Man gets death for blasphemy after video trial (Pakistan, Christian insulted Mohammod)
Daily Times (Pakistan) ^ | May 31, 2007 | Staff Report

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Wednesday sentenced a blasphemy accused, Younis Masih, to death after a video jail trial. The court also fined him Rs 100,000.

Factory Area police had registered a blasphemy case under Section 295 C of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against Masih on September 10, 2005, after he had allegedly made derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at a Qawali function on September 9, 2005.

The accused challenged the whole legal process in his case and said that the investigation against him was illegal. He said that according to the law, a police officer below the rank of superintendent of police (SP) could not conduct investigation in a blasphemy case, but a sub-inspector (SI) had conducted the investigation in This case, which made the whole process illegal. He requested that the case against him be quashed.

During the proceedings, the accused was sitting in a special room at Kot Lakhpat Jail and the judge sat in a room at the Sessions Court where he recorded the evidence. The accused was seen in the court on a screen. This was the first video trial in a blasphemy case in the country.

Defence counsel Pervez Aslam Chaudhry said the trial had been arranged at the jail due to security issues, adding that all evidence in the case were also recorded through video.

The lawyer of the accused said that Christians had arranged a spiritual gathering at Chungi Ammarsidhu in September 9, 2005, at which a neighbour, Abdul Aziz, also a complainant in the case, had objected and demanded that they perform Islamic rituals instead of Christian rites. The argument turned hot during which, the complainant alleged that the accused had used the derogatory remarks.

The lawyer said that the case had not been investigated at the proper forum. He contended that the offence required investigation by an officer not below the rank of SP under section 156-A of the Criminal Procedure Code. Chaudhry said he would appeal against the decision.

The court also directed the police to provide security to the lawyer because he had been receiving threats during the trial.

Even today, organized Christianity promotes, or tolerates within its ranks, ideas in direct opposition to Jesus’ teachings.

And the point is that, this sort of abuse can be countered by pointing out that they are acting contrary to Jesus teaching

Meanwhile, those Muslims who commit murder, rape, robbery (as long as it's done to infidels) can do so in confidence that they are acting in complete accordance with Mohammod's example.

Jesus was a teacher of peace. Mad Mo was a pedophile sand pirate. Islam is only for peace AMONG Muslims, never BETWEEN Muslims and infidels

Islam is, at its core, an insane murder cult.

no it hasn’t. Just because a group wears a mask of Christianity doesn’t make it Christian. Such actions prove them to be the exact opposite; however, when compared to what Islam’s “prophet” taught those who do such things as this are those who are following his teachings to the letter and are therefore true Muslims (there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim)

The popularity of Islam among the Arabs at the beginning, and its popularity among prison inmates today, comes from the way it gives sanction to behavior that they want to engage in anyway

Rape? Rob? Murder? Mohammod did all of these, and since Mo is the Perfect Man according to the Qur'an (see my FR homepage), then any atrocity that Mohammod performed is OK for any Muslim to engage in

Yes, I looked at your profile and know where you are - nice job. Hope you get lots of hazard pay.

Ah, I see you want to make the classic assumption that I'm in this for the money. (Liberals do that all the time, actually.) Whether you choose to believe this or not, that is not my motivator. It stopped being about anything to do with money a long time ago.

And you chose to assume again when you accused me of "hurling insults" when all I did was ask question you about your actual involvement in the issue.

Stop making assumptions and debate properly.

Otherwise, please go try and intimidate someone else. You really are wasting your time if that is what you're trying to do with me. ;-)

And I would be banned from this forum. No thank you. I like it here so I'll ignore them.

do any Saudis and Iranians keep slaves?

Slavery was officially abvolished in Saudi Arabia 1n 1964, however, de facto, it still exists in the country...

Are women inferior in status in either country?

Women in Saudi Arabia are legally forbidden to either drive, or appear in public without a proper male escort, so their status is unambiguously inferior under the law...

Are other religions inferior in either country?

It is forbidden by law for a Jew to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Christians, while able to enter, are unable legally to practice their faith...

Those being the facts, you decide...

Allow these bastards into the EU, and this will be just the tip of the spear.

Terrible to die for telling the truth.

It's shaping up to be a disaster for Europe. The classic Muslim way of conquest is to have all available Muslims converge on any locality that offers any opposition to Muslim dominance (providing that this would be enough to beat them down into submission). With free movement throughout Europe, this would mean doom for any pockets of opposition

“Islam never has and never will reform, unless it ‘reforms’ to new yet-to-be-imagined extremes.”

Christian reform was a return to the plain language of the New Testement. That can’t happen with Islam, unless they ditch the Koran and the ahadith.

“Tt must be nice to have so few worries in your life that you can obsess about things that really aren’t of much consequence.”

Islam teaches that lying is permissible if one lies to the infidel. One must view anyone taking an oath on that book in that context.
