Talking of religion....

[quote] ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) ? A Christian was sentenced to death for allegedly insulting Islam?s Prophet Muhammed, and a human rights activist Friday urged Pakistan?s president to spare his life.

Younis Masih, 29, was arrested in September 2005 on the outskirts of the eastern city of Lahore after residents told police he made derogatory remarks against Islam and Muhammad.

On Wednesday, a court sentenced Masih to death under Pakistan?s harsh blasphemy laws, which rights groups say have been misused against Christians since former President Gen. Zia ul-Haq enacted them in 1980s to win the support of hard-line religious groups.

Shahbaz Bhatti, who heads the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance? which groups together Christians, Hindus, Sikhs and Parsis, who follow Zoroastrianism ? said only President Gen. Pervez Musharraf could pardon Masih.

?I met with Younis Masih at a jail in Lahore, and he told me that he respects Islam and its prophet,? Bhatti said, adding Masih told him that dozens of Muslims thrashed him on Sept. 10, 2005, when he asked them not to sing loudly because his nephew had died, and his body was still lying at home.

?It was Younis Masih?s only mistake,? Bhatti said, adding that a group of Muslims began beating him and handed him over to police, which registered a case against him under blasphemy laws.

He said rights groups have been demanding the repeal of blasphemy laws, saying they were being abused by religious extremists to settle personal scores and religious enmity.

He said the legal battle against Masih?s conviction will continue, but ?it will take years, and during this period, Younis Masih?s fate would continue to hang in the balance.?

Pakistan is an Islamic state where non-Muslims comprise just 3 percent of the 160 million population. Anyone accused of insulting Islam, Muhammed or the Quran can be sentenced to death.[/quote]



So a man gets beaten half to death by a mob, and he's the one that goes to jail. Lovely.

I don't know whether to be angry, be fearful, or just cry.

You cannot argue with a Zealot, he or she is right, you are wrong and that is their narrow minded view of life. I recall a Jehovahs Witness very politely telling my father, a life long C of E and ex choirboy he was going to hell. My father's response was "I will see you there you bigot".

Are you an atheist, or anti-theistic?

I'm beginning to be more anti-theistic as time goes by.

School plays where they show young 7 year old girls playing the 72 virgins, that the 7 year old martyrs will enjoy upon ascending to heaven kinda helps me along if you know what I mean.

Retards.

Depending on what they look like...........and their age (virgins in the Islamic sense aren't usually 18) I'll give it a shot.

It might be the worst sexual experience ever, but I'll go into it with an open mind !wink! !laugh!
