[Genghis khan1]

Rimsha Masih the girl from Islamabad who had flee to canada,gojra,francis,shangla the colonies that were burned down,radhay kishan where a couple was burnt alive google them

What happens in USA not my concern

It does concern your perception of a good judicial system, like an average Pakistani.
What colonies and mob killing some poor couple has to do with blasphemy law. My question was, how many of them ever got punished? You are highlighting a non-existent problem while ignore the dead elephant in front of you which is Pakistan overall judicial system. I know this concerns you.

I condemn his murder, but not his actions. He did make the mistake.

I don't know much about this guy honestly though i was in lahore when this happened some ppl say he was corrupt to the core but the thing is he was murdered in front of many ppl and he deserve justice no matter what that molvi should be hanged iirc he was trying to protect a girl right? @Zibago

Flower get Pluck....when it opens it Mouth
.
Salman Taseer can contemplate better words to utter for such a sensitive issue.....
.
But iam of the view he was not a corrupt man....although he hangs around with Zardari/Rahman malik type of filth but he was Intelligent & self made millionaire ....Allah knows better

The likes of Mumtaz Qadri are heroes to the younger generation of Pakistanis

This is an undeniable sad fact

And exactly why the future for this country is very very bleak

Irony of today is u speak for minorities hindu's christians shia's ahmedi's u r labeled National Hero/Progressive/Rightist, but if u talk about majority's right u Mullah/Jahadi/Albakistani. Unless this issue is not addressed there will be no peace. If minorities have so do majority has.

Hon sir,

If anyone is really guilty of blasphemy against our holy prophet; by all means punish him/her in accordance with Pakistan Law.

Point in question here is that no individual has the right to be judge and jury and executioner because in his opinion someone has been guilty of blasphemy. Only the state has the right to take life of an enemy of the state, Mumtaz Qadri on the other hand murdered the person he was supposed to guard without going thru legal process! You on the other hand are saying that minorities are trying to impose on majority?

Did anyone directly or indirectly imply that majority has to do what minority says? The issue you speak of is not real but only exists in the mind of a section of society. There is not a single instance where Hindus or Christian or any other minority tried to impose their will on the majority.

This post belies logic and is a reflection of the mid-set that condones burning of Christian villages and Qadiani mosques on mere suspicion. However, ever since my zealot countrymen burnt down US Embassy in Islamabad in November 1979 on the rumour that some people had taken over Kaaba; when in reality a Saudi citizen Juhayman al Otaby and his followers had seized the Grand Mosque; I am not altogether surprised by people who assume that rumours are absolute truths without bothering to find out the facts.

@Zibago I am extremely glad that someone actually mentions him as a Hero. But calling zarvan to the thread is simply baiting. He is definitely going to be apologetic to the cause of the killer of this sensible human being.

@Genghis khan1 - first of all, your stats to measure "how Blasphemy law affects minorties" is wrong. A fraction of the population is affected because there is only a fraction of Minorities in Pakistan. And it does not matter how many people are affected by that law. If it is being used for wrong means to target even one person, there needs to b a way to repeal or change the law to prevent such stuff.

Respected Brother,

Yes i agree its upto the Courts for trials and give verdict, but what if there is a flaw in a system itself. When this incident happen i was watching a television where some lawyers were complaining they went multiple times to file case against salman taseer but it was again n again rejected as he enjoyed immunity being a Governor. So how will people trust such courts when u can't even file a complain let the trial aside.

This case is not exactly the same but it is close to charlie hebdo case. When people loose trust they take laws in their own hand. Too me weak laws are primarily responsible for such acts and secondly one who commit it.

It's an open secret that Pakistani law enforcement engages in numerous extrajudicial executions: link.

Let the hypocrites bark on this thread, he died for a cause and for the oppressed. My prayers are with Salman Taseer Shaheed.
I remember when Ahmadi mosques were atacked, he was the only politician who came to our mosques and gave us his support. He also stooped up for a poor Christian girl. I pray that his son is recovered from kidnappers safely.

Let the hypocrite Pakistanis hate you but all the minorities of Pakistan salute you and pray for your soul.

I have no sympathy for the elite & liberals of Pakistan. They are perhaps the most corrupt strata of Pakistani society. I've seen their behavior. Their lifestyle is no different to that of the wealthy Saudi princes who get drunk and sleep with whores, engage in the most degenerate and corrupt form of living, yet pretend to be moral and righteous. Pakistani liberals are also the most arrogant and snobbiest. They think they are better than the rest just because they come from privileged class of society. They look down on the common man. They are the ones who promote extremism to further their own interests but when their pet terrorists turn on them they blame religion for all their woes. Good thing 90% of Pakistanis don't share their filthy outlook on life.

I salute the man.
He fought the evil against such great odds.

Other than questioning the laws, did Salman Taseer also provide proof that the accused was innocent? INMHO he lacked wisdom and misused his designation to voice something which he couldn't even back. If the case was pending in the court, he should have waited for the court's decision prior to acting as the "savior of minorities" Just because there are minorities doesn't mean they don't break laws and that is why to ascertain who is innocent or guilty we have judiciary. When you hold an important government designation you are bound by certain constraints, which clearly he never even realized.
