God hates people
Thousands of supporters of a banned radical Islamist party have departed from the eastern Pakistan city of Lahore, clashing with police for a second day, a party spokesman and witnesses said on Saturday.
The group formed on Friday with the goal of reaching the capital, Islamabad, to pressure the government to release Saad Rizvi, the head of the Tehreek-e-Labiak Pakistan party.
“Radical” coupled with Islamist means deep hatred of women and “blasphemers.” (They consider most people blasphemers.)
Rizvi’s party gained prominence in Pakistan’s 2018 elections, campaigning on a single issue: defending the country’s blasphemy law, which calls for the death penalty for anyone who insults Islam. It has a history of staging violent protests to pressure the government to accept its demands.
What constitutes “insulting Islam”? You know. Disagreeing with anything the fanatics say about it.
Men. It’s always, every time, a subset of men who feel entitled to tell everyone else what to do, and then to use violence if the others don’t comply. It doesn’t matter what the underlying ideology is that they are using as an excuse, it is always male chauvinism; and women are always their first targets.
Hitting women poses less danger to the abuser than hitting other men.
Well yes, that invariably comes along with the rest of it.
