After doing a lot of research the last few days by listening to Pakistani and non-Pakistani Islamic scholars, it’s become quite obvious that the punishment for blasphemy is a topic of debate and diverse opinions everywhere in the Islamic world.
Some scholars such as Ghamidi provided clear reasoning for why a death penalty for blasphemy does not have any basis in any Islamic texts.
In Turkey, the punishment for blasphemy is a long prison sentence. In Malaysia it’s up to three years in prison. Same for UAE, Kazakhstan and Qatar. None of these countries have death sentences. It looks like we have the strictest law going around.
While it appears impossible for us to scrap the laws in totality, why can’t our scholars present different viewpoints for debate in one of their IIC sessions? What else do they get appointed to do? Why can’t we increase the threshold for what constitutes a harsh punishment?
It’s just so pissing off to know other Muslim majority countries manage to exist without any of our ridiculous problems.

Awesome stuff down under. We’ve just come out of lockdown and the first thing they do is decide to hold an event and invite the Talib@n, because why not give them a voice and influence over Australian muslims? Have they lost their minds?
“Among the panel members are Sheik Sohail Shaheen, who has been the official spokesman for the Taliban since the group took over Afghanistan in August following the US and Australian withdrawal…. Fellow panel member Sheik Sayed Abdul Basir Sabiri is also a senior Taliban figure.”
Senator Penny Wong said the decision to allow the Taliban a platform in Australia was “unjustifiable”.
