How does Raheel Raza plan to eliminate blasphemy laws from Islam? Both the Koran and the Sunnah call for severe punishment of blasphemy, and the penalties for blasphemy have been part and parcel of standard Sharia law for more than a thousand years. Religious Muslims cannot abolish those laws and punishments. Only a secular or semi-secular dictator in a Muslim-majority country can do that. The Islamic religious establishment must support and enforce blasphemy laws.
