Pakistan: Police arrest Muslim cleric for inciting boy to cut off his own hand

Jan 17, 2016 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

His family praised him for cutting off his own hand. Will they be arrested as well? The attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs that led to this barbarity go much deeper than this one cleric.

Reading Quran

“Police arrest cleric for ‘inciting’ boy to cut off his hand,” Pakistan Today, January 16, 2016:

Police on Saturday arrested the cleric of a mosque in Okara district on terror charges in connection with an incident involving a 15-year-old boy who had cut off his own hand believing he had committed blasphemy.

An FIR was registered against prayer leader Shabbir Ahmed Friday night on behalf of the state under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and Section 324 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

The cleric was arrested under the National Action Plan (NAP) for inciting violence through his speech, police officials said.

They added that the allegations of the cleric led to the boy’s heinous act, as he felt ashamed and dejected after being called a blasphemer.

Members of the crowd, the cleric had delivered his speech to, said they were aware the boy had not committed blasphemy and that he was the victim of a misunderstanding.

The 15-year-old boy however maintained that the cleric was blameless while his act was reportedly celebrated by his parents and neighbours.

The cleric, some six days ago, addressing a Mehfil-i-Milad at a village mosque in Chak 3D of Hujra Shah Muqeem town in Depalpur Tehsil, said that “those who love Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) always say their prayers”.

He then asked his audience “Who does not love the Prophet (PBUH)?” The cleric asked, “Raise your hand.” The child misheard the question and raised his hand. The imam then pointed to the youth and alleged he was a “blasphemer and was liable to be killed”.

    …………………………

    Is Islamic hellhole Pakistan pretending to be civilized for a moment here? Don’t expect anything to come of it…

    Thoroughly brainwashed. Also, possibly inbred.

    This sounds like an SNL skit, honestly. Or maybe Monty Python, I don’t know. The kid mishears the question and mistakenly raises his hand. The imam immediately accuses him of blasphemy and says he is liable to death. A fifteen year old child, mind you. Then the kid cuts off his own hand, to the plaudits of his parents and ‘the crowd’. And now the imam is being arrested. I mean, you just can’t make this sh*t up. What a completely insane and backward society is Pakistan. And every truly Muslim society.

    “was liable to be killed”

    So why cut of his hand?

      He’s a beginner, had to start easy. He can work his way up to death after a few amputations.

    If Pakistani Muslims do this to Pakistani Muslims,imagine what they do to Pakistani Hindus and Pakistani Christians.

      It must be hell for religious minorities there.

      This is the type of indoctrination that Muslims wish to import to children in the West.

    What??? This is stunning. The Pakistani police are doing the decent thing? Usually they are eager Islamist enforcers. It remains to be seen if the rest of the justice system can follow through. We’ll see.

    Allah is a sad joke told by an evil Buffoon from Mecca.
    The Koran is not even worthy of use as toilet paper.

        The Koran’s too filthy to use as TP.

    I question the veracity of this story.

    He went home, cut off one of his hands with the other, and took it–on a plate–to the cleric.

    No blood all over the place? No tourniquet? No nearly immediate unconsciousness and death due to shock and massive blood loss? No one else at home to see and hear the event taking place? No villagers saw (or came to the aid of) this now one handed, no doubt screaming in pain, bloodied kid carrying his severed hand on a plate–with his remaining hand–from his house to the mosque?

    Uh, huh.

    • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

      Jan 17, 2016 at 10:18 pm

      You are so right PR; this is utterly absurd.

      The lowlife imam (excuse the redundancy) cut off the kid’s hand and the psycho muslims (again-I beg pardon) love it.

      Like these subhumans ever do anything decent. Yeah right.

    • Westman says

      Jan 18, 2016 at 1:46 am

      I agree. The forces required, the pain, and the blood loss would prevent self-amputation. Someone else was involved. Whatever the actual story, this illustrates that the Cleric and this Mosque crowd are stupid as a bag of hammers and totally bereft of any real morals or human compassion.

      But then, they are slaves to Allah, who, like a barbaric dictator, must tell them through Muhammad that he is merciful and just, because no such evidence exists. To quote Mose Allison song, his followers are crying Mercy, when they don’t know the meaning of the word.

        Jan 18, 2016 at 3:25 pm

        Well, exactly West.

        Then they’ve got the ultimate card up their sleeve: YOU GET KILLED IF YOU BAIL. Now that’s good thinking!

    Too late. This sort of rubbish is a regular occurrence in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
