Mr. Cocoanut 'Pat' cannot fathom what his being talked about when the subject is blasphemy. One would think that he would make a 2-paisa effort to add to his boiled brain knowledge on the subject.
Mr Cocoanut PAT should read (if he can) before he blames everyone for not being able to defend logically a subject that he has no comprehension of -- logical or illogical.<< Blasphemy is a highly sensitive and incendiary issue in Pakistan.Critics say blasphemy laws, which allow the death penalty in some cases, are often misused to oppress minorities.>>
It is a silly idea trying to "fight" blasphemy -- in fact, such a statement does not make sense. Any old thing can be imagined to be "blasphemous' now in Pakistan in order to start a religious riot.
It is a fact of history that blasphemy was a punishable law in Christianity, and not in Islam. No amount of Cocoanut giri on Mr. 'Pat's part can change that history.
Does Cocoanut Mr.Pat know why blasphemy laws are difficult to implement and the Pakistani judiciary is torn about it, with a valiant man, Gov. Taseer ( a nephew of the great poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz) already murdered brutally trying to abolish it?

Subject: Re: [mukto-mona] Pakistan asks Facebook to help fight blasphemy? Can it? Would it?Why do you need to fight Blasphemy?
You fight Blasphemy because you can't logically defend it. So, you try to prevent Blasphemy by law, by force, by terrorizing and killing violators. Still, you can't do it. So, you are seeking help from Facebook. That's a sign of desperation to strangle free speech.
Facebook usually boosts free speech, but, who knows its liberal admin could abandon free speech mantra and join your fight against blasphemy.
Do you know why it is so hard to stop blasphemy? It's because, free speech is a devine intrinsic right of the human being. It comes from God. Obviously, you claim to have a different God.
