Everything unfolding in blasphemy politics was always tragically predictable. There is no rocketscience to where this is going. Partner leaves you - blasphemy. Boss fires you - blasphemy. Parent is not letting you make your own choices - blasphemy

[ArafatMazhar 🤖 @ArafatMazhar]

295C isn't the consensus, it the anomaly. And it is on us to weed this out. To make impotent a law that subsumes such power on us, a law that dehumanizes and otherize those who live with us.

One would imagine that a law that posits itself to be divinely true and omniscient would surely, atleast, be legally sound and historically contingent. For 295C, you would be wrong. Here are the three primary ones:

[ArafatMazhar 🤖 @ArafatMazhar]

Instead of banning hate groups like TLP and ASJW, state bans PTI - the biggest party in Pakistan. I hope this is an easy enough democratic issue for all voices to protest on. There is no nuanced analysis required here. Unban pti

6 basic things wrong with blasphemy law 295C

[ArafatMazhar 🤖 @ArafatMazhar]

298A is almost as bad as 295C using the same 4Is effectively criminalizing a faith

[ArafatMazhar 🤖 @ArafatMazhar]

From Gul Masih (1991) to Nazir Lazar Masih (2024), there is a jarringly long list of Masihs who have either lost their youth by being imprisoned for decades or their lives when lynched by a mob, to the monster of fascist hate movements that the 295C has allowed free reign over us all.

They are chanting that

اگر عدالت نے ان کے

مطابق فیصلہ نہیں دیا تو وہ خود لوگوں کو مارے گیں۔

پولیس کھڑی ہے اور سن رہی ہے سب کچھ ، پولیس ان کا

دفاع کر رہی ہے۔

کیا tax payers اس لئے ٹیکس دیتے کہ پولیس ان جیسے

شدت پسندوں کا دفاع کرے

مُلک کے حالات چیخ چیخ کر بتا رہے ہیں

کہ جہالت اور طاقت کسی دلیل کو نہیں مانتے

پاکستان کو بچانا ہے تو ٹی ایل پی کو مٹانا ہے۔

Pakistan - Blasphemy - Chaos

When was the time last we had a “correct” use of blasphemy law 295C. There is only one function of blasphemy law: MISUSE. No use condemning mob violence until and unless we holistically undo legislation around affect.

In this video now viral on social media, a Pakistani man can be seen burnt alive by a mob in #Swat Valley over #blasphemy allegations. The larger mob surrounding the body can be seen using cameras with flashlight to film the lynching. Welcome to #Pakistan - the Islamic republic: https://t.co/k7lSlf5Ofn

Warning: Graphic images

Another day, another act of cruelty & extremism in the name of religion in Pakistan. A local tourist was lynched, and his body was set on fire by a mob in #Swat Valley.

When allegations of desecrating holy book were raised against him, he was taken to the police station. The mob attacked and set the police station on fire, & took the man away. Young men celebrated around the dead accused burning body.
