It's even more surprising that the law was introduced in 2009.

Blasphemy is victimless. Literally.

God. What the actual ****.

They're going to have a real shock whenever they realise God's not real.

And they allowed this?

Doesn't some religion or other forbid the image of someone? Of which we daren't print for sake of offending? Can't see the difference myself.

Not quite. Images such as this



aren't expressly forbade by the state whereas blasphemy apparently is. That's a false equivalence. I'm open to being corrected on that, mind.

Edit-I'm wrong. Ignore me. ROI is crackers.

If you're talking about Islam not allowing images of their prophet Muhammed, that isn't entirely true.

Hundreds of years ago Muslim artists freely painted pictures of him. It's only a recent trend that suggests no images of him.

Much like everything, religion is open to massive interpretation. Hence why there's different sections of the same religion.

As a piece of anthropological study, religion is fascinating. As a concept of how the world came to be and how to govern your life however, it's a load of toss.

So the viewer wasn't personally offended, but reported it anyway?

Some people need to take a look at themselves, preferably locked away in a room somewhere.
