    Yes radical Islam is getting out of control there now though.. either the new government will face up to it, or the Islamists will take over. The death penalty was introduced by Zia Al Haq, and it has caused the Pakistan courts to become completely bogged down....this law is used mainly against Christians, but any one with a grudge etc can accuse anyone else of "Blasphemy".....no one is safe from it really. I was really happy when the Irish Blasphemy Laws were removed. In the UN, Pakistan was trying to get blasphemy Laws introduced everywhere, and were using Ireland as a prime example of the successful application of them. Madness.

    It is reported that the UK will not offer Asia Bibi asylum on the grounds that it might..
    cause security concerns and unrest among certain sections of the community and would also be a security threat to British embassies abroad which might be targeted by Islamist terrorist

    That's pretty bad. If true. That a potentially violent minority can wield such influence in a democratic western country.

    whole middle east is nuts, what about the reporter that was last sourced by media, was dissolved in acid, UAE at its finest didnt even bother covering much because guy wrote smth that the prince didnt like :/, but sure lets arm them with nukes and let orange peel complain how bad whole situation is, ironic.

    when some complain about caravans of people seeking asylum for better life and refugess consisting mainly of young males looking to get into west which they so much hate in every aspect.

    It is a celebration of diversity.
