What were those COMPLEXITIES which he wasn't able to understand? the barbarism that our Mullahs possess? to Kill whoever talks about the beliefs.
He, like most Western wannabes in Pakistan, failed to understand that Pakistan is a conservative country and that people have the right to have their core sensibilities respected. This is not a 'mullah barbarism'; this is an accepted norm around the world, including western countries. Most countries have laws against racial or religious vilification and hate speech. In part of western Europe, it is a criminal offence to question, let alone mock, the Holocaust.
The blasphemy law can be brought in line with similar legislation across the world -- including the West -- by careful amendments. Sherri Rehman and others proposed such amendments. If the law were amended as suggested and the word 'blasphemy' replaced with the more modern phrase 'religious vilification', everybody would be happy, including the secularists.
