As many readers of this strand of articles on the subject of Pakistan will know, this nation is a shithole primarily because it is built on the foundations of Islam. It is a nation that, because of Islam, has been on a downward civilisational spiral for decades and recent elections seem to suggest that it is liable to become a lot worse.
A party whose leader suggested that ‘nuking the Netherlands’ was a good idea has done surprisingly well in the latest Pakistani elections according to a report in the Bangladeshi Daily Star (h/t ROP).
The Bangladesh Daily Star said:
A relatively new anti-blasphemy party whose leader has reportedly vowed to nuke the Netherlands should he ever come to power did surprisingly well in Pakistan’s elections last week, which were tainted by the rise of extremist groups. Islamic fundamentalist parties fielded more than 1,500 candidates in Pakistan’s provincial and national elections that were won by cricket hero turned politician Imran Khan. Here AFP looks at how the main extremist parties fared during Wednesday’s polls.
The performance of Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), led by radical preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi, will worry mainstream politicians and human rights activists the most. The group, founded in 2015, entered the national consciousness last year when it blockaded the capital Islamabad for several weeks calling for stricter enforcement of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws. It wants the automatic death penalty for anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or the Prophet Muhammad.
Rizvi reportedly told journalists recently that if he took power in the nuclear-armed country he would “wipe Holland off the face of the earth”, over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published there. Fortunately for the Netherlands, TLP failed to win any of the 272 seats up for grabs in Pakistan’s National Assembly.
It did, however, capture two seats in the provincial assembly of Sindh. TLP polled over 2.23 million votes in the national assembly elections, its first general election, and more than 2.38 million provincial votes, election commission website data shows.
Although thankfully this particular bunch of savages did not win any seats in the national parliament it should worry everyone who is concerned about humanity to nearly five million Pakistanis thought voting for these savages was a good idea. This result shows to me that there is an awful lot of warped people in Pakistan who think killing people for insulting or even telling the truth about Paedo Mo is a good idea. The people who have voted for these nutters are probably steeped in savagery and approve of it and that shouldn’t just worry human rights organisations, it should worry everyone. It’s one thing for people to want to vote to protect their culture (although I’ve seen more acceptable cultures than that which exists in Pakistan on the end of a dirty toilet brush), but it is quite another thing for so many voters to choose to support what is little more than a ‘kill ’em all’ party.
Will the last sane and civilised person to leave Pakistan please turn off the lights. Pakistan is truly a nation that has been ‘done’ or rather done in by Islam.
The difference between India and Pakistan is ..that the party in power which is BJP started showing a lot of hindu fundamentalism…and has started to lose massive support because of it. The general wants to live in peace.
