Religious parties Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) announced a bounty of Rs100 million on the people who made and published the caricatures.
Hundreds of activists led by JIs Abdul Mastan, JUI-Fs Amir Hidayatul Haq and ASWJ leaders protested against the cartoons on Friday in Shabqadar and adopted a declaration urging people to boycott French products.
Addressing the protest, Mastan demanded that the federal government expel the French ambassador from Pakistan, while JUI-Fs Maulana Wakeel Ahmad said Pakistan should call a session of the United Nations and rally for a ban on publications insulting religion and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
A similar demonstration was also held in Tangi tehsil at Farooque Azam Square where JUI-F MNA Maulana Gohar Shah, JUI-F Charsadda Amir Hashim Khan, JI Charsadda Amir Misbahullah along with other leaders demanded action against the controversial cartoonists and urged the Islamic world to unite against such freedom of speech.

I'm not picking on Islam, I mean my statement to apply to any religious fruit loop that takes it upon himself to act for his/her God.

(48,181 posts)Islam, like the other Abrahamic religions, is a religion of peace, beauty, and purple unicorns that fart strawberries. Anyone who says otherwise ought to be summarily executed for blasphemy.
