Clerics call for the death of Sherry Rehman

[Aught3]

BRITISH-educated Sherry Rehman, a journalist and a senior leader of the Pakistan People's Party, is reportedly refusing to leave Pakistan, despite renewed calls by fanatical Muslim clerics to have her killed.

Rehman incurred the wrath of Muslim fundamentalists when she called for changes in the blasphemy law. Last November, she submitted a private bill in Parliament that sought to drop the mandatory death sentence for blasphemy.

According to this report, Interior Minister Rehman Malik advised the former information minister to leave the country if she wanted to keep safe from religious extremists.

A source last week told Pakistan Today that Malik telephoned Sherry, telling her to leave the country at the earliest opportunity because:

Fanatics are hell bent to take her life due to her views on blasphemy laws.

Renewed threats against Rehman came days after a police guard gunned down Punjab Governor Salman Taseer for criticising the blasphemy law.

Now criticizing blasphemy law is tantamount to blasphemy itself?

A god could care less about such things. Coming from a human, is like an insult from a germ.

They really need to take religion less seriously.

Thats like asking an alcoholic to stop drinking. These fundamentalists cannot stop caring about religion, it is too difficult.

Did a Pakistani police officer shoot a member of the Pakistani government?

Yes, but... is criticizing the critics of the critics of the blasphemy law also blasphemy?

It all kinda started with Solomon Rushde in 1989, anyone in the Islamic world that speaks out against their own peoples antics gets deaths threats, fatwahs, and so on. i have come to the conclusion that there is no reasoning with Islamic fantics, (the same can be said about christian fanatics), once they are brainwashed beyond a certain point, they are beyond help. I live in the bible belt and have had to attend those backwoods churches, you see a look in the eyes of a brainwashed fundumentalist weather he or she be muslim or christian. that comes once they get beyond a certain point or been brainwashed since youth like in that jesus camp movie or that poor kid in the latest dprjones video.
