Remember this the next time you hear someone say that Pakistan condemns terrorism.
“Pakistan to try blasphemy suspects under terrorism charges after pact with radical Islamist group,” Press Trust of India, June 19, 2023:
Succumbing to the demands of a radical Islamist party, the Pakistan government has agreed to try blasphemy suspects under terrorism charges in addition to the other sections of the country’s penal code.
The Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) ended its 25-day-long march protest at Sarai Alamgir, Gujrat district, some 200 km from Lahore, on Saturday after signing a pact with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led federal government.
Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the government has accepted “all legitimate” demands of the TLP, especially on blasphemy laws.
In a 12-point agreement signed on Saturday with the TLP, the federal government agreed to book those accused of committing blasphemy and charged with Section 295-C (use of derogatory remarks, etc., in respect of the Holy Prophet) of Pakistan Penal Code under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997, too.
“Besides, speedy trials of the blasphemy accused will be ensured. For the first time, a Counter Blasphemy Wing (CBW) will be established under the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA),” Sanaullah said, adding the government would ensure steps to block blasphemous content on social media.
The radical Islamic group gained political capital as the federal government agreed to issue a letter declaring that the TLP was not a terrorist organisation, the Dawn newspaper reported….

“the government has accepted “all legitimate” demands of the TLP, especially on blasphemy laws.”
Of course they have; the “radical islamist group” commits the terrorism and those who might be saying the Truth about islam, its book of evil filth, or its fake prophet, are the terrorists.
Sounds very much like the U.S. government…dhs, doj and fbi going along with…and paying…the splc for all who are on its list of who is a terrorist and who is a complete group of terrorists. The same kind of thing….Tell the Truth about what is going on, and get the label of terrorist.
DHZ says
Muslims make better protestors than rulers.
somehistory says
Absolutely. They complain, and then complain some more. In fact, some of their complaining results in gaining power as rulers.
DHZ says
Pakistan has so many more important problems than making blasphemy laws even more punitive than they already are. Poverty for instance.
Raja says
DHZ,
Never mind about the problems on hand, the evil god must be given the place it is due. I wonder how many vultures (nations) will wait for the demise of that evil state.

The more fragile and fake your religion the more violence you need in order to ‘protect’ it.
It’s similar to the way some fascist/tyrannical states, gangs or evil kingdoms are run…insult us and we jail/torture/kill you. I recall Russia has similar stringent rules on criticizing Putin and his evil regime.
Whatever happened to ‘god does the judging?’ If your religion can’t withstand a bit of questioning, criticism and rigorous debate, then you’re admitting it’s a sham…a con you’re running on everyone else…though you’re really not fooling anyone but yourself.
In order to keep your scam going (or to stay in power) ofc it’d require silencing anyone who can see through your BS.
As others have noted, Pakshitstan has way bigger problems than some critic ‘insulting’ (speaking truthfully) about their evil death cult, like poverty, running water, electricity, food, etc…much the same as Hamas, Iran and other Islamic shitholes.
They’re so insanely obsessed with ‘following’ their religion, they don’t even take care of the basic needs of the people and building their infrastructure.
Sad, pathetic, stupid, useless people. If Muslims take power in a nice city, they’ll ruin it, much like the mayor of London has done.
Muslims shouldn’t be anywhere near positions of power and given how evil, retarded and dangerous they are, it’s best to lock them up or at least keep them out of civilized countries (to state the obvious).
