Overall, I agree with many of your points, but it appears you have a different definition of secularism than I do.
Yes, that is true - but they have also abandoned their religion altogether. The dominant view in the West today is that religion causes violence, which is why we need to remove it...
I agree with this fully, there should be a penalty for insulting religious sentiments of any religious group, similar to hate-speech laws in other parts of the world.
The Pakistan Penal code is supposed to have this in it, but I don't think it's enforced properly;
298 Uttering of any word or...
Interest is a matter of economic policy, not something personal. If 99% of the population is against interest, the country should have policies that reflect that.
Yeah - the state will be 'favouring' the religious lot because the overwhelming majority is religious. But it would also make sure...
Sure, yeah, you're right. I know very well the process of gathering and authenticating Hadith, and people like Imam Bukhari were definitely very careful and meticulous in their approach when they were compiling the hadith.
We must be equally careful when interpreting them.
Do you not agree...
Abu Rafi was a warmonger who tried to incite violence against the Muslims and tried to rally several tribes against the Prophet.
"Abu Rafi` used to hurt Allah’s Messenger and help his enemies against him ..."
(Sahih al-Bukhari volume 5, Book 59, Hadith 371)
I've already told you about Ka'ab...
Murder and Blasphemy were considered same by everyone? Who? Where? When?
Please go read the verses from the Qur'an I posted and tell me why you keep denying them.
Really? So you're saying Rasool (s.a.w) was fine with attempted murder but poetry is too far?
Did you read that article I referred to? Here it is again, with important parts highlighted:
Qur'an says 'forgive them' and 'be patient'. The laws say 'kill them'. How is that not a contradiction?
The law is totally un-Islamic and is not in the constitution.
It is in the penal code and based on British Imperial law.
Yes, but laws found outside the Qur'an must not contradict the Qur'an. If the Qur'an says 'be patient' and 'forgive them', you can not use Hadith or other sources to develop...
Here's the English version of the first one;
Ka'ab bin al-Ashraf was killed for trying to murder the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) and for trying to raise armed opposition to the Muslims in wartime, which is treason. Blasphemy was not his only crime.
Similarly, Abu Rafi was responsible for rallying...
Right - what was his name? Where is it mentioned? Is it in the Qur'an?
If it's not in the Qur'an, we can't use that one incident to derive legal rules when there are dozens upon dozens of incidents where blasphemers were forgiven.
Why is this one incident more important than all the other...
One of the F-22P Zulfiqar-Class frigates was made in Pakistan, KSEW. It's not much, but it's a start, the F-22Ps are decent boats.
We'll need to look at developing larger ships with modern equipment in the future, Destroyers at least are necessary for a well-equipped navy. Nothing wrong with...
Surely the point of re-polling was that more people would come to vote than the first time.
It's almost as if the Kashmiris don't trust Indian security forces...
The re-polling was completely incident free and still no one came to vote.

All the soldiers deployed in Nagaland and Assam would like to have a word with you.
Yeah, that's pretty obvious.
Why officially hide behind Secularism then? To get approval from the West?
I said militant groups. As in, "Islamic fundamentalist" militant groups. What do you think happens when you kill people's families?
Get your head out of your backside and look at what you're advocating for. RSS is effectively a Hindu extremist militant group. This kind of thinking will rip...
Assange never actually said that, it's a lie.

And Modi has actually been leaning very much towards aligning India with the US, much to Putin's dismay.
For Indians;
So, genocide. You want to genocide the Kashmiris. Because that's what it's called when you start dropping MOABs on civilian populations.
You know, that's a great way to make sure more and more people join militant groups.
All those examples are of people who were responsible for many other crimes except blasphemy, including attempting to kill and attack Muslims. All the other blasphemers were spared.
If blasphemy was punishable by death; what about the bedouin who urinated infront of the Prophet, what about the...
True, but that is very difficult to explain to people on the internet without triggering a flamewar and an assault by the Internet Atheist Brigade
No, not really. The idea isn't that "everyone gets paid equally". That is one of those misconceptions about Communism.
Let me explain: in...
