BLASPHEMY AND ATHEISM

BLASPHEMY: FOCUS ON EXTREMISTS

I wouldn't have written this post unless I had searched a random keyword - PAKISTAN LAWS - on youtube and the topmost suggestion would have been blasphemy.Thus, here goes my stint of few dozens of lines with this domain:

Imagine you are the most analytical thinker of your class and there comes a new teacher one day who starts teaching something new to you. But you find the stuff  less easy to digest because you have a habit of gaining new things in a rational way.She is insisting you to mug up the facts and you are approaching the solutions rationally. The problem lies in the fact that both of you consider your way of thinking as the supreme one. The problem intensifies when one who presumes to have greater authority is actually wrong in her take. At this point, the student starts cursing the ideas of teacher (blasphemy) and teacher knows that ultimately she will be the winner(religion).

I won't favour any side but will present the view from both of sides. From student point of view :

                                                                                                                                                         

      From teacher's point of view, the allegation of irrationality (blasphemy on student's side)

           has no effect on her.Her ways are perfect according to her. 

Technically, act of  showing disrespect, less regard to God or any other higher moral authority.

Now comes, the example of Pakistan in due course of our discussion about blasphemy.
Starting back from 'our' British days, blasphemy was implemented in 1860. A legal restriction was applied on insulting other religions/sections.But the reason behind the stability of this law was that this law was equally applicable to all religions. In general, it was actually similar to India's present laws om protecting religious minorities and respecting every religion's beliefs.

But since times immemorial, Pakistan is famous for misinterpretation for anything given granted to it.No matter whether it is our gift of Indus valley to them or Indus river beneficiaries. Same goes for blasphemy. They took the concept in their hand and moulded it arbitrarily.By law, any person who shows disrespect to any idea, custom, ritual of Islam would be given a direct death penalty. Please carefully see the judicial imprudence behind this statement.

How can you prove that a certain person has insulted any element of ISLAM?

How can one be so irrational towards other religions?

How can we implement such law?
It is just like banning 'watching' porn in India and accusing a person, he has watched out some previously downloaded stuff , on a literal basis.

 The other countries are on the whole basis more liberal towards blasphemy of each and every  religion. As you can see here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law#Pakistan. They are not as much as extremist by law as Pakistan. In India itself, it is the secularism which deals  with all problems of blasphemy. Here every religion has a defensive law against blasphemy by other religion. Thus, the chance of its misuse reduces manifold.

Overall, atheism is more close to blasphemy, but more clearly former is the subset of the latter.

But I would say that your take on the argument that you are an atheist or criticise other religions depends on your social standard. As you can see above, well learned pragmatic innovators are mostly atheists because they had lived the whole life searching out logics and reasons. They never took anything for granted.

 CONCLUSION FOR EXTREMISTS:

                                                    1. EITHER YOU CRAVE FOR  THIS.

2. OR RESORT TO BLASPHEMY.
