Re: Blasphemy - Christian couple killed and burnt
captian i never said that the law allows public to kill the blasphemy accuser…it does not
but…given that people have been misusing the law for a while (by blaming anyone for blasphemy and in most cases wrongfully to achieve their own petty benefits) why do we need this law? forget non muslims for a second, i know cases where a muslim accused another muslim opponent for blasphemy for personal reasons, produced few witnesses and ruined his life in courts
and i then made the second point that pak has 98% of muslim majority, so why would a tiny harassed minority ever commit blasphemy knowingly? therefore retrospectively speaking, do we really need this law? now if we had 30% of our population consisted of minority with many reported cases of blasphemy, i would have supported the law but not in a 98% muslim majority country.
last but not least, masses know that constitutionally a blasphemy accuser will be handed over the death sentence in the court as well … so once someone swear on quran and say that i heard this man or woman committing blasphemy, they in their minds are doing the justice right there. I dont think there were many cases of masses killing people for blasphemy at the spot before this law …so there is a strong correlation.
