Pakistan's Supreme Court has upheld the acquittal of a Christian woman charged with blasphemy, standing by its earlier verdict that sparked days of protests, death threats and nationwide chaos.

Quote:

Blasphemy remains a massively inflammatory issue in Pakistan, where even unproven accusations of insulting Islam can prompt lynchings. Many cases see Muslims accusing Muslims, and rights activists say blasphemy charges are frequently used to settle personal scores.

Lynchings. When a group of people decide that someone does not deserve to live because their behavior is so offensive, for some reason. People like Aasia Bibi or that "uppity" Emmett Till.

But progress of sorts is being made.

Quote:

Judge Khosa said in court that Bibi's accusers were guilty of perjury, and if the case hadn't been so sensitive, they should have been jailed for life. "The image of Islam we are showing to the world gives me much grief and sorrow," said Khosa.

And in some respects, going down the slippery slope of undoing the progress that took decades to accomplish.
