According to the complainant, Akhtar Ali, the picture was an insult to their religious beliefs, adding that he was hurt.

"On 18 September, I was with my friends Bakht Khan and Saddam... We took our friend Waqar's mobile phone and started seeing pictures of his various friends on Facebook. But when we opened Nabeel Masih's profile, there was a picture posted in which the Kaaba is defamed and disrespected. Seeing that picture, our religious feelings were hurt", he told the Police.

However, Nabeel's 24-year-old cousin, Imran, said the like and share was innocent.

"It was only a mistake by him and he clearly stated that he did not intend to hurt but to condemn the post," he told World Watch Monitor.

What do you think? Is this an innocent or intentionally insulting act?
