X Posted from the “Oppression of Minorities in Pakistan” thread.

Non-Mohammaddens learn what it is to be a Dhimmi Kaafir in the world’s first Ideological Muslim State, Sole Islamic Nuclear Weapon State and Citadel of Islam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Reciting Mohammadden text of Quran aka Koran from memory entitles one for extra marks towards selection for Medical College. Reciting from memory the Avesta, Bible, Guru Granth, The Vedas, Tripitaka or Torah does not entitle one for extra marks towards selection for Medical College in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Buddhists, Christists, Jews, Sikhs or Zoroastrians looking for extra marks must be good Dhimmi Kaafirs and submit by memorizing Mohammadden Texts.

Besides demonstrating that one has good power of memorization what aptitude for a Medical Degree does memorizing the Quran demonstrate?

For minority students, no marks for learning scriptures

UK Subway Shops Succumb To" Islami Halal Only " Crowd !
Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after 'strong demand' from Muslims
Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from almost 200 outlets, and switched to halal meat alternatives in an attempt to please its Muslim customers.It has confirmed turkey ham and turkey rashers will be used instead in 185 of its stores, where all the meat will now be prepared according to halal rules.The chain, which has around 1,500 outlets across the UK, explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with 'the views of religious communities'.
What is going to be the next "demand"; removal of "ham and bacon " products from supermarket shelves :evil:
Traditional halal slaughter sees animals have their throats slit before bleeding to death. But Subway stressed that the meat served in its sandwiches would come from animals that have been stunned first, a practice that aims to reduce any suffering.In Arabic the word halal means 'permitted' or 'lawful' and defines anything that is allowed or lawful according to the Qur'an.It is often used to indicate food - particularly meat - has been prepared in accordance with Muslim principles and techniques.
So, "Great " Britain is on a "steady course" to becoming a Darul- Islam , considering that there are "no-go" areas where "Sharia laws" and other Islamic practices are ruthlessly implemented !
In Britain, killing an animal without prior stunning is illegal, but the law gives special exemption to Muslim and Jewish meat producers on the grounds of religion.There are thought to be around 12 abattoirs dedicated to unstunned slaughter in the UK, while hundreds practise stunned halal slaughter. ( Is this practice sharia approved? )A Subway spokeswoman told MailOnline all halal meat served in the participating branches is from animals who were stunned prior to slaughter.
Speaking about the general issue of halal slaughter, an RSPCA spokeswoman added: 'Scientific research has clearly shown that slaughter of an animal without stunning can cause unnecessary suffering, and the RSPCA is opposed to the slaughter of any animal without first making it insensible to pain and distress.
'At present, the only legal exemptions to stunning during slaughter exist for kosher and halal methods of slaughter, however, it is important to differentiate between ‘religious’ and ‘non-stun’ slaughter as around 90 per cent of all halal in the UK receives a stun before slaughter.
'Our concern has nothing to do with the expression of religious belief but with the practice of killing by throat cutting without pre-stunning.
Am pretty sure that a "third rate mullah" somewhere has already coming out with a fatwa deeming this " pre stunning " practice UnIslamic !

Commonwealth Games gold medallist Heena Sidhu stands tall to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s bullying of Non-Mohammadden Women and resists Iran’s insistence that female participants clothe themselves in attire compliant with Mohammadden belief by boycotting the Asian Airgun Shooting Championship in Tehran.

Disgustingly the Sports Association that administers Shooting in India, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), has adopted a Dhimmi like stance in this affair and has not taken Mohammadden Supremacist behavior of imposing Hijab dress code head on boycotting the tournament.

Indian sports star boycotts Iranian competition over Hijab requirement : 'You follow your religion and let me follow mine,' says Heena Sidhu

Wall Street Journal Editorial on the malign influence of Non-Mohammadden’s civil rights groups with left leaning political views going to bat against Mohammadden’s out to reform Mohammaddenism’s excesses. Specifically the WSJ editorial castigates US based Southern Poverty Law Center’s decision last week to brand two Mohammadden reformers, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Britain’s Maajid Nawaz, as “anti-Muslim extremists.”

Where else have I heard the complaint that “criticizing Islamist movements, ideologies and regimes, and Islam itself, is the same as hating Muslims” :wink: :?:
Branding Moderates as ‘Anti-Muslim’

The American left tries to stigmatize Muslim reformers.

As if facing down violent Islamist fanatics isn’t enough, Muslim reformers now have to dodge attacks from the American left. Consider the Southern Poverty Law Center’s decision last week to brand two such reformers, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Britain’s Maajid Nawaz, as “anti-Muslim extremists.”

Founded in 1971 by civil-rights activists, the Montgomery, Alabama-based law center says it’s committed to “fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.” That apparently doesn’t include civil rights in the Muslim world or among Muslims living in the U.S.

Ms. Hirsi Ali, who sometimes writes for these pages, is a native of Somalia who later immigrated to the Netherlands and then the U.S. She has braved death threats from jihadists for criticizing female genital mutilation, blasphemy laws, and repression of women and minorities in the Muslim world.

The report attempts to cast doubt on her personal story. Ms. Hirsi Ali, the group sneers, “says she endured female genital mutilation.” It goes on to call her “toxic” for arguing that there is an ideological and theological dimension to what used to be called the war on terror. By that measure France’s Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls is also an extremist.

Mr. Nawaz is a British-Pakistani former Islamist who now campaigns against jihadist ideology. He has opposed Islamist movements in the U.K. as well as far-right parties such as the English Defence League. Among the law center’s evidence for its anti-Muslim claim: Mr. Nawaz once posted a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on Twitter “despite the fact that many Muslims see it as blasphemous.” The Ayatollah Khomeini would agree.

The unstated premise of the report is that criticizing Islamist movements, ideologies and regimes, and Islam itself, is the same as hating Muslims. If the Western left believes this, then already-embattled reformers in the Muslim world will be even more isolated.

'I live in a lie': Saudi Arabia women speak up
We're not allowed to even go to the supermarket without permission or a companion, and that's a simple thing on the huge, horrendous list of rules we have to follow." — Dotops, 24
Tng my dad's approval in things he should be a part of. These very strong social bonds you will never, ever understand." — Noura
We're not allowed to even go to the supermarket without permission or a companion, and that's a simple thing on the huge, horrendous list of rules we have to follow." — Dotops, 24
The male guardianship makes my life like a hell!! We want to hang out with our friends, go and have lunch outside. I feel hopeless." — Juju19, 21
"I don't mind taking my dad's approval in things he should be a part of. These very strong social bonds you will never, ever understand." — Noura
These are three of the nearly 6,000 women from Saudi Arabia who wrote to The New York Times this week about their lives.We had put a call-out on our website and on Twitter in conjunction with the publication of "Ladies First," a Times documentary I directed about the first Saudi elections in which women were allowed to vote and run for local office.
Saudi Arabia is an incredibly private, patriarchal society. While I was making the film, many women were afraid to share their stories for fear of backlash from the male relatives who oversee all aspects of their lives as so-called guardians. We wanted to hear more about their fears, their frustrations, their ambitions.
Saudi Arabia has one of the world's highest rates of Twitter use, and our posts rocketed around. We were overwhelmed by the outpouring.
Most of the responses focused on frustration over guardianship rules that force women to get permission from a male relative — a husband, father, brother or even son — to do things like attend college, travel abroad, marry the partner of their choice or seek medical attention. Some women talked about the pride they had in their culture and expressed great distrust of outsiders. But many of them shared a deep desire for change and echoed Juju19's hopelessness.There was an angry backlash under the Twitter hashtag that was Arabic for "Don't tell The New York Times." And there was a backlash to the backlash: "#don't_tell_theNewYork_times that if your father rapes you and you run away, then you will go to prison, and if they let you out, then they will send you back to him."
Excerpts from the women's responses are below, many translated from Arabic. In order to enable women to feel free to speak openly, we gave them the option of anonymity. Where possible, we verified the identity of the respondent or location of her email. In some cases, that proved impossible.We want to keep the conversation going. Feel free to email us.
A life restricted"I got into an accident once in a taxi, and the ambulance refused to take me to the hospital until my male guardian arrived. I had lost a lot of blood. If he didn't arrive that minute, I would've been dead by now." — Rulaa, 19, Riyadh
"Every time I want to travel, I have to tell my teenage son to allow me." — Sarah, 42, a doctor in Riyadh
"My sister went to a bookstore without taking permission from her husband, and when she returned, he beat her up without restraint." — Al Qahtaniya, 28, Riyadh"The door of the school where I work is closed from early morning till noon. There is a man guarding the door. Even if a teacher is done with her classes, she cannot leave. Metal gates keep us as prisoners." — Malak, 44, Riyadh
And to top it all, this barbaric nation was recently re-elected (on basis of "money diplomacy ") to the UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL !!!!

Has this news been reported our secular media ?

Hundreds attack Hindu homes, temples in Bangladesh -- Seattle Times
Originally published October 31, 2016 at 3:55 am Updated October 31, 2016 at 4:10 am

The Associated Press

NEW DELHI (AP) — Hundreds of Muslims in eastern Bangladesh angry about a social media post launched a wave of attacks against Hindu temples and homes in a rare convulsion of communal violence in the region, Bangladeshi police said Monday.

Police arrested 15 people suspected of taking part in the violence, which erupted over a social media post depicting the Hindu god Shiva over a picture of the Kaaba, the large cube-shaped building in Mecca that is considered one of the holiest places in Islam.

As news of the post spread through neighborhoods in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, hundreds of people rampaged for two hours Sunday through Hindu communities east of Dhaka, the capital, said senior regional police officer Abdul Karim.

Police said 100 homes and five Hindu temples were looted. Some rioters apprehended a 27-year-old man they suspected of posting the offensive picture, but police have yet to determine if he posted it.


“We are working on it,” Karim said.

Police reinforcements and members of Bangladesh’s paramilitary border guard have been deployed in the area, around 150 kilometers (94 miles) east of Dhaka.

Such cases of vandalism and civic unrest between religious communities in Bangladesh are considered uncommon, though the country is struggling to stem a wave of violence by radical Islamist militants targeting religious minorities and atheists.

mindless violence over just Shiv ji on a picture of kabaa which is anyways a famous historical speculation about the kabaa being a Shiv mandir. Day in and day out Indian deities and associations are used and abused to hurt Hindu sentiments in India without any outcry.Some become celebrities and public intellectuals just on this :-?

"Senile Saudi " Forced To Resign From Ummah Organization !
OIC chief quits after mocking Egypt president
AFP — Published about 9 hours ago
The world's largest pan-Islamic body, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said its Saudi chief resigned Monday, days after infuriating Egypt over a remark that mocked President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.OIC Secretary-General Iyad Madani “has resigned for health reasons”, the Jeddah-based organisation said in a statement, two days after Cairo condemned the comment that provoked outrage among Egyptians.
The former Saudi minister made the comment last week after he mixed up Sisi's name with that of Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi at a conference.
“Mr President Beji Caid al-Sisi. Essebsi sorry. This is a big mistake. I'm sure your fridge has more than water, your excellency,” he told the Tunisian leader.He was referring to widely derided comments made by Sisi earlier last week in which he claimed that his fridge only had water in it for a decade.
IMO, this is "nothing new" as all Saudi appointments are strictly based on either patronage, sycophancy, "sifarish ( as in Pakiland !), belonging to the "right Royal faction "; nothing to do with competency, experience and other objective criteria that "normal" countries follow :mrgreen:

Share of Muslims in jail bigger than in the population, show NCRB data

Image

Phenomena of over representation of adherents of Mohammaddenism among Prison inmate population is not restricted to India. This phenomena of Mohammadden over representation in jail inhabitants is also in evidence in the prisons of fellow Abrahamic countries having Christist majorities.

From Italy an article dating back to Feb 2014:

2% OF ITALY IS MUSLIM, 35% OF ITALIAN PRISONERS ARE MUSLIM

Per the below linked article from the UK’s Sky News datelined October 2013, in England and Wales, while Mohammaddens “make up less than 5% of the population” they make up “about 13% of the total prison population” :

Inmates Bullied Into Converting To Islam

The pattern of over representation of adherents of Mohammaddenism in the prison inmate population continues in France. The Washington Post reports that “About 60 to 70 percent of all inmates in the country's prison system are Muslim, according to Muslim leaders, sociologists and researchers, though Muslims make up only about 12 percent of the country's population.” in an article datelined back to April 2008:

IMHO, the reason why there is over-representation of Mohammadens In USA ( and other European prisons) is the "free hand" given to Muslim Chaplains AKA " Mullahs" ( in the guise of "equal rights" BS!); firstly they take "full advantage" of freedom of speech ( which they deny to minorities in their home country) and preach Wahabi version of their faith funded by oversees Saudi missions and secondly implement their long-term strategy of making every country - Dar-ul- Islam ! The added bonus is they also become "cannon fodder" and "fifth columns" for the various Jihadi outfits , when they come out ! If only these "ignorant future converts" knew the "reputation" of MALSI and what is contained in their "Holy Book" , they would think twice!

Paki "Islamic Brigade" Comes Out Of Closet In Support Of "Tomcatting Rights" !
CII to take up men’s rights issue today
SLAMABAD - In an interesting move, the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) will take up an issue regarding men’s rights in its upcoming session starting from today.In a letter addressed to the CII chairman, Sahibzada Zahid Mahmood Qasmi, one of the members, has raised the issue seeking its recommendation to pass a bill for the protection of the men’s rights.The CII, which has included the issue on its agenda, will discuss the matter during its three-day session starting on Monday.
Input from "Saudi Sharia experts" on this "touchy topic " should be a definite asset :mrgreen:
In the letter, Qasmi stated that on the pattern of a bill for women’s rights proposed by the council, another bill should also be adopted for the protection of men’s rights to save them from many sorts of ‘exploitations at the hands of women and their powerful families’. :roll:
This, in a "country" where "honour killing" goes unpunished !
While talking to The Nation, Qasmi said that he was thankful to CII Chairman Mohammad Khan Sherani who has included his suggestion for deliberation in the upcoming session of the council.He said that he was the ardent supporter of women’s rights and at the same time he wanted to see the rights of men be protected in the light of Quran and Sunnah, as the Holy Quran has explicitly defined the rights and duties of both men and women in their lives. :((
“There were cases where a woman has roughed up her husband by her brothers or a father and other relatives. In various districts of Punjab, several cases have come forth where men’s nails have been pulled out or their hands and feet have been cut off. These cases have been lodged in various police stations,” the letter said. “We support the rights of women but men should be granted their (tomcatting ?) rights as well.”

Story from the UK on how courts based on Mohammadden belief aka Sharia Courts are discriminating against women foolish enough to approach these Courts:
Shame on Sharia: Women beaten, robbed and raped. A chilling expose of how BRITISH females are being sentenced to lives of misery by Muslim courts

Sharia courts across Britain are denying Muslim women their legal rights
Being encouraged by the British state in the name of increased security
Commons Home Affairs Committee begun investigation into Islamic law
The courts are used by Muslim families to adjudicate on personal matters


By GITA SAHGAL, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST FROM THE ONE LAW FOR ALL CAMPAIGN AND CENTRE FOR SECULAR SPACE
PUBLISHED: 22:13 GMT, 12 November 2016 | UPDATED: 01:03 GMT, 13 November 2016

As a young British-Pakistani woman, Lubna faced an agonising decision. She was brought up a devout Muslim in a prosperous middle-class family in the north of England, but her arranged marriage to the father of her two children was a disaster.

He was both sexually abusive and physically violent; he and members of his family regularly beat up Lubna.

When he suddenly disappeared to pursue a new life in America with a new woman, she was left to work night and day to support his elderly parents until they threw her out of their house.

Lubna moved to London to rebuild her life. She studied for a university degree, and with the support of her family, began civil proceedings to divorce her husband.

Unlike her terrifying marriage, the process was largely pain-free. Thanks to a restraining order, her furious husband – who returned to contest the divorce – was banned from approaching her.

The court granted her custody of their children and successfully hid her address from him for fear of reprisals. But after she was persuaded to obtain an Islamic divorce in the sharia court, her true nightmare began.

First, the clerics tried to persuade her to attempt a reconciliation with her abusive husband. Then, after they disclosed her address, he threatened to kill her, kidnapped her children, and subjected her to an horrific rape that left her needing an abortion.

Lubna had not even thought she needed a sharia divorce, but shortly before her decree nisi was made absolute, her estranged husband stood up before a prayer meeting at her local mosque in East London and denounced her as ‘a loose woman’ who was being pimped by her widowed mother Shagufta.
He said he was ‘still willing to take her back for the sake of our children’.

Although at least one imam knew the horrific background to her marriage, a delegation from the mosque visited her family to persuade her to return. When that failed, the imam, an old family friend, put more pressure on Lubna to go to the sharia court.

To satisfy her devout Muslim mother, who was being intimidated by the wider Muslim community, she eventually went to the sharia court near London’s Regent’s Park. What happened there shocked her to her core.
Faced by a ‘bench’ of clerics who described themselves as ‘judges’, she expected to be able to describe her plight at the hands of her violent husband.

She told me: ‘The court was incredibly difficult. My mother and I were repeatedly told to be silent. None of the information from the civil proceedings, including non-molestation orders, was admissible in the sharia court.

‘When my ex-husband said he wanted a reconciliation, the judges said I should comply.

‘I tried to tell them about the violence and abuse I had suffered throughout the marriage, but was advised to be quiet. My mother was also silenced.’

She faced intrusive questioning about the last time she had sex with her husband – crucial, the judges told her, to determine exactly when their relationship had ended. She was also forced to disclose her address. …………………………..

Government bans controversial preacher Zakir Naik's NGO for 5 years
NEW DELHI: The government on Tuesday banned Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), the NGO of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik+ , as an 'unlawful organisation'( not terrorist !)for five years with immediate effect.
Declaration of IRF as 'unlawful' under Section 3 of the UAPA will force closure of its offices and interests across the country.
The Islamic orator is banned in the UK and Canada for his hate speech aimed against other religions. He is among 16 banned Islamic scholars in Malaysia.
Next logical step by GOI would to file charges against him for spreading communal hatred ; cancers like him should not be allowe to preach hate under the guise of freedom of speech, etc etc ; let us see what his reaction will be

British tourist 'gang-raped' in Dubai faces jail for having sex outside marriage
A British tourist allegedly gang-raped in Dubai faces a prison sentence and needs £24,000 for legal fees after police accused her of having "extra-marital sex".

The 25-year-old woman was reportedly arrested and charged after going to the authorities about the alleged attack by two Britons last month.

She is now on bail, but is not allowed to leave the country and is said to be "absolutely terrified" of being imprisoned for breaching strict laws on sex.

Adherents of Mohammaddenism do claim that their belief provides gender equality but Political Parties that claim to be motivated by Mohammadden belief can and do follow practices antithetical to that claim of practising gender equality. Female State President of women’s wing of Mohammadden political party Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Kamarunnisa Anwar, was stopped from addressing the audience at the state conference of Muslim Youth League at Kozhikode on 12 November by male IUML party State Secretary, M C Mayeen Haji. The reason for stopping Kamarunnisa Anwar per M C Mayeen Haji was the rather blunt gender biased statement that "We have no precedence of a woman addressing a male crowd":

Women needn't speak to male crowd; Muslim League secretary insults woman leader in public

Yet another attack by a Mohammadden seeking refuge upon the society from whom refuge is sought :roll: .

Person who doused himself with accelerant and set himself alight in a Melbourne bank branch of Commonwealth Bank on the Mohammadden Sabbath of Friday has been identified as a Mohammadden, specifically a Bangladeshi origin illegal migrant residing in Myanmar aka Rohingya who was trying to enter Australia claiming refugee status:

Suspect in Commonwealth Bank branch horror an asylum seeker
THE man who allegedly set himself on fire in a suburban Melbourne bank is believed to be a refugee from Myanmar, also known as Burma, living in Australia on a bridging visa. ………………….

The Herald Sun understands the man involved in yesterday’s attack had been invited to apply for a TPV — giving him a guaranteed right to work, and access to social security payments and public housing — but he was yet to do so.

A source said the man had been living in the community since 2013 and had no reported mental health issues.

It is believed he is a member of the Rohingya minority, a Muslim Indo-Aryan people who live mainly in the Rakhine state of Myanmar.

Sri Lankan Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe’s statement that Thirty-two Sri Lankan Mohammaddens from “well-educated and elite” families have joined Mohammadden group Islamic State aka IS aka ISIS in Syria sets off complaint of racism” by some of Sri Lanka’s Mohammadden population.

Given the well-established track record of Mohammaddens coming from “well-educated and elite” families indulging in Mohammadden Terrorism such as millionaire Osama Bin Laden and Physician Ayman al-Zawahiri, I cannot fathom why some of the Sri Lankan Mohammadden community are getting unduly worked up about Minister Rajapakshe’s statement. If Mohammaddens devoted the time now spent in conjuring up a narrative of victimhood for being mentioned as being involved in terrorism, to instead ensuring that fellow adherents of Mohammaddenism are not seduced into going to foreign lands and indulging in terrorist activities, it would benefit both Mohammaddens and the world:
Thirty-two Sri Lankan Muslims from "well-educated and elite" families have joined Islamic State in Syria, the justice minister told parliament on Friday, promising that the government would clamp down on extremists.

The statement by minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe was condemned by representatives of the Muslim minority, who complained of racism.

"All these (Muslims) are not from ordinary families. These people are from the families which are considered as well-educated and elite," Rajapakshe said, adding that the government was aware of some foreigners coming to Sri Lanka to spread what he called Islamic extremism. …………….
From Reuters:

Sri Lanka says 32 'elite' Muslims have joined Islamic State in Syria

Brits urged :roll: not to report Dubai crimes after 'gang-raped' woman arrested for extra-marital sex
A charity is advising UK nationals not to report rapes to the Dubai police after a sex attack victim was arrested when she went to the authorities for help.The 25-year-old woman was locked up by police after telling them she had been gang-raped by two British men in a Dubai hotel room.
She has reportedly been released on bail but had her passport confiscated and could face charges of having extra-marital sex.Radha Stirling, the founder of Detained in Dubai, told the Independent that Dubai police assumed Western women were "looking for it".Ms Stirling claimed British people could potentially fall foul of the countries strict law as for reporting rape or any other crime.She said: "There is the social perception that if a woman drinks alcohol, she has consented to it."And there’s also a racist mentality of thinking, ‘She’s British so she was probably drunk and asking for it’.”"We get people contacting us asking whether they should report a crime and – whether it be a rape or anything else – I often say no," she said. "Absolutely not."
All these Gulf Sheikhdoms ( Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrein ) want western tourists to visit their desert wastelands for hot sun, hot shopping, and "hot fun"; with reference to the "hot fun" :mrgreen: ) make sure that you do it behind the "four walls" and don't get caught in public, otherwise it will automatically trigger the ISLAMIC LAWS OF THE LAND ! (very few tourists are aware that all these fiefdoms are governed by Sharia; the so-called liberal veneer is for show only !) CAVEAT EMPTOR ! IOW "TOURISTS" BEWARE !!!

No no if she is British and out in the desert because she is unemployable in Britain even with white privilege, she could not possibly have been high and drunk.

Just does not fit the profile.


Having said that, the Arabs really need to think about emerging from the seventh century.

Jo bakistan me Gandu woh US Army me bhi Gandu
working at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill before retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 2010. He had traded the cigars and whiskey of his youth for a tightknit family, a large house in Bel Air, Md., and Friday prayers at a Baltimore mosque. :lol:
At 57, with a military pension, the new job, a loving wife, and a son and daughter both studying to become doctors, Nasir Siddique had many reasons to be happy.

Instead, he was deeply disturbed. :roll:
she wonders whether he could have been framed or somehow forced to commit the killings. [Pakistani CT-giri never leaves a daughter born in the US studying to be a doctor]
Nasir was not a brawny soldier. He was barely 5-foot-4 and never saw combat, instead specializing in budgeting and monitoring air quality on bases. :rotfl:
And when Aasi [his brother]suggested that 9/11 was an inside job,
He complained to Aasi that family members weren't liking or commenting on his Facebook posts. :rotfl:

Gurus just a observation during 2004-2007 before recession in massa land or I should say (before abot'bad raid) prokies were gung ho about how the religoin of peace is the fastest spreading/growing religoin in massa land. They were all learning Arabic and all smoking that they would be king of this land via there mass crusade as in eoirope. Now suddently they are hated and running heltor sceltor hiding under indian last names, indian clothes etc.

So it needs some discussion what let to this trend reversal in past 10 years.

[url=https://t.co/FhklBNGMo7]Zakir Naik Allegedly Laundered Rs 100 Crore Through His Family And NGO

Zakir Naik Allegedly Laundered Rs 100 Crore Through His Family And NGO
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating a layering of funds amounting to Rs 47.69 crore received by televangelist Naik through banking channels and Rs 64 crore received as donations.Sources believe that the money, received through banking channels, has travelled through a series of accounts maintained by Naik's family members. In the case of donations received by IRF, the donors were mentioned just as "well-wishers.
A financial investigation discovered that the Rs 47.69 crore, declared as proceeds of Gulf investments, were remitted from Naik's Dubai bank account to his Union Bank of India account and relatives' accounts. The money was then transferred to four separate firms which do not have any employees.
In case of donations, only names of donors are mentioned on receipts without their contact details. This might be a case of money laundering…ED is exploring the likelihood of invoking the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Naik. ED can register a case under PMLA if there is already a schedule offence like forgery or cheating registered against the suspect.
IMO this "Apostle of Peace" is never returning to India at least in the short term ; if he is "innocent" as he claims to be, there should have been no reason for him to skip his father's funeral ; what he is most likely to do is to attempt to apply pressure on GOI through powerful his powerful (political ) patrons in the Ummah countries (Saudia, UAE etc) to "go easy" on him ! Doubt that it will work .
