I don't know maybe the fact that a lynch mob exists in the first place, and the whole blashemy thing been the root cause, maybe people need a bit more critical thinking and less brainwashing from religion.
Ok so it happened in Pakistan, a majority muslin population, where the punishment for blasphemy ranges from a fine to the death penalty. The religion of peace thinks it's ok to kill someone for saying something bad about some guy, who may or may not have existed as long time ago. Just think about that for more than a minute and tell me that's not crazy.
The police officer would probably have been part of the mob if they weren't an officer, being an officer wasn't the issue, being brainwashed by religion was.

This sounds like a religion problem more than a police problem

There's room for it to be both

It's absolutely a religion problem
The police didn't do their jobs in some sense but religion was the root

How so, given a police officer is cited as responsible for killing the person, what has that got to do with religion?

Assumptions are not critical thinking, as far as I can tell no reason has yet been reported for the police officer shooting.

You're either fucking stupid, or just stupid enough to think your argument is reasonable.

That's like saying retail was the problem because one of the dudes in the mob was a shop keeper. Look beyond the job.

So people can just accuse somebody and get a lynchmob going, huh? I guess we've gotten a few instances of that in the West now too.

I mean, witch trials? Lynchings? We've always had that problem in one way or another.
huginn@feddit.it · 5 pts · 1y
Yes but part of progress and societal growth is giving up lynchings and mob justice. It's intrinsically uncivilized.
Randelung@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Yes, but we haven't managed that step, either.

Sure, but we aren't in the dark ages anymore (at least we shouldn't be?).

The last recognised lynching in the US was in 1981.

That's what they said in the dark ages, too...

Yeah, probably not, bruv...

Is there any way to see threads on Xitter without an account? I can only see the post and none of the responses or subsequent posts by the OP

Looks like Khatam-e-Nabuwat is a Pakistani religious organization? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalmi_Majlis_Tahaffuz_Khatm-e-Nubuwwat

Do you know more of the context of this mob attack? Does it have something to do with the politics of who owns that region?
