The Times says that the Taliban “accuses the United States of using a drive to eradicate polio in the country as a cover for spying,” but that isn’t the only reason why they’re murdering polio workers. A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And such “extremist” clerics are not just in […]
Pakistan: Muslims enraged, protest Hindu burial in “Muslim graveyard”
Imagine the international outcry if this were Hindus protesting about a Muslim buried in a Hindu graveyard. But no one will take particular notice of this: the guardians of opinion cry “Islamophobia” at any perceived slight to Muslims, while paternalistically expecting less from them than they would from any other group.

Pakistan: Sunni jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders three outside Shi’ite mosque
This is the second attack on a mosque in Pakistan in two days. No one will take much notice, because the attackers were Muslims. If non-Muslims had attacked two mosques in Pakistan, the “human rights community” would be in an uproar, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation would be thundering about global “Islamophobia,” and the UN […]

Pakistan: 72-year-old Ahmadi doctor from UK arrested for reading Qur’an, charged with “posing as a Muslim”
Dr. Masood, Muslim impersonator Yet in the West, Ahmadi spokesmen like the oleaginous Harris Zafar and the arrogant Qasim Rashid carry water for the same Islamic supremacists who would cheerfully destroy their homes and places of worship and charge them with blasphemy if they were in Pakistan. Instead, Zafar and Rashid target those who stand […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihadists attack polio vaccine team, murdering one polio worker and two police officers
Note yet again the passive voice in the headline.
