Re: isnt this blatant blasphemy by a molvi?
What was Islamic Golden Age? Islamic Golden Age was a period characterised by critical thinking, discussions, debates, theories and ideas which all led to great inventions, development and reforms. Why we in the Muslim world are so suddenly so against having great debates? Maybe Salman Taseer didn’t really consider the sensitivities of the topic, but wouldn’t it have been better if whatever he said resulted in an open discourse instead of him getting killed?
I am a deeply flawed human being, and probably a very bad Muslim too, but when I fast, you can put me in a room full of delicious food and have people eating it in front of me and chances are I won’t feel a thing, I’d continue to maintain my fast without any difficulty. That’s normally the fasting strength of all adult Muslims. When our roza can be this strong and does not get affected by gastronomic displays and desires around us (food is a basic human need, remember) then how can our reverence for Prophet or Prophet’s status feel threatened if someone offers a differing debate on the blasphemy law?
