If someone is accused of blasphemy in Pakistan, all too often he or she is brutalized or killed before any trial is held. Or even if acquitted, as in this case, the accused person is targeted by a Muslim mob that enforces the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy by a vigilante action. This is a […]
Pakistan’s blasphemy law used to “kill innocent Christians without giving them a chance to prove their innocence”
Savan Masih was accused of blasphemy after a Muslim barber, who no doubt considered him an unclean Infidel (in accord with Qur’an 9:28), refused him a haircut, and they started to argue about religion. Following that, a 3,000-strong Muslim mob rampaged through a Christian area of Lahore. And no Savan Masih, if convicted, will be […]
“We are educating the students in the Quran, and in the Quran it is written that it is every Muslim’s obligation to wage jihad”
This New York Times story contains the revelation that the head of Pakistan’s spy service knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding, posted here yesterday. It is also important, however, to note that reporter Carlotta Gall also recounts her visit to one of the madrasa that the Taliban run. The deputy head of the madrasa […]
Chief of Pakistan’s spy service knew where bin Laden was hiding
It has been obvious for years that the Pakistanis have been aiding the same jihadists that the U.S. government has been giving them billions of dollars to fight. The New York Times reported on that at length back in 2008. And now we learn that Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the head of the ISI, the Pakistani […]
Pakistan: Muslim mob attacks Hindu temples and Sikh gurdwaras over alleged blasphemy
Note that the “blasphemy” is only a rumor, and Sikhs had nothing to do with it at all. Nonetheless, the enraged mob tried to burn down both Hindu and Sikh houses of worship. And none dare call it madness or savagery, although that is exactly what it is. None dare stand up and explain the […]
Pakistan: Three Hindus injured in acid attack for celebrating Holi
“Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu,” but this is extraordinarily unlikely. Holi is a Hindu feast during which people throw colored dyes upon one another. It’s a joyful, festive occasion, and while this may have been the work of some embittered Hindu, “the acid-throwing incident follows the burning of a Hindu […]
Pakistan: Enraged Muslim mob burns Hindu center over rumors of Qur’an desecration
“Some people said they saw burned pages of the Quran in a garbage bin near the home of a Hindu man.” That was all it took. It could have been planted (as a Muslim cleric planted burned Qur’an pages to frame a Christian girl for blasphemy in 2011), or the Hindu may have burned it […]
Pakistan: Woman who set herself on fire after reporting rape dies
The UK’s Daily Mail reported last year that “under UAE law, rapists can only be convicted if either the perpetrator confesses or if four adult Muslim males witness the crime.” This isn’t just Emirati law; it is pure Sharia, based on Qur’an 24:4 and 24:13. Those verses, in turn, are according to Islamic tradition, the result […]
Pakistan: Council of Islamic Ideology says laws prohibiting child marriage are un-Islamic
As I explained in detail here, 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. That being the case, how could the Council of Islamic Ideology issue any […]
Pakistan: Jihad terror leader thanks “brave man” who offered three sons for jihad
“US has offered a $10 million bounty on Saeed, who lives as a free man in Lahore.” That fact alone is enough to establish that Pakistan is not really an ally of the United States, and that all the billions of dollars of taxpayer money that Bush and Obama have given to the Pakistanis to […]
