It will be interesting to see how the People’s Republic reacts to this. If this sort of thing continues, the Chinese may reconsider their economic inroads into Pakistan. On the other hand, the bottom line may be just too good to resist.

“Pakistanis attack Chinese tile manufacturing factory for ‘insulting Prophet Muhammad’, watch video,” OpIndia, October 14, 2021:
Pakistanis attacked a Chinese tile manufacturing factory in Faisalabad over allegations of insulting Prophet Muhammad….
In the video, one can see local Pakistanis had attacked one Chinese tile manufacturing company, Time Ceramics Limited, Faisalabad, Pakistan. The company was blamed for manufacturing tiles with PBUH written on them. The word PBUH is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad and stands for Peace Be Upon Him.
As per reports, the locals in Faisalabad barged into the factory and smashed the tiles into pieces. The Chinese engineers and workers were also beaten up badly.

If the Chinese like it in Pakistan I have a feeling they will love it in Afghanistan.
CogitoErgoSum says
So are all the workers at the Chinese tile factory Chinese? Maybe if they would have had a few local Muslims working there they could have been advised of what they were doing wrong before things turned violent. But maybe that’s just not the way the Chinese do things. Maybe they like to be in full control of the workplace – as communists like to be. On the other hand maybe the Muslims don’t like being bossed around by a bunch of godless atheists. That would make a mockery of what Muhammad told them about being the best of people – and Infidels being apes, pigs, and other such vile creatures. Come to think of it, what are any of these people thinking? There’s no way they are going to get along with each other.

The meek will inherit the earth.
Maybe some of the Chinese will!

If I open a company in a different country, I am offering work to locals, WTF has their religious traits got to do ??? Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian never any problems but a manufactured religion seems to matter.
Let other Muslim countries Aid Afghanistan/ Pakistan/ Mali/ Nigeria not the Judeo Christion wests problems.
CogitoErgoSum says
Well, for a Muslim I’d say religious traits have everything to do with everything. For a communist every business is everybody’s business. So, yeah, they can deal with that without any help from us because …. ummm, because they are really, really smart and we have Joe Biden.

You may do it, but Chicoms don’t. See my other response to CES on how Beijing puts PLA members to work on those projects, rather than hire local workers. It’s the reason why so many of their projects have gone sour
Westman says
Didn’t we already learn that the government of any Islamic nation can be defeated yet the nation cannot be governed with anything less than occupation and force – using the very methods of the previous government?
China’s, one belt one road initiative, in the ME, is doomed from the start. Putin is likely chortling with amusement after the Russian experience. Then, again, someday, as part of some war, China might invade Pakistan and force the people into India to gain more land. China certainly will never spend treasure and wealth to bring democracy to any nation.
Infidel says
India, despite its current stupid government, has an ironclad policy of keeping Pakistanis out. And they could, despite the rivalry w/ China, sign an extradition treaty to extradite all Pakistani muslims (and even toss in some Indian ones for variety ?) similar to the treaties that most muslim countries have signed w/ China re: the Uyghurs
Infidel says
CES
The way the Chicom belt/road
scamsprojects work is this: China offers to invest in country X to do infrastructure projects (no, Jen, human infrastructure not included here), but also provides the workers to do it. The workers are not random Chinese guys, but PLA members, who in addition to the work, are also capable of fighting like troops if needed. Every country that has bought into these scams has had de-facto Chinese troops on their territory. In fact, in Pakistan, there had even been clashed b/w Chinese ‘workers’ and Pak policeThe way Beijing plays it is that only their people will make money out of any of this, which is why CPEC – the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor – has met w/ heavy opposition in Balochistan and Sind. Normally, such projects would be welcomed, if they resulted in higher local employment and investment, but b’cos all the benefits are going to just one party – the Chinese, as well as the Pak generals who pocket money from these projects, what one has is instead high resentment. There have even been attacks on the Chinese as a result. Other countries, like Kenya, have shown more sense and stopped these projects dead in their tracks, once they figured out the modus operandi of the Chicoms. But Pakistan is so much in debt to the Chicoms that they have no way out of this. Which is funny to watch
Advising the Chicoms on what to put on their tiles would be the least of the problems, although insulting islam would be a definite dealbreaker b/w the 2 countries
Giacomo Latta says
I can imagine what the koran would say about Chinese if Mo had ever met one. It would probably have obviated any present-day lovey-dovey between Pakistan and China.
DavidR says
Is the only connection to Islam those 4 letters? Can I copyright “pbuh”? Will Muslims finally understand that China is their real enemy, way more than a few thousand self described Zionists? Yes, probably not and unlikely.
jewdog says
The tiles in my bathroom only read pbuh after I brush my teeth with my electric toothbrush and the toothpaste splatters into blasphemous patterns. I usually have time to clean them off before my jihadist mother-in-law storms in.
wpm says
The Chinese should cast tiles with star of David and little crosses no one would care they could sell them world wide except to Islamic cave men who invent “blasphemous patterns” ! You could cast tiles with imagers of people performing oral sex and sell them in Italy next week nothing would happen! You can sell pork in Israel next week nothing would happen! Good luck with your new factories ,new port upgrades in Pakistan, China ,with all the killing of your own native people .in the last 50 years you richly earn the heart break you walk into with your own eyes wide open by how the Islamic people have treated western civilization for the last 1600 years GFY!!
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
What an uninformative news report! There isn’t even a photograph of the tile in question. What, precisely, is the objection of the rioters? That the H in PBUH refers to some “him” other than the Prophet (pbuh)?
Giacomo Latta says
They were smashed to smithereens. Would a photo of that helped?
gravenimage says
Pakistan: Muslims brutally beat Chinese workers, smash tiles they claim insulted Muhammad
………………
Bloody barbarians. I am *no* fan of Communist China, but this is savagery.
The Chinese plan to move into the Muslim world doesn’t seem to be going well. A Chinese bus was also bombed by Jihadissts not long ago.
Keith O says
Well, What are the Mudslimes offended by today?
This is almost like another Monty Python skit where everything that is said, done or not said and not done is offensive.
gravenimage says
It’s not as though the Communist Chinese would be apt to produce PBUH tiles on their own–no doubt some Muslims thought this would be popular, but misjudged the fanaticism of their coreligionists.
Infidel says
Really? I’d think that they had probably done it in Xinjiang, and probably decided to repeat the exercise in Pakistan, which ain’t a lot more independent of Beijing than Xinjiang is. And got this blowback
When they say ‘PBUK’, do they mean the Arabic ‘SAW’ that muslims say after Mohammed’s name everytime, or is it the English PBUH? The article wasn’t specific
gravenimage says
This is all Islamic.
Infidel says
I saw this article the day it appeared, and the same thought struck me! Either the Chicoms stop pouring money into a totally bankrupt Pakistan, or the Pakis keep rioting and forcing the CPC to do a cost-benefit analysis on that country in general, and the ummah in particular
But this is a variation of the ‘Alien vs Predator’ theme
Kashyap says
One brute killing the other brute. Pakistani Muslims will come to grief because of such acts, if China stops financing these Pakistani will have nothing to eat, thus strave..
OLD GUY says
Why do we still think bringing muslim/islamic people into our countries is a good idea. Everywhere these islamic people arrive they create trouble and violence for the local non-islamic citizens.
There’s a reason for secure borders. I guess that our political leaders don’t care who they let in just as along as they can get them to vote for their party. STUPID!
