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.

Just curious why you would claim this?

By all accounts the 30 year-old Taimoor Raza only started as an activist after a student named Mashal Khan who had been accused of blasphemy, was beaten and shot to death at a university.

His fight is about this killing and the Wahhabi type influence the people who killed him have, Taimoor Raza is a moderate Shia Muslim.

Quote:
An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has handed down death sentence to a Shia Muslim activist who allegedly committed blasphemy by posting anti-Wahhabi and Saudi contents on social media.

The court in Punjab province's Bahawalpur district announced the sentence for Taimoor Raza after holding him guilty of posting derogatory content on social networking website Facebook.

Shafiq Qureshi, public prosecutor in Bahawalpur, confirmed Raza was convicted for allegedly making derogatory remarks against the Deobani sect, which is akin to the Wahhabi tradition and Takfirism practiced in Saudi Arabia.

Why do you call the guy a piece of ####? Sounds like someone who stood up religious fanaticism to me.

If what you are claiming about Facebook is true, there should be laws where people in their corporate office can be charged. Accessory to murder or terrorism or something like that?
