A Pakistani TV show known for his extreme views and hate speech has been barred from entering the U.S.

Orya Maqbool Jan who hosts TV Show “Harf-e-Raz” on NEO TV claimed he was stopped from boarding a flight to the U.S. by Pakistan’s airport authorities. Jan claimed the “American narrative in the Muslim world had failed and is closed to its worst defeat in Afghanistan”, he added “if they [U.S.] want to take revenge by stopping me from going to the U.S. then I have no interest in visiting the U.S. anyways. ”

“I am very happy that they wrote a letter and stopped me from boarding the plane”

Jan who started off his career as a writer is known for his extremist views. In October 2016 he along with a mob of over 100 people stormed the office of Pakistan’s Electronic Media Authority (PEMRA) after a hate speech complaint was filed against his program. Similarly, in October 2017, Jan claimed that minority Ahmadis deserved to be killed.

Speaking to NEO TV about the ban he questioned the U.S. Embassy decision and asked:

“Why was I issued a 5-year long visit visa in the first place if he could not travel”

In May last year, author and former Member of Pakistani Parliament, Farahnaz Ispahani had questioned the U.S. Embassy’s decision to grant him a visa.

Dear @usembislamabad: Who issued Orya Maqbool Jan a visa? 'Jan ..critical of Ahmadiyya Jama'at, feminism, atheism, secularism etc.'

— Farahnaz Ispahani (@fispahani) May 9, 2017

Jan claimed that his visa was issued two years ago which indicates that he was issued a visa in 2016 under President Obama’s administration. The current ban on Jan suggests that the Trump administration is getting tougher on immigration, this could mean stricter background checks for individuals from high-risk countries like Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Pakistanis on Twitter questioned why was Jan interested in visiting a country whose inhabitants he considered to be “Infidels”

Why did Orya want to go to US anyway? Kaafiron ka mulk and all that.

A terror sympathizer masquerading as an intellectual. But then perhaps we as a nation deserve such pseudos.

What is a terrorist sympathizer? Please dont recycle western phrases without much thinking.

 

[Zibago]

Let me clear it, the Taliban are nothing but another power hungry group within dozen around in Afghanistan. They are savages and I’m not agree with their type of Sharia.

Taliban are barely a single entity they are amalgamation of various regional warlords who occasionaly even clash with each other we have to understand Afghanistan is not a nation state

Spreading hate against the West

Interesting observation this!

Just accept lying down whatever is coming from the West. Be it occupation, terrorists, sanctions and what not! Just accept it as your destiny. Dont oppose. Dont resist and dont exercise freedom to disagree. For if you disagree, you are spreading hate agains the West. F**k off!

The situation in UK is not much different for Muslims,
Despite all hurdles, Islam is worlds fastest growing religion

Not true, Muslims in the U.K are safer than in the U.S, and better integrated too (perhaps with the exception of Rochdale).

Several incidents do not make the norm do they?
