A bail application was denied today for the 72 years old Ahmadi doctor who has been languishing in a Pakistani jail since Monday, November 25th.

Dr Masood Ahmad, a British national, was arrested in Old Anarkali area of Lahore on blasphemy allegations for having read the translation of a verse from the Qur’an, the Muslim Holy Book.

The Defendant was later charged with the Ahmadi-specific portion of the Blasphemy Law – section 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code – when an enraged mob showed up at the police station demanding charging Dr Masood for ‘posing as a Muslim.’

The mullahs presented a secretly recorded video as an evidence of the ‘crime’ showing Dr Masood referring to a Quranic verse while reading aloud its Urdu translation.

The local police accepted the video tape into evidence and later raided the defendant’s clinic for additional ‘objectionable materials.’

According to a Twitter post by the Ahmadiyya spokesperson in Pakistan, Mr Saleem-ud Din, ‘the magistrate hearing the bail application dismissed it while there was a heavy presence of mullahs at the court premises.’

According to the laws of Pakistan it is a criminal act for an Ahmadi to read the Holy Qur’ān or act in a manner that may project the Ahmadī as ‘posing as a Muslim.’

    May Allah help Ahmadi in Pakistan. In chapter 2 verse 257 Allah says “There should be no compulsion in religion”.The fanatic group of Muslims is ruining the peaceful religion. The islam teaches or explained by clerics (Mullah) is the wrong interpretation of Islam and they are the worse enemy of Islam. Please wake-up Pakistanis. What is happening in your country in the name of Islam. Is this the teaching of Islam to kill innocent peoples? May Allah gives you wisdom and strength to fight against the falsehood and follow the true teaching of Islam. May Allah Save Pakistan.

    With each failing diet, I became more desperate to find the
    next promised miracle. It really doesn’t matter if it’s the latest fad or if it’s just getting more exercise.
    Hypnotherapy is like any other method or technique.
