Pakistani police have arrested the imam of a mosque for inciting violence after a 15-year old boy who was told by the cleric that he was a blasphemer went home and cut off his own hand.
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, police said. After returning home, the boy cut his hand off and then presented it to the cleric on a plate, an act welcomed by the boy's father who told police he was proud of his son.
Police filed anti-terrorism charges against Ahmed and arrested him on Saturday, police chief Ali said.

It's a protection racket.
Mohammedanism is a hellish, murderous cult. Just consider how many of today’s negative news stories have some connection with it.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Yes, and I felt so pure and sin-free on the way home.
