This week, one million Muslims attended the funeral of a terrorist who murdered a moderate Muslim governor in Pakistan:
Salmaan Taseer was assassinated by his security guard, Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, who disagreed with Taseer’s opposition to Pakistan’s blasphemy law. In 2011, Taseer had defended a Christian woman who was accused of blasphemy against Islam. This week Pakistani officials hung Mumtaz Qadri for assassinating the moderate governor. Taseer was a moderate Muslim and was punished for it. Religion of Peace? I think not!
