Pakistan: 15 Christians held under blasphemy law

Sep 6, 2014 6:20 pm By Robert Spencer

pakistanblasphemy“Condemning the registration of case, a rights group alleged that ‘fake’ blasphemy case was filed against them on the pressure of the cleric and Muslims as they did not want the land allocated to Christians.” The Pakistani blasphemy laws are the cause of a huge number of human rights abuses and ruined lives. But the “human rights” organizations can’t be bothered to do anything about them. After all, it isn’t as if “Islamophobia” is being committed.

“15 Christians held in Pakistan under blasphemy law,” Associated Press, September 6, 2014:

Pakistani police have arrested 15 Christians and booked 45 other members of the minority community under the controversial blasphemy law for allegedly desecrating Muslim graves in a village in Punjab province, sparking tension in the area.

The case was registered after a local cleric filed a complaint alleging that the Christians had desecrated over 400 Muslim graves to occupy the land in Chak village in Faisalabad, about 150 kilometres from Lahore. Condemning the registration of case, a rights group alleged that “fake” blasphemy case was filed against them on the pressure of the cleric and Muslims as they did not want the land allocated to Christians.

        Yes it does bother them and that is why at their protests in the US/UK and wherever you will see signs that say “Sharia will dominate”, and “Freedom go to Hell”

      The Christians will likely be convicted of “Blaspheme” and
      executed/murdered. Obama will likely send them 500 million
      for their good work.

    They are acting just like thieving Muhammad in Medina.

    Isn’t the hiding of theft in the name of Allah a form of blasphemy?
    Have Muslims no shame just like Muhammad?
    No wonder Muslims feel an urgent need to add PBUH to Muhammad.
    It is like lowering a toilet seat lid to hide the nasty bowl / PBUH the bowl of Islam.

      This gambit, accusation of “Blaspheme”-conviction-property grab”
      Is as old as Islam. It has been used for 1,400 years to take everything from
      so called “Infidels”. It is cowardly but much easier than War. A Kangaroo
      Court Imam will find them guilty, the accused will be executed, their
      Families run off at knife-point, and their properties confiscated by Muslims.
      A variation of “Strong-Arm Extortion” by which Islam thrives.

        And, even if they are exonerated by the court (which is unlikely, but possible), they’ll probably be lynched or assassinated by a gang of ululating, foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics who are *outraged* that the judge honestly admitted that the charges seemed spurious, and there simply was a reasonable doubt as to their (the alleged blasphemers’) guilt.

        Very true, kikorikid and bernie.

        Just an accusation of “blasphemy” can be a death sentence.

    Does this blasphemy law apply to Muslims who say terrible things about Jews, Christians and Hindus?

    Shhhhh, don’t tell McManus and Longenecker. Getting this news might upset their interfaith dialoguing.

    The RCC is so poorly led.

    Same story different page.
    If you have money and want islamic jihadis who hold no value to this life then you need look no further than Pakistan.
    Islam is blasphemy.
    All muslims are blasphemous.
    Blasphemy is what all muslims do daily in their worship of a false God and their idolization of a false prophet.
    And that is why they will all end up as pigs and monkeys.
    Muhammad was warned and he chose to lie to his followers and tell tall stories about turning Jews into ape’s and swine.
    HE lied.

    An ordinary criminal will merely premeditate and rationalize away guilt just before the crime.

    But a Muslim has no other choice but to ‘pray’ five times every single day.

    That tells us just how truly despicable Islam is.

    a blanket blasphemy case at that..
    just accuse the whole community because of where their houses are.

    i wonder whats next.

    “Repeal Blasphemy Laws”?

    Isn’t that blasphemous?

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 9, 2014 at 11:58 pm

      Yes, it is. People have been murdered for suggesting a *review* of blasphemy laws in Pakistan.

    Sep 7, 2014 at 9:36 pm

    we need to get serious with the Pakis, listen, either overturn the Blasphemy laws or you do not get another penny from us, PERIOD! Not a fucking penny!

    Clearly the US and the west does not give Pakistan enough money (only many billions of dollars USD a year) to do anything other than house and protect OBL and build more mosques that are nothing more than jihadist terror mills, cranking out violent murderous jihadists Hell bent on destroying America, Israel, and the West. No good deed ever goes unpunished!
