Pakistan should punish Mumtaz Qadri; blasphemy law should stay: Pervez Musharraf

[Ahmad]

O cleric, we are more sober than you,
even when drunk, we are more attentive than you,
You drink the blood of men, we drink the blood of grapes [wine],
Be fair, which one of us is more bloodthirsty?

-Omar Khayyum

no wonder why the Mullahs called Great Omar Khayam and Sina Balkhi as kafir.

 

[SekrutYakhni]

Wtf? Mullis? hahahaha

I like to call them mullis. Most of them...

Christianity says not to curse God. But we have no civil or societal law that punishes those fools who do so.

As a Christian outsider who lived and worked in Pakistan 1963-1965 and have Muslim friends to this day here in the US who came directly from Pakistan in recent years as new US Immigrants...I observe that it is wrong and disrespectful to all other religions parcticed inside Pakistan to dare to have a "law" which would seek to impose one faith's beliefs, Islam, on those who are not Muslims there.

Further, I likewise think such a blasphemy law is merely a tool for radical religious folks, be they mullahs or politicians, to seek to punsih and threaten those who do not support them.

Pakistan needs real democracy, which includes protected freedom of all religions, as was provided for in the original 1950 Pakistan Constitution.

The turn toward radical Islam in the 1970s and since is absolutely wrong! It is the ruination of Pakistan, and for that matter, of Afghanistan.

Shame on the cowards who would use and hide behind the blasphemy law. Islam means peace. Our Jesus Christ stood for peace as the propiation for all mankinds sins, as our Savior, as the son of our in common God on high.

There is no concept of real democracy without transparency and present govt. is doing every thing in secrecy. This includes the transit aid to India.

On second note if referendum is not considered democracy than US is also not a democracy and if local bodies govt. is not considered as democracy than Switzerland is also not democracy.
The point here is we have to choose a system which suits us not some thing which suits India.
Zardari bullied his way into Presidentship and he has adopted same ideology to rule ever since.
Target killing, bombings, ruining economy, institutions, implanting corruption and divide are some of few high lights of his rule.

Blasphemy law existed UK till very recently. Only difference: no lynchmob baying for the offender's blood.

High time society becomes more mature in handling criticism of religion. And at least govt should not be involved in protecting a particular religion from criticism.

 

[BATMAN]

Same lynchmob was awarded by India and US for staging agitation against Musharraf's govt.
Today, same lynch mob lawyers are being criticized?????

Every one knows till very recently PPP minister was distributing money among lawyers who now are showing their loyalty.
If i'm not wrong blasphemy law is legacy of Bhutto which PPP cherish with great enthusiasm.

I wonder why the RAW's king pins like.. Aitizaz Ahsan and Asma Jehangir are quite?

Were they waiting for Musharraf to take lead as ususal????

 

[Karachiite]

Was Muhammad a god or prophet? People in Pakistan treat him as a god. I'm sorry to say but he was a human like most of us.
Musharraf is an idiot by supporting the blasphemy law.

Go IMRAN KHAN!

What is imran khan's position with regards to blasphemy law?

 

[JanjaWeed]

What is imran khan's position with regards to blasphemy law?

same as everyone else by whatever i have heard him say so far in the public. sit on the fence.. no one wants to bell the cat!

 

[BATMAN]

What is imran khan's position with regards to blasphemy law?

He does not represent lawyer neither he is the architect of the said law.

 

[ajtr]

Mard bann Musharraf... This law has to be repealed.

Mushy tried to make amend in blasphemy law but has to backtrack under intense pressure.Now mushy is is a politician not a general anymore hence he has to behave like politician.otherwise some mullah will pass fatwa on him declaring him as wajib-ul-qatal like sherry rehman.So mushy is playing safe like any other politician of pakistan on the issue of blasphemy law.

Ever since Mr.Bush called WoT a "Crusade", thanks to him more Muslims in Pakistan and throughout the Muslim world view this war as a "crusade"!

Thanks Mr.Bush, you did hell of a good job in increasing extremism rather than eradicating it

 

[Majnun]

Musharraf has changed his position on many matters very dramatically since joining politics.

 

[Ahmad]

He does not represent lawyer neither he is the architect of the said law.

it is obviouse that he is not the architect of this law, but what is his position publicly about it?

 

[Majnun]

Imran Khan is the only politician I know who is against the law right now.
