#1 Dr Sheikh told the Commission, âThe blasphemy law has brought shame on Pakistan. The law itself is unjust and inequitable, the offence it treats is poorly defined and open to abuse, and its operation has been widely misused and abused. Since the introduction of Sharia law in Pakistan in 1986, the blasphemy law has been used on hundreds of occasions by fundamentalists to silence moderate opponents, to intimidate non-Muslims and to settle personal scores."

Welcome to Sharia! This is what happens when a group of power-hungry nutters decide to use religion to advance their grab for power. Now they have to out-holy each other.
