After 8 years of martyrdom, reason prevails - and the nuthouse goes mad
 
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46040515


This story shows just one thing: what a primtive, backwardly, barbaric nutohuse many reigon soif the world are, and that it is an offence to be demanded to take them seriously and respectfully.


She is still not out of danger, still could get slaughtered, lynched. The province governor who visited her in her cell years ago, and a state government minister, were assassinated years ago when they voiced sympathy for her case and that the blasphemy laws should be cut back. The mob in Pakistan currently seems to go ballistic.

To some people religion is the be all and end all.

It will be interesting to see how Imran Khan deals with the situation.

There is this beautiful little short book by Alan Watts, written in 1950 already: The Wisdom of Insecurity - LINK. Sometimes, when I am in master-of-the-universe mode, I want to strap mankind on a table and then force this book with a hammer into mankind's stupid tiny little nutshell of a brain.

If I were a therapist still, I would put this book into not few patients hands. Not that a blood-thirsty mob of hateful and hysteric barbarians can be impressed by such gesture. Why cant they just get lost, like the dinosaurs (that they are).

ahh the ol' religion of peace up in arms again eh?

The lawyer defending the woman had to flee from Pakistan, fearing for his life. The govenrment bowed to the plebs and made a deal with the mobsters to not release her, she is still in prison although the court ruled she had to be freed "immediately". The government agreed to not hinder a second trial against her. "Blood! Blood! Blood!"

Rabid primitive monkeys doing monkey conga in the streets. Their mere carricature of an existence is an offence to the human race. We should contain them like the plague. Fear the day when their way of thinking dominates the world. It would be hell on Earth.

It would appear the rule of the mob is dictating government actions.

Not a good thing imo because should they succeed they will feel emboldened and come back insisting on more power.

She is on a plane now but "nobody knows where it will land". Hopefully not from the pan into the fire. Husband has left Pakistan days before already. Government said it would hinder her to leave the country.

Released from prison, but officially confirmed to be still trapped inside Pakistan.

Hopefully she will get out of the country safely.
