HamHindustani Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Pakistan: Christian Man Who Said 'Jesus Is Supreme' Gets Death Sentence For 'Blasphemy' A Pakistan court has handed death sentence to a Christian mechanic who was booked on charges of blasphemy nearly five years ago. Ashfaq Masih was arrested in June 2017 after he had an argument with a customer over the payment for his services, a report in The Friday Times said. Pakistan is among the countries where blasphemy is punishable by death. In June 2017, Masih repaired the bike of a person in Lahore and when he asked for payment, the customer did not pay the entire amount and sought a discount on the basis that he was a religious devotee. However, Masih refused, saying he believed in Christ. Soon, a heated argument ensued between the duo and a crowd gathered. The crowd accused Masih of "disrespecting" the Prophet Muhammad. Masih allegedly then said that Jesus was supreme for Christians. Soon, police arrived at the spot, arrested Masih and registered a blasphemy case against him, the report said. Since 2019, the case has witnessed multiple adjournments. Masih, who is survived by a wife and daughter, was released in 2019 on parole to attend his mother's funeral. After Masih's arrest, reports said his family fled Lahore. Last month, a court in Bahawalpur had acquitted five members of a Hindu family who were arrested a year ago on allegations of blasphemy. However, there have been many recent instances where people have been sentenced to death under the blasphemy law. In January this year, a 26-year-old woman was sentenced to death for posting "blasphemous material" as her WhatsApp status. She had sent caricatures of Prophet Muhammed. A local Lahore court sentenced a school principal to death in September 2021 after she had claimed to be the "Prophet of Islam" in pamphlets she distributed.

Alam_dar Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I am afraid there is no other solution to this Pakistani religious mindset, except to COMPEL them forcefully to abolish these barbaric draconian blasphemy laws, just as all Islamic countries were forced earlier to abolish Islamic Slavery. At that time too religious elements were deadly against abolishing slavery from Islamic states, and their argument was: Islamic Slavery is linked to Jihad (i.e. whenever Jihad will take place, and enemy is defeated, then their women and children should be taken as slaves in booty. Thus, till the time Jihad is there, slavery should also exist. And moreover, according to Islam, whatever has been made HALAL by Allah, no man has the right to declare it HARAM. And since slavery has been made Halal by Allah, thus no men on the Earth can abolish it. Nevertheless, despite very strong opposition of religious elements, we still saw that the rest of world succeeded in forcing Muslims to give up the Halal Allah of slavery. Same is the path for blasphemy laws too. Whole world should force Muslims together, and they will surrender once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basis of Pakistan formation is religion. The whole population worship their army and listen to what they say. Their army is smart they used this to their advantage to max and changed laws to appease population to be religious and oppress minorities.
