This



is part of the medieval thinking that Islamists hold and promote.

Mentally impaired child arrested under Pakistan's anti-blasphemy law

Pakistan really is possibly setting itself up as a pariah in that region of the world, at least to the West. They claim concern about terrorism but let terrorists base themselves in their country. What's that about?

Guilty once charged

Pakistan's blasphemy vigilantes kill exonerated man

This is the problem in these strict Muslim cultures. It doesn't matter what the law says, the extremists and fanatics will still do what they feel is necessary for them to do despite the law. They feel free to interpret anything as blasphemy, it seems, and the law has been proven to be used unfairly to settle grudges and get property, because, as we see here, it doesn't matter if you're guilty or not, you still lose.

Have mercy on him, Lord.

(I'm certainly glad that my God and His prophets and representatives are big enough to take care of themselves without the help of the little people...)

Obviously,

being Muslim doesn't mean that you'll be upstanding, generous, kind, truthful or honest in any way, any more than being Christian automatically means that.

‘Blasphemy Laws’ Used to Jail Elderly Christian in Pakistan

Of course, being Christian means rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, for example, following the law, and in no way calls for death for anyone who transgresses somehow.

A twelfth century religion and and 12th century belief structure in the 21st century. Such a disgrace...

Good for them


New Catholic TV station launches in Pakistan

Support for the faithful and promotion for the faith. They seem to be almost as far ahead as we are here...why am I not surprised?

Murderers


Pakistan Funeral For Burned Christian

The people who do this are murderers, and there's no word to describe how evil are those who incite these heinous crimes.

Lord, have mercy on your people...

More atrocities

by Islamist fanatics.

6 Muslim employees of Christian agency murdered in Pakistan

Unarmed civilians seem to be a favourite target of these cowardly murderers...

Have mercy on all the dead, Lord, and comfort their families.

Apparently,

it all started out, if you can believe the reports, with a young boy touching a street vendor's wares.

Unnamed Christians Accused after Muslim Attack in Pakistan

And so, after a reported 150 armed Muslims riot, shooting, burning and beating people, the authorities arrest 40 Christians. Somehow it just seems out of balance. They just look for any excuse for violence against non-Muslims. And such is the way of the law in Muslim countries, I guess. The Muslim fanatics could never be at fault, could they?

A separate State

for the Muslims of India, which became Pakistan, is certainly an unlawful and violent place.

Muslims burn 6 Christians to death after false allegations

Have mercy on those slain, Lord, and bring those responsible to justice.

The police, as usual, did nothing. Such evil...
