From the Daily Times of Pakistan via the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
Lahore, May 25: Samuel, a blasphemy suspect, is in critical condition at General Hospital after a police constable hit him on his head with a brick cutter on the morning of May 22.Constable Faryad, who attacked Samuel, was sent to jail after a case was registered against him.
Even though the case has been brought into the open, the authorities are still trying to keep the whole matter a secret. The Punjab Home Department has banned visitors to the hospital’s ward No 18, where Samuel is being treated. The police refused to show a copy of the FIR and discuss more details. The hospital staff was also reluctant to speak.
HRCP led a fact-finding into the incident. A police officer told the team that Faryad appeared calm after trying to kill Samuel but realized he had done something ugly the next day.
The team described the case as horrific, lacking education, awareness, sensibility and understanding and the result of a clear misuse of the blasphemy law.
Samuel alias Nadeem, the son of a man named Emanuel from Saidan Shah near Upper Mall Lahore, had been charged with blasphemy under Section 295 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Chaudhry Muhammad Yaqoob, librarian of the Darul Islam Lawrence Garden, Lahore, registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Samuel, accusing him of throwing waste by the wall of a mosque near the library.
Ok, so peeing and farting in the mosk is ok, but littering around it is death? Hmmm. Strange laws those muzzies have.
Committing murder, storing weapons, and shooting people while in the mosque is fine, throwing waste by its wall will get you whacked. Okay, gotcha.
What do they do with all of the shell casings that fall on the ground from when they are firing their guns and hiding in the mosque at the same time?
Alaska said "What do they do with all of the shell casings that fall on the ground from when they are firing their guns and hiding in the mosque at the same time?"
Those spent shell casings are not waste, they have been martyred and hence have gone on to their reward, 72 unfired gun barrels in heaven?...
It seems as though islam is a very convenient religion that is able to interpret the koran differently ever time they open it up.
