“When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” (Qur’an 8:12)
“Christian in Pakistan Jailed under Controversial Blasphemy Law,” Morning Star News, November 11, 2024:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fearing Islamist rage, residents in an area of Lahore on Nov. 3 fled their homes after a Christian was arrested under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, sources said.
Panic spread in Ward No. 12 of Kahna in Lahore, Punjab Province, after area Muslims accused Zafar Iqbal of setting fire to quranic pages in the courtyard of his house, said rights activist Napolean Qayyum.
“As news spread, many Christian families locked their homes and left for safer places, fearing a Jaranwala-type attack on their homes,” he said.
The complainant in the First Information Report (FIR) registered by Kahna police, Qari Mujahid Abbas Fareedi, imam of the Noorani Mosque in Kahna, said he was at the mosque after leading the afternoon prayers when two local Muslims told him Iqbal was burning pages of the Quran in the courtyard of his house, according to the FIR.
“According to the complainant, when he and the other Muslims went to Iqbal’s house, they found him standing next to the burning papers,” Qayyum said. “He claimed that when they sifted through the burnt pages, they found that they were from the Quran.”
The FIR states that the complainant and other Muslims immediately took Iqbal into custody and called police, Qayyum said.
Many Christian residents fled their homes as news of the alleged blasphemy spread, and members of Islamist outfits, including the extremist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), started gathering there, he said.
“The residents feared that the situation could turn violent, so they left as a precaution,” Qayyum said. “However, timely intervention by senior officials and arrest of the suspect helped in placating the religious activists and thwarting any violence against other Christians.”…

Pakistan: Fearing Muslim rage, residents flee their homes after Christian for blasphemy
……………………………………………
Just sickening. And so often these accusations of ‘blasphemy’ are not even true, but deliberate targeting of Christians or other non-Muslims.

If…giant if, because it won’t…..the prosecution had any integrity, if the police had any integrity, they would be asking Why the mozlums went to the Chrisian’s home.
Why were they there? And what business did they have going inside the man’s courtyard? And why would they risk burning their fingers picking up the paper to see if it was anything to do with the book of demon filth?
It was a set-up….again a set-up….to cause the Christian to be persecuted, imprisoned and sentenced to death.
Either just because he’s Christian; or the mozlums want something the Christian has….his home, his wife his daughter
And the others know that they can suffer in the same way by being falsely accused with no way out because the government is run by the same kind of beasts as the mozlums scum who accused him.

All this happens in Abrahamic religion followers. Abrahamic religion like Christianity Islam have caused many genocides all over the world. These 2 religions are really a cancer. Christians read ur own history how many you killed in S America, Mexico , Africa , Asian a. Its is self righteousness that “only my god is the right on” causes killings.

reply to Gary;
Balderdash. Christians have not committed any genocides. Some people, claiming to be Christians, have killed others.
However, atheists have murdered many, many more than that. Read “Dark Agenda” by Mr. David Horowitz.
Atheism is the cancer along with mozlums as both hate Christians and Jews and the murdering goes on and on.
