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.
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Well said. The blasphemy law IS blasphemy itself.
