“Babu is supposed to have desecrated the Qurʾān in secret, but then left the evidence for everyone to see.”
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a tool used to oppress, terrorize and defraud Christians. But the “human rights community” is too preoccupied with “Islamophobia” to take any notice.
“Lahore: Evangelical Christian accused of blasphemy for tearing up pages of the Qurʾān,” Asia News, January 5, 2017:
Lahore (AsiaNews/Agencies) – An evangelical Christian from the village of Kamahan, near Lahore, was arrested on charges of blasphemy and now faces the death penalty.
According to a complaint by a Muslim, Haji Nadeem, Shahbaz Babu desecrated Islam’s holy book by writing his name on some pages, tearing them up and then scattering them on the street in front of a mosque where a Muslim, Peer Baba Gujjar, preaches.
According to British Pakistani Christian Association, the Christian man is completely illiterate, so he could never write his name on any pages.
Still Babu was arrested on 30 December in accordance with Article 295B of the Pakistan Penal Code. After the complaint, Babu, 41, a married father of three, was taken to the Nishtar police station.
Later, to avoid possible reprisals from Muslims and to ensure his protection, the accused was moved to the Model Town station, in another district of Lahore.
Activists note that no one saw him write his name in the Qurʾān. Instead, the complaint could be a retaliatory act against his family, because the accuser is in a dispute with Babu’s brother George Masih who owns a thriving grocery store, which Nadeem wants to take over.
The Evangelical Christian is also disliked by local Muslims for organising prayer meetings at his home. For 15 years, many Christians, but also several Muslims, have participate in his meetings and have asked for his blessings and healings.
Some of the accused’s friends believe that his increasing popularity has fuelled a climate of intolerance among Muslims, especially since Peer Baba Gujjar’s mosque was losing members.
Others also point out the oddity of the sequence of events: Babu is supposed to have desecrated the Qurʾān in secret, but then left the evidence for everyone to see.
In Pakistan, insulting Muhammad is a capital crime. Anyone speaking out against the ‘black law’ of blasphemy risks life and liberty….

lagitane says
This is exactly what totalitarian ideologies do. In the former Soviet Union, all you had to do to get your relative moved into the apartment next door to you was “snitch” on the current occupant, make up charges that he or she was an enemy of the people (a “blasphemer” who pissed on “Das Kapital” instead of the Koran), and the goons would swoop in at 3 AM and viola – an apartment is now vacant for your relative! How nice it would be if someone would just drop a million pissed on and dog chewed Korans over one of those Muslim enclaves in Michigan . . .
gravenimage says
True, lagitane.
Islam the religion of killers says
“but also several Muslims, have participated in his meetings and have asked for his blessings and healings.”
It seams these muslims are not involved in blasphemy by attending the christian meetings ???
If Shahbaz Babu wanted to insult why on earth would he write his name on the insult ???
All this just for a grocery business !
The shear stupidity of muslims is staggering, everytime you think it can’t get worse ,,,, it does
gravenimage says
This is not just stupid–it is profoundly evil.
It is good to see a handful of Muslims (probably those considering apostasy) standing up for the victim–but it may not be enough to save the poor man.
boakai ngombu says
It is certainly profoundly evil.
one man’s life is now in jeopardy from an apparent falsified accusation. his wife and children are now without husband and father – family is broken up.
the brother, George, now has added concern for his brother. likely added expenses to care for Babu’s family, legal burdens and extremely painful gratuities to be paid for “proper” handling of the case, will fall to him. No doubt Babu – illiterate – helped with the work in the shop.
a prayer group, shall we say a congregation, is now exposed and threatened, certainly to be intimidated … but that ain’t all bad for the steadfast ….
and Nadeem, he relishes the upheaval, no doubt, because opportunity to control prices and favor the brothers – not Christians – will clear the neighborhood, should the congregation be disbanded
the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) must be gay, filled with delight, that such travail is being worked. Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) will be praised for depicting the finest ways to exert brutality and cruelty. and the slaves (Muslims) who gnash their teeth at this suspicious occurrence will put on their best grimaces until the death is exacted. such is the way of the malevolent, belligerent allah god, when the igNOBEL koran is treated carelessly (perhaps like the one detractor holding the damaged book with dirty hands).
little do they know the true power of the One who would truly enlighten them and show them how to be civil to their fellow countrymen. Babu’s prayer partners shall continue to pray for him, George, and even Nadeem, though they may not be seen doing so; and the One Unique God will hear their prayers
but Guijjar? he will lose out …. not strict enough … some of those stragglers needed a whipping and he didn’t do it. he should move away; journey, perhaps to find greater truth than what he now teaches (the prayer that Babu probably offered many times).
mortimer says
Trump cannot become president soon enough so that he can defend those like Shahbaz Babu.
Islam has lost the public relations battle throughout the world. Even the Leftards are turning away. They will soon have no supporters outside their community.
I predict Islam will soon be alienated by Western politicians as the pols try to keep up with their angry constituents.
Keith Gilbert says
I suppose my using the koran for toilet paper and pecker wipes would be viewed poorly!
Angemon says
I see it poorly because using bad toilet paper is a line no one should have to cross 😉
Susette says
Perhaps the koran pages will make for dandy menstrual pads!
boakai ngombu says
Susette, pardon my poor taste,
the pages are already filled with blood
no_one says
Muslims have no common sense or shame.
Gary says
Nonetheless…
The ultimate goal of the Muslim’s remains unchanged: undermining freedom and democracy while seeking to build a global Islamic state under Sharia law.
The sooner the world wakes up the better!

Robert, just saw a weird ad, football game, priest and imam…..knee pads ……then strange insurance ad ….is this strange …….just a note, it seems like double message, one of cooperation….but also complaining……the information war ……they are so clever……..to use the media …
gravenimage says
underbed cat, I think this story was covered by JW when it first came out, but I haven’t been able to find it. But here’s the disgusting, meretricious ad:
Wellington says
Loathe this add, gravenimage, one I have seen many times, as I just related to a rather liberal friend less than an hour ago when it was played during the Packers/Giants playoff game we were watching together at his home.
He didn’t quite get why I find this add so egregious and obsequious but, as usual, those on the Left side of the political spectrum are far more likely to be clueless about Islam’s many nefarious aspects than those on the Right, and God knows many on the Right (e.g., Mitt Romney) are clueless enough in this regard.
It’s an uphill struggle, no doubt, in order to insure liberty survives against one of the ultimate enemies of freedom ever——-Islam. I for one will never give up this fight as I know you never will. After all, better dead than dominated by Islam. Not even a close call actually.
BTW, I know from over the years here at JW that you are more liberal than I am. But you are a throwback to old-fashion liberalism which has largely been replaced by the idiocy of leftism. Many times, because of your in-depth knowledge of Islam and your immense amount of common sense and moral intelligence, you are (how ironically) actually to the right of clueless so-called conservatives like McCain and Romney. Oh yeah, I couldn’t make this stuff up.
Goofy and upside-down world, no? But there are some certainties even in such a world and one of them for me is that I can ALWAYS count on you being reasonable and precise. For this, I thank you immensely, my friend.
sog says
Perhaps Allah put the evil aspects into the Koran and the Hadith that we may know evil. Perhaps the moments depicted in the Amazon ad is at a time when we all know that “turn the other cheek” is holy whereas we all also know that “strike their necks” is demonic.

Well, *that* sounds plausible…sarc/off

As is so often the case with these trumped up “Blasphemy” cases, the purpose is not just to harm Christians, but also to take what they have created.
God, I hate Islam.

“the “human rights community” is too preoccupied with “Islamophobia” to take any notice”
– This is because Muslim/Islamic organizations (state sponsored and independent) are buying/influencing the media.
It may sound paranoid, but it’s true. I have proof for anyone that is willing to listen. “They” are paying individuals to pose as secular and even right wing, and promote pro Islamist ideas. An example of a quasi/pretend secular, paid to promote Islam/Islamization of the West is “Craig Considine”.
The accusations of Islamophobia, racism, pro Muslim demonstrations, pro Muslim news organizations and websites, etc.. are not at all random. It is not by chance that they are pro Islamic. Everything that you’re seeing, the hypocrisy in the media, the slanderous accusations of any rational organization or people as bigots and the like, is all organized. If you try to warn of the dangers of Islam, you will get pegged as a bigoted extremist, a racist or an Islamophobe. And you people have no counter to it. Simply whining about it on this site is not going to make the problem go away. They/Islam/Muslims are winning this war. Slowly, but surely, they are taking over.

John
Your post here is an exact copy of the one on the Fort Lauderdale shooter thread.
Ergo — my response here is the same as mine was there — sans the preamble.
You say — ” running this website itself will not make any difference”.
A comment that is both bland and obtuse , at best.
This site provides ( for one thing) an insight into the machinations of violent Jihad, thus giving Joe citizen a viewpoint the PC shackled MSM are too cowered to provide.
By all accounts sites such as Jihad Watch and the like, are crucial to informing people of the real threat they face in the form of Islamic fanaticism.
You also say “you people have no counter to it” and ” Simply whining about it on this site is not going to make the problem go away” and “But running this website itself will not make any difference “.
WELL Johnny Boy, it seems as if this site is not proactive enough for you.
Tell me John, seeing that you’re SO vocal about affirmative action —- what have you done personally in that regard.
If your answer to that is NOTHING — then don’t belittle the Admin and posters on this site for doing a lot more than that.
Either pull your head in or get the hell out there and DO whatever you think we here are NOT doing.

Just a fantasy.
If the guy holding that Qur’an had accidentally dropped it–I wonder how long it would’ve taken his buds to kill him?
Jan Favre says
Not as long as a proven Islamist does this. They even to tore pages of the Quran in order to persecute Christians.
PRCS says
Ah, shucks.
There went my fantasy.
peter says
Two great dangers. One, Muslims have up to 4 wives. Each Muslim woman has four or more children. Two, each jihadist assassin kills 5, 10 or 20 or more “infidels”. Their plan, to outnumber us.
FYI says
Since moslems believe their koran comes from God perhaps they would like to explain..
1)why “allah”/mahomet in his infamous “slay the unbeliever” teaching of koran 2:191 is in total conflict with God’s SIXTH COMMANDMENT{“Thou shalt not kill”} given by Moses to mankind???
How did “allah”/mahomet miss that one?
2)What true prophet would ever encourage the breaking of God’s commandments or live his life in defiance of God’s laws?
Yet mahomet did.
3)Since the koran clearly disagrees with God’s Commandments given to Moses and rejects Christ that means that..
the koranic “allah” is NOT the same as the Biblical GOD.
“allah” is NOT God…”allah” is a counterfeit caricature of the True God-the God of Moses,Elijah,Jesus Christ,the Apostles,the God of the Commandments (that the koran’s “allah”/mahomet happily ignores and encourages his followers to break)..
The True God{the Judeo-Christian or Biblical revelation} is revealed as the author of the Two Chief Commandments to be… a God of Love.
The Islamic “allah” /mahomet in contrast is an anti-Christian,anti-Jewish,sectarian,lingustically challenged,misogynistic,violence loving bully obsessed with his own glory:the complete opposite of the True God,just as mahomet was the complete opposite of Christ.
Why the True God allows the counterfeit “allah” is to separate the wheat from the chaff:-
“They will perish because they did not welcome and LOVE THE TRUTH so as to be saved”
And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false”
2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-11
So you see moslems believe the falsehood of their beliefs because the power of error is upon them
and they will be condemned…UNLESS they turn to Christ and the True God.
PRCS says
While it’s true that Islam has been crafted from a hodgepodge of other religions, and is utter nonsense, would you be O.K. with them turning to, say:
Buddhism
Hinduism
Judaism
Jainism
Atheism
Etc.
Or does it HAVE to be Christianity?
Susette says
I’m even okay with them having no religion. No religions is far better than islam.
Sam Kent says
I do not understand the insanity of calling someone an islamophobe because they protest 7th century atrocities which are going on all over the world. Heading into my 9th decade, I wonder: am I getting senile and imagining this stuff. Hell no! It is real. And these cry baby liberals, sickos, who are scared to death of Trump? Unbelievable. Past generations of Americans like those from WWII would just kick ass, and of course a leader like Trump would be chosen. But they are gone, and what is replacing them is what is frightening. Calling someone an islamophobe? It just happens to be a convenient word to pronounce. And how meaningless in the face of reality. And a President who could not say Islamic terrorist? Of course, he is a bloody traitor, and should have been impeached if only for the fact that he created his own laws which are the purview of the House of Representatives. He exceeded his powers, and no action was taken. Insane! Totally insane. Getting back to the concept of islamophobe, we need a term to throw back at these crazy progressives, liberals, progressive liberals, whatever. What word combines the concepts of cowardice, suicidal tendencies and treachery? But name calling still doesn’t hack it! Their argument? If we oppose the terrorism, monitor mosques or whatever, we are being discriminatory, we are offending them, and then the liberals say we are encouraging the young Muslims to join ISIS. What wimps!! What incredible wimps. I am afraid that it will take blood shed in the streets to wake us up. We were chastised for putting our Japanese citizens in camps during WWII, and so are fearful of following that path again. We were at war. It was not a usual situation. December 7th was a shock! At least the Japanese were well-treated and not turned into skeletons as would have happened under tyrannical regimes. That says something about America. We are a good people. Then we had 9/11 and tens of thousands have been killed by Jihadists since then. Do we really think this is going to go away? Never! And look at Britain with their cowardly leadership! And the Brits! So tough, now so lame. And those such as myself being accused of hate mongering! It is all beyond belief. The hate emanates from the content of the Koran. The contrast to the Bible is like God to Satan. And the liberals say, well, there were also terrible laws in the Bible. Yes, there were, but they are not activated upon in our modern era. The Koran is the present day set of instructions that drive Islamic terrorism. Big difference! The answer to all of this? We must keep writing, we must keep at our representatives. Conservatives are not given to protesting in the streets. We have more dignity than that. But we must have ourselves heard, or suffer ignominious defeat. Worse, our inaction will bring terrible grief and horrific mayhem to so many not yet alive. That is unforgivable! There is no other option, but to speak out and tell the truth. The catastrophe of the future, pray it never happen, will be upon the shoulders of those who were silent and did nothing.

I guess when your holy book tells you that you are “the best of people”, you can justify committing evil against the apes and pigs (non-Muslims). Gujjar will meet his maker one day – God help him then.

Muslims accusing Christians of offense against Islam when the latter is nothing but blasphemy and heresy is preposterous.
