Boy who cut off 'blasphemous hand' says he has no regrets
2016-01-22
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] A Pak boy says he has no regrets about cutting off his own hand after being accused of blasphemy.
And welcome to the lack of it he is. Stupid schit.
In his first interview since the incident made global headlines, 15-year-old Qaiser told the BBC: "Why should I feel any pain or trouble in cutting off the hand that was raised against the Holy Prophet?"

Qaiser took his drastic action after mistakenly raising his hand when a holy man asked if anyone present did not believe in the teachings of Islam's holy prophet Mohammed.

Although the story has horrified an international audience, it has made fewer waves in Pakistain where blasphemy remains an offence punishable by death -- whether delivered by courts or mobs. Amputating his own hand may have saved his life.
