In the enlightened West, people aren’t arrested for criticizing Muhammad. They’re just excoriated as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people. Everyone the world over agrees that Muhammad, alone of all human beings, must never be criticized.
“Police arrests Christian man on blasphemy charges in Gujrat,” The Nation (Pakistan), July 15, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
GUJRAT: A Christian man, from Kharian Tehsil, was arrested on blasphemy charges.
The police moved the suspect to another place as there were rumors that the religious groups may attack the police station.
Nadeem Ahmed, owner of an electric shop in Dinga town, filed a complaint with the police that a friend of his Ishtiaq Ahmed Jalali informed him on Thursday that a Christian sweeper allegedly had uttered remarks against the Holy Prophet. The sweeper worked at a private hospital.
According to Nadeem, when he asked the sweeper if he had said anything regarding the Prophet he verified the allegation and repeated the same remarks. Gujrat SP Maaz Zafar reached Dinga after the police had received the complaint….
Johan Elzinga says
I wonder what the remarks were. Perhaps that the prophet Mohammed was a child molester (according to the koran and the hadith, this is a fact). Or that the prophet Mohammed was a bloodthirsty man, who would willingly call upon others to kill disbelievers if his precious religion was under threat (another part of the koran and the hadith describe this in detail). Or perhaps that according to modern standards the prophet Mohammed would be locked up as a dangerous criminal?
john spielman says
yes or locked up in an insane asylum or executed for crimes against humaity

Pakistan: Christian arrested for blasphemy for criticizing Muhammad
………………
How many times have we seen this ugliness in Pakistan? Not another penny for that terrorist Shari’ah state.
Anne Smith says
It is a matter of deep personal fury to me that our stupid and uninformed UK Government still continues to hand out millions, raised from, law abiding and mostly Christian, tax payers annually to this dreadful country.
It is long overdue to cut them off without a penny and let Allah keep them.
balam says
I fully agree with you .No more aid to Pakistan .Send then a few PIGS for EID.
Bob says
Agrred +! with GI, Anne & balam!
balam says
Pakistan literally means: LAND OF THE PURE{ EVIL }.You get nothing PURE in Pakistan except IMPURITY .The name of that wretched country should be changed to ‘PAK-SATAN} .Pakistan ,Iran and Saudi Arabia are the most ANTI CHRISTIAN countries in the world .It is sad that U.S.A has recently offered 400 million dollars in military aid to Pakistan which has always played double game .They hate America but love free money.

I agree with you all. That we Americans are in part financing this savagery makes me physically ill.
Lydia says
Mohammed was a false prophet and a sinner of the worst rank.
So there it is.
Westman says
Pakistan, light of the Muslim world, the center of academic enlightenment, world leader in borrowed nuclear technology, hidden ally of North Korea, choicest “friend” of India, and it will soon to be joined by Turkey on the road of Islamic progress.
In light of this greatness, arresting infidels for blasphemy must simply be mistaken reporting? (sarc)
balam says
Turkey should never ever be allowed to become a member of EUROPEAN COMMUNITY and it does not deserve to remain a member of NATO.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Balam.
duh swami says
Mohammad had a beautiful patter of conduct…If you don’t believe that ask Kinnana, he knows…

Spot on, Swami.

How holy is Mohammad ?
john spielman says
as holy as any unrepentant DEMON possessed mass murderer, thief liar and pedophile pervert can be!
balam says
Every thing UNHOLY is holy in Islam. To understand unholy Quran ,replace the word ALLAH with SATAN.
Chand says
There is not one ‘Islam’. There are no ‘Muslims’. There are only individual human beings acting with ideas in their heads for personal or genetic gain.
Pakistan is heavily dependent financially on Saudi Arabia for survival and has imported and spread the intolerant brand of Sunni Islam: Salafist Wahabbism from there. That is its state religion. Thus it routinely oppresses its own minorities like the Shias, Hazaras, Balochis, Christians and Hindus. Sunni radicals routinely massacre them in terrorist attacks.
How come the rest of the world does not confront this poisonous Sunni Wahabbism being spread globally from Saudi Arabia as official policy as a first move? Because they are wealthy, eh?!
Bob says
Possibly because the UN and the Security Council’re both muslim dominated!
Walter Sieruk says
That a teenager is facing blasphemey charges in Pakistan reflects the firm the blind and unquestioning faith in Islam that many Muslims have been brought up and trained to never consider to question or doubt anything about Islam at all.
In classical work of ancient Greek literature, by Plato, entitled THE APOLOGY OF SOCRATES it in written that Socrates had said that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Likewise, in may also be said that “An unexamined religion is not worth believing in.” This is said about all religions. Yet to be specific, in this case, the topic is about the religion of Islam. Furthermore, one man who was as a former a Muslim and had lived in one of the Islamic nations of the Middle East but now he is Christian and an American citizen had explained in a book he wrote that “Driving into depths of the word of reasoned thinking and research in Islamic societies has always been costly. Some Muslim who have done this have even been excluded from their social rights and even sentenced to death.” [1]
[1] ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD by Daniel Shayesteh page 70.
Walter Sieruk says
The only real reason that Muslim nations, as Pakistan, have “blasphemy laws” enacted is because Islam, with its many falsehoods, is such a weak and fragile religion that it can stand up to or hold up to criticism, at all. No matter how very mild those criticisms might be.
billybob says
Get the title: “Christian arrested for blasphemy for criticizing Muhammad”
It’s as predictable as “Dog bites Postman” or “The earth discovered to be round.” or “The Pope is Catholic.”
Like – it is a daily occurrence in Pakistan. It is not news except for those on the Left.
GreytigerTX says
When will people understand that Islam is a fake religion perpertrated by a crooked old pervert with delusions of grandure. Muhammad was not a prophet and there is no documented event to indicate he was. If he did utter a prophesy, there is no proof it came true. He expanded his “religion” by preying on the pathetic ignorance of the arabs of the day. Those he could not hoodwink he converted by threats, intimidation and death. It is doubtful that Gabriel or any other heavenly being would waste their time on such a despicable individual.
