Dumb Islamic Blasphemy Law has Christian Girl on Death Row, 2 Others in For Life

[CUG]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12169123

This was a father/son muslim duo who was arrested based on sectarian differences. Pretty bloody pathetic.

The pair were found guilty in Punjab province of tearing down a poster of a gathering to mark the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. They deny blasphemy.

A Christian leader said this was the first time a jail term had been handed down under the blasphemy law, which carries a mandatory death sentence.

A Christian woman is on death row for allegedly insulting Islam.

The conviction of the Muslim father and son on Tuesday was Pakistan's first under its blasphemy law since last week's assassination of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, who had backed proposed reforms to the legislation.

I know I said I wouldn't. My bad.

8| <--- Mohammed. Come and get me.

Do you guys really even give a shit if someone draws a picture of Mohammed, or says something mean about religion? Most I've met don't seem like they'd even give a shit at all.

Desi112 is actually Sikh. Well, I am basing that on his username.

As for Muslims I know, myself included. No, I personally do not care if someone draws a picture of Prophet Muhammad. (That statement can and probably will get me into some trouble with a few Muslims on beyond.) For me it is all about conxtext.

I mean I crack Jesus jokes on the regular. How can I not expect someone to do the same about the Prophet??...

Is Prophet Muhammad "holier" than Jesus??...Sure he is if you believe that. But if you don't then he is just the last Prohpet to over 1 billion Muslims around the world. Yes I do hold the Prophet in very high regard for what he represents to Islam and to myself. But for anyone who is not a part of the Islamic Faith, can I really expect the same??....I don't think that is fair.

If this kinda stuff keeps happening the pope is going to call for a good old fashioned crusade Religion isn't the problem it's the people that practice it. If these fucked up people didn't have religion they would just find some other means to justify their idiotic behavior.

Just remember...During the Crusades the Muslims kicked some mean ass...haha...Like DJ Khaled..."We takin' over"...haha...

But Benjamin Franklin said "If man is so wicked with religion, what would they be without it??"...

Naw, there's nothing in Pakistan worth Crusading over.

I'm not condoning the "book", but if you took the book away tomorrow do you think all this shit would all of a sudden stop? I don't think it would. These third world animals would keep acting the same way for some other cause. Don't forget the brutal actions of the Catholic church during the dark ages. These people in the middle east are still stuck in those times where you can murder with no consequences. Sorta like the witch hunts except now it's the christian hunts.

Agreed. I think the blasphemy law is complete bullshit, and the fundamentalist just need an angle to preach ignorance. Its funny that these clerics are never arrested on blasphemy charges, despite what they are doing is far worse than stomping on a poster. What needs to be realized is that whatever the third world animals are doing, the 'first' world animals are just doing the same in a smoke and mirror fashion. It can also be argued that the US is murdering across the world on a daily basis with no consequence. It is true that the one in power need not answer anyone because they are in power, but just because they justify it with a veil of ignorance does not make them any less barbaric than the third world animals.

I'm not muslim, as EK said i'm from a Sikh familly. (i'm your friend jazzyb)

But if muslims consider it an insult to have their prophets picture drawn I would respect that, much like I my attemp to not use "gods name in vain" infront of my orthodox catholic friends. Its called respect, humans need to convey it for each other.

So it's kind of like talking about Santa not being real in front of a 5 year old?
