Riggo-toni Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 In 1986, during the military rule of an Islamist general-turned-president, Muhammad Zia ul Haq, it became a capital offence for anyone to insult Muhammad the Prophet. Religious hardliners now regard these man-made laws as being almost as sacred as the Koran itself. In 2011 a liberal-minded governor of Punjab province, Salmaan Taseer, was shot dead by his bodyguard simply for daring to criticise what he called a “black law”. Later that year Shahbaz Bhatti, a government minister and critic of the laws, was also killed. http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2017/04/economist-explains-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 No bigger group of snowflakes in the world than religious fundamentalists. At least in America, they mostly just whine about a war on Christmas. In most Muslim countries, you are writing your death sentence by criticizing Islam.
