Acquitted of blaspheming Mohammed’s beard

by Scott Gilbreath ~ November 10th, 2008

A Pakistani court has acquitted a Christian doctor accused of making “derogatory remarks against the beard of Prophet Muhammad”.

When ANS [Assist News Service] asked him why blasphemy allegation was leveled against him [Dr] Robin said that he was liked by most of Muslims due to his hospitable, generous and kind posture.

Some Muslims, he said started nursing jealousy for him. “When it (jealousy) peaked they conspired and implicated me in a false blasphemy case”, he said.

Unfortunately, the story does not tell us exactly what impudent wisecrack Dr Robin was alleged to have made about the Hirsute One’s beard.
