"*A mob killed a seven-year-old and her baby sister along with their grandmother, a member of the Ahmadi sect, after another follower was accused of posting blasphemous material on Facebook, police in Pakistan said.
Police said the violence late on Sunday in the town of Gujranwala, 220 km (140 miles) southeast of the capital, Islamabad, started with an altercation between young men, one of whom was an Ahmadi accused of posting ‘objectionable material.’*"
“According to AP, police official Zeeshan Siddiqi said the rioting in the city of Gujranwala erupted after claims an Ahmadi had posted a blasphemous photo of the Kaaba - the cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, that observant Muslims around the world face in prayer five times a day.

The photo allegedly contained nudity.”
Re: Mob kills a baby and their grandmother after ‘blasphemous’ Facebook post.
So what I’m confused about… OK, so the post was blasphemous, teek hai. Someone who happened to be Ahmadi posted it, teek hai. But what does him being Ahmadi have anything to do with the fact that he posted it?! Why attack people who have no idea what he posted and/ or what an idiot he is…? Why kill innocent people AND BABIES?!
Crap like that does happen more often in Punjab. I say its the price minorities pay in Punjab for the safety of Royal family.
This time not even a usual fake notice from CM Punjab.

Pathetic.
I had the same reaction while reading the article. But in your opinion, which is more pathetic. The riot or the attack on the ahmadis? Or was your reaction to something else?
Re: Mob kills a baby and their grandmother after 'blasphemous' Facebook post.
sad ... :( Muslims should standup against such fanaticism and extremism. Muslim leaders must condemn such happenings.
i hope that the culprits will be prosecuted and punished.
If the "Muslim" leadership start condemning such happenings then how can they rule the un-parh/jaahil/emotional religious followers? They thrive on hate-mongering :(
By the way, this is old news and has been discussed here before.

that's sad but true with most of our religious leadership. :(
i was talking about a very few of those leaders who still keep politics away from religion. they are the ones who must talk against this kinda fanaticism and extremism. they should issue fatwa declaring this kinda intolerance as un-Islamic and a sin of extreme severity.
