"A mosque in Pakistan decorated for the Islamic month of Ramadan.
The incident was alleged to have taken place in a mosque
A Pakistani court has sentenced a man to life imprisonment under the
country's controversial blasphemy laws.
Iqbal Ahmad, a member of the Ahmediya community, was found guilty of
being disrespectful to the Prophet Muhammad in a mosque near Faisalabad.
Mr Ahmad says he is innocent and his lawyer says he will lodge an appeal.
Human rights groups have called the blasphemy laws draconian and say the
burden of proof is too easy for the prosecution.
The laws cover offences against Islam, the Prophet and the Koran."

Sounds familiar?
In California you get life for steeling slice of pizza or shoplift
video. I wonder why Americans always look to other countries for the
brutality. There is plenty here.
