Pakistan: Muslim sends Christian teens image of Muhammad, police arrest the Christians for blasphemy

Jul 8, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“According to FIR #353/19, registered at the Bahawalnagar police station, Mushtaq and Asghar have been accused of receiving blasphemous sketches of the Prophet Muhammad on their WhatsApp numbers. Police reportedly recovered printouts of the blasphemous sketches from Mushtaq. However, Mushtaq’s family denies the allegation, stating, ‘The police have generated this story against Sunny.’ ICC’s local sources have confirmed that Mushtaq and Asghar did receive a blasphemous sketch on their smartphones. However, the sketch was sent by Bilal Ahmad, a Muslim. To date, police have not taken any action against Ahmad, the sender of the blasphemous image.”

The vicious bias against the Christians here is plain, but since there is no “Islamophobia” involved, the international “human rights community” will take no notice.

“Two Christian Teenagers Charged with Blasphemy in Pakistan,” International Christian Concern, July 5, 2019:

07/05/2019 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that two Christian teenagers have been arrested and charged with committing blasphemy against Islam in Pakistan’s Punjab province. According to relatives of the accused, local police in Bahawalnagar have generated the deadly accusation against the Christians.

On June 29, 2019, Sunny Mushtaq, age 19, and Noman Asghar, age 17, left home in the evening to play cricket and never returned home. When the family inquired about the missing teens, they were informed by friends of Mushtaq and Asghar that police had arrested the pair “under some allegation.”

According to FIR #353/19, registered at the Bahawalnagar police station, Mushtaq and Asghar have been accused of receiving blasphemous sketches of the Prophet Muhammad on their WhatsApp numbers. Police reportedly recovered printouts of the blasphemous sketches from Mushtaq. However, Mushtaq’s family denies the allegation, stating, “The police have generated this story against Sunny.”

ICC’s local sources have confirmed that Mushtaq and Asghar did receive a blasphemous sketch on their smartphones. However, the sketch was sent by Bilal Ahmad, a Muslim. To date, police have not taken any action against Ahmad, the sender of the blasphemous image.

“Sunny is very popular in the locality because of his outstanding performances playing cricket,” Raza Mushtaq, Sunny Mushtaq’s brother, told ICC. “However, he often complained of being mistreated by Muslim players. Because of this, we used to suggest that he quit playing cricket. I even had to quit playing cricket with Muslims years back because I was experiencing the same.”

“This is another example of misuse of the blasphemy laws to settle personal scores against Christians,” Yousaf Gill, Director of Umeed Partnership Pakistan, told ICC. “For many years, human right defenders have been highlighting the misuse of blasphemy laws. However, authorities have not paid any attention and therefore Christians are suffering.”…

    The problem with Pak. Christians is that they are holding on to their faith in Jesus
    as well as meagre land or house (which they got working like slaves).

    Neither is acceptable to the ‘superior’ people in the ‘land of pure’ [ paki= pure, stan=place]

    Many atrocities based on ‘blasphemy’ go unreported by MSM.

    I’d be genuinely surprised if they did…

    Pakistan is one of the most bigoted countries in the world and the most porn-addicted countries in the world. Is there a link between the two? … yes … the two issues are a direct result of Islamic teachings.

    I have noted that there are many Pakistani doctors working in our hospitals, yet our own medical schools have so overpriced tuition it is not possible for any but the very rich Americans to become doctors. Therefore we import foreign doctors, many from the Middle East to take the place of an American who might be a brilliant doctor but who could not scrape up a half million dollars. I don’t like Pakistani doctors which is my right but soon I fear we will not have no choice. The example given here, of Pakistanis framing Christians is typical of their mindset. While they might feel superior, they are inferior as doctors in whose hands we place our lives.

    Those Christians of Pakistan who were arrested by the police for “blasphemy” because of the Muslim “blasphemy laws” of that country is very revealing about how little scrutiny and tolerate.

    This also shows that 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.

  7. Walter Sieruk says

    Jul 8, 2019 at 2:43 pm

    The arrest of those Christians under Pakistan’s “blasphemy laws” serves as a reminder of the wisdom of the need to examine idea’s and beliefs which also includes examining a religion.

    For 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]

    The ugly side of blasphemy laws is that inevitably they become tools of personal vengeance and envy. What’s to stop some random Muslim from doing this to other Christians? But if you call for restrictions of the blasphemy laws in Pakistan you are accused of blasphemy; Islamic logic.

    Anything to persecute the Lord’s people. The Christians have little hope of acquittal. I hope Jeremy Hunt finds out about him

    This just goes to show even further why all non-Muslims in Pakistan (such as Christians, Hindus and Sikhs), should immediately try to move to India or the West.

      Agree–sadly, there is no future for any non-Muslim in Pakistan.

    Pakistan: Muslim sends Christian teens image of Muhammad, police arrest the Christians for blasphemy
    ……………….

    Sounds like the motive here was jealousy, since one of the victims is such a good cricket player. This kind of thing is incredibly common in the Muslim world.

    God, I hate Islam.

    muslim apologists will try to fiddle the Arabic to hide this.

    “The United States has poured billions of
    dollars into Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts…

    Much of the money went to buy conventional
    military equipment for the constant struggle
    with India, and thus did little to help
    Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda or other jihadists.

    Corrupt officials siphoned off much of the
    aid, and the money did not significantly
    improve Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:

    Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
    terrorism is like expecting the KKK to fight
    for the civil rights of African-Americans.

    Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
    terrorism is like expecting neo-Nazis to fight
    for the civil rights of Jews.

    Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
    terrorism is totally irrational and illogical.

    The Islamic terror state repaid us by
    harboring Osama bin Laden and aiding
    Islamic terrorists killing American soldiers.

    This year, President Trump made drastic cuts
    to foreign aid to Pakistan after tweeting:

    “The United States has foolishly given
    Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars
    in aid over the last 15 years, and they
    have given us nothing but lies & deceit,
    thinking of our leaders as fools.”
