Pakistani academic known for liberal views on Islam and accused of blasphemy shot dead
Here is yet another example of why we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers. Shakil Auj’s crime was saying that non-Muslim men should be able to marry Muslim women — a challenge to the supremacist Islamic law that endeavors to ensure that Muslim communities will always be growing and non-Muslim communities will always be in […]
Pakistan: 15 Christians held under blasphemy law
“Condemning the registration of case, a rights group alleged that ‘fake’ blasphemy case was filed against them on the pressure of the cleric and Muslims as they did not want the land allocated to Christians.” The Pakistani blasphemy laws are the cause of a huge number of human rights abuses and ruined lives. But the […]
Islamic State appeals for support in Pakistan
They want to take their caliphate worldwide. It will be interesting to see if they gain any support in Pakistan. If they really represent a twisting and hijacking of Islam, as so many in the West insist, then surely they won’t: the Pakistanis will know better. This could be instructive, except that no one in […]
Pakistan: Muslim pol and “moderate” cleric booked under anti-terrorist act
Tahir-ul-Qadri enjoys a widespread reputation as a “moderate,” despite his role in drafting Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy law, because he issued a 400-page fatwa against terrorism. Unfortunately, that fatwa doesn’t even discuss the verses of the Qur’an that jihadists use to justify terrorism, as I showed in this article. In a response to my article, Qadri’s […]
Comedy gold: Pakistani political, military leaders pledge to eliminate terrorism
The New York Times stated back in 2008: “The idea that Pakistan’s military and intelligence agencies could simultaneously be aiding the Taliban and like-minded militants while taking money from the United States is not as far-fetched as it may seem.” Indeed. It wasn’t far-fetched then, and since then came Pakistan’s outrage over the bin Laden […]
Pakistanis, Egyptians, Yemenis, Somalis exploiting open U.S. border
Pakistanis, Egyptians, Yemenis, and Somalis. Now why might people from those countries want to sneak across the border into the U.S.? What possible reason could they have for doing so? Why, it boggles the mind! “Leaked CBP Report Shows Entire World Exploiting Open US Border,” by Brandon Darby, Breitbart News, August 3, 2014 (thanks to […]
Pakistan used U.S. anti-terror military aid to buy equipment to fight India
“Most of that military aid never went to counterinsurgency; it went to buying equipment to fight India. And as is the case in Afghanistan, on the economic side, in spite of efforts by the Congress over the last 10 years, we have never had a single report from USAID to explain what the benefits or […]
Ex-Muslim critic of Islam expelled from Norway, faces deportion to Pakistan and death
Firasat has been sent back to Spain, where he faces deportation to Pakistan. In Pakistan, he would certainly be killed. “The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that Firasat should be expelled from the country, being a security threat.” But it is not actually Imran Firasat who is the security threat; it is the Muslims who […]
Pakistan to seek continued U.S. jizya to “combat terror”
The New York Times stated back in 2008: “The idea that Pakistan’s military and intelligence agencies could simultaneously be aiding the Taliban and like-minded militants while taking money from the United States is not as far-fetched as it may seem.” Indeed. It wasn’t far-fetched then, and since then came Pakistan’s outrage over the bin Laden […]
