And wins praise from his parents and neighbors for doing so. For them, strict adherence to Islam overrides anything, even basic humanity. Unfortunately, this attitude prevails among multitudes in the Islamic world.
“Pakistani boy cuts off own hand after blasphemy mistake: police,” AFP, January 15, 2016:
LAHORE (PAKISTAN) (AFP) – A 15-year-old Pakistani boy cut off his own hand believing he had committed blasphemy, only to be celebrated by his parents and neighbours for the act, police told AFP Friday.
Local police chief Nausher Ahmed described how an imam told a gathering at a village mosque that those who love the Prophet Mohammad always say their prayers, then asked who among the crowd had stopped praying.
Mohammad Anwar, 15, raised his hand by mistake after apparently mishearing the question.
The crowd swiftly accused him of blasphemy so he went to his house and cut off the hand he had raised, put it on a plate, and presented it to the cleric, the police chief said.
The incident took place at a village in Hujra Shah Muqeem district, some 125 kilometres (77 miles) south of Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, about four days ago, according to the policeman.
Ahmed said that he has seen a video in which the boy is greeted by villagers in the street as his parents proclaim their pride.
No complaint has been made, he said, so no police report has been filed and there will be no investigation….

WOW
Thats insane
Im so glad we have Jesus
old white guy says
that gives a whole new meaning to insanity.
Lynn says
Stupid is as stupid does.
nothosaur says
It is insane. Jesus would never say anything about chopping off your own hand if it offends you. If he did, then it would certainly be a metaphor for chopping off something else.

I think you misunderstood me dude lol
I love Jesus

There is no epidemic of Christians cutting off hands. Not so with Islam:

E Ward says
Clearly, a metaphor.
Amy glass says
Islam is a derivative of Christianity and Judaism so there are many similar passages with abhorrent commands. The only difference is that most Christians ignore much of the old testament and figuratively reinterprete some troublesome passages in the New Testament (ex. Slavery passages) whereas Muslims neither have a New Testament nor do most of them take passages metaphorically. They believe very much that the instructions in the qur’an and Hadith are just as relevant and applicable today as they were in the 7th century. This causes our 21st century minds to view Islam as the barbaric doctrine that it is.
David Lagesse says
Mohammad was an illiterate Moon ‘worshipping’ heathen, who used oral accounts from the some of the Apocryphal books, and teachings of heretical ‘christian’ and ‘jewish’ sects, to flesh out his koran.
“Allah” was the Head god of the pagan Meccan pantheon of about 360 deities. How could the same “Allah” of pre-Mohammed, pagan Moon ‘worshipping’ Arabia ever possibly be the same “god” as the God of Israel and all Christianity?
Moreover, Moses forewarned his people – and Pharaoh – with verses before the events occurred while almost every single one of Muhammad’s ‘revelations’ occurred in hindsight, after the event and to explain away the reasons of actions taken – invariably illegal and immoral by all pre-Moslem standards – as ordered by him.
1. The koran was “revealed” to Mohammed, who was, as Moslems insist, illiterate and, therefore, unable to verify the accuracy of the scripts written for him by some volunteering scribes of no high standard. Trusting Mohammed with the koran is a greater blunder than trusting an illiterate person to edit New York Times. With a document as important as the koran, it would not be enough just to assume that the scribes were honest and trustworthy, especially that at least one of them, Abdulla Ibn Abi Al Sarh, admitted that he regularly made changes to the text of the koran without Mohammed even noticing! [1] [1. Ali Dashti, 23 years, a study of “Prophetic” career of Mohammed.]
2. Moslems claim that the koran was completely written during Mohammed’s life time, but there is no acceptable evidence to support such a claim. It is logical to believe that the koran was not properly written in the first thirteen years of Islam, while Mohammed was still in Mecca because he simply didn’t have the resources to do it. One would expect that writing down the koran might have been Mohammed’s first priority after he assumed power in Medina, but he was too busy in wars to think of it.

Your statement indicates you know nothing of the Christian faith, therefore you should not speak about something you know nothing of. It embarrasses you and everyone around you.
abad says
Wrong.
Islam has NOTHING in common with Christianity.
They don’t even worship the same God as Christians do.
Islam recognizes Satan for its deity.
Surah 3:54, 8:30
Jeff Dunsbar says
Of course there are similarities, don’t kid yourself. Do you want to be taken seriously?
Arthur says
Read a little deeper into the Islamic texts, Amy glass. I think you’ll find that Mohammed laid claim to being a prophet of Abraham in order to win himself standing and followers. However, Mohammed’s second-hand lack of understanding of Judaism or Christianity, not surprising since Mohammed could not read or write, led to lots of discrepancies with written Jewish and Christian scripture. In his time, Mohammed couldn’t convince Jews and Christians that we was a prophet, and he really isn’t any more convincing of it today. He was a phony, not very good at it, and really didn’t meet any success until he became a violent warlord.

Mo says
@ Amy glass
“Islam is a derivative of Christianity and Judaism so there are many similar passages with abhorrent commands.”
Nonsense.
You’ve never read the Bible or the Quran, much less compared the two. How do I know that? Because if you had, you wouldn’t be saying something so silly.
The Bible has ZERO open ended commands for either Jews or Christians to commit violence against unbelievers. That is why there are ZERO Jews or Christians committing such acts, all over the world, on a regular basis, in obedience to those open ended commands.

The really troubling thing about this story is the extraordinary depths of which Islam has percolated into their society.
Someone that is willing to sever his own hand will have no hesitation to kill the infidel and martyr themselves in doing so.
Jay Boo says
It is not easy for Muslims to continually prop up Allah’s shaky credibility when they have someone as despicable as Muhammad as their example to follow.
Islam is such a dirty religion.
mortimer says
The boy is wrong. Amputation is not enough of a punishment.
-“Insulting the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is one of the worst of forbidden actions… whether done seriously or in jest. The one who does that is to be EXECUTED even if he repents and whether he is a Muslim or a kaafir.” – Ruling on one who insults the Prophet, Shaykh al Munajid, Islam Q&A, Fatwa No. 22809
nothosaur says
“whether done seriously or in jest”
But, he did not insult Mo seriously. And, he did not insult Mo in jest. He accidentally raised his hand, after mishearing the question. That does not qualify as seriously answering the question that was posed, and it does not qualify as jokingly answering the question that was posed.
So, the Quran does not command execution for his “offense”.
Also, cutting off the hand is for thieves, according to Mo’s guidebook of insanity. The boy did not commit theft.
So, it appears that he improvised his own punishment. He was perhaps trying to score brownie points with the imam.
gravenimage says

It appears he succeeded. He also may have been trying to ward off being murdered by the mob or by his own family–a not uncommon occurrence.
In addition, it is likely that this boy was convinced that he really had “blasphemed”.
Insanity and insanity.
Mo says
Ugh, this is horrifying!
Islam has NO place in any civilized society! How many more examples do we need?! Label it a dangerous cult and/or a political ideology instead of a religion and ban it already! Enough is enough!
How much more of this barbarism are we going to “tolerate”?!
Michael Copeland says

Angelique says
That’s right. The body count, as well as the body-parts-count, has no limit. Islam will be tolerated by Leftists to the bitter end because THEIR religion, which is self-loathing and delusional multiculturalism, is more important to them than their own miserable lives.
John Thomas says
In future he’ll only have one hand to pull the trigger should he be ‘jihadi minded’. Let’s hope he doesn’t commit blasphemy again, then he will have problems. And the third time?

Yeah, it will be like Monty Python’s the Holy Grail.

Westman says
Cutting off your own hand reminds me of something in a movie, “Stupid is as stupid does….”. And parents who are proud of it are pathologically unstable. Such minds would have no aversion to killing Infidels.
I’ve thought of every alternative to why a bright mind would accept Islam with it’s barbarity, it’s institutionalizing the subjugation of women, it’s control of body and thought, it’s death sentence for apostates who were compelled to join as children, and it’s reduction of Infidels to the value of cattle.
A simple conclusion could be that the majority of the Muslims from traditional muslim countries are not very bright; punctuated by some brighter leaders and representatives that have found the levers of political power within the religion and remain for the social and economic advantages.
One comes to the question of whether Islam formed what we see as the Muslim Culture or did the existing brain functioning of Arabs create Islam in it’s own image via the real or fabricated Muhammad? Could this explain why Persians(Iranians) must be forced and punished more than other ME muslims to remain orthodox?
Will the frustrations of migrants living in a more complex culture result in the annual Paris car burnings spreading to other European countries, will it be safe on the streets for women, will the EU have an economic crisis and breakup, and will “taharrush” become a normal New Year’s frolic? It should be an interesting year.
gravenimage says
With all respect, this isn’t about “Arabs”, Westman–Arab Christians are not insane like this.
And it is not just Iranians who are non-Arab Muslims–the same is true of Pakistanis, as well, where this story took place.
Genetically, Muslim Pakistanis are little different from Hindu Indians–a much saner cohort.
This is about the unhinged ideology of Islam–not about genetics.
TheOldOligarch says
What’s to wonder about? Rape and pillage are fun, see history.
Leaving aside the theological absurdities of Islam, it should be no conundrum whatever to see why a religion that gives divine sanction to the basest desires in man, for conquest, plunder, and rapine and makes promises at every turn to his sexual appetites, should have such a draw on the human mind.
rooare says
A very correct analysis of Islam’s draw. Of course those that believe mankind is basically good will strongly disagree.
Blurb1000 says
This boy misunderstandands Islam. Islam dos not say hand, it says HEAD.

Jay Boo says
This is just a prelude.
As soon as these boys put on their very first Islamic MAN-DRESS, it’s on baby.
They begin on a downward spiral of Koran induced violence attempting to prove their manhood.
If only, Muslim men would just leave their damn Islamic man-dresses where they belong.

More evidence that islamic-ruled places is where critical thinking goes to die. I taught for several years in a school where the overwhelming majority of students came from the dregs of society, and I can assure you that none of them would have taken an accusation of that nature (doing something they knew others would consider abhorrent) in silence, regardless whether they did it or not. What does a 15-year-old in a muslim majority society do? Well, listen and believe, that’s what. No wonder leftists and feminists feel such an affinity for islam:

Xero_G says
The boy was likely fearful for his life. Removing his hand was an attempt to “prove” he was a good Muslim and that the DEATH sentence for blasphemy should be forgiven by this barbaric act of “repent”. Lose a hand, save your life, not a bad deal.

Quite likely that this was part of his motivation.

Note:
it was an ” accidentally blasphemy”
That really says a lot about just how unbelievably petty and pathetically insecure Allah must be in Muslims eyes. Even though it was an accident Allah is still expected to be pissed.

Salaam all,
I have to say that I had the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I read this article… I mean it blew me away.
I thought that my dua was pure …but this boy ….he shows *true* love and devotion to Allah SWT. he did not hurt anyone else in the process…did not incur any hospital bills and got roundly praised…
Lahore is my childhood home town and indeed one of the most progressive towns in Pakistan….and yet there are peoples there who can bring back the magic of the 7th century into the modern era.
This boy is not portraying love for the sunni arab (like so many docile Pakistani Muslims who are considered a lower class of muslim than the stupid arab)…no this boy cut all the crap between him and the God…no ISA PBUH, no Musa RA, …just straight to Allah SWT….direct connection…connected.
Compare this to the average 15 year old christian kaffir – no balls, no charisma, no gumption, no spirit …just looking for his next fu*ck…what an absolute waste of space and oxygen they are.
Once he had got home from the sermon …he would have have felt disgusted with himself…he would have looked at his hand…gone to the mirror …and used that to slap himself in the face …over and over …with tears streaming …but he would have physicked himself up …Allahu Akbar …Allahu Akbar.
Ensuring that nobody was at home …he made that hand work hard …really sharpen that meat cleaver …test it on wood… and crying and chanting..placing his soiled hand carefully…raising the meat cleaver and….oh it’s too painful …I cannot write any more……
More Later …

Huh, he chopped his hand because someone called him a blasphemer because of a misunderstanding. No allah involved.
“Compare this to the average 15 year old christian kaffir – no balls, no charisma, no gumption, no spirit …just looking for his next fu*ck…what an absolute waste of space and oxygen they are.”
Even if 15-year-old Christians are only looking for the enxt booty call, they don’t force themselves on others. You know, like your coreligionists did in the UK. And Germany. And Sweden. And pretty much everywhere.

You primitive twit: *THIS IS PURE IDOLATRY: BLAMING THE TOOL, NOT THE DESIRES!*
AND SO “PROGRESSIVE” LIBERALS SHOULD LOVE IT! After all, they always blame the guns, not the humans!
But taking it to its logical (HAH!) conclusion, since “allah” really only always did it anyway, they should amputate their relationship to “him” whenever he makes them do something which offends “him!”
You morons love islam because it’s the perfect excuse for you to avoid all self-responsibility – in islam, there is no free-will conscious choice or guilt, ever! It’s always “allah’s” fault!
But when your god is generally really only “Everything!” (and dividing his nature is the worst and only “sin”) then he is also specifically only Nothing! Existentialism IS Nihilism, and you are really all atheists!
Jay Boo says
Rezali is not being honest
The boy had no other choice but to cut off his hand to appease other Muslims who would have gladly cut off his head hoping to score some piety kiss-ass points with Allah.
Carolyne says
While cutting off one’s own hand to appease Allah is very, very Islamic, I doubt it is physically possible to do it alone. There is an artery in the wrist which would bleed out and cause death without a tourniquet, which I think would be difficult to apply with one hand. Also, placing the detached hand on a platter would present a problem as well as the physical pain caused by the severing. I don’t believe the story. I think this psychotic kid had some help in detaching his digits.

“if thine eye offends thee then pluck it out”
summat like that, in the Bible.
But it is the perception, and not the eye, that should be plucked.
So it is not the hand that blasphemed but his mind, mistaking a word? So pluck out the mind.
The mind can’t be plucked out by the mind, but the mistake can be plucked out, which is the cause of the blasphemy, apart from the peers mind pressure.
So pluck out the Religion and be free.
Islam is the whole cause behind the boy’s self mutilation. But what is the cause of Islam?
Madness. Karma. Jealousy, sexual addiction. Greed. Etc etc etc.
Ain’t no sense nowhere.

Upon further thought, I am finding this story hard to believe.
Even if the boy cut off his own hand in one stroke of a sharp blade, how did he not 1) faint, and 2) bleed to death? Even if he’s seen this done plenty of times (which he probably has, the poor kid) how could he get a tourniquet on by himself, using only one hand? And while being in that level of pain?
If this account is true at all, then he did not do this alone. It’s impossible!
