What Sirajul Haq said here could actually approach some truth: the Muhammad cartoons and the West’s freedom of speech could actually lead to an escalating global conflict, if Muslims continue to riot and kill in reaction to them. But it is much more likely at this point that the whole situation will be pacified by […]
Chechnya: 800,000 Muslims protest Muhammad cartoons; protests also in Iran, Pakistan, Ingushetia, elsewhere
They’re not protesting against the murder of twelve cartoonists for the crime of drawing Muhammad. They’re protesting against the cartoons. And these protests are growing worldwide. If the mainstream narrative about Islam were true, we would at least see some Muslim demonstrations somewhere against the murder of the cartoonists. There have been none. But the […]
Pakistan: 10,000 Muslims protest against Charlie Hebdo’s Muhammad cartoons
Where are 10,000 Muslims protesting against murdering people for drawing cartoons of Muhammad? Where are 10,000 Muslims protesting against the jihad terror that is supposedly (according to the government and media elites) a twisting and hijacking of Islam? Where are 10,000 Muslims protesting against the genocidal and anti-Semitic declarations on Hamas TV? “Anti-Charlie Hebdo protests […]
Pakistan: Anti-Charlie Hebdo protesters fire on police, 3 injured
The freedom of speech under violent assault. But this would never happen in the free West. Here they’ll just mock you as a bigot and shut down your website with DDoS attacks. But in both Pakistan and the U.S., the motive and goal is the same. “Clashes at Charlie Hebdo protest in Karachi, three injured,” […]
Pakistan: Muslims demand murder of Charlie Hebdo staff for committing “worst act of terrorism” by drawing Muhammad
This is one side of the assault on the freedom of speech, which is the foundation of a free society. The other side are the cool, measured calls from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for the criminalization of “incitement to religious hatred” and the like. The goal is the same for both initiatives: to intimidate […]
Pakistan: Muslim cleric holds rally praising Charlie Hebdo jihadis
“Aslam had also said that Pakistan’s stance over blasphemous cartoons is very clear. While strongly condemning the attack, she added that Pakistan in the past had moved a resolution in the United Nations and the world needs to get out of Islamophobia.” In other words, ban criticism of Islam and jihad, and all will be […]
Pakistan: Candlelight vigil for murdered foe of blasphemy laws attacked
Mumtaz Qadri, the murderer of Salman Taseer, is a hero; there is a popular mosque named after him. So this is no surprise. “Salman Taseer’s commemoration attacked in Lahore,” Dawn, January 4, 2015: LAHORE: Unidentified miscreants attacked a candlelight vigil organised to mark death anniversary of former Punjab governor Salman Taseer who was murdered by […]
Punjab chief: Pakistan can solve terror problem by imitating Muhammad
Uswa-e-Hasna is excellent example or pattern: “There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often.” (Qur’an 33:21) The idea is that Muhammad is the excellent example of behavior for Muslims; if someone imitates him, he […]
Pakistan’s answer to terrorism: show only good news at bedtime
It’s much the same in the Western media. The news must be happy, at least when it comes to the global jihad and Islam. Jihad activity is downplayed, ignored, denied, or ascribed to “militants” or “youths,” while the media focus is on “backlash” against innocent Muslims. Those who call attention to the nature and magnitude […]
Pakistani officials enraged over “Homeland” portrayal of their country as “ugly, ignorant, terror-plagued ‘hellhole'”
“‘Repeated insinuations that an intelligence agency of Pakistan is complicit in protecting the terrorists at the expense of innocent Pakistani civilians is not only absurd but also an insult to the ultimate sacrifices of the thousands of Pakistani security personnel in the war against terrorism,’ a source said.” If the shoe fits: Pakistan’s ISI spy […]
