Yet another attempt to lure audience: blasphemy law in Pakistan

Disclaimer: This article is written without any intent to boast about my fundamentalism or liberalism but to tell people about the existence of this blog :-P

Everyone (if not then majority of the readers by now) knows about the murder of Governor Punjab. He was murdered by one of his own guard provided by the government to protect him. As soon as murder was committed people of KoP as ever, were divided into the two (rather three, I must say) school of thoughts. One clan thought Governor asked for it and equated the person who opened fire on Governor with Ghazi Ilm Din Shaheed. Second clan which boasts about itself being secular/ liberal considered that Governor is "the real Martyr". However third gang which includes majority of the people of KoP remain impartial (as per my thought) from core of their hearts but show their inclination towards the killer so that they aren't considered as pro government (which I personally consider a symbol of government failure).

We are no one to amend and this Blasphemy Law by saying that Prophet (PBUH) himself was Rehmat ul Aalmeen but we can always push our so called elected representatives to ensure that the law is not misused against minorities. At present people who say that they will carry on the mission of the late governor to amend the law are living in fool's paradise (yet another humble opinion of mine). They would have been better off had they said that they will try to improve effective enforcement of law in such manner that no one will dare to misuse it. Law enforcement is a big issue in the KoP about which I need not to tell people of KoP. I would recommend the supporters of the killer to vote him as President if they want to save his skin otherwise he will be charged for his deed (noble or not, this is the decision which only Allah will make). From my primitive (naive) knowledge all I know is Allah Himself did not liked the way Abu Lahab and his wife used to behave with Holy Prophet (أبو لهب) and revealed a complete chapter (number 111) in Holy Quran which tells about what Abu Lahab has earned from his deeds. Many Kaafir poets during the preaching period of Holy Prophet created poetry with the sole intent of the Blasphemy of Rehamt ul Aalmeen were shown the passage towards death by pious Sahabas.

To sum it up I can say is that we are no one judge the acts of the killer and the victim (poor Governor said nothing Blasphemous about the Prophet and was against the law only) because power of judgment like ruling is the sole authority of Allah only (bestowed upon the dishonest rulers [this is the opinion of public on street] as [امانت] or at least something like it as I have studied in good old Pakistan Studies). In the end I would like to pray to Allah that HE may have mercy upon us and improve us so that we can have better rulers.
