How tolerant of him. And blasphemy should not be a government issue. I don't understand those who think government should ever get involved in religion.

Clearly you're pretty blind to how the world functions. Most governments are based on religion, solely because of religion. Yes, I agree, State and Religion should be separated, but not even America seems to be able to do that. Mitt Romney has followers solely because of his religion and his religiously biased stance on abortion. Pakistan is an even more set-in-stone nation when it comes to how its governed, and their rules are so based on the quran and Islam that it makes the Bible belt in America look relatively sane and without religion (if that makes sense)
If i am reading that correctly then the article doesn't say that the girl is innocent. It simply said that he added some papers. The burnt pages were already brought to him on suspicion of blasphemy. I don't agree with it, but that article doesn't say she is innocent in any way.

And while people in the US are free to vote for someone for whatever issue they want...be it religion, economics, gay marriage, etc...that does NOT mean the government is involved in religion. Hint...it's not.

Hint...it's not. Religion is very strongly linked to US politics. Certainly more so than here in the UK I'd say.
I don't think I've ever heard a politician regularly mention God or their beliefs here, but I watched the GOP convention briefly and that was a fairly constant theme. In fact, that is why there's so much opposition towards gay marriage and abortion, and why evolution is still a hotly contested issue in American schools in 2012 (which is truly bizarre to me).

Which is odd since America is supposedly a secular state yet here in the UK we have a state religion.
Obviously America is doing something terribly wrong if they can't even beat the UK with the religion problem
Wouldn't it be hilarious if the West just decided to save and evacuate the women in those societies and just the women.. Bet those men over there would have a new perspective on things when the people they treat like property suddenly aren't around any more.

hoola
You read it incorrectly. On both attempts to frame her, he falsified the evidence.

The Muslim cleric Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Chishti is a terrible person for starting a witch hunt based on false evidence. Since he was the one who planted evidence, I wonder if he will be convicted for blasphemy instead of the eleven year old girl he framed. Desecration of the Quran is considered blasphemy and he is the culprit. In any case, blasphemy laws are outdated and should be archived.

try running for any major office in the UK as Catholic and get back to me on that one.

It's a well known fact that all Catholics are members of the IRA. We're just looking out for our safety.
