Thats what you think.But the way 295-B leaves the loophole in laws itself that anyone desecration according to his/her own understanding.so you never know even if i'm acquitted by courts there is no guarantee that i would be acquitted by the vigilant public and wont meet the end like that of salman taseer through some mumtaz qadiri and after my death some lawyers will be garlanding my killer outside court itself..295-B. Defiling, etc., of Holy Qur'an:
Whoever wilfully defiles, damages or desecrates a copy of the Holy Qur'an or of an extract therefrom or uses it in any derogatory manner or for any unlawful purpose shall be punishable with imprisonment for life
To be noted is 'wilfully' It seems the girl didn't do it wilfully as she is just a child, not mentally fit and was into the kind of job.
Infact those who throw pages of Noorani Qaida's in trash bin can be prosecuted according to the law. ( I don't think that you won't find any islamic pages in the any trash dumping yard)
While the Imam did it 'wilfully' so he can be prosecuted as per 295-B (life sentence) for desecrating an extract of Holy Quran and 505 ( 7 years) like to incite violence against any community
505 Statements conducing to public mischief:
(1) Whoever makes, publishes, or circulates any statement, rumour or report-
(c) with intent to incite, or which is likely to incite, any class or community of persons to commit any offence against any other class or community, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years and with fine

I don't think article 295 is about soft copies. And when you delete from your hard disk, it cannot be proven that you desecrated wilfully.
Sure you are obliged to respect the law of the land but when law becomes discriminatory then as a citizen its your duty to protest against the law and get it changed or removed.Like TADA became discriminatory law in india and vigilant citizen fought against it to get it removed.

how about the paranoid crowd eager to see Blasphemy in anything according to its own varying interpretation due to loophole in the law itself.
No. What i mean is law is discriminatory to everyone.Btw if you look at statistics more muslims were prosecuted under blasphemy law than the other religion people.What i really mean is that this law must go in its all entirety.
How can you explain more muslims were prosecuted under blasphemy law than minorities in pakistan then.
