Pakistan grants bail to Mumbai jihad massacre mastermind

After $28 billion in aid, US still can’t get Pakistan to confront jihadists
One might almost get the idea that there was too much sympathy for the jihadis in the Pakistani government for it to take any significant action against them, and that this money has been wasted due to a refusal to deal realistically with that fact. But such considerations could be “Islamophobic,” and so it is […]
Pakistan school: Jihadis screamed “Allahu akbar” as they murdered children
They believed that in murdering these children, they were pleasing their bloodthirsty god who commands them to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60) and to kill apostates, heretics, those who sow corruption, and so many other groups of human beings. “‘I saw death so close,’” AFP, December 16, 2014: […]
Pakistan: Jihadis burn teacher alive in front of students, behead children
The death toll is now over 130. The jihadis set off a jihad-martyrdom suicide bomb that killed a number of students, while beheading others and making students watch as a teacher was burned alive.

Islamic Republic of Pakistan: School textbooks promote violent jihad
The introduction of such material into the textbooks is being promoted by members of the Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami. Yet in the West it is an official dogma that violent jihad has nothing to do with Islam, and anyone who believes otherwise is a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.

Muslim preacher accused of blasphemy flees Pakistan, no plans to return
Junaid has asked forgiveness — indeed, begged for forgiveness — but Islamic law doesn’t stipulate forgiveness for blasphemers, only their punishment. And so the Islamic hard line that Jamshed has so assiduously preached is now being turned against him. An update on this story. “Junaid Jamshed has no immediate plans to return,” Pakistan Today, December […]
Pakistan says Muslim charged in NY subway jihad plot killed in army raid
Pakistan, while aiding jihadis on the one hand, moves against them on the other, so as to make sure that the gravy train keeps rolling in from Washington. But they needn’t worry.

Pakistan: Jihadists open fire at home of lawyer defending accused blasphemer
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a massive occasion for human rights abuses, but the world human rights community takes little notice.
