It’s good that the police officer has been arrested, but if he is prosecuted, and even more if he is convicted, there will be nationwide protests and he will be considered a hero and a martyr for Islam.
“Pakistani police officer kills man accused of blasphemy,” by Saleem Ahmad, Reuters, September 12, 2024:
QUETTA, Sept 12 (Reuters) – A police officer killed a man being held in custody on suspicion of blasphemy charges in southern Pakistan, police said on Thursday.
Muhammad Baloch, the senior superintendent of police in Quetta, the provincial capital of southwestern Balochistan, said that the police officer accused of the killing had been arrested.
The officer, who he did not name, had accessed a police station where a man accused of blasphemy was being held by pretending he was his relative before opening fire on him.
The man accused of blasphemy had been taken into custody earlier in the week and moved to a more heavily fortified station due to a huge mob that gathered and demanded the man be handed over to them.
Blasphemy is punishable by death in Pakistan. No one has been executed by the state for it, but numerous accused have been lynched by outraged mobs….

This policeman got tired of no be-headings of people accused of Blasphemy in Pakistan and took matters into his own hands.
“I was sick and tired of seeing blasphemers getting off with only 5, 6, 7, 10 years in jail and then not being be-headed as they should have been. Someone has to take responsibility and I stepped forward.as a proud Pakistani Muslim. We need to return to the ole’ days when a blasphemer would be be-headed in a proper amount of time.”

The mob couldn’t get to the man….who was most likely innocent of anything remotely resembling a crime (blasphemy shouldn’t be claimed for non-mozlums because non-mozlums don’t recognize the demon god of islam as a True god.)…so the cop, who would know how he could get inside to the cell, took it upon himself to avenge the false god and fake prophet.
Disgusting country where injustice and evil are on daily display. The cop should have the same thing he gave the prisoner whom he murdered.
Sick Of It says
Islam,the sickest ideology this planet has to offer! Democrats and Liberals are a close second!
Lez says
What a strange illogical religion. Even if one accepts that being offensive to the Islamic deity is a crime. Surely it is the responsibility of their god to prosecute and punish.
somehistory says
after all of this time of “their god’ not “prosecuting and punishing’,’ they don’t really believe in waiting on him. And their demon book of evil, demands that they do the ‘punishing.’

So this is another case different from the one reported here a few weeks ago about an accused man getting murdered by the police while he was taking shelter from these accusations?
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
I have never seen a news report that mentions “blasphemy” and also describes the blasphemy. Have you?
Where can I find lessons in “How To Blaspheme”?
OLD GUY says
Could it be that Allah has nothing to do with the rules, laws and punishment dealt out by islamic leaders today. Could it be that these islamic leaders want only the power they gain and the idea that they should rule the earth.
I don’t blame Allah, I blame these misleading Islamic scholars and leaders. Allah is God and God dosen’t need mans help to rule earth on his behalf.
