Pakistan’s blasphemy law is the occasion of massive human rights abuses. It is routinely used to victimize innocent people. Those who are not convicted are often lynched. But the world yawns: no “Islamophobia” is being committed, so what’s the big deal?
“Eleven Christians Including A Pastor Accused Of Blasphemy In Islamabad,” Christians in Pakistan, December 22, 2014:
According to details, eleven Christians all resident of the Capital. These eleven include a pastor who have been allegedly accused of committing blasphemy by a women namely Naseem Bibi. As witnesses reveal the accuser Naseem Bibi has made these allegation based over a personal dispute. Naseem Bibi formerly a Christian converted to Islam 20 years back and married a Muslim man. She was reportedly denounced by local Christians and in reaction she heaved blasphemy allegations over these eleven Christians.
The complainant Naseem Bibi has told the police that Pastor Karamat Masih and 50 other Christians stormed into her home, harassed and threatened her. The police had hooked four of the accused Christians who are now in police custody.
Pakistani Christians activist and lawyer Sardar Mushtaq Gill reported to Fides saying, “There are always more and more frequent cases where the blasphemy law is used to target religious minorities or to settle cases of disputes and private rivalries, or simply as an instrument of blackmail. The State must arrest and condemn those who formula false accusations”.

Naseem?? Is it possible? Probably not. For anyone who does not know what I’m talking about Naseem posted here a lot in the past and was a lot of fun. But it’s probably not the same Naseem…

Blasphemy, insulting Islam adn Mo/allah are the standard pretexts(among many others) of Muslims to kill non-Muslims!! Disgusting!!! No morality, nothing good in this cult – it is totally evil, evil, evil….

This blasphemy law is hardly the right one for a region where so many religions compete in the context of a thousand years of bloodshed. Pakistan’s easily manipulated blasphemy is used to settle scores. Lawyers must realize that.
Jay Boo says
Every Muslim has blood on his or her hands for this horror.

…I’ll say it again:
“I think you are an evil person, Eddie. You would make a great convert to Islam, if you’re not already one, that is.”

Christianity is still a benefit to society. Those horrible teachings like the ten commandments and love thy neighbor, are so horrible and hateful. I don’t understand why militant atheists like you hate Christianity so much. I’m agnostic myself, but I still respect the ideology and teachings of Christ, and understand Christianity is part of the foundation of western civilization whether you like it or not. As beliefs go Christianity whether it is true or not is a belief that inspires people to do good and be generous. As I said yesterday Christianity is a benefit to society, and things like the ten commandments help keep humanity’s dark impulses in check, unlike islam which does the opposite.

And yet we still throw millions in aid money at them. A country where nobody bothers to pay any tax. Crimes against Christians have mainly gone unreported. Even more despicable is the practice of keeping the jihadists details totally out of the press. In Sweden its an offence to name a rapists ethnicity. Show them you know, read A Consequence of Apathy by NR Baldwin out on Amazon. This is the one book European Government’s don’t want you to read., the truth is out there. Read it. Show them you know

The temptation is to think that could never happen here. Until one remembers Mark Steyn’s case. And Orianna Fallaci’s. And Geert Wilders’. With the vacuous dipshits from Harvard and Yale and Columbia on the Supreme Court, it could happen here.
