The supposedly "moderate school of Islam" celebrates the murder of a politician who opposed Pakistan's blasphemy laws:
Five hundred Pakistani religious scholars said that anyone who expressed grief over the assassination of Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab province, could suffer the same fate.
Meanwhile, the Taliban had this to say about the murder:
However, in a sign of how confusing Pakistan's politics can be, pro-Taliban cleric Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi condemned the killing of Taseer, saying the law was man-made and not divine.
"It is the product of extremism and fanaticism which is damaging for an Islamic society," said Ashrafi. He said the clerics' association which he heads has 5,000 members.
