BAN BLASPHEMY, SAVE HUMANITY

BAN BLASPHEMY, SAVE HUMANITY 

Blasphemy law and the like should be abolished in Islamic states and theological imposition done away with.

Pakistan and Bangladesh, despite having been historical enemies, have always been theological siblings. As such these two severed sections of India have been hotbeds of archaic theological absolutism since inception and have been in need of modern medical treatment since long. It is a tribute to global unconcern that 390 million plus people should be left medically unaided and allowed to perish from the pernicious effects of medieval doctrinaire transmission while the rest of humanity barring the theological siblings of these two countries advances on the tide of progressive thinking.

Why should the world be so careless about the Islamic world and allow it en masse to sink in the mire of irrational scriptural fixation? It is our duty to read the Islamic scriptures and explain to Pakistan and Bangladesh at least -- for they are in geographical solidarity with India and, so, part and parcel of our concerns -- that it is better to bury the theological past and embrace the light of modern science and reason if they are to avoid prospective cultural calamity. So, I request all my friends and associates to get down to working in this regard.
