We’re much more civilized in the West. Here, those who are perceived as having insulted Islam don’t get sentenced to death. They just get fired from their jobs.
“Court sentences five to death for ‘online blasphemy,’” AFP, March 26, 2025:
ISLAMABAD: A court has sentenced five men to death for posting blasphemous content online, a prosecution lawyer told AFP on Wednesday, as the country witnesses a sharp increase in such cases….
“All five accused were sentenced to death for spreading blasphemous content against the holy Prophet (PBUH),” a lawyer from the Legal Commission on Blasphemy Pakistan, a private group which brought the case to court, told AFP.

I assume that, when they describe Mohammed as the “holy” prophet, they mean that they believe God to have been the source of his teachings, rather than that his life was holy (which would require a fairly total inversion of moral values)?

Apologies for not including this in last comment – any chance that Mr Trump could tell them that there will be no more Foreign Aid till they repeal the blasphemy law and pardon those convicted under it?

Over the past 20 years, the US has provided over $32 billion in direct aid to Pakistan. What madness is this?

Coming to a community near you. Thanks to the migration invasion of Muslims/Islam into our western countries just so someone in government can get richer.

Britain is only a few steps behind this and heading in the same direction.
