Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan sentences man to death for sharing “blasphemous” content about Islam on Facebook

Jun 10, 2017 1:28 pm By Robert Spencer

“Raza was arrested last year for allegedly posting derogatory content about Sunni Muslim religious leaders and the wives of the Prophet Mohammed on Facebook.”

Shi’ites don’t believe that the first three caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, were legitimate, and regards Muhammad’s wife Aisha negatively because of her lifelong opposition to Ali, Muhammad’s son-in-law and the revered figure of Shi’ite Islam. Shi’a believe that Ali was the rightful successor of Muhammad. Aisha hated him for telling Muhammad to relax and that he could always get another wife when she was accused of adultery and in danger of being executed (she was later exonerated after Muhammad received a “revelation” requiring four witnesses for a sexual transgression). So if Taimoor Raza has been sentenced to death for insulting the first three caliphs, which is what is likely meant by “Sunni Muslim religious leaders,” and the “wives of the Prophet Mohammed,” by which is almost certainly meant Aisha, Pakistan’s government is essentially criminalizing Shi’ite Islam.

In any case, this is the future of the supine and cowed West, unless things change drastically.

“Pakistani sentenced to death for blasphemy on social media,” The Nation (Pakistan), June 10, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

MULTAN: A minority Shiite Muslim was sentenced to death in Pakistan for sharing blasphemous content about Islam on social media, a government prosecutor said.

Judge Shabbir Ahmed announced the sentence for 30-year-old Taimoor Raza on Saturday in Bahawalpur in eastern Punjab province, according to Shafiq Qureshi. Raza was arrested last year for allegedly posting derogatory content about Sunni Muslim religious leaders and the wives of the Prophet Mohammed on Facebook.

Qureshi said Bahawalpur’s counter-terrorism force arrested Raza in April last year following a complaint that he was showing onlookers objectionable material on his cell phone at a bus terminal. He added that Raza had previously posted other blasphemous material on Facebook….

In recent months, the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif launched a campaign to rid social media of any content considered insulting to Islam, at least any posted by Pakistanis.

The government petitioned Facebook and Twitter to identify Pakistanis worldwide posting material considered offensive to Islam so that Pakistani authorities can prosecute them or pursue their extradition on charges of blasphemy, tantamount to a death sentence.

    It’s obvious that Taimoor Raza is a Sunnophobe.

      Only ONE ISLAMIC SECT can be correct. All the other Islamic sects are HERETICS who are guilty of shirk (wrong worship).

      ALL the MUSRIKEEN should be murdered according to Sharia, so Muslims will have to murder one another until only ONE is left. That is the INSANE illogic of Islam.

      correction: “Jo Jo deesai soiee soiee rogee rog rahit mera Satgur Jogi” – only TrueGuru is disease free. From Sikh Scriptures.

      too many inbreds in world and too many feminists and too many obsessed with the three or four kinds of racism 1.overt racism, 2.covert racism, 3.subtle racism, and the worst kind of racism: 4.nonexistent racism.

      Grow up pakshitstan and admit your Dharmic Roots. So you are not really Abrahamic? Are you Semitic? ReAryanize yourself pakshitstan through GharWapsi.

          Mortimer– I agree; I cannot follow anything that pnr is trying to say. EXCEPT pakistan is not a Semitic country.

          What his blabbering is-in connection with the topic is beyond me.

      I wonder how many Pakistani Christians are going to be executed for “blasphemy” after being caught up in Zuckerberg’s censorship algorithm that flags pro-Christ messages. Harvard doesn’t give a darn. TRUMP should demand Asia Bibi be released and allowed to immigrate to the US with her poor family.

    I guess ahimsic resettlement to other planets is too controversial?

    point is : nonmuslim unity needed to combat jihad. will have to reread iskcon acharya’s Dharma Manifesto.

    ‘blasphemy about islam “?- how can that be since islam IS BLASPHEMY against all that is Holy Righteous Just, merciful lovely peaceful; and of God!

    in my view, it is Muslim vs Muslim in a 95+% Muslim country.

    The US should stay out of it.

    We already have solution to this problem. Saudi Arabia will fight Iran. Give as many weapons to them to kill each other. But should be a bit careful that they will not use it against others. It means in peaceful times no weapon.

    Pakistan was inadvertently omitted from the temporary visa ban in which six Muslim-dominated states were mentioned. Pakistan belongs on the list even more than a few countries mentioned.
    Pakistani nationality will be found in any search of perpetrators aligned to shariah law who are offenders unfortunately located in democracies of the free world.
    To clarify further, President Trump was using a six country list as researched via the Obama administration, which was never implemented by Obama. Despite the problem of Obama regime appointed judges, who have sought to block Trump’s move, inclusion of Pakistan as an offending nation would be a honest assessment. Hopefully, once Trump’s order leaves the jurisdictions of those biased political judges, Pakistan will then be dealt with.

    The only reason that Muslim nations ,as Pakistan ,have “blasphemy laws” enacted is because Islam is ,with its many falsehoods, is such a weak and fragile religion that can’t stand up to criticism of any kind. No matter how mild that criticism be be.

    How wonderful those “revelations”. They came at the right moment for the “prophet”. Sex plays a very important part in Islam in this world and also in the next. We all know Meliohammed’s fantastic libido, Aisha (the mother of all believers) to got infected by it but then good old allah spoke up and told Mohammed that all was ok and go get 4 witnessess to the act.
    Those “revelations” have save saved Mohammed in the nick of time when he put both his feet in his mouth and uttered crap.
