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

Pakistan allows three candidates on the UN terror watch to run in elections

Jul 26, 2018 5:16 pm By Robert Spencer

They’re from the “Allahu Akbar Tehreek [Movement].” But if the Western media and Muslim spokesmen are to be believed, shouldn’t Muslims with links to jihad terror be running as part of the Nothing To Do With Islam Tehreek?

“Pakistan permits three candidates on UN terror watch list to contest elections,” by Omer Farooq Khan, Times of India, July 24, 2018:

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday permitted at least three candidates who are on the terror watch list of the United Nations, to contest the general elections due Wednesday.

The three candidates fielded by Allahu Akbar Tehreek (AAT), Muhammad Ashraf, Zafar Iqbal and Ehsan Ranjha, are contesting from Punjab province on the tickets of Milli Muslim League (MML), a political face of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT), the proscribed terror outfits founded by the Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The MML was denied registration as a mainstream political party by the ECP, following which it fielded over 160 candidates under the banner of AAT, a least known entity but registered as a party with the ECP.

Ashraf is AAT’s candidate for the national assembly constituency in Sahiwal, while Iqbal and Ranjha are running for provincial assembly seats in Faisalabad and Mandi Bahauddin, respectively….

    Just the photo alone speaks volumes respecting what Islam is really all about. Yes indeed, sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Like here.

      Yes, Wellington, but as with Plato’s Cave, would this self-hating woman take the chance to be free of her prison if it were offered?

      The women are traumatized into the Islamic Stockholm Syndrome or Capture Bonding.

      Definition of Stockholm Syndrome: According to Thomas Strentz (FBI), the syndrome occurs as one or more of the following phases (or manifestations): (1) the hostages develop positive feelings toward their captors; (2) the hostages develop negative feelings toward the authorities; and (3) the hostage-takers develop positive feelings toward their hostages.

        I agree with this analysis save for the last–hostage takers almost never develop positive feelings for their victims, and they already hated the authorities.

        Hostage-takers are glad to take advantage of the fear of their hostages, though.

        Self hating, no more than a dog nayurally submits to its master. After all, Musloins submit to their god, allah as the natural course of life but hey do nt hate tgemselves for it. Knowing one’s place in the scheme of life is not self loathing but the result of indoctrination from birth. The problem with Western thinking, one that puts many at a disadvantage is that they cannot conceive of an alternative cultural universe that has such norms as Islam. The ultra liberal mind of the progressive is particularly vulnerabe because they are of the belief thst any culture outside that of the right is a victim of the right, hence their rabid reflexive defense of even Islam, a culture they should abhore. These progressves are so often arrogant and righteous in theiir beliefs that intellectual tools as simple as reading the Quran to confirm the truth is unnecessary.

      No thanks. We don’t want more “refugees” in Australia as a result.

      Looks like US authorities are not apt to repeat those mistakes now:

    The world’s first Islamic state is NOT ISIS.. It was and will always be Pakistan. The word’s first Khafr hating Islamic terror state was carved out of Indian soil in 1947 by India’s own Muslims..

    The Pakistan government controls some number of atom bombs.

    Time to be afraid ?

      Of course but they must not forget that the only ones who have used the nuclear force has been the USA to end a war against some crazy religious fanatics willing to commit suicide all before surrendering. With that kind of people it is impossible to deal, look now Japan is a modern society and a technological power. Muslims are still religious fanatics and it is possible that all this will end in a thermonuclear war. At some point we will have to make a drastic decision :them or us.

    Hey, eventually a government is going to get formed and they’ll need a Minister of Terrorism and Random Carbombing. So these three are a natural.
