Reader comment on item: Debating PBS's "Muhammad" Documentary
in response to reader comment: And we call Muslim world close minded and oppressive
Submitted by Alan Titus (Canada), Dec 10, 2006 at 12:09
In Pakistan there is a law againt blaspheming the prophet Muhammad. The punishment is death. It is okay to blaspheme God which is done on a daily basis in Pakistan ( according to the UN, Pakistan is the second most corrupt nation on earth after Nigeria). Pakistan is also called the land of the pure and run by Muslims.
This law has been used to steal property and women from Christians. Islamists have no qualm in stealing and raping ( notice the uproar when rape laws where removed from their so called Islamic justice courts.). All in the name of Islam.
Over 50% of Islamic nations in this world is either corrupt, violent or a failed state. Islam is a religion that does not allow true discussion or even dissent. And they wonder why people do not trust them.
