Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan concerned about rising “Islamophobia” in the West

Apr 13, 2016 8:34 am By Robert Spencer

Not about jihad terror. Not about Paris and Brussels and San Bernardino and Chattanooga. Not about al-Qaeda and the Taliban operating with impunity, and Pakistani government support, in Pakistan and Afghanistan. No, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz is worried about “Islamophobia,” and he wants the West to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws as the antidote to this spurious malady: “We attach importance to freedom of expression. We, however, refuse to accept that it allows insults against Islam and hate speech and incitement to violence against Muslims.”

No genuine incitement to violence should ever be tolerated. But since Islamic groups routinely classify any examination by non-Muslims of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims as “insults against Islam and hate speech,” what Aziz is essentially calling for is the legal restriction of criticism of Islam, including counter-terror analysis — which would have the effect of allowing the jihad to proliferate unopposed.

“Pakistan concerned at rising Islamophobia in the West, Express Tribune, April 13, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

Amid growing Islamophobia in the west, Pakistan has voiced deep concerns at what it called a “sharp rise in hate speech, discriminatory acts and social hostility against Muslims”, particularly in the countries where they are in minority.

“We are also witnessing an increase in instances of physical and psychological violence against Muslims and their businesses and places of worship. Muslim minorities are being alienated and marginalised. Many of them live in fear,” said Prime Minister’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz in his speech at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Istanbul ahead of a summit meeting.

Aziz said western media’s ignorant portrayals of Muslims were providing fuel to the campaign of hate and bigotry. “At a time when there is a need to urge all communities to develop tolerance and respect for each other, we see the unfortunate rise of political opportunism by spreading fear and xenophobia.”

He warned that “if left unchecked, such instances and political shortsightedness will grow rapidly in the years to come. It is our collective responsibility to reverse these trends.”

“We attach importance to freedom of expression. We, however, refuse to accept that it allows insults against Islam and hate speech and incitement to violence against Muslims.”…

      ISLAM.
      Islam does not come to integrate or assimilate.
      Islam comes ONLY to: Conquer, Submit, Convert, or Kill.
      The “Global Jihad” mission is to overturn/usurp/change “Man-Law”
      and replace them with “God-Law”, Sharia.

    It is our collective responsibility to reverse these trends.

    I’d say it’s our collective responsibility to prevent the spread of islamic bigotry and murder. And part of that task relies on the ability to speak freely and candidly about those parts of islam that cause it, namely jihad in all its forms. I’ve grown weary of the same old accusations of racism and “islamophobia” for simply voicing my legitimate concerns and factual points. These muslims need the equivalent of an “intervention” over their religious attachments. I’m an atheist, I don’t have an ounce of respect for their fake religion and god, or its murdering prophet. Any religion that puts murder in the mouth of god is not of god, it’s from sick and sinful man. And even if it were from god, it’s even less deserving of respect because we don’t need that kind of god in our lives.

    Every sensible person knows now that islam is nothing more than religious fascism. It is hateful, aggressive, ignorant, and immoral. Where it should be kind it is hateful, where it should be tolerant it is murderously bigoted. There is nothing good in that phony religion that could offset the evil it inspires. I challenge any reasonable thinking person to tell me why it’s any less evil than was Hitler’s Nazism. There really is no difference, except one was for race superiority and the other religion. But the underlying evil is still the same: Control, oppress, and murder.

      You can still find pictures of Hitler with an entourage
      wherein you WILL find a guy with a Muslim Headdress.
      The Muslim Brotherhood was part of Hitler’s court.
      The MB fully agreed with Hitler’s Anti-Semitism and
      raised two or three Divisions for Hitler’s Army in
      the East. They were ultimately fed into the maw
      of Stalingrad, good place for them, they are still there.

    Someone needs to ask him about Asia Bibi: the impoverished and powerless Pakistani Catholic Christian lady who was screamingly accused of ‘blasphemy!’ by a bunch of mohammedan females, merely because she stated that she thought Jesus was better than Mohammed. That, you see, was an insult to Mohammed, to say that *anybody* was better than him…

    She was mobbed, lynched (and may have been raped), she was hauled into court, and sentenced to DEATH.

    She has been in solitary confinement on death row ever since, with successive appeals being made and rejected; I suspect the vile Pakistani Muslims are enjoying playing cat-and-mouse with her.

    And she isn’t the only one thus abused – on the basis of outright malicious lies – in hideous Islamic Pakistan.

    And meanwhile the Pakistanis have the *hide* to attempt to impose their thrice-damned ‘blasphemy law’ (which is straight out of the sharia of Islam) upon the Western world, by shrieking accusations about “Islamophobia!” (mostly meaning, how dare even a few Infidels here and there employ their brains to criticise and question Islam, Islam, Islam and Mohammed the Madj!).

    • Jack Diamond says

      Apr 13, 2016 at 10:23 am

      Yes, that is how Muslim Pakistan treats Christians when they are in a minority. This is the tolerance and respect they deal out, while expecting the opposite for themselves (as befitting a group which holds itself superior and exempt from rules like freedom of speech (a kaffir invention)–“we, however, refuse to accept that it allows insults against Islam.” Or human rights (another kaffir invention).

      I’ve seen several sources which state Asia Bibi was gang raped. Hardly surprising in a place where the news story de jour might be: “a Christian girl has been killed after she and two friends shrugged of the advances of some young drunken Muslim men from one of the elite areas of Lahore, Defence Colony”;
      or “a Pakistani mob beat to near-death a Christian and his pregnant wife for her alleged ‘blasphemy’, (accused of burning papers that had verses of the Qur’an on them) then threw them both into the large kiln where they both worked as bonded laborers (and burned them to death).” A huge mob incited from…the mosque.

      “The police themselves filed the case and lodged the First Information Report (FIR), [no. 475/14], registered in Kot Radha Kishan Police Station. The FIR states that 500 to 600 men tortured the Christian couple. The FIR identifies 60 men by name and says that: “the incident took place after the above-nominated persons gathered a crowd of people and roused their passion though false announcements from the mosque (loudspeakers) of desecration of the Qur’an.”

      From Wilson Chowdhry of the BPCA:

      “Pakistani Christians are in the midst of a genocide but their plight has been ignored by western nations, most of whom believe they are severely discriminated against, not persecuted.

      “The Gulshan Park bomb attack evidences the targeting of Pakistani Christians by the Taliban. A chilling statement by the leader of Jamat ul Ahrar Ehsan Ulla Ehsan clearly sets this premise, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. 700 Christian girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islamic marriage every year. 15% of blasphemy allegations are laid against Christians yet they make up just 1.6% of the population. 86% of Christians are working as domestic servants, sewage cleaners, (for which the government promotes Christian only applicants in a twisted sense of positive discrimination), or are in bonded labour which is nothing more than modern slavery. A male family member will have sacrificed his freedom and that of his children and their children for little more than a loan of £50 – usually to pay medical fees. Millions of Christians are locked in bonded labour despite it being outlawed since 1992.”

      There will be many more gems like this from the OIC summit, held in Istanbul to showcase the new lead role Erdogan’s Turkey is going to play.

    Sharia law blasphemy laws…just like in Pakistan…allow the persecution of ‘others’ upon the utterance of accusation.

    Don’t worry about a trial…don’t worry about defense arguments…just proceed immediately to sentencing and execution. A defense lawyer is necessary according to their point of view, and so, no defense lawyer will want to take the case, since his life will also be threatened since he is seen to be ‘FIGHTING AGAINST ISLAM’. And ‘fighting Islam’ is said to be ‘unjust’. That’s the way a blasphemy accusation falls out in Pakistan.

    What was just described is called ‘vigilantism’ and it is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    The immediate problem of adopting Pakistan’s blasphemy law in a secular country is that without a nationally-established religion, there is no possibility of defining ‘blasphemy’, since competing religions have contradictory definitions of ‘blasphemy’.

    To adopt an Islamic blasphemy law in a secular country is tantamount to establishing Islam as the nationally-established religion. This cannot be done.

    Too late, the word is out. Thanks to brave people like Robert Spencer, their faith and their prophet are being known, and recognized around the world. The judgement of all free people will not please these bigoted hate mongers. So be it. The question becomes whether or not people who believe in and imitate the prophet should be permitted to live among us. They don’t seem to be a good fit in an advanced, pluralistic society like our own. We certainly don’t need to import this alien hateful screed. It is no accident that this country is a failed economy, a failing state of more than 150 million souls with nuclear bombs and less electricity generation capacity than Michigan. That is to say, a typical Islamic state. Islamophobia is not a form of bigotry, but the conclusion of rational analysis of available facts. Still, God help those poor people trapped in these societies.

    Islam is nothing more then a blending of ancient paganism with Satan worship. It isthe worst curse ever to befall mankind. Itis certcertainly right and proper to criticize it. And point out it’s insane and brutal teachings.
    I live in America. We have the constitutional right of self protection AND to own firearms. When the demonic muslim hordes come for me……
    I will exercise my constitutional rights. To protect myself, family and bystanders. There is a move, by our muslim loving “leaders” to try and disarm the lawful citizens. This will fail. There is far to much at stake now to ever let this happen. Once the people come to realize just how dangerous these muslim immigrants are, they will wake up! Like a dash of ice water in the face, they will come to their senses. Then this nonsense will stop.
    But I fear that many more innocent women and children will be victims first. Sad but true.

    When the Islamic world including Islamic communities here in the civilized world deal effectively and humanely with these extremely troubling issues a within their own cultures, then perhaps we can start to deal with this so-called “islamophobia” that we keep on being accused of for not surrendering and submitting to a backwards, inhumane, violent, deceitful, totalitarian theocracy.

    What about Pakistani Islam-derived Infidelphobia? The country is well on its way to completing the full elimination of all remaining non-Muslims and their “systems of belief”, and Pakistani Islamists and the state still works towards the eradication of Hinduism on the Subcontinent (a project started by the Arab Muslim imperialist invaders into Central and South Asia in the late 7th century).

    I take all these increasing complaints against Islamophobia as a really, really good and hopeful development because the one weapon that non-Muslims have against Islam – namely, the Truth about Islam – is beginning to take hold and gain traction.

    Muslims tell us to read the Quran. Well, we have. And we don’t like what we find there, But reading the Quran and all its exhortations to wage war against the kafir until all the world submits to Islam has given us all explanation of the 1400 years of Islamic terror.

    “to urge all communities to develop tolerance and respect for each other”.

    Pakistan was established at the time the State of Israel was established and for the same but very different reasons. Pakistan was created because of fear of continued killings of non-Muslim Indians in an Islamophobic mentality caused by Islam’s brutality and violent evangelism. Israel was created to find a safe home for Jews fleeing genocide caused by Muslims and others.
    As is obvious today, there are many reasons to be Islamophobic, among them, a fear of destruction of one’s faith, civilization, and life when Muslims are present in a society where they believe that they can instill enough terror.to drive others to dhimmitude.
    Another irony: the State of Bangladesh was also created for a place for Indian Muslims to have a home on the eastern part of India, and Pakistan and Bangladesh went to war with one another. PEACE!

    “Islamophobia” enmasse cannot be a phobia over such a long period. It’s a war word, a nonsense word, almost as bad as the word “God” the indefinable, with respect to the fact that “Islamophobia” is almost as difficult to challenge.
    It is as a cloud as a platform from which to spew Islamic and apologistic venom and tortured truth over the minds of the infidels to keep the infidels focused on a cloud while the breeding behind the scenes grows to the critical number for the next stage of war, between whom i’m not sure anymore. Traitors and liars abound.

    PROPHET(SA) ATTITUDE TOWARDS NON MUSLIM:

    a) Morality

    The most obvious facet of Prophet Muhammad’s attitude and behavior towards non-Muslims is the fact that he never compromised his moral virtues. As the Qur’an states, the Prophet always showed “the most beautiful morality” and presented humanity with the most beautiful example of this morality. He was referred to as “Trustworthy Muhammad” (Muhammad al-Amin) and acted this way toward all people, whether they were believers or not. Although non-Muslims, who were fiercely opposed to him, accused the Prophet of rejecting the traditional teachings, eradicating the common religion and concept of society, and changing the religion of their ancestors, they never accused him of deceit or mendacity in his words or attitude. In fact, the Prophet climbed Mount Safa during the early period of his prophethood in order to publicly convey the message of Islam to the people of Mecca. From this mountain, he addressed the people gathered there: “O Quraishis, if I inform you that an aggressor’s army is behind this mountain advancing toward you and is ready to attack you, would you believe me?” They replied in unison, “Surely, we would consider such a report from you as absolutely correct, because we have never heard you telling a lie.” The Prophet continued: “Well, I inform you that a great torment is quite near you. Allah has told me to warn my closest kin. I can help you neither in this world nor in the afterlife if you do not proclaim that there is no god but Allah.” (Balazuri, I. 120). That the Prophet was trustworthy, defended justice, sided with the poor and weak, gave importance to familial relations, emphasized the rights of parents, and had many similar characteristics are all matters of historical record. That he had such a character indicates his uniqueness. The Prophet continuously warned the Muslims to treat the non-Muslims using positive behavior and attitudes. For instance, addressing Muaz, whom he had sent to Yemen as a governor, a place that was largely inhabited by the People of the Book at that time, he said: “Avoid being cursed by the aggrieved, because there is no barrier between their curse and that of Allah” (Bukhari, Zakat 41, 63, Magazi 60).

    b) Patience

    The Prophet showed endless patience while conveying the message of Islam to the non-Muslims. He never tired of speaking to people and sharing with them the monotheistic belief which is the essence of the religion. He was always sincere in his relationships and he abstained from useless polemics or quarrels. As is stated in the Holy Qur’an, the Prophet always treated people well; he used kind words and avoided rude and aggressive behavior. As a matter of fact, despite the rude behavior of some of the communities he encountered while spreading the religion, the Prophet curbed his anger and asked Allah for salvation for them. For instance, when Prophet Muhammad went to Ta’if with Zayd ibn Haritha in search of a freer environment in which to convey the message of Islam due to the increasing pressure in Mecca, the leading figures in Ta’if treated him rudely and ordered the people to stone him and drive him out of the city. In response to this sad experience, Prophet Muhammad prayed that the people of Ta’if would be granted deliverance. It was due to his kind and forgiving attitude that the people did not refuse to listen to his message; rather, they considered it and decided to accept Islam, despite their initial opposition.

    It was due to his kind and forgiving attitude that the people did not refuse to listen to his message; rather, they considered it and decided to accept Islam, despite their initial opposition.

    c) Constructiveness

    Prophet Muhammad never coerced people when communicating Islam to them. He never forced them to accept the messages he was conveying in line with the principle, “There is no compulsion in religion” (Al-Baqarah, 256). He did not listen to those who advised or desired the use of violence to bring people to Islam and always remained distant from such people.

    The Prophet was always constructive in his relationships with people, whether they were believers or not. In particular, he maintained good relations, particularly in the Medinan period, with the Jewish tribes and the Arab polytheists with whom he lived as long as they did not show hostility towards the Muslims and did not violate any mutual treaties. Prophet Muhammad saw no harm in different communities living together, with each community contributing something useful to society. For instance, Muslims and non-Muslims were able to live together in peace in Medina under the agreement known as “The Medina Document”, which was signed by the different groups living there in the early Medinan period. The different communities undertook common responsibilities to form a society; this situation could continue as long as the provisions of the agreement were not violated. The Prophet even worked with some Arab polytheists who had been prisoners of war. For instance, after the Battle of Badr, the Muslims benefited from the ability to read and write that some of the idolaters and prisoners had: in return for their release, they taught the Muslims how to read and write.

    d) Respect for Basic Rights and Freedoms

    Prophet Muhammad focused on the humanity of the people he addressed, rather than on their differences in faith, ideas and lifestyles. In other words, he behaved in line with the idea that the people around him were human and possessed a life and soul. He did not base his actions on whether they were Muslim or not. For instance, in Medina the Prophet stood up before a passing funeral procession. His companions said to him: “O Prophet, that man was not a Muslim.” In response to this, the Prophet emphasized the quality of being human, a common feature that all people share, with the following words: “Did he not have a soul?”

    The Prophet guaranteed the lives, property, honor and freedom of religion of the non-Muslims who lived among the Muslims, and he put a great emphasis on these issues. Islam gives great importance to the protection of basic values in the religion. As a matter of fact, the protection of life corresponds to the basic right to live, the protection of religion corresponds to the freedom of belief, the protection of the mind corresponds to the freedom of faith, the protection of property corresponds to the freedom to be able to earn capital and property, the protection of the generations corresponds to the freedom to have a family. These constitute the fundamental rights that humans have according to Islam. These rules apply not only to Muslims, but to all human beings. Accordingly, Prophet Muhammad protected these basic rights in the society in which he lived, whether the people were Muslim or not. He made clear the approach that must be taken towards those non-Muslims who agreed to live in an Islamic state with the following words: “He who torments non-Muslims torments the Messenger of Allah. Accordingly, he who torments the Messenger of Allah torments Allah.”

    Ruling with Justice

    Prophet Muhammad was always an unbiased arbitrator and leader who acted justly to defend the middle ground. His ability to arbitrate was recognized not only by the Muslims, but also by the non-Muslims. Probably for this reason, the non-Muslims asked him to arbitrate in the conflicts that occurred with the Muslims from time to time and in the problems they had amongst themselves. For some of the legal problems that occurred among the Jews, the Prophet ruled according to Jewish law. His commitment to justice and his reliable character were well-known long before he became a prophet. For example, he arbitrated in a disagreement among the Quraishis in Mecca regarding who should replace the al-Hajar al-Aswad (the Black Stone, considered holy even before the advent of Islam, as it is said to have descended from heaven) in the walls of the Ka’ba after renovations had been completed on the building. By finding a way for the tribes to cooperate equally in the task, he prevented a tense situation from escalating into war.

    In daily life, Prophet Muhammad continued to have socio-economic relations with the non-Muslims; from time to time he gave and took loans from non-Muslims. There is a very interesting account of how the Prophet pawned his armor to a non-Muslim in return for a sum of money. According to Aisha, the Prophet passed away while his armor was still in pawn to a Jew (Bukhari, Jihad 89, Maghazi 86; Muslim, Musaqat 124-126). Also, within the scope of the good relationships he had established with other people, the Prophet always accepted invitations from non-Muslims and listened to them. In fact, once he accepted an invitation from a Jewish man who then tried to assassinate him.

    Guarding the Cultural Differences

    Although Prophet Muhammad guarded the basic rights and laws of the non-Muslims in terms of human relations, he always took care to be different from them in terms of culture and tradition. He emphasized that Muslims should take care not to resemble non-Muslims in their traditions or the way they cut or wore their hair and beards. In many of his speeches, the Prophet warned the Muslims about these points. For example, he said, “Jews and Christians never dye their hair. You should not act as they do.” (Bukhari, Anbiyâ 50, Libâs 67). On the issue of how to call the people to prayer, the Prophet did not approve of the idea of using horns or bells since these practices would resemble those of the Jews and Christians.

    In his attitudes towards non-Muslims, Prophet Muhammad never exhibited a collective approach that placed everybody on the same level; he always was aware that people have different strengths. It is significant that in the Meccan period he sent some Muslims who were overburdened by the oppression of the idolaters to Abyssinia, the state of the Christian ruler who was known for his justice, and said; “… That place is a land of truth. Stay there until Allah saves you from your predicament.” On the other hand, it is known that the non-Muslims, polytheists and the People of the Book occasionally were violent, hateful and hostile to the Prophet and the Muslims and their envy and jealousy of them was evident. The Holy Qur’an explicitly mentions the attitudes of the non-Muslims towards the Muslims, in particular those of the Jews and Christians who are considered the People of the Book. In the revelations imparted in Mecca related to the attitudes to be adopted towards non-Muslims (for instance, Al-Ankabut 46-47), it is commanded that Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims behave kindly towards the People of the Book and that the commonalities between them be emphasized. It is emphasized that the People of the Book also believed in the revelation that had been revealed to the Prophet. When these statements related to the Meccan period are taken into account, it is obvious that it was expected that the People of the Book, who came from a tradition of revelations, would accept the revelations imparted to Muhammad.

    These expectations continued for a while, even after the emigration of the Muslims to Medina. The Treaty of Medina, guaranteeing the coexistence of the various groups living in Medina with respect for each others’ presence and faith, was one of the first actions undertaken by Prophet Muhammad after arriving in Medina; this treaty also included the Jews and those who made treaties with them. Article 16 of this treaty guaranteed that the Jews who were the subjects of the Muslims according to the treaty would be allowed to continue their lives “without tyranny and without aid to their enemies.” Articles 18, 24, 37 and 45 specify the liabilities of those who signed the treaty in relation to issues of mutual defense and expenditures, whereas in Articles 23, 36 and 42 it is emphasized that Prophet Muhammad was the sole authority on the text of the treaty and the authority to be referred to in times of conflict. However this treaty did not last long and the Jewish tribes that had signed it violated the agreement one at a time. The Jews in Medina also strongly opposed the Muslims much like the Arab polytheists in Mecca did. Many Jews did not accept the revelation that Prophet Muhammad conveyed and acted together with the Arab polytheists against the Muslims.

    The Holy Qur’an mentioned that the People of the Book fell into disagreement because of extreme actions and jealousy among themselves; in response to this, Allah told the believers the truth about their disagreements (Al-Baqarah 213, Al-i Imran 19). The Qur’an also emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad was sent to them to explain the things that they had concealed (such as Allah) and so that he could bring them an illuminating and clear book from Allah and invite them to allow the book of Allah to rule over them (Al-i Imran 23, Al-Maida 15, 18).

      Wow! Great doublespeak!

      As painfully obvious, Pakistan, or any other Muslim dominated country isn’t exactly known for it’s stand on the ‘importance to freedom of expression’, so, of course he basically ends up contradicting that with, ‘refuse to allow insults’…

      Yeah, we know all too well what can happen in Pakistan if one ‘insults’ Islam.

      Hey, Sartaj, we value ‘freedom of expression’ here, and that doesn’t include ‘incitement to violence’, and you know it. You disingenuous scumbag.

      Another, anti-free speech-trying-to-push-Sharia ahole, rhetorically entangling the value of free speech (which may someitimes include ‘insult’) with ‘incitement to violence’.

      Mohammed, in his very own book, says he is an excellent example for man. He says it dozens of times….in his own book.

      Mohammed killed pagans, christians and jews. He erased Jews from Arabia. He beheaded hundreds of Banu Qurayza Jews. He participated in offensive, not defensive, raids on trading caravans in which people died. He said “I have been made victorious through terror”. He married and raped a child. He encouraged his men to rape the wives of enemy soldiers and when they hesitated he wrote Quran 4:24 to convince them that Allah thought such rape was good. Mohammed lit a fire on a man’s chest to try to force the man to tell his henchmen where the “gold loot” was hidden. My god the more I read about this “prophet” the more nauseous I get.

      Yet muslims still portray him as some sort of hero. That says a lot about Islam.

    “We are also witnessing an increase in instances of physical and psychological violence against Muslims and their businesses and places of worship. Muslim minorities are being alienated and marginalised. Many of them live in fear,” said Prime Minister’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz.

    That seems to be EXACTLY the situation of religious minorities in Pakistan! The only difference is that in Pakistan, in goes beyond verbal questioning of loyaty…In Pakistan, religious minorities are MURDERED in their places of worship, burned to death and kidnapped in ‘love jihads’.

    But Aziz isn’t concerned about dirty kafirs in Pakistan. They have it coming to them for not being Muslim.

    Since Sweden is famous for being a welfare state, gender equality and openminded, I am greatful to Jihad Watch for the opportunity expressing my views on reality.
    This man in a far away Pakistan most likely is not aware of the costs in Sweden for immigrants or refugees or what they are supposed to be called. Supposedly he thinks that it is no cost at all and that it could cost even more.
    50 billion SKR this year. Up from some 20-30 billion last year because of so called unexpected high influx. 7-8 SKR equals some $1. The evening news said tonight.
    Immigration costs more than defence.
    Immigration like this going on increasingly since 1990. Costing more each year. Mosques being built.
    Never been anything like it in Swedish history.
    Islam expanding. Muslims demanding more and more endlessly.
    Girls from Somalia and Ethiopia and such countries sitting behind boys from the same countries in classrooms studying the swedish language.
    The girls being dressed in unpractical, condescending muslim dresses, while the boys in jeans and western.
    It’s terrible to watch. As if that order is being the norm.
    How come? It’s appalling that it’s being allowed in schools in a country in Europe.

      And then there is the persecution of the deemed-heretical – the Shiites and Ahmadis and Bahaiis – by the dominant Sunnis….

      Pakistan is vile. Unutterably vile, and the more Islamic it becomes, the viler it becomes, day by day, descending slowly into the Void.

      It is a terrible pity that, at Partition, the population exchange was not *total*. Had ALL non-Muslims in what would become Pakistan and Bangladesh fled to India, and had ALL identifiable Muslims from what is now India been given the boot into Pakistan, India would be reaching for the stars, unhindered by the deadly drag of an ever-more-aggressive and expanding Muslim fifth column.. and Pakistan and Bangladesh would be even further down into the bottomless pit than they already are.

    Did this oaf express as much concern about the March 27 suicide bombing near the children rides of a public park, where Pakistani christians were celebrating Easter? At least 74 people—mostly Christian women and children—were killed and nearly 400 injured. “There was human flesh on the walls of our house,” recalled a witness (Ibrahim, 2016).

    How many people have died from a single incidence of islamophobia?

    Pakistan is a crap country. Most leaders are crap. A byproduct of poor leadership at a national level is poor quality citizenry. All Pakistanis learn in school and from religious leaders is to hate and blame, which is reflected in a sour, resentful and bitter national mood, and a state that aides and abettes terrorism, including feeding then Taliban dragon on the one hand through the national Intelligence and military apparatus, and on the other hand fighting to contain the monster that has turned against its master. So much money poured into both efforts. The key reason why Pakistan is poor and its people miserable shits. Paying the price of its own folly but learning nothing over all these years. Trapped in a self-created evil system and doomed to remain there. Other countries should steer clear. Let them stew in their self-created mess and come out of it when ready, and be accepted internationally. The last thing to do is accept them as migrants or refugees and bring their problems to the west. Britain is paying a dear price for precisely that grave error.

    But then it is also an ally of the US and Britain. It recieves billions of dollars in aid every year plus advanced weaponry, a bunch of shining new F-16s and attack helicopters are ready to reach while it’s army provides sanctuary to bin Laden, mullah Omar, al Jawahiri, Hafeez Saeed, Azhar Masood and such. A rabid Islamist nation that (along with it’s master the communist China) is at the epicentre of global nuclear proliferation and increasing it’s nuclear stockpile faster than any other country in the world including briefcase sized tactical nukes and officially calls it’s nuclear programme the ‘Islamic Bomb’!

    Here is something from the Jihadwatch archives, long long ago, on the subject of Pakistan.

    It appeared in the comments thread in 2007, after Muslims had attacked other Muslims at the so-called “Red Mosque”.

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2007/07/blast-near-islamabads-red-mosque-kills-11.html

    Comment by Mr Spencer’s formidably erudite friend, “Hugh Fitzgerald” (nom de guerre).

    “I recently picked up at a book sale a copy of “The Miscellany,” edited by P. Lal, and published in Calcutta. Issue #51 (June 1972), one of three devoted to the then recently-deceased, at age 41, of David McCutchion.

    “An Englishman, David McCutchion was a lover of India, not of the william-dalrympish sort, that is the kind who loves the luxe of the Moghul court and its love intrigues, nor the kind of Englishman (also william-dalrymplish) of the walking-across-half-a-continent-when-young sort, making use of local color of the human interest kind, often grizzled or wizened or wizenedly grizzled picturesque Muslims, to do the work for him (downmarket Byrons and Newbys, not to menton the now-unfashionable, because bookish, traveller Gide in “Le Retour du Tchad”), but a true scholar, an Indophile who studied brick temples in Bengal, and Indian writing, was a friend of Satyajit Ray and all sorts of interesting people in Calcutta who never get the attention in the West that all those anti-Western islamisant arundhati-roys manage to get.

    ‘
I read through The Miscellany #52 – and discovered a tribute from the Sanskrit (and Buddhism) scholar Richard Gombrich (son of E. H.), who opened his essay, titled “His Work Is Unrepeatable,” with this: “The recent death of Mr. David McCutchion in Calcutta at the age of 41 is a catastrophe for oriental studies.”

    ‘Gombrich describes McCutchion as a scholar who “devoted all his time, his money, and his exceptional energy and enthusiasm, to the study of arts and monuments which are fast disappearing. He tramped all over Bengal, both West and East, taking notes and photographs; his knowledge of the countryside was famous.
    ‘A self-taught photographer, he spared no pains to take the perfect shot; and he leaves well over ten thousand colour slides and as many black and white photographs of high professional quality…..His greatest specialities were Bengali temple architecture and terra-cotta sculpture, the latter a lost skill of whose monuments little is known to the wider world; he also studied and collected Bengali scroll paintings. He explored many other parts of India too, and recorded even Gupta temples previously unknown.”

    
And a little more, taken from a website:
    
“David McCutchion (1930-1972), English-born scholar, Indophile and early critic of Raja Rao, was an authentic pioneer: in his short lifetime…made a major contribution to the study of Bengali temples…one of the first scholars to write on the now much commented subject of Indian Writing in English….

    “Born in Coventry, David attended that city’s King Henry VIII Grammar School. He made it to Cambridge University the hard way, on intellectual merit alone. He read Modern Languages (French and German) at Jesus College. After graduating in 1953, he taught English for two years in southern France. He went to India in 1957. He worked there first as an English teacher…and later, as Professor and then Reader in Comparative Literature at Jadavpur University, Calcutta….
    “David’s ground-breaking study of Bengali brick temples, The Temples of Bankura District, was published by Writers Workshop in 1972.”

    
’David McCutchion lived through the war made by West Pakistan (now Pakistan) on East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, in 1970-71, a war in which Muslim fanatics in East Pakistan, locally called razakars, joined forces with the raping and murdering army of West Pakistan, accepting the argument that what was good for Pakistan – that is, staying one country – was necessarily good for Islam, and what was good for Islam was all that mattered.

    ‘
Here is how, in a letter from England to a friend, McCutchion described the behavior of Pakistan:

    
“…We are raising funds [for those in what was then East Pakistan being murdered by the army of West Pakistan and its local, fervently Muslim East Pakistani collaborators], and hope to see the Minister of Overseas Development.

    “What do I think of it all? Appalling…Pakistan should never have existed – it has cost more lives than the whole of the British Empire in 200 years.

    “What should I think of a culture that burns down the British Council library in Lahore because an English publisher printed a picture of Mahomet?

    “Fanaticism plus Machiavellianism plus brutality equals Islamic Pakistan.”

    “One More Time:

    “What do I think of it all? Appalling…Pakistan should never have existed — it has cost more lives than the whole of the British Empire in 200 years. What should I think of a culture that burns down the British Council library in Lahore because an English publisher printed a picture of Mahomet? Fanaticism plus Machiavellianism plus brutality equals Islamic Pakistan.”

    “Print out that last bit, and put it on your refrigerator, under the title: Pakistan.”
    Posted by: Hugh at July 27, 2007 2:18 PM

    And then, when the same mini-essay was reposted on July 28 2007, as a stand-alone article, another commented responded succinctly:
    ‘
    “Hugh, could we not go further and say:
    “Fanaticism plus Machiavellianism plus brutality equals Islam.””

    Reading through many of the posts here, it begs the question: has ANYBODY read the Qur’an? There is NO (well lets call it a religion for the moment) religion that is pure barbaric slaughter of anyone who doesn’t believe as they do. Secondly, it is not a religion but a perverted form of government that violates every form of human rights to the point of setting people on fire to raping and killing woman for their own personal beliefs. How could any sane person possible accuse someone of islamophobia, AKA see it my way or I label you crazy…then if you don’t stop believing as you wish get your head hacked off.

    Ironically, this “religion of peace” cries out, especially in America where we have a Constitution protecting it, “religious freedom” so Islam has the freedom to demand that nobody else has religious freedom or have your head hacked off.

    Now the disparity between Jihad and other Islam practicing Muslims I equate to a Born Again Christian verses a Lutheran. Some Muslims like Lutherans carry their religious book and go to a place of worship; as a Born Again Christian lives every Word of the Bible, Jihad is living every word of the Qur’an…and we should be insulted into allowing Islam to spread this barbaric religion with the term islamophobia?

    The creation or carving out of Pakistan is one of the biggest curses for mankind starting with 20th century. You have Pakistani terrorists(Islamic ONLY) doing some shady and evil nut job (making bombs and killing etc) from Phillipines to San Francisco. Muslims have a tendency link Islam to all their accomplishment both good and evil to Islam and thus reinforcing their supremacists culture where ever they go.

    This must be hegemony by Islamist must be broken by every man through all the communication tools possible. Europe is being slaughtered in a regular fashion and perhaps they deserve that for their rudderless and characterless leaders. But it is not going to be easy for Pakistan and middle east muslim nations with semi “free” nations who have dealt with Islamic threat and terror appropriately from time to time. It is high time US, Europe, OZ etc take some cue from China, India,Russia etc about dealing with Islamic threats and terror.

    They bomb, kill and maim us, then they call for calm because they are terrified of an Islamophobic backlash – oh brother!

    Mind you, it would be a good idea to outlaw severe blasphemy and the incitement of violence, killing and denigration of members of other religions. Then we can outlaw Islam as such, and the Quran and the other ‘writings’. Currently I can only think of the AfD in Germany and Gert Wilders in the Netherlands to actually take that step.

    Would be interesting to hear what they say then.
