Mentally Handicapped Man Charged With Blasphemy

If your mentally handicapped in Pakistan and set fire to your own house, things can get a bit strange if you happen to rent to a greedy moonbat relative.

Shahdara Town police on Saturday registered a blasphemy case against a mentally handicapped person for allegedly burning his house, which had a few copies of the Quran.

Should've had some Bibles, burning them is halal.

The case was registered against Nadir Ali under Section 295 B of the Pakistan Penal Code. The FIR stated that the incident took place on Friday. Shahid Maqbool, a relative of the accused who lived in the upper portion of the house on rent, is the complainant.

Several neighbours alleged that Shahid wanted to grab Nadir’s property because he was paying Nadir to live in the upper portion. Police said they had to register an FIR against Nadir on the orders of Assistant Superintendent of Police Tahir Mehboob after locals started demonstrating outside Shahdara Town police station. Police alleged that Shahid had convinced the locals that Nadir had burned copies of the Quran.

Daily Times has found that Nadir is an elderly person living in a house in Aslam Park, Street No 6, for several years. Nadir is mentally handicapped and does not meet his wife or children. He has brothers who are settled abroad. Nadir had given the upper portion of his house to Shahid Maqbool on rent.

Nadir allegedly set his house on fire, but got out of it in time. Shahid started alleging that Nadir had also burned a few copies of the Quran. Neighbours started protesting against Nadir outside the Shahdara Town police station. Police got to Nadir’s house and found burned out copies of the Quran and sent the accused to the Institute of Mental and Health Sciences on Jail Road.

Court Upholds State's Ban On Head Scarves

In a ruling the über Left and Islamists will be sure to shriek about, a German court has upheld a ban on head scarves

A court this week upheld a German state's ban on teachers wearing the Muslim head scarf in public schools, rejecting a woman's appeal against a decision not to employ her.

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, is one of several regions that have introduced head scarf bans for teachers in recent years.

The 28-year-old plaintiff had argued that the state's law was discriminatory and violated her religious freedom.

However, the administrative court in Duesseldorf said regional law did not allow for religious statements that might infringe on the state's neutrality toward students and parents. Presiding judge Kurt Buechel argued that wearing a head scarf does to some extent constitute an expression of religious conviction.

Purification of Europe

Some sobering commentary from Diana West: Imposing Islamic Law.

I saw something eerie this week. It wasn't an apparition exactly, but rather a head-spinning blur of headlines about global jihad that, rather incredibly, began to take on the unmistakable shape of a British old school tie.

How? Maybe I should start by explaining it was the old school tie that came to mind first in the form of a new publication on British education: namely, a 72-page manifesto (sorry, "guidance") from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) on how British state schools might better accommodate children from the Muslim community, which, according to the 2001 census, makes up 2.7 percent of the British population.

Did I say "better" accommodate their Muslim pupils? I mean, much, much better accommodate them. In fact, if the British were to adopt half of the MCB's recommendations for making British schooling Muslim-friendly, they might as well re-issue the 19th-century boy's school classic as Abdullah Brown's School Days. At the crux of the Muslim council's document is a call for special treatment for Britain's Muslim students that is so special as to reorient the entire British system according to Islamic law.
