A couple of weeks back I had a post on reactions from throughout the Muslim world to the beheading of the French teacher, as covered by MEMRI TV. Well, there've been a few more since...
• Pakistani politician and Islamic scholar Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi urges the Pakistani government to declare jihad against “those who slander the Prophet Muhammad" by dropping the atom bomb, to let "everyone die".
• In a lesson from the Al-Aqsa mosque, Sheikh Issam Amira declares that the beheading of French teacher Paty is a great honour for all Muslims.
• According to Canadian imam Younus Kathrada, Samuel Paty was a "cursed, evil-spirited, filthy excuse for a human-being".
• And finally, here's the happy scene at a school playground in Islamabad:
A teacher at Islamabad's Jamia Hafsa Madrassa beheads what was described as an effigy of French President Macron with a sword in front of her students, accompanied by a little song:
"This is the punishment of the Prophet's slanderer. The head chopped off from the body. This is the punishment of the Prophet's slanderer. The head chopped from the body. The makers of the cartoons. We shall crush them to dust. The makers of the cartoons. We shall crush them to dust."
Somebody named Hamza Tzortzis, apparently an educator, recently teeeted:
“The saddest thing I’ve realised is that many people don’t have anything in their lives to love as much as we love Prophet Muhammad. This is evident by their inability to understand the intensity of our love & their incapacity to fathom the sacrifices we’d make for him”
Acts like a cult, walks like a cult ...
