1. Where I come from...
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (08.20.12)
Children with Down Syndrome cannot be subjected to prosecution, especially not for blasphemy and for good reason, too. Of course, in Pakistan, a nation of under-educated savages whose only achievement in live is that they are born with a penis in one hand and a quran in the other, this will likely result in an obscene number of lashes followed by an 'extra'-judicidal lynching by a mob that might benefit from a 2000 pound JDAM delivered on their heads. The gene pool will benefit, at least. Points scored for the Muslim world.
2. Primitive society!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (08.20.12)
I pity the children living in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Irak, etc. May G-d help them.
3. Primitivism reaches a new low
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.20.12)
People who have Down's Syndrome lack the requisite ability to comprehend the concept of "blasphemy," let alone act upon it. Well, perhaps not in primitive Pakistan, but in the civilized world, this is not a crime. For that matter, in the civilized world, "blasphemy" is not a crime. We're inclined to call it freedom of expression.
