Pakistan should have made example out of Mumtaz Qadri, that "vigilantes" don't get to decide if someone is a blasphemer or not. But that didn't happen, he got decorated and showered with praise and love.

I mean even Blasphemy Law is fine, if thats what Pakistanis want then so be it, but once the court has acquitted someone of charges that should be the end of it, these so called vigilantes of Islam should learn to respect that.

It's a consequence of the lax law and order that affects everyone. It's a dereliction of duty by the civilian government.

But, of course, the usual suspects in the media, who never miss an opportunity for sanctimonious point scoring, will be the first to defend these same incompetent politicians.

Go Ahead Sir first person who denies Hadees is accusing me of Blashmey Punishment is death in Islam which only government should implement it and those who are falsely accused should be hanged too so no one dare use this law for his personal biases

If I'm not wrong, the Hadees itself is a very controversial text.

One argument many Muslims give is that when you have the Quran (the supreme book), why should you go for the Hadees?

BTW, did you seriously just say that those who are falsely accused should also be hanged?

Sir Quran contians orders but details are in hadees and also some extra orders because Quran it self says to follow the orders of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD SAW laws are based on both Quran and Hadees

I'm not talking about what the Hadees says.

I'm saying that referring to Hadees, in itself, is incorrect according to many scholars since Quran is the Supreme book and hence Quran and only quran should be followed.

Besides, the authenticity of Hadees is also a subject of many a controversies.

BTW, I'm still seeking your clarification on your statement that even those who are falsely accused should be hanged.

I think he meant to say that those who falsely accuse others of blasphemy should be hanged too, as a deterrence against misuse of the law.
