Pakistan’s government won’t abolish blasphemy law because it “fears the reaction of extremists”
All over the world, the principle is being reinforced: terrorism works. To get what you want, threaten violence, and the “free world” will jump to comply with your wishes. And Archbishop Coutts’ brother bishops in the U.S. are pursuing an illusory and self-defeating “dialogue” even to the extent of silencing those voices that speak honestly […]
Jammu & Kashmir: Islamic State, Pakistan flags raised after Friday prayers
After Friday prayers, unrest ensues. No one, however, dares notice a pattern. “ISIS, Pak flags raised after Mirwaiz sermon in Srinagar,” The Tribune, June 12, 2015: Pakistani and ISIS (Islamic State) flags today appeared in downtown Srinagar following a Friday sermon by moderate separate leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in which he warned of an agitation […]
Pakistan: Muslim demand church give up its land or face blasphemy charge
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are the occasion of ongoing human rights abuses against Christians and others, but no one is particularly concerned. After all, it isn’t as if something really important and worthy of robust resistance action, such as “Islamophobia,” were being committed. “Muslims Demand Church Vacate or Face Blasphemy Charge,” Christian News Minute, June 12, […]
Pakistani publication worries Islam’s image tarnished by CAIR rep’s pedophilia arrest
It’s noteworthy that Aalia Suleman is more worried about Islam’s image than about the child victims of pedophilia that is sanctioned by Muhammad’s example, but that is par for the Islamic supremacist course. In reality, Islam’s image is and ought to be tarnished by this arrest, and it ought to become the starting-point for genuine […]
Pakistan Muslim scholars: Jihad groups have “nothing to do with Islam”
This is the same Pakistan Ulema Council that has endorsed jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings, so its understanding of what constitutes “extremes” and “excesses” might not be identical to that of your average Western non-Muslim analyst. In any case, their fatwa against the jihad terror groups is, unfortunately, unlikely to be effective, since the Islamic State and […]

Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Faisalabad church
“The motive behind the attack was personal enmity. It is not an act of terrorism,” claimed Station House Officer (SHO) Sadar police station Malik Muhammad Jahangir Khan. Faisalabad’s Mohallah Noorpur Chak cleric Dilawar Masih, however, disagreed, saying: “Though no human loss was reported in this incident, attackers gave a clear-cut message that Christians and their […]
Pakistan: Muslims set Christian colony ablaze over new blasphemy charges
Those who are saying that non-Muslims should never intentionally provoke Muslims don’t realize that Islamic supremacists in places like Pakistan, where they have the upper hand, seize on even the most innocuous actions as provocations, and commit violence accordingly. If non-Muslims start to pattern their behavior according to what does not offend Muslims, before too […]
Pakistan: Christian builds giant cross, challenges jihadis to destroy it
Parvez Henry Gill is standing up against violent intimidation. If the reaction to his building of this cross runs along the same line as the reaction to our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest, he will be accused of deliberately offending the jihadis with a gratuitous provocation, and blamed for anything that may happen to […]
