'Burn in Hell': Pakistani Muslim Lawyers not making death-threats and blocking the entrance to an Islamabad Courthouse against anyone foolish enough to prosecute fellow Muslim employer who can't have raped, tortured and killed a 12-year old Christian girl, because that could have never happened. Allah is oft forgiving, most merciful...

Hmm… we wonder why?

It seems the international mainstream media were clearly so shocked by the fact that Pakistani lawyers, adherents of the one religion on the planet that condones sex with underage children and the ill-treatment of members of other religions were forcibly preventing legal action that would challenge such behaviour to go ahead – that they didn’t bother to report on the story:

No lawyer comes forward to defend Shazia Bashir, the servant girl murdered by her employer. The powerful association of lawyers in Lahore, arrayed in defence of the murderer, launches death threats and prevents access to the Court. Christian Association condemns this new form of terrorism.

Because of the threats posed by the powerful Lahore Bar Association – an umbrella organisation of city lawyers – no Christian or Muslim lawyer is ready to take on the defence in the murder of 12 year-old Shazia Bashir, it was reported yesterday by The Pakistani Christian association that deals with legal assistance.

The people the Obama administration would welcome talks with..

ISLAMABAD – Taliban militants flog two men and a teenage boy in a video that has emerged from Pakistan’s tribal belt along the Afghan border, showing the hold of insurgents in at least one area there despite army offensives and intensified U.S. missile strikes in the region.

The video was shot on a mobile phone on Feb. 3 and passed to a local journalist who occasionally provides video to Associated Press Television News. The man who provided the clip said it was taken in the Mamozai area of the Orakzai tribal region, though there was no way of verifying that because travel there is dangerous for outsiders. The tribal elder requested anonymity out of fear for his life. Read the rest of this entry »

Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist and lawyer claims Pakistan assisted Jordanian homicide bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi in his attack, which killed seven US agents and a Jordanian intelligence officer when al-Balawi detonated himself at the Khost base last week:

Afghan spy officials tell The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner that the chemical fingerprint of the bomb that killed seven CIA agents matches the kind produced by Pakistani intelligence.

Early evidence in the December 30 bombing that killed seven CIA agents suggests a link to Pakistan, two senior Afghan sources, including an official at their spy agency, told The Daily Beast. The pair said that U.S. has already taken a chemical fingerprint of the bomb used by a Jordanian double agent in the attack, and that it matches an explosive type used by their Pakistan equivalents, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.

Pull the other one: Kasab denies terror charges despite overwhelming evidence

We understand that Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the accused gunman in last year’s horrific Mumbai Jihad massacre has retracted his confession, saying the police tortured him into admitting his guilt.

The accused has told the special court trying him that he came to Mumbai as a tourist and was arrested 20 days before the siege that left 166 people dead. On the day the attacks began, he says police took him from his cell and shot him to make him look like he was a gunman.

He further claims that he had been initially arrested three weeks before the attack, because he was wandering around the city late at night looking for a place to stay.

Of course, it’s absolutely normal after 20 days of looking for somewhere to stay, to strap on an AK and go on a killing spree – you didn’t know that? Are you kuffar stupid? Kasab clearly thinks so.

What is really happening here is that Kasab has elected to use the Islam-sanctioned tactic known as Taqiyya, whereby a Muslim is permitted to lie provided that his faith is still intact ‘in his heart’.

The Supreme Court of India ruled in 1983 that the death penalty should be imposed only in “the rarest of rare cases.”  This is surely one of them.

We sincerely hope that the Indian courts will not entertain this ridiculous and desparate dissimulation  - and that Kasab will swing soon.

While emotional onlookers waved Indian flags and banners with slogans such as “End The Violence”, police commandos with new weapons and armoured cars tracked the route the 10 gunmen took for an attack that stunned the country.

The show of strength was in contrast to more emotional events across India’s commercial capital.

Residents lit candles outside a Jewish centre, one of several sites from luxury hotels to the city’s biggest railway station, that were targeted by 10 Pakistan-based militants in a rampage lasting three days. Read the rest of this entry »

Taliban beware: this one might have your name on it

It has long been suspected that Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence Directorate (ISI) is in bed with the Taliban – this latest report shows that the spooks are assisting Top Turban Mullah Omar in moving around the country to escape American UAVs:

Fearing that Taliban supremo Mullah Omar might be targetted by US drones, Pakistan’s ISI has helped him to flee from the border town of Quetta to the mega port city of Karachi, where he has established a new Shura council.

One-eyed leader of the Afghan Taliban recently found refuge from potential US attacks in Karachi with Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) assistance, the Washington Times reported quoting US intelligence officials. Read the rest of this entry »

What the Taliban do to schools (and schoolchildren)

A special school security wing (SSSW) of the police has been set up in Pakistan’s Malakand division, which has faced the ire of militants who have destroyed over 200 schools, an official said.

‘We have established the SSSW to ensure protection to the schools, colleges and university all over Malakand,’ Mohammad Idrees Khan, deputy inspector general (DIG) of police, Malakand, told The News Monday.

The wing is headed by an inspector who is assisted by two sub-inspectors, four assistant sub-inspectors and other police personnel that monitor the security of the educational institutions in Swat. Read the rest of this entry »

Feeling the love of Islamism: Children wade through the ruins of their Swat Valley school, blown up by the Taliban in January

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Taliban have torched 473 educational institutions in Malakand division and FATA [Federally-Administered Tribal Areas].

In a statement, interior minister said that Taliban want to destabilize and defame Pakistan. They torched 409 educational institutions in Malakand division and 64 in FATA.

Malik said Taliban are enemies of Islam and Pakistan and professional killers. Militancy and terrorism will be eliminated from the roots, he added.

What this short report fails to mention is that those schools are overwhelmingly girls’ schools. Islam (and particularly the Taliban) doesn’t like its females to be educated for some reason.

Frankly, we’re scratching our heads as to why that could be…

Christians outside their destroyed home in Gojra, Punjab, August 2009

In case you were thinking that Egypt was the only Muslim-majority country where systematic Christian persecution went unpunished, think again – in Pakistan, they’ve gone one step further and effectively made it legal:

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are the country’s worst instruments for religious repression. According to data collected by the Catholic Church’s National Commission on Justice and Peace (NCJP), at least 964 people have been indicted for desecrating the Qur‘an or defiling the name of the prophet Muhammad between 1986 and this year, including 479 Muslims, 119 Christians, 340 Ahmadis, 14 Hindus and 10 from other religions. Since its inception, the law has been used a pretext for attacks, personal vendettas and extra-judicial murders: 33 in all by individuals or enraged mobs. Read the rest of this entry »
