Hafiz Saeed on blasphemy and anti islam film-India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed attending a rally to protest against the anti-Islam film, said that the United States should make a law against blasphemy, failing which they would stop the functioning of U.S. consulates in Pakistan. "The US must make a law against blasphemy - or we will not let the US consulates in Pakistan function," The Express Tribune quoted Saeed, as saying. The rally, organised by the Tehreek Hurmat-i-Rasool (THR), was attended by around 10,000 people. The rally was addressed by Saeed, THR head Ameer Hamza, JD leader Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki, Pakistan Muslim League (Zia) head Ijazul Haq, Jamaat Ulema Islam-Sami (JUI-S) leader Asim Makhdoom and Jamaat Ahle Hadith ameer Hafiz Abdul Ghaffar Ropari. Saeed alleged that the film- Innocence of Muslims - had been produced with the backing of U.S. establishment. He said the director, the producer and all those involved in the production and release of the movie must be hanged publicly. Saeed said a resolution condemning the film in the parliament was not enough. Instead, President Asif Ali Zardari must announce jihad against countries like the U.S. that supported attacks on Islam. The Organisation of Islamic Countries Conference should announce a boycott of U.S. goods, he added.
