Someone malign Jesus Christ down South? Guess again. From AP in the Boston Globe:
A nursing school was shut down and its Christian principal and four Christian students suspended after Muslim pupils accused unknown people of desecrating verses from the Quran, officials said Saturday.The action by the management of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Science -- the main hospital in Islamabad -- came two weeks after Muslim nurses protested that verses from Islam's holy book regarding proper manners in drinking water had been erased from a wall.
It was not known which specific verses of the Quran, Islam's holy book, had allegedly been erased.
Altaf Pervez, an area police chief, confirmed the incident, but said he didn't know who was to blame. No spokesman for the hospital, which runs the school, which had a total of 178 students enrolled, was immediately available.
Principal Stella Hidayat said she was in shock after being suspended.
"I was on leave when this incident happened. I don't know why they punished me," she told The Associated Press.
A doctor at the hospital, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the suspensions have been imposed to "defuse tensions."
The doctor said dozens of female students from a notoriously Islamic fundamentalist seminary -- Jamia Hafsa, in Islamabad -- had demanded action against those they said had committed blasphemy.
Islamic fundamentalists are completely insane/backwards/stupid. Where is the cry for justice when innocents are murdered, but when a little graffiti is removed from a wall, they "demand action".
I say scrub that wall a second time and simply read your Qur'an in private.

“It was not known why the four Christian students were suspended”
The answer is in the sentence itself.
Taken from the referenced article…
“Under Pakistani laws, insulting the Quran or Muhammad, Islam's prophet, can be punished with death but such punishments are not known to have been carried out in the conservative Muslim nation. “
Did I read that right …… “conservative Muslim nation. “ and “ such punishments are not known to have been carried out “, they must of left the word officially out of this sentence because there have been many deaths carried out in this CONSERVATIVE Muslim country in the name of Islam

Just another day in the life of the virulent dhimmi- bashing Paki bastards

Better WAKE UP NOW, people: this is what is waiting for all of us if the musulmen take over.
So they took action against some Christians to "defuse tensions". I guess that's the politically correct way to say, "We took action against some Christians so that the more spiritually enlightened of the local Muslim community wouldn't go around randomly cutting Christian heads off in hopes of preventing further erasure of Koranic graffiti."
Quit saying I'm not peaceful or I'll cut your worthless head off!
There's a simple lesson I learned not long ago. You have only those rights you are willing to defend wtih your life. I see more and more that we need to be prepared to do just that. The day may come when you find yourself to be the target of some idealistic youg man whose idealism has been perverted my some twisted hate filled "Holy man". Be prepared. The kind of people willing to take your life is no longer limited to those who seek financial gain etc.. Now many seek an instant trip to paradise.
pakistan that land of living hell. welcome to the perfect islam.
islam, religion of living hell. mohammed the ultimate terrorist.
Robert, Khaybar, Plague or anybody
Any idea which verses are those?
I read somewhere that Sharia means "a path to drinking water"...I don't remember where I saw that, but take it for what it's worth.
do these "students" decrying blasphemy sound anything like the early American pilgrims accusing those they did not like "witches"....the end result will be the same , people will die for no reason at all , except by accusation..no proof, kangaroo courts led by ignorant judges...
...the difference , i suppose, is that our episode of ignorance lasted just a few short years, whereas Islam has endured for about 1400 years and seems to be getting worse...
...and for whatever reason, only a few seem willing to fight....it baffles the mind...
Islam, being a form a blasphemy... against the fundamental rights of the human conscience... among other things, can only be offended by every other religious and irreligious opinion in the world.
Thus they wish to crush all who dare dissent from their theocratic tyranny.
Best they all return to Mecca and fight it out there.
We don't need their homicidal schism in our midst.
I am so tired of random gangs of Muslims "taking offense" at some niggling incident... Wanna bet that this WAS graffiti and some frustrated hospital director told his janitorial staff to "paint the damn wall"?
I think Islam is by definition a psychiatric disorder. (Suspend all critical faculties, ye who enter here!) The whining and seething over insults only they can discern sounds like "Hypervigilance":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance
Only one (54:28), based on a search of "drink" and "water" ("drinking" and water" brought fewer, overlapping results) seems like it would fit the part. Many of the rest deal with unbelievers' being consigned to drink boiling water in hell (no word on hell's supply of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee).
Of course, most of the etiquette concerning drinking (and an exhaustive assortment of other human behaviors) is in the ahadith, and makes for some interesting searching as well-- prohibitions on drinking while standing, and so on.
Maybe the Pakistanis don't deserve decent healthcare.
I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that Nazeem works at this hospital..

I think some Incense and Holy Water are needed to purify the place.. maybe an exorcism... Heck..
I say we call in G.H.O.S.T.B.U.S.T.E.R.S.
On second thought.. Hugo Chavez seems to have a keen sense of sulfuric smell.. why not bring him in to smote the devil out?
Oh now i remember.. he is one of them.. in spirit anyway.
Oh well..

You got THAT right, my Brother!
And OVER my dead body too! I'll take out as many as I can if the islamo-drones ever start the violence over here..
Live FREE or DIE - those are the things that attracted me to leave Germany and come over here instead of staying among the sheeple of Deutschland.
I just couldn't take their *iron will* to conform to whomever is controlling the info-wars.
If only a few more of my misguided Krautz could develop a bit of independent thinking!
If ANYONE can lick this problem - as bad as things are beginning to look over here sometimes - it is still the one and only.. the good ol' U.S of F*ckin' A******!!!!
THAT is why they call YOU the Great Satan. Cuz the USA is Mankind's only and last and best hope!
It has the track record to prove it.
That is why SOWdi BArbariakeeps heaping loads of cash onto the POLOticians here.. they KNOW they need to bring us down and the rest will fold like a cheap house of cards.
To think that I used to be for 'gun control'.. NOW I know BETTER!!
I know I want to be able to bear arms when the time comes...
"The action by the management of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Science -- the main hospital in Islamabad -- came two weeks after Muslim nurses protested that verses from Islam's holy book regarding proper manners in drinking water had been erased from a wall."
"proper manners in drinking water?" What kind of God would concern himself with how people drink water?
I suppose the stalls in the lavatory have instructions on the doors on the proper way to take a dump.
The God of Abraham and Jesus would tell them to stop killing innocent people in his name.
No other religion could be so lacking in spiritualty.
