If speaking about Muhammad was Muhammad Bilal Khan’s “only fault,” he isn’t likely to have been speaking positively. So this is yet another glimpse of what is coming, inexorably, to the West, if the Left gets its way.
“Blogger killed in Islamabad’s G-9/4 area, police register FIR,” by Tahir Naseer, Dawn, June 17, 2019:
Muhammad Bilal Khan, a 22-year-old blogger, was killed in Islamabad on Sunday night, Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar Malik Naeem confirmed to DawnNewsTV.
SP Naeem said that Khan, who was with his uncle Ehtesham, was attacked in the G-9/4 area of the federal capital. Khan was killed while his uncle was severely injured. He is currently at PIMS.
According to the police official, Khan — who has over 16,000 followers on Twitter, over 48,000 on his YouTube channel and over 22,000 followers on Facebook — received a phone call from an unidentified person to go from the Bara Kahu area in Islamabad to G-9, “where a man took him into the forest”.
The suspect, as per the SP, then used a dagger to murder him. Police added that the sound of firing had also been heard from the area….
The father of the deceased, seen in a video addressing a group of men, said that his son had no personal enmity. He said his son spent his life talking about Islam.
My son’s “only fault was that he spoke about the the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions”, he added, saying he was proud of his son.

In Christianity, one can say what one will about Christ Jesus — who is used to the slings and arrows being thrown his way, as he took the brunt of it all for us! Mohamhead did nothing of the sort, except be a ripe example of a thin skinned psychopath. As for Jesus, a Christian’s growth depends on knowing how Christ transforms the hurt sustained. The only restriction is not to contend against the Holy Spirit, who is our Comforter, as that is not allowable, under penalty of conviction leading to probably condemnation, by not by us humans, but by the Divine Lord.

Yes sinning against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable …but…no one will murder you for that..onlyb God has authority take lives …..and that awful Lake of Fire awaits .

Sure way to know a cult is their members aren’t allowed to think for themselves!
JWs believe that your relationship with God is proven by your works. The problem is once you have an equation of forgiveness that is: “salvation = faith + works”, it’s always the works that matter. (So, are they more likely to be able to get converted into Islam?)
—————
I answered the door on Thursday to be greeted by Austin and Simon. They were Jehovah’s Witnesses. Austin was doing the talking, I suspect Simon was the trainee.
There are a few things that it’s good to know about JWs.
1. They expect you to ignore them, be rude and argue a lot. This is good news for them because they’re told that faithful witness will lead to persecution. So the best thing you can do to disarm them is be nice. Invite them in if you have time. Make them a coffee. Give them a cake.
2. They record their witnessing on time sheets. This is partially because they have to do it. I suspect that this is the work that confirms their faith for them. In other words they prove they’re good enough Jehovah’s witnesses by witnessing. If you don’t log enough time witnessing you get short shrift from the leadership.
3. Their bible is not the Bible.
4. The JW’s were founded in the late 1870s by a bloke called Charles Taze Russell, who didn’t like the teaching of the church he was attending. So he made some up himself that he liked more.
5. It’s not a Christian denomination because Jesus is not fully divine. He is a created being. Jesus didn’t rise physically from the dead. Jesus came back secretly in 1914. Plus a load of other stuff Charlie suggested – most of the weirdest stuff you won’t hear about from JWs.
Austin started by telling me that he’d taken time off work, as had Simon, to share the news that they had come to tell me. Undoubtedly impressive commitment. Commitment that would shame many Christians. Spotting what was coming next I decided to ask him a question: Was he sure that he would be in the New Creation?
“If I remained faithful.” came the reply. This is because JWs believe that your relationship with God is proven by your works. The problem is once you have an equation of forgiveness that is: “salvation = faith + works”, it’s always the works that matter.
Anyway Austin and I chatted on. Seeing that I was a Christian he took two classic JW tactics. Firstly he asked me about Heaven. This is because Christians tend to be very badly thought through on what the Bible says about Heaven, the New Creation and life after death. Unfortunately for Austin I’d done a bit of thinking on this.
So, secondly, he went for the “quote the extremely obscure verse that the Christian won’t know” tactic. He said to me, “Of course you’ll know that Zephaniah 2:3 says, “Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.” His emphasis being on the “perhaps”. It wasn’t Austin’s day. I’ve just finished preaching Zephaniah, so for the first time in my life I actually knew what the book was about. I urged him to read on to chapter 3 and see how Zephaniah ends with a great declaration from the Lord will save His people by grace, despite their very ropey works.
To be fair to Austin he wasn’t going to give up, but I had a sermon to write. So I went for a deal. I said, “I’ll read your literature, that magazine you’re holding and anything else you want to give me, if you’ll promise to read a copy of John’s gospel I give you.”
Silence.
So I repeated my offer: I’ll read your literature, if you’ll read mine (which just happened to be a book of the Bible). Austin said he wouldn’t. I asked why. He said that he had to be careful of false teachers and apostates. I said that I thought we were getting on so well and now he’d just called me a false teacher! Austin still wouldn’t agree to read one of the gospels.
So I politely told them that was why the Jehovah’s Witnesses were a cult. Because they weren’t allowed to think for themselves.
As Christians we don’t need to be afraid of asking questions or reading about other beliefs systems. Because the good news about Jesus is “The Truth”, it will stand out from the rest. The way that we protect ourselves from false ideas is not by refusing to interact with them. But by ensuring that we are being taught the truth from the Bible clearly and faithfully. Then we will be able to spot the fraud from the genuine article when we see it.
Sometimes it’s best not to argue, but rather simply to put the Bible into someones hands and encourage them to read it for themselves. The 19th century Baptist preacher, Charles Spurgeon, was once asked how he dealt with criticisms of the Bible. “Very easy,” he responded. “I defend the Bible the same way I defend a lion. I simply let it out of its cage.”
Perhaps Austin was wise not to take my John’s gospel, if he wants to remain a Jehovah’s Witness.

Freedom of communication, like the rest of the accepted Western standards of human rights, requires a fairly advanced level of innate civility in individual citizens. It seems that we have to accept that there’s no guarantee that every specimen of humanity is going to be appropriate material for membership of a Western ‘club’, so we either insist on our rules or they’re out, or we watch the whole show degenerate into an ‘inclusive’ mess.

It has happened in Bangladesh over the years-roving gangs killing or chopping the hands of bloggers, secularists, even a secular music teacher. An ex-Muslim woman in England in a YT documentary is from Bangladesh and there were photos of her friend murdered in the street and she’s got blood all over her. (His blood.) She’s a member of the atheist group in England and they’re always getting death threats. Most death threats are idle and to scare people out of anger, but she takes them a bit more seriously.
So, these gangs exist like mini-terrorist groups and vigilantes. Pakistan is very bad and since they have this reputation I think they keep trying to outdo each other. Accusations of blasphemy are rampant and unproven. There’s a serious mental problem with this. A majority Muslim country spends all this time and effort to root out blasphemy in this kind of bloodlust way…as if it’s going to make any difference in their society. They’ve got much bigger problems and Saudi Arabia just gave them a boatload of money.
Just pretend nobody committed blasphemy in Pakistan and people were honest and didn’t falsely accuse anyone of doing it. It would still be a sh*thole country that also supports terrorists. And they wonder why they don’t get respect… The British started Pakistan’s blasphemy laws in hopes to quell the fighting between the opposing ethnic and religious groups. Now it’s a handy excuse to fight and kill.

Of course, you may be promised eternal hellfire by the “sacrificing” god-in-glory if you do not accept the “offer” of salvation, which, curiously, is not made openly, in the sky above us, visible to all. But it’s all in the name of “Love”, so one must not question. And one need not pursue it, because there is no force involved. The Jehovahs Witness is not going to lure you into a forest, then produce a dagger and end your life.
A dagger in the heart from a slave of Allah is real, and Islam is an existential danger which the West still refuses to acknowledge. That refusal to put aside the assumption of benevolence we may safely extend to most other religions, to recognize that this cult follows the example of its “prophet” was “made victorious by terror” and to insist that those who adhere to its teachings explicitly remove themselves from its aggression or be counted with our would-be murderers is going to be the end of Western civilization. Since the Left also supports that outcome — in the name of nihilism if not of Allah — it has managed to become the enforcement wing of a conquering alien religion.
Meanwhile our pop culture “leaders” prance around stages in playsuits, appropriately as they play at being champions of “freedom” for flourishing special-interest groups but shrink from defending the victims of Islam — including millions of defenseless girls and women — lest they be accused of “phobia” or “racism” and hounded into silence.

There is no indication that this was about ISI specifically. There are lots of pious Muslims in Pakistan who would murder someone over saying anything critical about the “Prophet”.
