Pakistani girl accused of burning Qur'an

[mammastalkin]

An 11-year-old Christian Pakistani girl could face the death penalty under the country's notorious blasphemy laws, after she was accused by her neighbours of deliberately burning sacred Islamic texts.

She has downs syndrome for goodness sake! This one is hard for me to believe, The article is here. Read it and vomit.

I have....Christians in many Pakistani communities are treated very badly indeed in many matters. That article also quotes the case of a Christian couple who got 25 years' imprisonment just for touching a copy of the Qu'ran with unwashed hands. It is appalling that blasphemy laws can allow an 11-year-old child to receive a death sentence!

Sorry, that's no argument. Things in US justice system are not better just because it's even worse somewhere else

Each religion in its basic is teaching love, compassion and support for each other as we are all human brothers and sisters.

This, what comes out by fanatism - as with this little one and others, is manmade and based on power, voraciouness, sexual craving and all the darkest points in a real worthless individium. But it has nothing to do with any religion in itself at all.

It's about ethnic cleansing and hate. Yet Pakistan is our wonderful ally.
