Pakistani court decided against death sentence for "blasphemia"
| Finally some good news, even thought in so massively backwarded countries like pakistan the state of progression is so low and stagnating, that even tiny successes seem to be a big step forward.
It's like if people would celebrate a recognition of homosexuality by the catholic church, which fortunately became politically more and more irrelevant. But i still think humanity would need much more laizism everywhere. Religion and Estate must be institutionally radically separated.

| Nine years ago a group of muslimas reported the christian women Asia Bibi for disrespectful talking about the Prophet Muhammad. One year later she was sentenced to death for "blasphemy", which is defined as a major crime in Pakistan (originally introduced by the British colonional administration). The judgement led to international protests and the murder of two pakistani politicians that criticized it. Now the pakistani supreme court surprisingly annulled it and set her free.
