BARBARITY OF PAKISTAN

Pakistani police blocked a bail request for Rimsha Masih who suffers from Down's
syndrome and mental retardation, hoodwinking her release would endanger her life
and that of her family. The girl is accused of blasphemy for imaginary burning a
Koran.

Geert Wilders declares Islam is primarily a dangerous ideology rather than a
religion. Islam fails four major tests that religions should fulfill: Adherence
to a religion must be a personal choice; no religion should demand that those
who leave it be killed; a religion must never mandate the subjugation of those
who do not belong to it; a religion must be in accord with basic human rights.

­The detention of the innocent girl has sparked outrage and divided Pakistani
society. Christian rights groups have demanded her release along with amendments
to the penal code, while barbarian Muslims call for the girl to be burned alive!

Franklin Roosevelt observed that wherever the Muslims have had a complete sway,
wherever citizens have been unable to resist them by the sword, civility has
ultimately disappeared. Roosevelt rejected as naive the notion that all
religions are the same. Some religions give a higher value to each human life,
and some religions and belief systems give a lower value. Our social values,
including equality before the law, exist only because the Christians of Europe
did what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do – that is, to beat
back the Moslem invader.

John Quincy Adams pointed out that Muhammad poisoned the sources of human
felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the
allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as
part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. The essence of Muhammad's
doctrine was violence and lust; to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of
human nature.

Pakistanokleptocrats point out Rimsha would be safer in custody until the matter
has been resolved and the public has cooled down, as the situation could easily
spiral out of control if rushed. Blasphemy is publishing or uttering matter that
is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any
religion, intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents
of that religion. It's scary to think that a progressive state would drag out
antiquated laws to suppress freedom of speech. Sometimes you have to shake your
head and wonder how in this day and age a law that supports prosecuting
detractors of a two millennia old fairy tale is allowed to be on the books.

Rimsha is so traumatized she cannot speak, but the stupid Islamabad police sent
a preliminary report to the Interior Ministry saying the girl had admitted to
burning the Koran! A medical board had also been set up to ascertain the state
of Rimsha's mental health.

Blasphemy violates no one's rights. To cave in to intimidation and not publish
anything religulous freaks feel is offensive is to surrender the crucial
principle of free speech. This clash is about respecting man's right to express
his views, however unpopular, in the face of religious attempts to subordinate
that right to mystical dogmas. Instead of appeasing the mobs who call for
executing anyone offending their faith, the West must support those who share
its political ideal of free speech.

The All Pakistan Christian League held a protest in Karachi on Saturday, calling
for police to drop the charges of blasphemy set against the 11-year-old innocent
girl and the launching of a judicial inquiry into why a minor with mental
impairments was arrested in the first place.

Blasphemy laws are silly and dangerous. It is silly because medieval religious
laws have no place in a modern secular republic, where the criminal law should
protect people and not ideas. And it is dangerous because it incentivizes
religious outrage, and because Islamic States are already using the wording of
blasphemy laws to promote new blasphemy laws at UN level. Blasphemy laws are
unjust, because they silence people in order to protect ideas. In a civilized
society, people have a right to express and to hear ideas about religion even if
other people find those ideas to be outrageous.

Rimsha was taken into custody last week in the Christian area of Islamabad after
a barbarian Muslim crowd demanded that she be punished. She did not burn pages
of the Koran, she was just found with pages of the holy book in her bag. Several
innocent Christian families fled the neighborhood as a result of the unrest.

Secular society is rejected by religulous freaks. They demand a special
position, insisting on special consideration of their religulous feelings. But
this is incompatible with freedom of speech, where one must be ready to put up
with insults, mockery, and ridicule. Journalists should treat religulous freaks
the same way they treat atheists, cultists, spiritualists, spirituals,
politicians, philosophers, scientists, artists, and businessmen, integrating
them into the Graecoroman tradition of criticism and satire, because they are
part of society, not strangers. Blasphemy is including, rather than excluding,
religulous freaks.

Tensions have escalated drastically recently between barbarian Muslims and
innocent Christians in Pakistan. Two days ago the body of an 11-year-old
Christian boy was discovered in Punjab. The boy's lips and nose had been sliced
off and his body showed was burned. There were false imaginary accusations of
blasphemy against the innocent boy.

Pakistan is a terrorist nation. Pakistanis believe Mohammed who promised 72
virgins in heaven for each martyr! From the very beginning, the partnership
between the US and Pakistan has been a marriage of convenience. Pervez
Musharraf asserts it was a forced marriage. Deputy Secretary of State Richard
Armitage warned Pakistan shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, to be
prepared to be bombed, to be prepared to go back to the Stone Age!

In the fall of 2001, Americans toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Pakistan had previously helped to install the Taliban in power because it viewed
it as an ally against its archenemy, India. So the end of the Taliban also meant
the collapse of Pakistan's defensive strategy. Since then, Islamabad has worried
that the US could hand over Pakistani intelligence to India.

Pakistan's strategy is supporting terrorists that attack India. Pakistan's
nebulous position toward the Taliban led to circumstances in which the world's
most wanted terrorist could reside safely under the nose of the military for six
years. Al-Qaeda has links to the Taliban and to terrorists that target India.
Thus Pakistan's soft stance toward these groups ends up facilitating al-Qaeda
and its agenda. Indeed, bin Laden struck a deal with Pakistan's military
leadership to ensure his safety in the country. This speaks volumes about the
Pakistan's dual policies on terrorism.

The Pakistan-based Haqqani, a veritable arm of Pakistan's intelligence agency,
attacks U.S. embassies. While Haqqani have conducted attacks against U.S. and
NATO soldiers in the past, embassy attacks now represent an escalation against
U.S. Pakistan's support of insurgent groups and terrorists is the most
significant obstacle to achieving stability in the area.

Pakistan is a society based on tribal groups. Each clan maintains a complicated
network of relations, like a mafia. Under these conditions, it hardly seems
imaginable that Osama bin Laden could have spent years living unnoticed just a
stone's throw away from Pakistan's most elite military academy, an institution
as assiduously guarded as the US's West Point or Great Britain's Sandhurst.
Pakistani Intelligence officers knew about bin Laden's home, but they got
kickbacks to keep it secret!
