Facebook’s well-known and somewhat controversial CEO Mark Zuckerberg is apparently in danger of facing the death penalty in Pakistan. A Pakistani lawyer is said to have filed a petition with the court to have charges brought against the CEO and a couple of its co-founders for blasphemy against Muhammad, which is punishable by death in the country. This is over the same “raw Muhammad Day” Facebook Page that got the social network banned in Pakistan and later in Bangladesh.


According to a report by The Register, a lawyer, Muhammad Azhar Siddique, filed a First Information Report (FIR), which is regularly used to launch a criminal investigation. It appears that no charges have been filed so far, but the FIR refers to the Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, which covers blasphemy against the prophet.

"Use of derogatory remark etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet, whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable for fine," that section reads.

It’s a serious offense, since it’s punishable by death or with prison for life. And if that wasn’t enough, you can also get a fine. Where does it end? The petition for an investigation is for Facebook’s CEO, co-founders Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes and “Andy,” the woman that created the “raw Muhammad” contest.

Apparently, the lawyer that filed the petition says he expects the local police to contact the Interpol and that arrests should be coming soon. That’s a bit optimistic, to say the least. And if you think it’s a bit strange to file charges against the people that run a service that had nothing to do with the actual content, this is a country where ‘insinuated blasphemy’ is punishable by death, so it probably makes perfect sense.

Woah there buddy don't get cocky, the bible is just as gay and brain washing as the Quran, possibly even more. Ever heard of the crusades? Middle ages?

None of that is going on now is it? We've realized that it's wrong to go to war and kill people over religion. Can the same be said for some Muslims? Some, but not all. And that group that it can't be said for is what we're dealing with here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember anything in the Bible explicitly calling believers to action and murdering in the name of the Lord.

Yeah but many of the Popes have used their authoritative power over the Christian people to influence they're actions and many times they have lead to war and bloodshed. If Christianity never existed it wouldn't have set Science to a halt for a thousand years due to the Christian dark ages. So in conclusion, Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike are all ****ing fags that can suck me off. :pedo:

How the hell is someone REAL being raped in anyway the same as drawing something that no one can prove? I'd take being drawn than being raped any day. That was just a poor metaphor on your half. I don't give two ****s if you tried to draw God and I doubt that any Christian would. Why would we? Sure, you have your beliefs and you're every bit entitled to, no one can say anything about that, but I really don't think they should be pushed onto non Muslim believers. Why should the whole world have to abide by your religion? Why can't non Muslims draw Muhammad or name a teddy after him without getting into trouble? They don't believe in him and don't go by your religion so why can no one draw him?

Im hating all this hate from you people. Because Im muslim and a pakistani, I don't care it's freedom of speech, but still there's a limit. Ok let's think of it this way yh, what if a guy raped your sister? would you want him dead? yes you would, religion has strict laws. What does somebody know about someone elses life style? Nothing, I get where people are getting the fact of this is extreme and yes it is but don't be stereotypical.

What do you guys think of this?

I think that these Indians are ****ing ingnorant and stupid.
Kill anyone that doesn't believe, suck my balls. Just because there are OVER 9000 of those damn Quaran following extremist bastards, doesn't mean they should enforce their shitty views about the penalty for not believing in Muhammad or whatever they seem to be on their period for.

No, I'm not a racist, I just hate certain aspects of certain religions. Especially when they're as extreme and pointless as this ****ing mong lawyer.

Using influence in numbers to get your way and to enforce your ideals makes you a fascist.
