哈菲兹*穆罕默德*塔希尔*梅赫穆德*阿什拉菲，左图是接受萨拉*穆拉利夫人颁发的奖项 坎特伯雷大主教撤回了授予一位赞扬奥萨马*本*拉登的穆斯林神职人员的奖励。
Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi received the award for reconciliation and interfaith cooperation from Dame Sarah Mullally last week, on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi上周在9/11袭击事件发生25周年之际获得了Dame Sarah Mullally颁发的和解与宗教间合作奖。
Lambeth Palace faced a backlash after it emerged Ashrafi praised Bin Laden - the architect of the 2001 attacks - as someone who had "been fighting for Islam against the Russians, Americans and British", in comments from 2007.
在2007年的评论中，阿什拉菲称赞本*拉登是2001年袭击的设计者，他"一直在为伊斯兰教而战，反对俄罗斯人、美国人和英国人"。
Ashrafi also reportedly said he would give Bin Laden the title Saifullah, which means "Sword of God".
据报道，阿什拉菲还表示，他将给本拉登一个赛弗拉的头衔，意思是"上帝之剑"。
He told the BBC his remarks had been "totally taken out of context". In presenting the award last week, the Archbishop's office said Ashrafi was being honoured for "his outstanding work as an ambassador of interfaith harmony in Pakistan, known for his commitment to promoting religious tolerance".
他告诉BBC，他的言论"完全断章取义"。 在上周颁发奖项时，大主教办公室表示，阿什拉菲因"他作为巴基斯坦宗教间和谐大使的杰出工作而受到表彰，他以致力于促进宗教宽容而闻名"。
His award was presented by Dame Sarah in a ceremony that coincided with the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the US in which nearly 3,000 people were killed.
萨拉夫人在一个仪式上颁发了他的奖项，当时正值美国9/11袭击事件发生25周年纪念日，近3,000人丧生。
Ashrafi told the BBC that his remarks had been "totally taken out of context" and the backlash had been "an unfair campaign" against him.
阿什拉菲告诉英国广播公司，他的言论已经"完全断章取义"，反弹是对他的"不公平的运动"。
He said that he was only speaking about Bin Laden in 2007 in response to "the hurt felt by many Muslims" over a knighthood being awarded to the Satanic Verses author Sir Salman Rushdie.
他说，他只是在2007年谈到本*拉登，以回应"许多穆斯林感到的伤害"，因为他被授予撒旦经文作者萨尔曼*拉什迪爵士的爵位。
But he defended the comparison he made between an author and a man who was behind the deaths of thousands of people.
但他为他在一位作家和一位数千人死亡背后的人之间所做的比较辩护。
Criticism of Ashrafi has gone beyond his comments about Bin Laden.
对阿什拉菲的批评已经超出了他对本拉登的评论。
In giving him his award for promoting interfaith harmony last week, Lambeth Palace had cited the fact that Ashrafi had intervened in the 2012 case of Rimsha Masih, a young Christian girl in Pakistan falsely accused of blasphemy.
在上周为促进宗教间和谐而获奖时，兰贝斯宫引用了阿什拉菲干预2012年巴基斯坦年轻基督教女孩Rimsha Masih的案件的事实。
But Ashrafi has otherwise been supportive of Pakistan's blasphemy laws that have led to an estimated 2000 people being prosecuted since the late 1980s.
但阿什拉菲在其他方面一直支持巴基斯坦的亵渎法律，这些法律导致自2000晚期以来估计有2080人被起诉。
They include a disproportionately high number of Pakistan's minority Christians and Ahmadis in particular, but many majority Sunni Muslims too.
其中包括巴基斯坦少数派基督徒和艾哈迈德派教徒的人数不成比例，但也有许多逊尼派穆斯林。
Ashrafi claimed the blasphemy laws actually "save lives", stopping people taking matters into their own hands.
阿什拉菲声称亵渎法律实际上"拯救生命"，阻止人们将事情掌握在自己手中。
But Human Rights Watch said last year that "the laws perpetuate religious discrimination and are used to target the poor and minorities in unlawful evictions and land grabs".
但人权观察去年表示，"这些法律使宗教歧视永久化，并被用来针对非法驱逐和土地掠夺的穷人和少数群体"。
The organisation has called on the Pakistani government to urgently reform the laws to prevent them "being weaponised to [...] attack marginalised communities".
该组织呼吁巴基斯坦政府紧急改革法律，以防止这些法律"被武器化"。..]攻击边缘化社区"。
