My latest at PJ Media: The New York Times generally ignores the global persecution of Christians, but a notable exception came Monday, when the Gray Lady published an article entitled “Sewer Cleaners Wanted in Pakistan: Only Christians Need Apply.” But the Times remains committed, like all of the establishment media, to ignoring or downplaying incidents […]

Pakistan: Muslim cleric touts use of coronavirus aid to convert Christians to Islam
It’s the same story in every one of these cases. If Christians were using coronavirus aid to convert Muslims to Christianity, there would be insistent international headlines for weeks, New York Times studies on the unethical practices of missionaries, CNN exposés on forced conversion by Christian evangelists, etc. But you won’t hear about this anywhere […]
Pakistani Taliban: Jews have unleashed “virus war” to advance scheme for global governance
This is pure projection, as it is the Qur’an that calls on Muslims to seek global governance: “Fight them until religion is all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39). The Pakistani politician and Islamic scholar Maulana Maududi wrote in his commentary on another verse calling for the conquest of non-Muslims, Qur’an 9:29: “The purpose for which Muslims […]
Pakistan Human Rights Commission: Hindus and Christians “have been complaining of forced conversions”
Islamic tolerance. The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve […]
New York Times blames Hindu caste system for discrimination against Christians in Pakistan
“A recent spate of deaths among Christian sewer cleaners in Pakistan underscores how the caste discrimination that once governed the Indian subcontinent’s Hindus lingers, no matter the religion.” No, it doesn’t. Hindus are not in power in Pakistan. They are a rapidly dwindling minority. They have no cultural influence. The reason why Christians are discriminated […]
Pakistan’s minister of state for parliamentary affairs: “Beheading is the only punishment for those who mock Prophet Muhammad”
What are the chances that Pakistan will repeal its draconian blasphemy laws, under which so many innocent people have been victimized? About nil. “Pakistan minister calls for beheading of blasphemers,” UCA News, May 1, 2020: Pakistan’s minister of state for parliamentary affairs has called for the beheading of people who commit blasphemy. “Beheading is the […]
Pakistan goes to OIC to complain about rising “Islamophobia” in India
Kuwait has also just appealed to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to “take necessary and urgent measures” to stop “Islamophobia” in India, while a massive anti-India campaign targeting India was launched several days ago across Western Asia and the Arab countries. In a letter sent to the U.N. ambassadors of the OIC, “Ambassador Munir […]
Pakistan quietly removes 1800 jihadis from its terror watch list, including mastermind of 2008 Mumbai jihad massacre
What could possibly go wrong? The real problem is “Islamophobia.” “Pakistan removes thousands of names from terrorist watch list: Report,” PTI, April 21, 2020: NEW YORK: Pakistan has quietly removed around 1,800 terrorists from its watch list, including that of the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind and LeT operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, ahead of a new […]
Pakistan: Muslim cleric says coronavirus pandemic was caused by “immodest women”
The underlying assumption here is that the coronavirus is an expression of Allah’s wrath against those who do not obey his laws. So the solution is to implement Sharia. This kind of thinking leads to jihad violence, because a hadith depicts Muhammad telling his followers that no deed is greater than jihad (Bukhari 56.4.2785), which […]
Pakistan mosques to stay open for Ramadan: “The mosque is a safe place. I am not afraid of the coronavirus.”
The government of Pakistan has decided to capitulate to Islamic clerics and leave mosques open for Ramadan, with the hope that its citizens will decide for themselves to stay home and pray, or otherwise be careful not to spread coronavirus, should they decide to attend mosque. Guidelines were provided “which includes keeping six feet distances […]
