Can you imagine anyone accepting religious law death penalties in the civilized world? For instance say if you could be murdered for leaving the Southern Baptists?
KARACHI/ISLAMABAD, Sept 16 (Reuters) - A crowd in Pakistan ransacked a school and Hindu temple after a Hindu principal was accused of blasphemy, police said on Monday, the latest case to raise concern about the fate of religious minorities in the predominantly Muslim country. ...The principal had been taken into protective custody and police were investigating both the alleged blasphemy and the rioters, he added. "It seems the principal had not done anything intentionally," the district police chief, Furrukh Ali, told Reuters. Insulting Islam's Prophet Mohammad carries a mandatory death penalty in Pakistan, which is about 95 percent Muslim and has among the harshest blasphemy laws in the world.Blasphemy laws? How quaint.
