Admirers Bring Pakistani Islamist Killer Cards and Flowers For Valentine’s Day

On January 4, 2011, Salmaan Taseer was assassinated in Islamabad by his security guard, Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, who disagreed with Taseer’s opposition to Pakistan’s blasphemy law. Taseer had publicly defended a Christian woman who was accused of blasphemy against Islam. His bodyguard killed him for this.

Today, Qadri’s admirers brought him Valentine’s cards and flowers.

Qadri pleaded guilty to murder, telling a judge he didn’t regret gunning the politician down because he killed ‘an apostate’ as required under his interpretation of Islamic law, lawyers said.
