Pakistan Blasphemy Case Plot Thickens

September 2, 2012 by 2 Comments

Ah – ha! The 11 year old did not burn the Koran. Does it Really Matter?

In an interesting twist of events, it looks like the Mullah who found the burned papers of the Koran in the 11 year old garbage bag – and called for her to be sentenced accordingly to the Pakistani law (which basically means she will be executed) might have planted those burned pages in the first place. This is an update on the Pakistan blasphemy case against a 11 year old Christian girl.

[sigh of relief]

Really? this is what we have gotten ourselves used to? We are so programmed to think that we need to respect the laws of a different country or culture that we follow them so tightly we need to hope that the victim would be found not guilty?, and guilty of what – if we might ask?.

Lets remember the charges here, an 11 year old Christian girl, who might be mentally challenged, had burned papers taken from the Koran in a garbage bag she was about to dump. How on earth would anyone expect this to be answered by a penalty of death?. How is the throwing away of a few papers concludes in death – or the threat of one? and why should we except it?

What is even worst is what is now discovered can shed a light on the state of mind of the Pakistani Mullahs, what we know as the medieval persecution of others for the sake of establishing a stronger religious hold on the population has reemerged in the present day, 2012, Pakistan. With Mullahs allegedly orchestrating “offenses” such as walking around with burned papers to remind the population that any diversion from the exact local version of Islam will end in death.

Pakistan seems to have gotten itself to a new low.

Athlete’s Foot Again? Jesus Christ!

The news from Pakistan is so ridiculous that we did not even know if to post this or not, however it looks like this is getting so much attnetion that someone needs to speak on behalf of the non believers.

Cutting to the chase, Pakistan wants to ban the use of certain “offensive” words from use on mobile phones, needlessly to say these are words someone in Pakistan finds offensive, because just the idea of not letting people speak particular words is so “1984” that even a stone age thinker might find himself seriously objecting to the idea, somehow this passes in Pakistan.

“Jesus Christ” made it to the list without effort, see, some in Pakistan believe that just saying those words is offensive. And one needs to imagine what would they do if tomorrow a couple of countries will declare Bambi as their god they will ban that word as well, flexing the boarder of their sensitivity to the boundaries of other nations imagination.

Why “Athlete’s foot” is offensive I do not know, it sure is offensive to someone sleeping in the same room/tent/car with a person with this condition, however once again we  remember the keen fondness of Muslims around the world to pass critical judgment on those who are simply born a certain way or are afflicted with a certain condition, even athlete feet.

Happy feet? Jesus Christ!
