Pakistan: Muslim mob demands death for Christian teen accused of “insulting Islam”

Oct 20, 2016 4:51 pm By Robert Spencer

The lawyer for the prosecution even threatened the defense attorney: “Do you have any idea in what cases are you appearing as a counsel, it’s a blasphemy case and this man has blasphemed against Islam and you should know that Pakistan is an Islamic state, we are all Muslims, and these are Muslim courts so you should not defend such a criminal. You people come from Lahore to pursue this case here we have unlimited people whom you cannot face, so you better watch yourself and stay away.”

Such is daily life for non-Muslims in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

“Pakistani Muslim mob demands death for Christian boy who ‘insulted Islam,'” by Lorraine Caballero, Christian Daily, October 19, 2016:

Nabeel Masih, 16, has been accused of blasphemy and is now facing the death penalty after he allegedly posted on Facebook a photo of the Kaaba with a pig’s head on top, an image that local Muslims claimed was “insulting and sacrilegious.” When he faced the court this week, around 80 Muslims confronted the Christian teen and called for him to be hanged, the Express details.

Aside from that, Masih’s lawyers were also threatened by the Muslim mob. Aneeqa Maria, one of his legal representatives, claims that the prosecution threatened their team for taking on Masih’s case.

“The prosecution lawyer said ‘Do you have any idea in what cases are you appearing as a counsel, it’s a blasphemy case and this man has blasphemed against Islam and you should know that Pakistan is an Islamic state, we are all Muslims, and these are Muslim courts so you should not defend such a criminal,” said Maria. ‘You people come from Lahore to pursue this case here we have unlimited people whom you cannot face, so you better watch yourself and stay away.'”

Because of the commotion, the hearing has been postponed until a yet undetermined date. Masih, on the other hand, will remain in jail. His family has fled their home because of the threats against them.

British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) chairman Wilson Chowdhry had earlier denounced Pakistan’s blasphemy laws in light of the case of Masih and other Christians being targeted by similar accusations. For him, the incident highlights the “worthlessness” of believers in the South Asian country.

Chowdhry also decried the imprisonment of the Christian teen without a proper investigation. Citing the case of Nadeem James who was accused of blasphemy after a certain poem was planted on a chat app, the BPCA chairman said he would not be surprised if haters had merely tagged Nabeel in the image he allegedly posted.

I wouldn’t, either.

    Yes, consensus…the god of “democracy/theocracy”… No matter how many they may be – they are wrong! And, what an abusive language of a “defender of Justice”…

      It is a mystery to me why the British Government still sends millions of pounds in foreign aid to this bunch of primitive savages every year.

      Time to let them sink or swim on their own. Surely their Allah will provide for them?

      It is extremely unfair on hardworking, law abiding British tax payers to waste their taxes on this bunch of ingrates. Let Allah take over responsibility for them.

        Yes, Anne–we in the West should not send a single penny to Pakistan.

      Yes they are. Those are just some people with psychological problems. Islam means peace. Walk on, please nothing to see here.

    That Christian teen should come to the USA where he will be safe.

    We need to star accepting REAL refugees not these Muslims who claim to hate us so and still come here.

    “You better watch yourself and stay away”.

    The thuggery of Islam, right there.

    BTW, Pakistan has over 130 nuclear weapons and is 96% Muslim.

    Bhutto: “The Christians have the bomb, the Jews have the bomb, the Hindus have the bomb, why not the Muslims too have the bomb?”

      Yes and we now have a Muslim lawyer as Mayor of London. They are proving pretty successful at taking over Britain. Wonder how long it will be before we are all forced into Burkas.

    You are all talking in defence of the teen, non of u ever talked about the teens action that led to this issue. Why must he post such a thing? Are u protecting the boy or we defending his action?

      ……………………………..

      In the civilized world, we do not believe in “blasphemy” laws.

      You would not find Jews, or Christians, or people of most other faiths howling for blood this if kid had posted something critical about about any other religion.

      But Muslims demand that no one be allowed to say anything critical about Islam–including questioning its horrific violence.

      Add to this the fact that Muslims *regularly* falsely accuse Infidels of “insulting Muhammed” and “burning the Qur’an”, and other such rot, in order to steal Infidel property or clear out non-Muslim populations. This is rife in Pakistan.

    IF islam was a real religion, not an evil fake one, then images here would be blasphemous – http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3475246/posts

    Also plenty more blasphemy on google images under e.g. `kaaba pig’

    I had the misfortune of having to spend 17 long days in Paki-land one year. It was for work and I would not have been there for any other reason. Anyway, the place struck me as one big garage dump. The hypocritical rich had alcohol fuelled parties behind their broken glass topped security fences while the peasants went to the mosque to hear about their wonderful man-in-the-sky and his alleged messenger, the Big Moh. The place had mosques on very corner and old women begging in the streets avoiding the camels and donkeys being whipped; none of that health care or pensions stuff as it was Moh’s boss’s will they should suffer; a nice to get out of doing anything line and for keeping them under control. All-in-all it struck me a place run by sadistic 10 year olds and nothing they have done has changed my ideas about it. “The Lord of the Flies” and “Animal Farm” comes to mind about that nasty and jealous garbage dump.

    Pakistan: Muslim mob demands death for Christian teen accused of “insulting Islam”
    ……………………

    None of this horror should surprise.

    The demands for death; the threats–even from other lawyers!–against any who dare attempt to provide a defense.

    And–as noted–there is a good chance that the “blasphemy” case was trumped up in the first place.

    What these charges are always intended to do is to target the remnant of Christians and other Infidels still remaining in Pakistan–to get them to flee, to convert to Islam, or to murder them outright.

    God, I hate Islam.
