France: Appeals court upholds acquittal of man who burned Qur’an
I do not support the burning of books. Still, there is absolutely no doubt that if Ernesto Rojas Abbate had burned a Bible, he never would have been arrested or prosecuted. It is a good thing that he was acquitted, but he never should have been arrested or tried in the first place. The specter […]

Pakistan: Judge who issued death sentence for assassin of governor who criticized blasphemy law forced to flee the country with his family

Libyan woman: “It’s shocking and insulting … that the priority of the new leadership is to allow men to marry in secret”
