The idea is that the Muslims must always be supreme, superior to the Christians, who are the ones doing the menial jobs. Why? Because it’s in the Qur’an:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, and do not forbidden what has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and do not acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
“Swabi councillors want Christians to be appointed as ‘sweepers’ in hospitals instead of Muslims,” Samaa, January 19, 2019:
The Swabi district council in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa wants the sweepers hired in the district’s hospitals to be Christian only.
The members of the district council have unanimously adopted a resolution in this regard demanding that all Muslim posted as sweepers be transferred to other posts, such as those of a guard or peon.
The resolution was presented by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Akmal Khan.
It was supported by various members, including Saeed Inayat Ali, Ajwan Khan Jadood, Jahanzaib Khan, Hasmatullah, Maulana Mohammad Shahabuddin, Amir Nawab, Shafqat Rani and others. No one opposed the resolution.
The resolution also stated that this idea was in accordance with court orders. The document, however, did not specify when a court gave such an order and in what case….
Strangely enough, he said that the purpose of the resolution was not to discriminate against Christians.

As I stated about Thailand non Muslim people in a previous post people ..Here we have Pakistan Muslims showing off …at least Muslims are not killing the Christians
in this message but still treating
Them as just menial workers well below their own…Are American elected officials taking notice of instances of muslims murdering and overloading it over Christians in foreign countries and do they not know that Muslims want to and in some cases doing it in The U.S.???

Christians are regularly murdered in Pakistan. As is so often the case, oppression, persecution, abuse, and outright murder all go hand in hand.

I’ve sent multiple emails to Robert, but I’m working with Christian Evangelists in Pakistan providing food, christmas gifts, bibles, shoes and clothing. If anyone is interested, they can go to my website and message me privately. I’ll gladly talk over the phone with them. Or they can donate straight from there. They are in dire need. I also work with an orphanage who also supports widdows.

Astounding Christianophobia! Besides, Moslems are the best qualified for the job of sweeper – given that – in Pakistan – the government has ensured that their population remains largely illiterate – so they will suffer not being to have the job of manual laboured.

Christianophobia or KAFIROPHOBIA is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. ALL Muslims have an ‘ESSENTIAL’ duty to HATE KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Muslims who refuse to HATE KAFIRS will not be admitted to Islamic paradise.

If you looked closer and knew something about Pakistan, you would realize that the basis of this story is the vestigial effect of thousands of years of a culture with a deeply ingrained caste system. Even though most Pakistanis are Sunni Muslim and are not supposed to adhere to a caste system, they still are very caste conscious. The vast majority of Muslim and Christian communities come from the lowest of castes. It is the untouchables who do the sweeping and work with leather. This story is actually good news for the Muslims that have had to do the street sweeping. The Rajput caste rules Pakistan as do the Brahmin castes in India. Muslims, Christians and Sikhs all face intense discrimination in India by virtue of the fact that they are not Hindu. All mosques, churches and gurdwaras are subject to attack in today’s India. I see no acknowledgement of this fact in any of your articles and comments. Your single focus is how bad Islam is.
Most of your commenters appear to want to extinguish Islam. I suggest you keep an eye on what is happening in China. The Chinese government has sentenced hundreds of thousands of Muslim Uyghurs to concentration camps. There are reports that there are up to two million Uyghurs in camps. The communist government euphemistically calls them ‘vocational training schools”. I understand that people who are untrainable may die in the camps. Children are not allowed to attend mosques or learn the Koran. Adult attendance at mosques is monitored by the communist government. Mosque sermons and teachings are prescripted by the government, This is he world’s first large scale attempt to eradicate Islam from a society. Rather than just generating blind hatred, why don’t you support some solutions to the problem? The Chinese method is better than the Nazi method. At least the Uyghurs have a chance to survive if they renounce their faith.

Muslims are not low caste in Pakistan–the government itself is Islamic.
And *all* non-Muslims–Hindus, Christians, Sikhs–are oppressed, regardless what caste they might have belonged to in the past.
A vestigial adherence to caste in Pakistan also does not explain why Muslims oppress Christians and other Infidels *everywhere*–in South Asia, in the Middle East, in the Mahgreb, in sub-Saharan Africa.

If by “good news” “Myrtle Upchuc” means they get to humiliate Christians, this is correct. Note that she does not say why she considers this a good thing.
(There is nothing inherently humiliating about sweeping–I did a great deal of it when I was working entry-level jobs when I was first at university. But this is in Pakistan is *clearly* intended as humiliation).
As for the claim that “it is the untouchables who do the sweeping…” it is worth noting that India has no such laws. In fact, Dalits–no longer called untouchables save in “Myrtle Upchuck’s” imagination–have made great strides in India.
And note that Pakistan is not saying that only “untouchables” are allowed to work sweeping jobs–they openly say this affects Christians.

I wouldn’t want the Uyghurs to work themselves to death, but other than that the Chinese solution sounds like the only solution other than bombing that will throw muslims off track in good and proper time. If there are victims, of course it should not be the kafirs.

Still waiting for that ceremony where Muslims show their love by washing the feet of Christians. But it’s not ever going to happen because Muslims live in a world of crap and the love they have is for trying to smear their excrement all over everyone else. Islam means submission to a god of shit.
Wellington says
Islam in its theology to THIS VERY DAY, overwhelmingly so and as evidenced by the Koran, hadiths, sira and all the major schools of theology, whether Sunni or Shiite, guarantees subordination IN THIS WORLD to non-Muslims wherever and whenever Islam has the power to do so (e.g., the putrid excuse for a nation which is Pakistan).
This is disgusting. And excuse-making for this is equally disgusting, whether proffered by Muslims or those who are in Islamic theology the equivalent of human waste, i.e., dhimmis.

Response: Pakistan has a DUAL LEGAL SYSTEM of national law and SHARIA which supersedes the national law.
The Council of Islamic Ideology tells the Pakistan government if Sharia annuls their legislation.

This is just the normal behaviour by the MUslim supremacists. They always treat non-Muslims like garbage, like non-humans, in the countries where they have power and then, when Muslims are allowed into our western, non-Muslims nations they always whinge and whine that they are being victimised and not treated fairly. I always think the tolerance is all one way. Preferably, I wouldn’t let Muslims into any non-Muslim country. But, for the Muslims that have made their way into our countries, I’d treat them the way they always treat non-Muslims in Muslim run countries, ie, treat them as second class people, give them a taste of their own treatment of non-Muslims. Who knows, maybe some of the invading Muslims might leave. Muslims surely know we are too nice and too much of a soft touch in western countries. I’m sure it is one of the main reasons they keep up their invasion of our gentler, civilised countries.
Paul J says
Treating muslims like they treat non muslims would make you no better than them. They should be treated like everyone else; equally; that means not like second class citizens but also not the special treatment they enjoy and abuse now either. Equally as per the rest of us. Only then can you sit in Righteous Judgement of them and their behaviour. Do no harm but take no shit either; basically.
Dave says
Deport them would be the best thing to do, for the peace of the world. Look at Hungary: No muslims;no trouble. I rest my case.

Sweep, sweep toward the moslims as all trash goes together.
This sweeping rule is all because moslims believe they are too far above this menial task and that Christians should do all the cleaning up after their passing by, fouling wherever they put a foot. It is to subjugate and humiliate.
However, ti will keep the Christians employed and able to pay all of the immoral taxes to the evil government members.
Dave says
In the UK sweeping jobs are usually offered to anybody, and the jobs tend to be done by people who are not capable of doing a better job. It has not been so there is any compulsion for Christians to become road sweeps In Pakistan. I have read that in the UK more than 70% of muslims are unemployed.
somehistory says
According to one moslim speaking to her fellow believers, moslims are “lazy.” They don’t want to work and are more than willing to get a handout.
If no one gave them anything…money, housing, free health care, dental, etc….they would likely all riot for such rather than work for a living. And they just lust for others to serve them…as of course, they believe they deserve such service and readily abuse those serving.
Sickening is what islam is…and evil.

Pakistan is an Islamic nation and here we have another example of the government of Pakistan holding to the clear Islamic teaching that Muslims are superior to every one else and that Christians must be humiliated and subdued. This is one of many examples of why Pakistan is a terrible country to live in. Not only is Islam dominant, but also the central government, which is Islamic is weak, a lot of the country is governed by a tribal system led by tribal leaders who are Muslims. In addition there are the blasphemy laws. Also there are terrorist groups such as the Taliban and Al Qaeda. This is what Islam does, it ruins a country.

JUST AFTER his election, Pakistan’s Imran Khan declared victory to an uneasy nation reeling from election violence and vote tampering allegations, promising to address economic disparity and the rule of law.
“We will set an example of how the law is the SAME FOR EVERYONE,” said Khan in his first televised post-election address. “If the West is ahead of us today, it is because their laws are NOT DISCRIMINATORY. This will be our BIGGEST GUIDING PRINCIPLE.”
I guess he’s already forgotten his BIGGEST GUIDING PRINCIPLE.
The law will be the same for EVERYONE … but that doesn’t mean non-Muslims.

That statement you quoted comes from a Parable,appositely enough called,”the Workers in the Vineyard”
“The last will be first and the first will be last”
Matthew 20 v 16
The least of this World will be the first into God’s Kingdom whilst the first of this World will be the last to be considered.All that false islamic piety will county for nothing!
muslims,being the holiest people in the World{koran 3:110}THINK they are the first
when in fact they shall be the last:they will also be the chaff in the Justice of God,from which “allah” the “best of deceivers”{k3:54. BIG HINT..}won’t save them.But they won’t get that either….
Pakistani Christians {or Coptic Christians in Egypt} who are forced to work in such degrading positions by virtue of their Christian status…should read Matthew 20 and take a lot of comfort from it.This is a formal PROMISE given..
“The last will be first and the first will be last”
We have also seen how in Pakistan,a Christian woman,Asia Bibi, was refused water to drink by the fraudulently pious,’holy’ muslims:to refuse a cup of water to a thirsty person is appaling but to refuse it to a woman simply because she is a Christian is worse.It is ferociously condemned in Matthew 25 v 44-46
It takes a callous soul to ignore the Golden Rule,show no mercy or compassion to another human being and then hypocritically go to a mosque and put on a public show of contrived holiness before “allah”:it is the same islamic attitude to these Pakistani Christians.
In islam,remember,there are No Two Chief Commandments:no Love,no Golden Rule,no tolerance,no respect for others.

Besides Saudi Arabia (which has the good fortune of Jehovah-given oil under the sand) where is a moslem country that is prosperous? Squalor and filth accompany that so-called religion wherever it is to be found. Contrast that with Judeo-Christian civilizations where prosperity abounds (even when we often ignore Yahweh and his blessings by sinning) because there are a remnant who turn to Heaven and acknowledge the blessings the Creator has poured out on us. That is NOT the case with the false religion and its deceitful prophet who has preached hatred for God’s creation. Show me where I am wrong in this observation.

Generally speaking, I could say that Muslims lead a miserable life. Practically their every move is dictated to by the Koran. What to eat; what hand to eat with. No drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no music, no dancing, no pictures, no fun, no love for anybody. That is enough to be going on with
