Qutub Rind’s family accuses the police of a coverup. This is a plausible charge, given that Islam mandates death for blasphemy. Death is prescribed for those who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.
These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)
Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad bin Maslama answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)
“Sindhi artist Qutub Rind killed for alleged blasphemy, family claims,” by Rabia Malik, Pakistan Today, August 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
LAHORE: Family of a Sindhi artist Qutub Rind has claimed that he was killed under “false charges of blasphemy” a few days back in Lahore.
Qutub Rind’s uncle, Gul Beg Rind, told Pakistan Today that Rind, a National College of Art (NCA) graduate, along with his two children came to Lahore on July 17 for an art show.
“Qutub had rented out an apartment and had an altercation with the landlord that day,” he said.
“Later at night, the landlord along with two accomplices came to the house and broke Rind’s arms, legs and then pushed him from the third floor of the building,” he added.
Rind later passed away in the hospital due to severe head injuries, according to a medical report.
A friend of Qutub, Hamid Ali, who had registered an FIR [First Information Report], claimed that the suspects confessed to killing Rind for committing ‘blasphemy’.
“As soon as the police caught the suspects, they confessed but later changed their statements,” he further claimed.
Family and friends have accused officials at the Sanda Police Station of not cooperating and covering up the incident….

No need for trials. Mere accusation proves guilt. Anyone can carry out sentence. How civilized.
And to think they have nuclear weapons.
Ren says
Islam is an alibi for murder. I am a muslim, therefore I kill.
Logic&Reason says
Say/depict/write that Islam and its prophet are peaceful and perfect….OR ELSE!
Wonder how long it’ll be before Islam’s votaries and organizations are comfortable with something like a “Monty Python’s Life of Muhammad”…..or a Stone and Parker “The Book of Allah”.
Not holding my breath.

Pakistan: Muslims murder artist over false charges of “blasphemy”
…………………..
This poor man and his family.
Just being an artist is “blasphemy” enough.
God, I hate Islam.
mortimer says
Honor killing is legal in many Muslim countries and lightly punished in others.
ISLAM IS BARBARIC and BACKWARD.
MUSLIMS, IF YOU CAN MURDER A FORMER MUSLIM who SINCERELY didn’t believe it anymore, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD?
