“We are not in favor of democracy, democracy is for Jews and Christians. They are intended to divide Muslims; we want the implementation of Sharia (law) and for that jihad is necessary.” So said Hakimullah Mehsud a few months ago. So now that a DHS adviser says that the U.S. is an “Islamic country,” will […]
Pakistan: Christian family faced with blasphemy and forced conversion threats
“There is no compulsion in religion,” says the Qur’an (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. After all, the institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Centanni […]
Sharia in action in Pakistan: Women stabbed for shopping while unaccompanied by men
“A woman may not leave the city without her husband or a member of her unmarriageable kin accompanying her, unless the journey is obligatory, like the hajj. It is unlawful for her to travel otherwise, and unlawful for her husband to allow her to.” — ‘Umdat al-Salik m10.3 “Vigilante violence: Women stabbed “˜for shopping,– by […]
Pakistan: Muslim group issues fatwa targeting journalists as “enemies of the mujahideen”
What a pity that these Islamic supremacists are angry. Clearly it is time for some more outreach. We could send them some of our “journalists” who are completely in the tank for jihad terror and Islamic supremacism: Christiane Amanpour, Niraj Warikoo, Bob Smietana, Kari Huus, etc. They would write a few puff pieces about the […]
“Don’t they know that the Koran orders us to slit the throat of whoever is disrespectful to Allah’s beloved prophet?”
This manhunt for the “blasphemer” stems from his quoting the Bible to refute misstatements about Christianity in a Muslim book. Thus this case highlights how simply professing Christianity places Christians in Pakistan in danger of being accused of “blasphemy” and murdered either by Allahu-akbaring Muslim mobs or by the Pakistani judiciary. This is a serious […]
Pakistan: Muslim husband forces wife to drink acid for giving birth to a girl
“He brought a bottle of acid and made his wife drink it with the help of his family members.” As I wrote in my piece for PJ Lifestyle this week, a religion that sanctions the beating of disobedient women in its holy book gives rise to a culture of violence in which women are brutalized […]
“The world needs to take cognizance of the genocide that is slowly taking place in Pakistan”
No one is concerned about this. They’re too busy worrying about “Islamophobia.” “Persecution of religious minorities in Pakistan,” from ANI, October 21 (thanks to Lookmann): New Delhi: At the time of partition, the vision of the creator of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was of a nation that would adopt secularism to accommodate its historically multi-religious […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: Burned Alive for $47
In PJ Lifestyle I discuss a recent manifestation of the fact that women are not highly valued in the Islamic world. Eid al-Adha, the Muslim feast commemorating Abraham’s sacrifice of his son Ishmael, was Tuesday. Muslims frequently give special gifts (eidi) to those they love on such festive days, but in Muhammad Aslam’s home in […]
Pakistan: Taliban leader says people fed up with “anti-Islam system of democracy,” Taliban will work to impose Sharia
Only greasy Islamophobes believe that Islam is incompatible with democracy. Who would have thought that Shahidullah Shahid was a greasy Islamophobe? Ah, there you go again, Spencer, dodging the real question, which is that you and Shahidullah Shahid are both “extremists,” and you’re validating his “extremist” view of Islam and canonizing it as the only […]
Pakistan: Nine-year-old girl sold in marriage to 35-year-old man
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88). Do the human rights of this girl matter? Or would caring about her be “Islamophobic”? […]
