“Blasphemy”
A court in Pakistan has sentenced a woman to death over allegedly blasphemous messages sent over WhatsApp and Facebook.
Aneeqa Ateeq, 26, was found guilty and given a death sentence by a court in Rawalpindi on Wednesday after a complaint was registered against her under Pakistan’s draconian cybercrime and blasphemy laws
Why not just let Allah deal with the problem? Why not concentrate on being good people themselves instead of handing out death sentences for private chats?
Pakistan is an Islamic state and has some of the harshest blasphemy laws in the world, regularly handing down death sentences. In practice executions are not carried out and the accused spend their lives in jail.
Pakistan is an Islamist theocracy, and it’s a pit of hatred and revenge.
The issue of blasphemy remains highly sensitive in Pakistan. Last month a Sri Lankan national working in a factory in Pakistan was beaten to death and his body was set alight by a mob of hundreds of people after he was accused of committing blasphemy by removing religious posters from the factory walls.
A pit of hatred and revenge.
Please..! It is the religion of peace.!

They think their gods are so weak that they can’t handle any sort of disparagement, not even the slightest squeak. Allah the merciful, Jehovah who loves the little children, you know them. They must be protected lest they fall down, crumbled by the tiniest doubt.
Mike:
Allah/Jehovah is trans?
(At least that would explain what happened to the Goddess)

I remember telling my mother as a teen that it seems like the gods are all just basically humans with superpowers, They have all the faults of humans, but more intense. Jealousy, neediness, demanding, capricious, and their love all seems contingent on our behavior towards them. (Not towards each other, but towards them)
I was thinking of the gods of the Roman, Greek, and Norse Mythology, but she thought I was referring to the monotheistic god as well. And she surprised me by agreeing with me. She was always religious as a Lutheran (with a Catholic interval due to marrying dad and agreeing to raise us as Catholitcs,) but she recognized the nature of gods in that they reflect the values of the humans who describe them. I said create, but she said we describe god in human ways because we don’t have the capacity to understand the true nature of God.
They should rename men’s prisons women’s prisons, that’s the low budget fix. :P
Oops wrong thread. ???
Michael @ 2, well we do tend to create gods in our own image. Oh, I see your post at 5. Yes, very much the case, because O course if you’re a believer, then god must be just like you surely – not the other guy?
And what’s more, Pakistan is hoping to ‘work with’ Facebook to better track down and execute blasphemers.
I have little doubt that Facebook will be only too happy to comply.
