http://sify.com/news/pak-s-blasphemy-law-is-not-god-giv... "...Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer has said Pakistan's Blasphemy Law is man-made and not God-given, and that his meeting with blasphemy accused Pak-Christian woman- Aasia Bibi- is being politicised, a private TV channel reported. During an interview with the channel, Taseer said no Muslim could even imagine blasphemy, and added that the issue important for him was reviewing the Blasphemy Law..." edit to add: "It is primarily used against vulnerable groups that face social and political discrimination. Heading that category are religious minorities and heterodox Muslim sects," not much different than some of the laws still on the books here and elsewhere... sodomy laws, crack/cocaine, etc...
