This really old thread has lots of links documenting how pedophilia in the form of child marriage, sex with children over the age of two, and bachi baza abuse of boys, is legal in fundamentalist Islamic countries: specifically Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

https://voat.co/v/pedogate/1903145

Did you know the Pakistani government tried to introduce a law banning child marriage and the Islamic Sharia council that approves or disapproves all parliamentary legislation prevented it from passing. So it's still legal in Pakistan from the age of two up.

So, it's no surprise that a Pakistani writer would support pedophilia.

Newsweek is part of the problem.

It illustrates the complete corruption that's taken place over the years. Morality erodes away until nothing but complete evil and immorality is left.

PizzaDestroyer

Even after this everyone on twitter slamming Fasih Ahmed will probably still laugh at any accusations that high level US politicians could be involved in child abuse... how ironic. He probably really is terrible, but he kind of does have a point that most people will try to ignore the possibility of real abuse happening around us

Could somebody just eugenic the shit out of that oxygen bandit?! Fucking L these people never fail to sink to the lowest form of life....I am talking prokaryotey like shit.

Limpness

Newsweek sold for $1.00. People no longer are drawn to CIA publications..TV or CNN. Very low ratings and subscriptions.

Great art? I saw some of alefantis" and polestar"s art and it was SHIT. Creepy as fuck.

Mad_As_Hell

My take on this is that he's pointing out the hypocrisy of people hopping on the #Metoo outrage bandwagon, who will soon move on to the next fashionable cause du jour with the problem ultimately remaining unsolved

Koalemos_Grottesco

When asked what his point was:

"Sustained action! No one will give a shit in a matter of weeks once the outrage quota is done"

some random user response: "you're projecting. A lot of us have been giving a shit for a long long time."

his response:

In the US? I’m glad. Try Muslim majority countries. Denialism. Complete

later...

This whole thing is twisted and nothing will ever change. That’s the real grief

It should never have been permitted and isn’t, legally. It happens. Everyone ignores it. Or they outrage and move on. Again, EVERYONE is complicit

Once again, this trainwreck of a sub seems to missing the forest for the trees.

Hortance

But everyone ISN'T complicit. "Everyone is complicit" is the "B" or "C" argument of the GUILTY. If "everyone" is guilty, then how can we single out anyone for punishment?

Well, Fasih, we can start with people who extol it as a virtuous source of inspiration for "great art". Have you been to Tony Podesta's recently?

Kill all child molesters. Cut their God Damn, Allah-Fucking heads off. ...and fuck Muhammad in the ass, too.

Kill them too.

Yeah... so what? Fuck you too 8_bil.

This newsweek editor has had 1 too many bacha bazi boys.

Buttfuckmebigfoot

Loving how based the comments are in this thread. Newsweek really showing the media’s true colors here guys, and the normies are finally taking notice

HugoWeaving

After reading his responses to people, this may have been a "taken out of context" kind of thing, intentionally or unintentionally with double meaning. He apparently meant to say that abuse victims themselves make good art, rather than abusing children makes for good art.

Jesus Christ. Let me spell it out: (a) Victims resort to art forms because no one believes them and no one hears them. (b) That was sarcasm aimed at the casual activists who’ve arrived for a fuel break at this issue as a cause

INSENSITIVE? Yeah. But proof of being involved in a darker, more sinister world? Maybe, maybe not.

argosciv

Can't disagree, in fact that's how I read that particular statement anyway. The rest of his tweets are also of concern, though - especially with current affairs in Pakistan... reeks of a malicious agenda, which is further concerning given his position as a media editor... If we then consider the London connection and, for example, (London Mayor Sadiq Khan* and that incident with the US embassy there...

Recently today, I commented on a Pakistan post, wondering how our work here could get in touch with their protesters. It seems that was accomplished in this tweet. On another note, wave goodbye to Newsweek, folks. Lol. That magazine will be lucky to survive, if I’m right about the climate of this issue. This may prove to be a good gauge of how much has changed here in the last year...

SYNCORSWIM

He's kind of funny. Snappy come backs. But the fact that he's sick just ruins it.

HugoWeaving

He finally gave up with the comebacks, but they were oddly half-witty one-liners. Makes me wonder if someone ELSE got hold of his account....would have to compare with older messages.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: This POS is editor of Newsweek Pakistan which is not exactly the same publication most people will be imagining, that is, Newsweek . But this magazine IS connected to the major publication through several layers of licensing -- though in the mass publication world, especially online magazines, that really doesn't mean more than Company A paying Company B for the right to use their name/image/likeness or put those little icons at the bottom of their website that says "Part of the NYTimes Family" or "As Seen In Cosmo!" -- all paid for and intended purposefully to cause people to presume a solid correlation.

Why this is important : From what I can find thus far, these two publications are owned, run and published by two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT companies. It appears -- though I could be incorrect -- that Newsweek Pakistan is a shit-hole operation run by a handful of people located in London -- the asshole from the Tweet above included.

Why I bothered looking/posting : #1. Coz FACTS MATTER . And #2: Coz whoever these people at Newsweek Pakistan are, the editor and founder of the magazine has been saying some sick shit on Twitter . He also has p osted and shared publicly a LOT of other names who may be people we should start looking into ...(these are all public in the inks I shared so no DOXing)

  • The well-known magazine Newsweek is published by IBT Media, formally IAC.

  • THIS rag is Newsweek Pakistan, published by AG Publications (Private) Limited , a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated Group (AG) . (See below for more details from their Facebook Page)

Company Overview: Newsweek Pakistan, published under license from Newsweek LLC , is the country’s highest circulation English-language newsweekly. Produced by AG Publications (Private) Limited , a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated Group (AG) , Newsweek Pakistan debuted in August 2010.

Newsweek Pakistan is edited by Fasih Ahmed —formerly of The Wall Street Journal and who won a 2008 New York Press Club Award for Newsweek International’s coverage of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination.

The newsmagazine’s Advisory Board comprises David Walters, former governor of Oklahoma ; Dr. Parvez Hassan , lawyer and environmentalist; Ayesha Jalal, historian and Tufts University professor ; Qazi Shaukat Fareed , who has worked with the U.N. in New York for over 20 years; and Hameed Haroon , publisher of Dawn newspaper. In 2013, AG Publications was also running, through London-based AG Castillo Media Limited (which has since been DISSOLVED and LIQUIDATED. )

More research needs to be done, and I will edit, add and/or correct as I confirm.

Vindicator

He also has posted and shared publicly a LOT of other names who may be people we should start looking into...(these are all public in the inks I shared so no DOXing)

Doxxing of non-Voat users is fine on Voat, as long as it's not sensitive financial info. If it's publically available, it's fair game. You won't be censored. Not okay: exposing the real life identity of fellow Voater.

Have at it!

HugoWeaving

Thanks Vin. Wanted to be sure rules were being followed.

GreenDell144

Thank you for the clarification. I was imagining a mob with torches and pitchforks closing in on Newsweek here in theUSA. It’s harder to imagine in Pakistan, but wait... anything is possible after the news we read from there today I guess.

f*cking pedo

wtf_is_happening

Hang on! What happened to the first, identical post of this tweet that I commented on about an hour ago?

WhatevsFloatsYerGoat

Newsweek offices were raided last week by Manhattan DA. He knows the game’s up and he’s drunk-tweeting. The wait must be agonizing.
