blasphemer

米国で制作されたイスラム預言者ムハンマドを侮辱する映画をめぐり、パキスタンのビロウル鉄道相は22日、制作者を殺害した者に10万ドルの賞金を与えると述べました。日本では考えられないことかもしれませんが、これも来るべきものが来たという感じです。

標題のblasphemerはblasphemeからの人物名詞です。memidixは、"a person who speaks disrespectfully of sacred things"と定義しています。つまり、「神を冒涜した者、冒涜者」あたりでしょう。併せて、blasphemy 、blasphemousも押さえておきましょう。(UG)

Pakistani minister offers $100,000 to anyone who kills anti-Islam filmmaker
WORLD SEP. 23, 2012 - 06:15AM JST ( 29 )

PESHAWAR, Pakistan —

A Pakistani minister offered $100,000 on Saturday to anyone who kills the maker of an online video which insults Islam, as sporadic protests rumbled on across parts of the Muslim world.

“I announce today that this blasphemer, this sinner who has spoken nonsense about the holy Prophet, anyone who murders him, I will reward him with $100,000,” Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour told a news conference, to applause.

“I invite the Taliban brothers and the al-Qaida brothers to join me in this blessed mission.”

A spokesman for Pakistan’s prime minister said the government disassociated itself from the minister’s statement.

While many Muslim countries saw mostly peaceful protests on Friday, fifteen people were killed in Pakistan during demonstrations over the video.
People involved in the film, an amateurish 13-minute clip of which was posted on YouTube, have said it was made by a 55-year-old California man, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.

Nakoula has not returned to his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos since leaving voluntarily to be interviewed by federal authorities. His family has since gone into hiding.
