Pakistani blasphemy laws should be repealed
23 September 2009
This is a pertinent post on my blog-zine Pak Tea House. Readers should take a closer look.
It is therefore quite clear that what is purported to be some sort of a defence against blasphemy has become a vehicle of oppression and persecution of minorities in Pakistan. These laws are the most draconian in the world and have no justification even in Islamic jurisprudence. It is time- as one Pakistani MNA said- to repeal them for they have done more harm to Pakistan, Islam and humanity then good. Indeed they haven’t done any good but have only reinforced negative stereotypes about Islam
