Can you believe this, I can't.....

[HAIDER]

A 15-year-old Pakistani boy cut off his own hand believing he had committed blasphemy, only to be celebrated by his parents and neighbours for the act, police told AFP Friday.

Local police chief Nausher Ahmed described how an imam told a gathering at a village mosque that those who love the Prophet Mohammad always say their prayers, then asked who among the crowd had stopped praying.

Mohammad Anwar, 15, raised his hand by mistake after apparently mishearing the question.

The crowd swiftly accused him of blasphemy so he went to his house and cut off the hand he had raised, put it on a plate, and presented it to the cleric, the police chief said.

The incident took place at a village in Hujra Shah Muqeem district, some 125 kilometres (77 miles) south of Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, about four days ago, according to the policeman.

Ahmed said that he has seen a video in which the boy is greeted by villagers in the street as his parents proclaim their pride.

No complaint has been made, he said, so no police report has been filed and there will be no investigation.

Blasphemy is a hugely sensitive issue in Pakistan, an Islamic republic of some 200 million, where even unproven allegations frequently stir mob violence and lynchings.

Critics including European governments say the country's blasphemy laws are often misused to settle personal scores.

I did not know there was punishment in Islam for being truthful. Or I think I have read and witnessed some sheer idiocy of people which as usual is labelled as Islam

 

[saiyan0321]

So wait. He actually told the truth and he was berated and called blasphemous. I really didn't get it. What the hell!!!!

The boy told the truth and I really doubt the other standing over there actually pray five times and if they do then somebody tell them they might as well not bcz they were calling somebody who told the truth blasphemous.

Again BS that has no relation towards Islam is being labelled under Islam by senseless people and cleric who quite frankly all deserve to be shot in the streets.

When will this nation gain sense?

 

[Maarkhoor]

News is probably fake check the source, if it happen in reality our media must go crazy for it.

 

[TheNoob]

If this is true.
This is why islam is struggling in this day and age.

People choose to follow clerics, instead of the religion, Put their hopes on these false clerics who havent even passed the first grade, and follow them like its their messiah or something.

This, Plus, The people who do this aren't the actual followers of islam, AT ALL.

Please dont make it a habit to deny any news that makes you uncomfortable. I really wish this is false but it requires serious social intervention. And this news is not from FATA but from south of Lahore, Punjab.

 

[Sipahi]
