Girl, 11, Could Face Death in Pakistan for 'Blasphemy' - Yahoo! News

What aspect of a culture would bring it to the point of demanding the death of a child?

 

[Maelstrom]

Yes, I can certainly see how Islam is a religion of peace.

I dont understand why someone would want to do that. I mean, I get that what she might have done was offensive to some people, but to go from being offended to wanting someone executed is a pretty large step.

brainwashing within primitive barbaric people who cannot control their theism in any way shape or form to benifit society

this only shows we have not evolved beyond animals

It is a religion of peace. That doesn't mean people won't try to twist it and use it as justification for horrible acts of injustice... or bigotry

No need to worry.

The "moderate" Muslims will soon make their presence felt, come to the rescue and save the day for non-Muslims.

you mean sugar coat this tragedy, or ignore it?

 

[MoonWater]

No it is not cause to bash Islam or muslims in general.

Moderate Muslims are the silent majority within Islam.

These, these, these...extremists are not representing the true face of Islam. Islam means peace and ONLY Islam can give peace for all 7 billion of us.

The first thing to do is to convert every non-Muslim to Islam. That way, these incidents of blasphemy would not occur, right?

Its still not a reason to bash Islam and Muslims in general . Just the ******** that want this girl put to death.

Indeed. These people who are wanting death for this girl are not deriving even one bit of their ideology from the Quran or the Hadiths.

In fact, these people wanting death for this girl are actually non-Muslims pretending to be Muslim. They are actually blaspheming the peaceful message of the Quran.

Such ignorance really is just as bad as the ignorance in the news story. We are not dealing with Islam here. We are dealing with intolerant individuals who will hide behind whatever BS in order to force their rules.

Does anyone think that it is simply a mere coincidence this girl is from a Christian family? Of course it isn't. She is seen as a stranger, an outsider (much like you seem to see Islam) and that scares people. So they find any stupid reason to attack based on their ignorance and intolerance. It is simply nothing more than drawing lines between us and them, and really that never works out.

There bad apples in every barrel and unfortunately these bad apples all too often gain a great deal of power and influence. It is highly unfortunate.

Maybe the moderate muslims are silent because they feel like whenever they speak up, one or another, they'll just get bullied and brow beaten for it. Or maybe they are speaking up, and you just aren't listening, or are unable to hear them because the stories of these muslims are not as "eye-catching" and thus are not given the attention they deserve, causing them to be drowned out by the bad apples who can bring more eye-catching headlines.

I wonder why moderate Muslims are so easily browbeaten. What is the reason? Clearly, these fundie Muslims are misrepresenting the peaceful message of the Quran and the hadiths, right?

Why?

If non-Muslims are going to burn in hellfire for an eternity, thanks to Allah, it is good for Muslims to convert non-Muslims to Islam to help these non-Muslims escape eternal hellfire. Why is it sadistic? Is it sadistic for Allah to burn non-Muslims for an eternity in hellfire?
