#1 Kinda like being jugged for saying the Apostle Luke was a nerdy note-taker.

Well, he was...

#2 The nice thing about having freedom of opinion and freedom of speech, is that it frees up the police and the courts to deal with real crimes and criminals. Or even take the occasional lunch break.

#4 Sounds like an honest to gawd witchhunt, 1600s style.

#5 1600s? My, that's a 200-year cultural advance.

#7 Well, then - they must all be stoned to death. It's only the Muslim thing to do.

#8 Pakistan - the "Land of the Pure" is just purifying (ethnically cleansing) itself.

It has already ethically cleansed the Sihks and Hindus. It is well on the way to wiping out the Ahmaddis muslims. The Ismaeli muslims will soon follow (rather perverse when one considers that the Aga Khan was a supporter of the Pakistan project). The Shia muslims are next.
Once only Sunni are allowed, there will be further cleansing of the renegade sects like the Barelvi, the Sufi..

Only the pure Deobandi will remain.
All will be Taliban.
