Re: [mukto-mona] Pakistan asks Facebook to help fight blasphemy? Can it? Would it?



Blasphemy Laws are bogus laws concocted by the British Colonizers.  There is not much support for the harhness of the law in the Qur'an or other Islamic scripture.

When do the laws date from?

The offences relating to religion were first codified by India's British rulers in 1860, and were expanded in 1927. Pakistan inherited these laws when it came into existence after the partition of India in 1947.


Between 1980 and 1986, a number of clauses were added to the laws by the military government of General Zia-ul Haq. He wanted to "Islamicise" them and also legally to separate the Ahmadi community, declared non-Muslim in 1973, from the main body of Pakistan's overwhelmingly Muslim population.

It sounds like a child's tantrum. Respect should be earned and not to be imposed onto others. That does not work.
