<p>The next time the master race, or one of its quislings like Russel Brand, whines about some cartoon they feel offended by, we should counter complain that, burning Pakistani Christians alive, according to laws on the statute books, is many times more offensive, so why aren't they doing anything about that?</p>

<p>I agree Paul, there are a lot of these mysterious incidents in Pakistan. Of course, we could try discern a pattern, with common characteristics allowing us to implicate certain groups and even deduce causality - but we now know that that entire decadent Western scientific process is corrupt and invalid. We know this because it has repeatedly been shown that despite there being over 24,000 despicable incidents of Islamic Terrorism since 9/11, they are nothing to do with Islam or Muslims, so…</p>
<p>I agree Paul, there are a lot of these mysterious incidents in Pakistan. Of course, we could try discern a pattern, with common characteristics allowing us to implicate certain groups and even deduce causality - but we now know that that entire decadent Western scientific process is corrupt and invalid. We know this because it has repeatedly been shown that despite there being over 24,000 despicable incidents of Islamic Terrorism since 9/11, they are nothing to do with Islam or Muslims, so no connection can be made between them and the real Muslims, who we know are all, 100%, decent, lovable law abiding citizens.</p>
<p>Perhaps some of these great Muslim scholars, that have bequeathed to us nearly all our wonders of science and technology, can also elucidate this mystery for us, and perhaps define some new form of causality?</p> I've said it before - I'll sa…tag:4freedoms.com,2012-09-01:3766518:Comment:1111192012-09-01T18:47:34.991ZAntonyhttp://4freedoms.com/profile/Antony
<p>I've said it before - I'll say it again - we should stop giving economic and military aid to Pakistan - they are an enemy and they are playing our leaders like a fiddle, claiming to be on our side in the war on terror whilst supporting the Taliban, building nuclear weapons, and exporting heroin to the West, and their citizens living over here spreading islam are a viper in our bosom.</p>

<p><em> Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday expressed “profound grief and shock” over the burning of the man. Expressing shock, the president directed the adviser on interior to conduct an inquiry into the unfortunate incident and immediately submit the report to him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Deja Vu</strong></p>
<p>An 11-year-old girl with Down's Syndrome is being held on blasphemy charges after being accused of burning pages of the Quran as she apparently gathered paper as fuel for cooking.</p>
<p>The Christian girl, known only as Rimsha, was arrested on Thursday after she was reportedly seen in public holding burnt pages which had Islamic text and Koranic verses on them, a police official told AFP.</p>
<p>A police officer involved in the case, in Pakistan's capital Islamabad, said the accused girl had told him she had no idea there were pages of the Quran inside the papers she had burnt.</p>
<p>Qasim Niazi said the girl was illiterate and had not attended school, although there conflicting reports as to her mental state. He also told CNN 150 people had gathered in a part of town where the Christian population is based and threatened to burn down their houses.</p>
<p>He said: "The mob wanted to burn the girl to give her a lesson." He added families in the area had fled in fear.</p>
<p>Paul Bhatti, Pakistan's minister for National Harmony, told the BBC that it was "unlikely she purposefully desecrated the Koran".</p>
<p>"From the reports I have seen, she was found carrying a waste bag which also had pages of the Koran," he said.</p>
<p>"This infuriated some local people and a large crowd gathered to demand action against her. The police were initially reluctant to arrest her, but they came under a lot of pressure from a very large crowd, who were threatening to burn down Christian homes."</p>
<p><em><strong>A statement from President Asif Ali Zardari called for an urgent investigation into the incident and insisted vulnerable sections of society must be protected "from any misuse of blasphemy law"</strong></em>, Pakistan's Dawn newspaper said.</p>
<p>"Blasphemy by anyone cannot be condoned but no one will be allowed to misuse blasphemy law for settling personal scores," the president's spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said.</p>

<p>I wonder how well the average Guardian reader will be able to cope with this when it is started on them and their children?</p>
