What Sirajul Haq said here could actually approach some truth: the Muhammad cartoons and the West’s freedom of speech could actually lead to an escalating global conflict, if Muslims continue to riot and kill in reaction to them. But it is much more likely at this point that the whole situation will be pacified by the West voluntarily abandoning the freedom of speech and the other principles of a free society, and submitting to Sharia blasphemy laws.
“Insulting caricature: West’s approach could lead to 3rd world war, says Siraj,” Express Tribune, January 24, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):
ISLAMABAD / LAHORE / FAISALABAD / QUETTA / HYDERABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has said the west’s ‘extremist standpoint’ on blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) may lead to a third world war.
“The path that the West has chosen will take the world to a third world war,” Siraj said on Friday.
He was addressing thousands of people at a rally, organised to protest against the insulting caricatures published in Western publications, particularly French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The JI chief demanded that the United Nations make laws to discourage blasphemy of all religious personalities. He said France must apologise for hurting sentiments of billions of Muslims across the world.
Addressing the rally, Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique said the life of a Muslim is useless if he cannot protect the honour and dignity of his Prophet (pbuh). Earlier, the rally marched from Faizabad Flyover through Islamabad Highway to the Blue Area of the capital.
Meanwhile, activists of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) also held a protest in Islamabad and assembled outside Lal Masjid after Friday prayers.
ASWJ head Maulana Muhammad Ludhianvi condemned the caricatures and urged the Muslim world to play a role in making international laws to discourage blasphemy. The ASWJ leaders also demanded expulsion of the French ambassador.
Hundreds of people also came together in various parts of Faisalabad to stage a protest demonstration against the French magazine.
The protests were organised by various religious organisations, including Tehreek-e-Ahle Sunnat and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam. The protesters carried placards inscribed with slogans against the publication. They said they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect the honour, prestige and esteem of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Tehreek-e-Ahle Sunnat chairman Qazi Muhammad Faiz Rasool Rizvi said Western countries had conspired to incense Muslims by publishing the caricatures in an effort to alter the ideology of Islam. He said love for the Prophet (pbuh) was a basic tenet of Islam.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Faisalabad president Abdus Shakoor Rizvi condemned the publication of the offensive caricatures. He said anti-Islam elements should stop hatching such conspiracies or be ready to face consequences….
Jay Boo says
Muslims would not be so defensive about the drawing of Muhammad if it were not for the fact that Muhammad had horns protruding from his forehead, cloven hoofs, a pointy tail and glowed red in the dark.
Let’s not mention the (666 names) of Allah.
Shane says
We should insult Islam and Muhammad every day and hope they do start WW3. We have many more nukes than they do and we could turn all the Muslim holy cities into piles of sand.

It was predicted that a huge part of the ME will be nuked into a giant parking lot ( Joseph Tittel ). It could be an exchange of nukes between Israel n Iran.
Transmaster says
Does this mean I shouldn’t try to sell the pork crackling I found that looks like Mohammad on eBay because it will cause WWIII.

Hmm. Jesus on your toast would fetch more.

“Sirajul Haq has said the west’s ‘extremist standpoint’ on blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) may lead to a third world war.”
Haq is to blind to see that WW lll was actually started by Islamic Jihad Muslim Terrorists on 911!
Hummer says
It’s been building since 1979 when Jimmy Carter helped Khomeini get off his squat position- shown on tv then- in Paris and take over Iran. The follow up continues with the appeaser in chief and his pro-muslim stance regardless of what they do. When things go bad which they already are getting there with cells in our country, I don’t want a muslim in the WH.
Richie says
Its not the cartoons, but criticism Islam that is causing Muslims to have this reaction.
How about the COUNTLESS anti semitic cartoons that Muslims publlish- do they have a problem with that?
This is just Muslims, as usual being crybabies, and demanding the entire world be obey their stone age blasphemy laws. The sad reality is I think some western countries have already given in
Shane says
Yes, the hate speech laws in Canada and in Europe enforce Islamic blasphemy laws. We freedom lovers should oppose all hate speech laws in every Western nation.
katnis says
The Iranian newspaper publishes a cartoon contest about the holocaust. Can you believe that???? How offensive is that?

Buraq says
World War 3? Bring it on! The West could crush these clowns if it really wanted.
umbra says
Perhaps a good idea to allow the ROP types believe that they have a good chance of winning. When the shooting starts, simply annihilate all their worthless armies.
ECAW says
Yes, it’s come to something when WW3 is a less bad option than the alternative hasn’t it?
Two small ones on Mecca and Medina and a few big ones on the gulf oilfields would no doubt cause a lot of rethinking in the Islamic world.
G179 says
A bully at work.
Chuck Briggs says
Parents put filters on their children’s Internet access because they are to immature to deal with pornograpgic and sometimes violent content. Why don’t the Moslems just put intent filters on their internet access to limit images they deem offensive?
Angemon says
Chuck Briggs posted:
“Why don’t the Moslems just put intent filters on their internet access to limit images they deem offensive?”
Because islam teaches that non-muslims are inferior, sub-human trash and must conform with islamic law.
pumbar says
Because those filters would block goat porn. You think they’re going mad over mo comics? Just see the reaction when they can’t get any ovine oninism action.

Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has said the west’s ‘extremist standpoint’ on blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) may lead to a third world war.
The hairy Mr. Haq is absolutely right on where things are heading. Retain free speech about Moslems, and you must pay.
Although, I must quibble with him on what is extreme in this equation, is it the caricatures or is it the Moslem sensitivity to them?
Another quibble: he assumes that the West will resist instead of simply giving up. With the hold the news entertainers and professors have on us, it is not a given that the Infidels will fight for survival. They might decide that it’s easier to simply give up freedom in exchange for peace.
jewdog says
Are we really going to continue to subsidize that sorry excuse of a country, Pukistan? Just consider the enormity of what passes for ethics there, with mass rallies justifying the murder of innocent journalists exercising their freedom of speech, with not one word on behalf of their right to life, much less their freedom of speech. And I guess the Jews murdered at the market were a langniappe. I’m just glad that I’m a dog.
The administration fails to understand that the ideological component of war is at least as important as the military aspect. What is the point of using force against something we can’t even describe lest we be accused of stereotyping, racism, or Islamophobia? The ban on criticising Islam implies that Islam is sacrosanct, which in turn implies that we have no business opposing it since it is really splendid. The logical inconsistencies in this approach simply make a laughingstock out of our foreign policy and only lead to strategic errors.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I’m just glad that I’m a dog.
Be careful with that, dogs are held in very low esteem in dar al-Islam. So, in addition to being a Jew, you pull a double whammy as being a canine too.
I mention all this cuz it looks like they’re taking over and a guy’s gotta plan ahead.
jewdog says
True. I should have said that these Islamic supremacists make humans look bad.
Fr. Basil` says
If the UN outlaws blasphemy (though it has no power to outlaw anything), that would mean that mahometanism would itself be outlawed, as it is full of blasphemy against our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ!
I bear witness that there is NO GOD but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, crucified, and risen from the dead.
rev g says
I do believe the outcome he warns of is going to come about whether the UN capitulates or not. The issue is just an excuse.
ECAW says
rev g – A couple of weeks ago you came out with a very funny off colour joke and I forgot it (I’m sure it was you cos I remember thinking “and him a reverend too”).
Any chance of a refresh?
Ross says
There are too many genocidal Islamists seated in the UN for me to obey anything that comes out of the UN. It’s just a higher branch of political criminality that is aiding in the downfall of this planets inhabitants.
The UN should be turned into housing and we should stoop funding it.
Angemon says
Coincidentally, I find that muslims who want to “protect the honour and dignity” of a highway robber, rapist, murdering pedophile sociopath have useless lives and are a waste of resources who could be better used to feed the starving, fund scientific research or promote literacy, to name a few.
dlbrand says
Indeed, both statements.
Mac-101 says
Look at da BIG PICTURE. This is ALL an excuse for da GLOBALIST to enact a global Hate Speech code which they can tweak and modify to control ALMOST any speech they deem a threat to their expansion of Power culminatin in their TOTAL Control of ALL those thyme deem worthy to produce CO2.

You control Speech, you control Thought.

Ren says
Muslims want Westerners to abandon freedom of speech instead of them abandoning religious dictatorship and sacralization of Muuuhamed. Muslims want Westerners to get back in time instead of them going forward and getting civilized. Such mindset has no place in modern world. Westerners have fought for freedom of speech while muslims have resigned to Allah dictatorship. That is their choice and that will never be ours!
katnis says
Yep. Like oil and water. Fire and ice. The two don’t mix.
CogitoErgoSum says
Muslims say they love Muhammad. Either they do not really know the truth about the man or else they love murder, rape, pedophilia, slavery, treachery, bigotry, war, hatred, selfishness and lying. These were all the characteristics of Muhammad as set forth in the very texts Muslims hold sacred. Only ignorant or perverse people would accept such traits in a man and still call him honorable and dignified. In no way did this man rise above the weakness of the flesh and lend his spirit to the will of God. Instead he used God to bend the will of others to his own physical needs and in doing so he damned his own soul. By defending Muhammad Muslims do indeed prove what they love. If you tell me that you love Muhammad then you also tell me that you love the very things I see destroying the spirit of mankind. I will not be politically correct about this. I will tell you point blank: I hate everything Muhammad represents and I will never stand with those who say they love him.

saturnine says
Such a bigot. He’s painting Westerners with a broad brush and blaming all of them for the actions of a tiny minority of extremists. He’s also taking the cartoons out of context, which as everyone who’s not racist knows, can only be properly understood in the original French.
CogitoErgoSum says
Touche!
Angemon says
Good one 😀
Wellington says
Very clever, saturnine. My compliments.

how typical of the demonic… these are the kinds of threatenings and lies typical of all demons when faced with the Truth… islam =antichrist.
mortimer says
“Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique said the life of a Muslim is useless if he cannot protect the honour and dignity of his Prophet (pbuh).” … i.e. ‘protect’ by killing blasphemers, presumably…so…the life of a Muslim is useless if he cannot kill.
What does that have to do with railways?
Salah says
World War III is already there.
Unlike WW I & WW II, where honest leaders used to “declare” war on other countries, WW III will and *is* already happening WITHOUT any declarations of war.
It is happening right now while our stupid leaders and MSM keep reassuring us that everything is OK, nothing to see here, move on, go back to sleep, etc.
There won’t be any official declaration of wars anymore. WW III is a STEALTH war. It’s happening while we are sleeping.
When we’ll wake up, it won’t be nice!
Clare says
As far as I can understand, we are in a war in the general meaning but not in the legal meaning. Instead of Congress declaring war on a nation, they have banned organizations. We are in armed conflict with terrorist organizations (specifically the jihad mujahadeen army of allah). It is necessary that news reports from mainstream media name the organizations and very often they do not; this is a serious omission in war. The Long War Journal is very meticulous about describing who and where regarding armed conflicts with (my words) Islam’s fascist war of attrition against the world.
Dave J says
All the complaints, protests and rhetoric coming from Muslim sources can be boiled down to one word:
SUBMIT!
The reality is that they planned, initiated and intend to pursue their war with the West.
katnis says
Again and again we see evidence that muslims do not and cannot mix with the Western world. As an alternative to WW3, I suggest that all muslims go back to the middle east and stay there. muslims can stay in their portion of the planet, and we will stay in ours. Problem solved.
After all, we didn’t need muslims yesterday, we don’t need muslims today, and we won’t need them tomorrow.
pumbar says
That means we’ll have to make our own kebabs!
Gary says
“He came into the world, and the world knew Him not.”
He came to His own, and His own received Him not.”
“The stone the builders rejected became the chief cornerstone.”
Muslims need to get over themselves. They’ve got very very Weak self esteem issues.
What?! Their “FAKE MOON GOD” can’t handle a cartoon?
Get Frick’n over yourselfs.
I WILL NEVER SUBMIT!!! PERIOD!!!
change watch says
Anyone who thinks WW3 is not already going on has not been following the news. How much longer we can live in a state of denial purely depends on how successful our security forces in the West keeps being in interdicting would be terrorist plots. Rape Jihad on a Bosnian conflict level is currently raging across the UK. 1400 victims in one small town alone, if that’s not war then I don’t know what is. Sadly it’s our daughters who, from puberty, are the victims on the front line.
Read A Consequence of Apathy-Jihad UK. by NR Baldwin. This is about all of us. This is about our death.
Wellington says
Something’s got to give. Either Islam prevails or the West does. No way long term both can survive.
AuthorLee says
Perhaps it’s time to outlaw Islam. For more on this idea check out BEHOLD, AN ASHEN HORSE.
Psycho says
WW III has already started. If President George W Bush’s “War on Terror” wasn’t a Declaration of War, then certainly Islamic State’s War on the Western World & all our values (developed over centuries) is. We don’t need any more declarations of war, it’s on! We also don’t need the UN, MSM & World Leaders to keep their heads in the sand. If that continued then IS will win, the whole Planet will come under Islamic rule & several centuries of human development & improvement will be lost. I’m not so pessimistic that this will actually happen, but for it not to proceed to such a huge backward scenario we will all have to Wake Up, not just a few of us. Freedom Lovers of the World, Unite!

“France must apologise for hurting sentiments of billions of Muslims across the world.”
“Billions”, eh? Where are all these “billions” hiding?

Maybe he’s implying that we’re all muzzies but most of us haven’t “reverted” yet (with good reason I might add).

You probably got it right, you know Jesus was not a Jew but a Muslim? And also Moses? We have been cancelled out by Mo, we have been mislead, and so on. To prove that, they have a wonderful set of States, thriving economically and very peaceful.
NOT.
Christian Knight says
You do know JESUS turned water into wine…. Did you know JESUS was Baptized… do you know JESUS called his GOD Father.. Did you know JESUS taught how to pray… Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be his name..
Matthew 6:5-8King James Version (KJV)
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
How can you call JESUS a Muslim…
pumbar says
CS was simply pointing out what muzzies believe.
Paul Martin says
If they don’t want anyone to make fun of their prophet, keep him to themselves, as we really don’t care or want to know anything about their beliefs, and we are getting sick of them trying to force them on us. Go and worship whoever they like, but stop insisting, through violence, that we do the same – or else!
Jae M says
People make fun of their prophet BECAUSE of the violence his followers.
Raj says
All western media should step up and republish the cartoon in their every major newspaper. Sometimes war is the only option. This is the one. Western world should declare war against the death cult (islam. West should use every single resource if they have to in order to fight jihad. Using all the resources are worth to protect freedom of expression.
hugh lyons says
We have a virtual war situation now. The people of the muslim faith say what they like about Jews, Christians, Royalty. The rape women and children like they have in England and Scandinavia. Murder people by the 10s of thousands through war and bombings and when anyone says anything about them they are being picked on. Tough.
mad-aussie says
This sounds like an Ultimatum to me. All Non Muslims Must Submit To the Will of Allah and Islam OR It will be your fault that you have started WW3 with the Religion of Peace. Any Western country that introduces Sharia in the form of Blasphemy Laws to end Free speech, Are Traitors to Western Civilization. What the Hell is Wrong with our leaders? I Forgot, TO HELL WITH ISLAM!
Eric the Viking says
Gutless dishonourable men is what our leaders and politicians are. Spineless traitors of freedom.

Right. When we have somebody totally opposed to filthy islam, in our governments, then we will have started our way back to normality!!
But when???
Ken Wortman says
Oh let’s get the UN involved in this situation. Wow Islamic leaders whining about cartoons and they will be the cause of WW III are idiots. I say let’s bring it on and the free world with the support of the non-Radical Muslims will eradicate these Vermin pest from the face of the world. We need to remember this hatred in deeply embedded in the minds of Radicals. It does not matter if they are children, women or men. The time to ponce in now and start with all Radical Clerics. We should use pig tainted bullets and be extremely vial towards them and show no compassion. They started the war now let’s finish it….
Pigasus (pioneering porcine aviation) says
And contempt for “the Prophet ” and the gullible followers is a basic tenet outside of Islam. And I prefer WW3 versus Islam immediately rather later.
Scoffer1 says
Instead of killing people, Muslims would be better off using their time bathing and removing from their faces those lice farms that they refer to as “beards”. They can have their so called religion and their “Prophet Muhammed. (Pigs Be Upon Him).
Prinz Eugen says
Wouldn’t outlawing the unholy koran go a long way towards stamping out “blasphemy?”
Outlawing islam would remove over 95% of the wars and atrocities currently plaguing the world.
The new Saudi tribal chieftain is not the only senile/demented leader in that part of the world. Guess
our khalifa Barak Hussein will pay homage and profess fealty to him shortly. But no one seems to discuss the fact that this new caliphate will have to control Mecca and Medina if they are to be taken seriously. When Isis attacks the Saudis, who will Barry Sorero assist?
Vox populi says
I was thinking that in Pakistan they were using internet basically only for porn watching, if we believe published statistics. I’m happy to see their are by now getting apparently interested to other aspects of our culture, including underground comics like Charlie Hebdo There is therefore hope, at the end…..
Michelle Wayne says
III WW?? they say, well bring it on you muslims!! knowing what kind of cowards you are, by killing people never in they face, only with a knife in the back and attacking murdering children and civilians mostly they own, and they only know how to fight each other to what they have proven so far, I say more cartoons !! bring it on ! best way to get read of this sick kult of Islam.
