Pakistan: Muslims murder Hindu teen after tension over burnt Qur’an

Jul 29, 2016 10:26 am By Robert Spencer

Why would anyone in Pakistan ever want to burn a Qur’an, knowing that he would almost certainly be killed if caught? Either these incidents are fabricated by Muslims as pretexts to kill non-Muslims, or the resentment against Islam runs so high in Pakistan, because of Sharia oppression of non-Muslims, that the non-Muslims lash out despite the risks.

burnt quran

“Hindu teenager shot dead in Pakistan, after tension over burnt Koran,” AFP, July 28, 2016:

Unknown gunmen have shot dead a Hindu teenager in a southern Pakistani town, police said, after a burnt Koran prompted days of religious tension in the area. Police were patrolling the streets in Ghotki, around 420 kilometers (250 miles) north of Karachi in Sindh province, in an effort to halt any potential unrest, authorities said on Thursday.

“Unknown gunmen yesterday [Wednesday] shot dead an 18-year-old Hindu boy and wounded another,” senior police official Masood Bangash told AFP.

Mr. Bangash said another Hindu man was arrested in the town four days earlier after burnt copies of Islam’s holy book were found at the local mosque.

Extremely strict blasphemy laws

Pakistan has extremely strict laws against blasphemy, including the death penalty for insulting the Prophet Mohammed. Even unfounded rumours can stir mob lynchings and violence.

“So far no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting and it is too early to link the killing of Hindu teenager with the Koran burning incident,” he added.

Mr. Bangash said that after several days of tension, markets have reopened and city life had returned to normal, but police were patrolling in the area….

    Hillary will reach out to the killers. they get special fast track immigration status to the USA.

    The Democrats need to INCREASE the crazy Muslims coming into the country to destabilize it faster than the population can react.

    The last thing they want is a slow process of integration with pauses or reflection on how it’s working out.

    They need to open the borders and overrun society in one swoop before the population can figure out we are headed back to the stone ages.

    Obama and Hillary will quickly defend Muslims and say Muslims were (provoked) by the Hindu teenager.

    Muslims always kill. They always want blood sacrifice. It’s like the ancient Mayans, or Aztecs, or the ancient Romans. They have no other atonement for sin. But somehow the Jews seem to get around it…

    These mobs rush out onto the street foaming at the mouth like a pack of mad dogs to defend “Allah”. What kind of a weak god is allah that he needs mere mortals to defend him? Has he no power to defend himself?

    Qurans should be burnt by the thousands and the pages distributed far and wide until the Muslims exhaust themselves from maintaining the frenzy. They should be dropped from drones all over Pakistan, along with cartoons of Muhammad, and over all the other countries like Indonesia where similar mobs are also found. These Muslims gotta learn “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names (and burnt Qurans and Muhammad cartoons) will never hurt me”.

    An article in the Pakistan Christian Post IDs the arrested Hindu and states that he is mentally ill.

      This is Pakistan, which means the Muslims as likely burned it themselves to settle a score or stir up a mob. In any case, burning a Qur’an in a place like Pakistan, would be an act of highly courageous resistance and sanity. Not insanity.

    Islam ordered death for three crime(murder,adultery(married person) and fighting)

    Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 134
    …………… “I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and His Apostle.” …………..
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 37
    “By Allah, Allah’s Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle, and deserted Islam and became an apostate.”
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 6
    Narrated ‘Abdullah:
    The Prophet said, “No human being is killed unjustly, but a part of responsibility for the crime is laid on the first son of Adam who invented the tradition of killing (murdering) on the earth. (It is said that he was Qabil).

    BURNING QURAN NOT A CRIME FOR DEATH PENALTY.

    WHAT ARE THE CHARACTER OF PEOPLE WHO BURNING QURAN/MAKING PROPHET MOVIES/CARTOON ?
    some brain dead zombies/cowards are failed with criticizing Islam with Muslim with quran and hadith,they know they can’t defeat Islam with leagal ways, now they want to show their hate of Islam in-front of Muslim ,that ways they doing like that ,we muslim ever burn any religious scripture ,we respect scripture and ever make cartoon /movie for religious respected person, my advice to them plz go to the nearest mental hospital and get the shock treatment, or if u don’t like to live this world with Muslim plz create u’r own universe and live there,this universe for allha and his creation,u ppl nothing to create even an atom ,u r using allha’s nature, how dare/right r u to criticize religion of my almighty god?
    ACTUALLY BURNING QURAN RESPECT THE QURAN(THESE BRAIN DEAD ZOMBIES DON’T KNOW THESE):
    Most Islamic scholars agree that burning old copies of the Quran, in a respectful manner in a clean place, is acceptable as a last resort. In this case, one must ensure that the burning is complete, meaning that no words are left legible and the pages have been fully destroyed. At no time should a Quran be burned with the regular trash. Some add that the ashes should then be buried or scattered in running water (see above).

    The permission for this practice comes from early Muslims, at the time of Caliph Uthman bin Affan. After the official, agreed-upon version of the Quran had been compiled in a consistent dialect of Arabic, the official version was copied while the old or nonconforming Qurans were burned respectfully.

      ……………………………….

      And that is *exactly* how charges of burning a Qur’an are regarded–as “waging war again Allah and his Apostle”. The repulsive sham is condoning this savagery.

      More:

      Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 37

      ……………………………….

      And here he makes it clear that those accused of adultery and those who dare leave the foul creed of Islam can be murdered with impunity. *Ugh*.

      More:

      BURNING QURAN NOT A CRIME FOR DEATH PENALTY.
      ……………………………….

      Notice sham has no citations for this–nor does he explain why his pious fellow Muslims thought they could murder this Hindu youth after claiming he burned a Qur’an. If sham *really* believed that this was wrong, why wouldn’t he take it up with them, instead of lying to the good Infidels here at Jihad Watch?

      some brain dead zombies/cowards are failed with criticizing Islam with Muslim with quran and hadith,they know they can’t defeat Islam with leagal (sic) ways
      ……………………………….

      Of course, burning a Qur’an is *not* illegal in the civilized world, anymore than is burning any other religious scripture. But Muslims like sham would *love* to impose Shari’ah here.

      And further–he wants to make *any* criticism of Islam and the foul “Prophet”–who was a warlord, caravan-raider, pedophile, slaver, rapist, and mass-murderer–to be illegal, as well.

      More:

      …now they want to show their hate of Islam in-front of Muslim ,that ways they doing like that ,we muslim ever burn any religious scripture ,we respect scripture and ever make cartoon /movie for religious respected person,
      ……………………………….

      What claptrap. Muslims regularly destroy Bibles and other non-Muslim holy books–and not just in protest–they destroy the property of Infidels themselves. No Kuffar is allowed to bring non-Muslim texts into places like Saudi Arabia.

      And no Muslim respects any non-Muslim religious figures. This is probably a reference to Islam having appropriated Jewish prophets and Jesus, and now claim this figures were actually all Muslims. The Islamic “Jesus”–really, “Isa”–has *nothing* in common with the Jesus of the Gospels.

      More:

      my advice to them plz go to the nearest mental hospital and get the shock treatment, or if u don’t like to live this world with Muslim plz create u’r own universe and live there,this universe for allha and his creation,u ppl nothing to create even an atom ,u r using allha’s nature, how dare/right r u to criticize religion of my almighty god?

      And now–no surprise–he is threatening those who dare expose Islam’s violence.

      More:

      ACTUALLY BURNING QURAN RESPECT THE QURAN(THESE BRAIN DEAD ZOMBIES DON’T KNOW THESE):
      ……………………………….

      If Muslims were claiming that Infidels were burning Qur’ans for this reason, they would not be slaughtering them, as the aptly-named sham well knows.

      We can critsize your god because he is false with a false prophet. Your Quran and your prophet have been proven time and time again to be full of errors. The Quran fails its own tests of authenticity as does Muhammad.
      Quran says that if it was false, let someone make a verse like it Ch 2, verse 23.
      Muhammad uttered the so called satanic verses Ch 53 verses 19-23, so that your so called Allah had to send a correction Ch 22 verse 52. Therefore Satan was able to produce verses that even Muhammad didn’t realise weren’t from your so called god. Therefore Satan made verses like in the Quran. Quran fails its own test,
      Muhammad said if he was a false prophet, let his aorta be cut (Ch 69 verses 40-46), when he was dying from poisoning, he told Umm Bishr that he felt as if his aorta was being severed (Al Tabbari Vol 8 phase 124). Muhammad fails his own test.
      So stop talking nonsense about your crappy religion and wake up to the fact it is a paganistic, demon worshiping cult.

      @Sham

      Your Allah does not even know how to add simple fractions.The least he could do, being the creator of the whole universe. What a FARCE!

      Q. 4:11 “Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children’s (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases (‘s) after the payment of legacies and debts…”

      Q. 4: 12“In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts…”

      Q. 4:176 “If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If (such a deceased was) a woman, who left no child, Her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance (between them): if there are brothers and sisters, (they share), the male having twice the share of the female. Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His law), lest ye err. And Allah hath knowledge of all things.”

      Do the math you zombie.

      “Islam ordered death for three crime(murder,adultery(married person) and fighting)”

      You forgot just being a kaffir. But then disbelief itself is “fighting” Islam, isn’t it?
      You forgot a Muslim leaving Islam “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” (Bukhari 9, #57) But that’s “fighting” Islam too, isn’t it?

      You also forgot blasphemy. Insulting the Qur’an is blasphemy. Burning a Qur’an is insulting Islam. Insulting Muhammad in any fashion is blasphemy, deserving of death. Death, death, and more death.
      “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction!” as peace-loving Muhammad proclaimed (The Pledge of Aqaba).

      Let’s just deal with ‘whoever curses a Prophet, kill him’ for how Islam orders death:
      “al-Husayn ibn ‘Ali related from his father that the Messenger of Allah said in respect of this matter, “Whoever curses a Prophet, kill him. Whoever curses my Companions, beat him.”

      “Those who harm Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Next, and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.” (33:57).

      “the Prophet commanded that Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf be killed. He asked, “Who will deal with Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf? He has harmed Allah and His Messenger.” He sent someone to assassinate him without calling him to Islam, in distinction to other idol-worshippers. The cause of that lay in his causing harm to the Prophet. That indicates that the Prophet had him killed for something other than idol-worship. It was for causing harm. Abu Rafi,’ who used to harm the Messenger of Allah and work against him, was also killed.

      “he ordered the killing of Ibn Khatal and his two slavegirls who used to sing his curses on the Prophet.

      “It is related that a woman used to curse the Prophet and he said, “Who will save me from my enemy?” Khalid ibn al-Walid went out and killed her.

      http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/misc/alshifa/pt4ch1sec2.htm

      Ibn Taymiyyah said:

      “The First Issue: That Whoever – be it Muslim or kāfir – Swears at the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم, Then It Is Obligatory to Execute Him

      As to the idea Muhammad sometimes forgave those who insulted him and Muslims now also can:

      “Rasulullah sometimes chose to forgive those who had insulted him, and sometimes he ordered that they should be executed, if that served a greater purpose. But now his forgiveness is impossible because he is dead, so the execution of the one who insults him remains the right of Allaah, His Messenger and the believers, and the one who deserves to be executed cannot be let off, so the punishment must be carried out. {Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 2/438}

      “Insulting the Prophet is one of the worst of forbidden actions, and it constitutes kufr and apostasy from Islam, according to scholarly consensus, 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. If he repents sincerely and regrets what he has done, this repentance will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection and Allaah will forgive him but that will not help him in the worldly life because he will still be executed.”

      https://ansarukhilafah.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/the-islamic-ruling-on-the-one-who-insults-the-rasulmay-peace-and-blessings-be-upon-him/

      No, Islam orders death– for Qur’an burners and for critics and mockers. From the daughter of Marwaan
      to Theo Van Gogh, or Salman Rushdie or Molly Norris or Danish cartoonists or Charlie Hebdo…

        Infidels burning a Qur’an is insulting Islam. Muslims burning a Qur’an is perfectly halal. It is not the burning at all, it is who burns it.

    ”Mr. Bangash said another Hindu man was arrested in the town four days earlier after burnt copies of Islam’s holy book were found at the local mosque.”

    So, the burnt copies of the koran were found **at the mosque**.

    Are Hindus allowed into a mosque ? I somehow doubt that. Even if they were, what Hindu is going to burn copies of the koran in a mosque ? This is ridiculous.

    Sounds to me like yet another example of mohammedans doing it themselves, in order to accuse non-muslims of ‘blasphemy’ for some sort of advantage, or revenge for something or other.

      Absolutely, the most likely explanation. Would hardly be the first time, remember the Imam who planted burned pages of the Qur’an on Rimsha Masha to accuse her of blasphemy? Even when the forgery was revealed, the Muslims wanted her dead anyway and she had to flee to Canada. The Imam was acquitted, naturally.
