Extremists worldwide are using cunning ploys to evade justice—one through Pakistan’s draconian blasphemy laws, the other via the weaponized label of Islamophobia in Western nations. A revealing report highlights how both suppress criticism, foster division, and safeguard violent agendas.
In Pakistan, these laws are twisted for personal gain: neighbors settle disputes, colleagues nurse envies, and bigots target Christians by framing everyday conflicts as sacrilege. The fallout is devastating—arrests without evidence, lynch mob fears, and shattered lives for innocents.
Parallel dynamics play out abroad, where probing Islamist terror groups or radical preaching gets dismissed as phobia. This shields attackers who strike civilians, police, and institutions, equating their ideology with Islam itself and derailing accountability.
The document stresses that no faith justifies dominance over others. Sharia enforcements and ideological crusades represent oppression, not liberty, trampling minorities like Pakistan’s Christians.
To counter this, the report urges dismantling misuse: repeal predatory laws, promote transparent probes into extremism, and foster nuanced discourse. Societies built on true tolerance reject faith as a tool for control, prioritizing human rights and mutual respect instead.
