Blasphemy accused awarded death

[mm10]

I think thats totally wong and thats my Opinion and I think PPl who contributed towards this decision will be held responsible at judgment day for it!! :sad:

Holy prophet(pbuh) would have never allowed it if he was alive, neither does Islam. holy prophet was so humane that he visited the ailing lady who used to throw garbage on him after she got sick and could not throw garbage on him. How can muslims commit such act in the name of such holy name and Islam. http://www.dawn-usa.com/pak/

Blasphemy accused awarded death

From Our Correspondent
MULTAN–A Sessions Court headed by Bahadar Ali Khan awarded death sentence to a blasphemy accused Idrees Rabbani here on Thursday. The accused will also have to undergo 10-year rigorous imprisonment and pay a fine of Rs 50,000 and in case of non-payment, he will face a further prison of six months.
According to prosecution, the accused started preaching his un-Islamic views in 1998. He publicly said that he does not believe in the travel of Miraj by the Prophet (PBUH) while he also misled the people about prayers. Namaz-i-Janaza, sacrifice on Eidul Azha and recitation of Kalma Sharif. The prosecution further said that the accused also used inappropriate words about the Mohaddiseen (scholars of Hadith).
It may be mentioned here that a blasphemy case under Sections 295(A), 295(C) had been registered against Idrees Rabbani on November 11, 2001 in which Anees Rohani was the complainant while Mohammad Saleem Qadri, Mohammad Ilyas, Asghar Ali Shah, Shahid Raza, Abdul Hameed and Mohammad Yousaf appeared before the court as witnesses.
The court found Idrees Rabbani guilty and sentenced him to death, 10-year imprisonment and Rs 50,000 fine.

Such persecution in the name of religion that triumphs tolerance like no other religion in the whole world. And in the name of the Holy Prophet (saw) who's sunnah of forgiveness is unmatched for eternity.

Ignorance may end up being a curse for our nation.

So what is new? I think Dr. Yunus Sheik is still languishing in Jail on death row. Cowasjee has written couple of columns on the blasphemy laws in Pakistan, and cited the number of people who have have been persecuted under it. I do not remember the exact number but it was large (somewhere between a 1000 to 3000 is what I remember). Tolerance is not Pakistan's strength at the moment.
Anyone knows who or what sect is bearing the brunt of the blasphemy laws?

I thought "Blasphemy Law" only was to 'protect' the sacredness of Quran and Holy Prophet PBUH, but from what is posted it looks like we are defending the 'sacredness' of Mohadisseen, Miraj-e-Nabvi etc as well.

Does anyone have full version of Blasphemy Law?

And the pathetic thing is still ppl want to follow those crappy Mullahs and say prayers after them whose hands r red blooded with innocent ppl's murder in the name of hijacked Islam(actually not Islam).


Now most of the ppl will not voice thier concern, as it relates to Ahmadi's only, which shows thier hatred and ignorance towards muslim brethren and also lack of humanity and Islamism.thats why muslims r being humiliated throughout the world because of these shameful acts towards the minorities. thats all i have to say.

I think such people should be led out of the country, in case they dont stop their nonsense..

in other view, they should be sentenced to death as punishment and a sign of terror that ISLAM is not a relegion to play with your own ideas.

on other note, if you do not agree with islamic teachings and stuff, stop calling yorself Muslim, declare ur self non-Muslim and do not interfere in Muslims stuff..

thats the best solution, why to play with the fire, if u knw it will hurt u..

Rest Allah knows better.

The irony of the situation is that people call themselves 'Ahlay Sunat', though their ideology is totally aganist the Sunnat of the Holy Prophet (saw)
