Imagine if clerics of any other religion behaved in this way. The international media would be in an uproar for weeks. But you’ll only hear about this here.
“Pakistani mob attacks funeral of Ahmadi woman,” Rabwah Times, June 11, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A mob led by right-wing Muslim clerics attacked the funeral of an Ahmadi woman in Pakistan’s northwestern region on Sunday.
The minority Ahmadis were gathered in Chak 79 in the northwestern state of Punjab for a funeral service of an Ahmadi woman. As the Ahmadis entered the local cemetery, a mob of locals burst into the burial grounds, pelted stones at mourners, and beat them with sticks. However, the Ahmadis stood their ground and completed the burial.
The whole incident was captured on a viral video which prompted a heated reaction from Muslim clerics across Pakistan. Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer, a radical cleric pressed the Police to side with Muslims instead of Ahmadis. Zaheer also met with the district Police officials and DC Sheikhpura and released a video in which he announced that the administration had accepted all three conditions that they had set out
Zaheer said the conditions include the following, no legal action against Muslim attackers, instead, legal action will be taken against Ahmadis, and in the future, no Ahmadi will be buried in the local graveyard….
Fred van de Bunt says
I wander why the “Muslim clerics” are described as “right wing”. They might as well have been called revolutionary “left wing”.
I think these clerics do as the warlord Mohammed did. And to stand your ground is not being friends with the wahibi Saudi’s, like the USA does. Neither is that having the Islamist Erdogan from Turkey as your closest ally within NATO defense systems.
Somehow things do not ad up logically, as I see them from Europe. Fortunately, people in France, like me in the Netherlands, start thinking the same. It seems that the global investment banker Macron might loose against Le Pen, that wants France to stay France.
Infidel says
Speaking of Macron, it’s amazing how so many modern socialists these days work in some of the most capitalist entities in the world, such as Financial consulting companies, Capital Markets, Investment Banking, Asset Management and so on. One saw the same w/ AOC’s aide who was the Green New Deal author Saikat Chakrabarti, who worked at a payment processing company Stripe. It helps that their employers are about as woke as they are
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
It’s not so much that Leftists make their money in capitalist markets – it’s how they spend the money that they make.
George Soros would be the perfect example:
Money made through managing Soros Fund Management / advising the Quantum Fund.
Money spent on Leftists causes through the Open Society Foundations…
Infidel says
True, but they claim not to believe in Capitalism, and do everything to undermine it. Yet, in their own lives, they happily enrich themselves w/ what Capitalism has to offer
James Lincoln says
That’s true, Infidel.
Leftist hypocrisy on steroids…

So true, Infidel.

France was a kind of forerunner in the plans of an united Europe, that is somehow doomed, as it is just too deviant from nature or God’s plan for mankind.
It started with socialism and then color blindness (seemingly trivial), a warped concept of Christianity with tons of self abasement (not bible based), ultra socialism including globalization and weird alliance of unequals in Europe.It is this recipe of contradictions that has put Macron in a tight spot. Hopefully, he can’t survive for far too long.
PRCS says
As a totalitarian theocracy, Islam IS “right wing”.
Amazing that politicians and so-called journalists think it’s a warm and fuzzy “progressive” ideology.
The clerics referred to are the best Muslims.
Infidel says
So what exactly is ‘right-wing’ about islam?
PRCS says
Both democracy and theocracy are systems of governance. Each is antithetical to and incompatible with the other.
Islam is a totalitarian theocracy. Nothing liberal about it.
Infidel says
You seem to suggest that anything democratic is inherently left wing. Somehow, the last 2 years in the US seem to suggest anything but that
PRCS says
Nope.
PRCS says
Democracy, as a system of governance, is neither left nor right-wing.
Not familiar with any left-wing theocracies.
PRCS says
In the not too distant past, the citizens of Western nations could sigh, “glad that crap only happens over there”.
Keith O says
PRCS, That is unfortunately true.
Now the barbarians are everywhere.
Raja says
Nuclear powered Pakistan with Sharia cannot be a guiding light for even a banana republic.Where is the human rights in this third world gutter when mobs run amok with impunity everyday under the guise of Islam, the lawless evil system?

Pakistan: Muslim clerics lead mob to attack Ahmadi funeral, throw stones at mourners and beat them with sticks
…………………
Damn barbarians.
tim gallagher says
Ah, yes, there’s that basically peaceful Islam in action again. Muslims never seem to be happy unless they are indulging in some type of violent activity. It’s only what you would expect from a religious ideology whose central book, the Koran, is full of so much hatred and so many calls for violence. Islam creates violent monsters. That is the main thing it seems to do. And we still have so many fools around who can’t seem to see that.
