Pakistani cop axes man to death over blasphemy

A policeman in Pakistan hacked a man to death for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the companions of the Prophet Muhammad, police said, just two days after a Christian couple was lynched over blasphemy in the same province.

The man, Tufail Haider, 55, was taken into custody late Wednesday in the city of Gujrat after a group of people allegedly overheard him making the remarks, beat him up and handed him over to police.

“Officer Faraz Naveed brought him to the police station and sent him to lockup. Haider did not stop using nasty words about Sahaba (the companions) despite warnings from various officials,” said police officer Khurram Shehzad.

“At around 5 a.m., Naveed could not control his emotions. He went into his cell, brought an ax, entered the lockup and hit Haider’s throat several times.”

Haider died on the spot, police said.

Blasphemy is a serious offense in conservative Muslim Pakistan, where those accused are sometimes lynched on the spot.

“Blasphemy is a serious offense in conservative Muslim Pakistan, where those accused are sometimes lynched on the spot.”

Just a model for the libs future vision:

Conservatism is a serious offense in liberal America, where those accused are sometimes lynched on the spot.

My God. They act as though it’s still the year 800 AD.
As primitive as can be. Yet, some of the Paki’s will come over here and make fine citizens, good neighbors even. I have seen it myself.

Individuals can be decent people, but accepting their immigrants is a negative for any country.

Muslims are insane!!
No Muslim should be allowed to enter the United States of America or any Christian, white European nation (if any are still left.) All Muslims should be expelled from the US and Europe. Now aren't I an awful, bigoted "racists."
