“A man with an intellectual disability, who had earlier been sentenced under a blasphemy charge but later acquitted due to his condition, was killed in Tando Adam.” Atta Muhammad Buriro was executed by two village men.
According to Amnesty International:
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are often used against religious minorities and others who are the target of false accusations, while emboldening vigilantes prepared to threaten or kill the accused, a new Amnesty International report says today.
Pakistan’s cruel blasphemy laws have been expanding to include social media; there is a global trend to impose the sharia principles of blasphemy upon all nations. Already, anyone who offends Islam in the West is subjected to punitive measures, ranging from threats and lawfare to full-blown jihadi attacks, such as the massacre of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists.
In March, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif “ordered that ‘blasphemous’ content on social media websites be removed or blocked and those posting such material be ‘strictly punished’.” By the end of that month, the Islamabad High court “issued a short order on a petition seeking elimination of blasphemous content from social media.” Then in May, a 13-year-old boy was killed in a Pakistani city when a major riot broke out as a mob hunted down a 35-year-old Hindu man who was arrested for allegedly sending blasphemous content over WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, Muslim nations have been pushing for international blasphemy laws “that would criminalize religious defamation.” Since 1999, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation “has sought to include the issue of religious defamation in UN Human Rights Council resolutions,” and has been driving an “anti-Islamophobia” agenda to that purpose.
“Tando Adam man with intellectual disability killed on accusation of blasphemy”, by Hanif Samoon”, Dawn (thanks to The Religion of Peace), August 11, 2017:
A man with an intellectual disability, who had earlier been sentenced under a blasphemy charge but later acquitted due to his condition, was killed in Tando Adam on Friday, police said.
The 32-year-old, Atta Mohammad Buriro, was shot dead in the Kamal Buriro village near Tando Adam town.
Later in the evening, two attackers surrendered themselves to police and confessed to having killed Atta Mohammad “because he had committed blasphemy”.
A police official confirmed the arrest of the two self-proclaimed killers, but told local reporters that they were investigating the murder from different angles.
Sharing details of the incident, the official said that the victim, who had only recently been released from captivity, had been bathing at an irrigation watercourse when two pillion riders shot at him, killing him on the spot.
His body had been handed over to relatives after a postmortem examination.
Talking to media persons, SSP Dr Farrukh Lanjhar said the victim was under the trial of blasphemy charges and was released on a bail in the light of a medical report which declared him intellectual disable.
The slain individual, according to police officials, had been booked under Section 295 C on Nov 28, 2012, on the complaint of a local lawyer, Altaf Hussain Junejo…..

There is no reasonable hope that these backward, ignorant, superstitious, violent, unreasonable savages will ever be able to live in a civilized country. Bringing them into one is insane.

So true. …and Merkel wants to bring in more?! Europe is doomed.

You’re absolutely right, it’s over for Europe

– Meanwhile, Muslim nations have been pushing for international blasphemy laws “that would criminalize religious defamation.” –
If that is implemented Islam should be the first thing to be criminalized since no greater religious defamation of human beings exists in the world today, if else turning people into mechanical puppets and reciting parrots counts as defamation – not to speak about turning people into terrorists and suicide bombers.
Westman says
Altaf Hussain Junejo, another Pakistani scumbag lawyer, sets out to kill a disabled man with Sharia and succeeds. Isn’t this the way of Islam? Using laws as weapons instead of deterrents?
Muslims can’t get along with Hindus, so Pakistan is carved out of India by Muslim demand. Millions die in genocides. Pakistani Muslims can’t get along with Muslims, so Bangladesh is carved out of Pakistan. Millions die. Pakistani Muslims demand control of Kashmir and there are decades of periodic fighting between Pakistan and India in Kashmir. Thousands die. Both countries nuke up. What do you suppose comes next?

Pakistan: Muslims shoot mentally disabled man to death for blasphemy
………………….
God, I hate Islam.
Gary says
Yes. Evil to the core.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Yeah.
But remember: Killing this poor man is pleasing to the prophet (pee be upon him).
Voytek Gagalka says
If this would be different world, if the leaders in the west would have the guts to condemn such atrocities and act on their condemnation, all “humanitarian” help from our governments to such countries like Pakistan should stop at once with harsh demand attached that unless and until all so called “blasphemy” laws are not removed, NO HELP will be resumed again to them, even if they’ll starve. Plus international sanctions should be imposed on those countries until such removal be carried out to its successful conclusion. Only then we could hope to amend their social behavior, perhaps one day.
mortimer says
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.
Linda Sarsour wants NORMATIVE SHARIA which requires BLASPHEMY EXECUTIONS.
Normal Muslims (not ‘extremists’) believe that BLASPHEMY EXECUTIONS are normative Islam, because they are said to be so in Sharia law.
Linda Sarsour and her friends want beheadings in Times Square. That’s your bottom line.

two mentally sick people shoot a mentally disabled man..

This brings to mind the wry comment Churchill made about Germans trying to assassinate Hitler ” the more that kill each other, the better.”

“Stop killing in the name of islam”
But… allah himself… sanctions the murder of infidels in k2:191 in his koran and in the name of islam.
How about muslims learn to…
1)Stop following the warped teachings of allah in his koran.
{allah sanctions mass murder of infidels,polygamy,sexual slavery of women,lying stealing etc..ALL of which are clearly condemned by God’s Original Commandments!}
2)Stop following the murderous example of the “prophet” muhammed.That is not the example any morally good person should attempt to emulate!
Obey God’s Original Commandments instead..
{Thou shalt not kill,lie,steal,commit adultery..}
So..No murdering infidels,no abusing women,no taqqiya lying…if you follow God(and not allah)
How hard is it for muslims to understand that if allah teaches things contrary to God’s Original commandments in his koran -as he clearly does-then allah is WRONG?
How hard is it for muslims to understand that following the example of muhammed {a life lived at odds with God’s Original Commandments} is WRONG?
How hard is it to see that allah is NOT the same as God but in fact is a gross misrepresentation of God:Just look at those crystal-clear Original Commandments.
Does allah say you should obey them?No!
allah twists them to suit muslims.. but God’s original Commandments cannot be twisted in any way so that they can be broken.
God did not say “Thou shalt not kill….but you are free to murder infidels”,”Thou shalt not commit adultery…except withan enslaved woman”….but that’s what allah does..
What allah says is in OPPOSITION to God’s Laws.

Muslim mentality so like the Nazi model……
