It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out she indeed broke blasphemy laws, and I find it even more interesting how members on this forum are using this opportunity to further their cynical agendas and distort while offering solutions that would only hinder the progress and preparations Pakistan MUST make.
Again the simple-minded Muslim majority in Pakistan have fallen to the trap set against them. They look like uncontrollable animals, Hindu mob-like, with no strategic capacity to see the bigger picture.
These easily swayed conservative Muslim groups need a stern talking to, and re-education on what their limitations in society should be, by our protectors. There should be arrests made over the next few weeks on those who committed violent protests and be televised nationally, essentially showing Pakistan’s strong governance and order from law.
That lady should be left alone who has paid for her crime already by spending many years facing four walls.
The blasphemy law needs to be changed to prison terms only, (a 4/6 year punishment will suffice and deter any public orientated blasphemers).
More importantly, for future reference, the burden of proof should be on the individual or group (s) who claim blasphemy against an individual or group (s). This will (1) dramatically reduce the number of fake accusations against innocent parties (2) force the blasphemer (S) to limit their hate by only spewing it in private.
Over time those that become tired of hating in private will eventually propagate it in public. Subsequently, the system will take its course and punish when and where required.
Incidentally, those of you on this forum that have been advocating the murder of mass conservative Muslims in Pakistan over violently protesting are no better.
The blasphemy law MUST be amended, which will stabilise civil unrest and reduce the chances of a potential surge in mob violence while reducing pressure on the legal industry, amongst other benefits.
I don’t feel our prophet will be hurt if someone wants to insult him privately.
Ultimately this is a small issue that needs quick fixing. The country needs stability to focus on FDI opportunities and to be ready for real challenges, which are around the corner.
