Asma Batool’s mistake was that she quoted a poem that referred to many gods, rather than insisting that there is no god but Allah. For that, she could be imprisoned or even killed. As far as Pakistani authorities are concerned, upholding the singularity of Allah is more important than human life, and certainly more important than opposing rape.
“Pakistani blogger shares poem on rapes. Gets arrested for insulting Allah,” by Debdutta Chakraborty, The Print, August 28, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
New Delhi: All it took was a poem of solidarity for a Pakistani blogger to be charged with blasphemy and be put in jail. Asma Batool, a blogger from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir shared a poem by Salman Haider on the harassment women face in South Asian countries, after the Kolkata rape case.
“Khuda, Bhagwan or Ishwar, sab maujood they, jab rape hua (All the gods were witness when I was being violated), read the poem that Batool shared on Facebook. In an Instagram post, she is seen narrating another poem with the caption, “Your country is the same as mine”.
Now the police have picked her up on charges of blasphemy after religious clerics filed an FIR against her for insulting Allah. The FIR was filed against her on 25 August by Maulana Tahir Bashir, president of Ahlus Sunnat Wal Jamaat District in Poonch. Batool’s family has now filed a complaint with the local police, alleging that a mob attacked their home, threatened to kill them, and attempted to set their house on fire over accusations of abandoning their faith.
Visuals on social media also show a mob led by local clerics asking her family to disown Batool or face social ostracism….
Batool has actively raised her voice against the oppression of minorities in Pakistan on social media. Her YouTube channel has videos of her celebrating Holi and talking about the people of Kashmir….
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, which ban derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad and can lead to severe penalties, have sparked significant controversy. Since 1947, at least 89 people have been extrajudicially killed over blasphemy accusations, including notable figures like Governor Salman Taseer and Minister Shahbaz Bhatti.
As of early 2021, around 80 people were imprisoned on blasphemy charges, with many facing life sentences or the death penalty….

islam’s ‘god’ is all in favor of rape; much like all of the other evils mozlums see as their “duty,” and “obligation,” and for which the devout among them crave, lust and lie to acheive.
The authorities are slow…or non–moving at all….to arrest and charge a mozlum scum who kidnaps a Christian child, rapes her and forces her to say she has willingly ‘converted,’ so he can say she ‘married’ him. But some young woman quotes a poem and they are quick as a mouse i in making an arrest and going forward with severe punishment.
islam is evil. and the pakistanis are evil on steroids to carry it out on innocent people.

“allah is only the best of creators” : quran 23, 14 + 37, 125 = many gods exist

And we know all to well to dedicated Muslimsthat life, even Human Life is of no real concern

Allah is nonexistent but this fiction serves as a good excuse to control human beings. Islam has been controlling human beings for some 1400 years and just look at the Islamic world today with all its torpor and terror. Quite the legacy based on something that doesn’t even exist and tending very much to prove that man most of the time is an idiot.

There’s a movie called ‘Magic’ in which an ‘evil’ ventriloquist dummy is seen to incite its ventriloquist owner to murder at the end – but, of course, the audience already understands that it’s actually the ventriloquist who’s sick in the head. What a shame that the penny never seems to have dropped about ‘Allah’; but then no one ever got see ‘Allah’, and if they had they’d probably have seen the ‘prophet’s’ lips moving.
somehistory says
“Two Pakistani men stood trial in absentia Monday at a high-security court in the Netherlands over alleged attempts to incite the murder of far-right and anti-Islam Dutch leader Geert Wilders.
Dutch prosecutors have charged 56-year-old religious leader Muhammed Ashraf Jalali for calling on his followers to kill Wilders and promising they would be “rewarded in the afterlife.”
Another man, Saad Hussain Rizvi, leader of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party, is suspected of urging followers to kill Wilders after Pakistani cricketer Khalid Latif was sentenced for incitement to murder him.
“This case has had a huge impact on me and my family,” said Wilders, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and maroon tie.
“I’m asking this court to send a strong signal… that calling a fatwa in this country is unacceptable,” he added. ”

Precisely! This should pop the argument of anybody who claims that islam is against rape
abu taleb says
Opposing rape by Islam jihadists is insulting Allah. Allah must be involving in the rape as well, otherwise, why Allah feel insulted when somebody is opposing the rape..
Isn’t that weird that muslims can decide whether Allah feel insulted or not.
SKA says
Actually doesn’t that presumption for them to “know” what their deity is feeling a form of shirk?
OLD GUY says
Why do muslims believe that Allah needs man to commit murder and violence to those who insult or use his name in vain. Or is it just power over others that these islamic leaders want?
Dictators always use violence and fear to control the masses, sound familiar?
