First of all, let me give my comments on the blasphemy law. This law was introduced by the military dictator General Ziaul Haq. No one demanded the blasphemy law in Pakistan. But he wanted to give protection to his undemocratic rule, dictatorship, by using religion.

Nobody from minorities was killed and no act of violence happened [against them]. ~ Shahbaz Bhatti

Someone has added Insha'allah in an attempt to introduce divine intervention into the proceedings.

They cannot be compared. ~ Shahbaz Bhatti
