Instances of intolerance and extremism alive and well can be found everywhere. Whats more important is a mutual respect for each others’ feelings and perspectives as nations and neighbouring countries. And on this, just as it looks like, unfortunately, we will never be on the same page, OR, if nothing much else, you people wont be favoring and appreciating the lady who is only vocalizing the same ideas which may please those who could never understand Islam as a religion of Peace and sanctity, and always remained biased, the ideas that hurt all the nation when expressed by our Governor and the ideas which unfortunately brought him to grave, with very little sympathy for that individual since however you all, and even the world laws and justice may call it wrong and extremism, we can never compromise on the honor of your religion and our last prophet Sal Allah O Aleh Wasalam.

Look at this thread only, aint all those paying salutes to the lady are only those who would themselves condemn and would never understand the logic of the law of blasphemy, the same people whose heroes are our villains and vice versa. So have the feelings, the mentality over the borders really changed even after the lapse of centuries? And we thought we have come out of that age of bias and prejudice!

Did the prophet himself go kill people who criticized islam and/or his personality? I know of a sahabi who killed a woman poet who used to incite hatred against muslims and the prophet, but people threw garbage at the prophet, the tale of taif is very well known, and even there is a story about a bedouin who came to the prophet and started arguing that you are a bad muslim. A sahabi rose up and said that let me kill this person who dares disrespect the prophet, but Prophet Muhammad himself stopped the sahabi and said that let the bedouin argue with me.

This matter is very ambiguous and has no clear cut answers like what your mullahs in Pakistan make it out to be. This is even more telling considering the fact that the woman who was put on trial may not even have had said any blasphemous thing in the first place, so Salman Taseer shouldn’t have been murdered for expressing his opinion about that.
