While the Islamic world ponders how it may adapt itself with modernity while maintaining its religion, I would strongly advise they consider discontinuing this practice:
Muhammad Samiullah, 17, is under arrest in the southern city of Karachi.
He is accused of blaspheming against the Prophet Muhammad in an examination paper.
The
article doesn't reveal what was written in the boy's paper, but a culture confident in itself doesn't need blasphemy laws. For example, America reveres her flag, but allows it to be burned. Pakistan should show some confidence in their beliefs, and let the boy go home.
