Pakistan Blasphemy Case Plot Thickens

Khalid Chishti Pakistan Blasphemy Case — Ah – ha! The 11 year old did not burn the Koran. Does it Really Matter?

In an interesting twist of events, it looks like the Mullah who found the burned papers of the Koran in the 11 year old garbage bag – and called for her to be sentenced accordingly to the Pakistani law (which basically means she will be executed) might have planted those burned pages in the first place. This is an update on the Pakistan blasphemy case against a 11 year old Christian girl.

[sigh of relief]

Really? this is what we have gotten ourselves used to? We are so programmed to think that we need to respect the laws of a different country or culture that we follow them so tightly we need to hope that the victim would be found not guilty?, and guilty of what – if we might ask?.

Lets remember the charges here, an 11 year old Christian girl, who might be mentally challenged, had burned papers taken from the Koran in a garbage bag she was about to dump. How on earth would anyone expect this to be answered by a penalty of death?. How is the throwing away of a few papers concludes in death – or the threat of one? and why should we except it?

What is even worst is what is now discovered can shed a light on the state of mind of the Pakistani Mullahs, what we know as the medieval persecution of others for the sake of establishing a stronger religious hold on the population has reemerged in the present day, 2012, Pakistan. With Mullahs allegedly orchestrating “offenses” such as walking around with burned papers to remind the population that any diversion from the exact local version of Islam will end in death.

Pakistan seems to have gotten itself to a new low.

Pakistan’s Ruthless Religion Sensitivities

An 11 years old girl is about to receive sentence for her serious crime of walking down the street with a basket containing a couple of burned papers, sounds peculiar? not if the street you happen to be walking in is located in Pakistan and not if the papers happen to be pages out of the koran. Is this such a capital offense?, well, a thousand years ago it was, when Islam was fighting its way to the religious mainstream, and made sure that no one could disrespect its holy book. Did we mention that the 11 year old girl is a Christian, who happen to live in a Christian neighborhood of Islamabad?.

Jewish and Christian believes also hold the “holy” books as something sacred, however you will be hard pressed to find anything even remotely close to this piece of news from both religions in the last couple of hundreds of years.

What is really going on in Pakistan? well, no one can say for sure, but the trend seems to be that nothing but Islam is accepted, and what traditionally follows is that only the exclusive local interpretation of Islam will be left in this country. Hindus are already leaving Pakistan by the thousands, because they can not deal with the constant harassment and the actual – real danger to their lives in this country. Christians, obviously, have been targeted as well, in this war of local Islam to simply rid the country of any other religions, and anyone who does not follow Islam.

Pakistan was once a well established country, with respect for democracy and enough power to cause a major problem in the world, now turns quickly into a radical Islamist country in which time is turned back and the population is held hostage to stone age beliefs, the falling apart partnership with the US is clearly at its final stage, and from the moment that this country starts to get what it wants – which is clearly segregation of religion and radicalization of its political systems, we will have to deal with a new extreme force in the world under the chains of religion.

Its Wedding Season

Wedding, religious or not, are almost always a fun occasion, free drinks and lots of dancing and laughing. Of course there are exceptions, Jewish weddings do not have pork and shrimp, Muslim weddings have dancing but not by the guests and Christian weddings can sometimes drag on forever. Weddings are also something that is heavily inspired by religion costumes but have grown into a more cultural events – stemming out of their traditional religious roots and embracing different local traditions on top of the ancient religious ones.

The mayor of Nice in Southern France has decided that he, as well as many of the city’s inhabitants had enough of the noisy craziness that follows a civil marriage in the town hall, French citizens can have a religious ceremony but they also need to have the formal day at town hall, some French people sign up and have a party – and some sign up and head to a much more elaborate religious ceremony. Some have combined the registration as wed couple and the traditional religious festivities and created a noisy festival that apparently repeats itself in Nice’s town hall.

And so the city has come to be the first that simply bans the noise and the parades that follow some of those weddings, and to make things even worst it seems that many who does this are immigrants who also like to wave their own (original) national flags, making this typical French republic tradition a celebration of another nationally, the flags are banned as well.

In another corner of the world, Pakistan, 6 people who had too much fun in one wedding are now facing a death sentence by religious authorities, for (wait for it), dancing together – which is somehow such a terrible offense that it can only be made up for by blood – and lots of it.

Four men and two women have somehow gotten themselves on a cell phone video of them celebrating and dancing at a local wedding, which is strictly forbidden, the Pakistani seem to separate genders in weddings and prefer that both sides stick to their own kind as long as festivities last, the people involved have somehow decided that they want to change this stone age concept of weddings and mingled – now the men are on the run and the women, who have been not so lucky and remain in prison, can only take comfort that the sentence called for the killing of the men before the women, so as long as they are on the run the women have a chance at life.

A Moustache Could Mean Death in Pakistan

moustache-pakistan — A mustache against religion?

A Pakistani man discovered that his mustache could cost him his life, when he was abducted and instructed to trim his facial hair because it is offensive or against the rules of Islam. One would think that the religious zealots of Pakistan have better things to do then run around a look for people with fancy facial hair.

This is nothing but a very vivid example of how one religion (in this case Islam) takes over any and every aspect of life, from getting up in the morning till going to bed at night and from choosing the clothes you wear to the choices one makes on grooming ones facial hair Islam is a totalitarian complete instruction set order book for life.

In the west many like to debate the different interpretations of religions, however in this case it is not as refine as that, one religious cleric decides that a long or bushy mustache is not allowed under Islam and others are quick to find and execute his orders on real people in the real world. This is exactly why so many people around the world object to the religion of Islam – because it is of totalitarian origins, and if kept as it is will forever be totalitarian.

Taliban Reminds Us Who They Are

January 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Just as the world starts to forget who these crazed insane religious fanatics are, and focuses heavily into the serious and heavy price that trying to force some humane and normal behavior on the violence drenched region, we get a reminder of who these people are and why the do what they do, even more, in the name of what they allow themselves to murder, rape and disrespect human life whoever they go.

And here they are, the glorious warriors of the ever so blood thirsty god, gunning down captive Pakistani soldiers, simply murdering unarmed people, pumping them full of bullets and crying, as if to try and establish an alibi – “God is great” and “we will avenge your death” (of other killed Taliban), this is a fine example of what to expect if these people come back to a position of which they will rule a country.

Any Taliban role, over any country, will result in the murder, rape and human rights violations of its population, and to let these psychopaths un free is something that the free world will have to deal with in the future.
