Pakistan: How an 8-year-old boy was framed for blasphemy by a Maulvi

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children”, mentioned Nelson Mandela. In Pakistan, the toxic spiritual hate for Kafirs (non-Muslims who’re ordained to be killed or transformed to Islam) manifested itself with a younger boy, all of 8 years outdated, being maliciously framed for blasphemy, a cost that pulls the demise penalty within the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The theocratic, autocratic, acronym of a “state” obtained the distinctive distinction of charging the youngest individual for blasphemy – the wilful desecration of religion.
He was charged for the crime after he was accused to have urinated on the carpet of a Madarsa. The boy has been taken into ‘protective custody’ following the incident and he had spent per week in jail earlier than receiving bail. His household have gone into hiding following retribution. 
Following the boy being charged, a Bhagwan Ganesha temple was additionally desecrated in “retaliation” to the supposed urination within the Madrasa by the little boy. Videos emerged the place one might see irate Muslims with stones, sticks and swords desecrating the temple – all due to trumped-up fees.
The malice, and the way the boy was framed
Reports point out that the boy had urinated within the Madrasa inadvertently. The 8-year-old boy entered the Madrasa which was connected to a mosque by mistake and was subsequently ‘caught’ by Maulvi Hafiz Mohammad Ibrahim. When caught, the scared boy urinated on the spot. Post the incident, the kid’s father apologised profusely to the Maulvi and the Muslim group. He mentioned his youngster was mentally challenged and didn’t know what he was doing. However, the irate Muslims might probably not settle for {that a} youngster, even when it’s a Kafir youngster, can merely make a “mistake”.
An FIR was filed towards the kid and later, he was arrested. In retribution, a temple was desecrated by a Muslim mob and 22 events comprising of non secular organisations and political events refused to sentence the incident. The head of the alliance even went on to say that almost all group, Muslims on this case, had the suitable to slaughter a cow proper in entrance of a temple. Hindu group within the conservative district of Rahim Yar Khan, in Punjab, have fled their properties as effectively, after the Muslim mob ram amuck.
It will not be laborious to grasp {that a} younger Hindu boy, when being hounded by a Maulvi within the Islamic State of Pakistan, could be nervous sufficient to urinate in his pants contemplating they know the destiny Hindus meet in Pakistan. Would his mother and father not have instructed him about protecting his head down and never getting into mosques figuring out what Muslims do to Kafirs? Would his mother and father haven’t defined to him what the ramifications of being a Hindu in Islamic Pakistan are? Knowing all of that, would the kid not know the destiny that awaits after he was caught by a Maulvi for his mistake? So it’s unimaginable that the boy would urinate himself?
None of this was thought of. In reality, the Maulvi and the irate Muslims mentioned that the 8-year-old boy intentionally desecrated the Madrasa which was connected to a mosque. They thought of it a deliberate act, that he urinated – out of concern.
One has to then marvel if the act of unintentional urination was merely used as reuse to incarcerate the little boy. The Maulvi has to know that the act of urination was unintentional. Even after the daddy of the boy mentioned that the boy was mentally challenged, he was booked for blasphemy – an act that invitations the demise penalty. In actuality, it’s evident that the Muslim group of Pakistan needed the boy arrested and murdered for “blasphemy” merely for getting into the Madrasa. Simply for current and being a Hindu in a state the place non-Muslims are appeared upon as Kafirs who must be killed or transformed.
Recently, a Pakistani Muslim man was seen threatening and forcing a Hindu boy to chant ‘Allahu Akbar’. The sufferer was additionally coerced into abusing Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
The video was uploaded on social media by a well-liked Facebook person named Prakash Heerani. The accused, Abdul Salam Abu Dawood, was seen grabbing the sufferer by the collar and ordering him to chant Allahu Akbar. When the boy complied, the accused requested him to utter expletives directed at Hindu Gods. “Abuse your deities in the name of mother and sister…Say your God is a sister f*cker. You guys have polluted entire Pakistan,” Dawood was heard as saying.
Abdul Salam Abu Dawood, a local of Rahim Yar Khan in Pakistan, had uploaded the video on his Youtube channel with the caption, “Hindu torture by Muslim in Pakistan.” Following public outrage, he was fast to delete the video. 
Dawood was additionally seen threatening Hindus with genocide and full annihilation. In a video posted in April this yr, he warned, “If we start killing Hindus in Pakistan it would only take 30 minutes…We will kill Hindu men and take Hindu women. We will procreate from these women and make them ‘mujahid’ (fighters/Islamic terrorists ). Don’t mess with us we have a lot of people (Muslims) in India that would not take time to kill you (Hindus).”
Two incidents brutalising and torturing kids emerged in the previous few days from the identical space – Rahim Yar Khan – one of a kid being pressured to abuse his personal religion and one other, charged with blasphemy, falsely, just because he existed as a Hindu in an Islamic state. To say that any of this occurred as a result of the Islamic religion was intentionally desecrated ought to ideally, be thought of the denial of fundamental human rights within the face of state persecution. But it gained’t, as a result of the Islamic religion is ‘desecrated’ by the mere existence of Hindus and that in itself is a trope that has been normalised to such an extent, that it has change into acceptable.
