In 2010, #AasiaBibi, a poor Christian woman in Pakistan, was sentenced to death for blasphemy against Islam. When the governor of the province, Salman Taseer, voiced opposition to the verdict, he was assassinated by his own bodyguard, Mumtaz Qadri. /1
Mumtaz Qadri was outraged that the governor would stand with a woman who had allegedly insulted Islam and its prophet Muhammad. He believed that not only should #AasiaBibi be executed, but Salman Taseer too. So he shot the governor dead—and immediately became a hero. /2
Mumtaz Qadri was executed in 2016. Here are some pictures from his funeral. Look at the crowds full of his admirers. These people think of Qadri as a hero for assassinating the governor who opposed #AasiaBibi’s death sentence for blasphemy. Look at these crowds. /3
