It is clear that Gilani is right: the Taliban is out of touch to demand Sharia in a state that already oppresses women, terrorizes non-Muslims with blasphemy charges, and gives active aid to Islamic jihadists. An update on this story. “Sharia already enforced: Gilani,” from The Nation (Pakistan), February 10: lahore [sic] – Responding to […]

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists throw grenades and open fire at Sufi gathering, murdering eight people
This latest attack on Sufis in Pakistan highlights some of the prevailing myopia about the jihad problem. The Sufis are often cited as proof that Islam can reform and be non-violent, which is not precisely accurate since Sufis have never rejected violent jihad in principle, and the Chechen jihad was led by Sufis for quite […]
Pakistan: Taliban demand Sharia, release of all jailed jihadis, breaking of all ties with U.S.
That part about breaking all relations with the U.S. sounds great. Let the Pakistanis finance their own jihad. Note again that they want Sharia, despite being universally portrayed in the West as opportunistic hijackers of Islam who use Islamic language to mask their true secular agenda. The Taliban also want an end to all drone […]
Pakistan: Jihadis threaten to kill lawyer, witness in trial of murderers of Christian official who opposed blasphemy law
They support those who murdered Shahbaz Bhatti and believe that they should go free. He was, after all, an Infidel who was interfering with the implementation of Sharia blasphemy laws in Pakistan. As far as they are concerned, he deserved what he got. “Extremist threats hamper Shahbaz Bhatti’s murder trial,” from AFP, February 8 (thanks […]
Taliban negotiators: no peace until Pakistan embraces Islamic law
This dogma in the West can only be questioned on pain of charges of “Islamophobia” and “bigotry”: the Taliban misunderstands, misinterprets and hijacks Islam, and true Muslims abhor its twisted version of their peaceful religion. Some Islamic apologists in the West even claim that the Taliban and Muslim leaders such as Maulana Abdul Aziz (pictured […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder soldier with bomb hidden in Qur’an
Watch for the worldwide protests against this desecration — no wait, there won’t be any, because it is perfectly fine for Islamic jihadists to desecrate the Qur’an in the cause of Islam. “Don’t pick up Quran in Pakistan, it could be a bomb,” from the Associated Press, January 31 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]
Pakistan: 34% of women say men are justified in hitting wives if they argue back
This is a good one for World Hijab Day. Stockholm syndrome. But it’s understandable: these women have been raised as Muslims, and taught that this is a divine command: “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have […]
Pakistan: Second Ahmadi faces blasphemy charges for reading from Qur’an in public
Ahmadis are classified as non-Muslims under Pakistani law, because they revere Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a prophet. They’re forbidden to read the Qur’an in public and are subject to discrimination and frequent harassment and violence. It is bitterly ironic that their spokesmen in the West, such as Harris Zafar and Qasim Rashid, side with their […]
Pakistan Taliban leader: what matters is enforcement of Sharia, “whether through peace or war”
Sharia is the goal of jihad groups the world over. They want to establish Islamic states governed by Islamic law. Non-Muslims who advocate accommodation to Sharia are aiding in this endeavor. Their female and non-Muslim descendants will not remember them fondly. “TTP wants enforcement of Sharia: spokesman,” from Dawn, January 31: MIRAMSHAH: The objective of […]
Jizya to keep flowing to Pakistan after U.S. pullout from Afghanistan
Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror. What safeguards are in place now to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Why, none. To ask for any accountability from Pakistan would be “Islamophobic.” “US to keep funding Pakistan after pullout,” by Wajid Ali […]
