'Facebook blasphemer' given death penalty
June 12, 2017 at 12:18 pm
A man accused of posting blasphemous content to Facebook has been sentenced to death by a court in Pakistan.

Taimoor Raza was convicted after allegedly posting remarks about the Prophet Muhammad, his wives and companions within the site's comments.
The public prosecutor involved said he believed it was the first time the death penalty had been awarded in a case related to social media.
Human rights campaigners have expressed concern.
Facebook itself has yet to comment on the case.

If Muhammad doesn't like it let him complain!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Quote:Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has described blasphemy as being an "unpardonable offence".

Against..?

Like I say, this pathetic abrahamic god - like all gods - is the least powerful thing in the Universe. It can't even take offence by itself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I fear Pakistan is more of a hell hole than we can imagine . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No surprises from a shit hole like Pakistan.

When I read this in the news I came very close to sending a really blasphemous email to the Pakistan embassy

I'm going to see if I can VPN to a Pakistan server, create a fb account and unleash hell on their god also.
Baby steps first.... I'll test the waters by saying their god has a big nose and take it from there.

Good point.  Why do people have to think and act for a deity? If a man is to be religiously judged, then why not allow him to be judged by his deity?

blasphemy laws
a law to protect the magical sky daddy because he/she/it doesn't have the power to protect itself from harmful words....
abrahamic religions are a fucking cult...

Part of being in the "club" means you have divine authority to speak on behalf of your subscribed cosmic fairy about any matters which you God is not happy about. Doh! Bow Down
