Once again our country faces another assassination of strong political leader. It started with Liaqat Ali Khan who was assassinated by his own gunman, then Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in bomb blast and now Salmaan Taseer is also assassinated by his own gunman. He was assassinated because of his strong stance against the us of prevailing blasphemy laws.
He was never against blasphemy laws as none of his interviews and statements show. Even if it were true, Islam does not allow to kill anyone. It sure is a murder, political or religious.
Many Pakistanis are happy about his assassination. We must think that he was someones son, husband, and father. He was a public figure. All Pakistanis should stand united against the misuse of Islam.
