Pakistan: Imam refuses last rites to student Muslims lynched for “blasphemy”

Apr 15, 2017 12:51 pm By Robert Spencer

“First they killed my son and now they are adding salt to our wounds.”

Yes. And all to appease their bloodthirsty god.

“Imam Refuses To Lead Last Rites Of Pak Student Lynched At University For Alleged Blasphemy,” by Bobins Abraham, India Times, April 15, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The hatred that led to the brutal killing of Mashal Khan a journalism student at Abdul Wali Khan University in Mardan, it seems hasn’t died down even after his death.

A local resident in his native town of Swabi told Reuters that the local Imam refused to lead Khan’s last rites on Friday. Even a technician who was asked to do so in the cleric’s place was confronted by several people afterwards.

Khan was attacked and beaten to death by a mob on Thursday, a day after an alleged heated debate over religion with fellow students. Aziz ur Rehman, a caretaker at the hostel who witnessed Khan’s debate with his fellow students, said he brought up arcane subjects such as whether the offspring of Adam and Eve would have married each other.

The mob which alleged that Khan had committed blasphemy broke opened his hostel room from where he was dragged out and beaten to death.

Khan’s family who are still to come to terms with their loss rejected the blasphemy allegations. “First they killed my son and now they are adding salt to our wounds,” Khan’s father Iqbal Shaer said.

In fact both the police and the government too have maintained that there was no evidence of any blasphemous act by Khan.

“The mobile phone record of the victim has been checked by the police but there was nothing against Islam,” Khyber Pakhtun­khwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak said….

    I’m very sorry for he loss of your son, Mr. and Mrs. Kahn.

    – But I expect you to understand by now, that if you’re choosing to be muslim, then these are, ultimately, the consequences.

      They’re not allowed to become non-Muslims in Pakistan. Apostasy is “illegal”:

      (Note that apostasy is “illegal” even in non-Muslim India but it only applies to Muslims, who have managed to get privileges from their constitution)

        I had not realized that about India. More sickening dhimmitude. Does India enforce this brutal Shari’ah law? I couldn’t find any references to this on-line. Do any Indians posting here know?

    A blasphemer of Islam is anyone who makes a comment that is ‘IMPERMISSIBLE’ according to Sharia law.

    The blasphemer is said to be AT WAR WITH ISLAM. A comment criticizing or ridiculing Islam is said to constitute an unforgiveable CRIME under Sharia law. Such a blasphemer is KILLED and any Muslim is authorized to act as a vigilante with or without a fatwa, though preferably with a fatwa.

    No practicing Muslim can disagree with the execution of blasphemers without leaving Islam.

    Since only Mohammed could possibly forgive a blasphemer, ALL blasphemers must be killed since Mohammed is dead!

    Confused yet? That’s normative Islam…the Death Cult.

    This is the kind of crime the “screw you and your white privilege” crowd will completely ignore. But in reality they are nobody’s friend since that would require integrity. How can you defend one person and then act as if another equally placed person doesn’t even exist? Based on what? Certainly not on the very principles they claim to uphold.

    last rites of islam – is that were they dedicate the corpse to satan/allah- maybe it’s not so bad not to have your corpse dedicated to the Satan/allah and the religion of death darkness and hell!

    • gravenimage says

      I just feel bad for the terribly bereaved parents, who still believe this to be a good thing.

      God, I hate Islam.

    I would guess-and strictly a guess- ( and makes no sense to me) that as arcane a subject as would the children of Adam & Eve married- would be of no interest to anyone. Besides, who would have been there to marry them? And, as this- Adam & Eve are from The Torah (Old Testament to Christians) and not the koran, etc- why would they-Muslims- care?

    Muslims have a funeral prayer. That’s after the person is dead. They have no last rites. They are not Catholics. However, both Muslims and Catholics play with a string of beads.

      ………………….

      That’s pretty much where the resemblance ends. Islam stole a lot of superficial things from Judaism and Christianity. Not much of substance, though–especially morally.

    They are ALL mad dogs infected with the Islamo- rabies virus. All it takes to get those “moderate” ” peaceful” ” tolerant ” Muslims foaming at the mouth and murdering people is some nut job howling Allah Akbar from the local mosque.

    Another “Khan family” story the Left Stream Media won’t be reporting because it shows the ugliness of even non-ISIS Muslims. So, this young man doesn’t get a “Muslim burial” but, America went to the extreme to give Osama bin laden a Muslim burial? Goes to show you that Osama was a “true believer”…the peaceful, persecuted Muslim was not.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 8:51 pm

      He might be better off without a Muslim burial, when Push comes to Shove.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 8:54 pm

      Osama was buried at sea, hastily (as though something was being covered up).

      In eleven years in Saudi Arabia (with water all around the Arabian Peninsula) I never once heard of a Muslim being buried at sea.

      In fact, when I was there, they weren’t too keen on water for anything but drinking.

      Maybe I somehow missed a report or two of Muslim burial at sea, but suspect that burial it is not considered a conventional burial by Muslims.

    A religion of peace……yet man can be killed ! That`s OK for doubt or question is not allowed so murder is justified ! However a `religion` that fears debate, is frightened by question, or keeps its followers by fear itself, is clearly a man-made `religion` that it`s only power is within it`s grip on wild dreams. PS, countries that use a Muslim flag admit to worship of the ` Allah ` shown to be where his name comes from, a moon god !

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 8:57 pm

      The moon god Alliah, who was the favorite of Mohammed’s family, of a pantheon of about 300 pagan Arab gods at that time.

      Another indication that Mohammed wasn’t any too sharp.

    “In fact both the police and the government too have maintained that there was no evidence of any blasphemous act by Khan….”

    Meaningless, lame window dressing. These two institutions can posture all day long as impartial executives of Justice. But they share a lot of blame for these mob incidents due to their weak responses to them. If they were serious, there would be a zero tolerance mentality that would restrain many of these brutes.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 17, 2017 at 1:26 pm

      In Pakistan, the police sometimes stand by as those accused of blasphemy are attacked–and sometimes they actually join in.

        Agree; it’s low down and shocking.
