The mad act of Pastor Wayne Sapp, who last March 20 in Florida burned a Koran under the supervision of the evangelical preacher Terry Jones, has sparked controversy and violence.
When it comes to Christians in the Islamic world ~ do Muslims really need an excuse to attack!!
However, the burning of the Koran has sparked the reaction of Islamic fundamentalists who, in the space of a few days, have attacked three churches and killed two people, fueling the climate of fear and distrust within the Christian community.
Christians are already living as dhimmis ~ under the Pakistani Constitution a Christian ~ cannot become president ~ there are a whole lot of restrictions on the practise of their religion ' ~ that Muslims don't face and they do not receive the same protection under the law ~ which means that they could be attacked, kidnapped or even killed, with little ~ if any, recourse under the law...
....and its Terry Jones who is the problem, he is making things worst for them?
Mr Jones is to blame!
Hard to take that seriously!!
Why don't the Pakistani lawmakers pass a resolution ~
that gives Christians, Hindus and others equal rights to Muslims ~ how about that!!
Scrap the Shari'a law ~ that holds non-Muslims as 2nd class citizens ~ and grant them equal citizenship rights!!
The letter addressed to the head of Interpol, explains Rehman Malik, demands that the matter be treated as a case of "violent crime" and that urgent measures be taken for the future, to ensure such episodes are not repeated.
But Interpol doesn't deal with Islamic laws ~ time for Muslims to put Muhammad's sword down now!
Islamabad (AsiaNews) - The Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik - on the recommendation of President Asi Ali Zardari - has sent a letter to Pope Benedict XVI and the Secretary General of Interpol Ronald Nobel, in which calls on them to condemn the burning of the Koran and take action against the instigator, the American pastor Terry Jones. The Senate in Islamabad has also intervened on the episode, unanimously passing a resolution urging the U.S. to bring the controversial preacher to justice.
The mad act of Pastor Wayne Sapp, who last March 20 in Florida burned a Koran under the supervision of the evangelical preacher Terry Jones, has sparked controversy and violence. The initiative has been repeatedly strongly condemned by Christian leaders in Pakistan and India, defined as "an insane and disrespectful act” by a U.S. citizen that has nothing to do with the Christians of Pakistan. However, the burning of the Koran has sparked the reaction of Islamic fundamentalists who, in the space of a few days, have attacked three churches and killed two people, fueling the climate of fear and distrust within the Christian community.
The letter addressed to the head of Interpol, explains Rehman Malik, demands that the matter be treated as a case of "violent crime" and that urgent measures be taken for the future, to ensure such episodes are not repeated. The resolution adopted unanimously by the Senate, as well as requiring urgent action against the pastor Terry Jones, calls on all Muslim countries to express their indignation against the United States and the United Nations to register a "shameful act" towards Islam.
The interior minister also condemns attacks on churches and the burning of some copies of the Bible, the work of Islamic fundamentalists. Malik explains that he has instructed security forces to investigate the matter and take "appropriate measures" to "safeguard the rights of minorities, their properties and sacred places."
In recent days, the Christian community has repeatedly emphasised that there are no ties between the United States, Pastor Terry Jones and Pakistani Christians, who "were born and belong only to the motherland." Bishop Anthony Rufin of Islamabad / Rawalpindi, has repeatedly reiterated that "we should not be equated to the Americans." Fr. Anwar Patras, a Catholic priest, has added that the Christian community, first of all, belongs to Pakistan: "We were born in this land and we will be buried here, we have no connection with Pastor Terry Jones and his sick ideas."
