Moderate provincial governor Salman Taseer was murdered this week by one of his bodyguards.
His killer was showered with rose petals as he appeared in court today.

More than 500 Muslim scholars praised the man suspected of killing a Pakistani governor because the politician opposed blasphemy laws that mandate death for those convicted of insulting Islam. The group of scholars and clerics known as Jamat Ahle Sunnat is affiliated with a moderate school of Islam and represents the mainstream Barelvi sect. The group said in a statement Wednesday that no one should pray for Taseer or express regret for his murder. (AP/B.K.Bangash)
McClatchy reported:
The increasing radicalization of Pakistani society was laid bare Wednesday when the nation’s mainstream religious organizations applauded the murder of provincial governor Salman Taseer earlier this week, while his killer was showered with rose petals as he appeared in court.
Taseer, 66, the governor of Punjab, the country’s most heavily populated province, was assassinated Tuesday by one of his police bodyguards after Taseer had campaigned to ease Pakistan’s blasphemy law. Religious groups threatened to kill others who questioned the blasphemy statute, which is designed to protect Islam and the Prophet Muhammad from “insult.”
Pakistan is a key partner for the U.S. in the global fight against terrorism but waves of fundamentalism have produced an increasingly intolerant and anti-American country, making the alliance with Washington hugely unpopular.

6 years ago, my brother was military attache to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. He was a USAF Capt. at the time. He had a Paki Capt tell him that NOT ALL PAKI MUZZTARDS hate you and want you Americans dead.
My brother asked him “How many DO want us dead”.
The Paki Capt. said. “About 10 %”
My brother asked him Pakistans’ population.
120,000,000.
Do the math.
Izzzlam is a death cult.

For some reason, when I read this little passage, I thought of AL SHARPTON.
Iconoclast commented:
Ah, yes, “the religion of peace” . . . where the murder of a man for seeking to reform some of the most primitive elements of the cult is greeted with approval by the “moderates.”SO – would the “extremists” be defined by advocating the execution / murder of every person to whom he was related?
And the leftists insist these troglodytes are simply misunderstood? Dummies.
gus commented:
Iconoclast. the TEA PARTY is radical.

These “people” stopped evolving 2000 years ago. They truly are like animals.

Islam is a religion and a political system of absolute intolerence.
Deny the truth at your own peril.

Some more from Life Site News:
“While the Pakistani government denounced the murder, a group of 500 Muslim scholars issued an explicit statement endorsing the killing of Taseer. During initial court hearings Qadri was kissed and showered with flower petals by numerous supporters.
“We pay rich tributes and salute the bravery, valor and faith of Mumtaz Qadri,” declared the Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat group in a statement issued to the press. They added that “there should be no expression of grief or sympathy on the death of the governor, as those who support blasphemy of the Prophet are themselves indulging in blasphemy.”
Extremist Islamic groups have held a national strike to protest the proposed repeal of the law, even though Pakistan’s ruling party has renounced plans to do so. The groups have also demanded the execution of Bibi, who was arrested in 2009 after defending her faith against Muslim women who she said were taunting her for her Christianity. She denies having insulted Mohammed. ”

Badger commented:
Ogee, Wilders never went to jail. They tried to nail him in court and utterly failed.
But hey, Islam is peace, eh?
TheTriGuy commented:
But Badger with Wilders the sad thing was it wasn’t the Islamists that brought him up on charges and then tried him, it was his own countrymen on the left: the Socialists. The Socialists and the Islamists are working together to destroy freedom. What they either don’t realize (or don’t care about for the moment) is each group would gladly destroy the other in a heartbeat if they had the chance. For now though, they remain together to fight the rest of the world.
