He was accused of blasphemy for faking the burned Qur’an pages that he used to accuse the Christian girl — falsely — of blasphemy. But in his own trial the prosecution case broke down as all, not some but all, of the witnesses withdrew their accusations. Could they have been pressured in some way? I […]
Pakistan’s wine shops in fear of Sharia enforcers, ask customers “to park their cars at a distance in case any vehicle is laden with explosives”
Don’t try this in Pakistan “O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone altars and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (Qur’an 5:90) But not the work of Satan would be blowing up those who sell those intoxicants. “Business under fire: Wine […]
Pakistan: Sunni Muslims toss grenades into Ismaili Shia mosques, killing two people and wounding 30
The AP headline is “Hand grenade attacks kill 2, wound 30 in Pakistan.” As if these hand grenades just decided to pick themselves up and attack these Ismailis of their own volition. To have identified who picked them up and threw them would have been “Islamophobic.” “Hand grenade attacks kill 2, wound 30 in Pakistan,” […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder nine as they were leaving prayers for Eid el-Fitr
But remember: to examine the murderous ideology that inspires such attacks would be “Islamophobic.” “Nine killed in attack on mosque,” from AFP, August 9: Pakistan’s troubled south-western city of Quetta, focus of a surge in sectarian bloodshed, was hit by its second attack in two days as gunmen shot dead at least nine people outside […]

Anti-Semitism in a country with no Jews: Pakistani pol Imran Khan sues Muslim cleric for calling him “Jewish agent”
The Jews, whom the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), generally serve as all-purpose bogeymen in the Islamic world, even in countries that have no connection to the Palestinian jihad against Israel. “Anti-Semitism In A Country With No Jews: Pakistan’s Imran Khan Sues Cleric For Calling Him “˜Jewish Agent,– by Palash […]
Pakistan: 1,000 Muslim clerics ask Zardari to “ensure his place in heaven” by pardoning killer of foe of blasphemy law

Major attack on Pakistani prison holding Taliban jihadis
Al Qaeda released 500 in Iraq last week. This could be 250 more. Note that the gunmen were wearing police uniforms — which means they were either police, which could well be since there is no effort made to keep jihadis out of such groups, or were just deceiving their targets.

Recently Islamic supremacists in the U.S. who have strenuously denied having Muslim Brotherhood ties, including Hamas-linked CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush, Hamas-linked ISNA’s former president Ingrid Mattson and DHS official Mohamed Elibiary, have tweeted out strong support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They make pro-forma […]
Pakistan may seek trade of doctor who helped U.S. find bin Laden for imprisoned al-Qaeda operative
Pakistan yet again shows which side it is on. That Pakistani authorities imprisoned Afridi in the first place is bad enough. To seek to exchange him for a woman who tried to murder American soldiers is even worse — for there is little doubt that Aafia Siddiqui would go free as soon as she was […]
