Pakistan: Christian jailed for insulting Koran
The Sharia is not in force anywhere except Saudi Arabia and Iran, you'll hear. Christians enjoy rights equal to those of Muslims in other Muslim countries, you'll hear. Then why are there so many stories like this one?

From the Post.ie, with thanks to Nicolei:

A Pakistani court has convicted and sentenced a Christian man to seven years in prison for insulting Islam’s holy book, the Koran, as he practiced magic, police said today.
A court delivered the ruling on Monday against Bashir Masih, 35, in the town of Chistian, about 90 miles northeast of Multan, a major city in eastern Punjab province, said Haji Nazir Ahmed, a local police official.

Masih was arrested in August last year in the cotton-growing village of Chak 109 Fateh after a Muslim man complained to police that Masih was insulting the Koran by putting his legs on the holy book while he lay in bed at home, Ahmed said.

Ahmed said that after his arrest Masih told police he would place the Koran on his feet and tear out pages from the holy book on which he would write magic spells to put inside amulets that he’d give to fellow Christians.

This doesn't sound to me like anything anyone with the brains God gave a hamster would admit to doing in Pakistan, no matter what the actual facts of the case. This sounds to me more likely to be just another example of the way Christians are victimized by the blasphemy laws, which are so easy for Muslims to use against Christians they for some reason don't like or want around.

Masih was sentenced under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws and moved to a jail in the nearby town of Bhawalnagar. He can appeal the sentence....
Under the blasphemy laws, anyone who insults the Koran, Islam or its prophet Muhammad can be punished by death. Throwing the holy book on the ground, touching it with feet or saying derogatory things about it are deemed insulting.

Human rights groups have demanded that the blasphemy laws be abolished. Christian groups allege persecution under the legislation.

The other day, I was having a discussion with some people online on a voice chat program @ www.paltalk.com and we started too ask some questions. Are we fighting a war against "terror"? As I see it, terror is only the tool of the enemy, not the enemy itself. Now there can only be one logical conclusion too this, and this is not politically correct too say, but, we are indeed fighting a population of the Muslim society on this planet. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all the terrorists are indeed Muslims. This fact even the Muslims, with some reluctance, have even admitted too me. This is leaving the Muslim community under extreme scrutiny. I saw the Muslim outrage about the prison scandal in Iraq, I did not see it about Daniel Pearl, or the recent killings of a Coptic Christian family in NewJersey. It just seems sometimes the Muslims are silent, when they should be shouting, and shouting, when sometimes, when they should be silent. I think something like a "Million Muslim March" against these Muslim terrorist, would do far more, than a few blurbs in a newspaper , or website. It's time for the Muslim community too step up too the plate, the virtual silence, is deafening....

Be well and be safe, no peace without freedom.
