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

Pakistan: “Somebody used his mobile to send a text against the Prophet. This became a blasphemy case against him.”

Dec 25, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Somebody used his mobile to send a text against the Prophet. This became a blasphemy case against him. Insulting Mohammed means anyone can kill him. His guard attempted to kill him and somebody gave him poison.”

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are the foundation of human rights abuses of monstrous proportions. The world yawns.

“Christian Journalist Held on Blasphemy Charges in Pakistan,” Missions Box, December 24, 2019:

PAKISTAN – New reports highlight continuing concern over Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, six months after Asia Bibi was finally allowed to leave the country.

The reports come from sources as diverse as the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCRIF) and Humanists International.

The USCIRF reports there are still 80 people in Pakistan imprisoned on blasphemy charges. And the latest Freedom of Thought Report from Humanists International says Pakistan remains a ‘perennial offender’ in imprisoning people for blasphemy – long after the country’s Supreme Court discredited the high-profile case against Asia Bibi.

According to the Freedom of Thought report: ‘The authorities prosecuted a total of 1,170 blasphemy cases between 1987 and 2012, with scores of new cases every year. Civil society reports estimate that in 2017 alone at least 50 individuals were imprisoned on charges of blasphemy, with at least 17 facing possible death sentences.’

Release International says Zafar Bhatti, was falsely accused of blasphemy to prevent his work as a Christian journalist and put his life in jeopardy.

He was arrested seven years ago after reporting on Christian persecution. Release Partner, Lahore Evangelical Ministries, says: ‘Somebody used his mobile to send a text against the Prophet. This became a blasphemy case against him. Insulting Mohammed means anyone can kill him. His guard attempted to kill him and somebody gave him poison.’

False blasphemy charges can be devastating for the entire family: ‘My life is ruined without him,’ says Zafar’s wife Nawab Bibi. ‘When Zafar was arrested, my life became meaningless. I felt myself all alone and I thought my life is finished. He is in prison. I am really suffering.’…

    This poor Christian and his family.

    Somebody should bring up such abuses to the great cricketing prime minister Imran Khan, the next time he chooses to hold a press conference lamenting ‘Islamophobia’

    Somebody explain again to me the wisdom of Clement Attlee for creating this Muslim state. I keep reading about a place called Pakistan, and then I cant remember the brilliance of that decision.

      While I blame the Brits for a lot of things when it comes to unleashing the Islamic frankenstein, the creation of Pakistan ain’t one of them. That was a movement that started in India, and thanks to the pandering activities of the Indian Congress under Gandhi and Nehru, the movement for that grew. In 1946, the Muslims called for a Direct Action day which was massive nationwide rioting b/w Muslims and Hindus (mainly), and all parties agreed to a partition to prevent further bloodletting.

      The mistake that was made was India’s – by insisting that Indian Muslims be allowed to remain in India at all, instead of being expelled wholesale to Pakistan. Cue 70 years, and today, India has 180 million Muslims – almost as many as either Pakistan and Bangladesh. There is no reason for India to have more Muslims than all but 3 of the 50 Muslim countries on earth

        True–while the Muslim population has continued to grow in India, the entire non-Muslim population of Pakistan has been almost completely wiped out by driving them away, forced conversion to Islam, and outright murder.

    ‘The authorities prosecuted a total of 1,170 blasphemy cases between 1987 and 2012, with scores of new cases every year.

    What a pathetic state of affairs in this modern age, when grown people have to defend against the idiotic beliefs of some superstitious rubes, thank you islam. It’s like we’re living in the Dark Ages when goblins were the cause of sickness and bad weather. But this is the direction the West is headed for islam. This is no longer just a problem in some far off country we can’t find on a map. These demon-lovers are moving right next door, building their snake dens, and bowing to that same god of shocking stupidity. But worse than stupid it’s aggressive, having killed more people than any other ideology in history including Nazism. The West has their own version of “blasphemy” for islam but it comes under different names, like “racism” or “islamophobia.” Criticize the koran or muslims and you risk getting fired, sued, banned, or arrested, for simply speaking your fact based opinions. I keep telling myself, “We can’t let “blasphemy” happen here!” but it’s already here. The question for much of the West is no longer, “Can we preserve our freedoms?” it’s more, “Can we get our freedoms back?” Look at Britain, look at Europe. They are on the verge of collapse for islam. If jihadists attacked tomorrow in full force they could push them over the brink into complete chaos. But our leftist c*nts in America keep telling us that islam is peaceful and muslims are super great for America. I know better.

    The retarded and aggressive superstitions of islam are a threat to all civilized people on earth, and it’s MUSLIMS who bring those ideas in, not the Swedes or Danes or Poles. Thanks to muslims we already have blasphemy laws under a different name and it’s getting worse by the week. Europe is pertineer lost, America may be the last great bastion for freedom against islam. The universe gave us Trump, but it’s not enough. We need to create a nation-wide enthusiasm for our freedoms, our national pride, and our heritage. And I think we can do that by speaking against the villainies of islam and their leftist allies, voting for the right people, and supporting good people like Spencer with vocal and financial support. It’s not too late for America, but we really have to care.

    This reminds me of Romeo and Juliet story: 2 families having a feud for years . It came to an end the day both of them realised they were loosing their best assets due to their ideology. Hope Islam ideology come to the dead end soon. Meanwhile it will have to go worst for a time before it goes better for everyone .

      I don’t think Muslims are going to change–their creed teaches savagery.

    Why not simply arrest all the Pakistani ambassadors in our countries and each time Pakistan sentences a person to death for blasphemy we sentence an ambassador to death. Time and time again we allow moslems far too much leniency. They kill Christians, arrest them, burn our Churches and we do nothing. Why do we have so many foreign imams in Europe? Each time they close a Church, we should close a Mosque.
    Lets face it, they put their Mosques in places simply to annoy the Christians in the area..

      Civilized nations may expel Ambassadors, but we don’t murder them as Muslims do.

    This fight is not just about Christians, but all people who do not believe in Allah. Once the Christians are gone it is going to be the rest of us. Islam is evil.

      So true. *All* Infidels are in danger from Islam.

    They go after the Saturday people (the Jews) then the Sunday people(the Christians) then every one else including” other” Moslems from different tribes of that cult. A true evil cult that has never added to humanity always taken away and diminish life for its people to evil foul hate of what makes life worth living. The cult (Islam) must be protected from all outside ideas because it is so false , it lacks all logic , reason , kindness ,and believes hate + bitterness is the lot of all people in life. Hate is a virtue in Islam ,violence a sacrament ,the grasping of power ,be it over the unbeliever , women in their own family , or the person living next door of the same tribe.

    People who tell the truth about mo’s behavior must be respected. Any suggestion of a connection to blasphemy is ridiculous.

      Three really awkward facts about muhammed..

      1}The koran insists that the right to be a Prophet was given ONLY to the Children of Israel

      “And verily WE gave the children of Israel the scripture,the command and the PROPHETHOOD and provided them with good things and favored them among all peoples”
      Koran 45:16

      But muhammed was not from the “Children of Israel”:he wasn’t Jewish.
      In fact he was a mass murderer of Jews{Abu Dawud 4390}

      Since he was NOT a Jew,by the koran’s OWN criterion of koran 45:16 he was not an authentic prophet as he was not thus qualified.

      2}Muhammed FAILED the Poison Test and by the koran’s OWN criteria PROVED himself false for ..

      “No calamity befalleth save by allah’s leave”
      koran 64:11

      Calamity mo!

      see on You Tube
      acts17apologetics who killed muhammed?

      For details..it is also quite funny..

      Note:

      In Deutronomy 18 v 20
      “But if any prophet dares to speak a message in my name when i did not command him to do so,he must DIE for it,and so must any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods”

      What happened to the “prophet” muhammed?muhammed who admitted..

      “I have fabricated things against God and attributed to him things he has not said”
      Al tabari 6:111

      muhamed DIED.Why?Because he had proved himself to be a FALSE prophet.

      Look how muhammed DIED: and at the hands of an enslaved JEWISH woman whose family he had murdered.Poetic Justice too.And he so desperately wanted to die in battle.

      A mass murderer of Jews killed by a Jewish woman:YHWH must have laughed as allah didn’t save his “prophet” did he?

      3}muhammed’s “prophecies” are ALL demonstrably FALSE.

      see on You Tube
      Apostate Prophet muhammed’s failed end time prophecy

      There is no doubt,from islamic sources alone,that muhammed was a FALSE prophet.

      The Evidence is OVERWHELMING..

      • Val says

        Dec 27, 2019 at 12:01 am

        No doubt, the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable, directly from Islamic scripture which openly claims murder, rape, and robbery committed by Muhammad and his band of criminals.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 26, 2019 at 11:43 pm

      Val, this was not even what happened, although I agree with you.

      This was a Muslim deliberately *falsely* accusing an Infidel of saying anything critical of the “Prophet”. This is very common in Dar-al-Islam, especially Pakistan.

    Does anyone remember the news articles about a man named A.Q. Khan?
    Does anyone notice how quiet the news is concerning Paki?
    Can anyone imagine what’s going on secretly under that land in Paki?
    Imagine the unthinkable; it is said to be a ‘hotbed’ for teaching the ideology and planning death of the West, and what if certain factions of its military go rogue against the West? That particular section of the world must be examined, watched, scanned and monitored particularly closely.

    God Worshiping Religions Teach, Blasphemy is sin Against, God and God will Punish. No God but Allah Religion teaches, pointing out any Flaw against the Religion and/or its Founder is Blasphemy, and Butchering the Person is the Remedy!!!! Is it not like Breaking the Mirror to make Face Beautiful!!!!!?????
