Blasphemy law is a law that punishes blasphemy agaisnt Prophets by the penalty of death. The concept of capital punishment is present in islam.I find that death penalty was endorsed by islamic jurisprudence under Khalifa’s time.I dare say they knew islam way better than today’s burgers.

I donot wish to persecute the minorities. If there is a way that courts are intimidated and the law is exploited to settle scores than govt should work in those quarters rather than condemning the law. people of pakistan need to find out whether the law is islamic or not. i have so far find out that the background of law to form an educated opinion. toting slogans is counter productive.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Ataturk’s Turkey never existed at all.. Recently Turkish govt has eased the Scarf ban and have allowed the students to study in Universities.

Is it not Irony that Pseudo Liberals like you don’t get tired to cuss Talibans to ban Women education in Afghanistan while don’t give a damn that “Women” in turkey are not allowed to study just because they wear scarf.

Long live secular radicalism and extremism.
