Dennis Albert, a Pakistani Christian, has been charged with “blasphemy” because he happened to step on a few pages lying on the ground that turned out to have come from a Qur’an. His attorney, Asad Jamal, has defended others who were similarly accused. More on this can be found here: “Christian in Pakistan Jailed for Stepping on Papers in Street,” Morning Star News, June 18, 2024:
Jamal co-authored a fact-finding mission report of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) into the lynching of 74-year-old Nazeer Masih Gill in Sargodha on May 25.
Nazeer Masih Gill was attacked by a Muslim mob, and beaten to death, all because of a mere rumor that he had set fire to pages of the Qur’an. Does such an act seem likely? You know the answer to that.
Jamal, a Muslim, has defended several blasphemy suspects, including Junaid Hafeez, a former Fullbright scholar at Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan who was sentenced to death on Dec. 21, 2019, after students accused him of insulting the Prophet Muhammad on social media in 2013.
Imran Albert said he has sent his family to Karachi to keep them from potential Islamist retaliation, and that he has lived with other relatives since his brother’s arrest.
“We live in the Qurban Lines area where two Christian boys were arrested and charged with blasphemy last year for allegedly insulting the prophet of Islam,” he said. “There was a lot of tension in our locality when the two were arrested, so I felt it would be safer not to stay in our rented house there. Though we have been very discreet about Dennis’s arrest, and very few people know about the case, I feel it’s best to find a new abode.”
In other words, Dennis Albert’s brother Imran is moving his family away — “to find a new abode”— in far-off Karachi, because of his fear that he, and his family, could also suffer a Muslim mob’s retribution for his brother’s claimed act of blasphemy. The hysteria of maddened Muslims knows few limits.
Adil Masih, 18, and 14-year-old Simon Nadeem Masih, were arrested and charged under Section 295-C of the blasphemy statutes on May 18, 2023, when Muslim policeman Zahid Sohail accused them of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad.
The two Christians were engaged in light-hearted banter when Sohail attacked them, alleging that they were disrespecting Muhammad and then laughing over it. Section 295-C carries a mandatory death sentence for insulting the Muslim prophet….
Again we must ask: how likely is it that in the presence of a Muslim policeman, these two young Christians were “disrespecting” Muhammad — what might they have said? — and what’s more, “laughing over it”? It is much more likely that this policeman, consumed by a fanatical hatred of Christians, decided to fabricate the charge — “insulting the Muslim prophet” — a charge that, he was well aware, carried a mandatory death sentence.
What a constant nightmare it must be for Christians living in the Muslim hellhole of Pakistan! A place where at any moment, some malignant Muslim may accuse you of blasphemy on the flimsiest, or even nonexistence, of evidence, and based on a mere rumor, you may be beaten to death by a Muslim mob, or whisked off to jail, perhaps to be sentenced to life imprisonment for happening to step on some illegible pages on the pavement that turn to have been torn from a Qur’an. Yet no students in the Western world have ever gathered on campuses, or in street demonstrations, to protest this deadly persecution of Pakistani Christians by Pakistani Muslims. The protesters shouting “from the river to the sea” and “ Intifada Now” only have time, it seems, to protest the putative sins — “apartheid,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “genocide” — of the tiny Jewish state, that the shouters insist has no right to exist and, if justice is to be served, must disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. What explains this fixation on, and hideous nonstop calumniation of, tiny Israel, as it fights for its very survival, and the complete indifference shown to the ongoing Arab massacres of blacks in the Sudan, to the Muslims tormenting Christians in Pakistan, to the hundreds of thousands of black slaves of Arab masters in Mauritania, Mali, and Niger? Could it be anything other than antisemitism?

If a person is fully aware that his life and the lives of all whom he loves will be in danger, he is not likely to do something that has absolutely no benefit.
Criminals have *reasons* for breaking the laws….they want money, drugs, to take out a rival, etc.. Criminals are willing to take risks because they see some benefit, knowing that if they are not caught, the risk to them was worth it.
Christians in pakistan know that if they step out of line in any way that a mozlum might take offense, their life is at risk, as well as the lives of their family members.
It is really looking at the impossible to think that these Christians did what the charges claim. Each one would have to be mentally ill to have torn the book of filth, deliberately stepped on the pages from the book of filth, said some Truth about the fake prophet, or any other thing with which they have been accused or beaten to death.
If someone on foot is finding it necessary to walk along a canal filled with hungry alligators, they will walk as far from the edge as possible. Only a fool would knowingly put his foot in the water. But the gators will come up out of the water to bite the person who happens to need to walk by. And the gator will kill if it is able.
Philip says
You are correct, and I like your analogy of walking along an alligator-filled canal. I got a free quran (I refuse to pay for it) and the author said “..we do not read these books in the bathroom or place them on the floor.” I’ve already done both. islam is a made-up “religion” and it’s so called holy book means nothing to me. I simply have it so that I can understand and argue against the destructive cult of islam.
No doubt those who know they will be hurt and killed by “harming” the so-called holy quran wouldn’t dare do it – muslims look for any chance to show they are not the adherents of peace, but rather the comrades of evil.
somehistory says
thank you very much, Philip. And your full comment is accurage, as well. If they can’t find a chance, they’ll manufacture one.
SC says
Sorry folks but why would christians even stay in that sh!thole. Those barbarians do not deserve help from christians. They need to be left to their own devices to end up as their own god decrees. Get out while you can before they kill you all. The world is rapidly heading into an islam vs everyone else conflict. Pakistan and India will probably be the first to nuke each other. Before the rest of us join in.
somehistory says
Most Christians, like Jesus was when on earth, are poor. In pakistan, Christians have the lowest paying jobs. It’s really difficult to move when money is short, and to leave the country, takes even more funds.
About the only close place to pakistan where Christians might have some freedom, is India. Even in that nation, Christians are having a bad time of it.
Christians in pakistan are surrounded by nations which are mozlum-ruled, or China where they are also being persecuted and imprisoned.
There aren’t any easy answers. with no place to go and no money to get there.

Only non Muslims in Pakistan can work in the sewers.

And that’s true of other jobs. The hard, dirty, back-breaking, low-paid work mozlums refuse to do.
dumbledoresarmy says
That ‘constant nightmare’ of life in Islamic Pakistan.. is a glimpse of what it was like to be a dhimmi in ALL Muslim-ruled countries, everywhere. Mr Fitzgerald himself has described dhimmitude as a condition of ‘humiliation, degradation, and constant physical peril’. Whether you were a HIndu in Muslim-occupied India, or a Christian or a Jew in Muslim-occupied Egypt or Persia or anywhere else across an enormous swath of territory, that was your lot. The so-called ‘protection’ you bought by paying the punitive jizya ‘protection money’, could at ANY moment evaporate; any one of you would be accused, by some vicious mohammmedan, of having ‘breached the dhimma’ by having done this or that and then the howling mob would descend upon your entire community, burning, raping, pillaging, torture-murdering. A nightmare. Century after century.
And the kicker is this: even if, ground down, crushed by the enormous pressure of mohammedan institutionalised evil bullying, you gave up and became a Muslim, joining the ‘bully mob’… you could STILL find yourself falsely accused of having infringed against sharia, by some other “more Islamic than thou” fellow Muslim.. or merely a fellow Muslim who decides they don’t like you, and fabricates a charge of ‘blasphemy’ or (if you are female) ‘immorality’ in order to unloose the screaming mob to kill you. The prospect of being ‘honour’ murdered – by her husband, her son, her brothers, male cousins or just any random male – hangs permanently over the head of every Muslim female; and again, no matter how careful she is to be totally submissive, totally sharia-compliant, that doesn’t mean she is ‘safe’, she can still be sentenced to death in the sovereign court of village gossip and end up publicly stoned by a shrieking mob.
And meanwhile… all along the borders of the seething hell-pit that is Islamia, its murderous raping robbing raiders attack, attack, attack… endless raids as awful as the raids carried out on Jewish villagers and farmers on 7th October 2023. Raids exactly like that are decimating non-Muslim communities in a wide swath across Africa right now; raids like that were what wore down Byzantium and (carried out by attacks from the sea) virtually depopulated a huge swath of the northern shore of the Mediterranean. Raids like that attacked coastal villages as far away as Ireland, Iceland, and Cornwall, as late as the 17th and 18th centuries.
Delenda est Islamia.

Rick Smith says
Great post and sums up Islam really well DA.
tim gallagher says
In any country where hate-filled and totally intolerant islam has gained power, all non-Muslims are treated like shit and yet we go on treating Muslims very well when they invade our non-Muslim countries. They do not deserve to be treated well for all the suffering and slaughter that islam has inflicted on non-Muslims for 1400 miserable years that islam has been poisoning the human race and they should not be allowed to live in any non-Muslim countries. Give them their own treatment back, shut them out and treat them like shit.It is what islam and its followers deserve. One day the non-Muslim world will finally wake up to this truth. Morally, islam is on the same level as nazism and should be treated the same way.
Rick Smith says
Totally agree, but there’s an easy solution instead of putting ourselves in direct battle with Muslims.
Just ban Islam, shut down mosques and start deportations until they’re gone.
Or else use the Geert Wilders plan…let them live here, but if they step out of line, call for Sharia and Jihad, then they’re the deported the same day.
But we must also talk about the real silent killer of Islam, demographics. We should impose a strict 1 wife, 2 child max rule on them, or deport. This is how they always win in the end.
We can be very good at eliminating their terrorists and radicals, but they’ll keep growing like a bacteria population, doubling size every generation.
So we also have to stop all Muslim immigration…if they invite their familys, cousins, their village, etc…send them all back.
These are all good ideas for dealing with Islam but we’re just shouting in the wind if nobody in power implements draconian measures to clamp down on their vile, disgusting death cult and their population.
Islam poisons thier lives as much as ours…it’s the Covid that we refuse to talk about…but ultimately the global community should unite and defeat this desert death cult.
I’m also concerned by other religions persecuting minorities, like Christians in India by the Hindus…it gives them a bad name…Hindus were supposed to be tolerant people…but in fairness this was happening in one state and apparently the real issue was over jobs and discrimination by religion.
Rick Smith says
excuse the silly typos.
tim gallagher says
I agree completely with all that you have written there, Rick. Anything that will keep this enemy of all civilised values, islam, out of non-Muslim countries is fine with me. As you say, we, the people who have woken up to the malignant nature of islam, are whistling in the wind. I can’t see most people, braindead when it comes to islam’s nature, waking up any time in the near future. As I said, in my comment up above, it annoys the hell out of me that islam, this stinking totally intolerant, evil load of shit, is treated so well by people in our western nations. Treat it like nazism, it is just as poisonous and evil. But, unfortunately, I don’t see enough people waking soon enough. Only the Hungarians and Poles and few others seem to be wide wake to islam’s evil nature. Why so many people are so slow to wake up is a mystery to me. So many people seem to be so gullible and so dumb when it comes to islam.
Rick Smith says
Thanks Tim and agreed also.
I think the answer is that most people don’t do their own research or are too lazy or busy to. So the demand on the news, social media to educate them.
Unfortunately there’s still so much misinformation out there, largely being pushed by Leftists and Muslims themselves who whitewash Islam and try to make it appear as benign as Buddhism or Christianity.
Ofc their aim is to soft-peddle this death cult until the Muslims become the majority and then it’ll be too late to oppose them because we’ll be outnumbered…as happened in Lebanon and many other nations throughout the world.
Additionally Muslims have been able to grasp the mantle of ‘victimhood’ early on…pretending to be a minority being persecuted by the big bad white majority…so naturally, Leftists being suckers and idiots, easily fell for that scam and assumed Muslims need their help and protection.
But as the Left always finds out too late, once the Muslims no longer need them, they’ll stab them in the back, literally.
At the same time however, I think Oct 7 was such a vicious, brutal massacre and, something rarely seen in modern times, that I believe it forced many people to pay attention and choose a side.
Polling also shifted right-ward in European countries (though it’s been happening for a while)…because more and more people are waking up to the threat of Islamofascism.
So I think the tide is turning….but it’s still a very slow and long process. It’d happen quicker if western elites educated themselves and they could fix this mess a lot more easily than ordinary folks can as they have all the state resources.
As I pointed out in my post below, I believe the next 10-20 years should prove pivotal and our battle with Islam will come to a head…either they will defeat us or we’ll defeat them, but that moment of reckoning is coming soon…the key is getting the critical mass of people to wake up, the rest will take care of itself once that happens.
I hope we take the Poland/Hungary model and just throw the Muslims out and keep them out and we can go back to enjoying our culture in peace and quiet.
Rick Smith says
*so they depend on the news…..
tim gallagher says
Spot on in what you say there, Rick. i am encouraged by the shift to the right in Europe because it seems that a lot more people in western Europe are finally waking up. I think you must be right about the sheer laziness or maybe being too busy with their lives to get on with doing a bit of research into islam. I recall that I was once totally ignorant about islam’s nature, close to 30 years ago, and i thought that there would be no problems with Muslims here in Australia. I was so ignorant and so wrong. What you say about Lebanon is interesting. That’s the way stinking, rotten to the core islam might win the war – just breeding like rabbits and, eventually, winning. What a disaster it would be. As you say, the Hungarian and Polish model is the way to go. Slam the door on islam. It is a load of hate-filled, evil shit and means nothing but misery for all of us non-Muslims. I would love to see all of us non-Muslims wake up and tell the Muslims that we have had it with their stinking ideology and we are never again going to tolerate it .They would have a stark choice. Ditch the load of filth that is islam or stay locked away in your shitty Muslim countries.
Mike says
Regarding the man who accidentally stepped on some discarded papers which turned out to be pages of the Qu’ran.
HEY, bigoted Islamists in Pakistan! THINK, for fig’s sake! Why don’t you blame some Muslim who probably threw those torn pages on the ground?
It’s not uncommon for Muslims themselves to discard old copies of the Qu’ran by tearing them up, throwing them in ditches or even burning them. And then, how is some unsuspecting Christian, Hindu, Sikh or even Muslim to know that a torn, faded piece of paper is from the Qu’ran?
It’s like when some Pakistani Islamists at a cafe were about to murder a woman for wearing a dress with innocuous Arabic calligraphy on it. You make yourselves look like poo-smelling, knuckle-dragging, despicably-ignorant MORONS.
Rick Smith says
They are a bunch of knuckle-dragging morons Mike, there is no reasoning with mad dogs…you have to “deal with them.”
Muslims should be given the same options they give us, convert (to any other religion) or else.
The trouble is that we still have a cowardly leadership in the West, nobody wants to fight against “1.5 billion Muslims.”
So they keep passing the problem onto the next generation and it just gets worse.
If I was US president I’d fix this problem overnight…but unfortunately we have idiots in power so we have to wait for them to smarten up.
Uma says
Good Morning,
First these people needs to realize the reasons for How and why those few pages were lying on the street ?
Regards

Rick Smith says
Let’s also not forget the utter lunacy of killing a human because they stepped on some trash on the street.
Leave it to the Muslims to behave like inhumane savages…this is why we invented nukes, exactly for crazies like them.
Rick Smith says
What more proof is there that Allah doesn’t exist than the fact that humans have to be the judge, jury, executioner of other humans.
You don’t even need a god then…just tell people if you step on these papers, if you do this or that we kill you….any excuse to beat, torture, hate and murder others.
Meanwhile we constantly beaten over the head to believe Muslims are innocent little lambs and we’re the evil racists and bigots who deserve to be killed. F Islam, F Muslims and F their non-Muslim supporters.
Rick Smith says
If I was Allah, I’d be extremely offended that not only Muslims think I’d be so petty as to punish people I created over some alleged insult against the “holy book” or that I’d care about something so useless and trivial and that I had nothing better to do with my existence.
But I’d also be angered that they chose to harm other humans over such nonsensical acts and do it on my behalf…how dare they make themselves gods over other humans.
Not to mention, what’s “holy” about claiming the sun sets in a mud-puddle, the Earth is flat, Pedo-Moh flew to space on a donkey and split the moon to show-off what a badass he apparently was.
All lies, all fiction, not holy, just stupid, insane garbage that should’ve died off in the Bronze age…but this filth is here today because it’s spread, maintained only by force and violence. If people had the freedom to leave this death cult, it’d have died off ages ago.
CalvinsLutheran says
The idiots of the West are so blinded by their Pollyanna based world views that they cannot conceive of exactly that sort of behavior is soon to come here to the West. Give or take 10 years or less. Biden is gleefully facilitating it. The rest of us are somnambulant.

Yes, Lutheran. I find myself wondering, almost daily, how long Europe has got before this kind of violence becomes a daily occurance here. Certainly within 20 years.
Gurek says
Better not to live in this evil world than to bow down to islam.
Rick Smith says
True Gurek…better to die on your feet than to live on your knees…esp. with an ideology so evil as Islam, which exists for nothing more than its own existence.
Islam-rather Muslims infected with the Islam mind-virus are ever-vigilant, constantly on the lookout for anyone who transgresses their insane rules and ideas so that they can unleash barbaric punishments on them, men, women, children and esp. the non-Muslims.
They do so without mercy, without a second thought, without logic or reason.
Islam is fascism in it’s most extreme form…no one is safe or immune from it except maybe the rich Muslims and those who have power.
I think Muslims are so used to their real slavery to this fascist death cult, they don’t even realize how toxic it is to themselves….the ones who do wake up, eventually have no choice but to escape the country or live as “hypocrites” and pretend to be Muslim just to stay alive.
I am glad to see that after decades since 9/11 (I consider that the West’s starting point-though Islam has been terrorizing the human race for 1400 years), that our leaders are finally starting to wake up…some of them have already figured it out…some of them are only noticing it, but at least it’s entering the mainstream.
I believe Oct 7 was a turning point for many but until the polls show that most non-Muslims in the West want Islam banned and Muslims deported, then there is still a lot more work to be done…but we’re getting there. Some European nations are electing anti-Islamic politicians like Geert Wilders, Marine Le Pen, AfD and hopefully the trend will continue.
The more the elites turn to the Right, the more they’ll talk about Islam. I’ll bet as a result, like that knife-attack recently in Germany, it’ll cause many more Muslims to panic (to terrorize non-Muslims to stay in line and prevent themselves from being deported) and then we’ll see even more terrorism…causing even more backlash…until we have a real ‘awakening’ and that’ll be the end for Islam in the West…fingers crossed.
I suspect if that keeps going then the real battle for the future btw the West and Islam will happen within the next 10-20 years. I also believe we won’t go down without a fight…so either Muslims will be quietly and peaceful deported or there will be all out civil war, but eventually our military and cops will crush their uprising and the rest of the Muslims will flee on their own.
