Pakistani Maulana Who Advocated 'Death For Blasphemy' Now On The Run For 'Blasphemous Remarks' Over Alleged Errors In Quran

A popular Maulana in Pakistan, Tariq Masood, who preached "death for blasphemy," has now himself come under fire over blasphemy allegations and is on the run to protect himself from the angry mobs.

A video of him went viral where he can be seen saying, "Why are you following Nabi (Mohammad, Prophet of Islam) when he did not know how to read and write?"

"The one (Mohammad) who is presenting the Quran (holy book of Islam), did not even write a single word and called others to write for him, which led to grammatical mistakes," he added.

"No corrections were done because Mohammad did not know there were grammatical errors, which continue till today," the Maulana said highlighting grammatical errors in the Quran.

Notably, the Maulana used to urge Muslims to kill anyone 'immediately' who disrespects Mohammad or Quran, without taking the case to court.

However, now he is advocating that anyone can commit mistakes but there are three ways of seeking forgiveness, which he has done and hence should be forgiven.

Interestingly, earlier he had said, "Even if someone has sought forgiveness, we can't say it is from the heart or just from the surface and hence, he should be punished as per the blasphemy law."

While being on the run, the Maulana is releasing video clips seeking forgiveness and appealing to everyone to understand his words in context.

“Prophet Muhammad was illiterate, the Quran contains faulty text, & Allah did not correct it either. So, why do we follow him, as he was neither educated nor do his culture or language align with ours,” Mufti Tariq Masood said in a video that went viral on social media almost immediately, attracting calls for his beheading from the faithful for what they consider the unpardonable sin of

He has made the possibly fatal mistake of expecting zombified zealots to have an open mind, one capable of learning and hearing opinions out.
Blunder of the year!

I think we can all agree he did the whole planet a favor by exposing ISlime for the scam it truly is.

Masood has been watching Christopher Hitchens videos

I don’t know, but if there ever was a religion spawned by the devil himself, it’s this one.

Escaping Islam is no different than deserting an army. Islam is a war plan.

There are good analyses by Tom Holland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2JdTrZO1To) and Robert Spencer as well as Chris Luxembourg.

They all point out that
1. the Arab conquests of the 600s were conquests of very literate societies who wrote down a lot
2. Yet there are no references to a Mohammed, Islam or Quran for the first 100 to 150 years of the conquest
3. The first Caliphs minted coins with crosses
4. The dome of the rock has writings that are not quite the Quran
5. The name “Muhammad” is a title, not a name and it is used only 5 times in the Q - and as a title.

I think that this is pretty clear that the person was fictional, an aggregator character created out of various warlords.

The religion in the 6th century arose as a mixed heresy combining Gnosticism, Judaic heresies of Christianity (Ebionites) + Zoroastrianism and Arab paganism. It was clearly derived from the Gnostic idea that Jesus was a phantasm not a real person, merged with Judaic anti-trinitarianism and with Zoroastrian wars against the lie.

When they invaded in the 600s, the Christians and the Jews saw them as a Jewish related heresy of Christianity

There are the references in the Q and the Hadiths that Alla sits on a throne between heaven and earth. And as per the Bible, only the deceiver sits on such a throne

note that that image is of Hussein, not Mo. Hussein was the grandson of Mo and was killed by Caliph Muawiyah and is considered a Shia “martyr”

It is interesting that the other great scourge of the world Communism is also considered a Christian heresy by some.

When you advocate for a cult of neck-choppery, there’s always someone who’s even more neck-choppy watching from the wings for you to slip up.
