Re: On Shahadat and the correct implementation of blasphemy laws in Pakistan
I have not been arguing that there should be a law for blasphemy in Pakistan or not, I’m saying if there is going to be one then it should be done this way or not at all. To answer the question about such countries and an alleged slippery slope the point is not that there is necessarily going to be one.
Causing fitnah for a society does not necessarily mean or translate to masses of people losing faith, but it could affect a few people. The point is about the fitnah itself not the measurable affects of the fitnah and certainly not about the blasphemy itself … purely the ‘fitnah creating’ is what deserves punishment. - In the Qur’an “fitnah is worse than murder”. " Wal fitnahtu akbaru minal Qatli " - 2:217
