Exhibit A: Pakistan: Protests to be held over Rushdie title

Pakistani Islamists plan Rushdie protests Quote:

ISLAMABAD -- Islamic hardliners planned protests across Pakistan Friday against the UK's award of a knighthood to novelist Salman Rushdie. Meanwhile a provincial chief minister handed back medals given to his grandfather by the former British colonial rulers of India in protest at the honor for the author of the Satanic Verses.

Quote:
LAHORE, June 21: The ruling members of the Punjab Assembly, led by chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, staged a walk-out from the house in protest against Benazir Bhutto’s statement in respect of blasphemer Salman Rushdie.

Speaker Afzal Sahi ruled that any offender of blasphemy against the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is liable to be killed and he will definitely kill the blasphemer if that person will come across. He said this is the faith of every Muslim.

He gave these remarks during a debate in the house over knighthood to Salman Rushdie and a statement of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on the issue.

Later, the ruling MPAs walked out from the house protesting against the statement of Benazir Bhutto but came back after a while. They shouted slogans against Benazir Bhutto and raised placards.

Meanwhile, there was also a scuffle between ruling MPA Zeenat Khan and PPP’s Uzma Bukhari.

Opposition leader Qasim Zia, participating in the debate, said that suicide attacks are not valid in Islam. Declaring suicide attack valid by Ejazul Haq is a conspiracy against the entire Muslim ummah.

Giving the ruling on this occasion, speaker Afzal Sahi said that a blasphemer is liable to be killed but this depends on the killer of the blasphemer that he himself kills or not. He said that if a blasphemer comes across him hw will definitely kill him.
