This law has been around for a long time. Countries like Saudi Arab, UAE, Pakistan, Afganistan and many other muslim countries have this to punish people who insults the religion, specially Prophet Muhammed SAW. This law is definitely according to the laws of Shar'ia. Its not a man made law. But this is not the topic today. The topic today is that with time, things change. Everything; sp. religion, should be flexible enough to offer the best of it for the current time. Times have changed. The western dominance has infected our heads.
And as this law is a current big issue for Pakistan, I think there should be some way to deal with it, without dividing the country in halves. One possible solution that I present today is one that is implemented in UAE. The punishment for a muslim blasphemer is death as ordered by the shar'ia. But in case of minorities, as they are the ones getting accused of blasphemy more than anyone, the law is modified a bit. Just to protect the minorities and their rights, the law states that if its a non-muslim blasphemer, the court judge will decide the punishment after hearing both the sides. Its judge's responsibility to make the best decision.
Why death for a muslim blasphemer, you ask? Because they understood and believed and then they turned away. They are the worst type. Worst than the ones who never believed. Now I know why there's death penalty for a murtad. But lets not drag that into our discussion.
Why 'run-time' chosen punishment for non-muslim blasphemer? Because they are non-believer. People who'd not care about who GOD in Islam is or who the Prophet is. But they will be punished because no one has the right to attack any religion. I repeat, no one has the right to attack "any" religion. There should be such punishment of this level for those who insult other religions that are in Pakistan. Not death penalty. But judge's decision.
Please avoid attacks on Islam. It was, it is and it always will be a religion of peace. Rules and laws that might seem cruel to us are a must for a society. Without it, the bad of the society will turn the society upside down. And other rules that seem barbaric or whatever, aren't actually that way. Its just that we dont actually get it fully. We dont actually understand it completely. So once again. Islam is a religion of peace.
