Imran should walk his talk and scrap the blasphemy laws. poor Christian nurse must get justice and people who attacked her should be put behind bars
Alright. At least Imran khan should scrap Blasphemy laws immediately. Minorities will never feel secure with such laws in place.
This is pretty rudimentary demand that seems like coming from a third grader who has no idea about the situation at hands.
You’ve got 220 million people ready to kill you if you try to remove the blasphemy law.
This is how bad the nation has been turned into fanatics on this one particular issue.
And this situation primarily exists more potently in Pakistan than any other Muslim country in the world.
(India is catching up with us very quickly with their version; when someone is accused in the slightest of ways to express any sentiment that “hurts” the feelings of Hindus’.
Their situation is as ironic as ours. On one hand they eat anything from rats to beef, and on the other hand they publicly lynch folks who are accused of cow slaughter).
The entire county could be set on fire if ANYONE removes the blasphemy law in Pakistan.
And then, you will be kidding with yourself even more if you think that removal of blasphemy law will change an iota worth of thing. Yeah right!
Folks will remain blood thirsty on this particular issue whether the law exists or not. This is bitter and sad reality that depicts the ground facts.
You think Mumtaz Qadri didn’t know that he will be hanged when he took away the life of Salman Taseer?
IMO, the blasphemy law should remain in place as it does have a very strong emotional connection with 220 million people in a supposedly democratic form of govt; however what needs to be done are two things which are intertwined.
First, as Capt Rishwat stated above. We need to introduce, and strictly impose, quite a harsh law against those who falsely accuse anyone of blasphemy.
Second, our religious scholars at every level should start giving the right Islamic message to the public as how to react to blasphemy UNDER ISLAMIC GUIDANCE AND AS PER SUNNAH.
And any cleric who encourages the public to violence against those who are accused of blasphemy, should be brought under the weight of law.
And how a Muslim should react to blasphemy as per Islamic guidance?
Here is the answer, which apparently not many clerics will preach in Pakistan.
