“The suspect had killed the man after accusing him of committing blasphemy against companions of the Holy Prophet,” which is a classic allegation that Sunnis make against Shi’ites, since Shi’ites reject the first three caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, as illegitimate pretenders to the position that Ali Ibn Abi Talib rightly held.
In any case, Taqi Shah was hacked to death. In the West, we are not quite up to that stage. At this point we have officials apologizing for “blasphemy” against Islam and punishing the “blasphemer” with suspension. The death penalty will come later.
“Man axed to death over blasphemy allegations in Punjab’s Jhang,” by Imran Gabol, Dawn, March 26, 2021:
A man was axed to death on Wednesday over allegations of blasphemy in Punjab’s Jhang district, it emerged on Friday.
Police said Taqi Shah, a religious scholar from the Shia community, and his friend Hasnain Shah, were roaming a local mela (festival) in Basti Murad of Shorkot tehsil on March 24 when they were attacked by a man on foot.
Taqi, who was on a motorcycle, lost his balance and fell on the road upon which the attacker axed him (Taqi) to death, according to police. His friend Hasnain remained safe in the incident and is a witness in the case….
Jhang District Police Officer (DPO) Sarfraz Virk told Dawn the victim was also facing charges of committing blasphemy against the companions of the Prophet in a court. The blasphemy case against him was registered in 2019.
Police have registered a murder case against three suspects including one identified man and two unidentified persons at Shorkot City police station on the complaint of a family member of the deceased.
The complainant alleged that the victim was killed by the primary suspect after developing a dispute with him “while playing volleyball”.
Investigation Officer Tariq Mehmood said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening and was presented before a magistrate who sent him to jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
He said the suspect and the victim had engaged in a quarrel while playing volleyball some days ago and the matter had been resolved at the time.
However, the suspect later developed a grudge against Taqi and attacked him with an axe and killed him.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer told Dawn that the suspect had killed the man after accusing him of committing blasphemy against companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
He said the suspect and the victim had also developed a dispute over playing volleyball some days ago. “The suspect in his statement confessed to have killed the victim, Taqi Shah, over blasphemy allegations,” the officer added….

About BC1500 thousand years or more years after creation, God brought a flood to the earth.
He was sorry He had made man is what the Bible records in Genesis 6.
Imagine taking God’s breath away from Him.
Of the roughly two billion lives on the earth, only eight lived.
The sentiment that brought on the flood was the likes of these cretins before their future link.
They sickened God. He had made provision for the most perverse, but when it manifest, it took his breath.
This brings me to a God-formula. An equation God gives us in 2 Peters and Psa. 90. One day is as a thousand years.
So, in light of this estimation, if there were only eight to survive out of two billion, and today we have roughly eight billion on the earth– is there any possible probability that apart from some cosmic act or acts of God, we could expect only 32 people to survive another purging minus a destroyed world?

So Im guessing the old children’s cry of ” Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me”… has no room within this Fascist Religious Cult followed by weak men who seem to get their wee feelings hurt all the bloody time.
No wonder they prefer the love of a friendly, or not so friendly, Goat, for a wee bit of shagging in the afternoon rather than the love of a real woman, or man, in the evening.
islam is just another for Satan.
