How mindless, bigoted and ignorant (jaahil) a person has to be to rant against a law that was not even used.
Why the hostility in your post? Just because I am a liberal. Isn't it on the basis of this law that people are emboldened and ready to act as vigilantes? It provides legal cover to all sorts of fanatics. Also the law has another effect. It gives legitimacy to the very idea that a person should be killed for blasphemy when the prophet never ever killed anyone who blasphemed (When all of Mecca did, not to add Taif which showered him with stones.) You and people like you have a problem of unwarranted emotionalism and thekedari of the religion. You may never understand the true message of Islam. When have I ever expressed anti Islamic sentiment?
I am not supporting blasphemy here, no one in his right mind would but there is no need of this law. The focus should be and has to be on winning people towards Islam with love and respect. It is ultimately the only way to give a message positive towards Islam.
Was blasphemy law used in this case?
This is a hilarious defence sir. Thousands of people are in jails over falsely being accused of blasphemy.
I respected you but you are being needlessly hostile. The first step towards solving any problem is debate (which is called ijtehad)... during this debate no one has the right to believe he is superior to the other and you are calling me names here.
Wasn't the grounds for killing Mashal unfounded claims of blasphemy? Implementation of this law is nil, people, innocent people are framed on false charges to take their land, an 80+ year old of the Orangi town project is still in jail over false accusations of blasphemy and you do not see a problem here?
An estimated number of 1,274 people have been charged under the stringent blasphemy laws of Pakistan between 1986, from when they were included in the Constitution by General Zia ul Haq, until 2010.
Can you or any of the pseudo-liberal on this forum answer this question honestly for once in your / their life?
I am a nationalist and a thinker. If a law gives cover to all forms of terrorism, albeit in the guise of a difficult topic, blasphemy then I will surely oppose it. I will not try to repeal the law until there is widespread support but at least there have to be conditions for false accusations or against the insulting of Hindus and Christians, which also happens. So far people have only been arrested for blasphemy against Islam except the select case of slippers/sandals being pulled off market for having hindu symbols.
Only a schizophrenic maniac will mix the stupidity of some and the law and we totally condemn this targeted killing of an innocent by the libro-fascist supporters of ANP: the students and the university management.
Condemnation isn't enough. Is it not imperative that this never happens to anyone ever again in his entire lifetime?
As for ANP I have no support for it in my heart. I also want action against the PTI counseller who threatened people to stay quiet about who shot Mashal as well as demanded an oath from the mullahs who lynched him not to reveal the shooter. This transcends who I support or am sympathetic to politically. It is about the image of the nation. How will any outsider respect us if we do not respect the law in our own land?
This is an excellent case and we will see the libturds hiding into the gutters as case will proceed and to their utter dismay CJ of the SC has already taken the suo moto action and InshaALLAH, Mashal Khan will get justice.
Glad sir, that you want justice for him and are not accusing him, without an iota of proof for blasphemy. That is some common ground there which we can walk on. Mashal Khan getting justice is what we both want.
As I have said before Allah and the Prophet have a special way. They do not need petty people to defend their honor. The message of Islam is peace. We need to think how the prophet would react and imitate him. When he won over tyrants like Abu Sufyan who fought against him in battles rather than kill them for their past blasphemy as soon as he had the chance how can we say that the only way to protect the honor of Allah and Prophet is to kill.
Brother try to understand my point of view rather than making me the target of your emotional and conservative ire. I want whats best for my country as you do, common ground again.
