Twitter is already a fairly inhospitable place for opponents of jihad. I know several whose accounts have been suspended solely for expressing, in civil terms, their distaste for jihad terror and Islamic supremacism, while there are several stalkers devoted full-time to defaming freedom fighters and even accusing them outright of having committed crimes, and despite […]
Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology endorses child marriage
Islamic apologists in the West routinely claim that Muhammad did not marry a child and that child marriage is not permitted in Islam, but actually, few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and […]
5,000 Hindus flee Pakistan every year due to Muslim persecution
The mainstream media and the international human rights community pays little attention to this. They would only be interested if the roles were reversed. Then it would be the subject of daily headlines about the “genocide” against Muslims. “‘5,000 Hindus flee Pak every year due to persecution,’” by Omer Farooq Khan, TNN, May 14, 2014 […]
Pakistan: In police station, Muslim teen murders Ahmadi accused of blasphemy
All too often in Pakistan, those who are accused of blasphemy are murdered by vigilantes or lynched by rabid mobs before they can even be tried, or after they’re acquitted. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a human rights abuse of monstrous proportions, but to denounce them would be “Islamophobic,” and so the international human rights community […]
Pakistan: Muslim blasphemers pardoned; Christian blasphemers put to death
This double standard is not surprising. After all, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another and harsh to disbelievers” (48:29). Someone who believes that to be holy writ may indeed be more inclined to pardon a Muslim accused of blasphemy than a Christian accused […]
Pakistan: Massive protests against TV network for alleged blasphemy
Note carefully what Jamat-ud-Dawa’s chief Hafiz Saeed Ahmed says: “Geo News’ apology cannot be accepted as it is not in the hands of any cleric or government to forgive a blasphemous act….Geo is facing the wrath of Allah for its sins.” Not “Geo will face the wrath of Allah for its sins,” but Geo “is […]
Pakistan: Jihadists threaten English schools; learning English “prohibited in Islam”
“They also told girls who were on their way home from the English Language Center and threatened them, saying they should not go to the schools again.” It would be refreshing, in light of this and the abduction of the girls in Nigeria, if a Muslim spokesman who has condemned the abductions would refute on […]
Pakistan: 68 lawyers accused of blasphemy for protesting against namesake of caliph Umar
This story is an excellent illustration of how absurd Pakistan’s blasphemy law really is: the lawyers aren’t accused of blasphemy for any actual blasphemy, but because they were protesting against a man named Umar, and someone passing by thought they were denouncing the caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s companions. It would be funny, were it […]
Pakistan: 12-year-old bride “was too afraid to talk to me as I often beat her to teach her manners”
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with […]
Pakistan shopkeeper gets life term for blasphemy: tore up banner bearing Muhammad’s name and Qur’an verses
What? He got life in prison and not the death penalty? The local court must have been made up of moderates. He was, however, already beaten by one angry mob, and could eventually be killed by another. But not to worry: no doubt Jay Leno will hear about this and include a word for Malik […]
