Pakistani Cleric Advocated Blasphemy Deaths, Now Hunted for Insults Himself

In a stunning turn of events, Pakistani cleric Mufti Tariq Masood, once a vocal advocate for immediately executing those accused of blasphemy, now finds himself on the run, facing the very accusations he used to condemn others for. Masood sparked outrage across Pakistan with his controversial statements about the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran, claiming that the Prophet was illiterate and relied on scribes to document the holy book. In a particularly inflammatory remark, Masood stated, “The person (Prophet Mohammad) who is presenting the Quran did not write even a single word and got it written by others,“ further alleging that this led to grammatical errors in the Quran. The irony of Masood's situation is palpable, given his previous stance that “Even if someone has apologized, we cannot say whether it is from the heart or just for show, so he should be punished according to the blasphemy law.“ As Masood attempts to backpedal, claiming his words were taken out of context, his case highlights the volatile nature of blasphemy accusations in Pakistan and the potential dangers of the very laws he once championed. 📗 Get my best-selling book “Why There Is No God“ for FREE: 💕 Support Atheist Republic on PayPal: 💥 Contact Armin for live discussions: ✊ Volunteer in our team 🎨 Get our FREE Blasphemous Art 👉 Be an Atheist Republic patron on Patreon: 📧 Subscribe to our Newsletter: 🔓 Get NordVPN at a huge discount: 👕 Buy Atheist Republic merch: 📮 To donate by check, please visit this page for the mailing address: 🤫 We also have crypto wallets for people who want to donate anonymously: 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Follow Atheist Republic ⭐ Facebook: ⭐ Twitter: ⭐ Instagram: ⭐ Website: ⭐ Discord: ⭐ Twitch: Follow Susanna (Atheist Republic CEO, Ex-Christian, Ex-Catholic, Ex-Antifa) ⭐ Instagram: Follow Armin Navabi (Atheist Republic Founder, Ex-Muslim, Ex-Shia) ⭐ Instagram: ⭐ Twitter: ⭐ Facebook: ⭐ YouTube: The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic. #Atheism #Secularism #Religion
