Re: Why are mullahs above the law??
Why is he being hateful when on his page he has asked people to speak respectful words of the people who curse him? what about Lal Masjid/ASWJ publicly sharing his family pics/pics of his sister
People cursing and shaming Jibran Nasir for celebrating with friends. How does what he do personally affect them? Is he bragging about it on his official fb page? No, these are personal photos from his fb page.
Neither is he the first person to celebrate or wish other people on their festivals in Pakistan. Imran Khan, Zardari and Nawaz Sharif also wish diwali and mingle with the Pakistani Hindus. Will they have the nerve to threaten these leaders rather than ordinary citizens?
Jibran telling people to act civil and politely with Taliban sympathisers rather than wishing him to go to hell/shaming him or his family. Is he asking for death of Lal Masjid people? No he is not. He is speakiing out with his rights as a citizen to condemn their views and for this to be examined. After an arrest only the courts can decide be a person is to be charged and jailed.
That is the difference. He doesn’t have to shame their personal lives to score points. While they can openly post pictures of his family/sisters. If anything happens to him or his family they will be to blame.
I am sure if people in other countries are inspired by him and learn about Islam through his example like they did with Malala people will speak conspiracy theories of them as well.
He was the one who wanted to pray for Peshawar victims inside Lal Masjid mosque but was not allowed by those in Lal Masjid. They started their prayers outside. If it’s a mosque for public how can anyone be denied regardless of their ideology? Only after his pressure did Abdul Aziz condemn the Peshawar incident unconditionally. He did not call the children martyrs initially according to reports.
Jibran has never wished or condemned anyone to hellfire. Neither he has said hateful words or targeted any individual. He is not against religious people but rather he wants to reclaim religious places from speeches which promote hate towards other sects. People like him are also against the indiscriminate hanging of people under excuse of terror-eg. the petition against the 14 yr old. This was mentioned on his page as well.
Are all these Pakistanis from all walks of life who want to reclaim Lal Masjid for all people and want to stop speech by Abdul Aziz which is divisive deserving of hate?
Reputation of Lal Masjid was known much before Jibran started talking about them. They are the ones who rebelled on state and fired on soldiers. Was Jibran responsible for the Lal masjid siege and Musharraf taking Pakistani forces inside Lal Masjid? Will you say same for them? Since then Lal Masjid had plenty of time to reform themselves and focus on actual issues. what is with all their cursing of west and all people of west? Is West also responsible for Junaid Jamshed escaping there after blasphemy charges?
It’s easy for Lal masjid like people to speak of their own greatness among their own community rather than whole country. However, when outsiders from all walks of life in the country and abroad can see that you are remarkable then that is a sign of someone who is actually influential. He and the movement he has built has helped fast track conviction of suspects.
In Islamabad, rights activists continued their protests against Maulana Abdul Aziz, a conservative pro-Taliban cleric at the city’s Red Mosque, which has been a focus of extreme Islamist thought.
Jibran Nasir has been one such vocal critic, and since last week has led a campaign to have Mr. Aziz arrested on charges of terrorism. On Monday, dozens of protesters marched toward a police station to press the police to take action against Mr. Aziz. “Who is the enemy of Pakistan?” shouted one woman. “Taliban! Taliban!” responded the crowd.
It was a much smaller protest, however, than demonstrations last week. Mr. Nasir, the main organizer, said he had received a threatening phone call a day earlier from a man who claimed to be a Taliban spokesman.
