Rabi Pirzada is amongst the famous pop singers of Pakistan who launched her career with her first hit song dahdi kurree in 2005 which was a hit. Then came songs like Mujhe Ishq Hai, jadoo, and more. Rabia has been part of a few controversies in the past an lately, she decided to speak up against a serious issue.
Just last week, Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders said that he canceled a planned blasphemous caricatures contest following “death threats and concerns other people could be put at risk”. The contest was due to be held in November at the tightly guarded offices of his Party for Freedom in the Dutch parliament building. However, Mr. Wilders made a statement, saying “To avoid the risk of victims of Islamic violence, I have decided to not let the cartoon contest go ahead.

She later posted a video wherein detailed, she talked about the on-going issue of making blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Holland and how it is an act of terrorism and person accountable for this should be hanged to death.
She also mentioned how since then, she has received over thousands of blasphemous pictures and had to block those users. Not only this but she was also disappointed by the fact that not a single religious Muslim scholar stood by her in this sensitive issue.
