An angry mob in Pakistan accused a woman who wore a dress adorned with Arabic calligraphy of blasphemy, after mistaking them for Quran verses.
She was saved by police who escorted her to safety after hundreds gathered. She later gave a public apology.
The dress has the word “Halwa” printed in Arabic letters on it, meaning beautiful in Arabic.
Blasphemy is punishable by death in Pakistan. Some people have been lynched even before their cases go on trial.
So this bunch of fuckwits who don’t even know their own religious verses well enough to tell them apart from the word “beautiful” repeatedly written on a bit of clothing get dangerous at an innocent person, and she’s the one apologising?
Yeah, that tracks.
