Pakistan is a Sharia state, but it doesn’t accept the authority of the Islamic State’s caliph.

Netherlands sentences Pakistani jihadis to prison for calling for murder of Geert Wilders
This is good, but it will change nothing. Pakistan certainly won’t extradite these two, and they will go about their business and likely continue to call for the murder of Wilders. Still, it is good to see at least one government in the West taking even a symbolic stand for the freedom of expression, when […]

Pakistan military to crack down against ‘digital terrorism’
Pakistan has serious terrorism issues, such as those coming from the Islamic State and the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Pakistan: Advocate for minority rights shares poem opposing rape, gets arrested for insulting Allah
Asma Batool’s mistake was that she quoted a poem that referred to many gods, rather than insisting that there is no god but Allah. For that, she could be imprisoned or even killed. As far as Pakistani authorities are concerned, upholding the singularity of Allah is more important than human life, and certainly more important […]

Pakistan: Wave of attacks in Balochistan leave over 70 dead ahead of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit

Pakistan: Council of Islamic Ideology says Ahmadis ‘must not be allowed to preach even within their houses’
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. “Pakistan, Council of Islamic Ideology Asks for Even Harsher […]
