Re: Update on the Pakistani blasphemy case
And Keralites are hardly shining examples of ecumenical tolerance, at least based on the ones I know in the UAE.
A lot of people think white people are the only racists - when you speak a bit of Hindi or Urdu and hear them openly calling Brits "White Dogs" you begin to see there are in fact some really nasty people out there of all colours.

What is a stereotypical racist? The most racist people I have met have been Hindu Indians for example?

Pakistanis have the same racial mentality, them being Muslim didn't change their entrenched SubCon attitudes on race/caste. The elites retained the same communal bias and just switched religions because it was prudent to do so when Islam conquered the region. Ofcourse I am not referring to all Pakistani or Hindu communities, just the ones who have always been priviledged.
The same applies to Christians in the SubCon, those who claim descent from Syriac Christians or converted priestly caste Hindus maintain caste/race biases against those from the lowest castes who converted to Christianity to escape Hindu oppression. Syriac Christians settled in Kerala, and still maintian a strong presense there.
Indian Jews share the caste/race prejudice of their non Jewish counterparts. Baghdadi Jews emigrated to the SubCon around the time of European Imperilism, they refused to accept the Jews of Cochin as Jews because the latter were dark skinned like the locals. About a year or so ago I read about upper caste Sikhs killing a visiting Sikh Guru in an Austrian Sikh temple because the Guru represented lower caste Sikhs.

Re: Update on the Pakistani blasphemy case
...... and 'influential' Pakistanis are cleverly convincing us that they are actually moderates. Example: Imran Khan - a very dangerous man in an increasingly influential position.
I was at a dinner with him once back in the early-1990s. Everyone was doing that 'go-round-the-table-and-tell-us-what-each-of-you-think' stuff, and the conversation moved onto how the world would change etc in the next fifty years.
Everyone trotted out some garbage; IK just listened, then (in a chilling tone of voice) simply said 'You people have no idea. You have only one problem - Islam. And it cannot be defeated or stopped'.
The hostess offered the cheese and biscuits, but nobody seemed to want any........

For just like The Comintern and National Socialism you can be sure the ideology fuelling them is every bit as virulent and dangerous...and older and more entrenched and easier to hide behind the guise of religion too.

Re: Update on the Pakistani blasphemy case
My old Granddad used to say that about the Germans, spent a year killing them and thought the whole nation was evil. Then he met his first wife (a German, no less, and changed his opinion).
So, assuming you havent met and conversed with all of mother India's Keralites - whats your excuse for the sterotypical racist's view?
Just asking, like.

I would never call myself stereotypical racist
I hate monkey hangers and smoggies far more than Keralites
I did however vote with my feet and now live in a smoggy free enclave of conservatism and traditional values and I love it.
Hope you all find your happiness in your own place, if not head to diggers for a taste of the east

Re: Update on the Pakistani blasphemy case
Having had the miserable experience of having to go to India and Kerala in particular once every 4 or 5 weeks for a year plus of course being exposed to the rampant devious keralite bastards who steal your eye balls and then come back for the lashes, I think I am reasonably comfortable in standing by my comments.

Re: Update on the Pakistani blasphemy case
Woah, woah, woah...sweet child of mine...
What's in the water over there at the moment? Everyone is flying off the handle, jumping to conclusions, misconstruing arguments, deploying logical fallacies...
Can't we all just get along????
