New in PJ Media: The email came in Monday from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, the Pakistani government’s agency for regulating online communications. In thick legalese, it charged that my website Jihad Watch (the “Platform”) “is involved in dissemination of content against religion of Islam/Muslims, caricatures of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” as well as in “circulating false rumors/reports […]
Government of Pakistan charges Jihad Watch with blasphemy over Muhammad cartoon post
The post in question is here. It’s an announcement that that the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest that Pamela Geller and I organized in Garland Texas in May 2015 was sold out, and an excerpt from a Breitbart article about the event. Why has Pakistan been so slow on the uptake here? The post […]
Pakistan’s Failing Finance Minister: The Economy Is In Allah’s Hands
Oriental fatalism, of the kind we find in Islam, lets individuals off the hook. In Islam, Allah is all-seeing and all-knowing. We simply have to wait for him to sort things out for his people, the Believers. If we are good Muslims, he will reward us. But if we are bad Muslims in any way, […]
Pakistan: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ kill 32 at rival mosque, PM says killers ‘have nothing to do with Islam’
Some people will actually believe him, too, especially in the West, where non-Muslims are so very, very eager to be fooled. “Blast rips through police mosque in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 32,” by Haq Nawaz Khan, Washington Post, January 30, 2023: PESHAWAR, Pakistan — An explosion ripped through a mosque in a police compound […]
Pakistan: Muslims abduct, gang-rape married Hindu woman after she refuses to convert to Islam
She refused to convert, so she had to be humiliated and disgraced, for Allah commands Muslims to ensure that non-Muslims show “willing submission” to the Muslims and “feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29). “Pakistan shocker: Married Hindu woman abducted, gang-raped for 3 days for refusing to convert to Islam,” Times Now News, January 23, 2023: Karachi: A […]
Pakistan: Qur’an-burning in Sweden ‘hurts the religious sensitivities of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world’
Note that all the countries that are lamenting this act of alleged “hate and extremism” never say a word about Islamic jihad violence as “hate and extremism.” Their outrage over this is all in service of the longterm goal of intimidating the West into discarding the freedom of expression and adopting Sharia blasphemy restrictions. “‘Over […]
Pakistan: Muslims murder ‘filthy Christian,’ threaten to murder his family if they go to police
Here is yet another in an apparently endless string of news items that the Western establishment media will ignore because it doesn’t fit their Muslims-are-always-victims narrative. “Christian Guava farmer killed by Muslim gang for stopping fruit theft and destruction,” British Asian Christian Association, January 17, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Early in the […]
Pakistan: Muslims accuse illiterate Christian of blasphemy against Muhammad over social media post
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a recurring impetus for Muslim mob violence, and a pretext by which the lives of numerous Christians and other non-Muslims have been destroyed. Yet no one in the global “human rights community” appears to be in the least bit concerned. They are probably too busy hunting for the next instance of […]
UN calls on Islamic Republic of Pakistan to halt forced conversions, forced marriages and child marriages
The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. 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 Steve Centanni and […]
Pakistan: Islamic leader says government actively working to make the country a true Islamic and welfare state
You might have the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was a true Islamic state already, but there is always more fanaticism that can be embraced. And that will mean more Sharia enforcement and more jihad. “Govt actively working to make Pakistan true Islamic, welfare state: Fazl,” Radio Pakistan, January 15, 2023: Chairman Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana […]
