Seems more to me that you are not ok with the blasphemy law. It doesnt matter if ones ok with something or not, a law is a law, and until the blasphemy law is there, it should be respected. If we dont agree with it, we can have it repealed by garnishing enough support. Until that time, the law needs to be respected. Everyone knows the law doesnt allow ppl to insult the Prophet pbuh in Pakistan, failing to do so is breaking the law.
Consider this part of 'garnishing enough support'.
Not only do I have an issue with the blasphemy law, in this case I also have an issue with how it was applied, and the individuals involved in getting the authorities to apply it.
There is a difference between wrong and illegal. I have nowhere argued that what Abbasi/the news did was illegal. It was morally questionable.
As for laws needing to be respected merely because it is law, not really. For example, if a dictator, as in recent memory, imposed laws restricting media, was the action of various journalists in resisting and condemning such laws wrong?
A Muslim cannot be blasphemous to any Prophet. Otherwise if he commits other crime, he should be tried as well.
That is not the question i asked.
