Common sense. Yet it eluded foreign policy “experts” for nearly two decades. “Trump Stopped Providing Military Aid To Pakistan As It Harbours Terrorists: Nikki Haley,” ANI, Updated: October 25, 2020 (thanks to Lookmann): President Donald Trump has stopped providing “billion dollars” in military aid to Pakistan as it harbours terrorists who were trying to kill […]
Pakistan’s Khan denounces Macron for ‘encouragement of Islamophobia’ and trying to ‘deliberately provoke’ Muslims
Khan says that “by attacking Islam, clearly without having any understanding of it, President Macron has attacked and hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims in Europe and across the world, The last thing the world wants or needs is further polarisation. Public statements based on ignorance will create more hate, Islamophobia and space for […]
Pakistan: Muslim slaps Christian and drags her into street for calling out to a relative using his Christian name
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) […]
Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl kidnapped, converted to Islam, forced to marry the man who abducted her
These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, authorities generally share the same assumptions, so the family of Arzoo Masih is unlikely to get justice. Meanwhile, the international “human rights community” […]
Sajid Mir: The Ghost In Hiding
With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) decision on Pakistan expected to be out shortly, there is frenetic activity to try and tick all the boxes (only in letter, not in spirit) so that Pakistan isn’t pushed into the “Blacklist” and cut off from the international financial markets and trade. At one level, the Pakistani […]
Father of Muslim who stabbed two outside Charlie Hebdo office is ‘proud’ of son, who is ‘hero across all Pakistan’
Why is Zaheer Mahmoud being celebrated as a hero? We are constantly told that Muslims who support violence in the name of Islam are a tiny minority of extremists who have twisted and hijacked the religion’s teachings of peace and tolerance. So why aren’t Muslim organizations in Pakistan and all over the world condemning Zaheer […]
Pakistan’s Khan ‘pleased’ with country’s reelection to UN Human Rights Council, vows fight against ‘Islamophobia’
Pakistan’s presence on the UN Human Rights Council only illustrates yet again what a cruel joke the UN really is. Pakistan has an abysmal human rights record. Morning Star News reported on October 6 that “Pakistan ranked fifth on Christian support organization Open Doors 2020 World Watch list of the 50 countries where it is […]
Pakistan: Muslim clerics say they won’t administer marriage ceremonies if celebrations include music and dance
These clerics only banned music at weddings. They must be moderates. Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, but it’s nonetheless true: Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, […]
Friends of slain UK drug and gang kingpin to build a mosque in his honor in Pakistan
Jihad Watch UK correspondent Joshua Winston reported in September that “Omar Sadiq was a violent criminal and drug lord who was a blight on the city of Glasgow. He was part of an organized crime gang, and he served prison time for ramming one of his rivals off the road in his car while being […]
Pakistan: Biscuit ad banned for being ‘against Islam,’ and ‘people across the country are scared’
Why are people across the country scared? Because at least some of those who are enraged over this biscuit ad think that something they perceive as un-Islamic is worse than committing murder over something they perceive as un-Islamic. “Biscuit advertisement banned in Pakistan, Minister says, ‘It’s against Islam,’” by Vinod Rathore, NewsTrackLive, October 9, 2020: […]
Pakistan: Muslim professor murders Ahmadi professor after argument over religion
When you have a religion that mandates death for heresy and apostasy, this kind of thing is going to happen in the “fort of Islam.” “Muslim professor shoots dead fellow Pakistani academic after the two argued about their different religions,” by Clare McCarthy, Mailonline, October 5, 2020 (thanks to Inexion): A Pakistani Muslim professor shot […]
Pakistan: Sindh governor boasts that the country is a nuclear power and ‘fort of Islam’
Westerners routinely assume that Islamic supremacists and jihadists are an aberration, no matter how many times Islamic leaders say otherwise, and how compellingly even the most cursory reading of Islamic texts demonstrates otherwise. In Pakistan, the governor of Sindh addressed a group that included high-ranking government officials; he boasted about Islam’s supremacy and about Pakistan […]
Ex-CIA chief: ‘Very difficult to believe that there wasn’t somebody in Pakistan who was aware’ of Osama’s compound
Indeed. This sham alliance is self-defeating for the US and should have been ended long ago. “US did not share Osama bin Laden’s location with Pakistan due to lack of trust: Ex-CIA chief Panetta,” PTI, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): …Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist and the then al-Qaeda chief, was […]
Pakistan’s Prime Minister claims at UN that India ‘sponsors anti-Muslim hate’
Khan has been pushing aggressively at the UN to advance his agenda regarding the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and to rally support for the “Islamophobia” subterfuge. Now, Imran Khan has “assailed” the Indian government for what he calls cementing “control of Muslim-majority Kashmir,” while “calling India a state sponsor of hatred and prejudice […]
Cognitive dissonance: Pakistan’s Khan says Muhammad is his role model as he laments rape of children and women
Khan disingenuously blames India, and specifically its entertainment industry, for the rise in rapes in Pakistan, but there is a cause that is closer to hand that he ignores. The man whom Khan invokes as his role model, the Islamic prophet Muhammad, consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and because […]
Pakistan: Father of Muslim who went on stabbing spree in Paris over Muhammad cartoons says he’s ‘happy’ with son
This is no surprise. Nor are father and son “extremists.” Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad […]
Pakistan’s Prime Minister at UN: “This Assembly should declare an ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia'”
In calling for this, Khan is echoing Turkey’s Erdogan, who called for the same thing last Tuesday. Khan and Erdogan want the UN to criminalize criticism of Islam in the guise of acting against “hate speech” and “Islamophobia.” “Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, […]
US ambassador-designate to Pakistan: ‘Pakistan must take sustained and irreversible action against terrorism’
We have been waiting for Pakistan to take sustained and irreversible action against terrorism for nineteen years now. How many more years is it going to take before mainstream foreign policy analysts wake up and realize that Pakistan is not a reliable ally and never will be, unless there is a major transformation in Pakistani […]
Pakistan: Muslims kidnap 17-year-old Sikh girl, force her to convert to Islam, 55th such case in 9 months
The Pakistani government has not been able to trace the whereabouts of any of these girls. Has it even tried? The kidnapping and forced conversion of Hindu girls is also taking place in Pakistan. In late June, 102 Hindus were reportedly converted to Islam; “all idols of Hindu gods kept in a local temple were […]
Pakistan: Muslim beats, rapes 6-year-old Christian girl, threatens to rape her again if parents continue court case
Even worse, the family is unlikely to get justice in a Pakistani court. This is just another instance in the ongoing persecution of Christians in Pakistan, which receives scant notice internationally, because it doesn’t fit the mainstream narrative. “Muslim paedophile and his friends threaten to re-rape Christian child of 6 yrs and her sisters if […]
