Must be a poor kind of religion that gets upset about burning some paper
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:A mob has killed a man for allegedly burning pages of the Koran in central Pakistan, police say, in the latest case of blasphemy-related violence in the country.

Police say more than 80 people have been arrested in connection with the killing on Saturday in the district of Khanewal in Punjab province. Reports said the man was in police custody before a crowd snatched him.
His body was handed over to his family and a funeral held on Sunday.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said the case would be "dealt with the full severity of the law" and asked for a report on police officers accused of failing their duty to save the man.
His government, he said, had "zero tolerance for anyone taking the law into their own hands".

Partition was a bad idea IMO...maybe necessary in that time however.

It’ll be interesting to see how ‘dealt with the full severity of the law’ plays out, seeing as how Pakistan is a both a de jure Islamic state and a de facto military state.

Islam = men being afraid their wives will be polygamous, as they/those men are. Open case, shut case.

Lets not forget women and girls in Salem Mass were murdered by Christian assholes. And look at what our right wing is doing today, burning books and trying to get them banned.

There’s a difference. The Salem ‘witches’ were actually given trials, the great majority of which resulted in acquittals. Whereas killing blasphemers via mob violence is part and parcel of Islamic culture.
