| 2017-12-04 |
| [DAWN] Against the backdrop of a 20-day-long Faizabad sit-in, the Supreme Court has ruled that no one could be allowed to use "filthy-abusive language" for the sake of politics in the guise of an Islamic cause. "Freedom of speech and expression as well as freedom of the press is enshrined as a fundamental right (Article 19 of the Constitution), but the same provision curtails it when it is used to undermine ’the glory of Islam or the integrity, security or defence of Pakistain... or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, commission of or incitement to an offence’," says an eight-page order issued by a two-judge Supreme Court bench comprising Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Saturday. "No one can be allowed to use filthy-abusive language to advance a political agenda in the guise of an Islamic cause as it amounts to denigrating the glory of Islam...Force and violence (jabr) has no place in Islam. The word Islam itself means peace," the bench ruled. On Nov 30, while hearing a suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard... case regarding the use of abusive language at the Faizabad sit-in and chronic traffic congestion and roadblocks placed because of the sit-in, the court had observed that it would issue a detailed order at a later date. |

| #1 The word Islam itself means peace," the bench ruled. A mighty, peculiar religion! Islam's institutional vision Is "peace," and its herd Misuse one sunny word To obscure fifty shades of submission. |
