“Politicians and rights activists say organizers of Pakistan’s Women’s March are being threatened with dangerous blasphemy accusations by religious conservatives.”
Pakistani lawmakers claimed that the women’s march was anti-Islam. This means that the activists are now under the threat of death, since after all, women are not equals in Islam, and how dare they try to be.
Pakistan has not protected and will not protect anyone who offends Islam. In fact, its Prime Minister Imran Khan has been influential at the UN in attempting to spread the “Islamophobia” subterfuge around the world. Pakistan is adept at playing a double game. It is no secret that Pakistan leads the charge on Islamic blasphemy laws worldwide. It is interesting to note the contrast between the women’s march in Washington DC, with its stark display of a mutated brand of vulgar feminism (“pussy hats” flaunted, with accusations about Trump’s “toxic masculinity”), with the feminist march in Pakistan, which only seeks human rights for all, and equal rights for women.
It’s past due that the willfully blind, egocentric woke movement in the West wakes up and realizes that anything that offends Islam is deemed to be “blasphemous.” Imagine what would happen if the DC women’s march were transported to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Iran.
“Blasphemy” in Islam encompasses an ideology far beyond the emotions of “offense” taken. Sharia blasphemy principles seek to preserve Islamic supremacism and expansionism.
“Pakistan: Women’s rights activists face new allegations of blasphemy,” DW, April 6, 2021:
While organizers of Pakistan’s Women’s March have long been the subject of threats and criticism, allegations of blasphemy could put women’s rights activists in a new kind of danger.
Blasphemy accusations have resulted in killings in the past, and human rights activists believe that these allegations have created a widespread climate of fear, especially for women’s rights advocates.
“Pakistan is not a democratic state but a religious state where clerics wield a lot of influence,” Mehdi Hassan, a former chairperson of Pakistan’s Human Rights Commission, told DW.
“Hurling allegations of blasphemy amounts to jeopardizing the lives of people here. We fear that the lives of women activists are in danger because there are so many extremists out there in the streets who could target them at any time.”
“At least seven people have been killed just because of blasphemy allegations. Therefore, it is important that the government provides them [the activists] with protection.”
Who is threatening activists in Pakistan?
At least two local courts — one in the northwestern city of Peshawar and another in the southern port city of Karachi — have asked police to register cases against organizers of the march, alleging violations of blasphemy and other laws. A petition seeking to ban the annual gathering has also been lodged with the Islamabad High Court.
Lahore-based activist Shazia Khan said friends and relatives have pressured them to maintain a low profile following the accusations and legal cases…..

So how many of these women oppose non-muslim underage girls being abducted and forcibly married into the ummah? My guess is none, since they’re still devout muslims and merely in denial that their politicians happen to be right when they say that they’re blaspheming islam by demanding equal rights as men. Since the sunnah claims that women have a value half that of men!
So fascinating as this may be to watch, I’ll pass on supporting them. Although as sex ratios of women continue to decline, Pakistan will find itself in the same boat as China – a national female shortage. At that point, they may as well conscript all their men into a massive jihadist army, available for hire to the highest bidder

This is another reminder of the truth revealed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED . On page 171 her reader are informed that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
Furthermore, on the very next page she also exposes that “Women in Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.”

Those misogynistic Muslim males of Pakistan are using a”blasphemy law” against this brave woman because she is courageous enough to take a stand for female human rights ,for both girls and women.
For Islam is viciously cruel oppressive brutal misogyny.

If you are a women living in a Muslim/islamic country you don’t have much of a chance to get equal rights or any rights. And surprise the women”s rights groups from around the world are silent, You won’t see them marching and chanting in front of any muslim capitols or any where else on behalf of the Islamic women and girls around the world. Where are the PINK HATS now?

“Pakistani lawmakers claimed that the women’s march was anti-Islam.”

Pakistan: Women’s rights activists face threats and accusations of ‘blasphemy’
………………
Grimly, this should not surprise–few things are more un-Islamic than the idea of women having any rights at all.
