The forbidden juice
This is absurd, and Vaqas Asghar rightly makes fun of it in this piece, but there is a sinister aspect to this also: Islamic supremacists want to destroy the livelihood and utterly impoverish those whom they deem to be enemies. This is behind the endless repetition of false information about the finances of anti-jihadists -- including Suhail Khan's hysterical false charge that I demanded $10,000 to debate him. The ultimate goal is to scare off all donors and supporters, and in the case of this juice, to destroy the market for it, so that all of Islam's perceived enemies "feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).
"To ban or not to ban …Shezan juice," by Vaqas Asghar in the Express Tribune, February 12:
A couple of weeks back, the Jamaatud Dawa held a well-attended rally in Rawalpindi to remove an Ahmadi religious centre from Satellite Town.Even though neighbours claimed to have no issues with its presence, the assault on this myopically-perceived menace seems far from over. Just take the little-reported effort to ban a local cell phone company due to its ‘questionable ownership’.
Although proven to be non-Ahmadi owned, the company still raises suspicion because it starts with the same letter that a derogatory term for Ahmadis does. Apparently, a flaw in their phones’ Urdu dictionary which made it impossible to type the name Muhammad is what fuelled the cause.
On Sunday, The Express Tribune reported on a monumental decision taken by the Lahore Bar Association. These lawyers, some of whom vocally supported convicted murderer and all-round crazy person Mumtaz Qadri (also a lawyers’ favourite in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, where garland of roses were placed around his ‘blessed’ neck and offers were placed for his ‘holy’ MP5 submachine gun), decided that a major food and beverage brand should be banned from all court premises because it is owned by every Pakistani bigot’s favourite punching bag, Ahmadis. This was followed up by a vow to “also…ban other products at a later stage”.
With this in mind, in the spirit of banning things based on who owns or manufactures them, I’ve come up with a short list of other items that should be banned.
Guns
Specifically the infamous Kalashnikov Ak-47 and AK-74 rifles which so many feel a religious duty to acquire. The guns carry the name of their inventor, Soviet weapons designer Lt General Mikhael Kalashnikov, an atheist. Of course the fact that he regretted his invention later, saying things like, “It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon…I created this weapon primarily to safeguard our motherland” and, “I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work — for example a lawnmower.”
Alternatively, if they love their AK’s so much, wait for the AK-mower to hit the market. I’m sure the 92-year-old genius has one last design in him. They can help pass the time with one of the general’s less famed products, Kalashnikov Vodka
Clothes
Now clothing dates back past the coming of Islam, or any modern religion for that matter, but the problem is, how do you know who made the cloth for that fascinating non-Muslim, European-styled black on white combo you’re wearing? Was it an atheist in China? Was it a Christian in South America? Was it a Hindu in India? Was it a non-whatever-you-are in Pakistan? The only solution to assure compatibility is to make your own cloth and stitch it yourself. Or wear a box (as long as you’re sure it was made by people who share your ideology).
Cell phones
Invented by Christians and manufactured by atheists in China, it is high time to lay those Blackberrys, Nokias, iPhones, HTCs and Samsungs on top of a bonfire. Start with Android phones, since the technology’s father is a Jew.
Paper, printing, and ink
All three are Chinese inventions, if the lawyers are really committed, they will begin a movement to get rid of all written and printed material such as the Constitution of Pakistan. But wait, wouldn’t that mean having to dispose of all the written anti-minority laws? No problem. They can rely on oral histories. Who needs certified written records when any prime candidate for natural deselection can spout a cockamamie theory and present it as fact?...
If only they spent as much time and effort on something more constructive: education perhaps!?!?

This is absolutely true. Also, Ahmadis in Dar-al-Islam have a more difficult time rising in other professions such as government, the military, and academia due to Muslim discrimination—hence, entrepreneurship is one of the few careers open to them besides degrading—and insecure—sh*t jobs working for mainstream Muslims.
I've also heard that Ahmadis tend to have a bit less of that deadening "Inshallah fatalism" than their more orthodox Muslim brethren. If so, ugly campaigns like this are likely to beat that out of them.

Just being *suspected*—no matter how absurdly—of being Ahmadi is enough. As to the "Muhammad" glitch, this is ridiculous, and shows Muslim ignorance of this sect. The Ahmadi—more fools them!—revere the "Prophet" just like mainstream Muslims.
An aside, but an important issue: why is it that Infidels are endlessly castigated over their supposed misunderstanding of Islam, while Muslims regularly show their ignorance of other religions—and usually in the ugliest ways—with no expectations that it should be otherwise?
It is not surprising that this teeming country which is obsessed with its religion has produced just one Nobel prize winner.
And guess what?
He is an Ahmadi.
nothing good comes out of muslim countries. if it was not for the west they be living in the 7th century. thanks for the west they moved on and they live in the 10th century!!!
Sure they've come that far?
Well, it's a strange mixture, really. This kept striking me while I was in the Sudan recently: the mixture of 7th-Century Arabic culture with modern conveniences, and I mean not just items but ideas. Seventh-Century thinking plods along until it collides with what is new and convenient, which is quickly adopted until it is banned.
Don't try telling them that Jews invented many of the things they use, or the peculiar Marxism they have incorporated into their thinking: they don't want to know!
What about toilet paper? Clearly something of the devil. Should be Haraam, if it isn't already.
I remember a few years ago when the so=called swine flu was a big deal. Did not the muzlums in Cairo go on a killing frenzy of pigs, owned by the Copts, whose pigs would eat much of the garbage of that city. Consequently, the garbage piled up and rats and other vermin increased
How is that working out for you now, muzlums of Cairo.
Khushi thanks for the info I did not know that.

True, Khushi. Far from honoring him, Pakistan has stripped the work "Muslim" from his headstone. Even jingoistic national pride is not enough for Pakistan to really claim him. Here's an article:
http://www.themuslimtimes.org/2012/02/countries/pakistan/stripping-nobel-prize-from-muslim-dr-abdus-salam
This was written by professional "moderate Muslim" Mike Ghouse for the Huffington Post—of course, he has no real understanding of how orthodoxy trumps everything in Islam.
The Muslim world has produced few Nobel Prize winners—just seven, or perhaps eight if Salaam is included.
A couple of years ago I did a study of the Muslim Nobel Prize winners. Leaving aside Yasser Arafat—whose award was just a perverse bit of political correctness and misplaced credulity—few if any of the recipients could be considered mainstream Muslims.
Really, they have been a bunch of apostates and heretics—and I mean that in the best possible way.
And among them, one was stabbed for his beliefs, and another assassinated outright.
I hope no one minds my reposting the link:

And almost all muslim Nobel prize winners are 'Peace' prize winners. After some unbelievable choices made by the Nobel committee, i think of the Nobel peace prizes as nothing.
Abdus Salaam, the pakistani Ahmadi, who pakistan won't even recognise as a muslim, won it in the Physics category.
