Pakistan: Muslim blasphemers pardoned; Christian blasphemers put to death

May 17, 2014 6:35 am By Robert Spencer

pakistanblasphemyThis double standard is not surprising. After all, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another and harsh to disbelievers” (48:29). Someone who believes that to be holy writ may indeed be more inclined to pardon a Muslim accused of blasphemy than a Christian accused of the same crime.

“Muslim blasphemer Pardoned while death for Christian accused of blasphemy in Pakistan,” Pakistan Christian Post, May 16, 2014 (spelling and grammar as in original):

Karachi: May 16, 2014. (PCP) Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC has expressed concerns on double standards of implementation of Blasphemy law on citizens of Pakistan because when any Muslim commits blasphemy on electronic media watched by millions then he is pardoned after a simple apology note but when a Christian or Ahmadiyyia community member is accused of blasphemy by one Muslim wittiness then he faces death sentence weather he sworn that he not defiled name of Holy Prophet of Muslims.

“All Christian victims of blasphemy laws after arrests have publically denied committing blasphemy but not any court or complainant have pardoned them but when a Muslim cleric or any Muslim very openly defiles name of Prophet Mohammad then uproar of Islamic decrees appear to Pardon these Muslims” said Dr. Nazir Bhatti

Nazir Bhatti was commenting here today on a morning show of GEO TV in which a lady host of show commits blasphemy along with many other Muslim participants which is witnessed by millions of viewers but no FIR is lodged but Muslim clerics issue decree that after apology of lady show host the registration of case under blasphemy law is not necessary; While when a Christian mother of five Asia Bibi is accused of blasphemy by her Muslim co-workers, she is tortured and arrested instead of her statement that “She not uttered any word to defile Prophet Mohammad but no one comes forward to Pardon her”

It is on record that all Christian victim of blasphemy were arrested on complains of only one Muslim after any personal dispute or any argument which put them behind bars for years.

Nazir Bhatti said “Christian colonies were set on fire, Christians were burnt alive, Christian were brutally murdered in court compounds, Christians were gunned downed and Christian worship places were attacked by Muslim mob on pretext to blasphemy while none of Muslim blasphemer was ever arrested in Pakistan”

PCC Chief demanded immediate release of Asia Bibi, Sawan Masih, Shagufta Kasur and Shafqat Emmanuel who are sentenced to death under accusations of blasphemy and dozens of other Christians and Ahmadiyyia victims of blasphemy who are in jails waiting for trials may be pardoned when submit written apologies like Geo TV Muslim artists are pardoned.

Nazir Bhatti also urged Muslim clerics to issue decree that if Christian victim of blasphemy submit apologies they may also be pardoned and released from jails.

    I’m curious as to why that banner is in English?

      The banner must be intended to wake up those in the West who foolishly rely on BBC television for news.

      Probably because English is the official language of Pakiland, although Urdu is the national language.

    Mahommedans punishing christians instead of other mahommedans. Standard islamic theology:

    “..but when a Muslim cleric or any Muslim very openly defiles name of Prophet Mohammad then..”

    I like this part of the article!
    More and more Muslims, including clerics, are starting to openly criticize Islam and the founder of Islam. They may face trials and jail time, they may retract and get a pardon. It doesn’t really matter. The fact still remains; they are getting louder and louder, and they are growing in numbers.

    How are Mahometans in Pakistan different than Mahometans in America? How can Mahometans possibly comprehend “equality before the law”? Their adherence to Shiria makes any expectation that they can get onboard with moral law very unlikely. What are we doing with Islam in our midst? They do not integrate. Look at anywhere they live; they can’t leave infidels alone, they can’t leave anyone alone, they have no comprehension of personal sovereignty or free choice. (These facts make me really curious about the Mahometans in the White House; how do they relate to the rest of the infidel staffers? I’d like to know. )

    Best thing happening: Many millions of Muslims are converting to Christianity. Please pray for these people. Please partition the Lord in their behalf because they were taught so wrongly as youths. They need special consideration. Ask Jesus to appear to them: To reveal himself to them. As he has to so many.

    On the web type in “Muslims converting to Christianity.” There are many videos.

    With respect to dhimmis, this from the multi-times-awarded-recipient of an ijaza–one certified as qualified to teach others, in this case, teach Islam.

    The follow clarifications from one regarded as “Imam of his time in hadith and its sciences….. scholar of tafsir and its sciences … faqih in usul, thus, an expert in Islamic legal theory, methodology, and in the application of Shariah; one who, clearly, fully grasped the stated and intended meaning of the Arabic texts, thus, disclosed just that in his literary works and more, the thus qualified Qadi Iyad.

    Here speaking to “the judgement [sic] on a dhimmi who curses Allah”: “There is no difference in the way they are treated between whether they curse Allah or curse His Prophet.” (Ash-Shifa, P. 435.)

    Hence, we regard both, that counted as “cursing” Allah or his prophet as well as the Qur’anic punishment for those guilty of such:

    “Know that all who curse Muhammad, may Allah bless and grant him peace, or blame him or attribute imperfection to him in his person, his linage, his deen or any of his qualities, or alludes to that or its like by any means whatsoever, whether in the form of a curse or contempt or belittling him or detracting from him or finding fault with him or maligning him, the judgment regarding such a person is the same as the judgment against anyone who curses him. He is killed. (ibid, P. 373.)

    We regard this:

    Malik in The Book of Ibn Habib and al-Mabsut, and Ibn al-Qasim in al-Mabsut and the Book of Muhammad, and Ibn Sahnun all say, “Any Jew of Christian who reviles Allah in any way other than what constitutes part of their belief is killed without being asked to repent.” Ibn al-Qasim added, “unless he becomes a Muslim.” He said in al-Mabsut, “voluntarily.”
    ……..
    Ibn al-Qasin said in the Book of Muhammad, “Anyone among other religions who reviles Allah in any other way than the way He is mentioned in his Book is killed unless he becomes Muslim.”
    ……..
    Mutarrif and ‘Abdu ‘l-Malik said something similar to what Malik said. Abu Mujhammad ibn Abi Zayd said that whosoever curses Allah in any way other than by which he normally disbelieves is killed unless he becomes a Muslim.
    ……..
    ‘Ubaydullah ibn Yahya al-Laythi and Ibn Lubaba and a group of our Andalusian comrades of the past gave a fatwa to kill a Christian woman who openly denied Allah and that Isa was Allah’s Prophet and rejected Muhammad as a Prophet, but stated that if she wanted to become a Muslim they should accept that and it would remove the sentence of execution.
    ………
    Ash-Shifi ‘I said that an apostate is asked to repent once. If he does not repent then he is killed. Al-Muzani approved of that. As-Zuhri said that he is called to Islam three times. If he refuses, he is killed.
    ……….
    The Book of Muhammad from ibn al-Qasim says that the apostate is called to Islam three times. If he refuses, his head is cut off.
    ……..
    As for the dhimmi who curses the Prophet, says that he is not a Prophet, was not sent by Allah or the Qur’an was not sent down upon him or that it is something he made up, he is killed.
    …….
    Ibn Habib said, “I do not know anyone who says anything else.” (Ash-Shifa, P.P. 435, 434, 412, 406, 410, 435.)

    And the same source thus provides that the scholar of Toledo, ibn Hatim, was killed, “crucified” because “he made light of what was due to the Prophet …. Called him ‘the orphan’ and the ‘the in-law of the lion (i.e. ‘Ali). (Ibid, P. 375.)

    Same source relates, a poet named, Ibrahim al-Ghazari , he too, “accused of objectionable things like mocking Allah … and our Prophet,” summoned to Qayrawan fuqaha, there, the order issued for him to be killed and crucified. Thus straightway, “he was stabbed and crucified upside down. Then he was brought down and burned.” (ibid, P. 376.)

    His crime? Once more, failure to show respect to the prophet.

    Obviously, ibn Habib–cited above (Ibn Habib said, “I do not know anyone who says anything else”), with respect to the above rulings–had never met the “Moderate” Muslims of the 21st century.

    They (21st Century Muslims), tossing aside these teachings, so too the very words of their prophet, “Whoever disagrees with the community by the length of a hand has cast off the rope of Islam,” with a kinder and gentler Islam, one absent the use of violence, terrorism, and all traces of “the sword,” they defy their predecessors.

    Hence, trite, obsolete, flaccid this assertion–the stated consensus–of the aforementioned men of knowledge in Islam: “Anyone who disagrees with the consensus is an unbeliever.” (Ibid, P. 430.)

    Trite, obsolete, flaccid the following:

    (Lo! Those who disbelieve) In Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur’an, (among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters) i.e. the idolaters among the people of Mecca, (will abide in the fire of hell) never to die therein or leave it. (They are the worst of created beings.[sic]

    (Tanwir al-Migbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas, Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur’an, Translated by Mokrane Guezou, Royal Aal-Bayt Institution for Islamic Thought, FONX VITAE, 2008. . Surah 98: 6 [Qur’anic text parenthesized, Tafsir provided elucidations follow the parenthesized stated text] .)

    And the same of this amplification of that verse provided by the Prophet, provided in Ash-Shifa: “The Prophet called the Khawarij ‘the worst of people.’ This is the quality of the unbelievers. He said, ‘An evil tribe under the sky. Blessing for the one who kills them or the one whom they kill.’”

    Qadi Iyad adds, “He (the prophet) said, “ When you find them, kill them as you would kill an enemy.”(ash-Shifa, P. 421, 422 respectively.)

    Hence this 21st-Century-Muslim meaningless hadith:

    Abu Ghalib said: “Abu Umamaah saw heads (of the Khawarij) hanging on the streets of Damascus. He said: “The dogs of the Fire and the worst dead people under the canopy of the heavens The best dead men are those whom these have killed…. I said to Abu Umamah: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah?” He said: If I had not heard it but one time, or two times, or three times, or four times –until he reached seven—I would not have narrated it to you.’” (Hasan.)

    (Jami At-Tirmidhi, Compiled by: Imam Hafiz Abu ‘Eisa Mohammad Ibn ‘Eisa At-
    Tirmidhi, Translated by: Abu Khaliyl (USA), Ahadith edited and referenced by” Hafiz Abu Tahir Zubair ‘Ali Za’i, Final Review by: Islamic Research Section, Darussalam, First Edition, 2007. Vol. 5. Chapters of the Tafsir of Qur’an, P. 317, #3000.)

    This is Islam.
