The freedom of worship in Islam!! Saudis arrest 35 Christians because they were praying in their houses


Sure, Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and cradle of Islam, misunderstands Islam and gets Islamaphobic too! Because Islamists in sheep clothes accuse people like me as Islamaphobic for saying there is no freedom of religion in Islam.

Media and politicians continue to label critics who say truth about Islam and that Islam is supremacist as Islamaphobes and no one really cares or questions such practice by Saudi Arabia.

The bigger point people miss is that Saudi Arabia spends Billions of dollars in construction of mosques, Islamic centers and other Islamic infrastructure in infidel majority countries for proselytizing. Could this be a double standard? We call it Islamic supremacism.

News of Christian imprisonment in Saudi only now reaching U.S.
{{{
Thirty-five Christians have been jailed in Saudi Arabia for worshiping in their own homes according to a recent report. The news only surfaced this week that the Christians have been imprisoned for over a month.

Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern says it is no wonder that Christians there worship in their homes because of the danger they face.

"In Saudi Arabia there is no church," says the ICC spokesman. "There is no other place of worship other than mosques -- so the Christians in Saudi Arabia only gather at their private homes to worship. And when they worship, as you can see in this particular example, they could also be arrested."

Racho was able to talk with one of the female prisoners by phone and explains that prisoners are suffering because of lack of proper medical attention. "They told me that especially the male prisoners have been assaulted by the Saudi officials," he shares.

One of the prisoners told Racho that a Saudi official insulted them by telling them they are non-believers, animals, and supporters of America.

He adds the Christians are waiting for justice, which to them means their release from prison and the ability to worship freely.

No compulsion in Islam!! Two Iranian converts to Christianity stabbed in Norway


Why did they do that? Ashghar Ali Engineer tells us Islam was the first one to practice freedom of religion through the verse "No complusion in Islam ......" But those who knew Islam and read Koran, Hadith, Sira and Sharia knew better. The reason those two were stabbed because Islamists want to create a state of fear and culprits believed their acts are legal in Islamic theology.

Norway: Two Iranian converts attacked, called 'kuffar'  
{{{
Two Iranians who converted from Islam to Christianity were stabbed by masked me in Haugesund last week. The attacker shouted 'Kuffar' (Arabic for non-believer) during the attack.

The attack happened Tuesday evening, when both Christian Iranians were out walking in Haugesund. They were suddenly attacked by three masked men armed with knives, who shouted 'kuffar' while they stabbed the two.

A nurse passing by gave first aid and then an ambulance brought them to hospital, reports Haugesunds Avis.

According to the police, one of the victims was stabbed twice in the back and the other was stabbed in his side. No perpetrators have been caught.

The two victims want to remain anonymous and have not spoken of the assault. They've lived in Norway for many years. One of them converted in Norway, the other did so in Iran and managed to flee to Norway after he was abused and imprisoned for his faith.

They're both active in a local evangelical church.

'They've very active in the community, and have also bore witness to their faith during meetings,' says their pastor, who also wants to remain anonymous, since he often travels to Muslim countries where Christians are persecuted.

He's certain that the attack was religiously motivated. "I'm totally sure of it. Since the attackers shouted 'kuffar' during the attack, I have no doubt about it."

He says he didn't expect such things to happen in Haugesund. "It's very dramatic and surprising. I didn't take that into account. I hadn't heard of threats against any coverts in the area."

If Muslims are in majority, there will be some sort of law preventing Muslims leave Islam and punishing Muslims who leave Islam to other religion. This is state totalitarianism coming directly from sharia and Sunna (example of Mohammad) and Koran.

When Muslims are in minority - since such Islamic laws can not be formulated - it is totalitarianism of extremist organizations, terrorist cells  or extremist cells and presence of many devout Muslims who are always ready to kill and commit violence which create a state of fear among Muslims (Non-Muslims too) and influencing their behavior and decisions.

The examples are a security guard killing the former governor of Punjab(Pakistan) - Salman Taseer -, murdering of Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim in Netherlands and ordeal of Riqba Bary in USA when she converted to Christianity.

Why only devout Muslims commit such crimes and why we find so many of such cases in Islamic system only? The answer is simple.

Koran explicitly commands Muslims to follow and obey Mohammad, founder of Islam; Allah in Koran even says Prophet is paragon of virtues for all Muslim men. And Prophet Mohammad ordered killing of people - who criticized his raids on civilian caravans and villages - and opposed him and questioned his prophethood. He plundered. He raped Non-Muslim women. He tortured people to death. He ordered killing of Muslims who leave Islam.

Some verses from Koran in reference to Muslim men following the example of Prophet Mohammad and obeying his commands:

You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. (Koran 33:21)

"O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you........." (Koran 4:59)

"O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak)." (Koran 8:20)

"Say: "If you do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Koran 3:31)

One simple question you can ask yourselves is why do so many Muslim men grow beard? After-all Koran never tells them to grow beard or apply perfumes. The answer is Mohammad lived liked that. Mohammad had beard and liked and applied perfumes.

As above verses from Koran say that to be forgiven by Allah, Muslims should follow Prophet Mohammad, which means total bliss is only possible by emulating Prophet Mohammad. The greatest Islamic scholar, Iman Ghazali, writes: "Know that the key to total bliss lies in following the Sunnah and in emulating the life of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in all that issues from him, and in all his doings even if it concerns the manner of his eating, rising, sleeping, and speaking. I do say thisin relation to rituals in worship ONLY because ther is no way neglecting the Sunnah reported of him in such matters - but what I say includes every aspect of his daily life". (Kitab al Arbain Addin, Cairo 1344, p. 89).

All this leads to fanatical and lunatic behavior from devout Muslims. When Islamic apologists and so called 'moderate' Muslims say those Muslims commting terrorism are not Muslims at all, they are simply lying. They(terrorists) are devout and belive that their death is testimony to their belief and killing infidels will take them closer to Allah. And Muslims who die in Jihad directly go to paradise with out having to do some time in hell.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Khar: Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world


Hira Khar also blames the entire world for this misunderstanding; this kind of reaction is in complete line with other Islamic supremacists who always blame others for all their faults and shortcomings and also whenever Islam gets bad publicity.

In her words, if Saudi Arabia is enforcing sharia then it is our fault. If Taliban ascends to power in Afghanistan then it is our fault. If Islamists win elections capturing 70% of votes in Egypt and in Tunisia, it our fault. If 80% of Muslims around the world want enforcement of punishments prescribed in Sharia like stoning for adultery, chopping of hands for theft and death to apostates ( Muslims who leave Islam and convert to other faiths), then it is our fault too.

So, is it that all four major schools of Sunni Islam misunderstand Islam too? If this is combined with Iran, it covers entire landmass under Islamic nations and 99% of Muslim population!!

May be that Islam is all delusional.

Islam 'most misunderstood' religion in world: Hina Rabbani Khar
{{{
Islam is the "most misunderstood" and "misrepresented" faith in the world, Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said today and acknowledged that illiterate and irresponsible people have been allowed to take the religion in their hands. 
"In my mind Islam is the most misunderstood and misrepresented religion in the world. For example, Islam is the one religion that reinforces respect for women but we, the entire world must take responsibility because we have let Islam to be misrepresented," Khar said during a debate on Democracy at the World Economic Forum ( WEF) here. 
She said Islam supports best of the democracies and her country would become the best example of this fact in ten years of time. 
"If you ask whether Islam will come in the way of democracy, it is the other way round. Islam supports best of the democracies. Islam and democracy are not contradictory forces. They are rather supportive forces. Pakistan will become the best example of this fact in ten years of time. 
"We have to take Islam away from the hands of the left overs of the society. We have let illiterate and irresponsible people take Islam in their hands. But it is also the duty of the Western world to understand the difference. They have been very biased on various occasions," she added
"A big bias has been shown say in cases like Palestine and Kashmir," she alleged.
}}}

Why did she say such things in the first place? Because she knew that no media will ever scritinize what is Sharia and even if they do, she knew that they dare not publish it as a cabal like OIC successfully portrayed such findings as examples of Islamophobia.

No compulsion in Islam? Father of two teens - who converted to Christianity - arrested in Somalia.


What do we hear from 'plum' Islamophiles and Islamists? Nothing less than that Islam respects all religions, freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. On the ground, truth is so much distant from what they say could be gauged by noticing that out of 57 Muslim majority nations, 55 nations have Islam as official religion or declared themselves as Islamic; in all these countries secularism is blasphemy.

Indonesia - one of remaining two - is secular only in name as one of its provinces implements Sharia - including stoning for adultery - and numerous Islamic groups enforce sharia by targeting Christians and Churches. Recently a person was even arrested because he was an atheist and also created a page in facebook saying there is no God. Moreover, this is what a human rights organization says:  Violence against Indonesia’s religious minorities surges.  

At the other extreme, one can see Saudi Arabia where it is prohibited to construct other places of worship -  like churches and temples - and also that infidels can not take Bibles or other symbols to Saudi Arabia.

After-all, Prophet Mohammad said, "kill any one who leaves Islam (Sahih Bukhari - 52:260)".

Rushdie Saga: A Muslim protester says, "Muslims are never afraid of dying".


Sure and pathetic too. Years back a Jihadist in Afghanistan quoted: "Americans love pepsi cola but we love death".

'The Americans love Pepsi Cola, but we love death'

Another Jihadist in New York said, "We love death more than you love life."

Is this because Koran says:

YUSUF ALI (9.111): Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain.....

YUSUF ALI (62.6): Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"

The Congress Govt.'s abject surrender before Islamists in the case of 'Satanic Verses' or illegal construction of mosques in New Delhi - all in the name of not hurting feelings of Muslims - deserves utter contempt and should make freedom loving Indians to think independently.

It has become habitual for Islamists in India to get their way by intimidation and promises of bloodshed. And politicians pandering to these good for nothing thugs for votes or out of fear only further emboldens Islamists and their demands become more and more aggressive.

The way the Muslim crowds and Muslim leadership threatened violence and bloodshed in regard to Jaipur Literary festival must be an eye opener to all Non-Muslims in India regarding how monstrous, intolerant and cruel Islamic dogma is.
Celebrated author Salman Rushdie's live video conference at Jaipur Literature Festival has been cancelled following protests by Jaipur-based Milli Council. Several activists of the Milli Council arrived at the venue of the Festival at Diggi Palace on Tuesday afternoon, demanding that the proposed video address by Rushdie be called off, claiming that it was an insult to the Muslims...
The owner of the Diggy Palace Ram Pratap Singh said that he decided to not allow the video link fearing violence. Singh said that several people had entered the venue and threatened to take the law in their own hands if the video link was allowed......(IBN)
Rushdie address called off as Muslims threaten trouble                      
{{{
The video address by "The Satanic Verses" author Salman Rushdie at the DSC Jaipur Literary Festival was called off Tuesday as some of the dozens of Muslims gathered outside the venue threatened trouble and even bloodshed if the address by a "criminal writer" went ahead. "In view of the resentment simmering in the city against Rushdie's (proposed) address, we have told the organisers that they cannot allow the writer to speak via video," Jaipur's Superintendent of Police Vijendra Jhala told media persons here. 
Minutes before Rushdie was to speak, dozens of Muslims started praying in the courtyard of the Diggi Palace. Some of them warned of consequences if the Rushdie address took place. 
"Every mazhab (religion) teaches us to respect god within us, but those who insult god and religion have no business to be here," said a Muslim who did not wish to be named. 
"He is a criminal writer as far as Muslims are concerned. He has insulted Prophet Mohammed and there is no way we will let him speak even if he is doing so from abroad. There will be trouble if the speech by Rushdie goes ahead. Muslims are never afraid of dying," he added.

Sri Lanka expels Indian Muslim preachers from its soil


Sri Lanka has reportedly ordered 161 foreign Muslim preachers - from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Maldives and Arab nations - to leave the country for flouting visa regulations and they were not teaching moderate form of Islam.

Bravo Sri Lanka! In India, politicians and media can not even agree that there is possibility of Mullahs in India preaching extremism in madrassas and seminaries. Or did we ever ask ourselves what is the syllabus in these so called madrassas? No prizes for guessing that Koran, Hadith and elements of Sharia are too important to be missed out. And all these sources are extremely intolerant towards Non-Muslims, particularly Hindus, with summons to hate, kill or subjugate infidels as fourth class citizens (that is how Sharia treats Non-Muslims).

Or how come these 161 Mullahs, who spent their time studying Islamic scriptures, misunderstand the religion of peace so completely?

Of course, one might point out the extreme hostility of Sinhalese-Buddhist nationalism towards Hindu Tamils and the discrimination they suffered. What can not be denied is that such nationalism linked to past underpinnings serves as first line of defense against external barbaric forces like Islamic supremacism. Complete dissociation of any nation from past lacks the will to face and withstand Islamic onslaught which knows no mercy.

Sri Lanka 'expels 161 foreign Muslim preachers'  
{{{
Sri Lanka has reportedly ordered 161 foreign Muslim preachers to leave the country for flouting visa regulations.
A senior immigration official was quoted as saying that the clerics had no right to preach in mosques because they had arrived on tourist visas.
He also said that some local Muslims had complained that the visitors were not teaching a moderate form of Islam. 
The preachers - from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Maldives and Arab nations - must now leave by 31 January. 
'Laughable idea' 
"They have violated immigration laws. A tourist visa is to have a holiday or visit friends and family, and not to preach Islam," Sri Lanka's immigration head Chulananda Perera told the AFP news agency. 
Mr Perera said the group belonged to Tablighi Jamaat - an international Islamic movement popular in Sri Lanka and the region. 
A Muslim source told the BBC that the movement sends groups of preachers to places of worship, urging Muslims to devote more time to their faith and act more devoutly.
Any idea that they were militant was laughable, the source added. 
Muslim members of Sri Lanka's government have expressed concern at the mass expulsion, and are expected to meet other officials later on Monday to try to delay the move. 
The news has also created consternation in the Muslim community in Sri Lanka, the third largest ethnic group in the country after Sinhalese and Tamils, the BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo reports. 
During the long civil war the community was often caught between the two warring parties and it has a reputation for moderation, our correspondent adds.

'Oppressed' Indian Muslims slaughtering a cow in the temple finds no coverage by media.


Leftists might turn this incident in to unnecessary debate with labels like 'Hindu hypocrisy on beef.'. But what anyone can not deny is this act took place in the temple premises and is an deliberately provocative act and probably, the larger goal being intimidating Hindus of Kerala in to silence on resisting Jihadi activities to turn Kerala, subsequently India, in to a Muslim majority state as captured pamphlets in the past were suggesting. It can not escape the memory that this is the same place where Muslims cut the hands of a Christian professor for 'alleged' hurting of feelings of sentiments of Muslims.

And as usual, media stayed silent about this incident too and worse thing, and alarming, is Malayali media too remained completely silent. The reasons for such conspicuous silence from media could be wide ranging from financial to appeasement of Muslims and politicians to ideological compulsions or the fear of mob violence from Muslims. Sure, when that Italian in New Delhi and her cohorts intend to bring communal harmony bill (here and here) media can not report on incidents where Muslims are perpetrators as that bill presupposes Muslims as victims and Hindus as violent.

But this kind of never ending appeasement of monster i.e. Islamic supremacism is suicidal for any civilization which believes in freedom and democracy.

Cow slaughtered inside Kerala temple compound
{{{
................
.................
As news of the outrageous act spread, thousands of Hindus including activists of Sangh Pariwar outfits rushed to the temple and blocked the evil-doers from escaping. The arrival of some members of the Muslim community to justify the slaughter caused escalation in tension. One of those arrested was from among those who came to justify the act, said protesters.
Sure, only very few Muslims are extremists never really cuts with the truth. Didn't a famous Indian Muslim say that cow slaughter is the greatest Islamic practice in India?

Cow Slaughter - Move to protect Moulavi     (This is what our politicians will do and media will help them do such things...)

The worse thing is that few days before this incident, Muslims outrageously slaughtered a cow near famous temple, Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala. One can only say that inaction that time emboldened Islamists to slaughter inside a temple.

Girl needing advice on her marriage.


Below mail I got few days ago is referring to me as 'adviser of Islam' which I am not. After reading I found many things remained unclear about what she really wants from an 'Islamaphobe' like me. So, without mentioning full name, I am just presenting mail's content:
Dear Adviser of Islam,

Kindly please advise me,..... I am not in my peace of mind when I was made known from my husband that he actually has a wife before me. My husband is a born Muslim from South Africa who work in Thailand and been married to Thai women who is not Muslim. I believe its inter-marriage as he always avoid me asking him about his marriage with her. As I know that Muslim man is allowed to married a non Muslim lady without converting if this lady come from the book people(Christian or Jews) but not someone from a Magian (Zoroastrian) woman or a communist woman or an idol-worshipping woman, etc. I strongly believe that she practice her worship and also participate in the activity.

My worries now ... now that i knew the situation and I have also informed my husband the rules to his marriage in Islam. He is always there with her as his income is there. Can I still be his wife ....... or should I leave him. Please need your advise firmly base on Hadith and Sunnah so that  am able to rely this massage clearly to my husband. I dont wanna be part in this sin.

Regards,
N.......
nora-ni-------.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

My reply:

Dear nora-ni,

I am not sure what kind of advice you are looking for. Considering that you are a Muslim girl, you should not have problem with that marriage as you yourselves wanted your future actions to be based on Koran, Hadith and Sunna. It is true that  Muslim men can marry women from the faiths like Christianity and Judaism, not vice versa. Koran explicitly stated this.

Koran also commands that Muslims give the choice between  Jizya  and conversion to Christians and Jews only while giving idol worshipers the choice between death and conversion. Nevertheless, the choice of Jizya was later extended to Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists and Parsis based on Sunna that Mohammad accepted Jizya from Parsis.

May be the similar extension was given to other women because in India Muslim men routinely marry Hindu girls who have fallen in to trap of multiculturalism and pluralism blah blah....

So, you take your own decision.

By the way, if you want to communicate further you should know that I have least respect for Islam, Koran and your Sharia.

regards
k-i-d

Anti-Hindu policy is part of secularism of UPA: Hapless Hindu refugees denied asylum


Secularism in India was supposed to be broadminded, devoid of bigotry and humane, at-least this was how Nehru envisioned. But present day secularism is mixture of appeasement of minorities and denigration of Hindu mythology and chastising of practicing Hindus. How else one could view the Govt. (Congress ( I ) ) sponsoring with its money an exhibition depicting Ram and Sita as brother and sister?

If we enter the real world, future of India is much more disturbing (http://www.bengalgenocide.com or here).

A decade ago politicians, Govt. officials and media representatives (journalists) at-least could possibly agree and speak in public about presence of more than 70 million Bangladeshi Muslims in West Bengal and Assam. But competition for Muslim votes among inept political parties across the political spectrum, virulent and violent response of some sections of Muslims - reacting to their own perceived insults to their Koran and Prophet - have simply made even discussing issues involving national security impossible. Abetting this kind of state of affairs is self serving media. If one wants a proof for what I wrote, one can look at how Govt. is giving the vip treatment to lone terrorist - involved in Mumbai shootings that killed about 180 people - convicted by courts and silence of media on this.

Even when not associated with RSS or BJP in any manner, any one mentioning this kind of issues (e.g. illegal immigrants) elicits accusations of being Hindu fascists and inhumane from secular politicians, self-labelled intellectuals and human rights entrepreneurs. And media always finds space in their papers to report such shibboleths.

But when 150 Hindu refugees - who came as pilgrims on visas - asked for extending their visas and also asylum, our Govt. - based on secularism and humanity - simply said, "NO."

The report (1): ‘Pak Hindus, Sikhs will have to return

And the matter went to Delhi high court and it temporarily stopped the forced deportation of hapless refugees.

The report (2): Why no asylum to terrified Pak Hindu refugees, asks HC

Their condition can be read below; The Deccan Herald reports:

Scarred and scared, these Pakistani Hindus seek refuge in India 
{{{
A group of 146 Pakistani Hindus took refuge at capital's Majnu ka Tilla Sep 8 after crossing the Attari border Sep 4. 
"I don't fear for my life but for my family. I decided to come here as there is no place for Hindus in Pakistan. Sexual assault, forced conversion, abduction and humiliation is all this country (Pakistan) has given us," Shobhamal told IANS
Shobhamal's 18-year-old son died of cancer here earlier this month.   
With their tourist visas expired some two months ago, these people from Bagidi community are reluctant to go back to Sindh where, they say, there is no security of their life and property.  
Hindus form around seven percent of the total population of Sindh province.  
"We don't want to go back. We are outcast there. We appeal to the government that please just give us refuge and we don't want any citizenship," rues 45-year-old Ganga Ram.  
Gang Ram has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, requesting extension of their visas and shelter. 
They are currently living in 12 tents and share one dilapidated toilet -- but say they don't have much complaints.  
"We are happy here. Though life is tough here, it's not an ordeal what it used be in Pakistan. There, you bear the brunt of being non-Muslims," said Sagar, a mechanic, who was robbed of all his tools with which he used to make his ends meet.  
"They force us to convert to Islam and threaten of dire consequences. They abduct our children  and loot our property. If we complain, nobody listens. There, even the prime minister is not safe, let alone Hindus," says Mithalal, who is in his 50s.  
When this IANS correspondent tried to speak to the women in the community, a sense of reluctance took over. However, a few narrated their ordeal, after much convincing.   
"When our husbands are away for work, we keep our doors locked and live in constant fear. We are not allowed to wear vermillion on our foreheads," said Rukmini.  
           
"We don't eat our food until our children come back as you never know they might be kidnapped or circumcised," said a woman, refusing to reveal her identity.    
}}}

The above report does not give the whole picture of life of Hindus, Sikhs and Christians living in Pakistan - in better words - the state of religious minorities in Islamic societies (here).

According to 1998 census Hindus constitute 1.6% of population with  >90% alone living in Sindh. It is only a matter of time this community disappears (ethnically cleansed from Pakistan).

Suffering and extermination of Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan never really comes in to the conscience of our Bollywood heroes, -Khans, who regularly go to Pakistan and champion friendly relations between India and Pakistan - and our intellectuals like Kuladeep Nayyar.

Contrast the above truth with often quoted 'politically correct' text in the establishment: India maintaining Good relations with Israel hurts sentiments of Muslims in India.

All this hypocrisy is in perfect line with universally happening reality i.e. the religious sentiments of Muslims are more important than lives and property of Non-Muslims, freedom of expression and other constitutional rights. The consequences of such logic and policy are detrimental to democracies and free world.

P.S. Below are links to some news and articles giving account of Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan.

Non-Muslims in India have no human rights, media thinks.


Indians are mindful of how politicians - unconstitutionally - pander to demands of adherents - section of maulvis - of the religion of peace; one example is even reversing High court order for construction of mosques illegally with state money in Delhi state (here and here). And the problem is much deeper.

Lately, even media started selectively censoring news that shows Islam, its doctrines and its adherents in unfavorable colors. When media was reporting on Deganga violence perpetuated by some extremist elements in Muslim community, it never mentioned criminals by their religion. At times, it chooses to ignore the whole incident like NDTV ignoring the whole Deganga episode.

In November, police in J & K arrested a Christian pastor CM Khanna because he was proselytizing and propagating Christianity ( a constitutional right ) and 7 Muslims for converting to Christianity. Only Zee news reported this (here).

The same report also mentions sharia courts (courts to enforce Islamic law i.e. Sharia law), undoubtedly unconstitutional and inhuman, calling the shots. In the whole report, criticism of or showing concern about existence of sharia courts in the state is simply non-existent. And this is not all.

Later, when pastor wanted to apply for bail, the bar association in Srinagar has threatened to debar lawyers from practice if they represented the pastor in the court (here). This is reminiscent of incident of lawyers in Pakistan showering rose petals on the killer of Punjab Governor (here)  - Salman Taseer - which was also reported in our media too. But, media choose not to report what is taking place in our country, for some enlightened reasons!

Considering that people like me are labelled as Islamaphobes for writing that Islam prohibits proselytizing by other religions and also awards death penalty to those Muslims leaving Islam, now, should some one say that bar association is also suffering from Islamaphobia?

To know Islamic law on freedom of religion, read chapter 8 and chapter 11 from 'reliance of traveller' - English translation of Sharia law book -  which is also certified to be authentic and accurate by none other than Al-Azhar University, the highest Islamic institute in Sunni Islam (here).

In the end, by failing to report and criticize the existence of Sharia courts in India media simply upheld Sharia law which treats Non-Muslims as fourth class citizens.
