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

Pakistan’s foreign minister complains of ‘growing trend of Islamophobia in some European countries’

Nov 6, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

Remember: there were cartoons of Muhammad displayed. As a result, two people were beheaded. Others were killed as well. Shah Mehmood Qureshi is not upset about the beheadings. He is upset about counterterror measures being implemented in the wake of the beheadings. He wants the jihad to be able to advance unimpeded. Many Europeans and North Americans would be happy to oblige him.

“Pakistan voices concern over proliferation of Islamophobia in Europe,” Dawn, November 4, 2020:

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday expressed concern over the proliferation of Islamophobia in Europe and called for urgent steps to address it.

The issue was raised by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the Fifth Round of Pakistan-European Union Strategic Dialogue, which was held virtually. The session was co-chaired by Mr Qureshi and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Mr Josep Borrell.

“The foreign minister apprised his European counterpart about the concerns of Muslims around the world, including Pakistan regarding the growing trend of Islamophobia in some European countries,” the Foreign Office (FO) said.

The latest spell of Islamophobia began last month when French President Emmanuel Macron in some rude remarks about Islam described it as a religion “in crisis all over the world,” which had been taken over by extremists.

He then vowed to fight “radical Islamism” and uphold secular values at all costs. His subsequent defence of the caricatures, other comments about Islam and action against Muslims added fuel to the fire.

It is feared that the crisis unleashed by Mr Macron’s comments could draw Europe into greater polarisation that could affect its peace and security.

Mr Qureshi had earlier raised this issue with his other European counterparts in his conversations with them over the past few days and called for promoting inter-faith harmony for defusing the potentially dangerous situation….

    What happens in Pakistan is Pakistan’s business and what happens in Europe in Europe’s business. If people in Pakistan don’t like Europe’s attitude to their ‘religion’, then they can stay away. Simple.

      Jayell’s sentiment is in the right place, but Europe should be SPELLING OUT to all migrants that if they do not think they can uphold the freedom of expression in Europe, they should not come to Europe in the first place.

      Freedom of expression includes the right to criticize religions.

    What worries Pakistan is any surveillance of jihadists in Europe. Pakistan has a Council of Islamic Ideology which advises their government.

    Our Western governments need a council of COUNTERJIHAD to advise our politicians about the dangers of jihad. Our Western governments should be funding counterjihad ideology think tanks to deprogram Muslims right out of Islam. We can do it.

    Pakistan and this foreign Minister of theirs has a history of making egregious demand when it comes to Islam. A significant number of Pakistanis are starving because of sky rocketing food prices in Pakistan. A recent flood in Sindh province devastated much of Karachi. But the Pakistani governments main focus is defending Islam and the dignity of their “beloved” prophet – and not securing the prosperity and future of their citizenry.

    He may be “growing tired” of the “trend” in the knowledge of what islam is all about gaining ground, but I, personally (and I mean more to myself than I do to others), have been really “tired” of the word for a very, very long time. Tired of hearing it, tired of reading it…I refuse to write it…because it is a weapon of evil. So I take it apart and just write “phobia,” and say how fake it is.

    moslims have been using it since the oic coined it in an attempt to shut people’s mouths when those mouths are speaking the Truth about islam. It’s an evil weapon…but it can only be a success if everyone lets it be.

    The Bible says, “Speak Truth with one another.” That includes any and all Truth that shows satan to be the lying, evil demon he is…and he is behind, as the source of, islam. Telling the Truth is not a “phobia.” Telling the Truth is essential.

    Let’s all hope this idiot gets even tireder of the trend in people learning and speaking the truth about this slimy, filth, demonic eviI

    I believe it was in The Rescuers” where it was said, “Or we mice or men? Come on, squeak up.”

    ………………

    Ah…right. Muslims have full freedom in Europe, but people dare frown on their beheading teachers and blowing up Christmas markets.

    Meanwhile in Pakistan non-Muslims are regularly attacked, kidnapped, raped, murdered, and sentenced to death for “blasphemy”.

    God, I hate Islam.

    We, Westerners,use words and drawings to say what we think about the teachings within the quran, however the followers of the quran use swords,knifes, guns,bombs to use against us for saying such things, and yet they call themselves the religion of peace… WTF !!!.
    islam truly is a Fascist Religious Cult.
