    Yes. @LaloDagach just made this point. Not political activism but the worst manifestation of religious fervour. It poisons our humanity.https://twitter.com/tjaffry/status/852889828513468416 …

    The students who brutally murdered Mashal Khan weren't even Islamists per se. Just an allegation of blasphemy caused this. Terrifying.

        Blasphemy allegations are used as a weapon against undiserables. This very much seems to be the case here.

        It's so bad that in this case apparently the accusers & atleast some of the mob are members of a self proclaimed secular political party.

        Are they?! But not a secular political party that is tolerant of Ahmadis?

        It's being claimed that members of PSF the student wing of ANP were involved. ANP was founded as a secular liberal party.

        They have been targeted many times by Pak Taliban. So atleast on paper they are secular it's members in practice don't seem to be.

        This young man may indeed have been accused for pro-ahmedi views or the motive was something else and this was the excuse.

        Yes, but was it the claim of 'pro-ahmedi' views that whipped up such furious mob hatred? This seems more important than what he actually did

        What is the spark that turns human beings who presumably feel love &empathy into monsters who stomp on heads & revel in blood & pain & fear?

        @MaajidNawaz said its fundamentalism, not Islamism.

        Yes, if fundamentalism is the same thing as ideological fervour.
