Iran and Pakistan specify death penalty for blasphemy. قاری زوار mp 3 Punishment not specified in KSA, Afghanistan. قاری زوار mp 3 Among 10 countries ranked worst in terms of blasphemy laws, Iran tops the list, Pakistan comes 2nd

http://www.hudson.org/research/4669-hold-the-line-on-sharia  
Sistani is strongly in favor of the blasphemy laws that have been so useful to Middle Eastern despots in squelching political reform. He declares that the ruling on those who “slander Allah, the Prophet, the Imams, religion or schools of law (madhhab)… is death.” This penalty could be imposed on any Muslim who “slanders,” that, is criticizes, an Imam’s interpretation of the law, as has occurred in Iran and Afghanistan.

Sistani(Various Fatwas):
ولو كانوا جادّين قاصدين في سبهم لله عزّ وجلّ، قاری زوار mp 3 أو للنبي صلى الله عليه وآله، أو للائمّة عليهم السلام، أو للدين، أو للمذهب، وقاصدين ذلك باِصرار منـهم عليه؟
ــ حكمـهم القتل
Question: قاری زوار mp 3 ...If they are serious and intentionally insulting Allah, or the prophet, or the Imams, or the religion or the Madhab, what is their state?
Answer: They are to be killed
And here are various narrations from Wasa'il Al-Shi'a where the Ma'sum عليه السلام explicitly confirms the above.

As for the proof from ahadeeth, there is much more than what you have mentioned, and it could reach the level of tawatur ma’nawi. Here is a list of a few of them, with the content paraphrased:
  • hadeeth of hisham ibn salim, imam sadiq a.s. said the closest one to the blasphemer should kill him (in alkafi and altahdheeb)
  • hadeeth of al-washa, imam sadiq a.s. gets called to a case of a blasphemer and he speaks against the views of the people in punishing him different ways and implies that he must be killed (in alkafi and altahdheeb)
  • hadeeth of ali ibn imam sadiq a.s. from his brother imam kazim a.s.: same story as above, except that the imam explicitly says that the punishment is death. (in alkafi and altahdeehb)
  • hadeeth of muhammad ibn muslim from imam baqir a.s.: about the man from the tribe of hudhayl, as you mentioned, but you skipped the end: ibn muslim asked the imam a.s.: if a man were to blaspheme against the prophet now should he be killed? and the imam a.s. replied: if you don’t fear for yourself (i.e. theres no serious harm expected on you) then kill him. (in alkafi and altahdheeb)
  • another hadeeth of hisham ibn salim from imam sadiq a.s. he said that the blasphemer against imam ali a.s. is halal al-dum - permissible to be killed – (alkafi and altahdeeb)
  • hadeeth of abdullah ibn sulayman al-amiri narrates from imam sadiq a.s. the same thing (alkafi and al-tahdheeb)
  • and other narrations expressing that the nawasib are halal al-dum
  • and other narrations in general
these narrations are very clear, some are reliable, some are authenticated, together with the shuhra azeema or the purported ijma, there can be no doubt, and the case for this ruling to be on certainty, not conjecture as you say, is very clear.
...
But the way to do it is not what happened in paris. The Imam a.s. clearly said that one is to only kill a blasphemer if one is safe from any consequences

Muslim, from Abi Ja`far (al-Baqir) [as] he said: A man from Bani Hudhayl was abusing the Prophet [saawaws], when He [saawaws] heard this, he asked "Who will deal with him?" Two men from the Ansar arose, and said "We, O' Rasool Allah [saawaws]!" They departed until they reached a wagon, and asked about him, and found out he was herding sheep. They found him with his family and sheep and did not send greetings upon him (ie. say "as-salaamu `alaykum). He asked "Who are you, what are your names?" They said: "Are you Fulaan b. Fulaan (so-and-so son of so-and-so)?" He said: "Yes". So they cut off his his head (or they struck his neck). Mohammad b. Muslim then said: So I asked Abu Ja`far [as]: "What do you think of some who insults the Prophet [saawaws], is he to be executed?" He said: "If you do not fear for your safety, kill him."

Q194: During verbal disputes, some people unfortunately employ words in a non-serious manner that imply disbelief in Allah (s.w.t.) or articulate that which is inappropriate for the infallible ones (a.s.). Is it obligatory to impose a penalty (hadd) on them for that?
A: As long as they are not serious and do not mean what they are saying, there is no shar'i penalty on them but they are deserving of ta'zir. (FM, p. 419)
Q195: If they are serious and intend to slander Allah (s.w.t.), the Prophet (S), the Imams (a.s.), religion or school of law (madhhab) and persist in this.
A: The ruling upon them is death. (FM, p. 419)

This report indicates that the one who reviles the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is to be executed and no blood money is to be paid for him; if he is a Muslim his reviling of him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is apostasy for which he deserves to be executed. Ibn Battaal said: without being asked to repent.

"It details an exchange between the Fifth Shia Imam (a great-great grandson of Muhammad), Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir—also known as “Abu Jafar”—and one of his closest students.  After imparting the story of Muhammad’s order to execute the man who had insulted him (the nature of which is never specified), al-Baqir is then asked a question:  “What if someone today does this?  Is he killed?”  The response:  In lam takhaf ala nafsika faqtulhu—“If you do not fear for yourself, then kill him.”
While al-Baqir lived in Medina, Islam’s second holiest city, the Shia were predominately situated in Kufa, modern day Iraq, and would visit him during the Hajj season to seek religious counsel.  At this time, most of the Islamic world, including both Medina and Kufa, were under the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate—a government which minted currency, conducted war and diplomacy, and had a system of justice and representation which extended to the local level.  By rejecting recourse to the law, al-Baqir establishes a dangerously irrational precedent:  Independent of one’s state or government, and absent of any legal mechanism, execution for blasphemy is a personal duty that can be carried out anywhere.

This account would later be recorded in two of Shia Islam’s most prominent early books of hadith and legal literature:  Al-Kafi, by Muhammad ibn Yaqub al-Kulayni (d. 329 AH/940 CE), and Tadhib al-Ahkam, by Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Tusi (d. 460 AH/1067 CE).  Its content, reinforced by centuries of scholarly commentary, would be incorporated into foundational books of religious curricula, and studied in the hawzas of Qom and Najaf.
"Like the Sunni jurists, Shi'i scholars are in agreement in stating that it is incumbent (wajib) to execute one who insults or calumniates the Prophet upon him be peace and blessings, when one hears the insults provided there is no danger to his/her self, reputation, or wealth. For the Shi'is, this ruling is extended to cover insults against their twelve Imams and Hazrat Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet upon him be peace and blessings. It is not essential to get the permission of a jurist or religious scholar to carry out the act (Khu'i, Minhaj, vol.2)."

"'Ali ibn Ibrahim (quddis sirruhu), from his father, from Hamad ibn 'Isa, from Ruba'i, from Muhammad ibn Muslim (radhi Allah 'anh), from Abi Ja'far ('alayhi assalam), he said: Verily a man from (the tribe of) Hudhayl had abused the Messenger of God (sawa). when this reached the Prophet (sawa) he said: Who to him? So some men from the Ansar stood and said (there are two men indicated by the grammar): We on messenger of God. So they went (searching for him) until they came to a wagon (or cart) and they asked about him. And he was herding his sheep. And they found him with his family and sheep, and they did not send peace to him (they did not greet him). So he asked: Who are you two, what are your names? They said to him: Are you so-and-so son of so-and-so? He said: Yes. And they descended upon him and struck his neck (beheaded him). Muhammad ibn Muslim said: I said to Abi Ja'far ('alayhi assalam): "How do you see the one who abuses the Prophet (sawa), is he killed? He ('alayhi assalam) said: Verily if you do not fear for your self, kill him.

13 August 2013: An estimated number of 1,274 people have been charged under the stringent blasphemy laws of Pakistan between 1986, from when they were included in the Constitution by General Zia ul Haq, until 2010.
Pakistan’s Penal Code Section dates back to pre-partition India when it was introduced in 1860. Section 295, better known as the Blasphemy Law, deals with religious offences and was meant to prevent religious violence. Prior to 1986, only 14 cases pertaining to blasphemy were reported.
The blasphemy laws include a death penalty for the defamation of the Holy Prophet and life imprisonment for the desecration of the Holy Quran. According to sources, 51 people accused of blasphemy were murdered before their respective trials were over. However, the death sentence has never been implemented.

Thus in on 22 September 1895, Ahmad published a circular demanding that the government amend Indian Penal Code 298 to make blasphemy against any religious founder a punishable offense. In 1927, Ahmadis took the lead in agitating against publication of the book Rangila Rasul by its Hindu author Raj Pal and demanded that it be banned. This included legal action by the movement’s prominent member Sir Zafrullah Khan. Defense of the honor of the Holy Prophet Muhammad has become such an integral part of the Ahmadiyya identity that Ahmadis have been at the forefront of demanding blasphemy laws around the world. Thus when he spoke to the parliament members, the current leader of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat demanded the same of the British government, “Governments need to make policies that establish and protect mutual respect, through which hurting the sentiments of others or causing them any type of harm should be outlawed.”

Abul Fazl Borqei (1908-1993), one of the most famous jurists in Qom who was critical of certain Shiite beliefs, was repeatedly harassed and eventually had to leave Qom.

Currently, the idea of closeness between different sects of Islam and even the idea of dialogue among different religions is quite popular in Qom. However, this tolerance is usually only reserved for the outside world. When it comes to the internal environment of the hawza in Qom, or generally inside the borders of Iran, the outlook is much more limited and narrow. For example, the attempts to remove Borqei because of his views — which resembled those of the Sunnis — happened under the leadership of Borujerdi, one of the important advocates of closeness between Shiites and Sunnis. In another example, Sheikh Ali Panah Eshtehardi, the imam (for prayers) of the Feyziyeh School, the central school in the hawza of Qom, was harshly scorned and cursed after he criticized a Shiite narrative about the Sunni caliphs.

...on August 8, 1936 Murid Hussain of Pakistani town Chakwal, who had offered baiy'a (oath of allegiance) to Sufi mystic Khwaja Abdul Aziz Chishti, procured a dagger and killed veterinary doctor Ram Gopal allegedly for naming an animal after the prophet.

"The magazine's first issue exploded like a bomb," renowned writer Ebdurrehimbey Haqverdiyev recalled in his memoirs.
"Mullahs were saying that the magazine should not enter the house of any Muslim. If it does, they said, grab it with tongs and throw it down the toilet.
....
But mocking clerics and campaigning for women's rights came with its own risks.
Mullahs in Persia issued a fatwa calling for Mirza Jalil's death. He was attacked in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, where the magazine was published, and constantly threatened. The city was then the cultural capital of Russia's South Caucasus.
"Had I published the magazine not in Tbilisi but in Baku or Yerevan [capital of modern-day Armenia where Azerbaijanis made up the majority of the population at the time], they would have destroyed my office and killed me," Jalil explained.

On 11 March 1946, while being tried on charges of "slander against Islam," Kasravi and one of his assistants named Seyyed Mohammad Taghi Haddadpour, were knifed and killed in open court in Tehran by Navvab Safavi, a Shi'a extremist cleric who had founded an organization called the Fadayan-e Islam (literally Devotees of Islam), and two of his followers.[7] The same group had failed in assassinating Kasravi earlier in April 1945 in Tehran. Ayatollah Borujerdi and Ayatollah Sadr_al-Din_al-Sadr had issued fatwas for killing Ahmad Kasravi.[8]

That afternoon, I was quaking in my shoes outside a Madrassah, or religious school, where the leaders of the agitation were holding a meeting. Over the loud- speaker came the speeches: 'One million rupees to the man who kills Rushdie', and `The Zia government was better than this one — at least they let us burn down the American embassy' — a reference to an incident in 1979. The audience howled in response, as ex-Senator Kausar Niazi, a failed political opportunist, once in the PPP, and leader of the Association for the Protection of the Name of the Holy Prophet, informed them that 'death squads have already left for England to execute the blasphemer'.

In May 1998, a minister [Raja Zafar] in Sharif’s cabinet had hinted at a possible amendment of the Blasphemy Law. In September 1998, at a seminar, Justice Nazeer Akhtar of Lahore High Court, asserted that there was no need to amend the existing law, and admonished him. He suggested that blasphemers should be killed immediately. Due to a public uproar, the judge subsequently retracted his statement, but only after activating pro-Blasphemy Law religious lobbies. Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani, the leader of the JUP, warned the government of dire consequences if it attempted to amend the Penal Code. The Action Committee of the Namoos-i-Mustafa (the honour of the Prophet), a cross-sectarian committee of ulama and Sufi individuals, organized a countrywide strike to forestall such a move. Consequently, the regime refrained from undertaking any initiative.

1956:  Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, in 1956, published a book entitled "Religious Leaders". This was written by two American authors, H. Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas and was first published in the year 1941. This book inflamed passions of Muslims as it had blasphemous, derogatory and provocative references against Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). A popular Urdu daily from Kanpur, Siasat, which was edited by reputed Urdu journalist of that time Mr. Ishaq Ilmi wrote strong comments, articles and published various news against this book.
.....
That the Muslims at Bareilly were communally excited on reading the daily Siyasat dated the 29th and the 30th August 1956, which were read out to the Muslims by the workers of Jammat Raza Mustafa, Bareilly and held a number of meetings in various mohallas inciting frenzy and bitterness. On September 7, 1956 a procession of Muslims shouted anti-national slogans ‘Hindustan Murdabad’ ‘Pakistan Zindabad’. About the same time some members of the Hindu Mahasabha, Bhartiya Jan Sangh and a number of refugees started counter demonstration and shouted counter slogans. At the crossing of Maniharan ki Gali when the Muslims were returning from Jumma Prayer, there was exchange of hot words between them and the Hindus, which resulted in brick-batting between the sides resulting in injuries to 24 persons.

On the third anniversary of the edict, a group of fifty Iranian writers, intellectuals and professionals in exile in Europe and the United States issued a declaration condemning the death sentence. In response, Ayatollah Janatti, a member of the council of Guardians,[17] banned the works of all those signatories to the declaration.
The newspaper Jumhouri-ye Islami, affiliated with Supreme Religious Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, announced that those Iranians who spoke against the fatwa had joined the list of "infidels" deserving of the death sentence. Nevertheles, by the fourth anniversary of the edict, in February 1993, the number of signatories had increased to 162. The government has effectively banned the works of all the current signatories.
....
On February 3, 1993, Nesin announced that he was going to have The Stannic Verses translated and published in Turkey. The novel has been banned in Turkey since 1989.

July 1986: Liaqat Baloch, Nisar Fatima and Shah Turab ul Haque proposed 295-C clause as Pakistan's blasphemy law

1986:

نو جولائی کو اس بل کو قومـی اسمبلی مـیں بحث کے لیے پیش کیـا گیـا جہاں علماء ارکان نے موت کی سزا پر زور دیـا اور ایوان کے واحد رکن جنہوں نے اس پر تحفظات ظاہر کیے وہ ٹوبہ ٹیک سنگھ سے رکن اسمبلی ایم حمزہ تھے۔
ایم حمزہ اس بل کی منظوری مـیں جلدبازی سے خائف تھے اور ان کا کہنا تھا کہ یہ ایک مبہم، غیر واضح قانون ہے جس کا نہ صرف غلط استعمال ہوگا بلکہ یہ فرقہ وارانہ کشیدگی اور تنازعات کی وجہ بھی بنے گا۔
انہوں نے اس مسودۂ قانون پر عوام کی رائے لینے کی تجویز بھی دی تاکہ اس مـیں موجود سقم دُور کیے جا سکیں تاہم علماء نے ایم حمزہ کی تجاویز کی سخت مخالفت کی اور کہا کہ جب مسلمان قانون دان اس پر متفق ہیں تو اس سلسلے مـیں مزید غوروخوص کی ضرورت نہیں۔
مولانا شاہ تراب الحق قادری نے ایم حمزہ سے کہا کہ وہ اپنا نقطۂ نظر تبدیل کریں اور ساتھ ہی یہ خدشہ بھی ظاہر کیـا کہ اگر یہ قانون منظور نہ کیـا گیـا تو اسمبلی کے بعد فساد پر آمادہ ہجوم جمع ہو جائے گا۔
وزیرِ مملکت مـیر نواز خان مروت نے اس معاملے پر بحث سمـیٹتے ہوئے کہا کہ اس ہجوم کے ایک رکن وہ خود ہوں گے اور یہ بانیِ پاکستان قائدِاعظم محمد علی جناح کی روح اس قانون کی منظوری پر خوش ہوگی۔

In 1988 the first fatwa against the ill famed Salman Rushdie was issued by Raza Academy after obtaining it from Jaanasheene Huzoor Mufti e Aazam which was published in the Daily Hindustan on the 11 November 88 and on 12th November in Inquilab and Urdu Times.

14 Feb 1989: The Iranian Prime Minister Hussain Mousavi has sanctioned Hezbollah groups to "take the necessary action" against the author.

http://articles.latimes.com/1989-02-20/news/mn-29_1_salman-rushdie
20 Feb 1989:

In a harshly worded statement that seemed certain to set the stage for a major conflict with Britain and other Western nations, the 88-year-old Iranian patriarch rejected Rushdie's apology to Muslims on Saturday and said the Indian-born author could "never be forgiven" even if he repents.
"Even if Salman Rushdie repents and becomes the most pious man of all time, it is incumbent upon every Muslim to employ everything he has, his life and wealth, to send him to hell," Khomeini said in a statement released by the official Iranian news agency IRNA.
The Iranian ruler also said that, while it is every Muslim's religious duty to try to kill Rushdie, Iran would also handsomely reward any non-Muslim assassin who got to the author first.

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bradford-witnesses-blazing-protest-against-salman-rushdie/1/323231.html
15 March 1989: Surprisingly the Muslim ire has met with approval from Hindus and Sikhs. Said Hasmukh Shah, general secretary of the Virat Hindu Sammelan and a participant at a recent emergency all-faith meeting in the city: "We are totally with our Muslim brothers. It's them today, it could be us next. We also expect the majority Christian community to show compassion towards the minority." Shah's views have found the ready support of the Bishop of Bradford, who declared publicly that the book "should never have been written", even while initiating steps to defuse tensions.
.....
Meanwhile, inside one of Bradford's 37 mosques two groups of children study the Koran. After returning from school in the evenings, it's here that they gather for lessons in Islam. They are encouraged to recite the text aloud by the two young imams instructing them. The girls sit in a separate hall, and it could be a madrasa in any town of the subcontinent. But it isn't of course. It's the Shearbridge Road Mosque, on the edge of a tree-lined, cobbled Bradford bylane.
As the girls - between five and 13 years - rush through their lessons, Imam Masud Ahmed Qadri, suddenly asks them in Urdu: "Children, have you heard of Salman Rushdie?" They reply in a chorus of affirmation. "So what do you think should be done with him?" he asks. After a minute's pregnant silence, several hands shoot up. "Chop his hands off," replies Safina Khan, 13, in English. "Hang him - he's written wrong things about the Koran," adds Azra Bibi, 12. However extreme that may sound it is nonetheless an indication of how inflamed Muslim passions are. Says Hussein emphatically: "We will not take the law in our hands. But one thing is clear: Rushdie will never lead a normal life, even if the book is withdrawn."

Muslim response to Rushdi fatwa

https://www.alislam.org/books/rushdie/RUSHDIE_Haunted_by_his_unholy_ghosts.pdf
[Ahmadis's view on Rushdie]"There can be no denying that this was not the work of Salman Rushdie alone. His very limited knowledge of Islam coupled with a totally un-Islamic upbringing, the huge financial backing to this project and the similarity with earlier literary attacks on the Holy Prophet(sa) and Islam, all point to a powerful conspiracy against the religion that is regarded as a threat to Western thinking and idealism. All the signs point to a conspiracy between the Jews and the Christians in collusion with a mercenary, or indeed a modern day Faust. It was as if this union or marriage was devised and made, not in Heaven, but in the other place !"

On or around 23 August 1995, the bookshop and publishing house Morgh­e­Amin, located on the Karim Khand Zand Avenue in Tehran, was set on fire as the result of the explosion of a bomb by private individuals. According to information received by the Special Rapporteur, the arson attack was related to the publication of a novel written by Mr. Mohamad Reza Koshbin Khoshnazar and entitled Khodayegan Doshanbeha Mikhandand ("Gods laugh on Mondays") that had apparently aroused the anger of the arsonists. Furthermore, one employee was allegedly kidnapped for a number of hours and severely mistreated by unknown individuals. The aggressors reportedly identified themselves as members of the police force and threatened to kill the director of the publishing house and bookshop, Mr. Ebrahim Rahimi Khamenei, comparing him to the British writer Salman Rushdie. Mr. Khamenei had reportedly received a number of threats over the telephone, prior to this violent incident. Allegedly, the arson attack and harassment in relation to the book provoked controversy in the press, whereupon the book was banned and remaining copies of it seized, even though it had previously received a licence for printing, publication and distribution from the Ministry of Islamic Culture and Guidance. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency, the security forces were reviewing the violent incident.
.....
The Special Rapporteur has received information indicating that certain bureaucratic elements have explicitly expressed their support for the use of violence and harassment as in the incidents described in the previous paragraphs. According to this information, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, a member of the Guardian Council, President of the Islamic Propagation Organization and Commander of the Board for the Suppression of Vice and the Ordering of Virtue was alleged to have publicly supported the violent action taken against the Morgh-e-Amin publishing house, claiming that the assailants were following a directive by the late leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini. Reportedly, on 25 August 1995, Ayatollah Jannati publicly advised the authorities not to punish the people who had fire bombed the publishing house and bookshop in question since, in the opinion reportedly expressed by Ayatollah Jannati, these people "had done what the authorities should have done in accordance with Ayatollah Khomeini's political testament". Ayatollah Jannati reportedly added to these words the following: "The will of our dear Imam and his guidelines in his testament are above any law, even those of our Islamic Constitution." He, furthermore, reportedly stated that the publisher in question had committed a crime by publishing the literary work entitled "Gods laugh on Mondays", even though the work had received prior authorization for publication, as required for all publications under Iranian law.

Actually when exactly the same issue - naudbillah intoxication of Maula Ali (alaihissalam) - was raised 11 years ago on 12th February 1997 by Daily 'Pakistan' and its owner editor Akbar Bhatti - then MNA - was unrepentant, Sheikh Bashir Najafi had responded a request about handling the situation by saying that if he was in Pakistan, he would have found it wajib for himself to kill that man. This was not a fatwa, but the response of a marja' who is Pakistani by nationality.

Marcel Khalifeh

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/Archive/1999/451/re6.htm
Oct 12, 1999: The suit against the singer had been filed in 1996 by Dar Al-Fatwa, the highest Sunni Muslim religious authority in Lebanon and the seat of the country's Grand Mufti, Mohamed Rashid Qabbani. ...

After the revival of the case, Qabbani commented that the move was necessary, since Al-Azhar, Egypt's highest Sunni religious authority, had forbidden "any musical arrangement of a Qur'anic verse in order to prevent any violation of Islam". Al-Azhar's rulings are generally followed by Sunni Muslims the world over.
Nevertheless, Lebanon's leading Shi'a Muslim cleric, Sayed Mohamed Hussein Fadlallah, denied that Khalifeh had insulted Islam by singing the words. "The performance of a poem, including a verse from the Koran, is not an offense to the sacredness of the holy book when that performance is for humanitarian ends," he said. Another renowned Shi'ite cleric, Sayed Mohamed Hassan Amin, who last year sanctioned cloning for medical purposes, shared this view.
The Higher Shi'ite Council's (HSC) reaction on Monday was, however, more conciliatory. A statement said that although the HSC opposed Khalifeh's being brought before a court, it still considered the inclusion of a Qur'anic verse in a song to be a religious violation.
According to the statement, the head of the HSC, Sheikh Mohamed Mehdi Shamseddine, said that he accepted Dar Al-Fatwa's position on the matter because this complied with Islamic religious considerations but that he opposed having the case tried in court. "Our job as religious leaders is only to issue religious rulings," the statement said. Both Fadlallah and Amin are known to be at odds with Shamseddine on religious as well as political matters.

20 Sep 1999: London-based human rights activist Hussein Bagherzadeh, author of a "Neshat" article criticizing capital punishment, is the object of this attention, according to "Akhbar-i Eqtesad" on 12 September. At the end of August, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had termed Bagherzadeh an apostate for attacking Islamic rulings, and "in Islam, an apostate must be destroyed." The hardline weekly "Jebhe" said: "if the sources of emulation approve the fatwa that the author of 'Neshat' daily is an apostate, 'Jebhe' will allocate a hundred million rial [$11.1 million at the unofficial exchange rate] reward for the revolutionary execution of this despicable element." 

Islamic Culture and Guidance Minister Ataollah Mohajerani said Bagherzadeh is not an apostate and "no religious scholar would issue such an edict," Reuters reported on 11 September. 

A few religious scholars might be willing to issue a fatwa, although their authority is nowhere near that of Father of the Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini when he issued the Rushdie decree. Speaking in Mashhad, Ayatollah Abbas Vaez-Tabasi said: "Denying and rejecting divine and religiously binding commands amounts to apostasy and the punishment for that is execution," IRNA reported on 14 September. And on 7 September, Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fazel-Movahedi-Lankarani reconfirmed the importance of Islamic retribution, giving as an example the Rushdie decree: "This fatwa has led to the complete isolation of Salman Rushdie, who wishes death for himself every day." (Bill Samii)

Following the closure of Khordad newspaper on 26 November 1999, Hojjatoleslam Abdollah Nouri of Khordad was tried on 20 vaguely worded charges that did not amount to internationally recognisable criminal offences. They related to defamation and insult and included accusations of publishing 'anti-Islamic' articles, insulting government officials, promoting friendly relations with the United States of America and giving publicity to Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, a senior religious figure under house arrest since 1997.
Abdollah Nouri was tried and sentenced to five years' imprisonment by a special court, the Special Court for The Clergy (SCC), in which procedures fell far short of international standards for fair trial.

http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1089601.html
9 Sep 1998: There are other theological reasons why the fatwa cannot be rescinded, according to Ayatollah Abdullah Vaez-Javadi-Amoli, a member of the Assembly of Experts who was close to Khomeini.

In February 1997 he celebrated the anniversary of the ruling against Rushdie. Javadi-Amoli said the fatwa could not be changed because it was "an edict (Persian: hokm) which is permanent (Arabic: hayy la yamut, does not die) and it will stay in place until it is carried out. ... We hope that it will not be long before the edict of the departed Imam (Khomeini) will be carried out in the best way possible."

12 Sep 1998: Correspondents say hard-liners opposed to the moderate government of President Mohammad Khatami appear to be mounting a backlash against the deal intended to remove the last obstacle to normal diplomatic relations between Britain and Iran.
"I heard that England is under the illusion that the fatwa against the apostate Rushdie will be revoked," Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Fazel Lankarani said in a statement.
"This fatwa is irrevocable and cannot be changed at any time. It is obligatory to carry out the fatwa."
Nouri Hamedani, another Grand Ayatollah, said the fatwa must be enforced and no high-ranking Muslim scholar can issue a fatwa to reverse it.
Ayatollah Hossein Mazaheri, who is a representative for Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also said the edict remains valid.
"The execution of the divine death sentence remains a duty for every Muslim until the day of resurrection," he said.

Amir Kabir University play (1999)

https://www.ifex.org/iran/1999/10/29/four_students_and_an_academic_accused/
https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/sep/27/iran
27 Sep 1999: Iran's conservative clerics have compared two university students to Salman Rushdie for writing a satirical play they regard as blasphemous, and one grand ayatollah has issued a fatwa saying that their execution would be justified.

The incident is provoking a wide debate about the limits on freedom of expression in Islam, a debate many fear could explode into protests as university classes get into full swing this week.
A student magazine, the Wave, published the work nearly a month ago, but it went unnoticed until a hardline paper highlighted it last week.
Ayatollah Hossein Mazaheri, who recently reaffirmed the fatwa against Rushdie - the British writer whose novel Satanic Verses caused the late Ayatollah Khomeini to issue the death decree against him in 1989 - has declared the students at Amir Kabir technical university apostates.
"The writers of this text and all those who published it were aware of its filthy contents. Under the sacred law of Islam, they are condemned to execution," he said.
The student play satirised one of the holiest figures in Shi'ite Islam, the Twelfth Imam, whose return to earth to usher in an era of perfect justice is eagerly awaited by the pious. He is portrayed in conversation with a student.
Even reformers consider it in poor taste but they object to the harsh action against the students.
One ayatollah broke down in tears during Friday prayers in central Tehran. "They openly and overtly insulted the Imam of the Age," Ayatollah Ahmed Jannati said. "Death to the hypocrites," shouted the crowd.
Conservative clerics say there is no flexibility in Islam permitting such satire or the portrayal of holy figures.
"Differences in opinion are not open to all in case of religious sanctities, only to the theologians who are experts," said Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi, the leading ideologue of the right.

http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1342947.html
4 Oct 1999: Giving the Friday prayer sermon on 1 October, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei moved to quell the uproar that emerged over a play about the 12th Imam that was published in an Amir Kabir University student magazine called "Mowj."
....
This statement was a direct reaction to Ayatollah Hussein Mazaheri's 26 September statement that the "writers of this text and those who published it...are condemned to execution." Also, National Police counterintelligence chief Brigadier-General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, who was recently acquitted of torturing suspects, volunteered to implement the "divine verdict" against the authors, "Qods" reported on 28 September. 

The authors of the play were arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security shortly after the story broke (see "RFE/RL Iran Report," 27 September 1999). Some people blamed foreigners for encouraging the authors, while others, such as President Hojatoleslam Mohammad Khatami, said the crisis was little more than the creation of Iranian hardliners. 

At the 24 September Friday Prayers of Qom, Ayatollah Abdullah Vaez-Javadi-Amoli described the play as part of a Western plot to destroy Islam. In Tehran, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said the writers "should be given the most severe punishment possible. ...we must find the real culprit in order to ensure that there will be no second, third, and fourth culprits." Parliamentary speaker Hojatoleslam Ali-Akbar Nateq-Nuri termed the play a "grave catastrophe" which "cannot be unrelated to foreigners." The Expediency Council termed the play "a token of the machinations of the world arrogance against the Islamic Republic," according to IRNA on 25 September. The Culture and Higher Education Ministry said the whole affair stemmed from an attempt to create a crisis at the beginning of the academic year by "hegemonist America, international Zionism, and counterrevolutionaries who are acting as foreign agents." 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/464912.stm

4 Oct 1999: The fact that there is going to be a trial is in one sense good news for President Khatami.
At the height of the tension last week, a senior cleric said the playwrights must be executed for insulting Islam. And a senior police commander threatened to kill them himself.
Later, the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, defused the situation by expressing support for President Khatami and ordering conservatives to back down. He also issued a warning against any arbitrary action.

13 Oct 2002:  BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Shiite Muslim clerics in Lebanon and Iran have reacted with rage at the Rev. Jerry Falwell for calling Islam's prophet a terrorist and an envoy of Iran's supreme leader reportedly called for his death.
Iranian cleric Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, addressing weekly Friday prayers in the northwestern town of Tabriz, said Falwell was a ''mercenary and must be killed,'' the Farsi-language daily Abrar reported Saturday.
 ''The death of that man is a religious duty, but his case should not be tied to the Christian community,'' Shabestari, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was quoted as saying.
   In an interview broadcast last week on the CBS program ''60 Minutes,'' Falwell said: ''I think (Prophet) Muhammad was a terrorist''.
   The conservative Baptist minister said he has concluded from reading Muslim and non-Muslim writers that Islam's prophet ''was a violent man, a man of war.''
   In Lebanon Saturday, Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah called on Muslim countries to respond to Falwell who, he said, had ''infringed on the prophet (Muhammad's) dignity.''
   Fadlallah, however, cautioned against resorting to ''physical violence'' against Falwell, saying Islam is ''a religion of mercy and love.''
...
   But other Muslim clerics held different opinion.
   ''Although (Falwell's) opinion is insulting, he can be answered through dialogue so that all ambiguities in his mind are cleared,'' Iranian Ayatollah Hussein Mousavi Tabrizi said.
   Tabrizi refused to compare Falwell to British author Salman Rushdie, against whom the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian revolution, issued a death verdict in the 1980s for blaspheming Islam in his book ''Satanic Verses.''
   ''Rushdie is a symbol of the red line between Islamic countries and the West. But we will not issue a death verdict against the priest. Iran is a country that promotes dialogue among civilizations,'' Tabrizi told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Extract from the page 101 of the book "Ahmadinejad: The Secret History of Iran's Radical Leader" By Kasra Naji

Mesbah has consistently espoused violence against his opponents. He has said that he believes trials are not needed to convict and execute offenders: "If anyone insults Islamic sanctity, Islam has permitted for his blood to be spilled, no court needed either." When in June 2002, Dr. Hashem Aghajari, a professor of history and an Islamic leftist, said in a speech in the city of Hamadan, "People are not monkeys to blindly emulate the clerics," and called for Islamic Protestantism, Mesbah called for his execution for "insulting Islam." Hardline judges allied with Mesbah sentenced Aghajari to death, a verdict overturned a year later by Iran's Supreme Court. Investigative journalist Akbar Ganji accused Mesbah in December 2000 of encouraging his disciples to issue a fatwa for the murders of dissidents and intellectuals during what is known as the Chain Murders.
In 2007, after several young people were murdered in the city of Kerman, the culprits -- members of the Basij militia -- claimed in court that they had decided to commit the murders after hearing a speech by Mesbah.

1 May 2002:

A blasphemous article published late last month in the government-owned newspaper, Iran, has sent a wave of resentment in people belonging to different walks of life in Iran.
The article, written by an Iranian journalist Banafsheh Samgis said that the holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) and Hazrat Sakina Bintul Hussain (Peace of Allah be upon them) enjoyed listening to music.
Hundreds of students of Hoza Ilmia Khurramabad launched a protest rally against the newspaper.
In the holy city of Qom, the clerics staged a protest rally Monday calling for the punishment of Culture Minister Ahmad Masjed Jame'ei and Abdollah Nasseri Taheri, who is in charge of the official Iranian news agency as well as the Iran daily, according to the Bonyan newspaper Wednesday.
"God's verdict should be enforced against them," the clerics chanted.

Jan 12, 2003:  Thousands of conservative clerical students have staged a strike and demonstrations in the Iranian holy city of Qom in protest at a cartoon published in a reformist newspaper which they believe insulted the late leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini.

The newspaper has been suspended by a special court and three of its employees are reported to have been arrested.

While Britain denies there ever was an attack, a grave marker in Tehran trumpets "the first martyr to die on a mission to kill Salman Rushdie" in London. The grave marker is for an unknown 21-year-old Lebanese man who went by the name Mustafa Mahmoud Mazeh. He died in London Aug. 3, 1989, when a book bomb he was assembling in a London hotel exploded. Rushdie had gone into hiding in England earlier in the year after Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or death sentence, against him following the publication of "The Satanic Verses." But British security services have never owned up to what they know of Mazeh, or given details of any assassination attempt against Rushdie in Britain, The Times of London said. At an inquest in January 1990, Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad said there was only "a hint" that Mazeh belonged to a terrorist group, and his reason for being in London was "not clear."

5 June 2004:

Thousands of Iranians have signed up for suicide attacks on Israel, U.S.-led forces in Iraq and British author Salman Rushdie, a recruiting group said.
...

"Some 10,000 people have registered their names to carry out martyrdom operations on our defined targets," said Mohammad Ali Samadi, a spokesman for the Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign.

But he said the group would need the green light from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to launch the attacks.
"Salman Rushdie is the only non-military target for us, because we believe his attack against Islam was much worse that a military assault," the spokesman said.

http://www.dawn.com/news/380576

19 Jan 2005:  "They talk about respect towards all religions, but they support such a mahdour al-damm mortad as Salman Rushdie," Ayatollah Khamenei said. In the Shariat, "mortad" is a reference to someone who has committed apostasy by leaving Islam while "mahdour al-damm" is a term applying to someone whose blood may be shed with impunity.

March 11, 2005: Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, which answers directly to the current Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a statement saying it considers the fatwa valid and "irrevocable." The statement warned that "the day will come when they will punish the apostate Rushdie for his scandalous acts and insults against the Koran and the Prophet [Muhammad]."

Ali Mohaqqeq-Nasab (Oct 2005)

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/23/international/asia/journalist-convicted-of-blasphemy-in-afghanistan.html
https://jamestown.org/program/editor-of-afghan-womens-magazine-arrested-for-blasphemy/ 
3 Nov 2005:  Two articles in particular provoked the ire of Shiite clerics. One criticized the severity of Islamic law, especially the punishment of 100 lashes for those found guilty of adultery. The other suggested that abandoning Islam could not be considered a crime. Afghan conservatives are currently campaigning for the adoption of penalties envisaged by Islamic Law (Sharia) (Daily Outlook Afghanistan, October 12).
His case is not the first one that involves blasphemy. Another highly publicized case was the arrest and detention of the editor of the weekly Aftab (the Sun) in 2003. The accused in that case was kept for a week, released on bail, and, fearing for his life, fled the country (Anis, October 10).
What makes Mohaqqeq-Nasab’s case rather serious is that he is accused by both Shiite and Sunni clerics, representing the minority and majority sects in Afghanistan respectively. Members of the Shiite Clergy Council brought the case to the attention of President Hamid Karzai’s religious advisor.

https://rsf.org/en/news/editor-ali-mohaqiq-nasab-gets-two-years-prison-blasphemy
http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1062290.html 
20 Oct 2005: Robert Kluyver, the country representative for the Open Society Institute in Afghanistan, believes the case is politically motivated. He said Mohaqiq Nasab ran into trouble with conservative Shi'ite clerics when he was campaigning as a candidate for parliament.
"It is a case where conservative Shi'a clerics are fighting the more moderate Shi'a. In other words, it very much reminds one of the problem that exists in Iran. It was a general Shi'a issue. Meanwhile, Ali Mohaqeq Nasab was also a candidate for parliament [and was] attacked by more conservative Shi'a clergy for his more modernist views on religion," Kluyver said.

http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2005-11-27/news/0511260196_1_clerics-islamic-president-hamid-karzai 

27 Nov 2005: The prosecutors say Ali Mohaqeq Nasab deserves to die for what he did. Jailers shaved his head. He was pulled into court wearing handcuffs and leg shackles.
His crime? He is no killer, no kidnapper, no rapist. In a case reminiscent of the strict Taliban era, Nasab has been sentenced to two years in prison for blasphemy, for going against Islam. And prosecutors are appealing.
Muhammad Aref Rahmani, a member of the national Shiite Council of Ulema, or Islamic scholars, said he felt fear reading through the first seven issues of Women's Rights magazine. He worried that Nasab opened the door to Muslims converting to Christianity and Judaism, which would move Afghanistan toward secularism, liberalism and infidelity.
"Sometimes the whole religion and the rules of the religion were attacked," Rahmani said. "For instance, he says one woman should be equal to one man, as a witness in a case, which is completely against our religion."

29 Jan 2006: Head of the Shia Clerics Society in Kuwait Sayyed Muhammad Baqer Al-Mohri has severely condemned publishing of insulting caricatures to Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his pure progeny) in Danish and Norwegian newspapers.  In a statement, Al-Mohri said such acts are far from spirit of freedom, democracy and all international norms.  He demanded from the respective governments to try these publications, shut these, officially say sorry to all Muslims and ensure repetition of such insults for all holy signs whether these are Islamic or Christianity or any other.  Al-Mohri said he being legal representative of Marje Diniyah issue verdict that purchasing goods relating to these countries is illegal.

2 Feb 2006: Hezbollah leader Hassan NasrAllah saying: “If any Muslim had carried out the fatwa of Imam Khomeini against the apostate Salman Rushdie, then those despicable people would not have dared to insult the Prophet Muhammad—not in Denmark, not in Norway, and not in France......This is about the Prophet of the Muslims, the Prophet of 1.4 billion Muslims. I am certain that not only millions but hundreds of millions of Muslims are ready and willing to sacrifice their lives in order to defend the honor of their Prophet.”

6 Feb 2006:  Hundreds of angry protesters threw stones and firebombs at the Danish embassy in Tehran today to protest against the publication of cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. Police had encircled the embassy building but were unable to hold back up to 400 demonstrators as they pelted the mission with stones and incendiary devices.

6 Feb 2006: Syrian protesters set fire to the Norwegian and Danish embassies in Damascus on Saturday. The governments of the United States and Norway have placed the blame for that rioting squarely on the Syrian government for failing to protect the embassies.
"It's totally unacceptable, and we are going to raise the question with the United Nations because this is a violation of international law," Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told Reuters.
But Syria blamed Denmark for the violence. The Danish government should have apologized for the caricatures, published in the Danish independent newspaper Jyllands-Posten, said an editorial in Syria's state-run daily newspaper. The Danish prime minister and Jyllands-Posten apologized last week if the cartoons gave offense, but upheld the newspaper's right to print them.
But many observers quietly questioned how intense unrest could possibly erupt in a country as tightly controlled as Syria — unless there was tacit approval from the regime. Attempts to stage similar demonstrations over the Palestinian uprising and the war in Iraq have been brutally squashed in recent years.
...
Lebanon's Grand Mufti Mohammed Rashid Kabbani also blamed infiltrators for the violence, which he called an attempt to "harm the stability of Lebanon."...
Of the more than 170 protesters arrested, 76 were Syrian, Reuters reported. An additional 38 were Lebanese, 35 were Palestinian and 25 were stateless Bedouins.
....
As they moved through the streets toward the Danish Consulate, some demonstrators spray-painted slogans on storefronts and ripped down commemorative posters of Gibran Tueni, the critic of Syria and Christian newspaper publisher who was assassinated in December.
"This is not violence, this is the right of every Muslim to fight for the prophet," said Ali Allameh, a bearded cleric whose hair was tied back with a bandanna. "Those who insult the prophet are not people, are not human beings. They're pigs and chimpanzees. Even pigs are better than these people."
7 Feb 2006: Speaking to Iranian air force personnel, Ayatollah Khamenei said the cartoons were a scandal, particularly as they came "from those who champion civilisation and free expression".
"The west condemns any denial of the Jewish Holocaust, but it permits the insult of Islamic sanctities," Ayatollah Khamenei said. The caricatures amounted to a "conspiracy by Zionists who were angry because of the victory of Hamas," he said.
Yesterday, hundreds of Iranians hurled stones and petrol bombs at the Danish and Austrian embassies in Tehran in protest against the cartoons. The Austrian mission was targeted as the country currently holds the EU presidency.
A bestselling Iranian newspaper, Hamshari, announced it was retaliating by holding a competition to find the best images satirising the Holocaust.

9 Feb 2006: A mournful Ashoura procession by Shiite Muslims in Indian-controlled Kashmir turned to political protest on Thursday, as crowds chanted slogans condemning the recent publication of cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.  In breaks between the chanting led by men practising traditional self-flagellation, the crowds protested against Denmark, Israel, Britain, France and the United States.

10 Feb 2006: Around 60 protesters in Tehran threw firebombs at the French Embassy, shattering nearly every window on its street facade.
The demonstration occurred despite a cleric at one of the Iranian capital's most prominent mosques urging people not to attack diplomatic missions in his Friday sermon.
"Down! Down with France! Down! Down with Israel," the crowd chanted.
One firebomb exploded inside the embassy and started a small blaze that was quickly extinguished.
Earlier in the day, Iranian Police encircled the Danish Embassy and were able to hold back the dozens of protesters as they gathered outside.
Hussein Mahallati, a university student said, "We are here to say that insulting the holy prophet of Islam is not tolerable for Muslims, especially for Shiites in Iran."
In Iraq, protesters gathered in Sadr City, a predominantly Shiite area of Baghdad, to denounce the caricatures.
Thousands gathered to march, chanting anti-Danish and anti-American slogans, and carrying banners reading: "Insulting the Prophet Mohamed is an insult to Islam."
The protest was organised by followers of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, an outspoken critic of the US-led coalition. Protesters called on Denmark to apologise.

12 Feb 2006: Following violent protests last week in the capital, Damascus, against negative depictions of the prophet Mohamed in a Danish newspaper, charges have been filed against a journalist who called for peaceful dialogue to settle the issue.  Following his arrest on 7 February, journalist Adel Mahfouz has been charged with insulting public religious sentiment, an offence under Syrian criminal law. He could face up to three years in prison if found guilty.

http://www.dawn.com/news/179942
23 Feb 2006:

The demonstration was organized by the Shia Ulema and Zaeen from the platform of the Shia Ulema Council Pakistan. It was addressed by prominent Shia leaders including Allama Hasan Turabi, Allama Qanber Abbas Naqvi and others.
Protestors were carrying placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the publication of blasphemous cartoons in European newspapers. They also chanted slogans against the blasphemous act and the persons responsible for it.
They vowed to sacrifice their lives for Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat (SAW).
The protestors demanded severing of diplomatic ties with countries where the blasphemous material was published and called for exemplary punishment to those involved.

16 April 2006: Adnan al-Sayegh, another Iraqi poet exiled in London, concurs. After fleeing Iraq under threat of death when one of his poems offended Saddam’s regime, al-Sayegh decided to return to his homeland in the spring of 2006. At a public reading in Basra, an armed Shia militiaman walked in and threatened to cut out his tongue, calling his poem “Slightly Mischievous Verses” sacrilegious. Terrified, al-Sayegh fled back to London. “After Saddam, we thought there would be freedom,” he explains from his central London flat, “but it’s still dangerous to publish even now.”
A friend of al-Sayegh’s, a poet and journalist, wrote an article about alSayegh’s spring reading in Basra and the incident with the militiaman but was too afraid to put his name on the article. “We are afraid now,” says alSayegh of artists in Iraq, momentarily forgetting his own recent exile, “of including any religious element in our work. Artists cannot depict a mosque in their paintings; writers can’t write anything about Islam. We are all afraid of offending the extremists.”

Roman Catholics in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) have received Muslim support in protests against the release of the movie, The Da Vinci Code.
.....
"The Holy Koran recognises Jesus as a prophet. What the book says is an insult to both Christians and Muslims," Maulana Mansoor Ali Khan, general secretary of the All-India Sunni Jamiyat-ul-Ulema, told the Reuters news agency.

His stance was supported by Syed Noori, president of Mumbai-based Raza Academy, a Muslim cultural organisation that organises protests on issues concerning Islam.
"If the government doesn't do anything, we will try our own ways of stopping the film from being shown," he said. "We are prepared for violent protests in India if needed."

15 Sep 2006: Lebanon's most senior Shiite Muslim cleric on Friday denounced Pope Benedict XVI's recent remarks about Muslim holy war, and demanded the pope personally apologize for insulting Islam.
"We do not accept the apology through Vatican channels ... And ask him (Benedict) to offer a personal apology - not through his officials - to Muslims for this false reading (of Islam)," Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah told worshippers in his Friday prayers sermon. "We call on the pope to carry out a scientific and fastidious reading of Islam. We do not want him to succumb to the propaganda of the enemy led by Judaism and imperialism against Islam," Fadlallah said. (AP)

18 Sep 2006: An influential Iranian cleric, Ahmad Khatami, warned that if the Pope did not apologise, the "outcry will continue until he fully regrets his remarks". He suggested "the Pope should fall on his knees in front of a senior Muslim cleric and try to understand Islam".

http://www.jafariyanews.com/2k6_news/sep/18tnfj_meeting.htm
18 Sep 2006: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi terming the Pope’s excuse of his insulting remarks against Islam as insufficient has said that no one could forgive for humiliation of Islam, Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW), and Sha’a’ir-Ullah and the only solution is that Pope Benedict should give up his office, go to his place of worship and seek forgiveness because he has also violated the principles of Christianity and there would remain no need to tighten security around him after he leaves his religious duty.

Rafik Tagi (2006)

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-religion-iran-azerbaijan-idUSBLA13707220061121

21 Nov 2006: An Iranian cleric has offered his house as a reward to anyone who kills an Azeri writer he says insulted the Prophet Mohammad, the Fars News Agency reported.
Last week, an Azeri court jailed journalist Rafika Tagi, who wrote an article in Azerbaijan's Senet newspaper illustrated by cartoons of the Prophet. The cartoons were originally published in Denmark and caused an outcry in the Muslim world earlier this year.
Tagi and the paper's editor were each jailed for two months.

"Whoever kills this Azeri writer who insulted the Prophet Mohammad, I will give him my house as a reward," Ayatollah Morteza Bani Fazl said in the northwestern city of Tabriz, Fars reported late on Monday.

The threat echoed a religious ruling, or fatwa, issued by the founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, against British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemy in his book "The Satanic Verses".

Ayotallah Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, another senior Shi'ite cleric, also said the Azeri writer deserved to be killed based on Khomeini's fatwa, Fars said.

"The sentence issued by Khomeini for Rushdie, could also be carried out against all those who insult Islam and the Prophet," said the cleric, who leads Friday prayers in Tabriz, which is close to the border with Azerbaijan.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6158195.stm
29 Nov 2006: One of Iran's most senior clergymen has issued a fatwa on an Azeri writer said to have insulted the Prophet Muhammad.
The call on Muslims to murder Rafiq Tagi, who writes for Azerbaijan's Senet newspaper, echoes the Iranian fatwa against Indian writer Salman Rushdie.
It was issued by the conservative Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fazel Lankarani.
The writings of Rafiq Tagi sparked recent demonstrations outside the Azerbaijani embassy in the Iranian capital, Teheran.
The Iranian media is reporting that Grand Ayatollah Lankarani's followers inside the republic of Azerbaijan wrote to him asking for advice about what they called "the apostate writer".
They accuse the Azeri writer of portraying Christianity as superior to Islam and Europe as superior to the Middle East.
They allege that he has ridiculed all the sanctities of Islam and done it knowingly, fully aware of the consequences of his action.
In response, Grand Ayatollah Lankarani is said to have issued a fatwa calling for the death of the writer and also the person responsible for publishing his articles.
Earlier, an Iranian cleric had offered his house as a reward to anyone who killed the Azeri writer.
But this latest fatwa comes from one of the dozen or so Grand Ayatollahs in Iran, who has a large following.
An Azerbaijani court sentenced the writer Rafiq and his publisher to two months in jail for an article which was illustrated by the same cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad originally published in Denmark that caused outcry in the Muslim world.

https://iwpr.net/global-voices/blasphemy-row-inflames-azerbaijan
7 Dec 2006: For the past three weeks, residents of the village of Nardaran, close to Baku, have been demonstrating every Friday to demand severe punishment of Azerbaijani journalist Rafik Taghi, who is accused of having insulted the Prophet Mohammed in an article published by the little-known Azerbaijani newspaper, Senet.
....
“Last week we, the residents of Nardaran, condemned Rafik Taghi and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper”, said Haji Ali, beginning his speech. “Our religion knows only one punishment for such people, which is execution. This is not our decision, this is what our holy book prescribes. The authorities sentenced the journalists to two weeks in custody. But that is not enough!”

Nardaran became famous after bloody clashes between its residents and police in 2002. (See Azerbaijan: Rebel Village Remains Defiant, CRS 133, June 13, 2002). Since then, the village has become a stronghold for Shia Islamists opposed to the government. All walls on its narrow streets are covered with religious inscriptions, and locals are keen to vent their anger against the authorities in Baku.

4 May 2007: Correspondent Rafik Tagi received a three-year prison sentence, while his editor, Samir Sadagatoglu, received a four-year sentence.
The scene inside the courtroom was chaotic, with Islamists chanting prayers in an attempt to prevent the lawyer representing Tagi and Sadagatoglu from addressing the court.
.....
Islamic fundamentalists in Azerbaijan have issued death sentences against the two journalists. A leading Iranian cleric, Ayatollah Muhammad Fazel Lankarani, has issued a fatwa, calling for the deaths of the two journalists.

https://rsf.org/en/news/journalist-critical-islam-dies-four-days-after-being-stabbed-attacker
23 Nov 2011:  Rafiq Tagi died today from the multiple stab wounds he received at the hands of an unidentified assailant as he was returning to his Baku home on foot on the night of 19 November.

https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/32000/mde130992011en.pdf
1 Dec 2011: The publication of the article was quickly followed by demonstrations in the Azerbaijani village of Nardaran, in which demonstrators reportedly made death threats against Rafiq Tagi and the newspaper’s editor Samir Sədəqətoglu.
The protests spread to Iran, which has a substantial ethnic Azerbaijani minority, and culminated in the issuing of the fatwa by Grand Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani, stating that the killing of both the article’s author and the editor was “necessary”. Two other Iranian clerics, Ayatollah Morteza Bani Fazl and Ayatollah Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, also reportedly called for Rafiq Tagi’s killing.
The Iranian authorities never condemned these fatwas, which appear to be an incitement to murder, nor have they clarified that anyone suspected of inciting, planning, carrying out or aiding attacks on Rafiq Tagi or Samir Sədəqətoglu should be brought to justice
.....
On 28 November 2011, Grand Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani’s son, Ayatollah Mohammad Javad Lankarani posted a statement on his website congratulating Rafiq Tagi’s killer and commemorating his father’s fatwa which had called for Rafiq Tagi’s death.

20 Feb 2012: Ayatollah Fazil Lankarani, the cleric who had called on believers to kill Kagi in 2006, has since died but his son, Mohammad Javad Lankarani, also a cleric, applauded Rafiq Tagi’s murder, praising the killers for “sending the reprobate who insulted the Prophet to hell.” And one of the official Iranian newspapers wrote approvingly that “Azerbaijan’s Salman Rushdie is dead.” As 70% of Azerbaijanis are Shia with allegiances to the Iranian clergy, it did not prove difficult to incite someone to murder Rafiq Tagi.

7 Feb 2007: Legislators and conservative clerics in Iran have expressed outrage over a government-sponsored test for teachers that they say insults the Prophet Muhammad.
....

Shirzad Abdollahi, a Tehran-based education expert, tells RFE/RL that the questions were reportedly based on information in a book by a well-respected Islamic philosopher, Ayatollah Mohammad Tabatabai....
But some questions were deemed so offensive that newspapers have refrained from publishing them. Others are available on news websites.


Several questions concerned Muhammad's appearance -- including the color of his hair and his beard. Others explored his sleep and eating habits.


One question asked teachers how Muhammad compared himself to the Prophet Joseph, with the answers focusing on who is "more beautiful" or "cuter." The choices were: "I am more beautiful than Joseph"; "Joseph is more beautiful than me"; "I am cuter than Joseph"; or lastly, "Joseph is more beautiful than me, but I am more beautiful than him."


Another asked what properties a rooster has that were not characteristic of Muhammad. Answers included references to punctuality and male pride, insatiability, scavenging food, and walking quickly.
The head of the parliament's Culture Committee, Emad Afrough, asked explicitly what the difference is between these questions and the "caricatures that were drawn against the prophet in Denmark."
...

A number of legislators have argued that Education Minister Mahmud Farshidi should be held responsible. Farshidi apologized in a letter to clerics in Qom. He has said the official in charge of the test was dismissed and a judiciary investigation begun.


A Farshidi adviser, Ali Zoelm, has said the Education Ministry is monitoring the case to determine whether it was the result of deliberate action or ignorance.


Several clerics have condemned the test. Radio Farda quoted Ayatollah Mohammad Fazel Lankarani as claiming that "all people should react because this is a very big insult."

Student newspapers of Amir Kabir university (May 2007)

https://www.ifex.org/iran/2007/05/17/student_editors_jailed_for_allegedly/
15 May 2007: They contained three controversial articles and two caricatures deemed critical of the Iranian regime and insulting to Islam.

One article questions the infallibility of the Prophet Mohammad, the first Shiite Imam Ali, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to CPJ sources familiar with the Persian-language newsletters. Another story criticizes the regime's crackdown on modern female clothing, and a third ridicules Islamic women's attire.

The four arrested editors issued a statement May 3 saying that the newsletters fraudulently used the names and logos of their publications, according to AUTNews. The editors claimed that student members of the Basij - a militia affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, an elite unit under the supreme leader's control - reproduced the names and logos in an attempt to disrupt the elections to the Islamic Student Association, AUTNews said. Immediately following distribution of the newsletters, the Basij attacked the publications and their activist leaders, according to online sources.

18 June 2007: In the Iranian capital Tehran, officials of a group called The Organisation to Commemorate the Martyrs of the Muslim World said a £80,000 reward should be paid to anyone 'who was able to execute the apostate Salman Rushdie'.
Forouz Rajaefar, the general secretary, said that the decision to honour Rushdie with a knight-hood demonstrated the animosity of Britain towards Islam.
He added: "The British and the supporters of the anti-Islam Salman Rushdie could rest assured that the writer's nightmare will not end until the moment of his death and we will bestow kisses on the hands of whomsoever is able to execute this apostate."

31 Jan 2008:

The fate of Sayed Pervez Kambaksh has led to domestic and international protests, and deepening concern about erosion of civil liberties in Afghanistan. He was accused of blasphemy after he downloaded a report from a Farsi website which stated that Muslim fundamentalists who claimed the Koran justified the oppression of women had misrepresented the views of the prophet Mohamed.
... Afghan Senate passed a motion yesterday confirming the death sentence. The MP who proposed the ruling condemning Mr Kambaksh was Sibghatullah Mojaddedi, a key ally of Mr Karzai. The Senate also attacked the international community for putting pressure on the Afghan government and urged Mr Karzai not to be influenced by outside un-Islamic views.

....
according to Spiegel Online report, Susanne Winter, a right-wing woman politician with the Freedom Party of Austria, not only committed blasphemy against Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny) rather used "child molester" like unbecoming and ill-shaped words for the Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny). Since a UN General Assembly resolution and the Austrian Constitution prohibit insulting Islam, which is an officially recognized religion in Austria, also there exist 57 Islamic countries and an organization like OIC but they all are dead silent.

8 March 2008: Darul Uloom Deoband, the most respected Islamic seminary in India, has taken a landmark stand on punishment for blasphemy in the Indian context. The seminary has issued a fatwa that punishing a slanderer to Prophet Muhammad is not the responsibility of an individual or group, rather it is the responsibility of the government. In Indian context it is the Government of India that can punish the culprits within the framework of the Constitution of India. The fatwa said that punishment to slanderer will be in tune with the law of the land. The fatwa further clarifies that as India is not ruled by Islamic government, the punishment will be meted out according to the law in force here.

It’s amazing that last day newly elected national assembly met, on one hand full confidence on Prime Minister of Pakistan was shown - it’s a sound step - but on the other permission to present resolution of condemnation against Denmark was not given - it is highly regrettable.
...it should be made clear by raising voice of protest against the enemies of Risalat-Ma'ab, Quran and Islam that it is a heinous crime which is unforgivable; it should be strongly demanded from all human rights organizations including UN to award such a punishment to those who committed blasphemy of Prophet, and made anti-Islam film which teaches a lesson to the coming ones.

http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/national/14-Apr-2008/social-activists-at-odds-with-religious-scholars-over-blasphemy
14 April 2008: "Allama Muhammad Abbas Rizvi, a Shia scholar, said that the exact definition of blasphemy varied from sect to sect. He was of the opinion that there was no concept of imprisonment in Islam, adding that a person who was found guilty of blasphemy had become an apostate. He said the least punishment for apostasy was the death sentence.
Rizvi said that the law was applicable to all, including people of other religions, as long as they resided in an Islamic state. Referring to people misusing the law, he said that modern methods of establishing evidence should be used wherever possible.
Similarly, Mufti Sarfaraz Naeemi, a Sunni scholar, said that Section 295-C -- which refers to the use of derogatory remarks in respect of the holy Prophet (PBUH) -- had been inducted into Pakistan's legal system with great effort. He said that the law was in complete accordance with Sharia and anyone convicted of blasphemy against the prophet or holy book of any religion should be awarded the maximum punishment. "We want such laws to exist at the international level so that anyone who commits blasphemy can be given the harshest punishment," he added."

26 June 2008: NOTED Islamic scholars and leaders have strongly criticised Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and PPP government for commuting of death sentence into life imprisonment, calling the act as un-Islamic and aimed at pleasing the West.

In a joint statement issued on Wednesday by noted scholars of all schools of thought, they warned that the actual purpose of the act was to commute death sentence for blasphemers under 295-C PPC which had been a long and pressing demand of the West. These scholars unequivocally stated that any ruler or parliament had no powers to annul the death punishment in respect of crimes stated in the Holy Quran and Sunnah. In case of murder, only the heirs of the victims have the right to pardon, they added.

The statement was issued by president Ittehad Tanzimat Madaris Deenia Maulana Saleemullah Khan, Tanzimul Madaris president Mutfi Muneebur Rehman, Wafaqul Madaris president Qari Hanif Jallundhary, president Wafaqul Madaris Salfia Maulana Naeemur Rehman, Wafaqul Madaris Shai president Maulana Niaz Hussain Naqvi, president Rabitarul Madaris Maulana Abdul Maalik, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad, president Muttahida Ulema Council Maulana Abdur Rauf Malik, Maulana Khurshid Gangohi, Jamia Naeemia principal Dr Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi, Ameer Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Conference Maulana Ilyas Chinnoti, president Ittehadul Ulema Maulana Inayyatulah Gujrati and Asadullah Bhutto.

...
Another resolution condemned a private TV channel named as Quran TV for uttering humiliating remarks against Muhafiz-e-Quran Khalifatul Muslimeen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and demanded from the government to take strict exemplary action against Dr. Israr under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The resolution made it clear that colonial powers were behind those people and organisations who are committing humiliation against Mashaheer and Sha’air Allah, therefore, those who insult the Mashaheer should be dealt with strictly in Pakistan also because as per a saying of the Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, the nations at large are under the obligation to tighten the noose around Rushies inside and outside. The demonstrators also set the British flag on fire and later disperse peacefully chanting slogans.

The fatwa issued by Mufti Mohammed Shoeb Raza Qadri and Mufti Muti-ur-Rehman of the Darul-uloom-Mazhar-e- Islam who stated that the entire Muslim community was hurt by Shahrukh's comments. Mufti Mohammed called Shahrukh a Kafir (non-believer) and said such person should be thrown out of Islam. He also said that in an Islamic state such remarks would have called for a death penalty against the accused. He also added that Shahrukh's marriage with Gauri was nullified and Shahrukh must not be allowed to be buried in any Muslim graveyard. 
Bareilly-based Markazi Darul Ifta which is a authority for issuing fatwas however dismissed the fatwas issued by clerics. They stated that since Shahrukh has issued clarification that he was misrepresented in his alleged statements he should not be held guilty. Shahrukh has made the alleged comments in an interview given to the Time n Style Magazine.

9 Sep 2010: Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani said that U.S. President Barack Obama will be held responsible if the Dove World Outreach Center's planned "Burn A Koran Day" goes ahead.

In a written statement, Golpaygani, who is a marja, or a Shi'ite source of emulation, warned against the consequences of burning the holy book of the Muslims:

I along with 1.5 billion Muslims and true civilized people of the world condemn this spirit of savagery and denounce its great dangers for the humanity and ignition of the fire of great seditions, I warn the Pope and other Christian leaders that if such a gruesome and inhumane incident takes place in the U.S., we will hold the U.S. establishment and President Obama himself responsible and deserving to be put on trial. The pastor should be arrested immediately and his church should be shut down forever.

The cultural deputy of Iran's Armed Forces, Masud Jazayeri, said that the U.S. government is behind the Koran burning, which he called an attempt by the U.S. to cover up its role in the September 2001 terrorist attacks.

Jazayeri said that "undeniable evidence" proves that the September 11 attacks were the work of "U.S. politicians and Zionist elements" and that as time goes by, the role of "U.S. state terrorism" becomes clearer, forcing the U.S. government to try to create marginal issues and distract public opinion to cover up "its crimes."

He said the planned Koran burning is a move in that direction, adding that humiliating Muslims is another goal of the Koran burning.

Iran's state-controlled television suggested that U.S. officials have condemned the planned burning of the Koran "not out of respect for Islam and the holy book of the Muslims but because they want to prevent U.S. soldiers in the region from becoming targets of increased attacks."

And here is the reaction of blogger "Majma Divanegan" (Assembly of the Madmen or Lunatics) who writes that while Tehran seems to be outraged by the plans to burn the Koran, the rights of religious minorities, namely the Baha'is, are being violated in the Islamic Republic on a daily basis:


Every year, every day, every moment, Baha'is in Iran are being harassed. The pressure on the Baha'is goes beyond burning books. No one here is surprised by the burning of the holy books of the Baha'is. Here it is a question of their life and death. The issue is the destruction of their cemeteries -- it has been taking place for the past 30 years without any [justice]. It seems that both in Iran and in the United States, there is only one religion that should not be insulted, its book should not be burned, one should not draw the cartoon of its prophet and one is not even allowed to make a small joke about it otherwise the world will face deadly consequences.

13 Sep 2010: More than a dozen people were killed and scores injured in confrontations in Kashmir today following a report on an Iranian TV channel of the desecration of the Qur'an in New York on the anniversary of 9/11.
.....

Kashmir's separatist movement has been confined to the province's Sunni Muslims. But the Iranian TV report provoked its minority Shia Muslims to also take to the streets with placards bearing photographs of Ayatollah Khomeini.
As violence engulfed the valley, the local government banned the telecast of the Iranian TV channel. Timothy Roemer, the US ambassador, also tried to exert some damage control."

While the Deoband and Barelvi leaders appear to be on the same page when it comes to condemning the slain Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader for terming the blasphemy law as a black law, the Barelvi scholars, who claim to be the ‘true lovers of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)’, have taken a more hardline stance.
....
Allama Abbas Kumaili of the Shia school of thought said the blasphemy law can be misused and there was no doubt about it. “But the way Salmaan Taseer took up the matter was blunt which inflamed the more emotional and ignorant people of our country.”

The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) staged a demonstration outside the Lahore Press Club, led by Pir Ajmal Gilani and others who warned that Pope Benedict had challenged the very pillars of Islam and his outrageous act could endanger the security of Christians living in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. Ajmal Gilani said the Pope had in fact exposed the hands pulling strings of the organised campaign against the blasphemy laws in Pakistan. He said it also explained why the Pope did not utter any single word of condemnation against the organised blasphemy by the European press through the desecration of Holy Quran and sketches of the Prophet (SAW) of Islam. Other leaders, including Pir Atharul Qadri, Raza-e-Mustafa Naqshbandi, Mohammad Ali Naqshbandi, Nawaz Kharal, Mujahid Abdul Rasool, Naeem Arif Noori, Ziaul Mustafa Haqqani, Mukhtar Siddiqi, Khurran Riaz, Mufti Imran Hanfi, Ziaul Haq Naqshbandi, Moeenul Haq Alvi, and Chaudhry Usman said Islam provided the best security and rights to religious minorities, which was evident from the fact that religious liberties and identity of Muslim minorities were brutally suppressed in liberal Europe and the US.

31 Jan 2011: Some 25,000 people turned up for Sunday’s Deobandi-led rally, overshadowing the last rally of the Barelvi-led Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) held in Lahore two weeks ago. The TNR rally was different in many other ways from the TNRM rally. The TNRM protesters and speakers had demanded the end of terrorism in the name of jihad, but the TNR leaders urged the protesters to prepare for jihad. The TNRM protesters also demanded an end to suicide attacks at shrines of Sufi saints; the TNR leaders made no such demand. The TNRM leaders were critical of the Punjab government, especially Law Minister Rana Sanullah; the TNR rally was attended by PML-N MNAs Khawaja Saad Rafiq and Mian Marghoob. The mostly Deobandi protesters demonstrated their anti-Shia sentiment when it was Millat-i-Jafria leader Sajid Naqvi’s turn to make his speech. During the three minutes he spoke, the protesters continuously shouted slogans against him, and threw shoes and sticks in his direction. The stage was too far away for any of the missiles to hit their intended target. Other clerics threatened the media. They said the media must abstain from giving people the chance to speak against the blasphemy laws."

اسلام ٹائمز۔ ممتاز حسین قادری کو سزائے موت دئیے جانے کے خلاف اسلامک سٹوڈنٹس فیڈریشن اور جمعیت علماء پاکستان کے زیراہتمام احتجاجی ریلی کا انعقاد کیـا گیـا۔ جس مـیں کثیر تعداد مـیں جمعیت علماء پاکستان کے کارکنان نے شرکت کی اور فیصلہ صادر کرنے والے جج کے خلاف بھرپور نعرے بازی کی۔ شرکائے ریلی باآواز بلند ©" پرویز کتا ہائے ہائے" اور "عدلیہ کتی ہائے ہائے"کے نعرے لگا رہے تھے۔
ریلی کا آغاز پریس کلب سے کیـا گیـا جو پارلیمنٹ ہاﺅس پہنچ کر اختتام پذیر ہو گی۔ اس موقع پر اسلام ٹائمز سے بات چیت کرتے ہوئے جمعیت علماء پاکستان اسلام آباد کے امـیر محمد ظفر اقبال کا کہنا تھا کہ ممتاز قادری کو سزا موت دئیے جانے کے فیصلے کو ہم مسترد کرتے ہیں اور اس کی بھرپور مذمت کرتے ہیں کیونکہ ملک پاکستان کے اندر قرآن و سنت سپریم لاء ہے اور قرآن و سنت سے متصادم کوئی بھی قانون ہو وہ اس ملک مـیں نہیں چل سکتا۔ پاکستان کا آئین بھی اس بات کی تائید کرتا ہے کہ اس ملک کا سپریم لاء قرآن و سنت ہے۔
انکا کہنا تھا کہ جج نےی پریشر مـیں آ کر اوری لالچ کی وجہ سے اس طرح کا فیصلہ صادر کیـا۔ ہمارا ارباب اختیـار سے مطالبہ ہے کہ اس فیصلے کو کالعدم قرار دے اور قرآن سنت کی روشنی مـیں فیصلہ کیـا جائے، جس کے مطابق گستاخ رسول ص کی سزا قتل ہے اور عاشق رسول ص کو کوئی قید کوئی سزا نہیں ہے۔ اگر وہ توہین رسالت کے مرتکب کو دیکھ کر جذبات سے مغلوب ہو کر گستاخ رسول ص کو قتل کر دے بظاہر تو وہ قانون کو ہاتھ مـیں لے رہا ہے، مگر گستاخ رسول ص کا خون رائیگاں ہے۔ قرآن مـیں گستاخ رسول ص کے خون کو مباح الدم کہا گیـا ہے اسکا بدلہ نہیں لیـا جائے گا، قصاص بھی ادا نہیں کیـا جائے گا۔

Uploaded on Oct 11, 2011: In this lecture Mufak-e-Islam Hazrat Allama Pir Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani explains the difference between acts of extremism and actions in love of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). In doing so the noble Sayyid for the first time establishes with great beauty that the actions of Malik Mumtaz Qadri were not criminal but were justified according to Islamic law.

Hazrat explains the difference between(i) extremism, terrorism, criminality and (ii) love, devotion and sacrifice for the Beloved Prophet.

This is the first time any scholar has established the legal basis on which the court ruling against Mumtaz Qadri is wrong.

جمعیۃ علماء ہند کے صدر مولانا ارشد مدنی نے آج متنازعہ مصنف سلمان رشدی کے ویزا کو منسوخ کرنے کے لئے مرکزی حکومت سے دارالعلوم دیوبند کی اپیل کی حمایت کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ رشدی نے ماضی مـیں مسلمانوں کے جذبات کو ٹھیس پہنچائی ہے ۔

....
مجلس علماء ہند کے صدر مولانا سید علی تقوی نے گستاخ رسول سلمان رشدی کے ہندوستان آنے کی اطلاع پر تشویش کا اظہار کرتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ حکومت ملسمانوں کے جذبات سے کھلواڑ کرنے سے باز رہے۔ اور سلمان رشدی کا ویزا فوراً رد کرے۔ 

مجلس علماء ہند کے جنرل سیکریٹری مولانا کلب جواد نقوی نے کہا ہے کہ ہندوستان مـیں ایک بار پھر سلمان رشدی کو دعوت دی گئی ہے تاکہ وہ مسلمانوں کے جذبات کو مجروح کرے۔ انہوں نے سلمان رشدی کو مسلمانوں کے خلاف جاری صیہونی سازشوں کا ایک حصہ قرار دیـا ہے۔ حکومت ہند کو تنبیہ کرتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ سلمان رشدی کا ویزا فوراً رد کیـا جائے اگر حکومت ایسا نہیں کرتی ہے تو ہم پارلیمنٹ کا گھیراؤ کریں گے اور ملک کے دیگر حصوں مـیں سلمان رشدی کے خلاف ہونے والے احتجاج مـیں شریک ہوکر آواز بلند کرینگے۔ 

مجلس علماء ہند نے کہا کہ گستاخ رسول سلمان رشدی کے خلاف انقلاب اسلامـی ایران کے بانی آیت اللہ خمـینیؒ کا فتویٰ ابھی موجود ہے جس کی روشنی مـیں رشدی ایک ملعون اور قابل نفرت کردار کی حیثیت رکھتا ہے ۔ اگر حکومت ہند کی جانب سے رشدی کا ویزا رد نہیں کیـا جاتا ہے تو دیگر ملی تنظیموں کے ساتھ ساتھ مجلس علماء بھی احتجاج کا راستہ اختیـار کرے گی۔

2012: ANHRI noted that many Kuwaitis are facing trial for blasphemy and, if the law is passed, might executed. One is Mohammed Al-Mulaifi, a Kuwaiti writer, sentenced in April to seven years in jail with hard labor, and a fine of US$18,000 for publishing on Twitter insults against Shi'ism. According to news reports, Al-Mulaifi is guilty of saying that Kuwait "suffers from sectarian struggles and conflicts." Al-Mulaifi also accused Shi'ites in Kuwait of being disloyal to Kuwait but loyal to Iran, based on their religious belief, and slandered the Shi'ite Imam, Al-Mahdi. According to Reuters, the court commented that Al-Mulaifi posted "falsehoods about sectarian divisions in the Gulf Arab country and insulted the Shi'ite faith and its scholars with comments that damaged Kuwait's image."

22 Sep 2012:
Speaking on Sky News, Pakistan's High Commissioner to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hasan said he did not approve of the bounty, but that the minister was "acting out of anger".
He also accused the US of "using al Qaeda" in Syria to help overthrow President Bashar al Assad.
He said: "To denigrate the Prophet is a very hurtful thing ... Osama bin Laden was declared a terrorist to the world, so should this man (the filmmaker) be described as a terrorist to the world because he has inflamed 1.4 billion Muslims?"
He added: "Can't we ask, or anyone in Pakistan, can't they ask al Qaeda or the Taliban - brothers in faith - to help fight this terrorist, when the present American administration is using al Qaeda in Syria to topple Bashar al Assad's government? So why double standards?"
....
In Nigeria, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the second city Kano to protests against the film.
The crowd - which set fire to images of President Obama and stamped on US flags - stretched for several miles through the city centre.
The demonstration was organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a pro-Iranian group that adheres to the Shia branch of Islam.
"We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this blasphemous film," said Muhammed Turi, a protest leader and member of the Islamic Movement which organised a similar rally earlier this week in the northern city of Zaria.

23 Sep 2012: Speaking to Channel 4 News, Pakistani High Commissioner to the UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan attempted to distance the Pakistani government from the outburst.
He said: “The minister’s comment is a consequence of countrywide protests against the blasphemy act.
“The (Pakistan) prime minister does not subscribe to these views.
“You must understand the gravity of the situation.
“Every Muslim country is on fire at the moment. You are catching one phrase of a minister who’s one of the many ministers we have.
“An individual outburst. You’re interpretating it as the expression of a whole government, a whole nation. “
He also rejected claims the minister in question should be sacked: “Why should he be sacked? He didn’t call anyone pleb,” referring to alleged comments made by Tory Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell.
.....
"[Bounty] is an attempt to diffuse the situation... It's a symbolic thing. It's to pacify the people.

The group's “flag cell” is now preparing a major publicity stunt: a US flag 500 metres long and 60 wide, which will be laid out in October in a busy street, for the ultimate Muslim insult of being trodden under foot.
Shigri revels in the plan: “All the cars and pedestrians can defile it as they pass over.”

Oct 14, 2012:  A protest by 10,000 Muslims outside the offices of Google in London today is just the first in an orchestrated attempt to force the company to remove an anti-Islamic film from website YouTube in Britain.
Barricades were erected in front of Google's headquarters and a crowd bearing placards with the words "We love our prophet more than our lives" and "Prophet Muhammad is the founder of freedom of speech" had amassed by lunchtime.
One of the speakers, Sheikh Faiz Al-Aqtab Siddiqui, told The Daily Telegraph: "Terrorism is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well. The makers of this film have terrorised 1.6 billion people.
"Organisations like Google are key players and have to take responsibility for civility. You can't just say it doesn't matter that it's freedom of speech. It's anarchy."
Sheikh Siddiqui, a barrister from Nuneaton, said he wanted to form a coalition with the Church of England, Catholics, Jewish groups, Trade Unions and even Conservatives to encourage their ranks to join his "campaign for civility".
"We want everyone in society to recognise these people are wrecking our fragile global society. We want the Church, the Synod, Jewish groups and establishment figures involved," he said.
As many as 800 imams in mosques across Britain helped to organise today's protest, which lasted four hours and blocked roads almost up to the Queen's doorstep on Buckingham Palace Road.

29 Oct 2012: A belly dancer stirred a wave of anger among Shiites in Egypt as she appeared in an Egyptian movie raving to a song praising Fatima, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad and the wife of Imam Ali, highly venerated in Shiite Islam, who called for banning the movie to screen in theaters. 

Baha Anwar Mohammed, spokesman of Egyptian Shiites, has condemned belly dancer Dina for her performance in the film “Abdo Mouta” to be offensive and highly disrespectful to the People of the House (Ahl al-Bayt), the family of Prophet Muhammad, particularly important to Shia Muslims.

Baha was quoted by Egypt’s al-Sabah newspaper as saying that the country’s Shiites will file a complaint to the general prosecutor against the film demanding to ban it from screening as it insults prominent Islamic figures.

Shiites believe Imam Ali and the rest of Ahl al-Bayt as prophet’s successors. Baha called on Egypt’s Al-Azhar Islamic School and its Grand Mufti to condemn “such abuse” to the prophet’s family.

Dina, the belly dancer, denied her performance in the movie was meant to offend Islamic prominent figures.

Although the song “Virtuous Mother of Hasan and Husain” praises Fatima, the fact that a belly dancer dances to it was seen as highly inappropriate.

The gang of extremists has threatened Taak Books, the publisher, and the booksellers of Kabul as well. According  to this BBC Persian report, It’s difficult to find a copy of the book in the city as the booksellers don’t sell it anymore.
....
The DW-Dari has published a picture of Taqi’s half-burnt book that the unknown Islamists have thrown into his home and a picture of his lovely red Corolla with its windshield smashed and these words painted upon it: “The son of Salman Rushdie. Godless Infidel.”

Ayatollah Sayyed Mohsen Hojjat harshly criticizes the book of an apostate in Afghanistan


 http://www.pen-international.org/newsitems/afganistan-mounting-concern-for-the-safety-of-writers/
PEN International is aware of at least two writers who have been forced to flee Afghanistan since the beginning of the year after receiving death threats. They include prominent Hazara writer Mohammad Jan Taqi Bakhtiari, an award-winning Afghan novelist, who was accused of blasphemy and given a death fatwa in January 2013 by a leading Islamist cleric, Sayyid Mohsen Hujjat, for his latest book Gumnani (Anonymity), published in October 2012. Following the book’s publication, Bakhtiari received numerous death threats through phone calls and text messages. In one incident, unknown people attacked his car on the streets of Kabul and later he found his books burned in front of his house. Bakhtiari went into hiding after receiving death threats, and fled to India on 9 January 2013. His family joined him on 20 February 2013. He has been granted refugee status by the UNHCR and is awaiting resettlement to a safe country. There are continued fears for his safety.

30 April 2013: BIRMINGHAM: Up to 25,000 British Pakistani men, women and children from across the UK gathered in Aston Park here to express their love for Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to call on the British government to introduce legislation that bars Islamophobes from insulting Islam under the garb of the freedom of speech......Hazrat Peer Alauddin Siddiqui, who is a renowned Sufi scholar, told Geo News: “Thousands have come together to show peacefully to the western world that the production and promotion of a recent film insulting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has caused hurt to Muslims all over the world. We are a peaceful community and we will do everything to protect peace and respect for all on equal basis. It’s not fair that some people insult Islam everyday and preach hatred through their actions and words but the lack of legislation encourages such elements. We want to tell our government that we welcome debate and constructive criticism of our religion but insults are unacceptable and inflammatory language is contributing to the rise of extremism amongst youth in western countries where youth mistakenly believe that the West hates Islam and Muslims.”

4 Nov 2013: This past Monday, Alaeddin Zohourian, chairman of the state media supervision council, announced that the Bahar newspaper “has been suspended and its dossier has been referred to the judiciary for an inquest.”
Zohourian said the decision was based on the council’s review of a 23 October article written by religious-nationalist activist Asghar Gharavi, of the Isfahan branch of the Freedom Movement of Iran.
Gharavi’s article, published on the occasion of Eid al-Ghadeer Khumm, the anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad’s naming of Imam Ali as his successor, appeared to question whether the celebrated event actually took place:
"It is not a heavenly prophet’s responsibility to specify a successor to himself, or khalif, [an act] known as “nassab”. As the prophets, and especially the Great Prophet, were sent to free mankind of all its yokes, constraints, ignorance, slavery, and serfdom, such an appointment or selection itself suggests the denial of freedom and a type of serfdom and slavery. It thus invalidates the goal of the appointment of the Prophet of Islam, as expressed in verse 157, al-A’raf [Qur’an sura 7]. On this basis, the Prophet would certainly not undermine the mission for which he was appointed." 
As a political analyst told Tehran Bureau, “This article aims at the very foundation upon which the Shia sect was constructed, the principle of Imam Ali’s succession on al-Ghadeer Khumm to His Highness, Muhammad.”
Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani, who has a substantial following as a marja – source of emulation –joined in the condemnation of the article, asking, “Why should a newspaper permit itself the temerity and audacity to insult and malign sacred religious beliefs, the Ghadeer, the imamat, and the guardianship [of the supreme leader]?”

https://hra-news.org/en/ali-asghar-gharavi-released-bail 
13 Jan 2014: Seyed Ali Asghar Gharavi was released on the bail after nearly two months of being in detention.
According to Green Voice of Freedom, after Bahar newspaper was sentenced for publishing the article of Mr. Gharavi, this scholar and political activist has been released on bail.
Ali Asghar Gharavi, is a member of the Central Committee of the Iran freedom Party and he is the manager of Isfahan branch. He is considered a nationalist religious activist.
Gharavi who has sensorimotor nervous breakdowns disease, herniated disc and prostate pain, has spent nearly 2 months in detention for writing a research paper in the Bahar Journal.
Following the publication of his article entitled “Imam, a political leader or a model of faith?” in the Bahar newspaper, this newspaper was banned and the director manager was detained for several days.

2 Feb 2014: "On March 7, 1989, Britain broke diplomatic relations with Iran over the Rushdie controversy. But after almost a decade, the ties were restored when the then Iranian leader Mohammad Khatami gave a public commitment that his country would "neither support nor hinder assassination attempts on Rushdie." Iranian hardliners, however, still reaffirm the "death sentence." In September 2012, an Iranian religious organization by the name of “15 Khordad Foundation,” increased the bounty on Rushdie's head from 2.1 million euros to 2.5 million. ......
Karachi-based Shiite activist Syed Ali Mujtaba Zaidi told DW it was "necessary to remind (the West) again and again that we will not allow blasphemers to continue with their activities, and will make their lives miserable so that others will not follow them."

http://www.rferl.org/content/khomeini-fatwa-golden-page-praise/25264502.html
14 Feb 2014: Tehran's Friday Prayers leader, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sadighi, has said the fatwa issued by the founder of Iran's Islamic republic against British writer Salman Rushdie is a "golden page" in the life of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Sadighi made the comments on February 14, the 25th anniversary of Khomeini's fatwa ruling that Rushdie's book "The Satanic Verses" was "blasphemous against Islam" and an Iranian religious foundation offered a bounty for the author's assassination.

The Friday Prayers leader of Sabzevar, Ayatollah Gholam Hossein Ebrahimi, also said that the fatwa remains valid. "This man has committed a horrible crime; he is unforgivable," the cleric was quoted as saying by the hard-line Fars news agency.

16 Feb 2014: On February 14, 1989, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called on all Muslims to murder the award-winning author and anyone involved in the publication of his work.
This Friday, senior cleric Ahmad Khatami reminded worshippers at the Tehran Friday prayer that the 'historical fatwa' is 'as fresh as ever'.

18 Feb 2014: The Muslim cleric Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi was angered by the depiction of members of Shia imam's households in "Hussein, Who Said No" (Rouz-e Rastakhiz), a blockbuster about the uprising of Imam Hussein, which premiered at the 32nd Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran last week.
....

In Iran, extremist groups have demonstrated against the film because it shows the faces of the religious figures involved in the historic events of Ashura, which they consider blasphemous.
One hundred protesters gathered in Qom and another 400 in front of the Shokofeh Cinema in Tehran, which led to police involvement.
The film has now been pulled from cinemas, and while the Ministry of Culture says the screening of the film is simply suspended for now, Darvish says his film has been confiscated.
The ministry spokesman has said, however, that the film will be re-screened after a review by members of the clergy.

https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/638277-blasphemy-court-summons-owners-of-over-20-channels
3 June 2014: Muhammad Ilyaz Qadri of village 71 Shumali had filed an application with the additional district and sessions judge against the owners of 20 TV channels, including ARY, Express, Dunya, Samaa TV, Geo News and Dawn News, contending that these channels had been airing religiously controversial programmes for some time. Meanwhile, Geo News also aired a controversial morning show over which it apologised to people, but none of the other channels apologised and brazenly aired vulgar and religiously controversial programmes. 

Qadri contended that the channels, now making a hue and cry over a controversial broadcast in the Geo morning show, had themselves aired similar objectionable programmes. Meanwhile, the Imambargah Dur-e-Abbas administrator has filed an application with the sessions court for registration of cases against five TV channels — ARY, Express, Dunya, Samaa and Ab Tak — contending that Geo TV had apologised over the blasphemous broadcast but these channels neither apologised nor were they proceeded against.

30 May 2014: A British woman has reportedly been sentenced to 20 years in a hellhole Iranian prison for posting comments on Facebook allegedly criticising the country’s leadership.
Roya Nobakht, 47, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was arrested last October when she was visiting the south-western city of Shiraz.
She was accused of gathering crowds, putting national security at risk and insulting Islam after criticising former Iranian supreme leader the Ayatollah Khomeini on the social media site.
She is thought to have described the government as being ‘too Islamic’.

20 June 2014:

Three Sunni men from Iran’s Turkmen minority convicted of charges including ‘insulting the Supreme Leader (Khamenei)’ were detained yesterday to begin serving their 23 month prison sentences.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Nematollah Kami, Danial Babayani and Habibollah Beigzadeh were detained and transferred to Gonbad Prison near Minudasht in northern Iran yesterday.
The three men were each sentenced to 23 months imprisonment by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Gonbade Kavous, Golestan province on 10 December 2013. Their sentences were confirmed by the Court of Appeals in Golestan.
A fourth man, Abdol Nasser Khormali, was ordered to receive lashes and pay a fine.
The four men were arrested in September 2013 by agents from the Ministry of Intelligence in the Golestan province of Iran in relation to their activities on the internet, especially on the Facebook social media website.
They were convicted of ‘insulting the Supreme Leader (Khamenei)’, ‘insulting the Shia Imams’, ‘insulting the leadership’, ‘having a satellite receiver’ and ‘spreading propaganda against the state’.
One of the men’s relatives told the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), “at the time of their arrest, the detainees were subjected to abuse and torture, in order for [intelligence officers] to obtain their Facebook login details.”
“The Hajj pilgrimage CDs and family photo albums that were discovered were recorded in the prisoner’s cases as ‘obscene photos’. Accordingly, the sentences against them were issued,” the source said.
According to the HRANA, officials from the Ministry of Intelligence told the men during their interrogation that if they converted from Sunni Islam to Shi’ism, they would ‘escape a prison sentence’.

Burning of Ahmadis in Gujranwala (July 2014)

27 July 2014: A mob attacked Ahmadis houses in Arafat Colony, Gujranwala. A woman and two girls burnt alive.

Mobsters waving Sunni Tehreek flags

http://www.persecutionofahmadis.org/destruction-of-property-2014/

There is good reason to believe that the shocking riot was pre-planned. Gujranwala-based Deobandi mulla Zahid-ur-Rashidi is one of the top clerics in the policy and planning team of the rabidly anti-Ahmadiyya Khatme Nabuwwat organisation. He runs a madrassah in Gujranwala, and on July 31, 2014 he openly chaired a meeting of approximately 200 mullas (including some Shia ulama) over this issue, where a set of demands was agreed upon for presentation to the police.
The police registered a case under Anti-terrorism clause ATA 11-W and PPC 324, 295-A, a blasphemy clause, against Mr. Aqib Saleem and Mr. Atiq Ahmad, the accused Ahmadi youths, in FIR 553/14 in Police Station Peoples Colony, Gujranwala on July 28, 2014. If declared guilty, they could be imprisoned for 10 years.
This neighborhood has a sizeable presence of the Shia community; they extended little help to Ahmadis in their plight, in fact they supported the gang leaders and the mob action.

http://theislamicmonthly.com/the-attack-and-burning-of-ahmadis-before-eid/
"July 27, 2014: The mob, consisted of both Sunni and Shia Muslims, became deathly angry due to alleged blasphemy committed by an Ahmadi youth on Facebook. While the allegation was meritless, it didn’t stop the mob from continuing their tirade, chanting slogans of Allahu Akbar (God is Great), Ya Ali (O Ali) and death upon Qadianis (derogatory term used for Ahmadi Muslim) while setting 15 homes ablaze."

http://www.tanqeed.org/2015/11/the-mob-wanted-to-lynch-them-voices/
Nov 2015: "Boota tells me that on November 22nd, a congregation at a banquet hall called Bhatti Marriage Hall in Gujranwala sang praises for Mumtaz Qadri, the killer of Punjab governor over a blasphemy allegation, and complimented the men arrested for the murder of his loved ones’; those arrested and charged with murder include Shia and Deobandi men.
I keep getting these messages that if we did not take our case back, our community will be targeted again in a more violent attack."

29 Sep 2014: Mohsen Amir-Aslani was arrested nine years ago for his activities which the authorities deemed were heretical. He was engaged in psychotherapy but also led sessions reading and reciting the Qur’an and providing his own interpretations of the Islamic holy book, his family said.
Amir-Aslani was hanged last week for making “innovations in the religion” and “spreading corruption on earth”, but human rights activists said he was a prisoner of conscience who was put to death because of his religious beliefs. He had interpreted Jonah’s story in the Qur’an as a symbolic tale.

9 Jan 2015:  Imtiaz Ahmed, an imam with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, said it should be against the law to publish cartoons that depict religious figures in a derogatory way.
“Of course we defend freedom of speech, but it has to be balanced. There has to be a limit. There has to be a code of conduct,” Ahmed said.
“We believe that any kind of vulgar expression about any sacred person of any religion does not constitute the freedom of speech in any way at all.”
Ahmed said there should be limits placed on freedom of speech to prevent the publication of offensive material. He says that seems to be the case for events such as the Holocaust. Members of the public denounce those who say the Holocaust never happened.

19 Jan 2015: Hundreds of outraged Iranians marched outside the French Embassy in Tehran on Monday to protest what participants called anti-Islamic caricatures published in the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
Placards hoisted aloft read “Death to France,” and some participants called for the expulsion of the French ambassador. The protest tied up traffic near the embassy in central Tehran. But the event was peaceful and well organized, in contrast to violent protests elsewhere in the Muslim world.
.....
Political hard-liners in Iran appeared to be behind Monday’s protest. Some participants demanded an apology from Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, apparently because he recently passed through Paris.

(Ilyas Qadri quotes "Bahar e Shariat" that saying critical comments about prophet's dress or nails can also make a man apostate and wajibul qatl. And there is no death penalty for the vigilante murderer of a blasphemer.).

15 Jan 2015:
On its front page, Ya Lesarat al-Hossein, the official publication of Iran's Ansar-e Hizbullah plain clothes militia, has congratulated Muslims on the January 7 attack while claiming that that the assassination of staff and police officers on the premises of the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris was the enforcement of the "legitimate punishment" of those who insult Prophet Muhammad.

"Thousands of congratulations to the nation of Muhammad," the hard-line publication wrote on its front page, which features a picture of a bouquet of pink flowers.
The main headline, in red, is a poem that expresses joy over the Paris killings and says that the "enemy that insulted Prophet Muhammad" was sent to the grave.
One of the subheadlines writes that the implementation of the 'blessed' punishment against those insulting the Prophet of Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and the militant group Islamic State.
Another subheadline condemns the "passive reaction" by Iran's President Hassan Rohani regarding the alleged insult against Muhammad and "misleading coverage" by state television....
So far, the joyful and welcoming stance of Ya Lesarat al-Hossein regarding the violence in Paris, which also claimed the lives of five other people besides those who died at Charlie Hebdo's offices, has not been publicly denounced by Iranian officials.
But there's a been string of condemnation and calls for action against Mardom-e Emrouz over its January 13 cover page featuring Clooney, who at the Golden Globe Awards voiced solidarity with the victims of the Paris attacks while wearing a "Je Suis Charlie" badge on his tuxedo.

This week Kayhan criticized the French publication Charlie Hebdo for featuring another cartoon of the Islamic prophet Mohammad. In its January 15 issue, Kayhan wrote, “the cartoonists for the obscene publication Charlie Hebdo…were mahdur al-dam [those whose blood is worthless because they violated Islam],” even though the Iranian paper also sought to dissociate itself from the attackers, whom they similarly described as “a few mahdur al-dam terrorists.”


In a letter to Iran’s Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, eighty Members of Parliament warned against “discriminatory treatment of the media.” They wrote, “Why doesn’t the Press Oversight Committee issue a warning to the newspaper that has promoted the French publication that has insulted the Prophet of Islam?”
Zohreh Tayebzadeh, a Member of Parliament, threatened the Culture Minister on January 15, that “if he does not assertively confront this newspaper, he would be the subject of an impeachment himself.”
The Yalesarat weekly, the ultra conservative publication of Iran’s Ansar-e Hezbollah, implicitly defended the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices, and said “Murder of those who insult the Prophet is a welcome phenomenon in the acts that took place in this story, which must be viewed separately from the perpetrators of the act.”
The Kayhan article also condemned domestic publications and a statement by Iranian journalists that were supportive of the Charlie Hebdo publication, and called them “dependent on European countries and the US.” The article concluded that Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance must seriously crack down on these publications.
Kayhan’s article took direct aim at Mardom-e Emrooz, after the newspaper published an article on Charlie Hebdo on January 13. Referring to the reformist publication as a “serial newspaper,” Kayhan indicated its dismay at the re-emergence in new publications of the editorial staffs of reformist publications that had been repeatedly closed. “Despite clear violation of Paragraph 7, Article 6 of the Press Law, with the Press Oversight Committee’s and the Judiciary’s silence, the serial newspaper supportive of those who insulted the holy realm of the Islam Prophet has not been found deserving of punishment!”
Kayhan alleged that reformist newspapers and media have displayed “anti-Islamic conduct” in the past, and that “unfortunately, except for a change in the name of the serial medium after its closure, they have borne no further costs.”
Kayhan criticized a statement by 185 Iranian journalists condemning the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, and said that it was an inappropriate act that received widespread attention in “hostile media.”

مجلس وحدت مسلمـین کے سربراہ علامہ راجہ ناصر عباس جعفری نے فرانس کے ہفت روزہ چارلی ہیبڈو سمـیت دیگر مغربی ذرائع ابلاغ مـیں توہین رسالت پر مبنی کارٹون کی اشاعت کی شدید مذمت کرتے ہوئے مطالبہ کیـا ہے کہ اس بلاجواز سیکولر لبرل انتہاپسندی اور نفرتیں پھیلانے والی صحافتی جارحیت مـیں ملوث تمام افراد کو اسلامـی قوانین کے مطابق سزا دی جائے۔ انہوں نے مغربی ممالک کے حکمرانوں کی بھی مذمت کی اور ان سے مطالبہ کیـا کہ ایسے سارے ذرائع ابلاغ پر پابندی عائد کردی جائے جنہوں نے یہ خبیث عمل انجام دیـا ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ سیکولر انتہا پسند لبرل دہشت گردوں اور اسلامـی ممالک مـیں دہشت گردی کرنے والے تکفیریوں کا جنرل ہیڈ کوارٹر ایک ہی ہے۔ یہ عالمـی صہیونیت اور سرمایہ دارانہ نظام کے استعماری ایجنڈا کے تحت کیـا جارہا ہے، منافق مغربی حکمران اور ذرائع ابلاغ مـیں ان کے نوکر مغرب مـیں رائے عامہ کو گمراہ کرنے کے لئے ایسا ڈرامہ اسٹیج کرتے ہیں تاکہ ایک تیر سے دوشکار کریں، ایک جانب وہ تکفیریوں کو عالم اسلام مـیں ہیرو بنانا چاہتے ہیں اور ساتھ ہی مغربی رائے عامہ کو یہ تاثر دینا چاہتے ہیں کہ یہ رد عمل تو متشدد انتہا پسند مسلمانوں کا ہے۔

...
 انہوں نے اسلامـی ممالک کے حکمرانوں سے مطالبہ کیـا ہے کہ اقوام متحدہ اور یورپی یونین سمـیت سارے بین الاقوامـی اداروں مـیں اس قابل مذمت فعل کو بند کرانے مـیں اپنا کردار ادا کریں اورمسلم ممالک کے دفاتر خارجہ مـیں فرانس اور دیگر ممالک کے سفیروں کو بلا کر احتجاج کیـا جائے۔ انہوں نے عرب لیگ اور او آئی سی سے مطالبہ کیـا کہ رکن ممالک کو توہین رسالت مـیں ملوث ممالک سے سفارتی روبط منقطع کرنے اور ان کا بائیکاٹ کرنے کے لئے پالیسی وضع کریں۔ انہوں نے عالم اسلام کے جید علمائے کرام اور روشن فکر دانشوروں سے بھی اپیل کی کہ وہ سیکولر لبرل دہشت گردی کرنے والے مغرب اور تکفیری دہشت گردوں کے خلاف بیک وقت اپنی رائے بیـان کریں اور ان کے سوشل بائیکاٹ کی پالیسی وضع کریں۔

اس موقع پر خطاب کرتے ہوئے علامہ صادق رضا تقوی کا کہنا تھا کہ اسلام مخالف قوتیں مغرب مـیں پیـامِ اسلام کے تیزی سے بڑھتے ہوئے اثر و رسوخ کو دیکھ کر خوف زدہ ہے، ایسی قواتیں شام اور عراق مـیں داعش سے گروہ کی پست پناہی بھی کر رہی ہے، ایک جانب تو داعش کی کارروائی کو مغربی مـیڈیـا اسلام سے منسلک کرنے کی کوشش کر رہا ہے تو دوسری جانب رسولِ دو عالم ﷺکی شان مـیں گستاخی کی جا رہی ہے، اسلام کے خلاف کی جانے والی مغربی سازشوں کے خلاف او آئی سی کو اپنا کردار ادا کرنا ہوگا۔

17 Jan 2015:
An Iranian newspaper has been shut down after the country's authorities accused its front page headline of 'supporting' the Charlie Hebdo magazine.
The article's headline quoted Hollywood actor, George Clooney, saying: 'I am Charlie Hebdo.'
But the accompanying article did not actually express support for Clooney's statement, nor for the magazine itself.
The editor of Mardom-e-Emrooz - or Today's People - confirmed his paper was ordered to close for publishing the story.

22 Jan 2015: A group of journalists who tried to hold a rally in support of the Charlie Hebdo victims the day after the attack was swiftly dispersed.

And after Charlie Hebdo published a picture of the Prophet on its cover following the attack, the climate changed markedly.

The Mardom-e Emrouz daily was shut down for printing a picture of George Clooney wearing a "Je Suis Charlie" badge on its front page. The reformist newspaper was criticised by religious hardliners for not including a condemnation of the insulting cartoons.

And several hundred Islamist protesters turned out for a demonstration in front of the French embassy earlier this week chanting "Death to France" and demanding the ejection of the French ambassador.

The mixed messages from Iranian officials and clergy could have diplomatic consequences.

"The Iranian government prevented journalists from marching in solidarity with the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre yet it organised flag-burning protests against the French embassy," Sadjadpour said.

 فرانس مـیں مرسل آعظم (ص) کے گستاخانہ خاکوں کی اشاعت کے خلاف شیعہ علما کونسل لاھور پاکستان نے قائد ملت جعفریہ پاکستان حجت الاسلام و المسلمـین سید ساجد علی نقوی کی ہدایت پر احتجاجی ریلی نکالی ۔
...
مقررین نے ریلی کے شرکا سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا: دہشت گردی جس بھی صورت مـیں ہو قابل مذمت ہے اور فرانسیسی اخبار مـیں گستاخانہ خاکوں کی اشاعت عالمـی دہشت گردی ہے، خاکے بنانےاور شائع کرنے والے سارے دہشت گرد ہیں۔
انہوں نے یہ کہتے ہوئے کہ خاکوں کی اشاعت سے امت مسلمہ کے جذبات مجروح ہوئے ہیں، مسلم حکمرانوں کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ وہ حرمت رسول(ص) کے حوالے سے مشترکہ لائحہ عمل بنائیں اور اقوام متحدہ مـیں انیباء کی حرمت کے حوالے سے قانون پاس کرایـا جائے

...
حجت الاسلام مظہر عباس علوی نے اپنے خطاب مـیں کہا: توہین آمـیز خاکوں کی اشاعت دنیـا مـیں دہشت گردی کی ناپاک سازش ہے، خاکے شائع کر کے یہودی استعمار نے مسلمانوں کی غیرت کو للکارا ہے ۔

30 January 2015: "In Iran, the hard-line Ansar Hezbollah group gave its blessing to the killing of Charlie Hebdo's staff and deemed the attack a victory for the prophet of Islam. In an article published in its newspaper, Yalasarat, the group pointed out that earlier operations against Rushdie carried out by members loyal to Iran were similar to the Charlie Hebdo murders. The most prominent of these was the young Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese Mustafa Mazeh, who attempted to kill Rushdie in August 1989. The operation failed and led to the death of the young man himself. It is worth mentioning that some hard-line Iranian institutions still commemorate Mazeh's attempt on their official websites."

11 Feb 2015: Tokyo-based publisher Daisan Shokan released a book on Tuesday containing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad previously published in the French satirical weekly paper Charlie Hebdo.
...
But a Muslim organization has maintained that printing the cartoons themselves is an affront to Islam.

A Pakistani Muslim living in Aichi Prefecture expressed regret over the publication at a press conference in Nagoya. "We cannot forgive any insult to the religion," said 36-year-old Anees Ahmad Nadeem, leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's Japan unit and operator of an Islamic mosque in Tsushima in the central Japanese prefecture.

19 March 2015: On her way home, Farkhunda stopped by the Shah-e Du Shamshira shrine, in the centre of Kabul. She said her prayers and then got into an argument about the selling of charms - little scraps of paper bearing Koranic verses.
Farkhunda regarded these as superstitious and un-Islamic. She was trying to make this point to the caretaker at the shrine, Zain-ul-Din, when he began shouting: "This woman is an American and she has burned the Koran!"

They included a female deputy culture minister [Hazara], who said, in reference to the murder, that nothing can stand in the way of the pure faith of the people. Rahel Musavi, a presenter on Tamadon TV, provided another public message of support saying, “She deserved to burn in the fire of the people’s anger.” And then there was the sermon of the imam, Ayaz Niazi, whose message can be summed up as follows: The people who killed Farkhunda were correct and the police have no right to arrest them. If they do, the people have the right to stage an uprising. This imam has a doctorate in Islamic law from the most respected institution in the Muslim world: the Al-Azhar University in Egypt and he teaches at Kabul University in addition to being an imam at a mosque in an affluent area of Kabul.

22 March 2015: Government officials including deputy information and culture minister Simin Ghazal Hassanzada [a Hazara female] and Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai were also harshly criticized for their remarks supporting the brutal murder of Farkhunda.

https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/the-killing-of-farkhunda-2-mullahs-feminists-and-a-gap-in-the-debate/
The most conspicuous act was a thousand-plus-strong gathering of mullahs on 26 March 2015 in the same place where Farkhunda was killed, in front of the Shah-e Du Shamshira shrine. The participants included Niazi as well as many other notable imams from Kabul and the provinces, both Sunni and Shia [Ayatollah Sayed Mohsen Hojjat]. The gathering was reported by some media as pro-Farkhunda, but watching the full hour and a half video, there were few expressions of regret for her killing or remorse for earlier statements or calls for justice for the victim. By this stage, it was clear Farkhunda had been innocent of the charges against her and, indeed, was also not the sort of women’s rights activist seen by ulama in the gathering as ‘the enemy.’ Indeed, she could be considered one of their own – educated, orthodox and pious – albeit female. Even so, the statement of the gathering dedicated only one and a half lines out of three full A-4 pages to a condemnation of the killing. Even then, it was not of her murder per se, but of the type of killing, one that involved torment, burning by fire and a desecration of the human body. In reality, the gathering was not really about Farkhunda at all, but, almost exclusively, a counterpunch at the mullah’s critics.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/09/world/asia/afghanistan-farkhunda.html
8 March 2016: One defendant was the custodian of a holy shrine who trafficked in Viagra, condoms and pagan amulets, and who, when exposed, falsely accused a young woman named Farkhunda of burning a Quran. Another was an employee from an optician’s shop who joined agrowing mob at the shrine and pummeled Farkhunda with a rock the size of a watermelon.
Another was an Afghan intelligence agent who bragged on Facebook that he had the honor of striking the fatal blow against her. Another man drove his car over her, twice.
....Of 49 men originally arrested in Farkhunda’s killing, only 13 have so far been given serious penalties — nearly all of them greatly reduced on appeal. All the death sentences were vacated.
In addition, many activists claim that some of those most responsible — and identified in cellphone video of the killing — have still not been arrested.

5 May 2015:  PESHAWAR, Pakistan — At least 150 people gathered here Tuesday and offered prayers for two men identified as the attackers who opened fire at a Texas event featuring caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. A local cleric, Pir Mohammad Chishti, head ‎of a madrassa in Peshawar, organized the funeral in absentia. He and other men, through loudspeakers installed on vehicles, called for people to come out of their homes and pay respects to the men, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, whom he called "martyrs of Islam."
"Come forward and prove your love and loyalty with Islam and our beloved Prophet Mohammad," the cleric told people. By noon, ‎150 to 200 people had gathered.
Chishti said he was proud of the bravery of the two‎ men. "The two martyrs proved their love and loyalty with Islam. They are the real heroes of Islam, and we must be proud on their courage," the cleric told attendees. After the funeral, he led a walk and chanted slogans against the U.S. and other Western countries for what he said was "desecrating Islam and Islamic heroes."
The cleric said that the United States and other countries "provoke the Muslims on violence" by organizing events where Islam is made fun of. The same cleric held a similar funeral in absentia in January for the brothers who gunned down 12 people at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.The cleric also called those brothers "heroes of Islam."

6 June 2015: According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), branch number 3 of the revolutionary court of Tabriz, has sentenced Hossain Ali Mohammadi and Taha Kermani to ten years in prison on charges of blasphemy and setting fire on public properties with the intention of opposing Islamic regime, on May 12.
In the issued verdict by court, the reason for blasphemy charge is the holly word of Allah, on the flag that had been allegedly burned by these civil rights activists, the allegation that have been denied by both.
 

http://www.iranhrdc.org/english/news/inside-iran/1000000588-iranian-writer-sentenced-to-death-for-apostasy.html 
20 June 2015: 
The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC) has learned that Hesameddin Farzizadeh, a 23-year-old former nuclear physics student, has been sentenced to death for apostasy by the Criminal Court of Meshkinshahr in Ardabil province. A source with knowledge of the case indicates that Farzizadeh was arrested in a raid on his house in November 2014 by plainclothes Ministry of Intelligence (MOI) agents and held incommunicado at the MOI facility in the town for several days before being transferred to Meshkinshahr Prison, where he has been held since. The charge of apostasy stems from a book written by Farzizadeh, entitled “From Islam to Islam”, in which Farzizadeh examines the history of Shi’a Islam and raises questions about certain facets of Shi’a ideology. For instance, in his book Farzizadeh reportedly questions the existence of the Twelfth Imam, who, according to Shi’a theology, is a messianic figure who is to eventually reappear as a latter-day savior of humanity.
Although Iran’s criminal code, known as the Islamic Penal Code, does not define the crime of apostasy, Article 167 of the Iranian Constitution states that when the law is silent on a topic, a judge is to refer to Islamic jurisprudence and make a ruling accordingly. Relying on this constitutional provision, the Criminal Court of Meshkinshahr has found that Farzizadeh’s beliefs, as expressed in his writings, constitute apostasy. Under Islamic law, denying the fundamentals of Islam may be the basis for the finding that an individual has left the faith and therefore become an apostate. The Quran does not prescribe a punishment for apostasy, but in such cases Islamic jurists rely on other authoritative sources, such as the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad, known as the hadith, to argue that apostasy is punishable by death.
In addition to his death sentence, Farzizadeh has also been sentenced to seven years of imprisonment and 74 lashes. These sentences rise from charges of insulting the Prophet Mohammad, the Shi’a Imams, and Ayatollah Khomeini. According to IHRDC’s source, local MOI officials also reportedly threatened Farzizadeh’s family that his death sentence would be carried out if news of the case were to go public. The source also alleges that Farzizadeh has been threatened and assaulted in prison in recent weeks.

30 Sep 2015: Soheil Arabi, 31, was arrested by members of the Iranian revolutionary guards in November 2013 in connection with Facebook postings which the Iranian judiciary deemed insulting to the founder of Islam. He was convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death.
A higher court annulled his death penalty, and his new sentence, which includes a 90-day jail term, emerged this week. Arabi will not be coming out of prison time any time soon, as he is also serving a separate seven-and-a-half-year sentence for allegedly insulting the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, alongside similar charges.

12 Dec 2015: Leading a protest against alleged derogatory remarks by self-proclaimed Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari against Prophet Muhammad, Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawwad demanded capital punishment for state minority welfare minister Azam Khan alleging him for giving inflammatory statements.
“Kamlesh Tiwari should be hanged for his statement but same punishment should also be given to a Muslim minister (Azam) whose statement triggered Tiwari’s statement,” Jawwad said while addressing protesters outside Asafi Mosque in Lucknow after Friday prayers. ...
“The punishment for this act in Islamic Shariah is death. Nothing will happen by imposing NSA and he should be hanged. If state government fails to do this, it will be considered that it is also hand in glove in this act,” Jawwad said.

23 Feb 2016: "Iranian state-run media outlets have added $600,000 to a bounty for the killing of British author Salman Rushdie ... Iranian hardliners say Khomeini's decree is irrevocable and eternal after his death. A wealthy Iranian religious organization offered $2.7 million reward to anyone carrying out the fatwa and in 2012 it increased the amount to $3.3 million.
The semi-official Fars news agency published a list of 40 news outlets adding to the pot. Fars itself earmarked $30,000."

23 Feb 2016:
Two of the band Confess, Nikan Siyanor Khosravi, 23, and Khosravi Arash Ilkhani, 21, are believed to have been arrested on November 10, before being held in Iran's notorious Evin prison by the Revolutionary Guards.
...
The pair run their own record label and their latest album, released in October, included tracks named 'Teh-Hell-Ran' and 'I'm Your God Now', both of which would likely rankle with the state's hardline Islamic leadership.
Tara Sepehri Far, a researcher for Human Rights Watch, said the pair likely faced up to five years in prison for "insulting sacred beliefs".
She said: "Iranian musicians, especially the ones who play non-classical western music, are navigating a minefield.

http://www.dawn.com/news/1242795/punjab-governors-killer-executed
1 March 2016: "Sarwat Ejaz Qadri of the Sunni Tehreek said this act of the government was tantamount to “the murder of justice in the country”.  The Majlis-i-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) termed the execution “hurried”, saying that this had plunged the whole country in uncertainty. “If Raymond Davis could be pardoned, the same law should have been applied to Mumtaz Qadri too,” an MWM statement said. The Wafaqul Madaris al-Arabia — the Deobandi seminary board — said in a statement that Qadri’s execution would have serious consequences, adding that not a single person accused of blasphemy had been hanged in the country. The Shuhada Foundation of the Lal Masjid, which is traditionally opposed to the Barelvi sect that Qadri hailed from, has said the execution was “contrary to Sharia principles”."

2 March 2016: "“During the current situation of country, the government has distressed masses by showing hastiness with regard to Mumtaz Qadri’s punishment and has committed a great mistake by not giving a thought to religious parties’ recommendations. Not fulfilling legal importunities is the incompetency of rulers, Namoos e Risalat is part of every Muslim’s faith. Why rulers are not taking any action against killers of thousands of Pakistanis and their facilitators, including those involved in incidents of Model Town, Data Darbar and the one that took place at Abdullah Shah Ghazi’s mausoleum”. These thoughts were expressed by head of MWM Pakistan Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafri while talking to the chairman of Sunni Ittehad Council Sahibzada Hamid Raza, over the phone.

He further said “pick and choose process in war against terror is part of foreign agenda and we are with our Barelvi brothers in this sad hour. Extremist elements are free all over the country, including Punjab. We condemn this process of balance policy”.
He said that “ulema and politicians should have played their role for mediating between both the parties in such a sensitive matter. If Raymond Davis could be excused then why rulers neglected such a sensitive issue.

شیعہ علماء کونسل صوبہ سندھ کے صدر علامہ سید ناظر عباس تقوی کا کہنا ہے کہ ممتاز قادری کو سزائے موت دینا حکومت کا انتہائی افسوناک عمل تھا، پاکستان ایک اسلامـی ملک ہے اور اس مـیں بسنے والے مسلمان پیغمبر اکرم محمد مصطفیٰ (ص) کو اپنا آخری نبی مانتے ہیں اور اگر کوئی پیغمبر اکرم (ص) کی توہین کرتا ہے تو تمام مکاتب فکرِ کے مسلیمات مـیں ہیں کہ پیغمبر اکرم (ص) کی توہین کرنے والا واجب القتل ہے لیکن بدقسمتی اس ملک کی یہ ہے کہ پاکستان کے آئین مـیں توہین رسالت کے مرتکب ہونے والوں کے لیے قانون موجود ہے مگر اس قانون پر عمل درآمد نہیں ہوتا، اگر اس ملک مـیں پیغمبر اکرم (ص) کی توہین کرنے والے پر مقدمات قائم کرکے اُسے انصاف کے کٹہرے مـیں سزا دی جاتی تو لوگ قانون کو ہاتھ مـیں نہ لیتے، یہ آئین اور قانون پر عمل درآمد نہ کرانے کا نتیجہ ہے کہ پیغمبر اکرم (ص) سے عقیدت اور محبت رکھنے والا اپنے پیغمبر (ص) کی توہین کرنے والے سے بدلہ لے، ہم حکومت سے مطالبہ کرتے ہیں توہین رسالت کے قانون کو فعال بنایـا جائے اور توہین رسالت کرنے والے لوگوں کو سزا دے کر قانون کی بالا دستی کو یقینی بنایـا جائے، اگر قانون پیغمبر اکرم (ص) کی توہین پر خاموش رہا تو پھر ہر گھر سے عاشق پیغمبر اکرم (ص) گستاخ رسول کو جہنم واصل کرے گا جس سے ملک کی صورتحال بہتر نہ رہے گی، ہم ممتاز قادری کو سزائے موت دینے پر شدید الفاظ مـیں مذمت کرتے ہیں۔

5 March 2016:

معروف دیوبندی عالم اور وفاقی شرعی عدالت کے سابق جج مفتی تقی عثمانی نے کہا کہ سلمان تاثیر کا قتل درست اقدام نہیں تھا۔
مفتی تقی عثمانی پاکستان مـیں دیوبندی مکتب فکرکے جید عالم تصور کئے جاتے ہیں اور انکی رائے کو مکتب مـیں بڑی اہمـیت حاصل ہے، لہذا سلمان تاثر کے قتل سے متعلق انکے فتویٰ نے ممتازقادری کی حمایت نکلے والے مولویوں کے لئے پریشانی کھڑی کردی ہے۔
دارلعلوم کراچی مـیں درس حدیث کے دوران ایک طالب علم کی جانب سے پوچھے گئے سوال کے جواب مـیں انہوں کہا توہین رسالت کی سزا موت نہیں ہے، ان سے سوال پوچھا گیـا تھا کہ کیـا حنفی مکتب مـیں توہین رسالت کی سزا موت ہے اور سلمان تاثیر کے قتل کے بارے مـیں انکی کیـا رائے ہے؟
اس سوال کے جواب مـیں انہوں نے کہ حنفی مسلک مـیں گستاخی کی سزا قتل نہیں ہے بلکہ کوئی بھی حاکم اپنی مرضی کے مطابق فیصلہ کرسکتا ہے۔
تقی عثمانی نے کہا کہ وہ ممتاز قادری کے عمل کو درست نہیں سمھجتے ، سلمان تاثیر کا قتل درست نہیں تھا

http://ilhaad.com/2016/03/mufti-taqi-usmani/
مفتی تقی عثمانی مدظلہ نے فرمایـا:
۱۔ حنفیہ کے نزدیک غیر مسلم کی شان رسالت مـیں گستاخی کرنے کی سزاقتل نہیں ہے، جب کہ اگر گستاخی کرنے والا بدبخت مسلمان ہے تو پھر اس کی سزا مرتد ہونے کی وجہ سے قتل ہے، کیوں کہ گستاخی کر کے وہ مرتد ہو گیـا اور مرتد کی سزا قتل ہے۔جب کہ حنفی مسلک کے علاوہ باقی مسالک مـیں بہرحال گستاخ کی سزا قتل ہے۔
.....
فقہائے احناف کا موقف یہ ہے کہ ملزم کے مسلمان یـا غیر مسلم ہونے سے اس جرم کی نوعیت پر فرق پڑتا ہے۔ اگری مسلمان نے اس جرم کا ارتکاب کیـا تو وہ مرتد ہوجاتا ہے اور اس فعل پر ان تمام احکام کا اطلاق ہوگا جو ارتداد کی صورت مـیں لاگو ہوتے ہیں ، جبکہ غیر مسلم چونکہ مرتد نہیں ہوسکتا اس لیے اگر غیر مسلم اس فعل کا ارتکاب کرے تو اسکے اثرات بھی مختلف ہونگے۔( مجموعہ رسائل ابن عابدین صفحہ 313 جلد 1)
جب مسلمان گستاخی کرئے تو وہ مرتد ھوجائے گا اسے توبہ کی تلقین کی جائےاور سوچ بچار کے لیے تین کی مہلت دی جائےاگر وہ اسکے بعد بھی اپنے قول و فعل سے رجوع کرکے اس سے مکمل براء ت کا اظہار نہ کرے تو اس کے لیے سزائے موت ہے۔
شاتم رسول اگر غیر مسلم ہو تو ظاہر ہے اسکے اس فعل کو ارتداد نہیں کہا جائے گا چنانچہ فقہاء اسے نقض عہد یـا ذمہ کے عنوان کے تحت ذکرتے ہیں اور یہ متعین کرنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں کہ ذمـی کے اس فعل سے اسکا عقد ذمہ ٹوٹ جاتا ہے یـا نہیں ۔ فقہائے احناف کا مسلک یہ ہے کہ اس فعل سے اسکا ذمہ یعنی دارالسلام مـیں سکا حق ختم نہیں ہوجاتا لیکن چونکہ یہ فعل دارالسلام کے ملکی قانون کے تحت جرم ہے اس لیے اسے سزا دی جائے۔ اس قسم کی سزا کو فقہائے احناف سیـاسۃ کہتے ہیں ۔ سیـاسۃ کی سزا کو اسلامـی قانون کی اصطلاح مـیں حق الامام کہتے ہیں اس سزا کی کوئی کم یـا ذیـادہ حد شریعت نے مقرر نہیں کی بلکہ اسکی حد مقرر کرنے کا اختیـار حکومت کو دیـا ہے اور حکومت بعض شنیع صورتوں مـیں سزائے موت بھی دے سکتی ہے۔
اس باب مـیں ان کا اصول یہ ہے کہ وہ جرائم ، جن مـیں حد یـا قصاص کے طور پر قتل نہیں کیـا جاسکتا، اگر مجرم اس جرم کا باربار ارتکاب کرتا ہے تو امام اسے قتل کی سزا دے سکتا ہے۔ اسی طرح اگری راجح مصلحت کا تقاضا ہو تو امام مقررہ حد مـیں اضافہ بھی کرسکتا ہے۔ اسی لیے اکثر فقہائے حنفیہ نے یہ فتویٰ دیـا ہے کہ اگر اہل ذمہ مـیں سے کوئی شخص بہت کثر ت سے رسول اللہ ﷺ کے بارے مـیں بدزبانی کرتا ہے، خواہ وہ گرفتار ہونے کے بعد مسلمان ہی کیوں نہ ہوجائے، اسے قتل کردیـا جائے گا۔ یہ قتل مصلحت اور سیـاست پر مبنی ہوگا۔ یہ ان کے اصولوں کے عین مطابق ہے۔( الصارم المسلول ، صفحہ 10، حاشیہ ابن عابدین، صفحہ3؍279)
اس طرح حنفی عالم امام النسفی (المتوفی ٧١٠ ھجری) اپنی تفسیر مدارک التنزیل مـیں لکھتے ہیں؛
“جب ذمـی کھل کر اسلام کے خلاف طعن و تشنیع کرے تو اسکا قتل جائز ہو جائے گا کیونکہ اس سے عہد اس بات پر تھا کہ وہ زبان درازی نہیں کریگا۔ بعد جب اس نے طعن و تشنیع کی تو عہد ٹوٹ جائے گا اور وہ ذمہ سے نکل جائیگا۔” (تفسیر مدارک التنزیل، ج١ ص ٦٦٧ تحت سورہ توبہ آیت ١٢)
علامہ شامـی لکھتے ہیں جب ایسا فعل تکرار سے ہوں تو حاکم اس کے فاعل کو قتل کرنے کا حکم بھی دے سکتا ہے او رحاکم کو یہ صلاحیت بھی حاصل ہے کہ مصلحت ِعامہ کا لحاظ کرتے ہوئے متعین حد پر سزا کا اضافہ بھی کرسکتا ہے۔اس کی دلیل نبی کریمﷺ او رآپ کے صحابہ کرام کا اس جیسے جرائم مـیں عوامـی مصلحت کو ملحوظ رکھتے ہوئے قتل کی سزا کا فیصلہ کرنا ہے۔ احناف مـیں ایسی سزائے قتل کو سیـاستاً سے تعبیر کیـا جاتا ہے۔ (یعنی ایک تو وہ سزاے قتل جو شرعاً مقرر ہے او ردوسری جو شرعی مصلحت کی بنا پر دی جائے ،وہ ‘سزاے قتل سیـاستاً ‘کہلائے گی) ( ردّ المحتار على الدر المختار: 4 /233)

 http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/9106.htm 

There is a broad ideological movement in Islam for the support of blasphemy laws, which require Muslims to take the law into their own hands to kill a person who is accused of blaspheming the Prophet Muhammad. After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, leading Urdu-language Pakistani daily Roznama Ummat published a 43-part series titled "Martyrs of the Prophet's Honor." A review of the series I had conducted revealed that the streets of Lahore in the 1920s and 1930s look liked the streets of Paris today – for similar reasons. The review revealed that those who avenged blasphemy included lone wolves such as Qazi Abdur Rasheed in December 1926 and Ghazi Ilmuddin in April 1929; Ghazi Murid Hussain, a lone wolf jihadi from the Sufi school of Islam; Ghazi Miyan Muhammad, a soldier who killed his soldier-colleague long before Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan did the same; and Babu Merajuddin, a soldier who stabbed a Sikh officer, among others.[15]

Why Tanveer Qadri killed Asad Shah?

https://www.rabwah.net/khatm-e-nabuwat-dawat-e-islami-linked-to-murder-of-ahmadiyya-muslim-asad-shah/
"On Tuesday March 29th, Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with the murder of Asad Shah. Police did not reveal much details about the killer but extremists were quick to own the killer as someone who had ‘sent a an apostate to hell‘. Social media posts mostly from Pakistan flooded Facebook and Twitter calling him #GhaziTanveer (Warrior Tanveer).
......
Dawat-e-Islami extremists also shared Tanveer’s Facebook profile which uses the name ‘Tanveer Attari Qadri al Husaini‘ in Urdu and is filled with facebook posts praising killer Mumtaz Qadri and Dawat-e-Islami. The practice of adding Attari and Qadri to one’s name is common among Dawat-e-Islami members. Taveer’s Facebook posts from March 24th, the day of the killing are all in praise of different individuals who killed blasphemers. His last post is in praise of Mumtaz Qadri.  The only TV channel he has liked on his Facebook profile is Madani Channel, which is run by Dawat-e-Islami from the town of Rochdale, UK. The same town made headlines in 2012 after child grooming activities of a Pakistani gang came to light.
Dawat-e-Islami’s website describes Ahmadis as Kafir (Infidel) and Murtad (Apostates) and even goes to say that those who disagree are also Kafir (Infidels). The website further says:

Anyone who believes in a Prophet after Muhammad, It doesn’t matter if they are  Ahmadi or not are Murtad (Apostates) and they will be subject to the conditions of Murtads (Apostates). Source
As to the what conditions the Apostates are subject to, Dawat-e-Islami website has a whole section in Urdu language explaining why the punishment for Apostasy is Death, the website further explains a Blasphemer is also an Apostate and hence WajibulQatal (worthy of death). In addition the website states that it is allowed to use force to prevent a person from leaving Islam.

https://www.facebook.com/umaralqadri/posts/805840299548975:0
Tanveer Ahmad said that he received Faiz (sic) from Mumtaz Qadri in his dream and then knew he had to kill Asad Shah. He also contacted Malik Dilpazeer, brother of Mumtaz, prior to killing seeking his blessings.

There are reports that Sunni Tehreek, which has in recent years gained a reputation for taking a hardliner stance on the issue of blasphemy, was actively involved in highlighting this case.

3 June 2016: A prominent Iranian human rights lawyer and women's rights activist has created a controversy by posting a picture on social media that shows her sitting on a chair with Islamic motifs while holding a glass of wine.

...Fars called Sadr's picture "an excuse to insult religious sanctity," while accusing her of questioning Islamic principles for years.
The news agency posted a statement by "a group of professors and law experts" calling for Sadr's extradition, trial, and punishment over what it said was her "antireligious" move.
The statement said that according to Islamic penal law, those convicted of insulting sanctity and holy figures can be either sentenced to death or to one to five years in prison.
...Sadr's picture on Instagram generated over 34,000 comments, including many threats and warnings.
"You insulted the beliefs of a large number of people. It is really deplorable," read a comment posted under Sadr's post.
Another said that he hoped Sadr's would be "punished" soon.
"You keep talking about human rights and the need other people's beliefs. How come you disrespect other people's beliefs while making such claims," another user commented.
Some praised Sadr for the post.
"What a wonderful picture, full of positive energy," one woman wrote, adding that those who were angered by it should learn "to relax."
Sadr said she'd been threatened with death and rape over her picture. "Most of the threats I received [over the post] were threats of rape, [many] left obscene comments while defending holy figures," she said.
Some described in detail how they would rape Sadr if they would lay their hands on her.

16 June 2016: Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad has been condemned by conservative media in Tehran as an apostate and heretic — a verdict that carries a death sentence — for testing the limits of free speech in New York, her adopted home-in-exile.
The celebrated social movement leader, famous for her online My Stealthy Freedom campaign, that shows women in Iran illegally photographing themselves without the mandated headscarf, undertook a bold social experiment in New York City to see how far she could go with criticizing other people’s religion, beliefs and even with historical facts.

https://www.clarionproject.org/news/iran-twelve-and-half-years-prison-joke-facebook 
11 July 2016:

Soheil Babadi, 39, was arrested on May 22, 2012, placed in solitary confinement and tortured, according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. Babadi had posted 10 jokes on the Facebook page the "Campaign to Remind Shiites About Imam Naghi" in 2011. The page posts satire on political and religious issues focused around the figure of Imam Naghi, the tenth imam or religious leader in Shiite thought.  
Babdi says the post did not use any insulting words,” Babadi said in a letter written from prison. “A year later I was arrested by the IRGC’s [Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps] Intelligence Organization without a warrant and held in Ward 2-A, the IRGC’s exclusive detention center, and beaten and interrogated for 24 hours."
Babadi says the charges against him are as follows:
  • insulting the Prophet Mohammad
  • insulting the sacred
  • assembly and collusion
  • insulting the supreme leader
  • propaganda against the state
  • membership in a group planning to overthrow the state
  • acting against national security
“I was interrogated while blindfolded in the corner of a room,” he said in the letter. “The agent wanted me to confess to the charges against me, and when I refused he severely beat me. I was constantly under psychological pressure as the agents probed into my personal life and tried to accuse me of ual relations with friends and relatives, even with my sister-in-law, and even of homoual relations with one of my friends, Mostafa. But they didn’t succeed and kept me in solitary confinement for 225 days.”
Initially he was sentenced to five and a half years in prison, 74 lashes and two years in exile for "insulting the sacred" and "insulting President Ahmedinejad."
He was later sentenced to an additional seven years imprisonment for "assembly and collusion against national security” and “insulting the supreme leader." He filed an appeal a year ago, but the appeals court has not yet acted on it.

25 August 2016: The tensions now forcing Mr Kumar to leave his country were sparked several weeks ago, in the small village of Mehrab Samejo.
There, in late July, when Muslim worshippers arrived at the mosque for morning prayers, they were horrified to find copies of the Koran burned to ashes.
A culprit was quickly identified: a man known as Ubedullah, a Hindu who'd converted to Islam some months ago. He is reportedly a drug addict with a psychotic mental condition.
They believe much of the tension stems from agitation at the Bharchundi shrine, a significant Islamic centre in Reharki. Shrine leaders exert a powerful influence in the district, and had seized the burned Korans and buried them in the shrine grounds.
The shrine has previously been mired in controversy after allegations it was responsible for kidnapping Hindu girls and forcing them to convert to Islam. It's a claim shrine leaders have denied saying the girls were willing converts.
Now the shrine is being blamed for inflaming tensions, and forcing Hindus to flee. However, leaders of the shrine reject these allegations.

Death Sentence for Posting “Anti-Islamic” Content on Social Media
Sina Dehghan was just 19-years-old when the Revolutionary Guards told him, while they were interrogating him, that if he confessed to the charge of “insulting” the Prophet Mohammad and signed a letter of repentance, he would be set free. Now he’s on death row while being represented by an appointed public defender and his only hope is an acquittal by Iran’s highest court.

One worshipper who was given the booklet told the Standard: “The event was a few months ago. I took one, but other people took them as well. 
“I think more than 100 people were at this event. It was at Giyarween Shareef [a holy gathering]. ..
The Standard has learned that the leaflet carries the name of preacher Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani on its front cover. It came to light after it was allegedly handed to some worshippers at the Dar-ul-Uloom Qadria Jilania mosque in Walthamstow, where Mr Jilani is an imam.

13 Oct 2016:  KASUR: Kot Radha Kishan police on Thursday arrested a prayer leader and his student on blasphemy charges.
According to FIR, the complainant, Muhammad Imtiaz, of Marali Ottar village, Kot Radha Kishan, alleged he saw a local youth (17) burning some torn pages of the Holy Quran in a street.
It said that on being admonished by the complainant for his act, the youth insisted that the appropriate way to dispose of damaged pages of the Holy Quran was to burn and then bury these. To decide the matter, the FIR said, the youth called prayer leader of a local mosque, also his teacher, who too backed his student’s stance and allegedly cited a Hadith to support his claim.
When the complainant brought the matter to the knowledge of a so-called faith-healer (peer), he advised him to report it to police.
On receiving the information, the police arrived at the spot and arrested the youth and the prayer leader.

15 Oct 2016:  A teacher and a Sufi preacher have been arrested on blasphemy charges in two separate incidents, police said Saturday.
The preacher was arrested in the village of Changa in Daska district for preaching things "contrary to Islam", local police station chief Javed Hussain told AFP.
"Saeen Aslam was arrested on Friday over blasphemy charges on the complaints of locals that he had been asking the villagers to stop offering prayers and just bow before him," Hussain said.
Hussain said Aslam had started preaching at a local shrine of Sufi saint Panj Shaheed some three months ago and had been acting strangely.
In a second incident in the Punjab town of Kamalia a college teacher was arrested on Friday for beating up a student from the minority Shiite sect who absented himself to attend the annual Ashura procession last week.
"Police have arrested a teacher Faraz Ahmed for thrashing his Shiite student Zainul Abideen because he missed his class to attend his religious rites," local police official Mohammad Farooq told AFP.
Ahmed has been charged under the blasphemy law for assaulting the student because of his faith and detained, he added.
Both Ahmed and Aslam face up to 10 years jail time if convicted, police officials said.
