If I would be Christian I would definately leave the town for some time, lynchmobs might be looking for retaliation. lol, you would think so but alot of the time, if not most of the time, they do get harmed. There are tons of similar cases on this site:http://britishpakistanichristian.blogspot.co.uk Some of the stories make me sick to be honest....well almost. | ||

These kind of newsposts just annoy the crap out of me because it's always turning out reactions like "let's hope the 17th century catches them up soon" and people feel morally superb while commenting on these subjects while it's very likely that it's overexaggerated because it's such a juicy topic. No. You don't need to be fully informed about this specific newspost to see the connection between a thousand previous newsposts where atrocities are committed in the name of religion. You should be pleased, not annoyed, the vast majority of people here are responding in a fashion that warms my heart and restores my faith in humanity. | ||

How would anyone even go about reforming or getting rid of crazy blasphemy laws? It would be pretty blasphemous wanting to get rid of blasphemy. | ||

Pakistan is a country that is governed by a Muslim Theocracy. That means that Muslim holy law, or Shariah law is the law that governs the country. It is not ruled by democracy, or "logical law," as some have said, but rather by what the authors of the Quran and Hadiths said centuries ago. A synopsis of what laws this includes is found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia but for those who don't want to read, some highlights include women being required to be veiled in public, the death penalty for blasphemy, and marriage ordinations. It is important to this case because as a Christian, this young lady and her family have already committed blasphemy by certain standards and come Islamic sects would have them executed for that alone. There is prejudice, in many cases, against Christians and other non-Muslims in these sorts of theocracies and simply seeing something with Arabic writing on it burned is enough to incite calls for death. It doesn't, and won't make sense to many of us in the Western world, but that is the logical path that their thinking entails...at least in part. | ||

So, you're saying news like this should just be discarded, because its intended as propaganda against islam, even though it happens with a regualar basis in certain places? And it doesnt happen all over the world? Give me examples of this happening in Japan, Denmark, australia, germany, USA, UK, etc.. Its only muslim nations. Things like this happens weekly in places like Pakistan and egypt. Islam has a pretty bad rep, and I doubt it will change any time soon. Sure, some are indeed "freak" cases, but lets face it. Islam is simply the exact opposite of the western world. | ||

There are Muslims in France, US, Africa, etc., and not all of them can be lumped up into an "uncivilized tribe" that you make them up to be. Stop being a bigot and generalizing. | ||

From "Pakistani's brutal laws" to "All muslims are retards"? Seriously?? If blind generalisation is what you call "civilisation", call me "uncivilised". | ||
