Pakistan mob burns man accused of desecrating Koran alive

[CuriousGM]

You broke the law of a certain country and you expect to be let-off Scot free ? - knowing full well beforehand what the punishment would be ?

I think the bigger point there was that it's an archaic, primitive law to begin with; brought to you by Islam.

Accept that people in other countries have a different way of thinking from yourself.

[trankwil]

they need to start doing stings for these people. Have an undercover cop burn a koran or post a caricature of Mohammad on the web and when the mobs come, use automatic weapons.

[CXC3000]

it would be your choice to hand me to the authorities you 3rd world savage.

You would be a criminal. I despise criminals.

Hope that clarifies

Very much.

[CXC3000]

Very much.

And remember, don't burn anything (apart from yourself).

[ZioBot]

I can burn a koran here freely yet they'd arrest me for burning a man who did the same. Its like one rule for primitive 3rd world savages and another for modern handsome british ziobots.

What a nutjob ha?

Accepts that Muslims will murder you over a book
Cries when Israel defends itself from rocket attacks

Anti Israeli Logic, not even once.

[fatkow]

What Israel is doing is phucked
What happened in Pakistan is phucked
CXC is phucked

[Milo3]

not defending that however... if its a criminal offense to to that to the Koran then why do it? OK burning him alive is disturbing but I find it funny how people react thinking he's done nothing wrong.

In other countries you must respect their culture and laws, otherwise don't go there.

[CXC3000]

So if Israel introduces a law that says Palestinians on their land is a crime, you'd be all for it.. good to know!

Nazi Israel is the criminal here.

There's a reason why India is rapidly developing, while their neighbor Pakistan continues trying to maintain their 8th century existence.

lol nice try...Even the Indians know during the 60's-70's Pakistan was doing economically and socially much better than India. Even now with good governance there can be rapid growth.

ok that was pretty funny

This is Dadu....you tell me.

At the end of the day things like this will keep happening. Rule of law is a problem and this is why things like this keep happening. The problem is worse in rural hamlets....No point in bothering to argue with retards on the internet about it. It's something that will be fixed in the future with education, rule of law, and good governance.

Funny though how what happens to the Rohingyas doesn't get any attention here but one man who was murdered in Pakistan gets so much attention from you guys.

punishment for blasphmeny is death in pakistan law u retard

[TrollingStoned]

This is reprehensible, it's not like he burned a bible. He burned a made up book that mindless people follow without questioning. He's in heaven now.

[NoFXN]

punishment for blasphmeny is death in pakistan law u retard

Typical westerner that thinks he knows everything about the rest of the world. How many people have been sentenced to death by the Pakistani state? Not to mention the fact that the death penalty is suspended in the countries civilian courts currently. Most people charged under the blasphemy laws are actually Muslims and everyone wins the appeal even if they do get convicted.

The irony is that this law was added to the penal code in 1860 by the British. And the British did hang people for violating it!

In Israel, blasphemy is covered by Articles 170 and 173 of the penal code.[29][30]
Insult to religion 170. If a person destroys, damages or desecrates a place of worship or any object which is held sacred by a group of persons, with the intention of reviling their religion, or in the knowledge that they are liable to deem that act an insult to their religion, then the one is liable to three years imprisonment. Injury to religious sentiment 173. If a person does any of the following, then the one is liable to one year imprisonment: (1) One publishes a publication that is liable to crudely offend the religious faith or sentiment of others; (2) One voices in a public place and in the hearing of another person any word or sound that is liable to crudely offend the religious faith or sentiment of others.
The law is traced back to the British High Commission "The Abuse and Vilification (religious invective) Order No. 43 of 1929", enacted in efforts to suppress the 1929 Palestine riots. The order contained the language: "Any person who utters a word or sound in public or within earshot of any other person that may be or is intended to offend his religious sensitivities or faith can expect to be found guilty and eligible for a one-year jail sentence."

LOL Israel has the law too thanks to the British.

british may have made the law back then to please idiot pakistanis rioting but why dont pakistan people do anything to change it now? pakistan people are retarded anyway but the fact that such law exists gives those retards justification to commit such actions.

Why does it need to be changed? Essentially the law is never upheld considering convictions have always been acquited on appeal. The law is there to keep the peace and prevent actions like mob justice. If you take away the laws you will see more mob justice.

lol at generalizing 180 million people as retarded...American arrogance of peace. Also enjoying the anti-islam comments in the thread considering there is no basis in Islam for blasphemy laws. Especially, killing someone over it!

ok so you are saying pakistan people are retarded and will kill those who blasphemy so the law is there to protect from such actions? fair enough.

Seriously? Are you like 12?

-------------

They are so many ironies when it comes to this law. Like the fact the extreme brands of Islam like Wahabbi/Deobandi get penalized the most by it. Barelvi's strongly dislike these brands of Islam and see them as foreign to the traditional religious landscape of the region.

[Meatros]

A mob broke into a Pakistani police station and burnt a man accused of desecrating the Koran alive, police said Saturday, in the latest violence focusing attention on the country's blasphemy laws.

The man was a traveler and had spent Thursday night at the mosque, said Maulvi Memon, the imam in the southern village of Seeta in Sindh province. The charred remains of the Koran were found the next morning.

Perhaps not the most appropriate of thoughts, but my mind has happened upon the following: Suppose Memon had tattooed the Koran all over his body. What then?

Would he have been burned? Assaulted? No matter how blasphemous his actions, would he not be covered in 'holy armor' so-to-speak?

You're right, it's not the fault of the Pakistani's for brutally torturing a man by burning him alive.

It's the fault of the British for putting a long-unused penal code into place over 150 years ago. Is that what the Pakistani authorities told you to believe? Colonialism still makes a convenient scapegoat for those too incompetent to govern their own people.

Also, thanks for negging me for my earlier comment. Umad civilized India has a strong and growing economy, while Pakistan remains as an ungovernable embarrassment to humanity?

[Weightaholic]

Pakistani mob of inbred paedophile worshippers burn someone alive because they're barbaric scum, and we get this gem.

Nazi Israel is the criminal here.

Full. Retard.

Because, given that these winners previously tried to hunt down and kill a mentally retarded girl, it's not working. And don't try to tell me there's no problem, either. If you get one idiot acting the dickhead like this, you don't have a problem. When a couple thousand of your inbred countrymen all think this sort of thing is a Really Good Idea, then you have a problem.

Yes, and what happened in that case? The guy who made the allegation is currently facing trial for his false claims. The girl and her family is safe in Pakistan's Government's custody. Not exactly a great example of trying to make the point that the basis behind the law isn't working.





The system worked how it should in this case, and she was given a lot of support from the establishment. Also if you had actually read my posts instead of just commenting blindly as usual you would have realized I mentioned this was a rule of law problem.

Nice job with the strawman fallacy, I never blamed it on the British but facts are facts even if you have trouble swallowing it. I bet you don't know a single thing about British colonialism in British India and the after affects.

You consistently make ignorant posts, a neg well deserved.

he is not blaming the british. he is saying the law is there to prevent retarded pakistan people from killing others for blashphemy.

Way to completely miss the point in your demented tribalism.

If you can convince a couple of thousand people that it's a good idea to kill a mentally retarded girl because of what she may or may not have done to a book, then you have a problem. If you can convince a couple of thousand people that it's a good idea to kill a mentally retarded girl because of what she may or may not have done to a book, then the law is failing.

Pretty simple equation.

I'll just go try and find my give a fck, shall I?

Don't try to get out of the fact that you were so ignorant on this topic that you gave a horrible example where the law/government worked how it was meant to work.
