Pakistan: Christian boy faces death penalty for insulting Islam on Facebook

Sep 30, 2016 11:49 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A 16-YEAR-OLD Christian boy faces the death penalty after he was accused of insulting Islam in a Facebook post.

His family have been forced to flee their home in Bhai Pheru for fear of violence as their sons awaits trial in prison….

Also, it isn’t even certain whether the boy even posted the image, was tagged in the post or he simply liked the post. But it really does not matter under Pakistan’s cruel blasphemy laws: Christians and other minorities are often targeted and wrongly accused of blaspheming Muhammad and/or Islam, and given death sentences upon Muslim witnesses’ testimony. For example, the well-known case of Asia Bibi, who was accused of insulting Muhammad after a group of upset Muslim women in her home village got angry with her for drinking the same water as they were drinking, since she was considered an unclean Christian infidel. An argument ensued and she was subsequently accused of blasphemy, incarcerated under the worst of conditions, and faces hanging.

Families of those accused of blasphemy also suffer under this state-sponsored abuse. For instance, a Christian man in Pakistan’s Punjab province, who was accused of watching “anti-Islamic lectures on his mobile phone,” was “accused of blasphemy, forcing him and his family to flee from their village” for safety.

A couple of other anti-Christian blasphemy cases which were particularly cruel: back in February a disabled Christian man and his wife were sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy without evidence, on the sheer word of an imam who accused them of sending a text to him which blasphemed Muhammad. Two years earlier, another Christian couple – with a baby on the way — was accused of burning a Qur’an, beaten to death by a large Muslim mob, and then set ablaze.

When one considers the barbarity of Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which mandates death for anyone who insults Islam, one also needs to wake up and realize that the once-free Western world is now under siege from an imposed variation of Pakistan’s blasphemy law. Every freedom-loving individual faces threats of personal attack and death, without sentence, if he or she dares to “blaspheme” Islam and/or Muhammad. The Charlie Hebdo massacre; the jihad attack at the Muhammad cartoons art contest in Garland, Texas; the riots following Terry Jones’ burning of the Quran (and even his announcement that he was going to do so); the riots over the movies “The Innocence of Muslims” and “Fitna” — these are all high profile troubling examples. Remember also that South Park altered an episode that satirized Muhammad following death threats from a Muslim group in New York. So can the West really said to be a bastion of free speech, free from blasphemy restrictions?

“Christian boy, 16, facing DEATH PENALTY for offending Muslims in Facebook post,” by Katie Mansfield, UK Express, September 29, 2016:

A 16-YEAR-OLD Christian boy faces the death penalty after he was accused of insulting Islam in a Facebook post.

The boy has been arrested and charged with blasphemy after a photo of the Kaaba in Mecca, one of the holiest sites in Islam, appeared on his profile.

A Muslim man told police the image, which was part of an alleged derogatory post against Islam on the boy’s profile, was insulting and sacrilegious.

The black cube-shape is built around an ancient stone at the centre of Islam’s most sacred mosque Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Locals reportedly claimed the image showed the Kaaba with a pig’s head on top.

Shahbaz Ahmed, a police official, said the informant contacted officers over a post “hurting religious sentiments of Muslims and desecrating the religious place”.

He said the boy “had done a great injustice to us by badly hurting our religious feelings”.

Police did not release details of the contents of the post, other than it included a photo of the Kaaba.

It is unclear if the boy posted the image, was tagged in the post or liked the post.

But under Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws, the teenage boy faces the death penalty or a life sentence.

The Facebook post has since been deleted.

His family have been forced to flee their home in Bhai Pheru for fear of violence as their sons awaits trial in prison.

Wilson Chowdhry, chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said: “This incident again underlines the worthlessness of Christians in Pakistan. A 16-year-old boy who has been accused of a blasphemy, has been placed in a prison without any proper investigation.

“Social media can be a force for good or for bad, and we are all too aware of trolling in the west. However few understand the blasphemy entrapment Christians can face in Pakistan and often on flimsiest evidence, for which I can see social media becoming an ever more prolific weapon.

“Pakistani Christians try to be active parts of society and will have friends from the local Muslim community. It is hard to be part of the local community when you exclude the largest diversity, however perhaps in future Christians in Pakistan should observe a more stand-offish approach when adding Muslims to their social media.

“Clearly, even long term friends will bay for your blood if they feel that you have slighted their faith. perhaps it would be wise to prevent such hatred by more aloofness in future.”

Human rights organisations say Pakistan’s blasphemy laws often target religious minorities.

Religious offences include “wounding religious feelings”, “derogatory remarks” and “defiling the Koran”….

      Those are TRUE Muslims following Muhammad’s example.
      Islam is full of double speak as needed.

      All those anti-Christian deep pocket liberal gays who donate to cash cow Muslim defender SPLC should realize that Muslims kill gays as well, not just Christians.

      Here below are Muslims willfully denying Muhammad’s teaching.

        I object. As a gay non christian I still feel victim of the anti gay Muslim beliefs. I consider myself a liberal and I am not anti Christian. My family is Christian. I object however to the way gay people are banned from the Catholic Church or who are otherwise discriminated against by Christian movements ( a few years ago there was a big turmoil about a Catholic bishop who publicly told a number of lesbian women to please leave his church when they were about to continue their sinful lifestyle).

        I would also like to point out that the Catholic church has been very busy burning witches by their Inquisition in the 15th century ( seefor example http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_burn2.htm)

        The first casualty of any religion that I know of is the truth. The truth seems to have a lesser importance than the faith. A famous saying: Morality is doing what is right no matter what you’re told. Religion is doing what you’re told, no matter what is right.

        As you can see, I have grown a severe suspiciousness against any religion. But having said that, I would befriend any Christian any day to combat the threats posed by the Islam.

          Sep 30, 2016 at 3:20 pm

          Johan, You will find that Christians are no longer burning witches, nor are they executing people for being gay. A problem arises if Christians start to read the initial chapters of the Old Testament. There you find such nasty things as “If a man lies with another man it is an abomination to the Lord and both must be put to death”. The general tone is that the Lord is heavy on smiting and very light on forgiveness.
          My wife had a conversation with one of her Catholic friends that went something like this:
          W: “What is God?” F: “God is Love” W: “Have you read the Bible? F: “No”

          Oct 1, 2016 at 1:44 am

          Johan, the truth is that Catholic church loves you no matter your un/faithfulness.
          It’s your call. Your free will. And what do we do with our freedom.

          Church only reminds of the truth. And, there is no need of going all the way back to 15 century Inquisition in search for excuses to blame the Church. The truth is always the same – unconditional spaceless and timeless love. Only people grow.

          Speaking about Islam .. It is fossilised and it doesn’t grow. It is dead and it is death to its followers and it is death to the world because it kills any fruit of the free will. Islam doesn’t recognise reasoning.

          Oct 1, 2016 at 2:26 am

          Johan, Jesus gave his life to absolve all of us of our sins. That is why the new testament is called the new testament. God realized that all of creation deserved mercy and yes, even love. Of course there was a stipulation, we have to ask in free will and have faith. If we, as the Bible says, are made in Gods image that is a clue to what God is. Humanity is a puzzle because God is a paradox.

          John 8:7
          “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

          As far as the inquisition, I find it suspicious that the inquisition reared its ugly head coinciding with muslim encroachment in Spain and to a lesser degree other places. I need to re-research history with an enlightened mind. But it seems like the more we study history the more it leads back to the same root cause.

        Jay Boo, I appreciate you reference to “A Joint Muslim Statement –On the Carnage in Orlando”. I initially thought that this might be Orwellian double-speak, but it is more like distorting the truth by only showing one side of a two-sided coin. One side is evil – and the other side is good. You only see the good side. Then you bring the coin into your home – and the coin flips over….

        Muslim propaganda is based on only allowing those ideas that show Islam in a positive light to propagate. Anything negative about Islam must be suppressed. All educational institution must portray Muhammad as some type of hero – one who should be admired, revered, and certainly not criticized.

        There is now a course given by “The Teaching Company” entitled
        “Turning Points in Middle Eastern History” given by Eamonn Gearon. Lecture 2 – Muhammad and the Dawn of Islam – 622, begins as follows:

        Eamonn Gearon: “Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, preached a message of social justice from the earliest stages of his mission. Consider the following words from his last sermon that was two months before his death:

        “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white person has no superiority over a black person, nor a black any superiority over white except by piety and good action”

        “Even as the fingers of the two hands are equal, so are human beings equal to one another. No one has any right, nor any preference to claim over another. You are brothers”

        Perhaps such empowering lessons, and the positive social changes that arose from them during Muhammad’s lifetime, are unknown or overlooked in the West today, and perhaps the positive has got lost among the very negative societal changes
        and oppression that has also occurred in the region at different times in its history”.

        Overall, the course givs a lot of good historical stuff; however, some of it is difficult to get through because it is always slanted to present Islam in a positive light.

          Thanks Ted
          You are correct
          Muslims can distort the truth and even contradict Muhammad’s example with statements like the one in the link as long as the goal is to promote Islam, they can lie all night and day.

      you got me there. I suppose I can relate quite a bit better to Israels ideas of keeping the riff raff out, although I do not believe it is wise for Israel to keep the Palestine areas from having trade relations and open harbours. I still have a little spark of hope that economic progress will eventually help the palestinians to get out of their miserable state that they are in, and getting a bit less violent. For this to happen, Israel should allow the millions of palestine people to travel freely abroad and to have trade relations with Europe. One can always hope.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 30, 2016 at 3:11 pm

        Infidel lives matter is being sarcastic. The UN regularly censures democratic Israel, while ignoring Islamic savagery–that is what he is referring to.

        As for the “Palestinians”. they regularly use smuggling tunnels to bring in weaponry to use against Israel. How “poor” are they if they have access to rockets to use against their neighbor?

        And I’m afraid the idea that economic progress will cure Muslim violence does not pan out–it is important to note that states like Saudi Arabia are awash in unearned oil wealth, yet are still Shari’ah hellholes that export Jihad terrorism.

    By the way, I know I am constantly repeating myself, news like this has been constantly kept from us in the Netherlands. We have here a few major news channels used by most people 1. the newspapers, where only the Telegraaf in some rare cases publishes news like this, none of the other newspapers do that 2. The NOS which is the news channel of the state funded national television, 3. A number of commercial TV channels such as Veronica and Net 5, the only ones that are independent but very unsactisfactory leave out any news that could be felt as controversial by its viewers, afraid to be considered to be islamophobic or anti immigrant or anything coming close, afraid to lose viewers. The sad fact is that any news about religious issues or immigrant issues is heavily slanted or just left out. And then there is the heavily restricted teletekst that we get on television. A discussion about abolishing Sinterklaas (the Dutch equivalent of Santa Claus) because those poor immigrant children will think about a few centuries back when there were still slaves however has been taken up many, many pages of our newspapers. This because he has black helpers and is in fact a souvenir from the days when the Netherlands was still occupied by Spain and the catholics. Until a few years ago all the immigrant children were happily enjoying Sinterklaas and receiving their gifts from his black helpers, they even thought it fun to play Zwarte Piet (the name of his helpers). My own generation never even thought a single moment of the source of this tradition but happily enjoyed this festival with anyone. No surprise that this discussion has annoyed a lot of us.

    Having been busy reading German online newspapers almost every day since July, I am now able to confirm that the situation in Germany is more or less the same. On the German tv that I get here(ZDF, ARD) there have been one or two occasions where in-depth discussion (not even bad) about the refugee crisis and the disastrous aftermath of Merkel’s decision to let them in by the millions. No such discussion to be found nor any discussion about any political subject. The German television btw is boring as hell as are their newspapers: an average article in a newspaper takes up three pages and takes about one hour to read in some of their journals (the Suddeutsche Zeitung is the worst). The Germans are very kind and fun loving people, though, and they are very caring. So I rather presume they are more occupied celebrating their October fest where endless beer drinking and schlagersinging is the name of the game.

    In short: it is extremely difficult to get our people here out of their little world and to look at the facts of the problems that are discussed in this website on a daily basis. They rather think about us as brown rats or as suspects of discrimination and a kind of white power movement that is suspect, in order to keep blissfully unaware of the threats around them, and to keep dreaming in their little bubble about our perfect democratic state and about how superior they are with their unfallible democratic ideas that allow for refugees to be let in almost indefinitely.

    “For example, the well-known case of Asia Bibi, …”

    I draw my negative opinion about Islam from this kind incident, not just any atrocities ISIS or any other jihadist militia does. The difference between ISIS and Muslims in Islamic countries is a matter of intensity and methods. They share the same convictions.

    This Christian facing death for “insulting Islam” on Facebook. As as seen by those engaged Muslims holding up that banner that has in it the word’s that reads “Behead Those Who Insult Islam” This is almost as interesting as it’s also terrible. For the god of Islam, Allah , must be such a weak and powerless god that he can’t handle an “insult” to Islam. Likewise , This god , Allah must also be so needful and helpless that he is in need Muslims to help him out when he or his prophet or the Qu ‘ran is might be possibly be mocked.
    One of the many reasons that Christian’s don’t because so engaged and engage in deadly violence when the God of Christianity ,the Bible, is mocked is that The God of the Bible is not so weak and powerless when he is mocked. In that He is Almighty and All powerful so he doesn’t need Christians to become violent to “help Him out” The God of the Bible can take care of Himself when being mocked. As the Bible teaches “Be not deceived ; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth , that he shall also reap.” Galatians 6:7. [K.J.V.]
    In addition this is not a good time to further make it clear ,in more detail, that the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. As the following explains. The God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.

    The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett

      I can understand how a person can be brainwashed into believing that you can live forever just by believing in the existence of your particular Deity and by being a good person. Immortality is something that normal people think is a good thing. But how is it possible for a person to be so brainwashed that he or she is willing to kill another person just because they have offended their imaginary God or his profligate messenger? Could it be that Islam has the power to grasp the evil that is buried deep within each of us and bring it to the surface?

        Many people do not have the intellectual capacity, or emotional fortitude to question their tradition, and their cultural indoctrination when need be…They just don’t question the cruelty of it all. It’s so tragic, and barbaric.

        For one, having a tradition of marrying cousins should be done away with. . Shows how insanely backward these cultures are that marrying one’s cousin is still quite common, if what I read is correct.

          What you read is correct and that has been going on for 1400 years plus. Stupidity reigns in islamic countries and stupidity is the underlying principle of islam and islamic attacks. Deadly, yes, stupid, yes. Occasionally they get lucky and kill many but mostly it is just a few injured or killed. But if they kill five and we kill one that is a kill ratio that is at best suicidal and in my opinion that is unacceptable as well.

        • tgusa says

          Oct 2, 2016 at 2:47 am

          In a sane world and if you want to win the acceptable kill ratio would be 20 to 1. But being an open minded westerner i will renegotiate that figure and accept 10 to 1. In the greater interest of all of civilized humanity, of course.

    The greatest weakness of Islamic countries is that they can only survive by selling oil or date sugar.

    conquering other countries and stealing their wealth is the only way Islam can survive because they are nomads not farmers.

    The best way to beat Islam is to stop dealing with the devil in the first place, stop all business deals in these countries, Blockade their ports with battleships, Sabotage their oil wells, Produce and export so much US oil they cant beat the price even on the russian and chinese black markets.

    Then in a short time Islamic countries will all implode, the baddest most extreme groups take over, kill everyone, and the entire site is then “sanitized” from orbit. Now safe zones are created in the countries and the Immigrants can all go home,
    and years go by and the process repeats itself.. more conquests followed an eventual crusade.
    Waves of history that prove that jihad is the ” Mothers Milk” that feeds Islam, and as such without war, Islam cannot survive.. .

      Not all nomads are parasitic–some tend flocks.

      But yes–the vile “Prophet” Muhammed lauded caravan raiding, ransoming captives, and enslaving their victims, while denigrating productive labor. He even said that a home with farm implements would never know the blessing of Allah.

      To this day, Muslims want to live off the labor of the “filthy Infidels”.

    Hi Folks,

    (Sorry if that appears as a cross-post. I don’t know if I got the keys/links to the thread right. – Yes, even I make mistakes…)

    Here’s a bit of something which is, IMO, noteworthy. In fact so noteworthy that I provide the source, and the name of author in addition to a full translation. An Article from the 30 September 2016 published in “Conservo”, a German online mag/blog. The article is from a gentleman by name of Helmut Zott. It will also serve as a further indicator for how long this “whole thing” is going one, and that it has been thoroughly planed – think of 1962-1965, and nothing less than a Vatican Council. The actual link: https://conservo.wordpress.com/2016/09/30/kirche-und-macht/

    Here is the translation……………………..

    Church & Power
    by Helmut Zott

    The statement of the second Vatican Councils (1962-1965) that the God of Christendom is identical with Allah, is not only completely wrong, but its effect upon the future of all of Christianity is so devastating, that it can only be compared with the far reaching changes and alterations of Christendom which were implemented {insert: forced upon Christianity} by the Council of Nicae in 325AD.

    Then under the auspices of Emperor Constantine, a formal pact was made between Emperor and Church. As a foundation it was established that the Church is entitled to demand from the Emperor the ‘he will draw the sword in order to force obedience to what the Church declares to be the correct faith.” Through this connection of state and church the Empire was not converted to the Church, but the Church to the Empire.

    The resultant “two-sword-theory” of the ‘Bulle’ (“Unam sanctam”) was explained by Pope Bonifaz VIII., (1302) as follows: “One sword to be wielded by the Church, and the other for the Church.” The ‘Bulle’ stated further that it is necessary for the “Hail” {in that sense: Salvation) of every human soul to submit itself to (the authority of) the Roman Pope. To that effect Leo X. (1513-1521) had everyone at his feet. He was celebrated and addressed as the ‘highest of all human beings’. The inquisition then became an instrument of Rome’s ‘Holy War’, with which everything that did now want to volunteer into this ‘Christian Roman Realm’, was forced to submit – or face extermination.

    One can reach from various passages of the book „Zeitbomben der Weltgeschichte“ (Time Bombs of History) by Marius Baar, that consequently similar relations and structures developed as found in Islam, that is the interconnection of religion and worldly power {insert: the way it is phrased in the original implies that this is still the case at present. Though, much reduced to what it originally was.}

    Today’s Church has allied itself with the ‘power factor’ Islam, (a combination) which will affect radical change in the future. {insert: implying that we ain’t seen nothing yet}. That is why a Dr. Hans-Pater Raddatz {insert: you have similar characters in the US and other places} talks about “Chrislam”, which therefore or actually has been brought into existence in the II. Vatican Council in 1965.

    What initially was supposed to reduce the gap with Judaism, resulted in a ‘brotherhood’ with those who want to destroy Israel. The equalization of the Christian Gott with Allah has assumed dogmatic character, because the Catholic Church determined simultaneously that any diversion or avoidance of the ‘Bulle’ of the Council would be an act of renegation from the teachings of the Church and therefore from the (Catholic) Church itself. {insert: That is a statement by the Council, and it obviously implies the self excommunication for the renegade concerned !!! …..}

    Through this fundamental error the Church becomes the facilitator of the spread of Islam, and through this, with the resultant empowerment of Islam, the Church as well as the Christian Occident will be ruined. Consequently we are (all) not only at a parting road, but at the edge of an abyss.

    What one faces with Islam has been described by Moussa Afschar as follows:
    “The most important peculiarity of Islam is its insatiable appetite for power. Islam wants to rule to the exclusion of everything else. Its ideal condition is simply world rule. This is not a new ideology, nor is it the aim of the ‘Islamic extremist’, but the explicit order of Allah!” {This then is followed by the usual quotes from the Quran}
    From this “Cäsar Papismus“ (“Caesar-Papism”) to “Chrislam” was and is the way of the Catholic Church as far as can be gauged. It will falter and collapse through this connection, or at ‘best’, it will continue to exist in a form within which the true spirit of Christendom has been abandoned.

    {This then is followed by a rather sad and depressive poem, not easy to translate.}

    ……………….. End of translation

    Personal comment from DFD: There were and are of course members of the Catholic, and other clergy, who are trying to to oppose this, I believe that’s why Kardinal Ratzinger/Pope Bendikt “resigned”, but what chance do they have against a **Vatican Council ** and the ‘Bulle’ issued by such council? None! Martin Luther anyone?

    A 16-YEAR-OLD Christian boy faces the death penalty after he was accused of insulting Islam in a Facebook post.

    But hey, I’m certain the Pakistani state, who created and enforced the law being applied in this case, is a perfectly reliable partner in the fight against islamic “extremism” – you know, the people who’ll kill you if you “insult” (i.e., speak the truth about) islam…

    This is the terrorism of unchecked Traditional Islam of the streets backed up by Sharia inspired courts.
    There’s no ‘external’ enemy such as ISIS to blame in these cases and still we see people charged with capital offences with the ease of issuing parking infringements.

    I just listened to OSHO on Islam, very powerful stuff. He calls the koran a book that is “not even third grade literature” and Muhammad obviously “not normal.” You can find these talks in a series on You Tube.

      Solange silverman, you are doing nothing except showing what you have learnt from your parents. Zero ethics and moral

    Well, the good thing is there are modern minded Pakistani lawyers who defend Christians, and others’ rights to speak their mind…..

    Oh wait, they get assassinated…

    Come on U.S. gov’t, you need to be getting tough with strings attached on these backward countries you give money to…
