Shabbir ​Ahmed was delivering a sermon at a village in the east of Punjab province when he asked the gathering if anyone did not love the Prophet Mohammad.

Mishearing the question, the 15-year old boy raised his hand. Ahmed quickly singled him out and called him a "blasphemer" in front of the congregation, Nosher Ali, the head of the local police station, told Reuters on Sunday.

After returning home, the boy cut his hand off, an act welcomed by the boy's father who told police he was proud of his son and did not want the cleric arrested.

I was called a blasphemer! I’m going to cut off my hand!

Can someone explain to me why this death cult is still permitted to exist in civilized nations?

I am proud of this young Islamic worshiper.
I encourage other young Islamic men to follow his lead.
All good Muslims who have blasphemed should remove a hand.

Exactly. They’re a sick joke on the world. ZERO money to any nation that professes ANY support for ‘sharia’ law.

Maybe it’s tme for Freepers to start posting cartoons of the ‘prophet’?

You have kind of figured it out. He will be known to eat and take care of body functions with the same hand. A real disgust to others. Therefore they will not want to eat anything he touches, or touch him. A double punishment.

How does one cut their own hand off though? Holy crap, I can’t imagine how you would. With a saw or a knife?

Well put. I'd go so far as to say, the imam's at fault for not speaking up -- who *knows* how much misleading the blasphemer has done? The 15 year old should have strapped on a bomb, returned to the congregration, and killed himself and everyone else present.

In Islam they will cut off ones limbs while in Christians understood from the beginning that when it is better to cut off one limbs so as not to sin that was an allegory.
