As with so many applications of Islamic law, we see here again that it is an empire of fear, with virtue enforced by draconian punishments that make people too afraid to step out of line. Behind the Islamic moral critique of the West is not genuine virtue, but people cringing in fear of getting arrested, or even of being lashed, getting their hands amputated, getting stoned to death, etc.
“13 arrested, restaurant sealed in Lahore for allegedly serving alcoholic beverages,” by Adnan Sheikh, Dawn, September 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A well-known food outlet in Lahore was sealed on Saturday for allegedly violating the ban on the serving and sale of alcoholic beverages, police said.
Police arrested 13 people and filed a criminal case against the outlet’s administration, SP Malik Imran said.
According to the FIR, a copy of which is available with DawnNewsTV, the joint raid by the police and excise and taxation department was conducted on Cafe Aylanto on the directives of the Lahore commissioner….
The high-ups discussed the matter and constituted a raiding party. To further investigate the matter, undercover agents were sent to the restaurant. The undercover agents purchased foreign liquor worth Rs12,000 and signaled the two assistant commissioners who then stepped in and initiated a legal action.
A police party, meanwhile, remained alert outside the cafe to avoid any untoward situation. A large number of liquor bottles were seized and the restaurant staff as well as some customers were placed under arrest.

Islamic Republic of Pakistan: 13 arrested, restaurant sealed for selling alcoholic beverages
………………
Kidnapping, raping, and murdering Infidels seldom leads to any official action–but a restaurant selling alcohol? That calls for mass arrests…
Infidel says
While Mohammedans may be pretty rigid about pork, when it comes to alcohol, they are pretty relaxed. Of course, in the West, they like to virtue-signal about how innocent they are in abstaining from alcohol

Often true, Infidel.
Oddly, here in Oakland, most corner liquor stores are now owned by Yemeni Muslims.
screw u says
A practice that is just a tad hypocritical, which seems to be normal for the followers of another hypocrite.
Of course the main reason booze is banned under Islam is that you can’t risk the people having a good time. Or even being given the free choice on the matter.

So true, screw u.
And the murderous thugs as Your Black Muslim Bakery attacked several of these liquor stores some years ago.

It’s to sell to infidels, so it’s halal…

True, Angemon.
Spiro says
The Muslims I’ve know here in the US
sure don’t abstain from alcohol
Their pretty good in holding their booze
I also remember a story about the 9/11
Hijackers hanging out in Florida nightclubs getting wasted and chasing the girls

This last was partially to throw off the Infidels–but it was also because these Muslims knew that all such “sins” would be wiped out by the “good works” of slaughtering Kufar.

MOHAMMED DRANK WINE
“Narrated by Gaber bin Abdullah:
We were with the messenger of Allah, PBUH and he asked for a drink. One of his men said: “Oh Messenger of Allah, Can we offer you wine to drink?” He said Yes. He (Gaber) went out looking for the drink and came back with a cup of wine. The messenger (Peace Be Upon him) asked, “Have you covered it with a twig in a transverse manner” He (Gaber) said, “Yes” and he (Muhammad) drank.
Sahih Muslim – Hadith #3753
Even Mohammed was a HYPOCRITE not keeping ‘his own’ commandments in the Koran.
Note the OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE detail about covering it with a twig ‘in a transverse manner’.
Shaggy man says
Where did Gaber get wine from? And why the heck would he offer the prophet a glass, knowing how ‘merciful’ allah is?
Michael Copeland says
Apparently, according to a story in the medieval Mandeville’s Travels, Mohammed took his men to visit a religious hermit. They ate with him and drank plenty of wine. Mohammed engaged the hermit in long religious discussion, much to the boredom of the companions. Mohammed slept soundly after the wine. His companions took his sword and used it to cut off the hermit’s head. They told Mohammed that he had been so drunk that he had done the deed, showing him his bloody sword. From then on Mohammed forbade alcohol.

I don’t think Muhammed would have forbidden alcohol because it made him violent…
mortimer says
OOPS !!! I thought we had nothing to fear from Sharia law !!!
Hmmm … let’s think about this.
mortimer says
DETAIL FROM ARTICLE: A large number of liquor bottles were seized and the restaurant staff as well as some customers were placed under arrest.
Yes, and the police then each took some bottles home and destroyed the contents of the bottles.

In a way it’s good they ban alcohol (selectively that is). They are crazy enough without a gut full of booze. Bloody hell, that is something Positive about islam.
