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

Pakistan: New party gaining popularity by insisting that “blasphemers” must be put to death

Jul 12, 2018 1:04 pm By Robert Spencer

“Ahead of Pakistan’s general elections later this month, the newly established Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party is gaining traction with its anti-blasphemy agenda.”

This is because its Islamic message resonates with the serious Muslims in Pakiustan. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.

These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)

Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad bin Maslama answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)

“Blasphemers should be put to death, says one Pakistan party as elections near,” World Watch Monitor, July 11, 2018:

Ahead of Pakistan’s general elections later this month, the newly established Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party is gaining traction with its anti-blasphemy agenda, Al-Jazeera reports.

The party calls for blasphemers against Islam to be put to death and for those who kill alleged blasphemers to be celebrated. Its election posters often feature images of those who have killed for blasphemy – among them Mumtaz Qadri, who was put to death for murdering the Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer for the latter’s criticism of Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws and support for a Christian woman on death row, Asia Bibi.

According to Al-Jazeera, at least 74 people have been killed since 1990 following accusations of committing blasphemy. Many more have been arrested and tried.

Pakistan has the most stringent blasphemy laws in the world, and they have been used disproportionately against religious minorities – Pakistani Christians make up only 1.5 per cent of the total population, but over a quarter (187) of the 702 blasphemy cases registered between 1990 and 2014 were against Christians.

The head of the TLP, Khadim Hussain Rizvi, is a scholar who blocked a major highway into the capital, Islamabad, with thousands of his supporters in November, protesting against a change to an electoral oath that Rizvi claimed amounted to blasphemy. The federal minister resigned over the protests….

      Rarely, they are determined to destroy what little they have to create a Sharia paradise … also known as HELL ON EARTH.

      They will destroy Pakistan and the earth … they will try to take over Pakistan’s nukes.

      This desire for strong blasphemy laws will eventually and inevitably permit vigilantes to murder BLASPHEMERS on their own initiative and be given reduced or suspended sentences. This will cast a greater shadow across Pakistan than anything before. Everyone will live in constant fear of denunciation.

      Thoughtful, independent people will have to leave Pakistan and the country will go further downhill.

      There are many studies out there concerning suicide as to WHY???
      Well that follows true with those, supposedly nonbelievers in Islam,who think that if we accept some of their religious believe and put them into practice then we can coexist and everyone will have a happy face and flowers and candy and milk and honey will flow aplenty.
      There is plenty of proof out there that Muslims and their so called religion will swallow you up if you bend to their lies.

    We just encountered a lovely Haji woman covered head to toe in a black burqa, peeking through her ninja slot turret while shopping at Trader Joe’s with her handsome bearded hubby and child.
    Thankfully they were treated by store patrons and employees with complete tolerance and respect,…unlike a couple sporting his and hers MAGA hats, or a Klansman proudly dressed in his similarly peaceful organization’s traditional robes would have been.

      OFBSIR, the full veil is a sign of a complete TOTALITARIAN who hates KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’.

      We should inform them that 60% of the teachings of Islam are illegal in most countries. Why be a Muslim if it is illegal to practice MOST of Islam?

      Oh, if you could only hear the thoughts going through their Mohammadan minds then you would feel like fool. I know those thoughts because I know their ideology. I’ve even known several, apparently, very nice Mohammadans. As Frank Gaffney once said: “Often they are the nicest guy in the room.” Over time, though, they show themselves to be as vile as their ideology.

      I hope you are not foolish enough to think that you will get the same lovely treatment when the demographic numbers are reversed.

      My treatment of them is simple: they don’t exist; I ignore them. My battle is with the arrogant, willfully uninformed fools who enable their hijrah.

      • mortimer says

        Jul 12, 2018 at 11:42 pm

        Flavius, my observation is that Muslims think anyone who doesn’t understand their doctrines is stupid. They laugh at Westerners who think they can be true friends with Muslims. That’s not going to happen because of Islam’s doctrine of apartheid: AL WALAA WAL BARAA.

        AL WALAA WAL BARAA is Islam’s Heart of Darkness and practically ZERO Westerners know that.

    How about researching how many members of this party and their relatives have been allowed visas to speak in mosques or to come to the West? The public needs to see the direct connection between extremist foreign elements and Western Islam. Foreign funding of mosques, religious and political education needs to be made illegal. Foreign immans should not be allowed visas. The foreign funding, literature and immans is a Trojan horse and needs to be stopped.

Well, they’ve already found ways of blaming hundreds of young girls in the the UK for carelessly allowing themselves to be raped by ‘asian’ persons unknown.

    As for the subject of having “Blasphemy laws” in the Muslim nation of Pakistan. This is yet further proof that Islam is, in essence, such a weak and fragile religion that it can’t stand up to or hold up to criticism of any kind . No matter how very mild that criticism might be

    Here’s some choice blasphemy for these crackpots to consider.
    “Allah” is the imaginary pagan moon god stolen by Mohammed to be the deity of his death cult he invented to increase his wealth and power.
    So-called prophet Mohammed (piss be upon him) was a narcissistic sociopath, mass murderer, plunderer, slaver, rapist, deceiver, self-confessed terrorist, misogynist and paedophile.
    The Koran is a jumbled mess of plagiarized ideas scavenged from other dubious “holy books” and cobbled together into an incoherent melange of hatred and demented threats towards anyone doubting it is “noble”. If it was conceived by a god then said god was an illogical, ignorant, self-obsessed, spiteful cretin.
    The “Ummah” is populated by deluded, inbred, racist supremacists who are incapable of critical enquiry into the dogmatic theological pig swill they are fed from soon after birth who threaten death to anyone sufficiently sane to reject it yet claim to be victims of racism and “Islamophobia” themselves.
    Islam itself has been a 1400 year scourge upon the human species worse than cancer, plague, syphilis, the black death and AIDS combined. It is the biggest threat to civilisation and the future freedom of our progeny, worse than anything that could be imagined.
    There’s my two pennysworth of “blasphemy” for these superstitious, pompous, dangerously deranged imbeciles to consider.

    He looks exactly like a false prophet himself.His prophet muhammed admitted in al tabari 6:111

    “I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him things he has not said”

    Would muhammed not qualify for bearing false witness against God?By his own admission..yes!

    A true prophet of God{Moses,Elijah,Jesus Christ,John the Baptist}would KNOW what God’s wisdom is and they would know where it comes from:it comes from that aspect of God called His Holy Spirit{which allah himself doesn’t believe in since he rejects the theology of thee Trinity!So alalh doesn’t know where Biblical prophecy comes from…}Christians will get that but moslems won’t:alalh does not,in his koran,understand theology!

    A true prophet would preach OBEDIENCE,not disobedience to God’s Commandments.

    A true prophet would know the 2 chief commandments{muslims don’t as allah doesn’t appear to subscribe to them}

    Fraudulent “holy” men who think they can murder people on trumped up “blasphemy” charges will,on the basis of God’s Commandments,be themselves judged as murdererers.They are the very ones who will be condemned for the evil they do.

      Jul 13, 2018 at 6:12 am

      Mal, absolutely not. Blasphemy is a not a crime, at least not in England since 2008. All religions and irrational beliefs should be open to debate, scrutiny, criticism, ridicule, and insult.

    So Pakistan will be catching up to the UK then? Laggards.

    • IanB says

      Jul 13, 2018 at 6:19 am

      Leon, blasphemy is a not a crime, at least not in England since 2008. All religions and other irrational beliefs are open to debate, scrutiny, criticism, ridicule, and insult. As they should be.

      Such freedom of speech is upheld in section 29J of the Racial and Religious Hate Crime Act 2006:

      29J confirms that nothing in the Act “… prohibits or restricts discussion, criticism or expressions of antipathy, dislike, ridicule, insult, or abuse of particular religions, or the beliefs or practices of its adherents.”

      Therefore your comment about Pakistan catching up with the UK is both wrong and ludicrous.

      • Leondegrance2 says

        Jul 13, 2018 at 7:25 am

        Only since 2008? Pardon me.

        You know what is ludicrous? Letting in enemies of Western Civilisation by the millions into the EU and calling it a good idea. Actually that’s the wrong word. I think I’m looking for treason.

        • IanB says

          Jul 13, 2018 at 8:50 am

          What I stated above still applies to your comment. You implied that enforcement of blasphemy law in the UK is more stringent than in Pakistan. This suggestion is both wrong and ludicrous.

          The common law offence of blasphemy was finally abolished by statute in 2008. The last arrest for blasphemy was in 1992 of a school teacher in Birmingham. I can find no report of a trial so the charge must have been dropped.

          I agree totally with your second paragraph. The mass importation of Muslims into Europe has been disastrous and the consequences probably irreversible. Those responsible are traitors.

        • Leondegrance2 says

          Jul 13, 2018 at 9:13 am

          You can’t read this site and not understand there is a serious problem with the leftist government in the UK in regards to serious conversation on Islam. Shutting down speech on Islam, regardless of actual law, is a form of blasphemy control. There are numerous examples of this happening almost daily here. Do I need to list them for you?

  19. Joe says

    Jul 13, 2018 at 8:12 am

    I suspect that they like the blasphemy laws, because it takes away the remaining rights, though the minority has few rights, of the 3.5% of people who are not Muslim.

  20. Hogdude says

    Jul 13, 2018 at 6:39 pm

    It’s not hard to convert folks when it’s either life or death. Is it possible that an entire “religion” (Islam) could be the Anti-Christ? Just askin’.
