I would support the cause of repealing blasphemy law, rather there should be no law at all in Pakistan. Even traffic cops 'misuse' the trafic laws to gain bribes on daily basis hahaha . Let there be a fight and the winner establish the new order .

But anyways, most of the deaths that have occurred in popularized cases of blasphemy were lynchings, there have been very few convictions. It means that it is a popular trend in some areas of the country, there is very little persecution by the state. Neither we have had any radical government which could use this law to persecute minorities. Even the most religiously zealous regime, compared to others, that of Zia ul Haq which enacted this law, didn't appear to make any extensive use of this particular law to meet it's ambition of curbing political opposition. It means directly condemning presence of a law which is perceived as sign of a Islamic State by the people is counterproductive and it fuels religious tensions. You need to deal with the popular trend first and then be a watchdog over the actions of the state in implementing this particular law I suppose .

But a problem can only be solved by a people who see the problem and make a resolve to solve it. We are a people who create problems for ourselves and then make cries to gain attention and free stuff. That's the survival strategy of people living in this part of the world . If you can notice it, it happens everyday, everyone is crying but yet there is no solution to any problem, rather no problem at all, because everyone knows the problems are artificial and there is always someone to blame .
