A Sri Lankan factory manager in Pakistan has been beaten to death and set ablaze by a mob, police confirmed, in an incident local media reported was linked to alleged blasphemy.

The incident took place in Sialkot, about 200km (125 miles) southeast of the capital Islamabad, on Friday.

Few issues are as galvanising in Pakistan as blasphemy, and even the slightest suggestion of an insult to Islam can supercharge protests and incite lynchings.

Prime Minister Imran Khan said he was overseeing the investigation into “the horrific vigilante attack”, as he called it “a day of shame for Pakistan”.

A police official in Sialkot, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, said investigators believed the attackers had accused the manager of blasphemy for tearing down a poster with Islamic holy verses.

Several gruesome video clips shared on social media showed a mob beating the prone victim while chanting slogans against blasphemy.

Other clips showed his body set ablaze, as well as the overturned wreckage of what was said to be his car.

Many in the mob made no attempt to hide their identity and some took selfies in front of the burning corpse.

Punjab government spokesman Hassaan Khawar told reporters in Lahore that police have already arrested 50 people.

Nothing special there. Rank amateurs compared to what went on during the Spanish Inquisition.

"Nothing special there. Rank amateurs compared to what went on during the Spanish Inquisition."

The Spanish Inquisition actually had a relatively low body count. Estimates of executions vary, but are thought to have been maybe 3,250 during the period from 1480 to 1730.

That's 13 people a year.

I don't know about the numbers, but the torture was top notch.

Well put it in its proper context though, torture wasn't exactly a rarity in pre-modern Europe, with or without the Inquisition.

As late as 1800, England's legal code had 220 crimes for which the penalty was death.

The world was just more brutal back then in general. The Inquisition stands out today not because of any particular barbarities it committed; it just happened to occasionally commit those barbarities against Protestants. And seeing as how we live in a WASP-founded country...that shit wasn't taken well by our forefathers.
