Pakistan’s blasphemy laws provide an ongoing justification for terror against the country’s religious minorities. But no one is committing “Islamophobia,” so international human rights organizations pay little attention.
“Pakistan blasphemy riots: Dozens arrested after Hindu teacher accused,” BBC, September 16, 2019:
Dozens of people have been arrested in Pakistan after a teenager accused his Hindu headteacher of blasphemy, sparking riots.
The principal, who owns the school, was accused of making comments about the Prophet Muhammad in Sindh province.
A large mob then allegedly attacked a Hindu temple, shops and the school in the town of Ghotki on Saturday.
The principal is now in custody facing blasphemy charges. If found guilty, he could face the death penalty.
The rioters have also been charged under the blasphemy act, according to BBC reporters in Pakistan. However, they face a lesser charge of attacking a temple which does not carry the possibility of a death sentence.
Pakistani media reports say 43 people were charged in connection with the attack. A number of others were charged with rioting and theft, Dawn newspaper reports.
“Alleged accused in a sensitive case of Ghotki is now in the custody of police,” Dr Jamil Ahmed, the additional inspector general of the local police force, tweeted….

WHAT IS HISBAH ??? Anyone ???
Under Islamic law, the accusation of blasphemy is all it takes. No trial is necessary. Islam’s vigilante mobs are authorized by Sharia law to execute blasphemers without a trial or verdict by a lawfully appointed judge in a lawfully constituted court. No, Sharia law skips all those pesky steps and the Sharia mob (called ‘hisbah’) can proceed directly from the accusation of blasphemy to the murder of the blasphemy.
Sharia law says:
“There is no indemnity (blood money) obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
“We have already discussed killing the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. the sentence is execution)- from Sharia law manual, “Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa”, Volume No.2, Page No. 27
The Koranic scriptural defense of the above is the following:
– K.33.61 – “They shall have a curse on them. Wherever they are found, they are seized and slain.”
Mohammed himself commanded:
– A’li ibn Abi Talib reported that Nabi (saw) said “Whoever curses a prophet kill him. Whoever curses my companions beat him.” (TABARAANI, DARAQUTNI)
Pakistani Muslim fanatics are using the blasphemy law as an excuse to ethnically cleanse religious minorities from Pakistan and to steal their property from them.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Hisbah. I like it. A legal code like Shariah certainly earns the right to have the occasional angry mob; this helps keep things enforced.
Pakistan is America’s ally. Of a queer sort. So much is make believe, and Islam is all make believe. There’s no denying that Moslems really really believe, and do it with a vengeance. It’s something to see America not even lay on them a rhetorical hand, hands off it is. Freedom.

Yes–just rumors are enough in Islam. Blasphemy laws are unjust to begin with, but also mean that false accusations will be rife.

Kinda take you back to the witch hunts of the middle ages. And these cretins wonder why we call them backward and barbaric.
DHazard says
Muhammad must have felt very comfortable with his ability to deceive anyone, anytime, anywhere. Enough so that he placed himself a notch above the average human being by putting himself on par with Allah, at least when it comes to blasphemy. And it’s these especially narcissistic Quranic verses that continue to demand bloodshed in the minds of many Muslims. And in light of “mortimer”s explaining the way a Muslim mob can act on it’s own with Allah’s approval then it takes no mental gymnastics to turn a lynch mob into the “Muslim Justice League”.
mortimer says
Well seen, DH. The Islamic Justice League is the hisbah on steroids and the ability to fly more than the 9-11 flyers.
David Grisez says
This Pakistan Blasphemy Law is is basically an excuse for Muslims in Pakistan to murder and eliminate Non Muslims. This shows that Islam is a murderous system that murders those who are not Muslims.

Exactly so, David.

Pakistan: Muslims riot, attack Hindu temple, school and shops over claims that school principal blasphemed Muhammad
………………………
Likely this rumor was started because Muslims hate Hindus, or else want to seize that temple and school land, or just have a chance to pillage the Hindus’ homes. Will the Pakistani authorities do anything to stop this? Don’t count on it. They will probably arrest the school principal instead.

Actually, I see that the school principal has *already* been arrested.
God, I hate Islam.
Joe says
Or, it could have been from the student demanding, “Give me an ‘A’ or I’ll accuse of blasphemy.”
gravenimage says
If there are Muslim students there, this might be the case. We’ve seen Muslim students threaten Infidel teachers and principals before.
Faqir Hussain says
Since most muslims are absolutely certain that the Qur’an contains all the scientific principles, with due respect, I earnestly request anyone to show a verse, just a single verse in the Qur’an that states that the earth moves round the sun; or that the earth rotates on its own axis, at the least. ‘I shall accept all your contentions, for sure, if you can show me such a verse’. The Arabic word for earth is ‘Ard’ and the Arabic word for rotation is ‘Falak’. ‘Please show a just a single verse in the Qur’an that uses the two words ‘Ard’ and ‘Falak’ side by side’
If the holy books are the only source of knowledge, then stagnation will result in the society like what has happened in the Muslim majority countries, where the society has turned into a static state in its conscience and thinking, creativity would be replaced by superstition, un-productiveness, narrow-looking attitude, illiteracy and foolishness.
It will be foolhardy to assume that the so called erudite Islamic scholars making desperate attempts to demonstrate science in ancient scriptures are not aware of those laughable verses. Surely, they are very much aware of them (verses). With full knowledge, they deliberately confuse the gullible people to have full control over them.
Indeed, today, this is the reality of Muslim countries—a society that is on a journey riding a strange camel to fit with religion! In this age of supreme advancement of science, when the chain of religion is gradually being loosened elsewhere, when the humanity has every doubt and skepticism about religion, a relentless effort is mounted to perpetuate the religion-based sheer exploitation of the gullible devotees by brainwashing them. It is a very clever strategy, no doubt—repackaging religion in modern science. It is a kind of drug and many people are hooked on it. Under the morbid influence of such a powerful narcotic, people have really started to believe that the 1400 years old scripture do augment the theory of ‘‘Big-Bang’’ or the concept of time dilation is really contained in some verses of those ancient scriptures. What a pity! What a catastrophe! Who will free these nations of fools obsessed with religion?

Who are the idiot announcers in this video? Stating that Islam is the most science friendly religion, and then turning their criticism back to Christianity. Yep, the Industrial Revolution happened in the Middle East because they are so science friendly. They couldn’t even get their own oil out of the ground without our help.

“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain”
Koran 54 v 1
Who knew the Moon was split in TWO?
{Or the sun sets in a muddy pool:the sun’s diameter is approx 864,000 miles.That must be a pretty big pool..about 1,3 Million Earths would be needed to be the Volume of the sun}
Don’t you think Astronomers in Persia,China,India,Europe might have noticed?
“Hey Wang!Did..did..you see that?The Moon has just split in two..”
That is complete fiction!
You may as well write a story..
“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.The Abdools were out and about groping in the night,groping anything without a hijab…”
BTW Look at “scientific mistakes in the quran” on You Tube:It isn’t just Astronomy.The errors in human Biology are ludicrous:I mean one would expect al LAH to have some rudimentary knowledge about the Anatomy and physiology of human reproductive Biology right?But of course al LAH gets his OWN anatomy wrong with his ONE shin and TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim1827}

What a fool. But yes, seeing these two British tv personalities fall all over themselves with Tu Quoque and ludicrous claims that Islam has always encouraged scientific exploration is repulsive and absurd. In fact, the Muslim world is intellectually stagnant and has little innovation. The reason for this is Islam.

OK so let us try and change these laws and see what happens.

Minister for Minorities Shahbaz Bhatti is the second senior official this year to be assassinated for opposing the blasphemy law. Provincial governor Salman Taseer was shot dead by his own bodyguard in January.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEZE! Got to youtube.com or ~.co.uk & in “Searchbox” type in: The Flat Earth of Ibn Baz. You’ll see this guy on it. It’s the Best 14minutes of TV!! He states it’s impossible for a jet to fly from West to East. & if it could, for it to fly back, to its start point, it would have to continue to fly right around the world. According to Mohammed the Earth is flat & rests on the back of a whale & that rest on another whale & so on. Makes a change from all of them tortoises & turtles!

Yup–you will find that compendium of jaw-dropping ignorance here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nJf2PgVOYU
While one needs at least a bit of scientific knowledge to understand the concept that the earth rotates around the sun, anyone with a credit card and access to an airport can easily prove to themselves that the world is not flat and that you can fly around it.
One of the funniest bits is Zakir Naik, who does–kinda sorta–affirm that the world is round, but says that the first to sail around the globe was Sir Francis Drake, in 1577. Of course, he’s got the wrong guy, and the wrong date.
Muslim “scholars” are a bunch of clowns.

So, Prime Minister Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi, what was it that you were saying again about India being Nazi Germany and Modi being Hitler? Within a bunch of weeks, we’ve had cases of a Sikh, Hindu and then a Christian schoolgirls being kidnapped and married into Muslim families, thereby being effectively converted. And now this.
Wonder whether Prime Minister Modi can send Imran Khan’s biggest fan – fellow cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu – to convince him that such things don’t help his cause. If the latter gets rebuffed, he can open his eyes about what sort of a country Fuckistan really is!
