities to take greater and more active part in nation building and in restoring their faith in a cohesive and tolerant society, according to the statement.
Authorities have so far restored nine churches out of 22 burnt down by the violent mob over blasphemy allegations…..

Lies, damn Lies and Pakistanis! They must have gotten money from the Christian countries and or Christian organizations. I would even go so far as to say they did this so they could get money. This tolerant religion has been killing people worldwide and has been responsible for San Bernardino, if An interior county like San Bernardino, CA has seen terror caused by a Pakistani terrorist, no place in the world is safe. All in the name of having sex with virgins!
SB1234 says
Why is the army chief making statements anyway? Is Pakistan in a war with neighboring countries, then why is he speaking. his purpose is not to explain the social norms but to keep PAOK is tan safe. Oh I forgot, no Pakistani PM has completed a full term in the 76 year history of the country. It is a military state, he is doing this before his interim PM goes begging for money!
