British man jailed for blasphemy in Pakistan...

Post by Xamonas Chegwé » Wed Dec 25, 2013 4:15 am

...and a huge conflict of interest on my part!

First of all, here's the news report. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25498545

Now, while I consider all religions to be equally bollocks, I deplore and despise the pseudo-legal attempts by a majority religious group to use anachronistic blasphemy laws to persecute another.

That's all well and good but... the guy's a fucking HOMEOPATH! Of course he should not be prosecuted for his use of "muslim" words when practising his religion. But he fucking well ought to be for calling himself a fucking DOCTOR!!1! :lay:

Do you see my dilemma? :tea:

Yeah. I don't have much sympathy in my sympathy organ left over for homeopaths.

Interesting law, though, using words like "bismillah" and other muslim politenesses would be 'blasphemy' if used by non muslims... are tourists supposed to be discourteous then?

Agreed. Drop the blasphemy charge and immolate him for fraud.
