Shahbaz Bhatti Pakistan's Minorities Minister and a Christian has been shot dead for apparently challenging the Blasphemy law.
What can one say of a country and a People who seem so desperately insecure in their faith that the need to pick up a gun and murder someone with an opposing view is considered increasingly the norm.
A country founded as an Islamic Republic ironically by a gin swingeing western educated lawyer has descended into a dark abyss of murder, poverty and corruption. The murder of Salman Tasseer was bad enough but now Bhatti the only Christian in Pakistan's cabinet has gone.
Cue the real enemies of Islam as they prepare to denounce our faith as intolerant of religious minorities. Pakistan as a nation should be ashamed of what is has become, an economic and political basket case riven by intolerance, not just towards other minority faiths but also hatred between Muslims ie Shia and Sunni.
"say of a country and a People who seem so desperately insecure in their faith that the need to pick up a gun and murder someone with an opposing view"
ReplyDelete- The same can be said of India e.g. Gujarat, why the difference LM, selective Pakistani hating? Amazing how 178 million people can be so easily encompassed by such an egregious generalization.
"Foundation" - Try comparing other Muslim nations, all with their "Islamic" symbols proudly worn.
"Basket case" & "abyss" Try comparing & contrasting with the regional Muslims i.e. Indian Muslims or even Bangladeshi Muslims. The "average" Indian Muslim is in a far worse situation, so Pakistan has advanced relatively speaking. Also, the NW subcontinent started off from a lower base level!
LM & its irrational Paki-bashing yet again.
