A Muslim woman in the United States was recently horrified to discover that her McDonald’s McChicken sandwich was enveloped in a blue and white wrapper, which she was quite convinced showed secret support for the colonial-settler apartheid genocidal state of Israel, as those are the very colors of the Israeli flag. A world away, a maddened Muslim crowd in Lahore, Pakistan was getting ready to lynch a woman because, they claimed, she was wearing a dress with Arab writing all over it which, the crowd claimed, must surely be quotations from the Qur’an. And that would constitute a form of blasphemy. In Islam the punishment for blasphemy is death. Robert Spencer wrote briefly on the latter incident here, and more on the story can be found here: “‘We use Arabic, it is our language’: Kuwait-based designer company slams Pakistanis for ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ slogans against a girl wearing Arabic dress,” OpIndia, February 26, 2024:
Following a near-lynching incident of a Pakistani girl wearing an Arabic print dress, and her facing threats of ‘sar tan se juda’, the Kuwait-based company that designed the dress lambasted Pakistanis for sending them “disturbing” messages and dragging them into the episode.
Instagram handle semplicitakw shared a story in which it reminded Pakistanis that the brand uses Arabic texts in different fonts ‘everywhere’, hinting about the dress that triggered an Islamist mob. Notably, the mob had assaulted the woman while chanting slogans of ‘sar tan se juda’ because they believed she committed ‘Gusthaki’ [blasphemy] by wearing a dress with Arabic calligraphy.
In their post, the Kuwaitian company wrote, “Dear pakistani people, We have nothing to do with the recent incident that happened to the innocent girl. We are based in Kuwait company (sic) And we do NOT ship worldwide. Please stop following and messaging since its (sic) really disturbing.”
The Kuwaiti company simply asked the Pakistani mob to stop blaming it for the girl in Pakistan who had chosen to wear one of its dresses — one with Arabic lettering all over it. By insisting that “we do NOT ship worldwide,” it is attempting to suggest that it would never have expected that dress to be worn by someone in Pakistan, so please don’t get your knickers in a twist and threaten a perfectly innocent woman with death. Her dress was made in Kuwait, and was not intended for the export market. What the company ought to have said is quite different: “Listen, you Pakistanis. Calm down. The Arabic writing, which you cannot understand, has nothing to do with the Qur’an. Whoever suggested that it did is either an ignoramus who is pretending to recognize the Arabic writing as from the Qur’an — it isn’t — or more likely, is a malicious rival in the clothing business who wants to inflame the Pakistanis, and other Muslims as well, against our products. Let us repeat it; the Arabic on the dress is NOT from the Qur’an.”
Pointing toward the use of Arabic on the dress based on which Islamist mob considered it an act of Gusthaki [blasphemy], the company added, “We use arabic words and letters in different fonts everywhere since its our language!”
Meanwhile, according to the Instagram handle, the dress had been in the public [sic] for almost over 48 weeks, that is nearly a year. Notably, Kuwait is also an Islamic country where the company had unveiled and sold its dresses but the outrage erupted in Pakistan. Pakistanis got outraged over the presumption of Arabic texts being some ‘Quranic verses’ which according to Islamists would be wrong to print on dress casually and attracts ‘Gusthaki’ or blasphemy which is punishable by death in Pakistan.
These Pakistanis have only encountered the Arabic language in the Qur’an; they assume that any Arabic that crosses their path must, therefore, come from the Qur’an. So even if they haven’t the faintest idea what is printed on that woman’s dress, it must surely be the Qur’an, and she — even though she too can’t read Arabic —should nonetheless be held liable for blasphemy, and executed.
Several netizens also slammed Pakistanis over the incident and putting a woman’s life in danger for the random use of Arabic and considering anything written in Arabic as Quranic verses or its adulteration.
Along with the lunatics screaming about blasphemy, there have been Muslims on social media pointing out, again and again, how idiotic is the charge against the dress and all those who wear it.
Pakistani journalist in exile Taha Siddiqui wrote, “Even the designer is fed up!,” along with a poster on which the text read, “The designer of Arabic print dress that became controversial doesn’t want Pakistani followers.”…
The Kuwaiti company clearly is fed up with these semi-demented Pakistanis screaming “blasphemy” over the perfectly inoffensive dress. The diesnger of the dress doesn’t want his creations sold in Pakistan, doesn’t want Pakistanis following him — and no doubt excoriating him — on social media.
Given the craziness of this Muslim mob, no appeal to common sense had any effect. Could it possibly have been that a Pakistani woman, a Muslim, would be out in public in the middle of Lahore, wearing a dress with Qur’anic verses printed on it, which would be a suicidal undertaking? Would a Kuwaiti company, its market consisting overwhelmingly, and possibly exclusively, of Muslims, have printed Qur’anic verses on one of its productions? It’s all absurd. But once a Muslim mob, having been whipped up into a frenzy, decides that something must mean such-and-so, it will no longer listen to reason. The madness of crowds takes over; the truth no longer matters; the woman must be punished for her nonexistent blasphemy. It was only a policewoman who protected her from the mob and no doubt saved her life.
Despite what the Kuwaiti dress designer said, despite what other native speakers of Arabic have maintained, about the Arabic words on the by-now infamous dress having nothing to do with the Qur’an, the Pakistani woman remains, possibly permanently, in danger. There is bound to be some Muslim fanatic in Pakistan who will take it into his head — next week, next month, next year — to punish her for what he remains convinced was an act of blasphemy.
Yes, this is one more for the books. And the book in question is “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Muslim Crowds.” It’s being compiled right now by that famous authorial team of siblings — Hazmat, Zamzam, Hadith, Jihad, and Osama Barghouti. And “The Tale of the Blaspheming Dress” will certainly be included.

muslims will use any excuse to murder someone even if it’s another muslim. It’s the islamic way, it’s pure islam.
tharmon says
I realize now that saying “izlamic nutjob” is redundant. Inbreeding leads to that. I guess Oola didn’t know that. Some deity!
gravenimage says
Inbreeding is *never* a good idea. But not every inbred population is violent. Islam certainly is, though.

A Tale of Two Nations.
In 1948 the Indian Muslims pressed for the part of India now called Pakistan to be given them for their own Muslim Nation. What did they make of it? Many political assassinations including lawyers, military governments, not to mention many honour killisngs and murders of non Muslims for ‘blasphemy; unproven. They have also murdered UN vaccination teams. Another country created about the same time was Israel, what do we see there? Starting with basically nothing and being repeatedly attacked on all sides by their Muslim neighbours, they proceeded to create a prosperous, democratic nation, where all religions can live alongside each other and all citizens get to vote in elections and can sit in the parliament, When left alone it is usually peaceful, but It is also for its size one of the most powerful nations in the world. Its inhabitants are also hugely talented. What you have then is the contrast between civilisation and barbarism
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Why did the Kuwaiti company express surprise that the dress had been “exported”? That Paki woman could well have visited Kuwait, and bought that dress while there, since she was intrigued by the calligraphy on the dress. Also, Urdu (Pakistan’s main language) uses the same script as Arabic – Nastaliq, so couldn’t they simply have read it, & concluded that it was Arabic, if it didn’t spell out Urdu words?
Maybe that woman could try seeking asylum in Kuwait?
SLA says
Dear beloved ࿗Infidel࿘:
You are assuming they can read at all.
Illiteracy is rampant throughout the Muslim microverse.
I view the Muslim “world” like CS Lewis’ vision of Hell . . . Infinitely small, full of small people who can think only small thoughts. Hence “microverse.”
England Invaded says
England is full of them. They must be removed.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
One of the features of the Koran is that when expedient, relevant verses can be abrogated. For example, when the wicked desire to murder this innocent woman, a mere chattel, needs to be sated.
James Lincoln says
Lots of low IQ muslims in Pakistan.
The average IQ is 81.

tharmon says
I would say it is the reverse..18. Inbred idiots.
Mike says
I’m surprised that India is supposedly lower than Pakistan, though, at 77. I think that malnutrition and poverty in India may explain it. Plus, as it’s an average, it also includes the large Muslim minority there. Any thoughts, anyone?
Mike says
Apparently, in order to have a truly successful democracy, along with a prosperous economy, plus secularism (official separation of religion and government) and egalitarianism (basic equality before the law), a country needs to have an average IQ of 90 points or so.
James Lincoln says
That sounds about right, Mike.
Christopher Watson says
I seem to remember in the 70s that Sweden was way over 80. What happened there?
tim gallagher says
Both madness and badness (as in sheer evil and total barbarity) of islam on display. An innocent woman buys some dress because she likes the pattern on it, like a design on a piece of abstract art, and the scum from islam seek to incriminate her and kill her. Islam is such a load of unadulterated shit. It is so perfect for evil people who get to kill endless innocent people on trumped charges. What a better world it would be without islam fouling it up.
tharmon says
+1 Two thumbs up. Get rid of the muzzies and peace will return to most of the world.
tim gallagher says
tharmon, It would certainly greatly improve the human race and bring so much more peace to the world if islam did die out somehow. It turns so many human beings into evil monsters.
Rick Smith says
Exaclty Tim…well said.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Rick. Now, how to find a way to make islam disappear from the human race. It is going to be very hard to achieve but, hopefully, in the long run, it can be done. What an improvement it would be.
Rick Smith says
I’m all for it Tim…I believe in using all options on the table. The trouble is that we have idiots in gov’t who don’t still yet understand that Islam is an enemy ideology and not a peaceful religion with a few bad apples.
Once war is finally declared on Islam as it was with Nazism then we can ‘relax’ as the state will do it’s thing and root out and remove Muslims.
Until then, it’s going to be an uphill fight all the way…I firmly believe the key is education…if we can get 70-80% of the population to see Islam in its true form as we do here on JW…then the rest will take care of itself.
tim gallagher says
Definitely the key to it all is getting enough people in all our societies to wake up to islam’s nature, Rick. I suppose it could be called a critical mass of people. Enough Hungarians and Poles and Czechs and Slovakians see islam clearly and their governments are doing the right thing because of that awareness. Still a long way to go in many western countries but here’s hoping that it will happen one day
Rick Smith says
Absolutely Tim…once our population has the ‘critical mass’ of anti-Islam people, then we’ll be like these Visegrad nations and we’ll keep Muslims out.
abu taleb says
Muslims always feel very unsecured so that they become paranoid of everything that they think unIslamic. A sight of non Islamic item for example, makes them think that it is an attack to Islam and muslims.
It comes from Islam itself. Islam says that Islam teaching is very precious and the infidels are jealous of it and want to steal it from the muslim. And the infidels will not stop trying to convert muslims.
Actually it is the muslims who are insecure, realizing there are a lot of weakness and evilness in Islam, so that people may leave Islam at any time if they are allowed.
Rick Smith says
Spot on Abu, Islam is the most insecure, weak, pathetic religion…that’s why Muslims feel threatened all the time…they know it’s a pile of bullcrap…but instead of accepting the truth that Islam is false/bad/evil, they’d rather silence their critics with violence, jail, and murder.
What better way of proving you have the right god and right religion by killing followers of all other religions (or non-religions)…then nobody is there to remind you that you’re wrong. lol
Mike says
It’s like the Muslima in the U.S. who recently thought that a blue and white McDonald’s wrapper was expressing support for Israel.
Never mind that a number of other flags are blue and white:Somalia (overwhelmingly Muslim), plus Greece, Scotland, Finland and Quebec.
Simba says
Brainwashed to think Arabic words/language is divine.. I heard that even printing the Quran was problematic long ago because the Quran is divine..
This, in a sense,
Makes Islam, Quran and Arabic language idols..
Simba says
Can’t put allahs words on paper, paper is too unpure for Quran (supposedly by Ottomans, but can’t be sure)
boo says
so the story is basically something akin to a bunch of illiterate english speakers getting into a psychotic rage at the sight of ppdtleeneudkdls
it is a religion of hate violence and death catering to a hateful violent culture
Rufolino says

Rick Smith says
Muslims are to humanity what an abusive husband is to a battered wife. They’re paranoid, constantly maintaining dominance and control.
Misreading innocent signs/symbols to mean something nefarious. Suspecting her of cheating behind his back and punishing her on false accusations.
The difference is however we’re not victims of Muslims (at least not yet) …it’s just within their own countries (or where they are majorities).
But I’m even wondering if there are different levels of Islamic lunacy. Like maybe the Arabs are saner than Pakistanis and Somalians for example. It’d be amusing to find out. I’m sure Muslims probably look down on each other for their stupidity.
Whatever the case, Islam is the greatest evil on this planet right now and it needs to go.
Just as you cannot reason with a schizophrenic, you cannot reason with religious lunatics like Muslims…their brains have been rotted and poisoned since childhood. The smarter ones will leave on their own, the others should be treated at face value and as a threat to our way of life.
They actually believe the Creator of the Universe who apparently made us in his image, wants our fellow humans to kill each other over ‘insults’ to his religion. Yet somehow Allah is too weak to do his own punishing…he needs humans to do the dirty work.
If that’s the case, then what is Allah good for? Get rid of him and now you have a Nazi-like ideology that seeks to be supreme over all others.
And should Muslims ever conquer our ‘infidel’ nations…then normal life will be a daily nightmare…for if you say the wrong things, wear the wrong clothes, then you risk being brutally murdered on the street by an insane, rabid mob of religious freaks.
What a sick evil, insane and retarded ideology Islam is. I hope there are enough of us willing to fight to the end to defeat Islam…I’d argue it’s worse than Nazism…as bad as they were, at least the Nazis didn’t want to drag humanity back to the 7th century and force women to live in cloth tents most of their lives, among other idiotic things we find in this death cult.
Scotsman48 says
However no mention of what the words or symbols were in Arabic and methinks that should have been made clear by the Kuwaiti Company that made the dress.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In a separate report, the company did mention that the words meant mundane things like sky, beauty & so on. They were made in Kuwait for domestic sales, and maybe this girl bought it while visiting there. Certainly looked better than the black KKKlansuits that they normally wear
OLD GUY says
Well gee tough shit lady, grow up and get a brain. Or if colors are supposed to bother people you all need to get rid of that black sack you wear and your loud speakers yelling out the call to prayer it offends the hell out of me and disturbers the peace.

Satanic crowds. Zombies led by pure evil forces, propagated to serve the three Crime Syndicates ruling in world wide fiefdoms, owned, operated, and controlled by the Globalist Elites of the West, the Marxist, and Islam.
