Pakistan court sentences Christian man to death for blasphemy
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/ma...-blasphemy

Sawan Masih was convicted of insulting the prophet Muhammad during the course of a conversation with a Muslim friend in the Joseph Colony neighbourhood of Lahore in March last year.
Pakistan has strict laws against defaming Islam, including the death penalty for insulting the prophet Muhammad, and rights campaigners say they are often used to settle personal disputes.

I' m pretty comfortable saying that most liberals find Hobby Lobby's stance on abortion more abhorrent than Pakistan executing Christians.

Pretty sure the enlarged bolded word no longer applies.

To heck with their nukes. Surgical strikes and then getting
in there amongst them would nullify that. Come on India,
hang up those call center phones and get with it. You know
you want to. jk

Easier said that done. No way a nuke doesn't go off in the US if we strike Pakistan. That's one of the MAIN reasons why we can't let Iran get a nuke as well.

We're not the sheriff of the world.
Time to let some other countries have some fun at world peace keeper. BO has his peace prize, he doesn't need another one.
Plus we can't afford it.

I condemn Pakistan for this. I also condemn the US religious right, who support persecution of Gay persons in areas where they hold control (such as Nigeria, Uganda, Jamaica, Belize, etc.).

Definitely show a link where the "US religious right" (whoever that is) supports the killing of gays in other countries...

Holding the view that Obama had when he was elected in 2008 is now hateful and bigoted.

I condemn you for lumping any religious right leaning UC citizen in with some nutjob who might think persecuting gays in ok. If I go to church and vote right does that put me in the same camp as the God hates fags preacher (forget his name)? How dare you say "the" religious right.
