Pakistan mob burns man to death for 'blasphemy'

[Al Bhatti]

where is the government?

The aids of billions is important or the law and order and security of the common man?

 

[xyxmt]

one thing for sure, all involved in burning will burn in hell fire while the one who was burned and tortured might end up in Jannah. all these animals should be put to sleep, like animals

 

[regular]

I guess our cops are also involved in the LAW and Order situation in this matter, no doubt about that........

Exit God, enter madness

On Wednesday, 5th of July, a frenzied mob broke into a police station in Bahawalpur (South Punjab). The mob’s target was a ‘malang’ (vagabond), the sort that have been found in and around numerous shrines of Sufi saints in the sub-continent for centuries.

The malang, whom many people of the area also described to be a man not very sound of mind, had been taken into custody by the area’s police after some people accused him of desecrating the sanctity of the Muslim holy book, the Quran.

So on Wednesday as the malang sat behind bars at a police lock-up and as most of the cops kept giving him sideways glances, cracking vague, pitying grins at the malang’s state of mind and habit of talking to himself, the mob surrounded the police station, demanding that the ‘blasphemer’ be handed over.

The cops refused, pleading that the case against the man shall be decided by the courts. As if already surprised that their fellow Muslims in uniforms hadn’t lynched the ‘blasphemer’ themselves, the mob thrust forward in an attempt to break into the police station.

A few cops rushed out with batons and teargas canisters trying to push the mob back that by now had grown to over a hundred enraged men with an audience of another hundred or so onlookers who, as usual, hang around such situations like silent, inanimate zombies.

As one of the cops frantically pleaded for reinforcements from his superiors on the phone, the mob had already barged into the lock-up. They went straight for the room in which the malang was being held.

Newspapers reported that the room/jail was being guarded by two armed policemen. A reporter of an Urdu daily told me that the cops did raise and point their guns at the approaching mob and wanted to fire, but seeing they were heavily outnumbered they decided to simply block the way.

Of course, how could they have? They were not only brushed away but mercilessly beaten, as the mob finally broke into the room, got hold of the terrified malang, dragged him outside and began to beat him with fists, kicks, iron rods and sticks.

Some witnesses (the mesmerised zombies) told reporters that they could hear the malang screaming and pleading the mob for mercy. But the onlookers stood still and so did the bruised cops, praying that the promised reinforcements would arrive before the mob slaughtered the malang and send him to hell for insulting Islam – the ‘religion of peace.’

The reinforcements did arrive. But by then the mob had had its fill of vengeance and blood. It had battered a vagabond and a mentally disturbed person to death. And as if that wasn’t enough to quench its blood thirst, it set the limp, bloodied body of the man on fire!

Deluded as we have become about our religious and national identities and priorities, I’m sure after seeing flames rise from the evil blasphemer’s dead body, many pious men in the mob must have looked at the sky, trying to penetrate their blood-shot gaze into the seventh sky where God resides, expecting the Almighty to begin showering rose petals on them.

That didn’t happen, and no one was willing to suggest that in all probability God had actually been repulsed by the act.

Yet again, the nation heard and saw its faith and holy texts being ‘avenged’ not by God-fearing men, but by a mob of retarded, subhuman *****.

We need to abide by humanity rather than religion which are made by humans. The world religions seem to have failed to educate their disciples about the most important fact - No one has right to harm or kill any other human or animal in any case. It is God who has created us all and it is He who will decide when to take anyone's life. We humans commit sins day in and out and dream about heaven post death. God can never harm anyone and whoever harms any human or animal cannot be closer to God. May God punish those who take His decisions into their own hands!

It wasn't just "sad" it was a crime. Is there any doubt that the perpetrators of the evil deed will get away with it due to Pakistanis' lack of will to confront the evil in their midst?

MUCH more people have been killed in caste related violence in hindustan than blasphemy cases in Pakistan...something to consider before thinking of Pakistan

Why? That's the Indians' problem. This is yours.

i agree!!! so let us (PAKISTANIS) all sort our problems....you sort yours....let the bhartis sort theirs

All of those mobs should be burnt to death to revenge the death of the victim.

We will shoot all of those bastards to death in China to revenge for the victim for sure.

who knows the same mob will not have any problem burning other people's holy books and sacred places of worship. double standards.

Then what will be the difference between you and them. A mob behavior is completely different than individuals, that's why psychology of an average person's reaction to an event can't be applied to the psychology of a mob for that event.

They should be persecuted according to law, in a humane way, to keep the difference.

No, your view is that as long as there are problems elsewhere Pakistan doesn't have to deal with its own. "Let 'em burn" is your attitude.

Kind of cherry picking, aren't we.

You conclude on one while assume on the other. !!
