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

Pakistan powerless to keep thousands of jihadis, rapists, and criminals off election ballots

Jun 23, 2018 10:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Pakistan’s election commission appears powerless to prevent the “political mainstreaming” of Islamic extremists and candidates charged with crimes ranging from corruption and rape to human smuggling and murder, rendering the country’s upcoming race a springboard for radicals and alleged criminals, according to several news reports.

Back in January, the Trump administration made the prudent decision to “suspend at least $900 million in security assistance to Pakistan until it takes action against the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network militant groups.”

To expect genuinely effective government action to be taken against jihad networks in Pakistan is naive. Instead, America and other free nations need to be vigilant in keeping Pakistani jihadists from entering their countries; yet this, too, is unlikely, given the globalist wide-open border agenda.

The Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) organization, a known affiliate of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) jihadist group that carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attack, launched the Milli Muslim League (MML) party this year…..JuD reportedly vowed to make the country a “citadel of Islam.”

Meanwhile, Canadian MP Iqra Khalid, who introduced Canada’s divisive “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103, and who also has unsavory connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian jihad, helped in the inauguration of Jinnah Park, named after the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. She “congratulated the Pakistani community in achieving this milestone.” Although Jinnah was not an adherent of political Islam, one wonders why a park in Canada would be dedicated in honour of Pakistan, a country that has developed into a state sponsor of terrorism, and is well known for its cruel blasphemy laws.

“Pakistan Fails to Keep Thousands of Jihadis, Rapists, Criminals Off Election Ballots,” by Edwin Mora, Breitbart, June 22, 2018:

Pakistan’s election commission appears powerless to prevent the “political mainstreaming” of Islamic extremists and candidates charged with crimes ranging from corruption and rape to human smuggling and murder, rendering the country’s upcoming race a springboard for radicals and alleged criminals, according to several news reports.

The sheer number of candidates linked to Islamic extremist groups of all shape, color, and sizes is making it difficult for the election commission to deny them registration. When the election body tries to do so, the candidate simply attaches his name to little known “dormant” political entities while maintaining their ties to banned terrorist organizations.

Besides the hundreds of candidates running under political parties linked to at least one U.S.-designated terrorist group and other jihadi organizations, Geo News reports:

[A]round 2,720 candidates contesting the elections face corruption, criminal, rape, dual nationality, money laundering, extortion, loans/bank defaulting, human smuggling and murder charges in Pakistan … The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-Pakistan) have awarded more tickets to such candidates as compared to other smaller political parties.

The Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) organization, a known affiliate of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) jihadist group that carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attack, launched the Milli Muslim League (MML) party this year…..

    All advanced democracies are dead. It’s no wonder that in Pakistan, which is hardly a democracy at all, they have problems also.

      St. Manuel II Palailogos has said before that he hates democracy and freedom.

      Using Pakistan–of all places!–to show why democracy is supposedly bad, could not be more ludicrous.

    Muhammad was a servant of shaitan. His first wife convinced him that the demon he was listening to was actually an angel–we only have Islam because a woman told Muhammad what to believe! So it is no wonder that a personality cult founded by a psychopathic schizophrenic would lead to such a pathologically psychopathic schizophrenic mess with regard to its nation’s rulers…

    All advanced democracies are down but dead. Yet. We can fight back, the masses outnumber the elites and their enablers and not to fight back will turn us into a islamic hell hole just like Pakistan. As the quote goes “I would rather die standing than live on my knees”. Choose!!!

      From what I have been reading I find that candidates running have committed about every criminal act under the sun.
      The end of Pakistan……well their end had already been.op

    “Pakistan powerless to keep thousands of jihadis, rapists, and criminals off election ballots”
    I don’t get it. I thought “jihadis, rapists, and criminals” was what Islam wants:

    And kill them wherever you find them (Quran 2:191) [Holy-sanctioned murder]
    kill them wherever you find them (4:89) [murder]
    kill them wherever you find them (4:91) [murder]
    they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides (5:33) [mutilation]
    We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (3:151) [terrorism]
    so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes. (8:12) [mutilation]
    smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them (47:4) [decapitation]
    but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then have sex with only one, or the captives and the slaves, that your right hands possess. (4:3) [rape]
    Allah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths. (5:89) [lying in public.]
    And fight in the Way of Allah. (2:190) [war.]
    And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). (2:193) [world conquest]
    Jihad (holy fighting in Allah’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims). (2:216) [divinely-sanctioned war]
    And fight in the Way of Allah and know that Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (2:244) [war]
    whoso fights in the Cause of Allah, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. (4:74) [paradise for those who die in holy war]

    And that’s just for starters. That’s not counting pedophilia (Muhammad’s child bride Ayisha (Sahih Bukhari 5, 234), and permissible lying (Reliance of the Traveller, r8.2), and Jew-hatred (We said to them: “Be you monkeys, despised and rejected.” [Quran 7:166]), and ignorance (O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble [Quran 5:101]), and camel pee (Sahih Bukhari 8,72,794). And of course, every Muslim is a potential hypocrite, so they have to watch each other constantly.

    So they’re getting everything Allah wants them to have. We might think it criminal, but that’s just our “relative truth” misleading us. If you’re a Muslim, then it can’t be criminal, because Allah says it’s good. Right?

      ” …To expect genuinely effective government action to be taken against jihad networks in Pakistan is naive…”

      so, what’s next for STATE and it’s efforts to instruct on maintaining Law and Order and ?

        Good question. But I am not a Muslim nor a Pakistani. So I can only answer it from my Western Christian perspective:

        The problem with Pakistan is the same problem with all countries ruled by Islam: they give criminal acts (as we Christians see it) divine sanction. And this is not godly. This is not just my opinion but is simply how all human culture works: you cannot say it’s okay to murder someone and not expect to have someone else judging you as a possible target of murder, you cannot repress someone else’s right to free speech and not expect someone to question your own right to free speech, you cannot condone slavery and not expect someone else to consider you a possible slave, etc, etc. No matter how good a Muslim you may be, there will always be another Muslim somewhere who will think you’re not so good a Muslim, no matter what the issue might be. So your candidates for public office will see it this way also. And since they’re allowed to lie as much as they want (“someone who makes up good news is not a liar” [Sahih Bukhari], and “Permissible Lying”, Reliance of the Traveller, r8), so will those who vote for them.

        God, just because He is God, cannot allow His people to do just anything. There are some things God cannot sanction, period. Otherwise, he is just another person. Because to sanction them even once allows evil to creep into His house. This is why Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It is why Jesus said, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” It is why Christians are not allowed to murder, lie, steal, cheat, covet, hate, etc. We may not always do that (God knows how imperfect we are), but that is the goal. To put it another way, as the World likes to put it (and not so kindly as Jesus nor with kindness at heart), “What goes around comes around.”

        So we Christians do have a foundation in reality.

        So now I will get off my pulpit. I will end with just this: Instead of wondering how to get criminals off the ballot (it seems a little late for that), and knowing that following the World is an evil thing, you might instead ask what “good” is.

    I thought that being a rapist, murderer, or terrorist was a requirement to get put on the ballot there.

    Only in Islam society we can find so many criminals at the same time and same place. That is the proof of Islam is the only true religion of Allah. LOL

    So many Jihadis and rapists are good Muslims, so this should not surprise.

      A good pious Muslim is criminal according to any humane and civil community. The Koran is the source and it is diabolical pure satanic.

    In the light of this .. Don’t U feel pity on us Hindus in having these beasts as our neighbors.. REALLY!! WE INDIANS ARE CURSED. And even our own Muslims favor Pakistan…

    Often in Pakistani jails, criminals who are doing time for horrendous crimes against society are given an option.. EITHER ROT IN THE JAIL/FACE THE GALLOWS or sneak across the eastern border to India and do Jehaad against Hindus, esp in Kashmir and redeem Urself in the eyes of Allah. Of course, there is a BIG RISK of getting gunned down by the Indian Army as well as the Indian Border Security Force (BSF).
    But even that is offered to these criminals as a chance for martyrdom in Jehaad.

    Needless to say, many of these crims pick up the Jehaad option because there is also a chance that they would manage to evade the Indian security forces and infiltrate deep into India and get lost in the crowds, esp in India’s HUGE MUSLIM ENCLAVES. Here Muslim leaders and their left libtrard crony friends welcome these creatures with open arms and give them FAKE INDIAN ID cards and even allow them to vote for them in Indian elections…

    In the West, if you’re a psychopathic arsole, you need some other sort of skill set to succeed in life – you know, like to become a successful corporate arsole. But in any given islamic country, simply being an arsole and a psychopath is enough to succeed in life there. All you need is the attitude of perpetual revenge on everyone else (“because nobody’s innocent”) for past wrongs collectively done to you, and you’re off to the races – just grab and thump on the nearest Qur’an, and declare your self to be an Imam!
    Instant success, because you really are honestly and accurately channelling the psychopathic arsole Founder of Islam himself!

    The Qur’an, being written by someone exactly like you, will back you up 100%!
