Pak Tea House draws attention to an article in PakTribune about religious parties issuing an ‘apostasy’ decree against Governor of Punjab Salmaan Taseer.
Majlis-e-Ahrar Pakistan leader Syed Ataul Muhemin Bukhari and other leaders also warned of a launching a movement against the PPP government and Punjab Governor Salman Taseer if they continued implementing western conspiracy against Islam in the country by extraditing Asia Masih and trying to change the blasphemy laws. Jamaat-e-Islami Punjab Ameer Dr Waseem Akhtar, while addressing a meeting, demanded that presidential powers to pardon blasphemy convicts must be withdrawn and if blasphemy laws were to be amended then they should be done through parliament in consultations with the religious scholars.
Meanwhile, Almi Jamaat Ahle Sunnat in an emergency meeting has issued a fatwa (Edict), declaring Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer as ‘apostate’ for raising his voice to free blasphemy convict Asia and implementing the western conspiracy against the blasphemy laws in the country. According to a press release, Salman Taseer will remain apostate till the time he seeks forgiveness for this great sin and shows repentance. The fatwa came in a meeting of the religious scholars at the office of Allmi Jamaat Ahle Sunnat with Sahibzada Allama Pir Syed Mustafa Asharf Rizvi in the chair.
As Pak Tea House reminds us, that puts the Governor in good company:
The same parties abused – it does not need reminding- Mahomed Ali Jinnah, the founder of this nation and called him “Kafir-e-Azam”. Maulana Mazhar Ali Azhar wrote those famous lines “Ik kafira kay peechay Islam ko chora, yeh Quaid-e-Azam hai yaa kafir-e-Azam”.
It also says something pretty interesting about the religion of some of these self-appointed saints. ‘Apostasy’ means abandonment or renunciation of one’s religion. In this case, the accusation comes as a result of Salmaan Taseer wanting to amend the blasphemy law of Zia-ul-Haq, not the law of Allah. So it seems that the ‘religion’ of Majlis-e-Ahrar and Jamaat-i-Islami is not the Islam of Allah and his Prophet (PBUH) but of Zia. Yes, I would say that this certainly puts Salmaan Taseer in pretty good company.
In this coutry there are too may empty reeds that blurt and bleep,And lead the masses astray with their singing.We
are nation that has lost her sense of both spirtually and
ethically.If Salman Taseer showed moral courage to tell us
that we must stop playing “God” then we must heed.

I think all the people who participate in this discussion tell about the problem of Salman Tasir and The Blasphemy Law only because this is a topic.Please don’t change the topic.You goona to Majlis-e-Ahrar and Maulana Mazhar Ali Azhar.He was a great man of the history of Sub-Continent.We should follow and struggle for Islam not for Jinnahs vision.Pakistan made on the name of Islam than you apply the Islam.and not discuss old issues because Maulana Mazhar Ali Azhar was dead and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Was also dead.But Struggle and talk about Islam And Blasphemy Law…Thanks
Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam is struggle for Islam and against Qadianis.We should join the Majlis-e-Ahrar and work for the faith of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat
