Couple gets death over 'blasphemous' SMS

[adamr]

Religion is the cause of this. And for any folk that now tries to say "No it's the country's crappy law system." Enlighten yourself please:

Remove religion and bamb no one was insulted not to mention death penalty sentencing because of some silly fantasy person.

I think not... its human nature... Creating any kind of difference... It might be football teams.... People will use this to have a reason to sentence you, kill you, mock you ... Maybe because you insulted the striker. Heck isn't that what happens every so often in the UK football league... Again humans are stupid ignorant fickle creatures... And by some here hating on me just proves my point

Hating on you? See, this is another religious sensitivity thing. We are discussing your religion, not you. Stop being so sensitive.

Are we not allowed to say that Nazis are/were bad? You know, Nazis get such a bad name. They may have gassed millions of people, but that was just the fundamentalists.

Yes all illegal murders.

Not death sentencing by a law system designed by religious cooks.

I don't think you understand the gravity this sentencing reflects on humanity. It's a proper example of complete ludicrousness that could have been completely avoided by the removal of fantasy based laws.

How can you build a law system based on stuff that has 0 evidence of it's existence?

100% correct. Those who can be lead to believe absurdities, can be lead to commit atrocities.

When the club Man United, start executing people because they support Liverpool then you have a point. Since that doesnt happen your point is mute. Yes, we know good people will do good things and bad people will do bad things with or without religion. However, religion is one of the few things that can make good people do evil things joyfully.

Well you're going to have to argue with the throngs of faithful who disagree with you. For now we live in the reality that bronze-aged myths are being taken very seriously and acted upon.

That and politics. The Ukraine shooting matches is a good example.

Could probably throw sport in there too. The Canucks riot in Vancouver after they lost, good people tearing the city to pieces.

I think humans just love to kill and destroy by nature, like locusts. Like the Joker said from batman said it very well "Madness is like gravity. Sometimes all one needs is a little push."

Every one of us has the potentional to go from cool, calm and collected, to bat**** mental with the drop of a hat, it's what humans are and no amount of denial, religion, politics or take the high road self ego massaging can change that. You are who you are and there's a very thin line seperating each of us from doing incredibly ghastly stuff for a cause we believe strongly enough in.

No, thats false equivalency logical fallacy.

Politics and religion are different. Your immortal soul is not on the line for eternity in politics.

That sounds more like a psychopath justifying his behaviour than what normal people do. If there is a "thin line" separating you from a bat **** crazy killing machine then you are a sick human. Most of us have very very thick lines there that require amazing amounts of pressure to change.

I feel like we need a Captain Hindsight meme.

If you didnt want people to think Islam is a violent religion, then you shouldnt kill women for honour, kill people for apostasy, kill people for being gay or lesbian, kill people for blasphemy or stone or imprison rape victims.

All of the above really.

I think politics usually don't inspire such loyalty, whereas religions always do.

Examples of politics inspiring fervour:
ANC supporters willing to stone DA supporters in the recent Real Jobs march.
Nazi soldiers doing terrible things when they were part of the system that worshipped the party with Hitler at its head.

Examples of religion inspiring fervour:
Too many to list!

What we really need to do is remove personality cults, which unfortunately include pretty much all religions and some political parties. The problem is that humans are just too willing to follow the herd.

Yeah, as pointed out, it is false equivalency.

And Islam is that same religion that advocates charity and uplifting society.... Quite ironic then... And it would be if things are taken out of context... Not for one moment do I condone people blowing themselves up in the name of religion or stoning someone to death... (why am I justifying myself) And you guys have gone off topic... This is about someone being sentenced to death for something really stupid that it appears out of the stone ages. Maybe someone here take the Qur'an and read it start to finish.... Then comment... Cause many comments are uninformed and wild Google exerts with no context ... And someone said that Islam is all about sexism... Mother mary is held in the highest levels of Islam.... There is talk of how one must ensure the safety of woman folk etc... But just wild statements highlights people's human nature... Isn't there some saying to this.... That people fight and wars happen because people don't understand each other.... Also an interesting side note is that the Internet reveals human nature true attitudes towards others.... More hate here than I would experience in real life.... Maybe some of you should consider befriending people outside of your cast, religion, colour.... You be surprised to find that humans tend to like and enjoy similar past times regardless of their cultures, colour or religions ...

Bottom line here is that, what was done here by Pakistan is wrong... And its not something Islam teaches ...

He didn't say it's all about sexism, just that there is sexism. You know, about womens' minds being deficient, them inherting half of what men do etc.

And are you saying Islam has nothing to do with people being sentenced to death for blasphemy against Islam?
