26-year-old Aneeqa Ateeq’s crime was depicting images of Muhammad for her WhatsApp status. In Pakistan, any potential insult, perceived insult, or even the vengeful conjuring up of an accusation about insulting Muhammad is harshly punished, in keeping with Islamic law. (See Abu Dawud Book 38 no 4348.) Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan seeks to export Islamic blasphemy laws globally. The West won’t look like Pakistan any time soon, but insidiously and persistently attacking free speech that offends Islam is an effective first step, hence the “Islamophobia” canard being imposed upon the West at every turn.
“Muslim Woman In Pakistan Sentenced To Death For ‘Blasphemous’ Text Messages,” Radio Free Europe, January 20, 2022:
A Pakistani court has sentenced a Muslim woman to death after convicting her of sending a blasphemous text message and caricatures of Prophet Muhammad to a friend.
The court in the city of Rawalpindi on January 19 ordered Aneeqa Ateeq, 26, to be “hanged by her neck till she is dead.” She was also given a long-term prison sentence.
Ateeq was arrested in May 2020 and charged with posting “blasphemous material” as her WhatsApp status, according to a summary issued by the court.
It said that when a friend urged her to change it, she instead forwarded the material to him.
Images depicting Prophet Muhammad are deemed blasphemous by many Muslims.
Blasphemy is an explosive issue in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where laws prohibiting it can carry a potential death sentence — although it has never been enforced for the crime.
According to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, up to 80 people are known to be imprisoned in the country on blasphemy charges, half of whom face life in prison or the death penalty.
Critics say Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are unevenly applied and frequently abused to settle personal disputes.
Even unproven allegations of blasphemy can stir up violence and large protests in the country….

Bearing false witness is an occupation in shi—fhole countries. The Old Testament
forbids it, which shows just how long it has been an occupation. Only beaten out in length of service by prostitution.

what is the difference from this pakistani woman and samuel paty in france??? these stories come from the european countries now also…. shariah imposed worldwide and endless jihad within europe…. with the current government in the usa, it is now on the same path with europe… what happens in europe today will happen in the usa also when there is equivalent numbers of muslims… the difference is the non muslim population which in europe is much smaller and divided into countries therefore the shariah imposition started earlier here than usa… its all being prepared for usa also to have the same problems as the european countries, and foremost, to have the same solutions to those problems is more than sure with the current leadership…

Thank you for saying this born saturday. I’ve been saying the same to fellow Canadians who, because we have no media that tells the truth about what’s going on in Europe or our own country. They seem to have a daft idea that a murderous ideology disappears when one flies over an ocean.

“They seem to have a daft idea that a murderous ideology disappears when one flies over an ocean.”
Or floats over an ocean or walks through a border or seeks asylum/migration or talks to Pope Francis.

The fake “prophet,” written as a raper of children, mass-murderer, thief, liar, slave trader, pig-slayer, should have been hung. As it is, the sack of maggot dung is ***dead***…if he ever actually lived, he is no longer alive…and cannot “know anything, do anything, feel or think anything,” because in death, one returns to dust.
This piece of filth commanded that all worship him, but he was unfit for even a small measure of respect.
Those who murder others because they did not worship the son of satan, and through that one, satan himself, will face Divine Justice and it will be *evenly* and *fairly* administered.

The man never existed. He is up there with Santa Claus. He was simply a creation out of Baghdad in the 8th, 9th and 10th Centuries.

No one is murdering in the name of Santa Claus, of course. Would that this were true of Muhammed…

And global feminists say…??
Westman says
Crickets. They don’t get more in their own country for defending women elsewhere.
On the bright side, Breitbart picked up the story. Millions of Americans will have an accurate vision of what Islam created in Pakistan. I can’t envision how CAIR believes it can create a good image of Islam in America when whole Muslim nations behave in this way – setting about to murder women and men who may not precisely agree with Islamic dogma.
Then again it was Islam that killed its own “golden age” after building some of the most beautiful architecture and after engaging in an early enlightenment. Then Europe sprinted ahead as Islam stagnated under oppressive rules.
Islam, “shoots itself in the foot.”

I believe in equal rights for women and I condemn this. But all too many “feminists” are silent.

How can anyone be accused of making an image of a person who lived before there were any means of recording what he looked like?
The only way this could happen is if you were to draw a picture of a fat dwarf with an arrow pointed at him saying this is Mohammad!
Bikinis not Burkas says
Don’t forget that the fat dwarf was also white with a red beard!

Horrible that they sentence someone to death because of this. Mohamed did much worse things.
Westman says
If the West could get off its oil addiction, it could simply stop trading with all Muslim nations and let them realize the true cost of Islam and the enslaving of women. ME Islam is riding the currents of oil money, directly, and/or indirectly. It may not produce anything of quality yet can certainly buy it.
Islamic terrorist organizations have a lifetime business funded by oil money and bad foreign policy “aid”. As long as men can produce little, while being subsidized by the work of subdued women, those men will not be granting women anything close to equality.
James Lincoln says
Westman,
To your point:
Following the first OPEC oil embargo in 1973, the United States should have started a crash Manhattan Project style program to permanently stop any need for oil from muslim countries.
We didn’t do it – and got hit with another disruption in supply occurring in 1979 following the Iranian revolution..
Finally, under Pres. Trump, we were the leading producer of energy in the world – until Biden shut it down…
Westman says
True, James. All part of forcing citizens to aquire electric vehicles, moving the pollution to the generating plants and becoming dependent upon fleecing dealerships because electric cars will be too complex for owner servicing.
What was that line in the movie “Vacation”? “How much you got?”

Westman, Pakistan only produces a little over 88,000 barrels per day of oil as of 2016, and ranks 53rd in the world in oil production. The US and Canada produce far more oil.

What a horrible ugly mentally ill cult. Civilization needs to develop a vaccine to eradicate Islam.

It is very easy to eradicate Islam if the Western Governments want to, all they have to do is inform them that Allah is actually Muhammad who knew SFA about Science and Biology!

I do think we should speak out about the irrationality of Islam–but I’m afraid the idea that if Infidels speak negatively about Islam that all Muslims will immediately abandon it is mistaken.
Infidel says
From this article, it’s not obvious that Aneeqa Ateeq put up those images b’cos she condemned Mohammed, or b’cos she admired him. I’m suspecting that it’s the latter, given that everyone in Pakistan knows that doing anything perceived to be hostile to Mohammed would end up like this, and that she still seems to be muslim, rather than Christian.
If she is actually a fan of the imaginary founder of islam, then I’d put her at the back of the line as far as sympathies go. There are too many actual enemies of islam who deserve my support more
gravenimage says
Quite possible, Infidel. But this savagery should be condemned in any case.
OLD GUY says
Wake up world, is this what you want ruling your world? Islam is the total control of thought and freedom of expression. Being diverse is fine but there are limits to how far you can allow a person or group to be in society. Being diverse doesn’t mean you allow slavery, child marriages, honor killing, or one group to dictate the rules of your society over another. Islam will bring that to your society.
