What are the chances that Pakistan will repeal its draconian blasphemy laws, under which so many innocent people have been victimized? About nil.
“Pakistan minister calls for beheading of blasphemers,” UCA News, May 1, 2020:
Pakistan’s minister of state for parliamentary affairs has called for the beheading of people who commit blasphemy.
“Beheading is the only punishment for those who mock Prophet Muhammad,” Ali Muhammad Khan tweeted in the Urdu language.
Khan made the controversial comments in response to conflicting reports that Ahmadis had been given representation on a newly established National Minorities Council. Ahmadis do not believe that Muhammad was the last prophet.
Rabwah Times, an independent digital media publication covering minorities, first reported that Prime Minister Imran Khan had given his consent to include Ahmadis in the council.
The report, which was also aired by local TV channels, sparked hateful media campaigns targeting the minority Ahmadi community.
Multiple trends appeared on Twitter condemning the government for including Ahmadis in the council. Many demanded that Ahmadis be declared traitors.
In a separate video statement on April 30, Ali Khan categorically denied media reports that Ahmadis would be added to the minorities council.
“No such decision has been taken by the cabinet. Imran Khan rejected the proposal, saying it’s a sensitive topic which should not be touched,” the minister said.
“Qadiyanis [a slang term for Ahmadis] can only become part of any commission if they first declare themselves to be non-Muslims as per the constitution of Pakistan. If they don’t accept the Pakistani constitution, there is no question of them being part of any commission….

Westman says
No one needs to mock Muhammad. Islam’s own Hadiths and other Islamic records of Muhammad’s life paint a distinct picture of his personal life, character, and the destruction left in his wake.
All that is required for the truth about Muhammad is for the world to read Islam’s own records without apologists in the way. There is a desperate effort underway to preserve a vision of Muhammad that is inconsistent with his actual life by emphasizing what seems to be consistent with modern values and compassion while purposefully omitting those records that show his barbaric traits and actions.
For the average Muslim, reading the actual details of Muhammad’s life is not faith promoting and the real work of study is left to the clerics who profit from a position of reverence. It seems when Muslims actually study Islam’s works, we get apostacy or jihadists.

Indeed. Lay Muslims actually studying Islamic sources for themselves is also a new phenomenon. The ummah has historically been formally divided into a cast system of those who “bear knowledge” and those who receive it. Those who receive knowledge, have, throughout history, 100% trusted what those who “bear knowledge” told them about their religion, all questioning having been brainwashed out of them in early childhood. One aspect of the contemporary crisis of Islam is that “the guardians, transmitters and interpreters of religious knowledge” are, for the first time in history, unable to maintain their monopoly on that knowledge, not least because, also for the first time in history, increasing literacy among Muslims is severely undermining that monopoly. Of course there are several other factors, but the “scholars” and the clergy in general are fighting a losing battle and making increasing fools of themselves in the process. Most of them just don’t know it yet.

Patrick says
Muhammad/Allah are perversions of children and young women, justified by Muhammad/Allah, perversions of death because Muhammad killed for the advancement of Islam/Allah, therefore; Muslims love death, love jihad, love Muhammad/Allah.
James says
This throws in question interfaith dialogue. What reason could there be for trying to talk through problems when the ideologies are so different. Actually one has to defend one’s culture, not open it to “diversity” as the great glue that binds together societies and makes them stronger.
Lilith Wept says
There are some things that simply can not be reconciled together….when they are direct opposites. Like oil and water. You only think they are blended. But they WILL separate out into their separate components.
You can’t have interfaith dialog when it’s the Christians , Jews, Hindu etc that have to do all the compromising . There can be no “ common ground” as long as Islam refuses to do any compromising.
And Islam refuses to even do the most basic thing of living together equally and peacefully. Where ever it goes it continually pushed to spread, become dominate , and eliminate all other religions, to become the only religion.
This is why islam can’t be tolerated in the West.
PRCS says
When ‘religion’ prevents rational thought.
When failure to comply demands *divine* punishments for ‘believers’.
When it demands that those of other faiths (Asia Bibi) be subjected to ‘my religion’s’ punishments
When it’s religion uber alles.
mortimer says
Islam forbids questioning of its many anomalies and contradictions. This teaching of censorship of Muslims is called TAQLID … a teaching often described as ‘BLIND FOLLOWING’.
FYI says
Ok let’s not ridicule muhammed…
But let’s just remind folk that muhammed had a magical winged FLYING DONKEY with a woman’s face and a peacock tail called buraq{Google it for pics}
I mean,THAT wouldn’t ridicule perfect mo would it?
Or him visiting a mosque in Jerusalem that didn’t exist in mo’s time{Koran 17:1}
Oh……and the “prophet” was fat{Abu Dawud 40:4731}
See?That’s from islamic sources:Do muslims deny their own islamic sources?
islamic sources ridicule muhammed.
mortimer says
I haven’t read anything in the Islamic source texts that mocks Mohammed, but there are many claims that are beyond absurd, like the flying donkey. Even Mohammed’s original 100 Muslims found this dream of Mohammed’s disturbing and shattering to their faith in him. Many reportedly left Islam over the flying donkey dream.

“Beheading is the only punishment for those who mock Prophet Mohammed.”
Comin’ right back at you, Buttlim rube, and here it is: Anyone extolling the Profiteer Mohammed should be mocked unmercifully for getting things ass-backwards, which is so fitting considering the ridiculous position the way Mohammedans pray—with assess in the air.
All of which goes to the matter of how Islam will finally be put on the trash heap of history, as it so richly deserves, whether by way of crushing it or mocking it. Probably a combo.
I have no respect for Islam. No one of sense and knowledge should. There is no Allah, the Koran is a putrid hate manual (damn stupid too) and the character of Mo is repulsive many times over.
YYCAlberta says
Okay, but how do you really feel?
Wellington says
Yes, I was being diplomatic, which is to say vague, and making things not quite clear about where I stand on Islam. Next time, YWCAlberta, I will try to be more precise and to the point respecting my take on Mo’s creed. I’ll work on it.
In any case, sorry for the many obscure shades of grey I conveyed by my comment. Oh yeah, have to do better. No question. I mean one has to take an unambiguous stand on things of great importance and I failed miserably here.

True, Wellington!

Pakistan is showing signs of ramping up its rhetoric in preparation for a genocide. Pakistan committed an actual genocide in 1971 when 3 million Bengalis were murdered by the Pak army.
It is not unreasonable to predict a genocide within Pakistan. Of course, should a wave of extreme persecution break out in Pakistan the complicit FACEBOOK and TWITTER owners will suppress all information or criticism so that the leaders of Pakistan are not shamed in the court of world opinion.

Muslims have already driven out forcibly converted, or murdered most of the few remaining non-Muslims there.
Merri-joy says
The word BLASPHEMY occurs in the Bible 12 times; Blasphemer x 1 and Blasphemous x 2 – Muslim’s are the true blasphemers! Christianity was well established before Islam! GOD warned about false Prophets in the Torah, the Old & the New Testament!
We should have a WORLD WIDE televised debate with the best Apologists e.g. David Wood & Lawyers representing Jews, Christians & Muslim’s, in front of Judges and the ECLJ with the verdict of Islam clearly shown to be false.
Abraham Stubenhaus says
Wow!
As we look back at the history of Islam, we must say, we haven’t heard a threatening remark like that in four minutes!
Jimmyjohn says
Your Mohammed is a piece of garbage, he was murdered because of his child sex antics and child enslavement and woman abusing there is only ONE TRUE GOD, JESUS CHRIST!!!
Jack Cade says
Mohamed was a lying, looting, raping, murdering psychopathic pedophile who squatted to piss like an old woman. I guess I’ll have to cancel my trip to Pakiland now.

I have always been an advocate of women pissing standing up . Does that make me an Islamaphobe!

………………………
Bloody barbarian. And this is no “extremist”, but a high-ranking governmental minister. This is what mainstream Islam teaches.

UN news about a conference in Islamabad in February 2020, organized by the Pakistani Government and the UN refugee agency (UNHCR):
“Mr. Guterres said it was time for the world to take a step back and “look at Pakistan through a wider frame.”
“One of the main purposes of my visit is to spotlight the real Pakistan — with all its possibility and potential,”
Like Wellington, I have no respect for Islam. And I have no respect for governments and organisations ignoring the facts and bowing to Islam.

I am surprised that they haven’t issued an edict that parents of female children must be beheaded if their daughters haven’t had a clitorectomy. After all, if a woman is allowed to keep her clitoris, we all know she will be a real slut.
OLD GUY says
Why would you have to mock Muhammad when you have idiots like this guy doing it for us. If your prophet Muhammad is so great why do you have to be worried about comments or questions about his teachings and life style? Seems to me you have questions yourself or doubts about your following a false prophet so you don’t want to hear other ideas or religious points, so you have to kill anyone who questions your decision to follow Muhammad. Then again muslims tend to have mental issues.
Wayne Roberts says
Allah is a mindless myth.
Mohammed was a vicious warlord and a bloody paedophile.
Muslims are deluded fools.
Behead yourself dickheads, the world would be a better place.
