[@mohammadnasir694]

To be honest, there is not even a need to comment on that troll. It’s understood when one of these spring up. Quran does not even mention blasphemy law which the idiot won’t know. But khair, brave effort. Blasphemy law has been abused for way too long. Second, we need free societies where even if someone does criticise the prophet, we need to defend with facts and not force.

Holy shit. Several years ago, in 2016 perhaps? I was refuting a madrissa friend on blasphemy laws and I was literally translated this whole DAWN article for my friend, in Urdu, because he does not understand English. I did it manually to convey my point, I remember it took me probably hours. When Arafat mentioned in podcast "he met Ismail" it reminded me of that article because author at point had said the same thing. I just looked up the article and it's written by Arafat Mazhar. ❤

This is such a vital topic for every Pakistani to know and understand well and that is what this podcast has done. The conversation around the law needs to be happening in every house and especially in the corridors of power. We need to fully grasp the history, context, reality and impact of it and we need to lobby for sanity to prevail.

Kudos to Shehzad and The Pakistan Experience for always talking about issues that matter. While there may be some horrible social media campaigns against Shehzad hiding under the garb of many different excuses, we all know that THIS is what they want to stop. This is what they fear.

The idea of there being joy in our theology made me pause and try to (unsuccessfully) remember the last time I felt true joy whilst engaging in a religious practice. The constant n o i s e that we are subjected to in our everyday lives permeates our very souls and before we know it- we're unable to tell where we end and the prejudice begins. Everyone's rushing to get an A in their faith by any means necessary and anyone who fails to toe that line or rejects it completely gets kicked out of the room. I can't help but feel extremely aware of how much my environment plays a role in this. The subtle and insidious ways hate has seeped into the words and actions we are subjected to in our everyday lives has shaped us today, leaving us free to strip away the humanity of whomever we're displeased with at any given moment. And that is a terrifying thought. To have that kind of power running unchecked within us, among us. Thank you for this insightful, empathetic and rational conversation! The fact that a majority of the comment section is concerned for your safety speaks volumes about the fear that prevails. The fear of asking questions, of calling out what needs to be called out. And the fear, of giving second chances. Peace!

[@SaeedRisalat]

Dear Shehzad, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for your recent podcast episode on the blasphemy law in Pakistan. It was nothing short of extraordinary, and I cannot begin to express how important and courageous your discussion was. In a world where fear and silence often overshadow the truth, you and Arafat stood tall and took the leap to address a topic as sensitive and significant as the blasphemy law. It takes immense bravery to tackle such matters, knowing the risks involved and the backlash it might attract. Yet, you both fearlessly delved into the heart of the issue, shedding light on its complexities and implications. Your dedication to discussing issues that truly matter is remarkable. While some may resort to social media campaigns against you, attempting to silence your voice, we all recognize their true intentions. They seek to hinder conversations like the one you had, for they fear the power of truth and knowledge. But please know that their attempts are futile, for your work resonates deeply within the hearts and minds of those who genuinely care. I want to express my utmost gratitude to Arafat as well. His grace in uncovering the truth left a profound impact on me. By the end of the episode, tears streamed down my face, moved by the labor of love he poured into his research. It was evident that every word spoken, every source shared, carried the weight of sincerity and commitment to unveiling the truth. In a climate marred by violence and erasure, Arafat's dedication to sharing knowledge is an act of daring and an inspiration to us all. This podcast episode goes beyond mere words. It touches the very core of our existence and the values we hold dear. It reminds us of the importance of honest conversations about love and faith. It urges us to confront the darkness that shrouds our society, and it serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating a path towards understanding and progress. Shehzad, your work and the platform you have created, The Pakistan Experience, are catalysts for change. You have brought to light issues that have long been ignored or silenced, and you have ignited conversations that are vital for the growth and well-being of our nation. Please continue the brilliant work you do, knowing that you have an army of supporters who stand behind you, valuing the truth and the courage it takes to share it. In this journey, trolls and detractors will always exist, but they shall forever remain irrelevant and unknown. The impact you make on the lives of those who listen, who learn, and who are inspired by your words far outweighs their noise. Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your exceptional podcast episode. May it reach the depths of the hateful hearts and remind them of the power of love, empathy, and understanding. Let us strive for more conversations like this-honest, enlightening, and unafraid. Together, we can create a brighter and more inclusive future for all. With heartfelt gratitude and unwavering support, Saeed Risalat

Outstanding video. I am amazed by the wisdom and dedication of Arafat and you for giving him a platform. Education is the anwer to all of our problems.

see if you can counter this, Only Blasphemy on Islam happened is when Islam was used for dirty politics by wealthy Bombay lawyer sipping whisky, smoking cigar and never did a namaz. It was all done to safeguard fertile lands of Nawabs of Bengal and Punjab.

Me and my mother is praying for you both. We need more people like you two who can open eyes of the entire nation. Allah bless you all

Kudos to both of you guys for having a comprehensive discussion about this serious matter. This law is one of the many other reasons that give me an opportunity to curse Zia the Hypocrite every single day. I have always been an ardent opponent of this illogical law that reeks of antediluvian mindset. This draconian law has to be repealed in its entirety otherwise the country will plunge deeper and deeper in the quagmire of religious intolerance and violence. This law is nothing but a convenient tool in the hands of those zealots who unabashedly use it to create problems of gigantic proportion for their opponents and other innocent people alike. A false allegation and the whole life of the victim is destroyed within few minutes.

Whats critical in it? Isnt it straight forward that its wrong.

[@MrFeithLes]

A person who wanted to change these blasphemy laws was killed by his driver but the driver was made the hero in this country, what a shame.

Well done guys. May Allah SWT keep you safe and give you the resolve to continue to spread the light of truth and knowledge.

Love this series/podcast. I’m an expat and have always bemoaned the fact that our history and real social issues plaguing our country have been inaccessible and I am so glad you are bringing this into public consciousness ❤. You cannot bring about change if you don’t know what you don’t know.

[@rahimshukla4264]

Shocked at this version of liberalism or liberal islam i must say: for the 1:40 mins I agree with this person, but when he disclosed his personal views (which he did bring in at the end close to 1hr 40min mark) they blew my mind away - So, what he is essentially suggesting is - whoever speaks against the prophet will have to be punished - but his view is, they should not be punished this hard. As long as people think, that criticizing anyone is hurtful, society will remain stuck. I think it would have been better to make his position clear at the start itself - and make it clear that he too believes there should be punishment for blasphemers - just not as hard. So, this entire podcast is essentially about saying, yes, punish them - just dont murder them - and this is progress. Good to know.

[@eddiegune1512]

this is what pakistan is....even the liberals are right-wing

[@FarazAhmedKhan-xg9gx]

great catch: I guess most of the viewers here are shocked at the topic itself....so they have lost it on seeing that this nutcase is himself part of the issue: he thinks that messing with the prophets IS NOT FREE SPEECH - then wtf is he lecturing us: because he only thinks they should be punished but not murdered. This is what progress in Pakistan looks like.

[@Afaqi2012]

ہندوستان میں ستی کی رسم تھی جسے بہت عزت کی نگاہ سے دیکھا جاتا تھا لیکن لارڈ بینٹنگ نے ایک دو ہندو مذہبی لیڈروں کو بلا کر ستی رسم کے خاتمے کے لئے کوشش کی اور پھر اسے جرم قرار دیدیا۔ ابتداء میں کافی شور ہوا لیکن پھر اس کا اثر قائم ہو گیا۔ ذہنوں سے بعض دفعہ اس قسم کے غلط غیرتی تصورات نکالنے کافی مشکل ہوتے ہیں

Hats off to both of you guys, on discussing this issue on camera. it was much needed. and Great work by Arafat and his team. I wish every Pakistani read this book.

BRAVE AF, I know many Indians watching this might think what’s brave in it? But friends you have to understand the place they are speaking from and the system they are in trust me what this guy said, only this might land him in trouble so, I wish you both saftey because i don’t pray as I am atheist.

Bhai bura mat manna, if this is the state of affairs it’s more than concerning! If this is where the country is, it will take not less than 100 years to reach a place where religion based identity is refuted. It does not do any good! Quom, quom, is what we hear from muslims in India, it’s crazy man, rise above theee things!

[@karachiseascouts]

Thanks for sharing your research paper. Much needed discussion.

Hey Shehzad, I just wanted to say what a great podcast you have! Keep up the excellent work. I appreciate your discussion of the blasphemy law in Pakistan, as I myself left the country because of it.

Are there any guidelines to upload on spotify? It takes time for latest episode to show there. YT is quick Or you prefer it this way bro? Apple Podcasts is slowest I guess

It is ironic that the Ahmediya and certain Shia community who vigorously supported the partition of India to create Pakistan. Now, the Pakistan state and its sunni population have turned against these communities. It is called Karma. This is also called poetic justice.

[@noorwaheed1280]

Also thank you the Pakistan Experience for platforming such an important conversation!

Shehzad Bhai, i am an Ahmadi Muslim and i would like to let you know that this podcast of yours brought tears of joy/tears of hope in my eyes. Happy to see that the Real Teachings of Islam are finally prevailing within the mindset of educated people like you and having a courage to speak the truth openly. I will remember you in my prayers that you stay healthy and safe and May Allah helps you prosper to the most Aameen.

Comprehensive research on primary historical sources is rare in Pakistan. A very good job on the report.

[@beardedpaki]

Another line of questioning that I was waiting for from Shahzad is on the blatant insecurity of global religions to have apostasy and blasphemy laws in the first place.

[@shahzadasif786]

Glad to hear this, that someone can speak up., awesome and very informative.

[@ijazawan7865]

Blasphemy law is in itself contradictions with the freedom of religio and freedom of speech mentioned in the constitution.

[@yasirhasan6854]

Well, finding flaws in the law doesn't omit the fundamental issue with concept. So, if I commit blasphemy and insist on it, then there is no religious ruling opposing the execution right? You see the problem here? We can be apologetic about the law and people taking law into their hands but the actual problem is that we present a person and religion as the best thing ever and divine and yet it is not allowed to analyze or criticize it.

[@saadrashid6550]
