Other Christians accused of blasphemy never get the chance for even a mock trial and are dealt âjusticeâ at the hands of angry mobsâsuch as the young Christian couple burned alive on a spurious accusation of blasphemy in November 2014. A report from 2012 found that âSince 1990 alone, fifty-two people have been extra-judicially murdered on charges of blasphemyâ in Pakistan. Last month, three burqa wearing sisters shot and killed a man accused of committing blasphemy in 2004. â[W]e couldnât kill him at the time because we were too young then,â they explained later. Also last month, a 23-year-old college student âwas killed and another seriously injured by a vigilante mob for allegedly âpublishing blasphemous content online.ââ The incident occurred on campus; the mob was yelling âAllahu Akbarâ throughout.
Although Islamâs blasphemy law is most associated with Pakistan, several other Muslim nations use it to persecute Christians and other minorities. Days ago, around the same time Bhatti was being sentenced to life in Pakistan, in Indonesia, Ahok, the Christian governor of Jakarta, was sentenced to two years in prison on the charge of insulting Islam and desecrating the Koran. Similarly, on March 30, a report appeared saying, âIran sentences a 21-year-old man to death for 'insulting Islam' ⌠after confessing when police promised he would be pardoned if he came clean.â
...
Last August in Nigeria, after two university students got into an argument, the Muslim student accused the Christian student of insulting Muhammad. Soon a mob of Muslims assembled and said the Christian must die. Then they savagely beat and nearly killed him. The following day, mobs of Muslims rioted and vandalized Christian campuses and churches.
Such nonstop accusations, incarcerations, murders, tortures and death penalties meted out to non-Muslims on the mere accusation of âblasphemyââat the hands of mobs, vigilantes, and court judgesâ call into question any claims of tolerance, modernity, or pluralism in many Muslim majority nations.
