This is why we don’t see more genuine Islamic reform, or sincere and trustworthy reformers. Those who actually stand against Islamic orthodoxy, or who are perceived as doing so, are putting their lives in danger.
“Pakistan arrests radical Islamist leader for placing bounty on chief justice,” by Ayaz Gul, Voice of America, July 29, 2024:
ISLAMABAD — Police in central Pakistan on Monday arrested a leader of a far-right Islamist party on charges of ordering the assassination of the country’s top judge over his alleged support for minority Ahmadis.
Zaheerul Hassan Shah, deputy chief of Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan, or TLP, was taken into custody under the anti-terrorism law in Punjab, the country’s most populous province, according to an official police complaint.
The arrest came a day after Shah was seen in a viral video on social media announcing to a crowd of TLP supporters that he would personally give 10 million rupees ($36,000) to anyone who beheads Supreme Court Chief Justice Qazi Faez Esa.
The radical leader delivered the speech in the provincial capital of Lahore, accusing the 65-year-old top judge of “desecrating the law of the country.”
The rally was one of a series of public gatherings organized by TLP in recent days in parts of Pakistan to condemn Esa for granting bail to a member of the minority Ahmadi community, who was accused of posting material against Islam on social media.
Hours before Shah’s arrest, the federal defense minister told reporters in the national capital, Islamabad, that the government would sternly deal with those making false allegations against the chief justice and issuing death threats in the name of the Islamic religion.
“No group can incite violence in the name of faith or politics. We will use the full force of the law to bring them to justice,” Khawaja Asif said. “The state will not allow you to issue a fatwa [decree] to kill someone,” he added….

When fatwas are issued against Westerners the West will blame itself. In this Eurabian state of quasi-Dhimmitude the EU, Canada, and Australia have no means of detecting silent control by Jihadis because infiltration is protected by the bribed and secretly threatened politicians. In America the White House already has Islamic handlers and only a renegade will be able to break the Protocols of Eurabia. It must come from the Pro-American hordes of The Right supporting a Pro-American President with full force. Kammie and Old Slow Joe will secretly continue to take their orders from Dearborn and numerous NGOs whose orders come from The Middle East. While Westerners watch the Olympics at the discretion of the Eurabian Caliphate, Kammie has as puppet-masters Jihadists in full control of The White House. Meanwhile Western women advocate unwittingly their own eradication as free moral agents over reproductive rights they already have. Pro-Christian, Pro-Western, and Pro-Israel worldviews are being criminalized as all Western Judeo-Christian symbols are desecrated with full immunity. If our present state of self-negation is not the Wrath of God in the Biblical sense what is?
