Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is a darling of India’s liberals and Islamic apologists. Recently, addressing a gathering in Pakistan on the day of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, Khan said there was no ‘mention of Jesus in history’ and all other prophets were insignificant to Muhammad, according to a report by Middle East Media Research Institute.
“There were prophets of Allah other [than Muhammad], but there is no mention of them in human history. There is negligible mention of them. Moses is mentioned, but there is no mention of Jesus in history. But the entire life of Muhammad, who was Allah’s last prophet, is part of history,” Khan was quoted as saying.
On freedom of speech, he it is not a legitimate pretext to hurt somebody’s religion. He observed that the West should be made to understand Muslims’ love for the Prophet Muhammad. Khan said his government would undertake efforts to get countries to sign onto the “International Convention on Preventing the Defamation of Religions,” which would state that freedom of speech is an insufficient pretext for hurting the world’s Muslims, said the report.
“Today’s [great] civilization, the West, learned from the Muslims in Spain. They started reading. Aristotle and Greek philosophies reached Europe through Muslims, and then European civilization rose,” he said.
