I've said it before and I'll say it again - humanity will benefit the most when religion finally establishes itself as a chapter in a history textbook, and nothing more.

My wife is from Pakistan. Corruption is a HUGE problem. Facebook should be held responsible as well. The guy being sentenced to death is a piece of #### but Facebook colluded with the Pakistani government to sentence him to death. Pakistan asked Facebook for help in catching blasphemers on Facebook a few months ago and looks like the help they provided led to this mans death. It's ####ing crazy there. Blasphemy laws are used to settle personal grudges more than anything and are used as a weapon against the Sikhs, Catholics and Hindus in Pakistan.
