After a teenager commits murder in a courtroom during the hearing of a blaphemy case, images and videos on social media showing lawyers and police officers embracing him call into question the role played by guardians of the law

As Faisal alias Khalid, the alleged killer of blasphemy accused Pakistani-American Tahir Ahmad Naseem, approached the courtroom for a hearing, a couple of lawyers excitedly headed towards him. Video clips and photos of this interaction, now available on social media, show lawyers hugging and kissing the killer encircled by a dozen policemen. There is no resistance from the police. A couple of days later, selfies of smiling police guards with the alleged killer in a police van also emerged on social media, highlighting how sections of law enforcement agencies and legal fraternity treat a heinous crime committed in the name of religion.

On July 29, Khalid, a teenager, had shot dead a senior citizen in the courtroom in broad daylight during the hearing of a blasphemy case. Naseem, also an American citizen with ties previously to Ahmadi faith, was accused of blasphemy in April 2018 after a student at an Islamic seminary in Islamabad met the accused in Peshawar. According to the student, the accused claimed that he was “a prophet and a messiah” and that God had bestowed him with spiritual powers to guide people.

Everyone is just completely baffled over how a teenager got a loaded firearm into a packed, secure courtroom.

the accused claimed that he was “a prophet and a messiah” and that God had bestowed him with spiritual powers to guide people.

This is a reason to be arrested and ultimately killed. The problem with Islam remains Islam.
