The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. The objective of this conflation is to silence that analysis by falsely claiming that it leads to or causes those attacks. […]
Pakistan: Six-year-old child brutally beaten for tearing a page containing Qur’anic text from his schoolbook
The book is more important than the human being, as the human being is an unbeliever, “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). “Two Blasphemy Incidents Shake Lahore and Khanewal on a Single Day: Innocence and Accusations,” British Asian Christian Association, September 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): In a nation where […]
Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Police tell Christian churches to ‘hire private guards, we cannot protect you’
Many of the police share the faith and outlook of the attackers, and are more sympathetic to them than they are to the victims of these attacks. “Pakistan, Police to Christian Churches: ‘Hire Private Guards, We Cannot Protect You,’” by Massimo Introvigne, Bitter Winter, September 15, 2023: August was one of the worst months in […]
Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Sunni Muslims demolish minarets on three Ahmadi mosques
It’s extremely curious: while this is going on, U.S. Ahmadi spokesmen including Qasim Rashid, Harris Zafar and Kashif Chaudry carry water for the same forces that persecute them in Pakistan, and defame and smear those who speak out against the persecution of the Ahmadis in Pakistan. “In Another Attack On Ahmadis, Radical Islamists Demolish Minarets […]
Pakistan: Leading Shi’ite cleric arrested based on new blasphemy law
The new law “punishes those who disrespect ‘the Prophet’s wives, family, close companions, and the Righteous Caliphs.’” That would be the Shi’ites, some of whom disrespect Aisha, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, because they opposed the Shi’ites’ hero, Ali ibn Abi Talib. “Here We Are: Leading Shiite Cleric Arrested in Pakistan Based on New Blasphemy […]
Pakistan: Shia cleric vows to break the jaws of those who insult the Twelfth Imam
According to Islamic tradition, the dispute between the majority Sunnis and the Shiat Ali (Party of Ali) began upon the death of Muhammad in 632, although it had its roots in incidents from even before that.

Pakistan: Christian couple arrested after being accused of desecrating the Qur’an
This story, like so many other accusations of blasphemy in Pakistan, doesn’t ring true. Why would Christians in Pakistan have bag full of Qur’an pages and throw them around?

Pakistan: Police admit Muslim mob attacks on churches and Christian homes committed because of a false accusation
This was clear from the beginning, as the allegedly desecrated pages of the Qur’an were reportedly signed with the accused’s name and address. The desecration claims were just a pretext for plunder and terror. “Mob attacks on Christian churches, homes in Pakistan set off by false accusation, police say,” Associated Press, September 10, 2023: MULTAN, […]
Netherlands sentences Muslim to prison for calling for Wilders’ murder, but has no extradition treaty with Pakistan
A purely symbolic move, and one that is against the spirit of the age. Denmark has already folded and submitted to Sharia blasphemy law. Sweden will soon follow. The turn of the Netherlands will come in due time. “Twelve years in prison for attempting to provoke the murder of Geert Wilders,” translated from “Twaalf jaar […]
UK: Muslim father urged to flee country to avoid being ‘mistreated for being Muslim’ after killing his daughter
Last month, Jihad Watch covered the tragic murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif. She was murdered by her own family members. Honor murder is justified in Islamic law: “Retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers […]
