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

Pakistan: Anti-blasphemy party whose leader has vowed to nuke the Netherlands does well in elections

Aug 2, 2018 7:46 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Jihad Watch reported on July 8 that hundreds of candidates in the Pakistani elections were backed by jihad terror groups and supporters of blasphemy laws, and on July 11 that Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP)’s leader Khadim Hussain Rizvi said: “If they give me the atom bomb I would remove Holland from the face of the earth before they can hold a competition of caricatures… I will wipe them off the face of this earth.” Pakistan also allowed three candidates on the UN terror watch to run in elections.

Rizvi’s party did well in the elections:

A relatively new anti-blasphemy party whose leader has reportedly vowed to nuke the Netherlands should he ever come to power did surprisingly well in Pakistan’s elections last week.

This could lead to more severe persecution for Christians who already live a precarious existence because of Islamic blasphemy laws in Pakistan. A report by Christian watchdog Open Doors USA states:

Much of the Christian persecution in Pakistan comes from radical Islamic groups that flourish and expand under the favor of political parties, the army and the government…these radical Islamic groups run thousands of madrassas, Islamic education centers where youth are taught and encouraged to persecute religious minorities like Christians.

Lies about Christians committing blasphemy are the norm in Pakistan; blasphemy laws are used for settling personal scores and often “those who accuse Christians of blasphemy take the punishment for the ‘crime’ into their own hands, leading to beatings and killings.”

“Pakistan election sees rise of anti-blasphemy party,” AFP, July 31, 2018:

A relatively new anti-blasphemy party whose leader has reportedly vowed to nuke the Netherlands should he ever come to power did surprisingly well in Pakistan’s elections last week, which were tainted by the rise of extremist groups.

Islamic fundamentalist parties fielded more than 1,500 candidates in Pakistan’s provincial and national elections that were won by cricket hero turned politician Imran Khan.

Extremists were a major talking point going into the contest with politicians, including Khan, accused of pandering to their vote base by trumpeting hardline issues such as blasphemy.

Here AFP looks at how the main extremist parties fared during Wednesday’s polls.

– Anti-blasphemy party –

The performance of Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), led by radical preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi, will worry mainstream politicians and human rights activists the most.

The group, founded in 2015, entered the national consciousness last year when it blockaded the capital Islamabad for several weeks calling for stricter enforcement of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws.

It wants the automatic death penalty for anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or the Prophet Muhammad……

    AN ARGUMENT AGAINST ISLAM: NUCLEAR JIHAD PROVES THAT ISLAM IS FALSE.

    If Allah were real, he would have FORE-SEEN the building of NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

    If Allah were real, he would have TOLD MUSLIMS NOT TO DESTROY THE EARTH WITH NUCLEAR BOMBS.

    If Allah were real, he would have realized that NUCLEAR WAR WOULD NOT LEAVE ANYTHING FOR MUSLIMS TO RULE OVER! Allah would NOT have encouraged Muslims to conquer the earth militarily, seeing that NUKES will destroy everyone including 90% of Muslims.

    BECAUSE ALLAH did not FORE-SEE NUKES and the CONSEQUENT DESTRUCTION of a NUCLEAR JIHAD, therefore, ISLAM IS FALSE.

    If there were ever a NUCLEAR JIHAD, the non-Muslim world would band together to REMOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT EVER COMING TO POWER IN FUTURE.

    Following a nuclear jihad, it is highly likely that Islam would be banned worldwide as Bushido-Shintoism and Nazism have been.

    For Khadim Hussain Rizvi, ‘progress’ means ‘REGRESS’ back in time 1400 years to 7th century Arabia and its BRONZE AGE MENTALITY.

    Khadim Hussain Rizvi is one of the most RETROGRADE men on earth. About 250,000,000 Muslims agree with him according to opinion surveys.

    Are you worried yet? Pakistan has nukes.

    Tarek Fateh has already said that Pak will nuke India in the future as it gets bolder and bolder and also the insidious Indian Muslim population within India also explodes out of control.

    The only real reason that Muslim nations, as Pakistan, have “blasphemy laws” enacted is because Islam, with its many falsehoods, is such a weak and fragile religion that it can stand up to or hold up to criticism, at all. No matter how very mild those criticisms might be.

    Pakistan: Anti-blasphemy party whose leader has vowed to nuke the Netherlands does well in elections
    ……………….

    Who can be surprised by this?

    LOL – That’s very similar to the offer the U.S. made to then Pakistani PM Sharif in Sept 2001,… “If you don’t cooperate with the U.S., then we’ll bomb you right back to the Stone Age’.

    The huge difference is that immediately after 9/11, the U.S. dispatched 4 nuclear subs to join the 3 already stationed near the Pakistani coast. The U.S. had definite proof that a somewhat ‘renegade’ group within Pakistan’s CIA (SII) had aided bin Laden and his group. The threat by the U.S. was very real and when Sharif suddenly reversed his long opposition to U.S. policies and began actively helping with the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan escaped imminent destruction.

    What proof is there of this story? Well, 10 years later when Sharif was no longer the PM and he was living in London, a reporter asked him if this story was true. Sharif replied ‘Yes, and he was very, very rude’. Yup, telling someone you’re going to drop nuclear bombs on them in a few days time, is sort of rude.

    The new Pakistani PM is just trying to restore some national pride. He can be ignored.

      The idea that Pakistan has to threaten to nuke the Netherlands and to murder “blasphemers” to “restore national pride” is just bizarre.

      But this whole post is questionable at best.

    We should all fear Pakistan having nuclear weapons. They may well give it to other Muslims nations such as Iran should the need arise. It isn’t called the Islam Bomb in Pakistan for nothing.

    • jack reynolds says

      Aug 5, 2018 at 10:52 pm

      Islamic Bomb? … The Pakistani credited with ‘inventing’ their bomb, actually stolen the secrets from a small firm he was working at in Calgary Alberta. If he is ever caught outside of Pakistani he will be returned to Canada where he will be jailed.

      The Average Pakistani IQ is 84, so they’ll adapt to Stone Age living reasonably well.

    Why on earth do we send this country so much money n Foreign Aid?

    Let them sink or swim on their own – Allah will surely provide for them.

    We should be spending our money on our own people.
