@Azlan Haider this is specially for you.
I am more interested in how you differentiate yourself from the ISIS/TTP ideology.
You have made an allegation against me. It is your job to provide:
1. The definition of who belongs to ISIS/TTP
2. Exactly why you think those same characteristics are found in me.
I just have trouble understanding anyone with the blood-lust to want to mutilate (not just kill) anyone who wants to discuss amending a law to, at the very minimum, ensure that it protects those who are wrongly accused.
You have trouble understanding the sentiments of Amir Mushtaq Sahib. I don't have any such trouble. No one, in whose heart the light of faith shines bright would have trouble understanding his sentiments.
If you are having trouble with this, maybe seek a proper spiritual guide who will help you in this matter.
Therefore, I fail to understand the mentality of the "righteous mobs" who kill blasphemy-accused (usually just framed) in the most brutal ways --- and then desecrate / mutilate the bodies further. There is no room for this in our religion or in our laws. This is why Amir Mushtaq must be condemned. This is also why the Imam of the mosque in Chitral who protected the accused is extraordinary --- if you were the Imam of the mosque, you probably would have gouged the poor fellow's eyes out and kept his severed tongue as a trophy on your bedside as proof of your most unquestionable piety.
And this is why these people should also be condemned?

Yes or no?
I believe in very heightened religious tolerance because a.) frankly we are not living in a Caliphate and b.) intolerance is the seed from which extremism grows. In the final analysis, the Almighty will provide Divine Justice anyway.
I believe in very heightened religiousness. Frankly, we should be living in a Caliphate, but while that possibility is remote, Pakistan should be governed by Islamic laws. And our religion doesn't teach an infinite tolerance for everything. Especially in the sphere of public life, Islamic laws are to be promulgated because otherwise everyone who accepts a public sin becomes a sinner.
Why does the thought of blasphemy rouse such violent emotions when most of the goons calling for blood are living lives that are barely in accordance with Islamic principles of justice, mercy and fairness? Ishq-e-Rasool is present in all good Muslims --- the true believers just live it out in their daily lives and not just when the local mullah tells them to go lynch someone. I've never seen these mobs do something positive, like clean the streets, help women or give shelter to innocent animals.
Again, if you are so out of tune with the rest of society, you need to take steps to reach that understanding. A proper spiritual guide would help you a lot.
