Sticks and stones may break my bones....

If your god can't handle some criticism, perhaps you should find something that isn't quite so weak to worship.

Here in Ireland there is a blasphemy law with penalties for breaking. There is a referendum on this taking place soon. Sad to see this superstitious nonsense still around. Words have magical powers!! What a crock.

To anyone with a morsel of intelligence, Islam is its own worst advertisement.

Blasphemy laws should be removed world wide, it makes no sense to self-censor what you say. Freedom of speech is much more important.

What utter buffoons. Never has a quote I've seen referring to religion as "...a fossilized lump of useless thought, a psychological ball & chain...", seemed more appropriate. Ah... the human race??? More evidence that our race truly is about a half chromosome away from being chimpanzees.

That is my country of birth where I spent the first 12 years of my life. I was also of the ethnic-Chinese minority (hated because we tended to be better educated and wealthier and non-Muslims). There is no religious freedom in a country that requires you (by law) to have a religion and only one of 5 (I don’t know where they get 6 in the article) approved. God forbid you claim to be atheist or agnostic there. The targeting of non-Muslims was the reason my family moved to Canada.

“She did not commit blasphemy. What she did was offer a neighborly complaint, and that is not an insult to Islam'' Says it all really

This is a free link....since the Washington Post wants money to see their article.

Blasphemy--- a victimless crime.
If Gawd is so offended....let HIM come down and file a complaint.

More proof that religion is all about control, control and more control!!!

The Washington post wants me to pay $1 to read that story. Sorry, I don't pay for news.
