The old and the new
2014-11-10
[DAWN] UP and down, good and bad, old and new, it's been another one of those weeks. So let's get right to it.

Blasphemy is bad news. Worse -- horribly so -- for those at the sharp end of it. But, for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth and beating of chests, the blasphemy issue isn't going anywhere.

Reason A is the one few like to talk about, and that some may only vaguely be aware of: the blasphemy issue is not a Taliban cause; it, in large part, flows from the bandidos snuffies among the so-called moderates, the otherwise warm and fuzzy and likeable Barelvis.
