CURRENT WAVE OF KILLINGS UNDER LABEL OF BLASPHEMY
There have been some recurring incidents of mobs killing people under the cover of blasphemy in Pakistan since the last few years, the latest being in Swat. The killers are not really practicising Muslims as true Islamic spirit abhors such rash behaviour in the concerned situations. In fact, it is highly speculated that these killings are a result of personal enmity with the accused using the label of blasphemy. However, the incident of Salman Taseer involved a very sensitive case about which different media and religious experts have voiced altogether different opinions. But the current wave of blasphemy killings are very tragic and we need to strongly condemn them. Written material in Urdu should be circulated regarding such matters by the authorities, in order to create restraint among masses, especially in small cities of Pakistan.
