QuoteLAHORE

ADDITIONAL District and Sessions Judge Nazar Hussain on Saturday summoned the station house officer (SHO) Civil Lines in a petition seeking registration of a criminal case against owners of Facebook for hosting a blasphemous cartoon contest.

The petition was filed by Muhammad Azhar Siddique, chairman of the Judicial Activism Panel (JAP), who informed the court that an application for registration of an FIR was filed with the Civil Lines Police but the SHO was reluctant to proceed on the application. He argued that the blasphemous act of Facebook amounted to infringement of social of values, national and international laws and protocols as well as the Charter of the United Nations. He said the owners of Facebook (Mark Elliot Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz), the artist (Andy) and the management of the website had committed a heinous and serious crime under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (PPC) read with Section 109 of the PPC as well as other provisions of law in this regard.

Section 295-C of the PPC says, ìUse of derogatory remark etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet, whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable for fine.'

The petitioner-lawyer further said that Section 109 of the PPC ran says: '109. Punishment of abetment if the act abetted is committed in consequence and where no express provisions is made for its punishment: Whoever abets any offence shall, if the act is abetted is committed in consequence of the abetment, and no express provision is made by this Code for the punishment of such abatement, be punished with the punishment provided for the offence.'
Wha? What? What the hell? Pakistan?! Seriously? :drama:

LOL

If they were that confident in their religious beliefs then why worry about other people who dont agree with them. If youre a Muslim dont draw a picture of Mohamed, if someone else wants to then thats their choice.

Who is really doing damage to Islam here - the guy who owns a social networking site which generally upholds freedom of speech or the slightly mental Lawyer whod just re-enforcing the stereotype that a lot of Muslims are violent and intolerant of others. Calling for the death of someone for allowing a group which proposes people draw cartoons of a historical figure is more than a little bit irrational. Some might argue that believing in a magical sky pixie called Allah is likely a bit irrational in itself but killing someone for the sake of your historical figure/magical sky pixie is a few steps further into being a completely irrational lunatic.

P.S Can someone add it to the list of smilies? We need a picard face palm smilie.
