On the optimist side of things, the April 14th lynching of Mishal Khan at Abdul Wali Khan University has started a debate in the country about reforming these laws. There's been wide-spread support for Mishal among political leaders and common people. Supporting a blasphemy-accused person was a death sentence previously (see Salman Taseer). It's also getting ridiculous lately with everyone being accused of blasphemy left and right, like even the Prime Minister lol - and the accusers are too stupid to realize that "blasphemy" is starting to lose all meaning. It's also got people thinking about requiring evidence for the purported "blasphemy". Currently you only need a clerk accusing you, without any evidence or witness and get ready to be lynched by a mob. Source: Atheist/ex-Muslim living in Pakistan. Pretty open about it to all my Muslim relatives, although they probably keep it cool only because I'm more successful than them and they look up to me :P.
