Pakistan: “General Zia got Bhutto killed because he believed Bhutto was an uncircumcised Hindu!”- Imran Shafqat, Pakistani journalist
“General Zia-ul-Haq considered Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto as a Hindu. After he was hanged to death by the Pakistani army, General Zia got Bhutto’s dead body checked for circumcision.”- revealed Pakistani journalist Imran Shafqat. He further insinuated that Bhutto was killed by General Zia because of his doubt of Bhutto being an uncircumcised Hindu.
In Islam, circumcision is a ritual associated with cleanliness and purity of the body. It is a sign of belonging to the Islamic faith. Prophet Muhammad decrees circumcision as a law for Muslim men. Thus, the act becomes a symbol of belonging to the Islamic faith and a way to follow Prophet Muhammad.
It is because of the cultural and religious adherence of this practice that uncircumcised men are ridiculed by Muslim men, all over the world. The greatest casualties of this ridicule, by the Islamic army of Pakistan, were the Hindu men, who were targeted by the Pakistani armies during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation war. The Pakistani soldiers would check whether captured men were circumcised to determine whether they were Muslim or not. At checkpoints, uncircumcised Hindus were ridiculed and killed by the Pakistani army.
