What Is The Law?


Another example of forgiveness and mercy brought to you by the religion of peace and tolerance:

From the Khaleej Times comes the story of a Pakastani Muslim accused of insulting Muhammad.

Blasphemy is against the law in Pakistan and is punishable by death. Although cases are not uncommon, the death sentence is never carried out because of "lack of evidence."

So two Muslims took it upon themselves to serve as judge, jury and executioner and set upon the man with knives while he was exiting the courtroom. The victim died after receiving 15 stab wounds in the chest and two police officials were also hurt while trying to protect him.

Police described the two assailants as "religious fanatics," of which there seems to be no shortage in the land of Pakistan. A Muslim cleric was killed by a mob last week after a rival "religious" group accused him of burning pages from the Koran.

The article ends by saying the Independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said the killing of the cleric illustrated how the blasphemy law was abused by people to settle personal and religious disputes.

"We've been demanding that the government change the law radically so people can't misuse it," said the commisssion head.

Do they really think that a law is going to dissuade these islamomaniacs from dealing out death to perceived blasphemers? Get real. These savages are driven by some primal rage and are addicted to the rush they get from the violence that ensues. To deal with them as rational, logical sentient creatures is absurd and potentially suicidal.
