Killing a person just because his beliefs are different from yours has to be the worst that came out from some of the religious extremists.
This incident of mufti who said something related to "Quran has a grammatical mistake" is deemed blasphemous and now he will have to be cautious throughout his life. What a sad state of affairs. (I watched some of his videos after the incident)
When it comes to enemies of Islam, we find individuals whose lives were dedicated to mocking and condemning Islamic teachings. When they attacked Islam and insulted the Prophet (SAW), they were given appropriate punishment.
I fail to understand how one can be an "enemy" of a religion? Is the religion that weak that it needs to constantly punish people to assert its dominance?
Religion should be a very personal thing, not behave like a political ideology and this goes for many religions.
(I guess I have blasphemed (if that's even a word...lol) and I might be in danger too.)
Good overall message.
All of the blasphemy situations prove that separating religion and state is very important.
(Don't make posts like this while you are there...lol). Stay safe, bro.

I was going to say the same thing!

The essence of your comment can be summarized in four points.
First, you mentioned that the Mufti should be cautious for his safety, which is indeed unfortunate. Interestingly, he has already arrived in Pakistan. May Allah protect him and grant him a long life.
Secondly, you questioned why Islam needs to punish blasphemers. In this context, your third point was that religion and politics should be kept separate, as the secular ideology suggests.
In response to this, I would say that Islam is not a religion that lacks political influence. Rather, Islam is a complete political system, and the only way to implement Islam is through Islamic politics. Christianity or Judaism may be forced to accept this notion because they do not have an organized political system. However, Islam provides guidance on every aspect of politics. When Islam offers a comprehensive practical political system, it is impossible to separate Islam from politics.
Yes, it is regrettable that the Islamic political system is not fully implemented anywhere in the world today. But the non-implementation of something does not prove it to be wrong. The Islamic political system is based on justice, fairness, and equality, while secular democracy violates all these values, which are considered unethical by human conscience. As we observe in the world today, the sentiments of people from other religions are often disregarded as a trivial matter because it is not seen as wrong, even if it hurts millions of people.
Allama Iqbal beautifully encapsulates the relationship between religion and politics:
"When religion is separated from politics, all that remains is tyranny."
Fourth, you mentioned that both you and I should be cautious. I agree with you on this point as well. In fact, I have personally faced such circumstances that would leave you astonished. Perhaps, one day, I will write about all of it in detail.
ahm???? the Catholic church ruled Europe for years using the bible to guide their decisions that, using bible rules to guide the European life and they used it to become tyrants, the same way you will find many muslins countries , check the list of dictatorial countries:

You will find many countries ruled and based on the Quran...then you will argue that they are using the holy book in the wrong way...well that's a problem, people use religion to justify their actions. Any a Holy book has principles and rules that could be used in politics because they were written years and years ago when we didn't have countries it was a way to try to establish the first set of social rules.
Ouch!! I am glad it is not. It is really barbaric in most cases. Imagine living in such a country as a non-muslim, as a second-class citizen. Imagine not being able to preach your religion openly. Or worse imagine leaving Islam. 💀
Or, even worse, living as a girl. Or even more worse, as a homosexual (astaghfirullah). Imagine going back to the political system of 14th-century Arabia.

Not even remotely close to being just, fair or equal. (Sit down once with an open mind and try to research every topic by yourself, without any biases and you will come to a similar conclusion).
@gwajnberg I think u might be interested in this reply as well.
