UN terror debate: Pakistan warns against defaming Islam

[Solomon2]

You do the same with your bigotry filled biased responses.

"Bigotry"? I am not intolerant of other people's opinions. You have the right to you own opinions.

What you don't have is the right to your own facts. And insisting on keeping to your opinion when it is based on a lie - what greater proof is there of bigotry than that?

Kudos to Maleeha Lodhi, she is saying the right thing.

 

[AKD]

When its Islam then terrorism has no religion but the word "Hindu Terrorist" comes up very often... Linking religion with terrorism??

 

[Jugger]

Well some will say that terrorism has no religion.
Some will also say that religion is linked with terrorism, as the terrorists use purposefully twisted religions connotations to corrupt the minds of people.
It's up to the individual to use whatever term to convey their meaning.
In this context Maleeha Lodhi used it to portray her countries perspective.

 

[T-72M1]

too late for that.

btw, it's countless instances of muslims acting in the name of Islam committing violent acts of murderous jihad, not 'others', who have defamed islam.

Your point being that you are conditioned to promote defamatory lies about Jews as "true", even though you know better.

Do you guys ever shut up about us being "conditioned to hate"? We don't hate Jews, but we hate Zionists. If that bothers you, guess what pal? Go to the Israeli Military Forum. I'll even link it for you:

Pointing out that Pakistan continues to increasingly face terrorists supported externally, she said, “One of their principal targets is the major infrastructure we are currently building in Pakistan in order to undermine our economic accomplishments and stability” — an obvious reference to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.

That ladies and gentlemen is the mother of all issues Pakistan is facing. "Externally" supported terrorism.

Our response to tackle this "externally" supported terrorism till date is only in rhetoric.

Real Message:
Pakistan warns against blaming it for the rise of Islamic terror...
Typical Pakistani state policy..when blamed..take cover and hide under religion..!

Why pakistan should always take the pain? Why no GCC countries raise against these Islamic issues?

For all practical purpose Pakistanis are still Hindus..the Islam of Arabia and Islam of Pakistan two different religions..!
We are already disowned by Arabs and very soon will be isolated as well

Is there anything internal we are going to confess??
Or continue to blame external factions forever?
Countries dont run on blame games, they run on taking responsibility..

If you're relying on lies to justify killing Jews - even if those Jews are Zionists - then that is indeed antisemitic. Martin Luther King recognized there was no difference between hatred of Zionists and antisemitism. And no Pakistani can claim "we don't hate Jews" as Jews existed in Pakistan at independence but have disappeared since - many immigrated to Israel - and have not been welcomed back.

If that bothers you, guess what pal? Go to the Israeli Military Forum -

You're going to have to be specific if your intent is to refute me.

Question is ..why do you bother with conflict in a separate continent of the world? We have nothing to give and nothing to take from zionist...no use of marching the cheer leading parade..Arabs are laughing at us!

 

[Peshwa]

Islam (the religion) is not being linked with terrorism, its the use of Islam to promote terrorism through hateful ideologies and false interpretation of Islamic writings that is the target.
Theres a huge difference!
No religion promotes terrorism, its people under the influence of false ideologies that do this. They are the ones to be targeted.

To be honest, Muslims need to stop explaining that Islam has no connection with terrorism. No matter which part of the world is under terrorism attack. If these lobbies and big fishes can spend billions of dollars to back militants. Then they can spend enough money in propagating against the teachings of Islam and in defaming it.

 

[Trango Towers]

So it's not possible, even in theory, for a religion or creed to exist that is linked to terrorism?

Not even for you Jews. Although you are the masters of terrorism prophet Moses is against it. So your religion isn't about terror but you are

Well then MLK must have been a pretty stupid person to think being against Zionists meant being against all Jews. That's like saying since I hate Islamic terrorism I hate all Muslim's, which is preposterous as I'm Muslim myself!

Funny, I don't recall anyone in the history of Pakistan being singled out for being a Jew with the exception of Daniel Pearl, and even then that was by rogue militants and the state actually tried to save him. Heck, locals were the ones who made sure all his body parts got to the morgue once we knew he was dead! Make no mistake, the Jews left Pakistan at their own will.

You see those things Allah has given you? You know, on your face? Their called eyes, do you know what you're supposed to do with them? That's right, see things! There's a link to the site smarty pants.

Congrats on becoming think tank btw.

Because we are all Muslim, and we should try to stay united. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, I don't care if people like you think that the Ummah is broken, because even if it is, like everything else that is broken it can be fixed.

Pakistan has, since 1970 successfully marketed this failed brand of Ummah Chumma!
While everyone else, including the Arabs are laughing at us...Ummah is a one way street...where we give and everyone takes!

Alqaida was born in Arabia we end up owning OBL out of this Ummah....and today Arab law makers are calling Pakistan a failed state where Taliban movement was born!

Lets put the record straight..we are not muslims..and we are not ummah..when it comes to country and its people...we are ..above all..first and foremost..Pakistanis first!
