Sacred law

In a historic move some two months ago, the old UK Blasphemy laws were repealed. Even though the laws were wasting space on the shelf and hadn't been put into action since the 1920s, for the first time in history, God was no longer protected by litigation. But then again, God being God, I suppose He doesn't need a human entourage to make him untouchable, or a massive PR campaign to keep His reputation afloat. As one House of Lords peer put it, when defending the case for repealing the laws, if the good Lord could could find it in His mercy to sacrifice Himself for humankind, I'm sure He can stand a bit of left wing obscurantism (or something along those lines).

I wish Muslims were able to show such firmness in the face of insult. At no time has it been more important than now for them to prove the strength of their convictions.
