Of course,


if we banned their holy book here there would be no end to the cries of bigotry and prejudice and lack of freedom in the West.

Radical Pakistani Clerics Call Bible ‘Blasphemous,’ May Seek to Have it Banned

If this happens it's just another thing we'll suck up...

Guilty once charged

Pakistan's blasphemy vigilantes kill exonerated man

This is the problem in these strict Muslim cultures. It doesn't matter what the law says, the extremists and fanatics will still do what they feel is necessary for them to do despite the law. They feel free to interpret anything as blasphemy, it seems, and the law has been proven to be used unfairly to settle grudges and get property, because, as we see here, it doesn't matter if you're guilty or not, you still lose.

Have mercy on him, Lord.

(I'm certainly glad that my God and His prophets and representatives are big enough to take care of themselves without the help of the little people...)

Thank goodness

that our God is big enough to deal with this sort of evil-intentioned act Himself without having to charge us to go and kill the offenders...

Iran Christians Jailed, Bibles “Burned”

...unlike the god or prophet or whoever of their faith, who seems so easily hurt that he needs to be helped out violently all the time by his followers...

Another martyr


for the Christian faith, made such by the fanatic murderers of the Taliban.

Pakistan Christians bury murdered leader Shahbaz Bhatti

Have mercy on his soul, Lord, and be with all the persecuted Christians in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world...

The archaic practices continue

Muslim actress in Harry Potter series "badly bruised" after attempted honor killing over her relationship with a Hindu man

It doesn't matter that she is an actress in an immensely popular film series. All that does is highlight the insanity of the 12th century practices of the Islamist zealots. I can only pray for her safety and proper punishment for the violent Islamists, family or not...

Apparently,

it all started out, if you can believe the reports, with a young boy touching a street vendor's wares.

Unnamed Christians Accused after Muslim Attack in Pakistan

And so, after a reported 150 armed Muslims riot, shooting, burning and beating people, the authorities arrest 40 Christians. Somehow it just seems out of balance. They just look for any excuse for violence against non-Muslims. And such is the way of the law in Muslim countries, I guess. The Muslim fanatics could never be at fault, could they?

Fanaticism,

bigotry and prejudice exist in every religious group...

Mouths filled with hatred

And fanatics often do disgusting things that reflect badly upon their religion or race...
