Yet another example of the misuse of blasphemy laws, as is noted below. They are all too often used to settle scores, gain an advantage over a Christian rival, exact revenge for a perceived slight, etc.
“Pakistan to hang Christian for ‘blasphemous’ WhatsApp images sent by Muslim,” by Simon Caldwell, Catholic Herald, June 6, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A court in Pakistan has sentenced a Christian to death after he received cartoons of Mohammad, the founder of Islam, in a WhatsApp chat message to his phone.
Nouman Asghar, 24, of Bahawalpur in Punjab, was convicted of blasphemy under 295-c of the country’s Penal Code, which carries the death penalty.
According to Fides news agency, he and his family argued that the drawings of Mohammad were sent to him by Bilal Ahmad, a young Muslim whom the police did not arrest.
The same drawings were also sent via WhatsApp, a social media platform, to Sunny Mushtaq, the Christian cousin of Ashghar, who is awaiting sentencing for blasphemy from the same Bahawalpur Magistrates Court.
Trainee Sub-Inspector Fraz Ahmed of the Faqirwali Police Station in Bahawalnagar said the pair were arrested in July 2019 after he received “secret information” that Mushtaq had printed the sketches and was showing them to other people.
Aneeqa Maria Anthony, a lawyer from The Voice legal group which is supporting the pair, said he was disappointed by the sentencing of Asghar.
He said: “The magistrate ignored all the procedures and dismissed all the evidence in favour of the accused.
“He only wanted to complete his ‘sacred duty’ to punish an alleged blasphemer,” he told Fides news agency.
“We expect the same fate for Sunny Mushtaq. They were arrested for a teenage game. Their families are suffering greatly.
“Our legal team at The Voice is doing everything necessary to grant them justice, helping their families and standing by their side in these dark and difficult times.”
Mr Anthony described the prosecution of the two men as “another example of the misuse of blasphemy laws” under which scores of Christians have been prosecuted, often following fabricated allegations….
Pakistan ranked seventh on Open Doors’ 2023 list of the world’s most dangerous places to be a Christian, up from eighth the previous year.

It is not possible to “blaspheme” the filthy scum of islam.
mozlums use every evil device to murder Christians and pakis are some of the worst on earth for scamming, lying and carrying out their lust to murder.
It matters not that the Christians are innocent. In pakistan, there is no justice, no fairness in law. and islam’s lawlessness is used to take everything a Christian has…jobs, land, lives.
islam, straight from satan the devil and headed for the same Judgment.
tim gallagher says
islam is the devil’s own alright, somehistory. Any human being should be able to see how evil this treatment of this man in Pakistan is. So many of the pakistanis seem to be evil monsters of the type that islam creates in such huge numbers. Pakistan would be a hell on earth for any non-Muslims.
somehistory says
Yes, Tim, any who don’t see how evil islam is, and what monsters it turns out to do infinite harm to others, either don’t want to see, want to use that evil for their own evil, or they are a part of islam.
somehistory says
Tim, it seems that some are so blind, they even claim their ‘own’ mozlums, as if there can be a distinction between pakis and those in the U.S. when they all learn and obey the same demonic commands..
I see the evil, the lawlessness, and say that none of this is “mine.”
I know you must feel the same.
PRCS says
Yes, somehistory. Some are so blind.
Not much we can do about Islam–over there.
But, as I said, we can challenge Muslims in the U.S.–(i.e. our Muslims) to denounce Islam’s barbaric laws.
Surely you would support that, eh?
tim gallagher says
As I said in my comment down below, somehistory, it does annoy me that Muslims, who, whenever they have power in a country, treat any non-members of their evil religion, appallingly, as in the example of this poor Christian, are treated well when they invade non-Muslim western countries. i t is hard to see things changing, but Muslims do deserve to be treated in the disgusting way that they always treat non-Muslims. islam is rotten to the core. It has an evil version of god, its ideal man, Muhammad, was a vile person. As you say, islam is satanically evil in so many ways. What a better world it would be if islam would die. With its billion members, I guess islaam will go on poisoning the human race for ages.
somehistory says
Tim, Jesus gave the best guide for how to treat fellow humans. If mozlums were treated according to how they treat others, if treating others with hatred and disrespect is how they want to be treated….according to the Golden Rule, then they would get murdered, raped, disrespected, lied to, lied about, and extorted, among other things.
islam is a giant rotten tree producing rotten fruit and every devout mozlum shows the rest of us just how rotten their belief system is.
It won’t just *die out,* but as Jesus said about rotten trees, “it will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
PRCS says
“Jesus gave the best guide for how to treat fellow humans.”
Was demeaning the physical appearance of fellow humans addressed in his guide?
PRCS says
“It is not possible to “blaspheme” the filthy scum of islam.”
YOU may not believe it’s possible, but a billion+ Muslims do, and Muslims are going to hang that man in accordance with their laws–in a Muslim nation. We have to accept that and to challenge ‘our’ Muslims to denounce that.
Fitna says
Ever wonder what the world would look like if mentally ill people were in charge of everything? Just look at any Islamic country.
By their argument, if I emailed the judge, lawyers and all Muslims with the same photo, then they have committed blasphemy and must be executed.
Bunch of freaking lunatics and oxygen thieves. Islam just proves over and over, how this death cult should be eliminated for the danger it presents to all of humanity.
I recall Sam Harris once stating that if ISIS or AQ took over Pakistan (or any nuclear powered Islamic state) then it is logical to nuke them before they nuke us…he got a lot of hate and flak for saying that, but was he wrong? Obviously not.
Meanwhile our traitorous ruling classes are allowing more and more Muslims to gain positions of power and influence over us, essentially digging our own graves.
tim gallagher says
I agree, Fitna. islam is full of endless lunacy of the nastiest kind. What a primitive load of crap islam is in so many ways. what a better and more peaceful world it would be if islam became extinct.
Fitna says
Thanks Tim, indeed Islam needs to go…will respond to your post below.
Keith Back says
I very much agree. I don’t come in to contact with many Muslims other than in the health service. However I read stories in the press and on social media highlighting their gradual take over. We no have Muslim politicians, mayor’s and councillors in the UK. While Muslims make up a very small majority they now command political and social power that adversely effects the UK’s majority. Ultimately they will be allowed to take over while our Government are blind to the situation. Should anyone speak out they are silenced by being labelled racists.
The situation makes my blood boil
PRCS says
As with your country and mine, Keith, we get what our friends and neighbors–as a whole–vote for.
A while back, I asked an Edmonton, Alberta resident how Canada had become so liberal. His reply: votes from less populated, more conservative provinces, cities and towns are numerically overwhelmed by those from more populated, more liberal provinces, cities and towns.
No surprise there.
tim gallagher says
Anywhere that islam is in power, non-Muslims are treated like crap. It annoys me that, in western countries Muslims are treated well. The followers of islam, this vicious and intolerant load of garbage and clear enemy of our western lifestyle,, do not deserve to be treated well while they continue to treat non-Muslims, such as this Christian man, so appallingly. Basic islam is full of so much hatred for all non-Muslims. Muslims should be shut out of non-Muslim countries and also given some of their own vicious, hate-filled treatment when they invade non-Muslim countries. Maybe they would stay at home in their backward, primitive Muslim countries then and leave the civilised world alone. Muslims are treated too well by the far too nice western countries and therefore they will continue invading those countries.
Fitna says
You’re exactly right Tim. The real problem is that most people in the West have no idea how barbaric, hateful and intolerant Muslims are towards us non-Muslims.
When they do know, they usually cover-up and lie for it…and censor the information so the population doesn’t find out about how bad Muslims really are.
I heard they think they’re trying to prevent a global war, what a stupid idea. So then non-Muslims must be sacrificed at the altar of political correctness to prevent us from defeating the people that are persecuting us?
I think in time we will slowly learn, esp with more terrorism, rapes, criminal activity by the Muslim community. Only then will we realize we’ve been lied to for decades.
I also believe the traitors who’ve been hiding this truth need to be fined/jailed for aiding this enemy ideology.
The worst is still yet to come as their numbers continue to skyrocket in western nations and as they rove around in terrifying gangs preying on women/kids elderly and lone males. I hope there is a backlash but I doubt we’ll see anything until the situation becomes very dire.
I give it a good 20 years till they become a problem that cannot be ignored by anyone in the West any longer. That will be the real turning point, either we’ll fight for our freedoms or we’ll cave to Islamification.
tim gallagher says
Yes, we see islam in the same, I would say truthful, way, Fitna. I do hope that even the slowest learners do wake the hell up and see islam as the evil blight it is, a barbaric throwback of a religious ideology, and, if it comes about in 20 years, well that would be a good result. Here’s hoping that it will happen even more quickly than that. There is definitely a huge problem developing for all western countries that keep letting Muslims in as they breed at a far higher rate than other people in those countries and, once their numbers have built up, they will begin to try to take over and impose barbaric islam on everybody.
James Lincoln says
Fitna says,
“I give it a good 20 years till they become a problem that cannot be ignored by anyone in the West any longer.”
Yes, although some Western countries may reach a tipping point before that.
Hudders says
This is a snapshot of much of the UK, in about 10 years; if the islamification that has manifested and infested so obviously, is not stopped, halted, arrested and then removed asap.
Lamposts will have grim sick blasphely offerings to that devilish death cult islam, swingly, twisting and rotting in the breeze.
And Christians will be hunted for sport.
Merciful Lord in Heaven help us to help ourselves now!
David M says
Politicians selling us out are the scum of the earth, & they should be the ones hanging from the gallows. All wars should also be fought by the politicians who start the wars & not the average joe, see how many wars are started then.
martin infidal says
Its how they end up with a 98% mozzie demographic ! It’s well on it’s way to the same in Europe and the USA, Canada etc etc… look at how many countries are heading towards 100% islam it should run a chill down everyone’s spine ! But alas too many apologist fools think we hat “brown” people !
RG says
Terrible but not surprising. By the way where’s Tony Perkins who’s constantly complaining about how terrible next door Hindu India is towards Christians?
Pray Hard says
Death to islam.
