How dare anyone say blasphemous things against religion? See what happens?

From the story (http://www.christianpost.com/article/20090703/mob-attacks-100-pakistan-christian-homes-on-blasphemy-charge/index.html): "Under Section 295 B of Pakistan’s Criminal Code, insulting Muhammad or Islam, or desecrating the Qur‘an, is punishable by life in prison or death."

"The incident happened at Bahmani Wala village in District Kasur, Sardar Masih, 38, a tractor driver had asked way to Mohammed Riaz who is blocking the way with his motor-cycle, but the latter became angry and abused Masih as 'low caste' how he dare asked him. A scuffle took place between both of them which, later, became reason of a critical incident.

Riaz contacted Qari Lateef, a local clergyman who is known for his infamous blasphemy cases in Kasur. Qari Lateef urged Muhammad Riaz to plot a blasphemy accusation against Sardar Masih and other Christians."

Blasphemy laws exist in many European countries too...
