[mukto-mona] Fwd: Asiapeace (ACHA) Hindu Worker killed for "blasphemy"

 

Contrary to universally accepted maxim of equality ' Don't do unto others what you do not want to be done to unto you'', unfortunately and sadly, Muslims in general believe that they have a right to be the exceptions to this fundamental principle of basic human equality and fairness. In such matters, their 'chosen people syndrome' about themselves is not only hypocritical and one-eyed, but shameless, immoral and indefensible.

Subj: Asiapeace (ACHA) Hindu Worker killed for "blasphemy"

 

Unfortunately, the idea that blasphemy (however defined) is worthy of the death penalty has very wide support in Muslim culture. On this issue, Muslims are "moderate" only if they are in a very small minority (as in the US). Sad.

Workers kill Hindu colleague for 'blasphemy'

KARACHI: Dozens of Muslim workers at a factory in Karachi beat to death a Hindu colleague on Tuesday for alleged blasphemy, officials said.

Jagdish Kumar, 25, was tortured and killed at the garments factory after a debate on religion became heated, police and hospital officials said.

"About 1,500 workers at the factory in the Korangi industrial area beat to death the Hindu worker over [allegations of] blasphemy," police superintendent Farrukh Bashir said. The mob was trying to burn the body when officers arrived and took it away, Bashir added. Police had made several arrests, he said, without giving numbers. staff report/agencies
