AMU student leader Farhan Zuberi calls for beheading
In a shocking act, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) student leader Farhan Zuberi had called for the beheading of individuals who dares to dishonour Prophet Muhammad on Live TV. His threats came at the backdrop of the recent Islamic terror attacks in France and the subsequent global campaign of Muslims to boycott French products over the Charlie Hebdo row.
In a video posted by Zuberi on Twitter on October 29, the AIMIM leader was seen giving open threats to behead people if they are found disrespecting Prophet Muhammad.
Speaking at a protest rally, Zuberi said, “If anyone commits blasphemy, we will behead him. The foundation of Islam is based on the Kalma (la ila ilalla..muhammad rasoolullah). If anyone does wrong to our Creator, then we will not tolerate this. French President says that the (Charlie Hebdo) cartoons, which were projected on buildings in public view, was freedom of expression.”

After getting caught of issuing threats to behead, Zuberi had even justified his hate speech by saying, “Absolutely. How can someone dare to disrespect our Prophet? Why should anyone do this?”.
