What are Muslims scared of?

Tambi Dude emailed me this link today:

Sajeel Ahmed, 18, of Khushab was accused of making derogatory remarks about the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) in a first information report (FIR) registered under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), which carries the death penalty. The complainant is his classmate Waqas Nadeem, who said that Sajeel had tried to convert other students and made remarks that hurt their religious sentiments.

The history of Islam, starting with Muhammad himself, is filled with wars, slavery and conversions of subjugated populations with the aid of the jizya. Yet, here's a man who is using mere rhetoric to convince some people and his punishment from the hands of Muslims will likely be death.

Sajeel’s father Hakim Jameel was accused of describing his son as a Muslim in his school admission form, an offence under Section 298-C of the PPC with a penalty of up to three years in prison. The complainant in the case is Qari Saeed Ahmed, who submitted that “the Muslims of Khushab are worried about the increasing number and activities of Qadianis [Ahmadis] in the city”.

That's right. A father, who belongs to a tiny sect in Islam, describes his son as a Muslim. He can be put behind bars for three years!
