A glimpse into the future of the West. This is where the Left’s “hate speech” rhetoric is tending. We are very close to this now, far closer than most people realize. Supporters of the President are defamed and smeared now, but for years, critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others have been routinely excoriated, vilified, demonized, deplatformed, and shunned by all decent people. What is the next step? This. Remember: Biden has pledged to combat “hate speech,” which is any speech that those in power dislike, and a member of his transition team wants to outlaw desecration of the Qur’an. So we are far closer to this than most people think.
“Pakistan condemns 3 to death for blasphemy,” Yahoo News, January 8, 2021:
An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has handed death sentences to three people for social media posts deemed insulting to the Muslim prophet Mohammed under the country’s controversial blasphemy laws.
A fourth accused, a college teacher, was sentenced to 10 years in jail for a “blasphemous” lecture he had delivered, court official Istifamul Haq said.
Judge Raja Jawad announced the decision on the charges filed in 2017 in the capital Islamabad, Haq said.
The accused can appeal in two higher courts to overturn their conviction, or ask for mercy from the president….

Pakistan: Three people condemned to death for ‘blasphemy’ in social media posts

Just horrifying. In a sane world all civilized nations wouold cut off relations with these barbarians.

The word “terrorism” is subject to interpretation, depending on just who is defining it.
The word “pornography,” and the word “decency” are also subject to interpretation, depending on who is defining those words and what fits.
So, too, the phrase “hate speech.” moslims define it as anything they don’t like said about them, their book of filth, their barracks, their beliefs and practices, and sometimes just asking questions or even making a truthful statement. Even eating a meal that includes pork or drinking alcohol is “hate” to them.
biden may not have a personal definition for “hate speech.” Then again, somewhere in his befuddled brain cells, there may be something akin to what moslims don’t like and consider ‘hatred’ of themselves.
But biden has many ‘advisers’ who will instruct him about what they hate and he’ll go along.
Right now, they “hate” hearing that Mr. Trump actually won the election, but that there was much cheating going on to force him out of office. Watch for it to be criminalized. Soon.

Even right now, it’s being delegitimized as “conspiracy theory”…

Biden is in the pockets of China and left wing of the party . Pakistan has awarded him one of the highest civilian honour . Just an indication of where things are going !
john smith says
Spot on Peter, China has been trying for decades to infiltrate in to American political parties. It’s got it’s way, it is now firmly in control of the Dems, make no mistake about that.
Keith O says
Well, in any civilised, rational country that simply wouldn’t happen.
This in itself tells us a lot about Islamic countries.
No free thought, No free speech, No happiness. No joy.
Only fear, repression and banging your head on the floor 5 times a day.
Infidel says
What was the religion of those 3 people? Since Pakistani blasphemy laws are different from any non-muslim country that still has it. Technically, blasphemy is something that one can only do to one’s own religion, otherwise, by definition everyone is a habitual ‘blasphemer’ of religions they don’t belong to

Asia Bibi was convicted of “blasphemy” against Islam even though she was Christian. This is not uncommon in Dar-al-Islam.
James Lincoln says
Correct, Infidel.
But muslims are not known for using factual evidence-based logic…
Hindu American says
In another unrelated news, pakistani Anti Terrorism Court convicts LeT leader Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and sentences him to 5 years in jail in terror financing case. Lakhvi according to the US State Dept (and the UN) was the mastermind, planner, coordinator and manager of the Mumbai terror attack which killed 166 people, including six Americans in 2008. But that’s not why the pakistani ATC got him. He was accused of running a medical dispensary and using funds collected for terrorism financing. Oh, by the way, the same court also fined Lakhvi $620.
That pakistan is one messed up nation.

OLD GUY says
The world should know something is wrong when you see a country or group who will kill you for what you say. What that says about islam is that they want total control of your life. This has nothing to do with religion, it is all about POWER. Religion is only the glue that these evil men use to incite followers to commit violence against others for basically nothing more than an idea. If you can create hate you can create power and make enemies of people who have nothing against you or desire to harm you. Thats what ISLAM is all about, creating enemies of everyone who won’t follow their leaders ideology of dominance.
