LAHORE - Film director Syed Noor of an upcoming film lauding extra-judicial killing in the name of Islam denies any similarity between his film and last month's killing of Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer.
For Pakistanis, the scene may evoke memories of the moment Taseer was killed by his own security guard last month for speaking out against the blasphemy laws, which have long been used to carry out personal vendettas and persecute minorities. Instead, it's a poster for upcoming
