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

Pakistan: Man blinded for “un-Islamic” love relationship by his father and brothers as they scream “Allahu akbar”

Jan 26, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This grotesque crime recalls the establishment media’s full-court press a few years ago to convince Americans that “Allahu akbar” was a benign phrase that only greasy Islamophobes could possibly be concerned about.

In the New York Daily News, Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu akbar” because Muslims don’t just scream it while murdering non-Muslims, but use it in a variety of contexts. She even offered this chilling advice, certain to get people killed were it ever heeded: “So the next time you hear Allahu Akbar — whether it’s in a media report, on an airplane, or in a shopping mall, remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and Christians daily to praise God regardless of their circumstances, can never be justified for use when harming His creation.” So stay put, evidently; fleeing would be “Islamophobic.”

On CNN, Omar Suleiman — the imam who prevailed upon Google to alter their search results so as to bury any negative information about Islam — also argued that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in a variety of contexts, many of them positive. And the New York Times actually tweeted that the phrase “Allahu akbar” had “somehow” become “intertwined with terrorism.”

Somehow! How could this have possibly happened? Could it have anything to do with the thousands of Muslims who have screamed “Allahu akbar” while in the process of murdering infidels?

“Pakistani Man Blinded By His Father, Brothers For Wanting ‘Love Marriage,'” by Abdul Hai Kakar and Ron Synovitz, RFE/RL, January 22, 2020:

Abdul Baqi was blinded with a spoon by his own father and brothers at their home in southwestern Pakistan because he insisted on marrying a young woman that he’d fallen in love with.

“I can survive without my eyesight, but I can’t live without love,” Baqi recently told RFE/RL as he reflected on the terrible trauma he suffered at the hands of his relatives in May 2018.

“Now I am like a fish out of water,” says Baqi, 26, an ethnic Pashtun from the town of Loralai in the northeastern part of Balochistan Province.

Baqi’s horrific tale illustrates that women are not the only victims in Pakistan of so-called “honor crimes” — a scourge of violence that has included acid attacks, blinding, and murder by relatives of victims accused of dishonoring their families.

Baqi says he was attacked after his 73-year-old father, Dost Mohammad, learned about his intention to marry the woman he loves. He says his father refused to consent to the marriage because the couple had gotten to know each other by speaking on the telephone during the previous three years.

According to conservative traditions in the region, a so-called “love marriage” is rare. Weddings are usually arranged by relatives and young women are not allowed to meet or speak with strangers.

Baqi’s father considered the woman to be “immoral” and unfit for marriage because of the long, secret telephone courtship.

Baqi says four of his brothers who have ties to the Taliban bound him, beat him with batons, and held him down as they used the handle of a spoon to gouge out both of his eyes.

He says one younger brother, who was 18 at the time and had just returned from fighting as a Taliban militant in Afghanistan, held his head down with his foot and declared he was an “infidel” because his relationship with the woman was “un-Islamic.”

“The entire time that they were taking out my eyes, he was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!’ over and over again,” Baqi says….

    The audacity to fall in love and wish to wed.

    The audacity of communicating via telephone for several years with your beloved.

    This poor blind man…

      Here is another example of the “peacefulness” of Islam when it comes to love:

      Princess Mishaal bint Fahd al Saud (1958 – 15 July 1977; Arabic: الأميرة مشاعل بنت فهد بن محمد بن عبدالعزيز آل سعود‎) was a member of the House of Saud who was executed(MURDERED) by gunshot for committing adultery. They also murdered her lover with a sword after making him watch Mishaal’s murder. There was no trial and it’s believed she was actually a shot in a car park, by a relative, under her grandfather’s dIrect order.

      Yes, the Saudi Royals are also animals, and still at it. Remember Jamal Khashoggi?

      The murder was documented on PBS and BBC with the title, “DEATH OF A PRINCESS”, which can still be found on YouTube. The Saudis offered $11 million to keep it off the air and the US even tried to stop it for the ally.

        … the US even tried to stop [the distribution of the movie] …
        —
        well, we have to keep in mind that 98% or more of the u.s. public has absolutely no idea of the horror of the pirate cult of islam; it should come as no surprise that our government, staffed by the uneducated victims of leftist indoctrination, sees nothing wrong with collaborating with an enemy … since they don’t understand that they *are* an enemy.

        sometimes it appears that some people in every generation come to believe that the apocalypse is upon us, but in the end, it turns out that nothing happens. this time, however, the ignorance of the danger, and the infection of our institutions by criminal (saudi, et al.) money, may very well spell the end of civilization and the creation of a world-wide serf culture, with the thugs running the show. free people should not stand by and watch; fight with words now, but prepare for the worst, including civil war and nuclear attacks. if U think that the leftist genocides of the last century were bad, just wait until the left and the ummah get serious.

        Westman, I was not aware of this–but you are quite right:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_a_Princess

        The British almost buckled, as well.

        Apparently Mobil Oil placed an advertisement in The New York Times and other newspapers condemning the film, too–just disgusting.

      We will have this if we “resettle” such people here. They don’t leave their so-called “culture” behind – they attempt, rather, the shove it on our people here. I am in favor of allowing only non-Muslims to resettle in the US. Please sign my petition:

        It’s the same with any culture. Move in 100 and they will integrate. Move in 1 million and they will insist that the locals integrate. This is worse in the case of Islam as it is more aggressive than any other modern religion.

        sadly, Savvy, if the ummah wins, future generations will know *nothing* of us. even in the best of circumstances, with knowledge freely available on the internet, the average citizen is mostly unaware of much more than a few dates of battles, or perhaps some names of leaders (thank U, leftist indoctrination system). how much does the average american really know about george washington, or thomas jefferson, whose quran was *not* acquired because he admired the poison of islam? 300 years after an islamic conquest of the world, the average human being would be an illiterate muslim serf whose knowledge of the past would not extend past his grandparent’s time (other than knowledge of the 7th century, of course). just think about the rosetta stone, which has ancient greek, demotic script, and heiroglyphic versions of the same ptolemaic decree; before this stela was found, nobody knew how to read either demotic script or heiroglyphics, because the thugs of the ummah saw no immediate use for them, and destroyed egyptian culture, allowing typical islamic illiteracy to erase it over the centuries. thus, future generations will not even know of us or of civilization, let alone be able to forgive our deluded ignorance. between uneducated leftist drivel and poisonous islamic thuggery, civilization faces its most severe challenge *today*.

        +1 anyway, for good attitude.

    “Allahu akbar” is the WAR CRY OF MOHAMMED … not ‘co-opted’ or misunderstood, but the war cry of normative, jihadic Islam.

    In June 628, Muhammad led a Muslim army against the Jewish community of Khaybar. Muhammad told his warriors, “You will not go out with me unless you desire jihad. As for plunder, there will be none.” The battle cry of the Muslims was “O victorious one, slay, slay!” As the Muslims attacked, Muhammad called out, “Allahu akbar! Khaybar is destroyed.”

    Al-Uzza (Arabic: al-Uzza was one of the three chief goddesses of Arabian religion in pre-Islamic times and was worshiped by the pre-Islamic Arabs along with Allat and Manat. A stone cube Ta’if (near Mecca) was held sacred as part of her cult. She is mentioned in the Qur’an Sura 53:19 as being one of the goddesses that people worshiped.

    Al-Uzza, like Hubal, was called upon for protection by the pre-Islamic Quraysh.

    “In 624 at the ‘battle called Uhud’, the war cry of the Qurayshites was, “O people of Uzza, people of Hubal!” Al-‘Uzzá also later appears in Ibn Ishaq’s account of the alleged Satanic Verses.

    The temple dedicated to al-Uzza and the statue itself was destroyed by Khalid ibn al Walid in Nakhla in 630 AD.

    The phrase “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greater) has been used since the time of Muhammad as both a Muslim battle cry and for other occasions.

    This serves as just one more example of what mankind “got.” It “got’ a major religion whose reputed founder’s character demonstrates copiously that he was an extremely self-centered, delusional and brutal man, a person who sanctioned terror by his own admission {e.g., “I have been made victorious with terror”—Bukhari Hadith 4.52.220}. Also, one who never provided any proof for his “spiritual” claims—all his “spiritual” claims were bogus, every last damn one of them.

    From Mohammed to this blinding, from the seventh century to the twenty-first century, there is most definitely a connection here. It’s a long thread. A very sad one. A tragic one. A barbaric one. This is Islam’s ultimate legacy and over 36,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide just since 9/11 only confirms this all the more.

    Anyone who cherishes freedom should detest enemies of freedom. There is no longer-lived ideological enemy of freedom than Islam. Here, Islam is #1.

    Just one more of thousands of barbaric crimes against humanity that is promoted through the “great” religion created by Muhammad’s warped mind. Islam IS the worst thing to happen to mankind ever. How can anyone in their right mind think that GOD would want his creation of mankind to do evil against’s itself.

    Think about this! According to islamic teachings, these wonderfully cruel men think that women are created by GOD for only their Pleasure. If these men feel that a women is of no more use to them or not obedient to them they can beat or kill them. These cruel men are directed by islamic teaching to use /enslave non islamic believers or to kill them. If these wonderful men of islam die in a jihad, god will give them virgin girls for their pleasure. WOW what a belief system.

    You have to be vary simple minded or have a mental defect to follow Muhammads teachings, or you are in a position to take advantage of the masses through a heavy handed religious dictatorship. Totally EVIL!

    The pakistani rightly deserves the punishment he got for believing in a distorted religion. Now even his parents or siblings will undergo a punishment everyday of their life of taking care of a blind man. And if they believe that it was the will of Allah then so be it.

    Even in medieval times this probably would have been seen as utterly barbaric! …But not in 2020 Pakistan…
    Blinding was actually practiced in some places in the middle ages but was reserved only for some very serious crime like high treason / armed rebellion / etc… This goes far beyond anything medieval in terms of sheer inhumanity!

    The first victims of Islam are other Muslims. Islam is evil like that. Islam allowed you to you to kill your own family.
