“The court ruled that the messages were intended to outrage the religious feelings of Muslims.”
Hurting their feelings will be illegal in the West before too long as well, if the Left gets its way.
“Pakistani student, 22, awarded death sentence over ‘blasphemous’ WhatsApp messages,” Hindustan Times, March 9, 2024:
A 22-year-old student was sentenced to death in Pakistan on the charges of blasphemy over WhatsApp messages, reported BBC on Friday. According to the Pakistani court, the student had prepared ‘blasphemous’ pictures and videos on the messaging application that contained derogatory words about Prophet Muhammad and his wives. The court ruled that the messages were intended to outrage the religious feelings of Muslims.
Another 17-year-old student has also been sentenced to life imprisonment for sharing the ‘blasphemous’ material. The teenager has not been awarded the death sentence as he is a minor.
A complaint regarding the two students’ messages was filed in 2022 by the cybercrime unit of Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Lahore. In the complaint, FIA said that it had examined the students’ phones and found “obscene material”.
Both the students have denied the accusations, saying that they have been “trapped in a false case”, reported BBC….
Blasphemy is the action of writing or speaking about God that shows a lack of respect. It is a sensitive issue in Pakistan, where anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or Islamic figures can face the death penalty. Some accused have also been lynched before their cases went to trial….
Peacelover says
Ah,the left would/will be defending those courts anyway. All of it,disgusting.
Westman says
The Left didn’t invent lawfare to eliminate competitors, they just borrowed it from Pakistan. The same system, without any religion for justification, is found in North Korea.

Coming to the UK soon.
Before anyone says it won’t, just look at all the other hell which has been imported by these savages.
They copy mooohamhead with the mass murder and kid f’ing
Hudders. says
Blasphemy laws incoming soon. 100000% agreed.
England Invaded says
Gove and Rayner just now speaking about extremism. Both started with how wonderful diversity is. Rayner more concerned with how muzzees are targeted of course.
More to just silence British people who object to the invasion and occupation.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Hindustan Times should know that blasphemy is only something applicable to one’s own religion! In other words, if a non-Christian is disrespectful towards Christ, that’s not blasphemy, since he doesn’t believe in Christ in the first place. Same thing if a non-Hindu is disrespectful to Kali, or a non-Buddhist to Buddha. But somehow, everybody acts like non-muslims need to be respectful to Muhammad. Why, exactly?
In both Pakistan and Bangladesh, it’s normal for muslims to settle scores by framing their enemies w/ accusations of blasphemy, hoping that it’ll either jail or execute them
SKA says
Weird thing is that Aaron Bushnell had blasphemed Jesus of Nazareth in one of his Reddit posts. Since Muhammadans revere Jesus whom they identify as one of their “prophets” then according to their notions about blasphemy Bushnell should be excreted. Instead they are venerating him as some sort of martyr. They have no fixed moral principles.
gravenimage says
SKA, Muslims regularly spew blasphemy about Christ. Their considering Jesus (really, “prophet Isa”–a *very* different figure from the Jesus of the Gospels) to be a holy figure is more about co-opting Christianity than having any actual respect for Jesus.
And of course actual Christians don’t murder people for being disrespectful towards Jesus.
Rarely says
“…actual Christians don’t murder people for being disrespectful towards Jesus” — at least not recently. During, and around, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, for example, Christianity in its various forms was far less benign than it is today.
gravenimage says
Rarely, you can dig up terrible instanes from the 16th and 17th centuries–which no Christians have supported for centuries–if you so desire.
Rarely says

I’m not digging up “terrible instances”. It was pretty mainstream at the time. So was the Inquisition. The various “witch trials” were pretty common too.
I’m neither defending nor justifying the various barbaric actions by muslims.
dollops says
Islam has from the start been ancient Arab culture with a veneer of monotheism, uniquely having a demi-god speaking for the higher power. Arabs still practice slavery, pirating, women and child sexual abuse, and by Big Mo’s imprimatur, zero tolerance for “unbelievers” (we who don’t submit to their perfidious desires). The followers pick and choose from “doctrines” to excuse all manner of deceits, perversions and violence, the most insidious of which allows, encourages, taqiyya, the means to lie in wait of the time when they are ready to show their true colours.

SC says
Welcome to a portent of a biden second term. Pakistanis have always been murdering thugs hence partition. Now they find it more difficult to blame Hindu’s for everything they just kill their own.
gravenimage says
I take your point, SC–but Pakistan was internally just as appalling during the Trump administration. American politics have little influence generally in Pakistan imposing the horrors of Shari’ah in Pakistan itself.
somehistory says
The first report of this several days ago, said that the investigation found that the two students had not done the download, but that someone else (probably mozlums) had sent these images to their phones.
this injustice is not the first in pakistan, nor will it be the last. Many infidels….Christian and others….have been framed, have been the target of mozlums who wanted property, and falsely accused of something they did not do.
gravenimage says
This doesn’t surprise, Somehistory. So often these accusations of blasphemy are about settling scores or stealing the victims’ property or even female relatives.
And both Muslims and Infidels get these accusations–of course, Infidels are even bigger targets.
Tony Rice says
Why oh why are Muslims so averse to any critical thoughts and words re the prophet, is his reputation so vulnerable. All discussion is healthy, is that not so?
gravenimage says
That is how the civilized world thinks–not the Muslim world like Pakistan.
Palladini says
Islam is no religion.it is at best a cult of inbreds who have no education are as stupid as they come, and want to live in the 7th century. Here is some news for you, it is no longer the 7th Century, and trying to act like your false prophet did back then makes no sense in this day and age
somehistory says
According to the definition of religion, islam is a religion, even if one considers it a cult, because a cult is also a religion.
In a cult, a human sets himself up as a god or godlike figure and calls on his followers to look upon him as their ultimate guide in how to live; and expects them to obey whatever rules he sets. Many cult leaders have been pedoviles and take all of the kids for themselves. Others take everyone’s money for personal use, claiming they will be better off without the funds. Some take all of the women in the group as wives.
Any time a person, or persons, worship an entity, and act in accord with the commands/demands of the entity, they are in a *religion.*

James Lincoln says
somehistory,
You are correct: islam is a religion; a demonic religion.
That being said, I wish that it were not categorized that way as it uses the “protections” that countries like the United States gives it, along with nonprofit tax status as a 501(c)(3), etc.
somehistory says
I wish so too, James.
As I have mentioned before a few times, the AB (Aryan Brotherhood) formed in American prisons as a protection against the Bloods, Crips and other gangs, is set up like a religion. and like islam, it’s blood in/blood out. They commit a murder to get in (mozlums are mostly born in) and if they want out, they are murdered.
They have meetings called ‘church’ and they have a book called a ‘bible’ with all the rules, etc. They smuggle, deal drugs, engage in extortion, illegal gambling, prostitution, and family members are loyal supporters..
But, they have been treated like the mafia, cosa nostra and other mob organizations, in that RICO has been used to take down the members. The AB still exists, but a lot of the members have been sent to prison.
Because of the way islam is set up, and the things members do, RICO could be used against mozlums.
Just thinking about the leaders of the mafia, cos nostra, etc., one could realize **why** the head guy is a ‘godfather.’
When the ‘godfather’ says something, everyone jumps to obey and if they value their lives, they’ll not complain about what they are told to do, or to try to take over.
islam could be taken down….not the religion itself….but the members who are found to have broken laws, such as by committing extortion, smuggling, rape of children, etc. Just as the other mob organizations have been reduced by members going to prison.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I’m not an attorney, but I believe that RICO could be used against islamic organizations / members – as you have suggested.
gravenimage says
Palladini, Islam *is* a religion–it is just an *evil reiglion*, like the worship of Ba’al or the Aztec religion, which both involved human sacrifice.
Mike says
There used to be a religion in the U.S. called World Church of the Creator, whose Pontifix Maximus (high priest) was Matt Hale, who is currently serving a life sentence in prison for conspiracy to murder a judge.
Basically, the group is a white supremacist organization which uses the trappings of a church to gain some respectability.
However, why should the WCotC be completely condemned and vilified, while Islamist terrorists, bigots, rabble-rousers,rapists and thieves get a free pass, because they sometimes appropriate the trappings of moderate Muslim faith?
gravenimage says
Mike, I try to condemn evil wherever I find it.
Bernie says
The Islamists in Pakistan (as well as most Islamists everywhere, really) need to understand that respect isn’t just something one can simply demand, it’s largely something one has to earn first.
Also. they should be aware that just because they freak out and fly off the handle at any real or perceived offense doesn’t automatically make them right (as in the recent case of the Kuwaiti Arabic calligraphy dress, which they assumed had Quranic scripture and was therefore blasphemous).
Letting your emotions dominate yourself, without using reason and logic to balance them out, is almost always a negative thing. 3-year-old kids and dogs also let their emotions run wild and totally dictate their conduct, but 3-year-old kids and dogs also defecate and urinate on the carpet.

fly off on yer carpet then .. what do they have that they ain’t stole… Ackbart!

Pakistan: Student gets death sentence for ‘derogatory words’ about Muhammad and his wives on WhatsApp
……………………………..
This poor young man. The penalty for ‘hurting the feelings’ of Muslim thugs is death.
Islam is a sick cult.
FYI says
According to islamic teachings muhammed was a fat.cross dressing polygamous midget.
Derogatory words?
Surely not;islamic teachings say that.Unless muslims think Abu Dawud and Sahih Bukhari are derogatory which muslims cannot do.
Abu Dawud 40:4731,Sahih Bukhari 2442 ..
And he used to fly around up in the clouds on Buraq,a flying female centaur{like THAT doesn’t ridicule muhammed}And you can’t dispute that if you are a muslim.That’s how muhammed got to Jeruslaem isn’t it?
abu taleb says

It has been illegal, I think. Calling somebody with his/her biological sex pronounce can put somebody in jail in the west.

Islam is a death cult.
Charvak says
Chances are high that the accused duo are either from the Hindu or the Christian community.
somehistory says
Very high. Almost a given.
gravenimage says
Likely so, Charvak. But it is also possible that they are insufficiently pious Muslims–or just Muslims with unscrupulous enemies. All of these things happen under Islam.
Simba ✝️ says
I’ve heard blaspheming allah gets you 3days to repent but blasphemy of Muhammad…. death sentence , no repentance period

The “Prophet” Muhammad is pretty much the God of Islam–more than Allah, even.

Romans 12:19-20 KJV
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
What more evidence do you need to establish once and for all that GOD the almighty, the loving heavenly Father of Christians and Jews has absolutely nothing in common with Allah, who needs the assistance of his messenger and his raging, moron followers to protect him and his “honour”.
If you are almighty you don’t want or need the assistance of neither the courts nor the mob to protect your honour!
Mr Pope, do you listen?
What kind of almighty god is Allah who cannot have a son except he has him by a companion, “one of his own”? That destroys the notion that Allah is one!
Allah cannot have a son but he has daughters (and even complain about it!). Who do you complain to if you are the almighty one? By complaining you implicitly recognise that you do not have the highest authority! Your “honour” went out the window!
Allah is the greatest of creators. We thought that it would be the prerogative of God to create life, but according to Islam Isa when a child, blew life into clay birds. In which way did they make him.a lessor creator than Allah?
In spite of the importence of Allah to have a son Islam insists that Isa was born by virgin Mary. We are told that it was the Archangel Gabril who in the his case did the blowing!
If we try to apply logics (which is a daring proposition in Islam) wouldn’t that make Gabriel a greater creator than Allah, who has just told us that he cannot have a son without a companion of his own kind?
The youngest of the two young Pakistani men was sentenced to life in prison. I just wonder whether his grieving parents will be put under pressure to kill their wayward son in accordance with Islamic “law”?
Islam is a tyrannical type of society, a hell on earth!
somehistory says
When Jesus taught His disciples (including all of us today) how to pray, the first thing He asked His Father was that God make His Name Hallowed, or Holy. It was then, and is now, Holy, but this request means that God will make people realize Who He is when He brings His Kingdom and does His Will on earth.
Just as Ezekiel wrote many times, “The nations shall know that I am Jehovah.”
This is something God will do and we as His children don’t need to worry about humans blaspheming Him. He will take care of things when He is ready to do so.
deze MN bee says
In the West (before Comedy was cancelled) we had Mother-in-Law jokes.
Under Islam people have Mothers-in-Law (up to four) which is no joke.
Goofy says
Being encouraged by the unholy Qur’an to beat your wife as a precautionary measure I doubt that you have any responsibility when it comes to your mother-in-Law!
gravenimage says
This is only a joke because in the West mothers-in-law can sometimes be overbearing. In Islam women can be beaten, raped, and sold into marriage, even as children. So this is far less common in Dar-al-Islam.
OLD GUY says
That is just HORRIBLE , You can be executed for your opinion and speech. There goes FaceBook, TICTOK and social media. Do you suppose America will enforce blasphemy laws any
better then we do immigration on border?
janet says
America will not but the islamo-nazis will It and any cruel acts are just what they believe will make them the top dog to bite and tear apart infidels. Any excuse for those filthy —.
