  • View of Barelvis, These Numbers Reveal an Undeniable Reality: the Struggle Between Deobandism and Barelvism Has Intensified—And the Trends Suggest Barelvis Are Losing
    The Assertion of Barelvi Extremism By Ismail Khan n january 4, 2011, salman taseer, the governor of the pakistani province of Punjab, was shot to death in the capital city of Islamabad by one of his bodyguards, Malik Mumtaz Qadri. In his confession statement, Qadri said that he committed the cold-blooded murder to avenge the gov- ernor’s public criticism of Pakistan’s blasphemy law.1 The controversial Olaw provides for punishments, ranging from fines to death sentences, for those found guilty of desecrating religion.2 Governor Taseer emerged as an outspoken critic of the law through his advocacy of leniency in the case of Aasia Bibi, a poor Christian woman convicted to death on November 11, 2010 for allegedly speaking “ill” against the Prophet Muhammad (a charge that Aasia flatly rejected.)3 As she waited in prison to be hanged for her offense, Taseer personally visited her and forwarded her clemency appeal to the President of Pak- istan.4 The governor’s efforts on Aasia’s behalf—and his labeling of the blasphemy law as a “black law”—outraged many in Pakistan. By late November 2010, religious groups around the country were staging mass demonstrations against the government to show support for the law and to condemn Taseer, with some claiming that the governor himself was guilty of apostasy—a crime punishable by death in Islamic law.5 While the high-profile assassination shocked many in Pakistan, not all condemned the murder. Indeed, thousands rallied to Qadri’s defense, praising him as a hero for his “religious honor and integrity.”6 A Facebook page honoring Qadri was created only hours after the murder and soon attracted over a thousand followers; similar websites praising the assassin remain active to this day.7 A few days after the assassination, leading reli- gious groups led a demonstration of over fifty thousand people in Karachi in support of the blasphemy law.
