Boy, 15, chops off his own hand with a scythe after Muslim cleric accused him of blasphemy
Daily Mail ^ | 1/18/16 | Corey Charlton

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.

Some father he is.

I remember being a young girl in a Catholic Mass, I was probably 6 or 7. I was wearing a dress that my mother made for me, mostly purple fabric. She made almost all of our clothes, because we did not have much money. The priest was giving a sermon about the evils of people who wear the color purple. This would have been in about 1965. It was clear that it was a sin (from what he was saying) to wear purple. I remember going home, and being so ashamed, and never wanting to wear that dress again. But chopping off your own hand seems to take it to a new level.

I think someone should put the hand in clear epoxy to make a paperweight out of it, and send it to Angela Merkel as a present, since she likes Islam so much.

Wow that’s one I’ve never heard, and of course we have the “purple” vestments for Advent and Lent.

Talk about a screwed up "religion". It's a cult.

Where did he ever get that idea? One of the great women of the NT was Lydia, a believer who opened her door to Paul. The book of Acts tells us she was a "seller of purple" - most likely dye and thread used for clothes.

That Lydia was a “seller of purple” means more than just being the local TJ Maxx. Purple was the color reserved to royalty and people of high status. Lydia was the clothier to the rich and famous. She had money, standing and influential connections in society, which was quite rare for a woman in the days of the Apostles. She was very much an asset in spreading God’s word through the Apostle Paul.

I think that he was making the point that purple was for royalty, and it was pretentious for anyone else to wear purple, except for Catholic priests (and other “officials”) in connection with certain specific events.
