From a Western point of view this situation looks like something out of the Dark Ages. Like the superstitious mob about to burn a witch at the stake. Yet, our multi-cultural philosophy has declared it perfectly valid. But you cannot announce this publicly, without being accused of xenophobia. And to mention that these people supported the Bali bombers, well, you'd have to be a Nazi.

Jakarta: Prosecutors have accused the Christian governor of Jakarta of being "self-righteous" and say it is not enough for him to claim that his intention was not to insult Islam.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, popularly known by his nickname Ahok, has been accused of blasphemy over comments he made to fishermen on Indonesia's Thousand Islands, during which he made reference to a verse in the Koran.

Diverse cultural enrichment means embracing the new primitivism. It certainly doesn't mean better moral, political, ethical principles, better roads or health care, better anything.

It's just means coping with a diverse variety of atavisms and primitivisms we ourselves have grown out of.

Police the other day registered a case against Shaan Taseer, son of slain Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer, for alleged
‘hate speech’ after he sent a greeting out to fellow countrymen on the occasion of Christmas.


On the Christmas Day, Shaan sent a greeting out to fellow countrymen especially blasphemy accused Aasia Bibi.

In the video, shared by Christian Times on social networking website Facebook, Shaan had criticised the misuse of blasphemy laws in Pakistan and expressed his solidarity with blasphemy accused Aasia Bibi and Nabeel Masih, another Christian boy accused of blasphemy.

Soon after the video went viral, Islampura police station received an application from its SHO Nasir Hameed and subsequently booked Shaan under Section 295-A of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) without naming him in the report.

Meanwhile, Sunni Tehreek also issued a fatwa against Shaan for allegedly committing blasphemy as well as apostasy.

Islam where greeting others at Christmas is blasphemy.
