: Model Answer

The Blasphemy Law in Pakistan is formulated to prevent blasphemous activities inside the state. Blasphemy refers to ignore or criticise any of the recognised religions and spread negative ideas or ideologies, derogatory remarks about those religions or about the preachers of the religions to defame them. The Penal Code has strict penalties for blasphemy and the law violators will be punished severely. The punishment ranges from fine to death penalties. I like it because it allows the member of all religions to perform their respective religious norms

I always try to follow the law. I believe that hurting other people regarding their religion is the representation of an ill manner. Religion is a matter of internal belief and it is not the subject to be forced. If someone does not like my religion, I do not criticise about theirs. I always try to pay respect to the people following the religions other than mine and also they show respect towards me. Interfering over the religious issue appears to be the worst one for the negative consequences

The benefits of following the Blasphemy Law in Pakistan are great. The most important benefit is that people can live happily with their specific religions. As a Muslim majority country, people of other religions are also living peacefully. No one criticises negatively to other religion and there are no obligations to follow the state religion. When people used to decline the state religion, the government imposed penalties strictly to those and thus the other people have learned the importance of following their own religion. Actually, none of the religion has ordered to condemn other religions

I mostly like the penalties of the law. Although I am against death penalty, at times the violators are punished with standard fines and warned not to commit the crime. If they are seen violating the law, they are penalised with the death penalty. But in most cases, the citizens change their attitude when they are fined and do not get engaged in such crimes again, fearing the death penalty. This has radically changed the situation of the country. As a result, people of different religion are practising their respective religions
