Radical groups in Pakistan file a petition in the apex court to revoke Holy Bible in Pakistan. By: Jawad Mazhar

Islamabad: June 3, 2011. (PCP) A group of fanatic Muslim clerics in Pakistan filed a petition to clamp ban on the Holy Bible

as it contains passages and miracles of Lord Jesus Christ which he performed during the three (03) of preaching period upon the face of earth. But these passages and miracles were seen as humiliation of the Islamic Prophet by radical Muslim elements. PCP learnt through very reliable sources.

Sources alleged in case court failed to do so, they added, their lawyers’ team would table an application for the Bible to be officially banned in Pakistan.

The movement was intrigued and stirred up by the clerics at a Lahore mosque and it was reported Tuesday in the Karachi daily “The News” and the Urdu-language “Roznama Islam”, is the latest attempt by radicals to use the country’s blasphemy laws to shield Islam from perceived insults.

The heinous campaign was formed and initiated by a Muslim cleric identified a Mollana (Islamic scholar)

Farooqi, who is leader of the Islamist organization JUI-S, (Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam, Sami-ul-Haq group).

He said the “insertions” in the Bible were offensive to Muslims, who hold all prophets in high esteem.

Reports on Farooqi’s statements did not include references to the supposedly blasphemous passages. So sensitive is the subject in Pakistan that people are typically accused of blasphemy without the actual offending words being repeated, lest the accuser, court official or anyone else be accused themselves of blaspheming.

Muslim teaching holds that Mohammed did not establish a new religion in the 7th century, but was the last in a long line of prophets of Islam stretching back to Adam, and including Moses and Jesus.

Among the biblical figures viewed by Muslims as Islamic prophets are some whom the Bible clearly describes as behaving immorally, such as David, who coveted a man’s wife and so sent him to face certain death on the battle frontlines; and Solomon, who later in life sought out pagan women and their gods.

On the other hand, Biblical assertions that Jesus is God, that he died and rose from the dead, and that salvation comes through his name only, are all in conflict with Islamic teachings.

It’s sad as Pakistani Christians were already facing the draconian Blasphemy Laws of Pakistan and all the time they live under the sword of death but they would have to face this additional pressure by Muslims in Pakistan.

Farooqi was quoted as saying he was confident Blasphemy could be proven in court. If they failed to do so, he said, he and his colleagues would accept whatever punishment the court would choose to impose.

“But do we know what the Bible says about Old Testament prophets? What if the stories of the Bible are taken to court and found blasphemous? Will we then have to burn the Bible and kill all the Christians who read it?”

Farooqi’s JUI-S party, a split from another religious party named JUI, is closely associated with Jihad organizations including the Taliban.

Its founder, Sami-ul-Haq, heads a madrassa (Islamic seminary) that was attended by key Taliban figures, including Mullah Omar head of Taliban/ Mujahedeen.

It is also, unfortunately, one of the preconditions needed for Christ to come again.

A worldwide rejection of the Word of God.

This is towards a very big fulfillment of prophecy.

Then the solution is all to simple for our country to enact. Cut them off at the knees and let them figure out how to handle India. If they are stupid enough to lob nukes at their neighbor, then let them suffer the consequences. A little mass clearing of the air is going to bring a few idiots to the reality of physics.

yes, those are Muslim States.
and Islam IS a religion.
...it is the religion of Satan.

but it is a real religion, moreso than even Wiccan or Buddhism.

and, as per the establishment clause, we should NOT be building mosques and buying Qurans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or nation-building a country and training their armies, when their constitutions have Sharia law and Islam specifically at their core.

easy bet. he’s correct.
in Islam, calling anyone the son of God, is fundamentally blasphemous.
just as to Christians, saying Jesus is NOT the Son of god, is blasphemous.
(someone should remind Warren and the promoters of “Chrislam” about this...)

Islam and Christianity are oil and water. Muslims admit this, if they think you are Muslim. they will tell you, we do NOT worship the same God.

and Islam does not recognize any non-sharia government as legitimate.
it is inherently seditious, and should be banned NOW, before it is too late, as it is in Britain and France.

Actually, all of the Middle East, until Mohammud used to be Christian.

However, there have always been pockets of God’s faithful, no matter where you looked.

In the end, it is to be extinguished.

Pakistan is not the Middle East. It's in South-Asia, part of the Indian sub-continent. Before they were forcibly converted, the Pakis were Hindus or Buddhists and some Sikhs

Also, while much of what is now the Middle East was Christian, iran was majority Zoroastrian until the Islamic invasion, Iraq and Bahrain and Qatar and Kuwait were split between Zoroastrians, Christians and Manicheans (with Sabeans and Yazidis) and Yemen was a mix between Judaism and Christianity while Saudi arabia, oman was a mix of Christianity, Judaism and pre-Islamic paganism

Fine, let’s ban the unholy koran (piss be upon it!) in the U.S. and see how that plays in Pakistan.

“Pakistan is not the Middle East. It's in South-Asia, part of the Indian sub-continent. Before they were forcibly converted, the Pakis were Hindus or Buddhists and some Sikhs”

And that is part of the reason why Pakistanis are the most intelligent, skilled and also the most virulent then any other muslim in the world.

The world owes a lot to the Hindus and Sikhs. If Hindus and Sikhs has not ferociously resisted Islam (in what is one of the bloodiest history of Islamic conquest), you would have had a subcontinent of 1.5 billion Muslims. If you think a Pakistan of 150 million is bad enough, think of a Pakistan of 1.5 billion Muslims.

And if all 1.5 million people of Pakistan, Bangladesh and India had been Muslims..... UK of today would have easily been overrun by Muslim hordes from the subcontinent.

Moreover if the India had been added to the vast expanse of Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia, Islam would have been unbeatable in the world. Its the reason why radical Muslims think of India as the “unfinished business”. India is the one country standing in the way of Islam and world domination.
