	<title>Should there still be such thing as blasphemy?</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; "><img class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" src="https://bbcbreakingnews.pages.dev/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/img/mosque.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="170" />&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<p><a href="http://public.dawn.com/2010/11/12/christian-woman-sentenced-to-death-in-blasphemy-case-2.html">Asia Bibi</a> is 45 and mother of five. She's a Pakistani Christian and she's facing a death sentence for blasphemy.</p>
<p><a href="http://online.worldmag.com/2010/11/11/palestinian-blogger-arrested-for-insulting-islam/">Walid Husayin</a> is 26; the son a Muslim scholar. He's a Palestinian blogger and he's facing a life sentence for atheistic rants and creating Facebook groups where he spoofed the Koran. Many of his neighbours in&nbsp;Qalqiliya say he "should be burned to death".</p>
<p>At the UN, blasphemy is also being discussed. Countries with large Islamic populations have once again called for the condemnation of what they call <a href="http://www.prlog.org/11044765-un-resolution-defamation-of-religions-resolution-yes-vote-will-have-serious-ramifications.html">"defamation of religions</a>".</p>
<p>And so all of this&nbsp;got us questioning whether&nbsp;blasphemy laws should exist&nbsp;these days?&nbsp;And are there&nbsp;countries where&nbsp;they might be more appropriate?&nbsp;</p>]]><![CDATA[<p>Paula Schriefer in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/opinion/10iht-edschriefer.html">New York Times </a>says the UN vote&nbsp;is deeply flawed and&nbsp;it would be a weak weapon in the fight against "Islamophobia".</p>
<p>And <a href="http://www.standardnewswire.com/news/177595725.html">Catholic League president Bill Donohue</a> agrees:</p>
<blockquote>It is not just that this U.N. resolution is poorly worded, it is the intent behind it: it is being promoted by member states that are known for disrespecting human rights, including, most spectacularly, religious liberties... the resolution is not a check on religious defamation: rather, it is designed to give Islamist nations the right to plunder the religious rights of non-Muslims--under the guise of fighting religious intolerance!</blockquote>
<p>Do religions need a law to protect them from criticism or ridicule? If they do, should they have them? And if so, what should the punishment be?</p>
<p>Or should all faiths be strong enough to tolerate any denigration?</p>
<p><a href="http://breakingspells.net/the-spell-of-islam-difficult-to-break/">Breaking Spells </a>blog makes this point:</p>
<blockquote>If a god truly is all-powerful, then why would someone criticizing it in public be any sort of threat? If the god is real, let the god strike the "blasphemer" down. This is a way for religious hierarchy to police it's followers.</blockquote>
<p>We're obviously addressing this from the point of view of all religions. Some of you though are saying this is about Islam. But with Islam seemingly under a constant spotlight, does it need particular protection?</p>]]></description>

	<title>What would your slogan be for a Tiger ad?</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>So <a href="http://www.youtube.com/nikegolf#p/u/0/5NTRvlrP2NU">here it is</a>: The first ad featuring Tiger since his private life became public. It started running on US TV last night. Nike has gone for a deep, sombre, reflective affair. Could you do better? Send us your slogan for a Tiger ad? </p>]]><![CDATA[<p>The commercial got us thinking. If you had a blank piece of paper and any product in the world, what would you do with Tiger? We're going to play with this on the World Today later, so send us your best shot and we'll work with some of the ones that make us smile. We're currently trying to find an ad-man (or woman) to help us knock something together, which we'll then broadcast on the programme.  </p>

<p>In the meantime, we're sitting back and waiting for the most watched golf shot in history (at least that's what some are predicting). <br />
