Another ridiculous case goes to court

There isn't even any evidence, just a man with a grudge.

Re: Another ridiculous case goes to court
When will the police start to investigate these things and find actual evidence before they bang people up and send them to court??
Do they not realise these archaic laws make them look backward?

Some knob on the FB page for 7 days wants the death sentence for the alleged crime.
It's primitive.

Re: Another ridiculous case goes to court
Quite right - but why isn't there any evidence? Surely the recipient would have kept the message as evidence, and the police can check the sender's phone memory for the 'SENT' message (it will be traceable there somewhere even if he has deleted it).

Re: Another ridiculous case goes to court
Back when I lived in AD; I heard about an Asian teacher being jailed because one of her students accused her of throwing his Quran on the floor and stepping on it. The AD Catholic church intervened on her behalf for clemency. It finally emerged that the student made the whole thing up because of a disagreement with said teacher. Oh and I alsor recal the teacher was heavily pregnant.

No evidence or credible witnesses throw the ****ing case out and save wasting time. The guy had an axe to grind, he just left the employment then a mysterious text. I'm no Colombo, but there Is at least one thing bothering me with this fabricated bollocks.

Re: Another ridiculous case goes to court
Maybe a bit foolish of the younger, but how it could possibly go to court when there is no actual evidence is beyond me.
Simply saying to the judge to order the police to get the actual message should be enough.
If, of course he did insult islam then he should be publicly beheaded!

These blasphemy laws are nothing but a convenient way for Locals and or Muslims to harass and abuse non Muslims.

Blasphemy is a victimless crime.
