What a torrid couple of weeks it’s been for anyone who has been accused of blasphemy in Pakistan. And might you there are more people accused than you might think.
Starting off with Asia Bibi – she has been sentenced to death. Then we had the blasphemy mudslinging match between two secular (sure) parties, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM),
with Khurshid Shah being accused of blasphemy for disrespecting the word muhajir – these allegations are getting more innovative with every passing moment.
This week a Christian couple was burnt alive for alleged blasphemy – nothing new here unfortunately, I don’t even know why Christians bother having a debate with a Muslim in this country.
What next, a Christian dubbed a blasphemer for telling a Muslim that Misbah is better than Afridi? Then of course a policeman took the law in his own hands and duly murdered a man with an axe for alleged blasphemy.
