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

Pakistan assembly speaker says construction of Hindu temple in Islamabad is “against the soul of Islam”

Jul 12, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The legions of non-Muslims in the West who are anxious to appease Muslims and do nothing that could even be perceived as insulting to Islam should take careful note of these developments, but they won’t. The opposition to this Hindu temple is yet another indication that some Muslims virtually take any non-Muslim expression of faith as an insult to Islam. Appeasement only encourages the aggressor to make more demands.

“Construction of Hindu temple in Islamabad is against Islam and an insult to Islamic kingdom: Pakistan assembly speaker,” OpIndia, July 2, 2020:

Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi from Pakistan’s Punjab province on Wednesday made a shocking remark against the construction of a temple in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad claiming that Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and construction of a new temple in Islamabad was not only against the spirit of Islam but also an insult to the ‘Madina Riayasat’, a reference to the Islamic welfare state that Pakistan aspires to be.

Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi strongly opposed the construction of Hindu temple saying that it is not only against the spirit of Islam but is also an insult to the Islamic State of Pakistan. He reportedly added that after the victory of Mecca, Hazrat Muhammad along with Hazrat Ali broke 360 idols in Baitullah Sharif and said, “Haq Aya Aur Batil Mit Gaya Baishak Batil Mitney Wala Tha.”

“Pakistan was made in the name of Islam and building another Hindu temple in the capital is against the soul of Islam,” said Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi….

Following the decision of Pakistan government to build the temple in Islamabad, Mufti Zia-ud-Din of the Lahore chapter of Jamia Ashrafia, a leading cleric in Pakistan has issued a “fatwa” against the construction of the temple, calling it “un-Islamic”.

The fatwa claimed that while the repair of an existing structure for non-Muslims is allowed, construction of new places of worship is not permitted in Islamic nations.

    Well then it is against the soul of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism to have Mosques/dargahs. Keep your Muslims in your Islamic countries and don’t go to other countries and demand the right to your hijab, mosques, Islamic education etc.

      The West should go on and capitulate we don’t stand up for our so called core Christian beliefs to the death so therefore we are subservient to those who go to the death by all means necessary for theirs. We teach Antichrist principles to our children in our schools and only allow prayer in schools for Muslim children. We allow the building of mosques in America yet in Muslim countries we’ll be accused of losing our heads(and soon will literally) to attempt to build structures of our faiths. We don’t mind being unfair to ourselves so the Muslims certainly don’t mind if we are.

    So, which will take precedence? The Pakistani government’s ruling or the cleric’s fatwa?

    Muslims don’t like sharing land, even before they have possession of it. On a whim I did a Quran word search on the Arabic equivalent of “sharing”. Most of the verses had to do with Allah (PBNJ) not sharing power with nobody none of the time ever. Of the few that actually involved a human giving up something with no expectation of reward, most were gibberish. For instance;

    “He propounds unto you a parable drawn from your own life: Would you [agree to] have some of those whom your right hands possess as [full-fledged] partners in whatever We may have bestowed upon you as sustenance, so that you [and they] would have equal shares in it, and you would fear [to make use of it without consulting] them, just as you might fear [the more powerful of] your equals? Thus clearly do We spell out these messages unto people who use their reason.”

    Quran, chapter 30 Ar Rum (the Romans), verse 28

    The bracketed editorial insertions don’t help. I am guessing that this is a hypothetical scenario where a slave owner doesn’t take more for himself than he provides to his slaves and that he should be afraid of taking a cut from this pool of shared possessions without informing the slave first, because he wouldn’t do it if the other partner was his social equal or better. In other words, don’t let your ethical decisions be determined by your social status. If so, this must have been one of Muhammad’s better days. Usually his refrain sounds like: This land is my land, it isn’t your land. If you don’t get off I’ll blow your head off.

    For context here are the opening ayahs and the only mention of Romans:

    Alif-Lam-Mim. The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.

    Muhammad’s imagination and bullshittery skills place him several notches above Joseph Smith and at least on par with L. Ron Hubbard.

    Anything that is against the evil “soul of Islam” has to be a move in the right direction, a move towards the good. And as TruthSeeker says, up above, Islam is always intolerant towards all non-Muslims, so Muslims should shut the hell up. Almost always, Muslims are shown tolerance and consideration (especially in our western countries) and such tolerance is always one way, as Muslims hardly ever display such tolerance towards non-Muslims when they have power. I’m glad to hear about these intolerant Muslims getting upset as is outlined in this report. I wish it would happen far more often. All reports I hear about Pakistan convince me that it is an appalling country, truly an area of Islamic backwardness.

      Jul 12, 2020 at 7:34 pm

      TM is correct: ‘appalling’. However, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the very FOUNDER of PAKISTAN preached tolerance of Hindus:

      “You are free. You are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the state.”

      Jinnah said that the Pakistani politicians should not interfere in the practice of religion.

      It is hard to ignore the words of the founder of Pakistan, but Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi is ignoring the MODERN principles upon which Pakistan was founded.

        Your knowledge is extraordinary, mortimer. So the early leader of Pakistan was quite a tolerant character. With islam, things often, well I’d say pretty much always, go from bad to worse. That saying “Hell Sucks” seems to apply to Islam. It gets more backward, more vicious and more intolerant instead of improving. I must say that I had presumed that Pakistan had always been just as hardline and vicious a Muslim country as it seems to be these days.

      • David says

        Jul 13, 2020 at 1:32 pm

        Could it possibly be that the founder of Pakistan was using Taqiyya? Anything to get their way.

        • tim gallagher says

          Jul 13, 2020 at 6:12 pm

          That seems to be a distinct possibility, David. I know that I never believe anything that Muslims say. If they are addressing their message to non-Muslims, then they are probably always lying, that is, except when they are threatening us with death or some such thing.

        Jul 14, 2020 at 5:02 am

        Jinnah did say this in his first address to the nation after independence on 14th August 1947. But we must also remember that it was this very same jinnah who broke India into 2 pieces based on his two nation theory; on the grounds of religion. So, we should not make the mistake of thinking that jinnah was secular or multicultural – he was a communal minded muslim all the way.

        • tim gallagher says

          Thanks for that information about Jinnah’s mentality, Khushi.

    — but building a mosque over Hindu temple(mosques over thousands of temples in India during the savage Islamic rule) is not only their duty but fulfillment of the “soul” of Islam. Thats how it is folks. If you let Muslims in your country this is what they are planning to do!

    The “MOST INTOLERANT RELIGION EVER” shows its true supremacist face … AGAIN.

    Muslims cannot claim that they are tolerant.

    • elee says

      Jul 12, 2020 at 10:45 pm

      Sure they can. They do it all the time. Y’know how they like to cite the verse about “no coercion in matters of religion,” and forget to mention that the verse is abrogated? World’s foremost example of kitman, that……….oh you mean, like, “TRUTHFULLY claim that they are tolerant”? Well, who ever said kafirs were entitled to the truth?

    If they want pragmatism and peace they’ll declare that it isn’t a temple, its a cultural centre. And if not—as I suspect is the case—-there will be more of the usual Muslim supremacism and intolerance.

    Good Morning to all,

    Pakistan should realize, if they have any sense of regard and honest, that the the piece land on which they are living, belongs to Bharat, so called and hence Hindustan.

    Hindustan and Hindus are the names extracted from sanskrit word Sindhu, the name of a River also known as Indus.

    If they are saying like this means, they are regardless and shameless.

    Regards
    Uma

    This is the indictment of the Marxist decolonization of the British Empire by the Marxist traitors of 1945 landslide, a crime from which mankind will not recover in centuries.
    All these countries used to be one country all living together in the British Raj, now we have 3, two of them nuclear powers who hate each other’s guts! You just couldn’t of managed a worse job!
    And Burma has not yet come out from the night of decolonization either… Well done traitors of Oxbridge and Eaton! In the days of the First Elizabeth you would be in 2 or 4 pieces by now which is what you deserve. And I am not even looking at Aden and Africa you fools! Now you want to force us to send shedloads of money to fix what we can’t control, we have no sovereignty, foreign aid must stop.
