Some religious, political parties misusing Islam: PM
2021-04-20
[DAILYTIMES.PK] Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer...
on Monday announced to lead a strong campaign at international level along with the heads of Moslem countries to jointly fight blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him).

On issue of blasphemy, he said, some political and religious parties in the country were "misusing" Islam to play with the sentiments of common man and were inciting violence.

"The protests and violence will do no harm to the West, but inflict a severe damage to your own people," the prime minister said in his address at the groundbreaking of Margalla Highway, a project to be connected with Rawalpindi Ring Road.

The prime minister’s statement came as the banned outfit Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain held protests demanding expulsion of French ambassador in the wake of incidents of blasphemy that took place in La Belle France. Lately, a few other political parties also voiced their support to the protesting TLP.

Imran Khan said all people in the country had deep love for the Prophet (PTUI!), adding that "such devotion must not be misused".

Pakistain, he said, was formed in the name of Islam and stressed that no one should cast doubt about any other person as how much deeply he respected the Prophet (PTUI!).
