That is such a stupid decision.
Pakistan’s supreme court last week ordered a police inquiry into a complaint from a businessman against Ms. Rehman for comments she made in 2010 as a member of the Pakistani parliament. Ms. Rehman
what? Charged with blasphemy for recommending changes in existing blasphemy law? Even more shocking is the fact that courts are entertaining such petitions...
I second that! This law is seriously being abused to shut people up and threaten them. This really is getting out of hand now!
Recently a person in Karachi a muslim person is sentenced to jail for blasphemy. Media never high lights it.
Sir i am in agreement, that this law is being abused. The reason the media won't highlight the muslim victims of this law is simply there is little or no masala! It's really that simple, two things make headlines, dhamaka and sex, obviously the dhamakadar the news the more likely the news agency breaking the news will get syndication from foreign press or the reporter might get a better assignment.
It's a **** world we live in.
Pakistan Throws Out Blasphemy Case Against Christian Girl
Pakistan's Supreme Court has dismissed a final attempt to reopen a blasphemy case against a mentally challenged Christian teenager, Christian rights activists confirmed Wednesday, January 16.
Tables turned when her accuser, an imam, was himself detained on charges of blasphemy, which can carry the death sentence.
Fck a blasphemy law and anybody that love it.
I second that! This law is seriously being abused to shut people up and threaten them. This really is getting out of hand now!
The problem is not with the law in its entirety, which should not be completely done away with. Rather, the problem is with the lack of requirement of intent in charging a person of blasphemy, specifically when the act involves the defaming of Prophet Muhammad.
Otherwise, in rest of the sections, A & B, there has to be a proof of malicious intent.
Pakistani is a democratic Islamic state and in democracies, majority rules. People there should have the freedom to live the way they want to. If they want to live with strict codes formed at the dawn of Islam and want to include the blasphemy laws to protect their sensitivities, then they have all the right to have that law.
Besides, the number of people criticizing such blasphemic acts and participating in mass protests against blasphemers clearly shows that that is what the people want.
Should never do away with what people want in place at all times.
I think we should learn to differentiate the 'law' from its 'abuse' part & then debate objectively !
so far illiterate people were misusing blasphemy law to settle personal scores. now judiciary seems to be misusing it to settle political scores.
Agree sir, but the abuse has now reached historic proportions. These are only the cases that make the mainstream media.
