Re: [mukto-mona] Fw: Demand for the Blasphemy Law



Looks like the president of the UNO is trying to appease SA, Iran, Pakistan, and other countries which have blasphemy law. It is pretty scary. Are we going back to the dark ages?

Dear Mr.  Jiten and others,

My best regards. Human logic differs. I sincerely feel that attack on religious personalities ( particularly on Prophets or founders of all religion) create turmoil and this should be handled by a law stipulating deterrent punishment's far as I know there is blasphemy law in some form in some western countries. Even our penal code does not allow insulting religion or their Prophets or founders. Only thing is punishment is low and it is not applied. I only propose that punishment should be stern and in such cases government should file case as they do in case of murder.

Subject: [mukto-mona] Fw: Demand for the Blasphemy Law

 

 

When I hear demand for a law to protect the integrity of the God (or His messenger) from highly educated people, like Mr. S. A. Hannan, I keep wondering where their logical thinking abilities are. Don't they understand that, by asking for such a law, they are, in fact, questioning the almightiness of the God? This is not such a complicated logic. Is it?

 

If it comes from an uneducated religious person, I could understand but, mere fact that, such thought can emanate from highly educated people also - really puzzles me.   

 

In my view – there is only one reason for the Blasphemy Law, and that is to block all criticisms of the subject. You do so when you are not confident about the integrity of the subject, and you are afraid that it will not withstand criticisms. If your faith is genuine, it should withstand all criticisms. Where am I going wrong?
