With a look of fear in her eyes, this tiny girl sits next to a police officer as he recounts the ordeal which she endured.

Sohana Jawed, nine, was on her way to school when she was kidnapped by militants in Peshawar, Pakistan.

They forced her to wear an explosives-laden suicide bomb vest and made her approach a paramilitary checkpoint.

Terrorists attack bank because it has blasphemous floor tiles.

Posted on by

I dont get it. When someone finds a grilled cheese or a latke that has the word allah seemingly written on it, or even a rash as one (as I recall) Pakistani boy had, then everyone rushes to worship it. But when floor tiles at a bank to, well the situation turns explosive fast. Just another one of the wonderful things we can expect with increasing acceptance of sharia law everywhere. Arbitrary destruction of life and property based on anyones momentary interpretation of what is blasphemy to a lethal degree, and at the moment, I believe Pakistan takes the prize for that.

The story below from Yahoo News, discovered via Jihad Watch:

Islamabad, June 18(ANI): A terrorist outfit targeted a bank in Pakistan on June 13 because its floor tiles and their design were strikingly analogous to the sacred name, Allah.

A bank guard was killed and four others were injured in last Monday’s suicide attack on an Islamabad branch of a bank.

Bank officials confirmed that the administration had received complaints about the design of the floor tiles, and that some individuals had also met the management official in this regard, but neither the area police nor the bank administration took any action on the objections raised by the group.

When contacted, the bank’s president said that the allegation was baseless and concocted.

“It cannot even be imagined to disgrace the holy name of Allah Almighty. We are Muslims and can never think of the disrespect to the name of the Creator,” The News quoted him, as saying.

The officials investigating the case disclosed that in June 2009, an application was lodged with the Industrial Area police by the district president of a youth organisation in Islamabad, saying that he had asked the bank administration to change the sacrilege design of tiles, but they did not bother to listen to him.

He requested the police to register the FIR against the bank administration, but the police also did not take any action on the complaint despite the lapse of two years, according to sources.

Meanwhile, officers probing the bank suicide bombing case said they have got concrete evidence by using communication technology that the banned militant group Tehrik-e-Islami was involved in the suicide attack. (ANI)

 

Ethnic cleansing of Christians in Islamic world increasing in tempo and amplitude.

I dread what Bill Warner’s next bulletin of Christian Persecution will look like. Here are a couple of links, courtesy of Fjordman, from Jihad Watch just from the past day or so.

Muslims involved in murder of 10 Christians and burning of Churches acquitted

Lahore (AsiaNews) – Pakistan’s fundamentalists are rejoicing following the acquittal verdict. The country’s Christian minority is “under shock” because, this time as well, the massacre of innocent victims done in the name of the infamous blasphemy law will go unpunished. The justice system also shows its powerlessness vis-à-vis extremists who can carry out heinous crimes with total impunity, whilst the government remains silent. Meanwhile, a Muslim religious leader publicly says that Christians “deserve” to be murdered.

Rioters who ransack churches, attack priest get light sentences:

Indonesia_PostRampage.jpg

Anger management in Modern, Moderate IndonesiaWhat if it had been a mosque, and not a church? What if it had been an imam, and not a priest? No one would be getting off with a few months in jail, minus time served. Of course, Indonesia has been downplaying the role of Islamic supremacism in this attack since the beginning, with a police chief insisting the attacks “had nothing to do with religion,” even though the rioters went on a rampage in the first place because they wanted a death sentence for “blasphemy” against Islam. And in that case, the defendant, while he was described as being of a Christian background, had insulted Catholics as well as Muslims. Only the latter group responded in this way.

Pakistan: Journalists granted right to carry small arms for defence

Islamabad, 1 June (AKI) – Journalists in Pakistan have been granted the right to carry small-calibre arms for self-defence following this week’s killing of a reporter, interior minister Rehman Malik said on Wednesday.

Since 2010, 15 Pakistani journalists have been killed, making Pakistan one of the world’s most dangerous countries for the profession, according to press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders.
Syed Saleem Shahzad’s body was identified on Tuesday following his disappearance on Sunday.

Shahzad, who worked for Italian news agency Adnkronos International and Hong Kong-based online news service Asia Times, frequently reported on the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Following his disappearances, there were several reports that he was being held by Pakistan’s secret service, the Inter-Services Intelligence.

Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik promised to investigate allegations of ISI involvement in Shahzad’s abduction and murder.

PAKISTANI MOVIE STAR THAT SCOLDED IMAM ON NATIONAL TV ATTACKED

Thanks to Person of  The Book for forwarding this story to the Tundra Tabloids. The TT posted earlier about Veena Malik’s confrontation with a Pakistani cleric, warning about her becoming a possible victim of an attack, perhaps acid thrown in her face etc., it now appears that she was purposefully hit by another car with the intent of causing he bodily harm. It wouldn’t surprise to hear that she has moved abroad. KGS

While initial Pakistani media reports said that Veena Malik was injured in a car crash, her publicist said that it was a deliberate attack. Her publicist Sohail Rashid said: “A speeding vehicle overtook Veena Malik’s car, hit its side door and raced off. The car went off-balance and collided.”[1] “It seemed as if they deliberately hit our car. We couldn’t see their faces. They hit us, and saw our car colliding. They would have stopped had they hit us by mistake,” Rashid said, adding that Malik is now out of danger and her condition is stable.[2]

In January 2011, Malik earned the ire of Islamic clerics in Pakistan and orthodox circles by confronting Pakistani cleric Mufti Abdul Qawi on a live Pakistani television program after she was accused of disgracing Pakistan and Islam for her appearance on ‘Big Boss,’ the Indian version of the television show ‘Big Brother.’ On the Pakistani program she accused Pakistani clerics of teaching a distorted version of Islam and accused the religious scholars were responsible for molesting children in Islamic seminaries.

51 per cent of Pakistanis sad over Osama’s death: survey

Posted on by

Question:

What is the percentage of a group required, beyond which it can no longer be considered ‘extreme’? For example, at what percent do we say that the norm for Nazis is genocidal hatred for Jews, and Nazis who just want to make the trains run on time are in fact an aberration? Would it not be reasonable to say that if over 50% of a group based on belief and ideology believe X than that group can be defined as such and the minority who do not are something else? So when “A majority of Pakistanis surveyed in a poll appeared to be aggrieved over the death of Osama bin Laden, with 51 per cent describing their emotions as “grief” then what can we say about Muslim Pakistanis and their alleged aberrant Islam? It would seem the orthodoxy to me.

Pakistan: A Brazilian arrested for committing a blasphemous act in a mosque during Friday prayers

By tnr May 19, 2011

mosque

The mosque in question at the hour of prayer ….

rodrigo Islamabad – Rodrigo Moreto Cubek (photo), a young Brazilian lawyer in his thirties, was arrested last Friday after he shouted religious slogans Christians during weekly Muslim prayers in the biggest mosque in the country.

Dressed in traditional Pakistani clothes, he was among the crowd of believers and normally performed Muslim rites, but when the community was in the second rakat he stood up and shouted: “Long live Christianity” Long live the Virgin Mary “ and so on. As the ritual lasted nobody could stop him for not invalidate the prayers, but as soon as the imam had finished the prayer, security agents seized the mosque to surrender him to the municipal police.

He said he saw Christ in a dream and that he asked him to go to Pakistan to preach the gospel.
For the latest information the Pakistani justice system should require a medical examination and psychiatric and probably bring charges of “disturbing public order” to spare him the charge of “blasphemy” that would lead to the death penalty …

US Drone Strike Kills 15 Militants, Says Pakistan

Pakistani intelligence officials say a U.S. missile attack close to the Afghan border has killed at least 15 people.

Friday’s drone attack was the first reported strike since Monday’s pre-dawn U.S. commando raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Authorities say the attack targeted a compound in North Waziristan, a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaida militants on the border with Afghanistan.

U.S. drone strikes against militants based in Pakistan’s tribal belt have been a source of friction between the two countries and Friday’s strike could further inflame tensions between Islamabad and Washington.

U.S.: Officials Ruled Out Pakistani Help In Bin Laden Operation

Posted on by

below is a SITREP from STRATFOR about the decision not to inform the government of Pakistan about the raid on the Pakistani constructed compound where OBL conducted business. For anyone who finds this interesting (as I do) and want to understand the machinery of the ISI and perhaps more importantly the FBI and other US intel agencies, consider a fantastic lost weekend with the book, ‘Ghost’ by Fred Burton, former DSS agent and current adviser for terrorism at STRATFOR. It is the detailed story of the capture of the people who did the first bombing of the WTC under Bill Clinton. The bombing everyone seems to forget. The DSS captured the principles in this and the main man in Pakistan. The story is not only fantastically entertaining and a great true life adventure read, but is informative as to the way the various agencies operate. Once you have read this book, re read the 911 commision reports or watch the excellent docu-drama, ‘The Path to 911’ with Harvey Keitel which is deadly accurate except in 2 details which the book Ghost will make clear.

From STRATFOR

May 3, 2011
CIA Director Leon Panetta on May 3 said the United States ruled out involving Pakistan in the operation to bring down Osama bin Laden because officials feared Pakistan could jeopardize the mission by leaking information to him, TIME reported. Panetta also said the United States collected an “impressive amount” of material from bin Laden’s compound, including computers and other electronics.

U.S.: Pakistan Has ‘Questions’ To Answer About Bin Laden

This is interesting. A Stratfor SITREP

 

May 2, 2011
Pakistan’s army and intelligence service have many questions to answer after the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said May 2 at a news conference, Reuters reported. Levin said there are lots of questions about bin Laden’s location, the length of time he had been there, the “apparent fact” that the compound was built for the al Qaeda leader and the facility’s proximity to the Pakistani army’s central location.
