Every such incident is a nail in the coffin of religion based laws. No ifs ands or buts. Sometimes there are no two sides that are equivalent. One side is the only side that is correct. A truly secular government is the ONLY government that makes sense.

I would like to see senior posters such as above come out STRONGLY against religion based laws and FOR secular government. Enough is enough.

Mods pe itni bari zimedari .
I can understand what your’re saying. Oppressive laws which cause injury/harm to others for personal choices such as death penalty/imprisonment should be done away with regardless of origin.It’s going to take time and the process will be slow depending on society. It should happen though.

My friends say Pakistan pre 70s was as liberal if not more than India. Hippies used to come from Turkey, Iran to Pakistan than India. Even India has blasphemy laws like Pakistan but the Pakistani laws were made harsher in the 70s with opportunity for death penalty. There is enough social stigma against “undesired” behaviour. I don’t see why laws should play with people’s lives. Death penalty is a big thing and irreversible. I’d say secular laws in the West are probably best as everyone feels protected and no one feels hey are not protected by the gov.

PS. I see what you did there when you mention nervous 90s :PI’m only a junior member. Mujhe run out nahi hona before century. Don’t want to do a hit wicket.
